CATCHING WILD ANIMALS. 
Leopards were caught in nooses made of cat 
or monkey gut. The tiger, the leopard and the 
panther have all the cat’s habit of sharpening 
and cleaning their claws on tree trunks. But 
whether it is true that preferably they will use 
a tree that bears previous claw marks I cannot 
say. It would be interesting to have the opinion 
of someone experienced on the subject. How¬ 
ever, the pursuers are believed to have selectd 
such a tree, and round and about the trunk of 
it set their strong gut snares. And sometimes 
the cheetah remained secured by the leg. Sure 
it is that some snare is used for these beasts, for 
they are still to be found in the native States of 
Rajputana, and probably elsewhere, kept for 
hunting purposes. And a leopard secured for 
hunting must be caught when he is full grown, 
and accomplished in his knack of pulling down 
game, otherwise, however much he were trained, 
he would never acquire the quickness and per¬ 
ception as in the wild state when he has to 
secure for himself each and every meal he par¬ 
takes of. I have seen these cheetahs tied to 
ordinary charpoys, and taking quite a place of 
their own among their keepers’ families, who 
seem to fear them not at all. They are carted 
to the scene of action, with hoods on, which are 
removed when the animal is shown the object 
of his required exertions. I have been told that 
they are always rewarded for a successful chase, 
with a cup full of fresh, warm blood from the 
victim, and some even say the liver, cut out 
then and there, is given them. To take posses¬ 
sion of these creatures, when only noosed to a 
tree by one leg, must need great courage and 
dexterity, though it seems an easy enough mat¬ 
ter to tame them once they are captured. 
Monkeys can sometimes be secured by the 
absurdly simple method of putting some grain 
in a heavy but small-mouthed chatty or gharrah. 
As soon as Jacko knows what is inside he pops 
in his fist and fills it full. The object is to have 
the opening too small to allow his doubled up 
full fist to be withdrawn. He has not the sense 
and cunningness that is generally attributed to 
him evidently, for it does not occur to him in 
this instance to empty his hand of grain and so 
get free, for he will go on struggling ineffec¬ 
tively without doing so, as often as not proving 
his own undoing.—Asian. 
THE FISHHAWK. 
“The fishhawk tells us when the shad begin 
to run up the river,” said a Gloucester fisher¬ 
man. “We have learned that it isn’t much use 
to cast the nets, no matter how mild the weather 
may be, until Mr. Fishhawk swoops down on 
us. When he comes sailing up the bay, we 
know it’s time to get to work. Lots of farmers 
down Jersey would never think to start plant¬ 
ing until the fishhawks come. I don’t believe 
they have ever been later than April 12 , though. 
They work their way up the coast from Florida 
and the other southern waters early in March, 
when the fish begin to come north. They fol¬ 
low the big schools of herring, as a rule, be¬ 
cause the herring swim close together, and the 
hawk has easy picking. The shad follow the 
herring, and when the fishhawk comes we know 
the shad are not far behind.”—N. Y. Fishing 
Gazette.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s 
book supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old—who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
by the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing, tourna¬ 
ment casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all. He tells 
“the how” of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. 
All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate’chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods; to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rod'/; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well-known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indis¬ 
pensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 60 working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $ 1 . 00 .

Where, When and How to Catch 
Fish on the East Coast of Florida 
By Wm. H. Gregg, of St. Louis, Mo., assisted by Capt. 
John Gardner, of Ponce Park, Mosquito Inlet, Fla. 
With 100 engravings and 12 colored illustrations. 
Cloth. Illustrated. 238 pages. Map. Price, $4.00. 
A visitor. to Florida can hardly make the trip without 
this book, if he is at all interested in angling. It gives a 
very complete list of the fishes of the East Coast ol 
Florida, and every species is illustrated by a cut taken 
from the best authorities. The cuts are thus of the most 
value to the angler who desires to identify the fish he 
takes while the colored plates of the tropical fish shown 
in all their wonderful gorgeousness of coloring, are very 
beautiful. Besides the pictures of fish, there are cuts 
showing portions of the fishing tackle, which the author 
uses. A good index completes the volume.
