Trout-Flies from Love-Tokens.

A most extraordinary story of troutflies made from human hair was related to me by a friend of mine who is a manufacturer of sportmen’s materials. There used to be a gay young fellow in this city who made love to every young girl he came across. He must have been rather successful, for he always managed to secure a lock of hair from each one of his conquests. This young man had an equally strong passion—trout fishing. He loved to fish for the speckled beauties pf the brook and muse on the many beauteous maidens among whom he divided the treasures of his heart. An idea struck him; he w'ould have a fly constructed out of each lock of hair he possessed. He took his collection oi silky love-tokens, gleaned from perfumed tresses, to the manufacturer of sportmen’s materials, and requested him to make the deshed flies. When finished he placed them in his fishing poeketbook, each one attached to a card with the name of the girl and the date of the gift. His subsequent fishing was a long dream of romance. Even in their broiled state the trout had a halo of memory about them which gave them a flavor for which Lucullus would have forfeited an empire. He brought every conceivable shade, oolor, and kind of hair to be made into flies—black, light and dark brown, gray, white, golden, yellow, auburn, and red, curly, wavy, and crinkly. In less than three years my friend made him 150 trout-flies, which would be at the rate of a new girl every week. He was asked one day which colored flies he preferred. In reply he said rpd flies were preferable to any of the others, and thpt in# future he intended to confine his attentions to young ladies whose heads glowed with flame-like hues. In proof of tills ha married a girl with red hair, and had ten flies constructed out of one of her tresses. For some little time after his nuptials his heart remained true to his Aerypolled bride" and his red-haired flies. One day, however, he brought my friend a lock of hair of a far deeper hue of auburn, and instructed him to make two flies, as he found, that the fish would no longer bite at his wife's liair. His better half discovered the change of bait, and began to smell a rat. Tp make scatters worse, he one day went to his office leavingUhe key of his private desk at home in the lock. The lady examined the premises and discovered the abundance of flies, to which he had only the previous day added his latest conquest. The wife returned to her mother that very morning, instituted proceedings for divorce, and gained her suit, the flyhook being produced as evidence in court. If you search the court records you will find full confirmation of what I have just told you. —New York Star

Perfectly Amazed.

In the San Francisco Evening Bulletin, we observe that Mr. Rosenthal, of the wellknown printing firm, Rosenthal & Roesch, 538 California street, that city, said to one of their reporters: “We all know of St. Jacobs Oil, and are perfectly amazed at the suddenness of the relief it affords. If you know of any one who is suffering with rheumatism, bruise or sprain, tell them to use St. Jucobs Oil.

A Matter of Politics.

In 1822 William Eustis and Harrison Gray Otis were running for Governor of Massachusetts. Both were Unitarians. Soon there came to Oti3* ear the rumor that Eustis was carrying all before him in Western Massachusetts by reason of his orthodoxy. It was a day or two after the voting that Otis fell in Avith Eustis, Avith whom he was well acquainted, when he hailed him with: “How is it, Eustis, about that story that you were orthodox? How long have you been that way of thinking, I’d Like to know ?“ “Oh, only just before election l" laughingly replied Eustis. Certainly an elegant remedy for all aches and pains is St. Jacobs Oil, says Dr. J. Turner, of Shirrell's Ford, N. C., in the Ravenswood, W. Va., News. Oraig Skidmore, of Stauford, Ky. was charged with forging the license under Avhioh he Avas recently married, but the tidal resulted in his acquittal. It came out that the paper he offered as a marriage license was not inspected by either the bride’s father or the officiating clergyman, and as it had disappeared there Avas no proof that a forgery had committed. It is also stated that the woman is already the mother of an illegitimate child, and that the preacher aylio tied the knot got a half gallon of whisky for the job. He is said to have skipped out to avoid testifying iu the case.

Overcrowded.

As long ago as 1846 if. P. Willis wrote to a correspondent: “As to writing for magazines, tint is very nearly done with as a matter of profit. The competition for notoriety alone gives the editors more than they can use. You could not sell a piece of pot try now in, America. *The literary avenues are overcrowded, •nd yon cannot live by the pen, except tus drhdge to a newspaper.” Rev. A. M. Ford, of W r aw, Ky, writes: “I have nsed Dr Guyso t’s Yellow Dock and Hnrt-apurilia with great hen fit I think it beats the world as a medlcfne to give str. ngth and pui ify tho blood. It h s cur d me of b. d blood, weak k.dneys and poor digestion.?'

Wood Staining.

A novel system of .staining wood has been introduced that has the merit of simplicity and cheapness. The wood having been carefully planed and finished, it is given two thin coats of sizing. This is prepared by adding to glue a small quantity of albumen and alum. When this is dry and hard, the design is paipted or stenciled upon the wood, the intention being to produce a pattern, one part of which shall be of the natural color of the wobd, the stencil of the design selected representing the white parts only. For instance, if the finished work is to show white figures on a dark ground, the white parts only must appear to the stencil. When the sizing is dry the pattern is painted on in Canada Balsam, or Brunswick black. When the balsam is hard and dry the whole surface is washed with a sponge and warm water. This will remove the sizing from all those parts of the wood not protected by the hard balsam, which resists the warm water. W hen the wood is dry the exposed parts are stained in imitation of walnut or other dark woods. When the staining is finished, the balsam is removed by brushing it with turpentine, leaving the pattern or design in the natural color of the wood on the dark, stained ground. The finished work is said to resemble closely inlaid wood.
