American angler's guide : or, complete fisher's manual, for the United States: containing the opinions and practices of experienced anglers of both hemispheres ; with the addition of a second Fishing. TYiN<i HOOKS, ukiwiuim; nops, ktc. 325 the ond under one turn of the silk, making a loop, and drawing ii down. The hidden knot is the belter and most secure mode. To repair a broken joint.—Should you he so unfortunate as to break a top or joint, which misfortune, brother angler, has happened to many a mote careful and scientific sportsman be- fore you—proceed in this manner. Take your two broken parts, and with your knife, or a piano if you can get one, smooth down each part in an oblique direction, fitting them closely together, and rubbing some shoemaker's wax on to the parts to make them stick; now take a long length of waxed thread or silk and wind it around, similar to the commencement of hook-tying, merely to keep the parts together, continuing it a little beyond the extreme end of the fracture; then carefully and firmly whip it evenly around until you pass the other end of tin' fracture: here halt, and wind the three last turns on the tore- finger of the left hand, extended for that purpose ; now pass the ond of the silk or thread under the windings, carefully drawing out your finger, and pull it through, and you have the hidden or inverted knot, as before "escribed. He careful in finishing, see that your thread does not get loose, and your whippings arc firm and even. In all eases of winding, see that your silk is well waxed. Some take a small piece of wax and rub it evenly over their hook or rod windings, which adds somewhat to its security. To splice a rod properly at home, when you can have every- thing you desire, the parts should be sawed with a fine saw, and afterwards tiled down evenly with a fine file; they should then be well glued, and left to dry before winding; to finish neatly after winding, take a round, smooth pioco of wood o
