Ro lived at the northern end o i Lake, a pretty sheet of water, eight miles long, while Rock- land was at the southern extremity. the two places the forest stretched unbroken; and there was not a single house on either bank. The winters were cold, and from December to April of every year the lake was a sheet of smooth ice. We Poys became experts.in the use of skates, and most of our leisure time was spent on the ice. The greatest rivalry existed between the two lake towns, and skating matches were fre- quently held. Although the country was sparsely settled, nearly all the wild animals had disappeared before our coming, but there were bears-in the forest and wolves—big, fierce fel- lows that hunger sometimes made dan- gerous. One cold afternoon toward the end of January I buckled on my skates for a trip to Rockland to make final arrangements for a skating match be- tween teams from the two towns that was set for the next day. I was late in starting, and the boys at Rockland kept me so long that it was after sun- set before I left for home. But it was full moon, and the big yellow orb was Just peeping over the woods at my right as I struck out. I was in no hurry and skated alonz easily, saving my strength for the mor- row. I had gone about a quarter of the distance when, from somewhere away otf in the forest, there came to amy ears the howl of a wolf. All was silent again for a few minutes, then the sound was repeated. It was not so far off this time, and there was no answering note from the opposite shore. That these beasts would attack a man never occurred to me, but being alone on the lake apd far away from home, the close proximity of the svolves made me uneasy, and I quick- ened my strokes a little. By this time the moon had risen high enough to make everything light as day, only along the eastern shore the shadows were still dense. Sud- denly from the woods on my right an- other series of howls broke out on the might air, and as I glanced around 1 saw half a dozen long, gaunt, gray creatures leave the underbrush and come racing towards me over the ice. I realized then that the wolves were chasing me and grew thoroughly frightened. My fears were increased svhen I saw several more ieave the cover of the western bank, and cutting diagonally across, join the first pack. I buttoned my short coat and struck. out at my best pace, thinking that when they saw me leaving them they svould give up the pursuit. That was a mistake, as I soon saw. They, too, increased their speed, and came bounding along after me, their bodies almost touching the ice. Every now and then one of them would give voice to a shrill bark. One big fellow Jed the pack by several yards. The pace was telling on me and my pur- suers were gaining every second. A glance backward Showed them not a Jundred yards in the rear. Home was still four miles away and there was no help near. I had noth- ing in the shape of a weapon except my jack-knife, apd as I sped aleng I drew this from my pocket and opened the big blade. The pack was at my back when it Joccurred to me that I might yet escape them by putting in practice some tac- tics famiiiar to every one whe has played the game of “tag.” These tactics were nothing more than dodg- ing the wolves when they came close enough, and I knew that on the smooth ice I had them at a disadvantage, Slackening my speed, I waited for the leader of the pack to approach a little nearer. On he came, until I could see the fire flash from his eyes and the froth drop from his haif-open Jaws. When he gathered himself to spring, I turned sharply to the right and darted off at full speed. The manoeuvre worked perfectly. The wolf leaped just as I spun about, and instead of alighting upon my shoulders, he went slipping and slid- ing over the ice for a distance of seve- eral yards. The rest of the back, in their attempt to turn quickly their feet and fell over each o Teiving me several precicus seconds, ] I used to advantage. "By my trick I had but the wolvy Q iC on Jeade iE aiid SE a ns” Tide — ng gained the start that 1 did the first time. However, it helped, for as 1 heard the quick: breathing of the pack at my heels once more, I saw .the lights of the village around a bend in the bank, But the murderous beasts were too intent on their prey fo be friglitened off even by the proximity of the set- tlement. My strength was mearly gone and I was afraid that I could not execute the dodge this time with the success that had followed my other efforts. Nerving myself for a su- preme effort I altered my.course again, and for the third time the wolves went sprawling, but in turning I gave my right ankle a twist, and with a shrill cry of pain fell full length upon the ice. I gave myself up for lost and awaited the attack with my knife ready. When they saw me at bay the wolves hesitated, but only for a moment. One big fellow made a leap for my throat, when there came a shout from the shore, followed by a gunshot that laid the wolf low. His death was the sig- nal for the flight of the others, and away they went, pursued by several rifie balls. \ When my father and two brothers reached me I was so weak from fright and pain, that they lad to carry me home. On‘'the way they told me how one of the neighbors. being out on the ice, had heard wolves Lhowling.- This alarmed my father as he knew I was away alone, and when I did not reutrn at sunset he and my brothers started out to meet me? Well for me was it that they did so. The match came off the next day and the Skagway team won, but with- out any help from me. My sprained ankle prevented my. taking any active part in the race.—Presbyterian Ban- ner, WINDS AND DRAUGHTS Scientist Shows That the Former Are Beneficial and the Latter Dangerous. Professor Max Herz, an Austrian scientist, has just published an essay upon the difference between wind and draught, which is likely to convince the publie that the old-fashioned prejudice against draughts is not altogether un- justified. By a draught is meant the currents of air in an enclosed space. Our fore- fathers attributed nearly all the evils that beset them to draughts, and they would not have slept in uncurtained beds for anything. Of course, their windows and doors were shaky and houses stood far apart, so draughts were nearly inevitable. But the mod- ern scientific world tries to deny draughts altogether, and calls them winds, which are harmless and even healthy to a certain degree. Dr. Herz says that any one who cares to find out the difference between a wind and a draught can do so in any apartment which has windows on dif: ferent sides of the house. Let him open a window on a windy day on the side of the house toward which the wind blows. The air which comes in is quite harmless if the person exposed to it be dressed in warm clothes, and littie children may take the air in a room thus ventilated. But let him open a window past which the wind blows, and it will be found that the air in the room is moved by a number of cur- rents, all of which strive to reach the opening. It is the passing wind which sucks up the air in the room and draws it out, and this causes the room to have what is called a draught. § The effect upon sensitive persons is immediately felt, like the forerunner of pain to come. A draught will al- avays be felt as colder than the wind. Very dangerous draughts - are those that are produced in railway cars by the rapid motion of the train. It is not wind that gets into the carriages, but the air of the car which is sucked out. A lighted match held to the chink of the window will prove this—as the flame will be drawn toward the win- dow, not blown from it. ’ Irving’s Stagecraft, It chanced to me once, and only once, in a life of some faring by land and sea, to ride up a Kurdish gorge at early dawn, the sky still starry, as the eharcoal-Durners had begun their work, and to see over all, as the smoke rose, a gray-blue light as of the depths, some touch of deep-chilled enveloping air on gorge and mountain-side, as though a sapphire had aged, and grown gray and wan. Once only I saw this, and never again. When, in Faust, the curtain rose on the Brocken, I saw before me the same miracle of gray- blue. “How did you,” I asked once at supper, “who ride abroad so little and are so rarely on the mountain-side, hit on this, the rarest of lights?” “Once,” and he took up a small plate, “I saw in a gallery,” and he named it, but I have forgotten, ‘‘a landscape by Durer the size of this plate, a mountain-side in the early morn in this same gray-blue light. It gave me the light I wanted for the Brocken.”— Talcott Williams, in the Atlantic. Odd Origin of “Orange.” ‘Oranges came originally from India, having been carried westward by the Arabs.

HREE men at Juncheon in a downtown chop house 0 T were eating fried spallops. “Where do these’ things X 2 F come from?’ asked one. “They're some kind of shellfish ”’ ventured another. “Yes, that's what they are,” re- marked the third man. ‘‘But they're cuit into little squares like dice before they’re cooked.” This conversation revealed thet what the average person doesn’t know about scallops would fill a pretty big book. The only true thing that any of the three men said was that scallops are a shellfish, But they are not: cut into dice-like squares. The part of a scaliop fit to eat is round, like the eye of an oyster; but it gets its cubic form from being tightly packed in boxes for ship- ment to market, “The scallop is a fall and winter deli- cacy. Like many other good things for the New Yorker's table, it comes from Long Island. Fishermen of the Maine coast also catch scallops, but Fulton Market dealers say they cannot equal the Long Island ones, and so the latter are the more popular here. THE HOME OF THE SCALLOP. Peconic Bay, on Long Island, is the home of the scallop sold in New York, and "one town down there, New Suf- folk, seems to have a monopoly of the scallop-catching industry. On Septem- ber 1 scallop fishing is begun, and the baymen keep hard at it as long as the bay isn’t closed by ice. So far this season does not give promise of a plen- tiful supply of scallops. As a conse- quence this shellfish is quite high now. the market price beings about $4.50 a gallon. In an average season the price ranges from $1 to $2. Scallops were first discovered in Pe- conic Bay about fifty years 'ago—in 1857, to be exact. One day in the late fall of that year a schooner from Nor- walk, Conn., was seen sailing around off New Suffolk. The natives noticed she seemed to be dredging for some- thing. A party of them, headed by Captain George I. Tuthill, a retired whaler, -who died a few years ago, went out to the schooner and saw she was loaded with ‘what they thought at first were clams, but which proved to be scallops. The sub-circular, ribbed shell of the scallop was new to them. The Connecticut schooner’s captain told the Long Island men that he was going to take his catch back home and sell it there. Scallops had been found in Connecticut waters some time pre- vious to this Yankee's visit to Peconic Bay. But he wasn't satisfied to be one among many at home, and so he set out on a prospecting voyage, as it were, finally locating an extensive bed of scallops in Peconic Bay, off New Suf- folk. Captain Tuthill and his brother, a one-time whaler like himself, some days later rigged up a couple of dredges such as the Norwalk skipper | had used. Then they set out scallop- fishing. They made a fair catch, and, as the Yankee sailor had shown them how to open the scallops and take out the edible part, they determined to ship a box to a commission merchant at Fulton Market. The scallops, however, failed to make a hit there on their first appearance, and in a week Captain Tuthill was informed by the commis- sion merchant that his shipment had spoiled. He was advised, though, to send some in the shell. He shipped a barrel that way. These were sold, and there was a call for others. In this way New Yorkers became acquainted with scallops, liked them, and cried for more. THE RISE OF AN INDUSTRY. Thus the business that has become an important industry on the east end of Long Island had its start. Captain Tuthil’s example was followed by other New Suffoik men, and. soon doz- ens of the inhabitants of that place were shipping opened scallops to Ful- ton Market as fast as they could get them ready. For a long time scallops were to be caught only in the part of Peconic Bay off New Suffolk. Later they were discovered in other sections of the bay, and scalloping became quite an industry all along the bay from Riverhead to Greenport. But New Suffolk always seems to have held the lead in this business. Nowadays bay- men from many other places come to New Suffolk every fall and winter seeking scallops. The scallops lie on the sandy bottom of the bay. They are migratory and seem to shift around like schools of fish. Sometimes they are found in great beds piled up one on top of an- other several tiers deep. The baymen catch them with a dredge made of a large strong net with a five-foot iron plate at its mouth. «~The dredge is; at tached to a length of rope, the other end of which is fastened to the scallop boat. On Peconic Bay, sailboats are used exclusively in scallop fishing, but on the Maine coast the scallop fishers have boats propelled by naphtha as well as sail. Down on Long Island the scallop fleet sets sail at daylight. Each boat usually has two men. The boats all make for spots where it is known scailops are to be found. Hav- ing arrived at the scallop bed, dredges are tl three on a side. The € of the bay, As the hoat wn out, the bottom ole 101 uilline the dr hauled in, and the baymen find out what sort of luck they have had. Often a dredge may. contain nearly a bushel |. of scallops, but there are times, too, when it is full only of seaweed. Occasionally the baymen come aeross a scallop bed a mile or more square. Then nearly all of them ‘make for it at once, and for days their boats, with dredges out, circle round the place, from a distance looking like a flock of sea gulls. When a bayman secures a fair load of’ scallops, one part of his day’s work is done, and he makes a start for home. The earlier a scalloper gets home, the sooner his. catch is opened and packed in boxes for ship- ment to market. At New Suffolk scal- lops are opened in little shacks called scallop shops, built along® the beach. Each boatman has his own scallop shop, and to it he carries his.catch at the end of the day’s scalloping. The scallops are opened afternoons and evenings so. &s to be shipped to market on the early morning train of the Long Island Railroad. Opening scallops is an industry par- ticipated in by men and ‘Wwomei, boys and girls. At one side of the scallop shop is a:.long, high table, at which the openers stand or sit on high stools, In front of each opener is a square ‘hole, cut in the table. Under this hole is a barrel. At ‘the right 2 wooden box stands on the table, while at the left is a pile of scallops. The opener takes a scallop in the left hand, deftly sep- arates the shells with a knife held in the right, and, quick as a wink, re moves the growth known as the rim around the white, medty; eatable part. This latter is flipped into the wooden box at the opener's right. The shells are dropped through the hole in the table into the barrel. Many of the openers are so expert that they keep a steady stream of scallops flying into the box. A bushel or a bushel and a half of scallops in the shell yield a gal. lon when opened. Openers are paid twenty cents a gallon for their work. When scallops are plentiful they do a rushing business. The girls and wom- en oiten make the best openers, and their earnings frequently are quite large. One married woman at New Suffolk last winter made $3 a day, and she quit work long encugh every day to go home, and prepare her husband’s meals. On Long Island farmers’ wives and daughters join the openers in the winter, when there is nothing to be done in the agricultural line. They are glad of the opportunity to earn pin money, and the baymen in the winter, when scallops are usually the most plentiful, are delighted to secure all the openers to be had. Scallop opening is never allowed to become dull: work, for in every shop visits of musical na- tives are encouraged, with the result that banjo, guitar and violin concerts are common, especially on dreary win- ter nights. * Then the scallop shop stove has a glowing fire, and all hands sing lustily. COST OF THE SHELLFISH. Not a few of the Long Island baymen have become quite comfortable catch- ing scallops. The prices they get at the market for their ‘catches vary greatly. Sometimes when there is a big supply they receive as low as fifty cents a gallon. The price now, $4 to $4.50, is unusually high, but scallops are very scarce.” From $1 to $2 is a fair .average price. Out of this the scalloper must pay for opening and shipping his catch, as well as a com- mission to the merchant who handles the scallops in the market. Early winter is usually the busiest period of ‘the scallop season. Then many Long Island baymen have been known to clear, for a time, as high as $50 to $100 a day. One man out of his earnings last year bought a boat for $1800. He and others who were equal- ly successful had to work early and late. But the Peconic Bay scallopers are pretty husky chaps, and they have no inclination to avoid strenuous labor. In very rcugh weather the daring and clever seamen among them get a good chance to reap a harvest, for then the timid souls stay ashore. AS a result, the baymen who venture out have a monopoly of scalloping for the time be- ing, and they are able to make larger shipments to market than usual. There seems to be a steady demand for Peconic Bay scallops. Although comparatively few restaurant patrons know just what they are and where they come from, this ignorance does not make them relish the dainty shell- fish any the less. Ordinarily, Scallops are served fried, with a slice or two of bacon. If cooked shortly after being caught and opened, they have a de- licious flavor. But there are tricks in the scallop trade, as In every other. Sometimes either a bayman or a mar- ket man soaks scallops in water in order to make them swell so that an ordinary gallon of them will yield a gallon and a half. This process de- prives the scallop of the flavor that is all its own. Not many city lovers of the shellfish, however, notice the differ- ence. But any one who has eaten seal lops as they are cookéd in the scal- loping towns on: Peconic Bay, readily detects the trick.—New York Evening Post.

Oldest Dwellings in Europe. One of the very earliest human set- tlements in Europe is Roche Corbon, on the banks of the Loire, seven miles above Tours. Here limestone cliffs stretch for miles and are pigeonholed with caves, which are on different leve els and open onto terraces. When the rest of the country was nothing but forest land Roche Corbon was a thriv- ing settlement inhabited by wild skin-clad predecessors of the present cave dwellers. These terraces and caves were formed by the action of mighty rivers, and during the glacial period, when the climate of that por- tion of France was very severe, man drove out the bears and- hyenas and took refuge in these natural shelters, which faced south, and so became hu- man settlements of a primitive sort.
