OF the fish with which the Norfolk wa.
ters are teeming, 50 much can be said that
1t is difficult to select that which. must ro

The Dream deserves first mention. because
OF ITS enormous numbers. II Is eyery-
where, and attains to a large size. -Four

weights, and one Of eleven pounds was re-
Gently caught. The Norfolk bream-fisher
Is sai generis. You generally see them
Two IN boat which is moored parallel
with the stream, each man with an aprsn
and cloth. The Dream Is covered Win
such thick slime that, were it not for
these precautions, the anglers clothes
would be irretrievably ruined. Handful
OF brewers grains are thrown in from time
to time as ground-bait, and every swim
produces bite, so that at the end of a
good day there may be from five TO eiobt
stone weight Of Dream and roach n the
boat. The artisan classes Of Norwich ars
great beam and roach fishers, and fire..
quently have fishing eontests--venerally
under the patronage Of Saint Monday. On
such noisy aud festive occasions, however.
the sport is generally comparatively poor.
The Dream is not very toothsome 6sb ID
eat, but large quantities are sold bv the
professional fishermen TO the poorer Jews
IN our large towns for use on fast days az
course, at very cheap rate, and many
bushels are sold to the fishermen on The
coast Tor use as bait. OF the large ouan.
titles caught by the angler, few are eaten.
Alter the catch is weighed, 1t is cast away
and one often sees rottiug heaps Of iish on
the banks. Tons have been used al mo
nure, but these were the produce Of an in
famous system Of poaching which prevail
ed before the passing of the Norfolk and
Suffolk Fresh-water Fisheries act in 1877
The poachers dragged the rivers with
small meshed nets, and even trawled them
up Just as is done at sea, and as many as
eight tons of fish would be the produce Of
a days or nights netting. When tho
price obtained from these would not pay
Tor the carriage, they were simply thrown
away Now, however, there are reeuIa-
tlons as to netting which have put stop
to this, and the fisheries arc fast becoming
Il
better than they have been for long time
There Is no restriction against rod fishing
at any time Of the year in the free waters
which comprise the three rivers WrOrham,
Oulton, Fritton and 0rmesby Broads, and
Brevdon Water. The roach almost EQUALS
the Dream in point of numbers, aud Il
caught of q uniform large size. The rudd
or rOud, as it is generally called in Nor.
folk, is very abundant, more particularly
in the Breads. 1t is brilliant colored
active fish, and will rise at the iiy. 50 that

experience. The carp is not common, but
grows to large size Mr.. Lubbock men

are numerous and large. Five-pounders
are frequently taken, and on the Wayeney
barber of Beccles took, in short space

Tho Boys,

Boys, do you know what you are doing
You laugh because you are not caught in
your devilment. You slipaway from loved
ones at home, and drink beer and smoke
cigars until you are as dizzy as new
sailor, and as drunk as a sot, aud manner
less as cow you think this smart. Call
your parents ''old man and sold woman. /"
You laugh at their ignorance Of your
whereabouts; you slip around places Of bad
character, and revel in vulgar associations.
until your department tells you you are a
"gouer and not likely to stop this side of
the devils domain. You say you never
drink, but your associations, your deport-
mcnt and your breath dispute your words,
You think you can hide your faults, but
you are SO deceived by drink that you are
not capable Of seeing yourselves as Others
see you. You are Just starting on the
road that terminates only in death eternal.
The gloom and dependency of endless woe
surrounds you, but your eyes are blinded
and you see not, You are surrounded by
the fiery fends that are fnally to torment
you even beyond imagination, but your
eyes are closed to them. The sound of
fast approaching wrath from the great and
agengeiul Jehovah, are pcaling the deaf
sning thunder of wrath from the pit of
ruined and lost hopes, arc shaking the
earth, and the volcanic erGptious Of hell's
awful pit are pouring lava just before you;
4 Il IS rapidly surrounding you on every side,
It's venomous smoke Is covering you, the
demon has deprived you of sight and hear
ing, aud you are yourself no more, but his
willing subject Stopl Let not another
temptation overcome you, lest you fall to
rise no more.

Keep Dwellings Dry.

A warm and dry atmosphere is not un-
wholesome, but when cloudy or rainy
weather brings sultry air which dampens
everything around US, the atmosphere may
be loaded with the germs Of disease, aud
hre is needed to destroy them. The walls,
the ceilings and floors Of apartments should
never be allowed to become damp. Some
times when the warmth Of the air is op-
pressiye, fire Is more necessary 10 protect
Us than in the cold of winter; and the
rooms of a dwelling should never be left
without tho means Of warming and drying,
Investigations have shown that many Of
the most fatal diseases are caused by the
germs Of vegetable and animal life, and
that humid atmosphere is most favorable
for their propagation. It is, therefore,
neglecting to avail ourselves Of the great
discoveries Of the age, and failing to pro-
teet ourselves from scourges which so
fearfully afiliet families, when we ignore
the dangers which surround us. Apart
ments exposed to the full action of the SUI
may be less comfortable ia hot weather
than those from which the suns rays are
excluded, but they are more wholesome.
and when contagious diseases prevail IN
closely built cities il is found that inmates
Of houses on that side Of the street exposed
to the sun arc less liable to be attacked
while the greatest number Of sick are al.
ways found where there is the least ex-
posed to the great disinfector--ihe sun.

The Power OF CYoLoNE.-ProE T.
y. Maury, in PdpuIar Science Monthly
for January, says In discussing the two
cyclones which visited the Bay of Bengal
in October, 1876, Mr.. Elliott, Meteoro-
logical Reporter to the Government of
Bengal, incidentally gives US some idea of
the cyclopean forces which are developed
BY such storms. The average "daily evap-
oration" registered by the Bengal instru-
ments, in October, Is ".2 inches The
amount of heat absorbed by the conversion
OF this amount Of water daily over so large
an area as the Bay Of Bengal is enormous.
"Roughly estimated" says Mr.. Elliott, "it
Is equal to the continuous working power
of 100000 steam engines Of 1000 horse
power" A simple calculation win show
that Il suffices to raise aloft over As, 900
cubic feet Of water in twenty -four hours
from erery square mile Of the bosom Of tho
bay, and transport II to the clouds which
overhaug it. When VIC extend the calcu-
lation from a single square mile TO the
area Of this whole Indian gulf, the mind
is lost 10 the effort to conceive the force
which, in days time, can lift $4,000, 900
tons Yet II would be easy TO show that
such figures, fabulous as they seem, do not
represent the cyelonic forces
Of a single storm,
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1880-01-03

SOMETHING TO REsIEMBER.-Here is
good rule for conversation with others.
Never tell person anything concerning
himself nor report to him anything which
others have said tf him, or Of his doings
or possessions, which you think viii not
give him pleasure There Is, Of course,
an exception to this rule when you feel il
an imperative duty to state an unpleasant
truth to another for his substantial good;
but 10 that case you ought to approach the
subject so cautiously, and speak of it SO
tenderly, as to show him beyond question,
that it is positively pain to you to be a
cause OF his discomfort. Never call il
frankncss, never look upon il as play-
iul way of speaking, for you to blurt out
to him your own opinion or other peoples
opinions which are likely to lessen his en-
joyment in the thought Of what he Is, or
Of what he has, or Of what he has done.
There is great deal Of cruel unkindness
in this line on the part Of those who would
never dream that they could properly be
called cruelty unkind.
