allied to the anchovy. Tho fishermen start at
the early dawn in their unlocked, two-masted
boats, and spread ont their nets, which are
or cork.
tached to one side of the net, IT floats IN the
water like lady'e veil, and remains near the
handfuls of Gods roe, which temple the fish
from the bottom, and while Selling the bait
their heads become fastened in the meshes OF
the net, and transfxed at the gills. When the
numbers arc such that the net sinks beneath
the surface then the fisherman secures bis
spoil and commences the same Work again

SHAKING Hands.-To present the left hand for
the purpose Of friendly greeting is piece OF
discourtesy, sometimes Intentional ON the part |
of spperiors in rank to their Interiors, and An
act that no true gentleman will commit. There |
| is no reason why it should be considered more
discourteous than to kiss the left cheek instead
of the right; bnt, doubtless, the custom st, that
| makes the right hand imperative in all sincere
| salutation dates from those early times when
Misunderstanding first began, and the hand that
shook or was shaken in friendship was OF ne.
| cessity weaponless The poor left hand, that
one would think ought to be of as much value
and strength the right, just rs the left foot
or leg is strong as the right foot or leg, pc
cause they are both nsed equally, has fallen
| into disrepute well as cosnparative disuse,

which, if unintentional and thoughtiess, re-
quires an apology for the hurry or inadvertence

be an occult remnant of the old notion that
the glove might. conceal WEAPON, Hence nee
hand should be naked as proof OF good faith.
TO refuse pointedly to shake hands with one
who offers you ths oppo1'snnity in friendly
And after quarrel or act OF open hostihty,
the acceptance of the hand offered is alike the
sign and ratification of peace-4H the Year
