Leeches.

Leeches abound in large numbers in marshes
in France, Sweden, and Hungary The
head fisher, with his legs and arms naked.
walks along the borders of marsh, and as
he moves among the pools the leeches attach
themselves to his legs and feet. Their pres
ence is indicated by their bite, which he feels.
and he raises his legs and picks the Ieeches
off. Some are found about the roots of sea-
weed, and beneath the moss covered shores
and in the mud, while Others swim about in
The shallow, muddy water, but SO slowly
they are easily gathered with the hand. Toe
leecher carries a little bag on his shoulder.
in which he deposits the leeches as fast as he
catches them. In the spring the leech-fisher
sometimes has a kind OF spear or harpoon.
with Thcb he places pieces CT decayed ap,-
NAL matter in the localities frequented by the
leeches, which soon gather arould the halt
and are collected in little vessel half full of
water. In the summer, howe ,e,, they retire
into deeper water. The fishers then have
to strip and walk in the water up to The chin.
some OF them have little RATS to go upon,
made OF twigs and rushes. but is Is diffculf to
propel them among the weeds and aquatic
plants. At this season the supply IN the
pools is scanty: the fisher can only take the
lew that swim Within his reach, or those
that cot entanrled in the structure of his
raff The business is a horrible one. The
leecb oatherer Is constantly in the water,
hreaibins the noxious air OF the malsAes,
and expo sed to attacks OF ague, rheumatism,
SC His sdukeu eyes, hollow cheeks. livid
lips, and wce-begone aspect give him the ap-
pearance Of a patient just from the sick bed.
rhe lsech fishery gives employment to many
hands, and, although prrncious, Is lucrative.
They are exported in great quantities, and
are able to be r hard usage. The trader buys
his leeches pele mele, but he afterwards sorts
them for market. Those generally accounted
the best are the Swedish leeches.
