ON THE GRAND BANKA
How anil Cod and Halibut Art Taken
by the Small Vcaacts.
GUPIAV Kobbt* writes an article eu-
Mtled "On the t;rand Banks and Else

nays;
The trawlers are generally found on
ihe Grand Banks, the hand-liners on
the Western Bank and guiro. These
tnnd-liners are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand-lines, one man and two linos to
a dory. The Hand-liner sits in the
middle of his dorj*. with a compart
ment In its stern, another in its bow,
for his catcli. When .von see the bow
•ticking far up in the air, you know
the£fthcrrauu has his stern-load. Then,
•s Ush after fish flushes into the other
TO impart men I. the bow settles, and
when the dory is on an even keel the
hand-liner pulls back to the vessel.
The trawlers hail with fresh her
-ing, mackerel, and squid: the hand-
Iners with salt clams. The catch of
both is split and suited, and the vessel
has a full "fare," or catch, when she
has "wet her salt." thai is, used up all
her salt and Is full of fish. A traw
ter's voyage lasts about eight weeks; a
wand-liner's, eleven.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First., the cap
tain gets a percentage; of the remain
ier one-half goes to the vessel, which
"finds," that is. supplies the gear,
•tores, salt, ami half the bait; and the
other half to the captain and crew in
shares, which run from sllO to
flso, and even to $250.
But among the hand-liners each man
U paid according to what he catches,
the "fare" from each dory being
weighed as it is taken aboard. This
ftlmulates competition. There is
ludgiiieut in knowing where to llsk, or
how long to stay over a certain spot;
and eveu llic quickness with which a
line is hauled in will make a percepti
ble difference at the end of u 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 and again, as
•ome do. become known as "killers"
and "big fishermen."
The main catch on the Hanks is cod
and halibut. There Is also a tloet of
small American vessels which pursues
the merry awordflsli. Swordflshing is
good sport whaling on a small scale

vessel's bow. supported by semi-cir

the sword lias been found driven

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 ood-llvcr 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 a#a food, convert thorn into
a fish-glue. As for the flesh of the
shark —that, despite its oily taste, is
eaten in certain countries. The Ice
landers, who do a large business lu
sharks' oil. send out annually a fleet
of a hundred vessels for the capture
of the great tisli.

THE OPERATOR'S STORY.
i One About tlie Yellow Fever llurd to
Believe.
I It wus at a smoker and foaiuur of
I the telegraph operators that tin- (lean
i of the key Jugglers told this one, says
tho Detroit Free Frew:
"What brings It to niiutl is the yellow
fever reports from the south. All that
you read ran give you no proper con
cept lon of the reign of terror prevail
ing down there during the epidemic.
When they first ran a railroad into our
of the? richest mining districts of Ala
baniu I was made operator of a little
Toss-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.it'' machine of mine.
I finally was able to convince them.
The wife of one of their numl>er had
( gone to Mobile to attend a sick daugh
| ter who had been the beauty of the
neighborhood and had immortalized her
memory by beiug taken to some other
j 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 iho common
j superstition of the people intervened
and tlicy concluded that tho lnsLru
! incut was an invention of the devil.
"While they were in this frame of
mind there came tlio news of the yel
low fever. Force was the most lut
tural way of resisting all kinds of
vils down there and for days t he 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 i>olnt. Even con
<luetor>. brakenien, engineers and tin
men had to stick to their iots. One
day 1 received a telegram from New
Orleans for a gentleman who was held
by the quarantine. Ii announced that
his son was better and would survive.
Foolishly I read It to the grim guard
In the depot. They snatehed the u;ps
| sage from me with a howl, all the tnore
i savage because the paper was yellow.
They burned it. wrecked the lustru
i meat, cut the wires and came mighty
j near lynching me for exposing them
f to yellow fever."
It Is a wjuaieof time to make love to
i cold, unsympathetic girl. About the

The Crooked Sweet Pea Stem.
In the queen's garden was planted a
long row of sweet peas which grew
and blossomed as only sweet peas in
a queen's garden could grow and blos
som. How lovely they were, and what
a delight were they to the queen.
One bright June morning three tiny
buds commenced to feel their way out
to the sun, and that they might 'see
the queen when he passed by. Bui
long before it was time for the little
buds to bloom, they were caught by
one of the tendrils of the vine which
held them fast, so that the stem on
which they grew was bent all out of
shape.
One afternoon the gardener passed
by, and he saw the little crooked stem.
"Oh," said the flowers, "he will snip
us off and throw us away; for would
not the queen feel sorry If she should
come along and And us growing here?"
And this the gardener was just
ready to do when something attracted
his attention, so that he forgot all
about snipping them off, and for a
time they were safe.
Just at sunset the queen passed by.
"Oh," cried the poor little flowers, "let
us hide, so that the queen cannot see
our deformity."
But the queen did see them. "What
sweet little flowers," she exclaimed,
"and this evening in my hair will 1
wear you. Would God that my crown
were one-half as fair as the sweet
faces of these lovely flowers."
AH that evening tne good queen
wore the happy little flowers, and
then, when she retired for the night
she placed them in a tiny Jeweled
vase, that they might keep sweet and
fresh for the morrow.
"Oh." exclaimed my poor little de
formed boy, "is that a truly true
story?"
"Almost," I replied.
"Tell me tlie true part of It," hs
asked eagerly.
"You are the little sweet pea blos
som, my boy, and mother is your
queen."
How the little lad's eyes shone when
he joyfully cried out, "Oh! Oh! Oh!
and the queen loves me. I knew sho
did. lam so glad, mamma."
"Yes," I replied, hugging him close
to mother's breast, "I do love you.
But Jesus loves us more than we can
possibly love each other, and He has
seen me, and He has seen my darling
boy, and' we know Him; so that by
aud by He will come and take us home
to dwell with Him; there all the
crooked shall he made straight, my
precious boy." "Oh. how lovely," ex
claimed the little lad.

Joining the Salvation Army.
Mary B. would like very much to
join the Salvation Army, but her fam
ily and friends oppose her so violent
ly that she has not the courage to take
the step. She knows that her whole
heart and soul are absorbed in their
work and feels that there Is no field
in which she could he so useful to the
world and so satisfactory to herself.
It is almost a matter of conscience
with lier, but she has been brought up
to the habits of the strictly obedience
to her parents. She is only twenty
years of agd and some of her people
advise her to wait a year cr no and

rtliy h Home Hate. a Camel.
Ani.nals hive their' likes and dis
likes as well as men, and they are
quite as hard to explain. A' cat nat
urally dislikes and fears a dog. The
elephant hates mice and dogs.' Horses
loathe camels, and will not stay In the
same block with them if they can help
It. It is hard to give a cause for these |
aversions. Why should the horse dis
like the harmless camel and be fond
of the dog? It must be that the horse
has a dormant sense of beauty and of
humor. The ideal of the horse Is
grace, combined with strength. He
disapproves from the bottom of hia na
ture of the hopelessly vulgar, awkward
and unesthetlcal camel. The bear, he
sees at once, though clumsy, is unpre- '
tentious, truthful and not devoid of a ,
sense of humor. The dog ho recog- I
nlzes as a good fellow, companionable
and unselfish. A strong bond between
the dog and the horse is that they are .
both fond of sport, whereas a camel
would not go an inch to see the best
race that was ever run.
Sport on the Ice.
One of the most exciting of winter
sports is the sled merry-go-round. It
is built very much like an ordinary
boy's whirligig, only it is placed on
the ice. And for genuine fun it cannot
be equaled.
Any boy can make a sled merry-go
round. All the material necessary is a
stout post, long enough to reach
through the ice and find a secure rest
ing place in the mud or sand in the
bottom of the pond. It should reach
about three feet above the surface.
When it is put in place a hole may be
cut in the ice Just large enougn to ad
mit it, and a heavy mallet will drive
it Into place in the bottom of the pond.
If it is left over night the water will
freeze close around it and hold it solid.
In the top of the post a large, round
bolt or spike should be driven. The
whirligig part of the merry-go-round
is a long plank cr scantling with a
hole in the middle just large enough,
to fit over the bolt or spike. When
this is in place the merry-go-round is
complete. Before it is used, however,
it is well to grease the top of the post
and bolt so that the plank will slip
around easily.
Any number of exciting games may
be played with the sled merry-go
round. Perhaps the best of these is
the sled contest. Two stout sleds are
attached to the ends of the plank by
long ropes. A boy sits on each of
them. Then half a dozen other boys
stand near the post and set the plank
to turning, exactly as in a whirlgig.
Of course the sleds travel at exhilarat
ing speed, swinging out at the ends of
the ropes and slipping and sliding over
the smooth ice faster and faster, until
the rider rolls off like the end boy in
cracking the whip. The boy who can
stick to his sled longest is the winner
of the game.
Another exciting game is played
without sleds. Skaters take hold of
the ropes, and see how long they can
hold on after the merry-go-round is
WHIRLIGIG SKATING.
started. And sometimes, when they
go, they aro whirled rods away across .
the ice.
Any boy who is getting up a skating
rink for the winter should not fail to
have a sled merry-go-round as one of
its attractions.
Seven-Year-Old Hero.
New York Telegram: Monday sev
en-year-old Abraham Eckerson of
Guttenburg, N. J., was playing soldier
with his five little brothers and sis
ters in the kitchen, when they were
suddenly confronted by seventeen
writhing, hissing copperhead snakes.
The largest, three feet long, led the ,
rest, and was making toward the
children when the boy saw it. He also
saw the danger of his companions
and screamed at them to run out ol
the room. They were so frightened
that they could scarcely move hand or
foot. Abraham drew hi 3 wooden
sword from his belt, and, jumping in j
the front of the rest, struck the big
copperhead a stinging blow. It recoil
ed, bleeding. He then advanced on
the enemy and felled three more of the
snakes that seemed ready to spring at
the children. The whole body of
snakes retreated as Abraham wielded
his weapon. In the meantime his com- |
panlons were screaming as loud as
they #ould. Their cries brought in
Mrs. Eckerson, armed with a poker
and a powerful dog. Rex. While the
Newfoundland dog jumped and gnaw- |
ed at the wriggling mass Mrs. Ecker
son thrust the children from the room. 1
She then returned and killed the rep- j
tiles that still showed life. When the '
good work was over Mrs. Eckerson
fainted from fright and excitement
The snakes are supposed to have been
thawed out of a fog which had just
been hauled from the woods and plac
ed beside the fire.

"But said the proprietor, "you are a

"If a friend came to see 11s." was the
; immediate reply, "we might want an
other bed for him."

Shark Carries a Message I-ive Yearn.
While strolling along the shore of the
Delaware Bay. near Fishing Creek. N.
1., five years ago. Miss Beulah Bate and
three young women companion** wrote
their names and addresses on four slip*
of paper, sealed them in as many hurt
; ties, and cast them far out into the bay.
For days and weeks they watched and
waited for tidings of the bottles, but
none came, and they had almost forgot -
1 ten the Incident.
A day or two ago Miss Bate received
j 1 long letter from the captain of an
• Hnglish man-of-war. stating that while
•ousting along the coast of Kuglnod
>ne of the seamen fell over lion rd and
• narrowly escaped being devoured by a,
huge shark. After hauling the man
I ilxmnl, the sailors secured the shark,
and found in its stomach the bottle
containing Miss Bate's message. Miss
Bate Is now n student at. the Stat©
Normal school in Trenton, and has lie-
I c-ome quite a heroine among the more
romantic of her classmates. Philadel

Alphabet on a Pin Head.
Frank .1. Mollenhauer is perhaps the
most expert engraver in New York, if
I not in the world. In delicacy of touch
! and skill In handling delicate instru
j nients ills work Is something marvel
j ous.
His latest achievement was to en
grave the twenty-six letters of the ai
phabot on the head of a pin. Under a
magnifying glass the letters are clear
1 and distinct, and each is as perfect as
1 any ever engraved for a visiting card
or wedding invitation. But with the
naked eye the minute letters are mere
ly scratches which have no discernible
form.
Moll en halter's work was the result of
an attempt to beat the work of a man
who bud engraved the Lord's Prayer on
a".-cent piece. Now York Journal.
The Fancy Work Girl.
I "Where have you been lately?" asked

"Do you mean to fell inc." said the
