A CASTING EXHIBITION. 
I was fishing on a small river in Germany 
and there met two other anglers. When they 
first attracted my attention, says a woman angler 
in the County Gentleman, I was standing knee 
deep in water. As I turned to look at the in¬ 
truders they swept off their hats with that grace 
only attained on the continent, while, some little 
distance behind, a figure that I had not noticed 
at first waved a big sombrero, and bowed him¬ 
self into the, scene with a grace that even ex¬ 
celled his masters. I was wading in rather deep 
water, and as the anglers had a kind of “we- 
have-come-to-stay” look about them, I came 
ashore as elegantly as the stony bed of the river 
permitted, and smiled as sweetly as it is pos¬ 
sible to smile when disturbed at One’s favorite 
pastime. 
I had, a secret fear that I was “poaching,” for 
I could imagine no other reason which would 
cause two strangers to introduce themselves in 
such an uncalled for manner. I was much re¬ 
lieved to discover it was merely intense curi¬ 
osity The anglers introduced themselves—one 
had a Scotch name, a German appearance and 
an American accent; the other, holding a tiny 
gold-mounud rod in hands neatly clad in a pair 
of gray kid gloves, introduced himself by a name 
no Briton could . pronounce without eating a 
quince. , , . 
I noticed he had attempted to make the arti¬ 
ficial fly which dangled from his line more allur¬ 
ing to the fish by attaching to it a fine [at mag¬ 
got. Subsequent inquiries elicited the fact that 
he never had caught, and never was likely to 
catch, a fish. The strange person with the som¬ 
brero was introduced by the Scotch-German- 
American as “our servant Altmann. 
They begged me to go on casting, saying it 
was a beautiful sight, which they could stand 
there forever to watch. Being of an obliging 
disposition I complied, and as luck, or rather 
the fish would have it, succeeded in hooking a 
trout at the third cast, and soon, owing to its 
size, landing it. The Scotch Mixture was great¬ 
ly elated, and with loud cries of ‘ Durchlaucht 
called the attention of his companion to the 
silvery atom that lay on the bank. 
There is nothing profane about “Durchlaucht. 
It is really a most noble form of address.. The 
other, who, until spoken to, was busy trying to 
avoid the affectionate attention of the maggot, 
which had got entangled in his sleeve, smiled 
and said it was really too wonderful. By this 
time I was in a beautiful dream, and felt quite 
amiable and friendly toward the strangers, and 
when invited by them to join in 3. slight lunch- 
eon, which Altmann had spread invitingly on 
the’bank, I accepted without a moment’s hesi¬ 
tation. 
During a very cheery little meal Altmann dis¬ 
appeared. but he returned immediate y after¬ 
ward with an enormous bouquet of wild flowers, 
most beautifullv arranged, which would have 
done credit to any West End florist. This he 
presented to me with a few respectful compli¬ 
ments, while the Scotch Mixture and the Ger¬ 
man Essence stood by, and smiled as. a mother 
might on seeing her darling child receive a prize 
for good attendance at the Sunday school. 
By this time the evening shadows were fall¬ 
ing. and having to catch a train, I bade fare¬ 
well to my chance companions who, with un¬ 
covered heads, watched me out of sight. To 
the English mind their behavior might have 
seemed impertinent, but, to the foreigner, a 
woman who takes part in any sport is the cause 
of wonder, admiration and a bouquet. 
EXTENDING THE CATALOGUE HABIT. 
Deputy Consul-General Henry P. Star- 
rett, of Habana, reports the following unique 
scheme of teaching English in the Cuban public 
schools of Habana Province, instituted , by the 
supervisor of English, Miss Abbie Phillips: 
Miss Phillips has asked all the representa¬ 
tives of English and American manufacturers in 
Habana to supply her with their catalogues, 
and especially those which are profusely illus¬ 
trated. These catalogues are distributed among 
the schools and students, and a large part of the 
time devoted to English instruction is used in 
explaining the names and uses of the articles 
illustrated. 
This seems to offer a rare opportunity for a 
great deal of free advertising for those manu¬ 
facturers who are willing to send their illus¬ 
trated catalogues and pamphlets to the super¬ 
visor. The great value of this method of teach¬ 
ing is that the rising generation of Cuban youth 
will learn the names and uses of the articles 
illustrated at the most impressionable age, 
which in the near future will reflect to the ad¬ 
vantage of those manufacturers. Miss Phillips 
states that any kind of catalogue is welcome, 
whether dealing with office supplies or crush¬ 
ing machinery. 
It is suggested that interested manufacturers 
and exporters send a half dozen sets or more 
of their illustrated literature to Miss Abbie 
Phillips, Supervisor of English, Obrapia 57, 
Habana, Cuba.
