Some of the Interesting Features of Mack- erel Fishing In Old New England. Catching mackerel was the poetry of ; fishing. Ordinarily there was gnly dan- ger enough to give zest to it? prosecu- tion, while the rivalry between vessels and even between differeng individuals of a crew had all the elements of sport. Each cove had its clipper that could outstrip others, at feast in the opinion of its local champions, and each of the larger ports usually had several claim- ants to the honor of being the swiftest of the fleet. The fame of the more not- ed of these spread from end to end of the coast. The names of swift fishing schooners became household words among the seafarers, and at many a fireside and grocery from Eastport to New London discussions of their re- spective merits divided attention with tales of big catches of fish. Evidently there was a pride in the vessels and a reliance upon the indus- try, and though the returns sometimes failed to meet expectations—for the sea harvest is an uncertain one at best— reasonable prosperity prevailed, and there were happy and contented homes along the shores of the northeastern states, where in many cases fishermen spent their winters with their families, and some even deferred going to sea in spring until after ‘‘the planting was in.” Then these farmer-fishermen devoted the remainder of the season to the sea, leaving the “gardening at home” to be attended to by the ‘“‘women folks” or by boys too young to pull an oar or haul a line.—Joseph William Collins in Har- per’s hlagazine. Wrestling With English. English speaking people are wont to think that other languages are much more difficult to pronounce than their own. Particularly is this true with re- gard to the vowel sounds of the lan- guages, and, perhaps, more so with regard to the German yowels than to others. This is not the only truth, however, and others find as much difficulty in pronouncing correctly the 29 different vowel sounds in the English language. This was somewhat ludicrously illus- trated in the German department of the university recently. Fraulein Sehoen, instructor in Ger- man at the university, had not very long ago the name of Harry Hare, a well known young man on the east side, on the class roll. The fraulein was accustomed in calling the roll to address all the gentlemen in the class as Herr So-and-so. One morning Mr. Hare was absent from/recitation, and when the fraulein came to his name she called out: “Herr Harry Hare!” No one responded. “Herr Harry Hare!” again called Fraulein Schoen, while the class, no- ticing the alliteration, began to smile. “Is Herr Harry Hare here?’ queried the teacher, and this time the class roared. Any one who doesn'g think it was funny should try to reed this tale out loud, and then tmagine that he wasn’t to the manner born.—Minneapolis Trib- une. As a Frenehman Sees Us. One moment you are tumbled through streets full of ruts and holes, the next moment you are ushered into the seclu- sion of as luxuriously appointed a hotel as is to be found in the wide world. In the morning you spend half an hour in a torture chamber, shot along on an endless chain and filled with tumbling human beings. In the evening you dine off geld plate and drink out of crystal vessels. As you walk up the stroets you are accosted by a shivering, ragged, hollow cheeked mortal, who claims that he has no place to sleep and has had nothing to eat. In another mo-— ment you are in a palace, and from scores of boxes women lean forth, with the. price of thousands of good dinners — on their arms, shoulders and in their hair. At several of the public balls, one of which I attended for an hour or two, . women appeared in costumes and be- haved in a manner that made my youth- | ful memories of the Mabille seem som- ber and saltless. So far as my own ex- perience goes, it has seemed to me that much of the immorality here among the upper classes is rather mentai than physical. The intercourse between men and women is very free, or so it ap- peared to me, but the worst feature of it is the stories and slanders that they themselves circulate about one another. Acertain unconscious hypocrisy is prev- alent among the people of all classes.— “America and Americans From a French Point of View.” ; Some nice petterns in flies received by mail at the Central Drug Store.

CONNOLLY’S WHARF €2 HORTHAND CONFIDENCES. Two Stenographers Exchange Stories aa to the Blunders They Have Made, They were both old time stenographers, employed somewhere by the week, but the consciousness of being able at will to pro- duce pages of hen’s tracks which only they could decipher—and sometimes even they failed to do so—invested them with a feel- ing ef intense superiority to the rest of mankind. But this normal feeling was for the mo- ment usurped by one of humility, as they sat on the sofa, the light turned gently down, and the soft radiance of the flicker- ing jet in the street alone illuminating the apartment. It was an hour for confession, and he paved the way by saying: ‘*The first job] ever struck I lost through carelessness. My enployer dictated a letter toaclent asking him to meet him ata hotel called the Seven Ravens. I wrote it out the Seven Elephants.’’ ‘“‘A wholesale chemist was my first em- ployer,’’ she murmured. ‘‘He used to keep a diary. One day he dictated to me the fateful words: ‘Bought a carload of sulphuric acid. Quite a good day's busi- ness.’ ’’ ‘‘How did ‘you transcribe it?’ he in- quired eagerly, for he had registered a vow in his inmost soul thas he would never marry a perfect idiot. “IT didn’t get it quite right. ‘Bought a earboy of sulphuric acid. Good God! It’s poisonous.’ ’’ He moved a little way from her, but re- membered his own early struggles and edged back again. **Dearest,’’ he whispered, ‘‘do you re- member tle convention which nominated Garfield?’’ She thought he was trying to find out how old she was, but curiosity got the bet- ter of discretion and she confessed to a dim memory of that occasion. ‘*l was hired then to report the speeches. A New Yorker got up and said the dissen- sions, among their opponents were very timély, for they bade fair to create a break in the ranks of the Democratic party.’’ ‘‘Oh, tell me,’’ cried the fair girl, with a@ sudden accession of interest, ‘Show did you get it?’’ His head fell on his breast. “*ITeannot. I dare not teil you."’ Rising, she turned the lamp down still lower. ‘‘This man said the dissensions among their opponents bade fair to create a break in the ranks of the Democratic party?’’ ‘‘He did! And I transcribed it ‘pants of the Democratic party,’ and what is more, it was printed in the papers that way the very next morning.’’—Chicago Dispatch. THE SHEEP OCF LEBANON. Fattecs2 Like the Geese of Strassburg. Harry Fenn, the artist, has written for St. Nicholas an account of his visit to the famous cedars of Lebanon, which place is also noted for its silk. Mr. Fenn says: Wherever a handful of carth can be made to rest upon a ledge, there a mulberry plant grows. Itis a picturesque and thrill- ing sight to see a boy lowered by a rope over the precipice, carrying a big basket of earth and euttings of mulberry twigs to plant in his hanging garden. The crop of leaves, fodder for the worms, is gathered in the same way. dy such patient and dangerous industry bave these hardy mountaineers been able to make their wil- derness of rock blossom into brightly col- ored silks. Not a single leaf is left on the trees by the time the voracious worms get ready to spin their cocoons, but a second crop comes on later, and a curious use is made of that. The tree owner purchases one of those queer big tailed Syrian sheep, the tail of which weighs 20 pounds when at the full maturity of ite fatness, and then a strange stuffing process beigns, not unlike the fat- tening of the Strassburg geese. When the sheep can eat no more, the women of the They Are Famoas house feed it, and it is nouncommon sight . to see a Woman going out to make an aft- -ernoon eall ‘leading her sheep by a string and carrying » basket of mulberry leaves on her arm. Havingarrived at her friend’s house, she squats on the ground, rolls a ball of mulberry leaves in her right hand and slips it into the sheep’s mouth, then works the sheep’s jaw up and down with the other hand till she thinks the mouth- ful has been chewed enough, when she thrusts itdown the throat of the unfor- tunate animal. The funny part of the business is that probably half a dozen gos- sips of the village are seated around the yard, all engaged at the same operation. Of course the sheep get immensely fat, and that is the object; for at the killing time the fat is tried out and put into jarsas meat for the winter.
