How They Make "Cod-Oil" at Swamp

The Edinburgh Nedicai Jou,mal, Feb
ruary, 1883, thus describes one of the i'm
portant though un>avory interests of
neighhoring watering place Swampscott i
a little town upon the coast Of Massachusetts,
not far from Lynn situated near the head Of
bay between Nahant and Salem. OFF this
ancient haunt Of fishermen, at distance Of
about nine miles, is a place called the
..rocks,' where, in the winter. the goldfish
come in shoals to spawn, and tho striped
bass sport themselves in the summer.
During the winter months, be the weather

and there at houses, rousng the fishermen,
who by and by gather in groups about the
shore. each with his "dory,' that well-known
model of Yankee ingenuity which at the
great Berlin fishery exhibition excited 50
much attention. The dories and their own

in waiting, and By A. NJ. the fleet is at the

The First Woman in Carbonate.
From The Denver News.

1t would have been interesting to the
reader to witness the electrifying effect on
the men in the camp when word was passed
along the line that a woman was coming.
Long before she was within mile of the
camp knots of men were gathered here and
there watching, looking IN the direction from
whence the wagon was to come. As she
hove in sight, each one gathered around his
or their camp as when an alarm had been
sounded in a prarie-dog town. When with
in few yards Of the outside habltatlon the
woman alighted and, accompanied by her
husband, proceeded toward the county clerks
office. ut had been advertised that the do
nation of a town lot would be given the first
woman who came in.) Curious eyes were
watching her every step as she approached
the clerks quarters. But the crowd which
had gathered around the office for mail re-
ceded respectfully each side of the entrance.
As she passed in Colonel Ferguson serenely
loomed up, and, sailing out among the

Seized by the inspiration, hundred hats
were removed from heads of noble structure
and design, siluriated somewhat, perhaps,
and hundred horny palms passed over the

selected to make the reception speech. In
easily pluming his mustache with carbonate
stained fingers, the Colonel approached her
and, followed by the uncovered heads, he IN
advertently yanked frog from his throa
