On lakes the boat drifts slowly along a "beat," while the angler casts diagonally over the spots where salmon are wont to lie. Salmon may also be caught by "mid-water fishing," with a natural bait either spun or trolled and with artificial spinning-baits of different kinds, and by "bottom-fishing" with prawns, shrimps and worms.
Among the various traditions there is one relating to the Rhenish town of Worms which calls for inclusion here as much on account of its intrinsic merit as because of its undoubted popularity.
"I don't know anybody by that name, and I don't care," said Thomas Jefferson doggedly; and went back to his fishing. Followed another interval of silence, in which two more worms were fed to the insatiable sucker at the bottom of the pool. Then came the volcanic outburst. "I think you are mean, mean!" she sobbed, with an angry stamp of her foot. "I I want to go ho-ome!"
Often have I seen our poor fellows viewing their daily allowance of bread, with mixed sensations of pain and pleasure; with smiles and tears; not being able to determine whether they had best eat it all up at once, or eat it in small portions through the day. Some would devour all their bread at once, worms and all, while others would be eating small portions through the day.
A boy said that he had persuaded some of his friends who were going fishing, to put their bait worms into a dish of boiling water to kill them before they started, and also to promise him that as soon as they took their fish out of the water, they would kill them by a sharp blow on the back of the head.
The natives of New Holland themselves get fat upon serpents well-killed that is, with the heads adroitly cut off, so as not to suffer the poison to go through the body; or upon earth or tree worms nicely roasted. The Turks roast their kebabs something near to mutton-chops by holding them to the fire on skewers.
"I don't see how you could have any thing to do with worms," said Eliza Jones. "I hate them the horrid, squirming things!" "So did I, Eliza, till I studied into their ways and learned what wonderful things they can do; and now, I assure you, I have a high respect and admiration for them." "Will you tell us about it?" Florence asked.
She had not been feeling well of late the heat had been too much for her but she had announced a strong desire to accompany the young folks, if they went very far from home. They found the three boys industriously digging worms, and so intent were they in this absorbing occupation that they did not look up when the party approached. "What are you doing?"
"Ah, go on!" cried Mary. "You have done all that is needed just now, and more too. There won't any fish bite to-day, but you can have the pleasure of stringin' thim poor sufferin' worms on a hook and soaking thim in the river." "'Sufferin' worms! Sufferin' Job!" cried Jimmy. "What nixt? Go on, Dannie, get your pole!" Dannie went.
A few intestinal worms may cause no appreciable effect on the host, but as soon as their numbers increase serious conditions may come about simply by the presence of the great masses in the host even if they were not robbing it of its nourishment. Many instances are known where such worms have formed masses that completely clogged up the alimentary canal.
