‘ , irrss saunas. â€"-â€"â€" I e.‘ Inns [premiering the Iridescent leave of the Waters. Without the merry sunfish all angling or any general angling water would be incom- plete. The sunfish is the trick dog of the troupe, th clown of the pan tornime, always in the road, always bein stumbled over, yet always good-humo , and invariably provocative of a smile, whether that be at his ability or at his impudence. An errant thief, a light weight bully, a professional pickpocket, an ever hungry gamin of the waters is he, always ready to strike at a big bass fly, to follow and nibble at a trail- ing frog's hind legs, or to asssil a gaudy spoonhook as large as himself. He is always being caught, and sent up for a life sen- tence, yet somehow, wnen you go fishing the next time, there he is again, fairly itching for another theft of the provender you have arranged for more important personages. He is a constant reminder of a question which has troubled more than one anglerâ€"Why is it that the little fishes are always eating, and yet never get so large as the great fellows that only once in awhile, in a Iordly sort of way, condescend to look at the angler’s lure! To Judge from his actions the sunfish must eat enough in the course of a year to sustain the frame of the mightiest muskallonge, yet he hasn’t got much to show for it all at the end of the year. He rarely grows so heavy as a pound. a carccrmus FIX wanna. The brilliant uniform of this gypsy soldier, this gaudy zcuave of the Waters, is familiar over the greater part of the Continent, what ever be the name b which he is known. Brook or river, pen or lake. reedy bayou or babbling, tree-clad stream, it matters little to him, and he is there, brighter in the bright waters, darker in the dull, bigger in the big wafers, hungry in them all. He is a common angling acquaintance,but no one [he ever knew him and his appetite could ever accuse him of avarioious or sordid mo- tives. He doesn't eat for the same ransom that prompt the greedy pickerel, for fear that something will get away from him, but just because he can't help it. He bites for the fun of the thing. There are not very many ways in which one can not catch the sunfish, and any one would know that advice thereon would superflu- ous; but the grave~minded and earnest angler who holds no real hustler of a fish as beneath his notice will carefully consider the possi- bilities of the sunfish and methodically set about turning the latter to advantage. In such plans the old rule of light tackle, of course, comes in. No one but a brute would deliberately an out to catch sunfish on pike tackle, although he might inadvertently capture one at an moment while properly fishing for the larger fish. The sunfish is so small that afull-grown man is far stronger than he. If there is to be any fairness at all, or any tqualization of the chances, the tackle must be as fine as can be procured. One, naturally,will take his lightest trout rod. his most delicate line and leader,and the smallest books of his portfolio in angling for this little fish; even then, the chances will be all with the angler, for the tough lips of the sunfish are as unyielding as they are eager, and it is very rarely that a sunfish once hooked ever gets away. The tackle can not be too light, but it need not be in the least expensive, if it so happens that one has not just the thing in stock already. A 75-.) rod, ~$2 reel, a 300 line. 10c worth of books and a pocketful of worms will equip one magni- ficently for this humble sort of sport,although it is, by all means, advisable that the angler avail himself of the added dignity which invest: any sport when the very best appliances are used. SUNFTSH BAIT The sunfish will bite readily at any small white belt, such as a piece of minnow or frog, a section of fish gullet, or a portion of the intest ines of a fowl. It dates on angle- worm, is not averse to a small and clean grub worms, and will lose its heart to a grasshopper every timeâ€"sometimes a cricket or a small bug of almost any kind will tempt it, or a piece of a crawfish or helgre- mite. It rises readily to the artificial fly, and can be killed in any quantities on a small and free running spoon. It will strike at almost any moving objectâ€"sometimes under circumstances which are fairly ludicrous in their absurdity. It is much more apt to follow and take a maving bait than one which is left stationary, its curiosity seem- ing fairly to make away with all its prud~ once. If the bait is stopped in its motion, often than the sunfish will stop too, and stand motionless, with solemn visage and protruding eyes, looking steadfastly at the object in question, and never offering to move as lcncV as angler and bait remain motionless. At the least motion of the latter it is very apt to dart upon it. In c )mmcn with many of its family, the sunfish for a time stands guard over the nut containing its youthful progeny, and on ssch occasions will at once attack fiercely sry fish or any obj act which approaches it. You may often see it seizi a bit of floating weed or a stick which comes by in the stream, and notice that it carrieeit away clear of the nest. returning at once to stand ,guard again. The gsmin loves his chldren ; indeed, there is not in the whole fish family so strong a manifestation of the psrental efi'ection as that shown by the sunfish. There is much more intelligence among fishes than most people think. One ies of sunfish actually builds a house for its little ones, throwing no a very large and pronounced mound or flattened cone in the water. Over this it swims back and forth, fairly bristling with importance and pugnacity. At such a time it is the easiest thing to catch the sunfish, for it will run at any bait, but he must bee degraded man indeed who would kill even a sunfish under such circumstancrs, A “151‘ N THE ANGLES. In clear running streams you will often see the surfi=h flashing across the shallows and rifllss, ‘e fish as bright and brilliant in oolcurin as any but the trouf, and possess» ing an it deseent splendor in the sunlight which no trout can approach. The s nailer fish play on the sandy reaches; you will take the largest ones in under the bank ‘particular. where the water eddies around, deep and dark. Usually if the sunfish intends to bite, it will come witha rush, strike savagely, and play very strongly for a fish of its size. It has really very game qual- ities, so that the angler who starts in at catching iris vorys s to keep on, some- times killing more i an he really should.

This is imply butch-' dry, the moreespecially as a great men pecpledo notliketobeet the trouble 0, preparing so small a fish for the table andso allow most of the catch toga to waste. It should be the case of the genuine and noble minded angler not so much to capture a large number of fish as to ta e a small numbsrof the largest and finer. specimens, returning for another time the immature ones. Let them live out thei. lives, and see all that the round of life has for a fish to see. They are entitled to that. We, as men, civilised, and retainin onlyin a modified form the instincts an practices of savegery, should be quick to see this ; and since we are strong, we should be merciful. l'he bravest are the tenderest in any line of life. About the best form of sport at the sun- fish is found in fishing with the fly around the edge of some quiet pond. At this time of the year there is apt to be a heavy bank of moss and other v station. In little open “pockets” among t is moss, or more often yet just at the outer edge and facing the open water, the sunfish lie in schools, wait- ing for the drop ing in of something which may be construe as an invitation to dine. Sometimes in the heated portion of the day they will not bite so freely, although it is a feature of this fish to take the fly much more readily in the middle of the day than most fishes. If the sunfish is simply idly curious about the quaint insects the uncle! trails under his nose, he will up reach the hook slowly and apparently sun at it, or scull slowly up, end on, and store the angllor in the face, in which case the latter wi beforced to laugh in spite of himself, so comical is the appearance of the slim oval which faces him, with protruding eyes, a snub nose and fins which suggest the abbre- viated wings of a rather angular-looking cherub. As the fisher locks on, quaklng with laughter at this amusing apparition of the water, 10 I it slowly fades from sight, sinking by imperceptible degrees into the deepening hues of the Water, as the fishy isolrub sculls back by occult wriggles of his W Economy in the Kitchen. “Kate, what are you thinking of 2 You have two‘ candles for your knitting 1" “Oh, no, ma,am, I haven’t but one ; but I cut it in two."

Shearman's recent speech in Portland. Oregon, in which he dec'ared that 100.000 person! are of in- comes which enable them to save aboutthreo- fifths of all the wealth that is annually sav- ed in this country, and that. unless our method of taxation is changed, within thirty or fifty years this 100,000 will own three- fiftbs of all the property in the Nation. The New York.‘.' Tribune" denounces Mr. Sm, and attempts to show that more t ' half of our annual increase in wealtbls divided among four million farm owners. In this attempt the "Tribune" manifests more daring than wisdom. Mr. Shearman is not a labor agitator, except so far as facts agitate. His rhetoric in Port- land was the rhetoric of understatement. Had he said that 100.000 men own today more than all the rest of the Nation, he would not have been wide of the truth. What the " Tribune " says about the great number of property owners in Ameri. ca is true but meaningless. Mr. Andrew Carnegie once stated that there were more shareholders than workmen in the Penn- sylvania Railroad system. This may also be true, but it. too, is meaningless. In England and Wales there are more land- owners than farm laborersâ€"the former sum- berin 972,000, the later but $10,000. But woul Mr. Uarne e or the “ Tribune ” on that account doc are it absurd to say that one per cent. of the families in England owned three-fifths of all the land? This is the logic of their position. Yet the fact is that practically three fifths of it is owned by 4,217 persons. The income tax returns show that in England 57,000 persons, re- presenting less than one per cent. of the families, own fully three-fifths of the whole wealth. Although our statistical bureaus have generally avoided the investiga- tion of the distribution of wealth, yet there are facts enough to show how nearly we have approached the con- dition of- things in England, at the thought of which the “ Tribune " shudders. In the cities and towns of Mlchi an, accord- ing to the second annual LabcrgReport, 1,- 200 of the inhabitants own 61 per cent. of all the real estate. This is where property is remarkably well distributed. In New York City the bulk of the real estate is owned by 10,000 persons. In 1880 official statistics were published as to the distribution of ownership in United States bonds. It was found that, although there were 71,000 pri- vate holders, ever 60 per cent. was held by 2,300. These holders of bonds are the same men that have the large holdings of real es- tate. In the ci of Columbus, Ohio, it has been estimated t at one hundred and fifty men own more property than all the remaining. A banker of Omaha, Nebraska, recently ex- pressed the cpinion that more than half the wealth of that city was held by one hundred men. In Cleveland, Ohio, according to a dispatch to the New York “ Sun " last week, there are sixty-three millionaires (names all 'ven), whose a grevate wealth approaches§300,000.000. his sum divided among the people of Cleveland would mean $7,000 per family. The estimate is prob- ably exaggerated, but the likelihood re- mains that these sixty-three men are worth as much as the remaining forty thousand in the city. In selecting one hundred thou. sand families who would own more than all the remaining eleven millions in the nation, Mr. Shearman might take twenty thousand instead of ten from New York, and five hundred instead of one hundred from such cities as Columbus, Omaha, and Cleveland. The ownership of farm lands is, as the “Tribune” claims, well distributed ; but it must be borne in mind that the public in- debtedness of the country and its railroad securities (which are held almost exclusively in cities) are worth more than all the land which is actually owned by the farmers. The estate of Mr. Willem H. Vanderbilt alone was worth more than the 165,000 farms in the three States of South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. As regards the concentration of wealth, the United States cannot boast much over England. Since 1860 its wealth has increased from fifteen to fifty billions. During the next thirty years it will probably increase from fifty to one hundred billions. Whether the next fifty shall go to increase the power and luxury of those already rich, or to increase the com- fort and independence and culture and man- hood of the mass of our citizens, is the po- litiral question of our times. _._.____...â€"â€"-â€"â€"â€"-- Blood Will Tell.
