ON THE GRAND BANKS. How and Cod and Halibot Are Tnlten by the Small Vessels. Gustav ICobbe writes an article en titled "On tlio Grand Banks and Else where" for St. Nicholas. Mr. Kobbe says; . . The trawlers are generally found on the Grand Banks, the hand-liners on the Western Bank and Qulro. These hand-liners are smaller vessels with fewer dories, and the men fish with hand-lines, one man and two lines to & dory. The hand-liner sits In the middle of his dory, with a compart ment in Its stern, another In Its bow, for his catch. When you see the bow sticking far up in the air, you know the fisherman has his stern-load. Then, is flsh after flsh flashes Into the other compartment, the bow settles, and when the dory Is on an even keel the hand-llner pulls back to the vessel. The trawlers bait with fresh her ring, mackerel, and squid; the hand tlners with salt clams. The catch of both la split and salted, and the vessel has a full "fare," or eateh, when Bhe has "wet her salt," that is, used up all her salt—and is full of fish. A traw ler's voyage lasts about eight weeks; a hand-liner's, eleven. A trawler's crew receives no wages, but fishes on shares. First, the cap tain gets a percentage; of the remain der one-half goes to the vessel, which "finds," that is, supplies the gear, •tores, salt, and half the bait; and the •tber half to the captain and crew In iqual shares, which run from sllO to Jl5O, and even to $230. But among the liand-llners each man 2* paid according to what he catches, Ihe "faro" from each dory being Weighed as It Is taken aboard. This stimulates competition. There Is Judgment In knowing where to flsh, or how long to stay over a certain spot; and even the quickness with which a tine Is hauled In will make a percepti ble difference at the end of a day's fish ing. It means something to be "high line," as they call the best fisherman, at the end of a voyage, and those who win this distinction time aud again, as some do, become known as "killers" and "big fishermen." The main catch on the Banks Is cod and halibut. There is also a fleet of small American vessels which pursues .the merry swordflsh. Swordflshlng is good sport—whaling on a small scale. A man, dart In hnnd, stands in the vessel's bow, supported by a seml-clr cular Iron brace. When near enough to the fish, he lets fly the dart. A swordflsh may weigh 350 pounds. One can tow a dory a mile, and a piece of the sword has been found driven through the bottom of n pilot boat. Put to Many Uses. Sharks furnish a number of valuable products. The liver of the shark con tains an oil that posseses medicinal qualities equal to those of cod-Uver oil. The skin after being dried takes the polish and hardness of mother-of-pearl. The fins are always highly prized by the Chinese, who pickle them and serve them at dinner as a most delicate dish. The Europeans, who do not appreciate the fins as a food, convert them into a fish-glue. As for the flesh of the shark —that, despite Its oily taste, is eaten In certain countries. The lee landers, who do a large business In sharks' oil, send out annually a fleet of a hundred vessels for the capture of the great fish.

It was at a smoker and foamer of the telegraph operators that the dean of the key jugglers told this one, says tho Detroit Free Press: "What brings it to mind is the yellow fever reports from the south. All that you read can give you no proper con ception of the reign of terror prevail ing down there during the epidemic. When they first ran a railroad into one ,of the richest mining districts of Ala bama I was made operator of a little cross-roads station. It took a long time to convince the natives that I could talk to all parts of the world with that little 'click n'' machine of mine. I finally was able to convince them. The wife of one of their number bad ; gone to Mobile to attend a sick daugh ter who had been the beauty of the neighborhood and had immortalized her memory by being taken to some other part of the world by a rich husband. Through an arrangement with the Mo bile operator the old couple carried on a conversation of such a personal na ture that neither could doubt the iden tity of the other. Then the common superstition of the people intervened and they concluded that the Instru ment was an invention of the devil. "While they were in this frame of mind there came the nows of the yel low fever. Force was the most na tural way of resisting all kinds of evils down there and for days the depot was occupied by armed men. Never was a more efficient quarantine es tablished. No one could get on or.off of the cars at that point. Even con ductors, brakemen, engineers and fire men had to stick to their posts. One day I received a telegram from New Orleans for a gentleman who was held by tlio quarantine. It announced that his son was better and would survive. Foolishly I read it to the grim guard In the depot. They snatched the mes sage from me with a howl, all the more savage because the paper was yellow. They burned it, wrecked the instru ment, cut the wires and came mighty near lynching me for exposing them to yellow fever." It Is a waste of time to make love to i cold, unsympathetic girl. About tho est you pan expect from her is the Cliilkoot pass. Niglit ITotiot* to Sleep In. To insure restful slumber all night ilresses should be softly trimmed, and, above all things, never starched. The most restful and sensible gown is a plain China or India silk, simply trimmed. For those who do not like the sensation imparted by silk —and there are many such—there are com binations of silk and linen and silk and wool. Prevalence of Plaids. There are few things that cannot bo found in plaids this year. A woman may oe plaid from head to foot if she will. She will not if she has good taste, for a little plaid goes a long way. But she may have a hat trimmed with plaid silk or velvet, and this may bo pretty or ugly according to the se lection tiiat is made. Then there may lie a plaid silk blouse with a plaid skirt, if there is not a whole suit with a plaid outside blouse. A plaid belt ribbon with an enameled plaid buckle, plaid link cuff buttons, and the feet may be incased in plaid stockings, which nro further adorned with plaid shoes, high front and back, something of the style of the Juliette shoe of days past. The shoes are unlovely, but they might suit some people. The girl with a family tree rooted in Scotland is not as happy as she might be supposed to be with all this variety of plaid. There are many plaids, but few genuine tartans. The manufac turers look for beauty rather than Scotch ancestors in their goods, and while many of the Scotch plaids are beautiful there are more which have not much to recommend them to the public taste.—New York Times. To Dress Well. To dress according to the seasons is a simple matter and one readily grasped by the average woman. But to dress correctly, according to the rules of street etiquette, is in itself a fine art, and demands tact, observa tion, good taste;and judgment, says Form. The Parisienne, from the aris tocrat to the bourgeois, is mistress of it, and has won the enviable reputation of being the best-dressed woman in the world. A costly aud charming gown becomes offensive if worn on an occasion that demands simplicity. Jewels, in themselves things of beau ty, often border on the vulgar. Gowns seen upon our streets in the morning are sometimes of shades and materials rich enough for dinner and evening wear. Extravagant and costly gowns ara intended for the house, to please our friends and togivecolor to our homes, leaving the quieter shades in wool for the street. Our grandmothers were so strict in this regard that the saying was an uccepted fact that women who appeared gaudily dressed on the street did so because they had no other place to show their clothes.— Pittsburg Dispatch. Champion For Arbitration. In view of tho forward strides the principle of international arbitration is taking, a brief sketch of one of its chief promoters, Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey of Winthrop, Me., is of special interest at this time. Mrs. Bailey was born in Cornwall ou-Hudson, July 5, 1839, aud came by inheritance to the arbitration idea, for David Johnson, her father, was a minister in the Friends' church. She was educated in the public schools and a Quaker boarding house, and subsequently broadened her miud by European travel. Beturning to Amer ica, she taught school for many years, and in 1868 married Moses Bailey of Winthrop. After her husband's death in 1882 Mrs. Bailey continued his business of oilcloth manufacturer, in which she displayed remnrkable ex ecutive ability. Upon her son attain ing his majority she left tho business in his hands aud dedicated herself to works of philanthropy. In 1888 she was elected world superintendent of the department of peace and arbitra tion of the Woman's Christian Temp erance union, and under her direction this department has been organized in twenty-six states of the union. She is the author of "Reminiscences of a Christian Life," and her pen is ever active in the various causes she has interest in. In her beautiful lake home of "Sunnyslope" and her sum mer cottage of Cobbosseecontee, on an island nearby, Mrs. Bailey receives mauy tired Christian workers and does all she can to sweeten their lives. She is in every respect one of Amer ica's remarkable women.—Chicago Record. Hats Preferred to Bonnets. The neat, ladylike, and always ap propriate French toque, bordered and trimmed with fur, has appeared en suite with very many of the hand some church and street costumes worn this winter. This model—which is scarcely a hat and still less a bonnet— has been the choice for seasons past of many fashion able women, but it has not been the favorite with the mil lion. Bonnets and other close shapes are, however, now declining the sub ordinate position which recent fash ions have assigned to them, and are once more worn on all dressy occa sions. At least this is the role fash ion allots to them, but in these days it independence even her autocrntio decrees are put aside, and as hats are so convenient, comfortable, and in many cases far more becoming than bonnets, it will not be surprising if, notwithstanding the present trend toward "dress" toques, capotes and bonnets, the coming season should find the picture hat and all the other endless models still holding their own.J Many of the winter round hats are appalling in their general effect, hut tho majority of the bonnets are grace ful, comfortable, aud, as a rule, be coming. There are also some pro nounced French models that would not suit tho general taste. A bonnet, for example, of golden brown velvet, heavy of pile like a silken fur, affects the outlines of an old-fashioned caleehe just in front. It comes well over the waves of hair, which are to bo worn a la Merodo with this particu lar bonnet. At the sides the shape is round and very short above tho ears, made of a clianagoable flame and golden brown color. This bonnet is trimmed with a billowy mass of red, brown, olive and golden-colored feath ers, effectively grouped. Women's Business Manners. Although all tho pert young busi ness women are not yet subdued, it has been remarked in a discussion on theplaco of women in commercial work that tho average of feminine manners in oflices and various industrial call ings has of late years distinctly im proved. One reason of this is proba bly that a better class of women now think it no degradation to make their own living. In telephone work they have'been a notable success. Their superiority to men for telephone ex change operation, particularly iu the matters of patience and behavior, has been cordially attested by a telephone subscriber in a letter to a New York paper. The writer says that if ho can help it ho never uses the telephone on Sunday. It takes too much out of him. While on week days, when girls aro employed at tho exchange, the service is second to none in the conntry for promptness and courtesy, on Sundays when young men are the operators, the subscriber has to await their pleasure, even in the slackest hours, and besides often wanting much time in getting a connection, submit to the brusque and not seldom rude manners of the employe. Tho tele phone oflicials say—without, however, carrying general conviction—that the roughness and comparative lack of cultivation in the voices of their male operators has possibly as much to do with the dissatisfaction of the public with tho Sunday service as the nn coutliuess of their address. They ad mit that the female voice lends itself much more quickly to the influence of the telephone, which "cleans" and re fines it. When to this is added the fact that young women, a3 a class, are not so "uppish" as young men, the preference of the customers of the ex change for tho former as telephone operators is understood. Byway of showing that the pert girl does not always score, an English paper tolls of a young man from London, who, visiting a northern city, wished to let his friends know of his safe arrival. Ha went into a postoffioe and inquired if he could send a telegram direct to London, and how long it would take. The young woman in attendance, who was inclined to be snobbish, cut short his inquiries with: "I am not paid to answer eilly questions." Her face took on a modified expression when she found herself compelled to wire the following message: "Arrived safe. Girls liaro ugly and bad-tempered.-- St. Louis Globe-llemocrat.

Robert Krook, tho Swedish Klondike miner,tells the San Francisco Examiner that Esquimau dogs will draw two hundred pounds each on a sled, so that six dogs will draw a years supply for one man. He, however, puts in the proviso that the sleds should not have iron runners, because the snow sticks to tho iron and increases the friction so much that the dogs cannot haul more than one hundred pounds apiece. With brass runners this drawback is obviated. Last winter Esquimau dogs cost from $75 to 3200 apiece, and be does not think the price will increase materially, because when the.demand is known the supply from other parts of Alaska will be plentiful at Dyea and other points along the Yukon. Sometimes tho feet of the dogs get sore, and then the Indians lit moccasins on them; as soon, how ever, as the tenderness is gone from their feet, the dogs will bito and tear tho moocasins oil. In speaking of the dogs ho said that they need 110 lines to guide them and are very intelligent, learning readily to obey a command to turn in any direction or to stop# They have to be watched closely, as they will attack and devour stores left iir their way, especially bacon, which must be hung up out of their reach. At night, when camp is pitched, the moment a blanket is thrown upon the ground they will run into it and curl up, neither cuffs nor kicks sufficing to budge them. They lie as close up to tho men who own them as possible, and the miner cannot wrap himself up so close that they won't get under his blanket with him. They are human, too, in their disinclination to get out in the morning. Where sleds cannot lie used, the dogs will carry fifty pounds apioce in saddle-bag 3 slung across their backs, pannier fashiou. Nature lias fitted lhe3o dogs for their work, and so mas tiffs and St. Bernards are not so ser viceable. The two later breeds can not stand the intense cold so well, and, though at first they will draw the sleds cheerfully, their i'eet cannot, re sist the strain, and begin to bleed sa freely that the dogs are useless. The pads under the feet of tho Esquimau dogs are of tougher skin. Progressive Pish Propagation. The yearly report of United States Fish Commissioner John J. Brice shows that 180,000,000 of codfish eggs were collected, from which 1)8,000,OOC of cod fry were liberated 011 the natural spawning grounds along the coast of [Massachusetts. This was an excess over the previous year of about 40,000,000. Of winter flounders the output was over 64,000,000 of fry from about. 80,00,000 of spawn. The work of propagating lobsters has been largely extended, and, although there was a poor catch of females with eggs, Dver 128,000,000 of spawn was secured, from which were produced over 115,- 000,000 of fry, an increase of 20,000,- 000 over tho output of the previous year. Of shad spawn over 203,000,00G were secured, some 55,000,000 mora than during the previous year. Of whitefish the take of eggs was 200,- 000,000; of lake trout, 16,000,000; of Atlantic salmon, 28,000,000; of land locked salmon, 1,000,000; of quinnat salmon, 75,000,000, and season foi these had not ended when tho report was compiled. To test the probable value of the quinnat salmon in Eastern waters 4,000,000 of fry were liberated last spring in tho St. Lawrence, Hud son, and Delaware llivers iu New York, and in tho Indian and Penobscot Rivers in Elaine, and 250,000 were bold to be liberated when yearlings iu the Penobscot. Hnry George's lteply. The late Henry George, after his ad- Tresses 011 the laud tax theory, always invited his hearers to ask questions, which he delighted in answering. Iu 18SS, after a lecture at Howard Uni versity iii Washington, a Western Con gressman, acceptiug the invitation, said: 1 'After all, Mr. George, you advocate % system of confiscation of property, tf I should take wild laud and culti vate and beautify it, I would have won undisputed title to the land itself, and you should recognize my proprietor ship in it." This sally won loud applause from the audience, but tho applause was deafening when Mr. Georgo had flung back this reply: "I thought I had explained that all improvements ought by right to belong to the improver. On that we agree. Igo farther. All that you produce out of tho land by your labor should belong to you. If I should see you sitting 011 the seashore fishing and should see you catch a large fish, or, in othtfr words, bring forth or produce that fish, I should maintain your right to it as your property, to use, to sell, to give or bequeath; but I'll be hanged, sir, if I'll agree that you own the ocean from which you produce that fish. Land stands in the same rela tion to man."—Springfield Republi can, Has* Hlheruato in 31 u<l. Tho draining of a pond at the State Hatchery, St. Joseph, Mo., a few days ago for the purpose of removing the bass to another pond furnished a sur prise to Fish Commi.sioner Yenawine and Superintendent Carson. So few bass were found that they suspected some thief had captured the former inhabitants of the water, but a short time after the pond was drained una of the men stumbled onto a tislx in walking over the partially dry bclom of the pond, and, upon picking it up, he found a bass, and brvestigatiou re vealed a large number of the lishes ensconced in tho mud, some of them twelve inches below the surface. Com missioner Yenawine thinks this ex perience should set at rest all doubts as to whether the black bciss hiber nates in the mud in the winter. HENRY'S DIPLOMACY.

In a block of houses recently built in a village not far from Glasgow It was found Impossible to let houses of ! two rooms except to people who meant j to take lodgers, and this although the- , rents were moderate. The proprietor | reluctantly rearranged them as single j room houses, but provided only one bed in each. Still they did not let. The proprietor n.t length asked a man who had looked at the houses, hesitat ed, and nt last refused to take one what was the objection. The man ad mltted that they were well built, and convenient; that they had an advant age over many as liigh-rentod In hav ing as out-buildings a laundry with a good boiler, locked coal-cellars, de scent and sanitary closets; that the site was healthy, the neighborhood re speetable. With what, then, did he find fault? The explanation was prompt; there was only one bed. "But said the proprietor, "you are a newly-married man; you have nc children; why do you need another bed ?" "If a friend came to see us," was tho immediate reply, "we might want an other bed for him." When at last the landlord gave up the attempt to Improve the notions of tire working class in the matter of propriety, and put two beds in each room, the houses let at once.—Glasgow Herald.
