EnuIish HERRING Fishery.


The herring fishery-as studied from
the deck of yacht on one of the fine
mornings when the " fisher is out on the
sunny sea lis extremely pleasant. Nor
can anything be more charming than
the lines of boats which shoot out of the
indentatious on the wild coast as the sun
is sinking beyond the moors, where the
last grouse has been slain for the day,
and the peaty odor proclaius that the
gillie, like his master, is enjoying his
Otiun1 cuna-something more nutritive.
Even for the guests on board one of the
boats there is amusement and genuine
excitement of the spo1tsmanIike order to
be obtained from witnessing the opera
tons of casting and drawing the nets in
which so much gold and happiness is
every night lifted out of the deep. The
adventurer nice as to his supper had,
however, better stay ashore,
since the comestibles of a Wick fishing
boat are usually limited to a loaf of
bread, bag of "hard tack, ," and key
of water not always innocent of the an
cient fsh-like smell which pervades
every corner of the craft. The boat is
unmoored, and pulled with great oars
into the tideway, the brown stretch of
weather beaten canvas is spread to the
breeze, and away go the six seafarers
into the east. Soon the shore with it's
sparkling lights disappears, and by and
by the herring hunters are alone with the
stars and the "merry moon," which &C
cording to the song of Elspeth Muckle-
backIt, is loved of the fsher-fOlks, quarry.
The waves around are dotted with SHIFT
ing CLEANS as the boats, rocked by wind
and the rolling swell, toss their lights to
and fro. But in an hour or two these
CLEANS are scattered further apart as the
little feet goes further and further out
"ground." There are phosphorescent
lights on the crest of every bIllow, and
then the nets are shot, for to the exper-
fenced skipper this is the sign that his
prey is sweeping through the water,
This done, the crew may spin yarns, eat
their frugal supper, or sleep as best they
can until day dawns. But at last comes
the time for hauling in the nets, and
with a heart light or heavy, according as
their luck has been good, or they have
toiled all night and caught nothing
making for the shore lined with eager
walters on their fortune. This is the
ight-some side of the fishers side. The
sadder aspect of it is that which is at
this moment witnessed-as it has been
witnessed hundred times before in a
score of little northern ports. Forum
ate will be the fifty missing boats if they
have only had to cut their costly nets
adrift and run for life to land. But it IS
possible that this is not the worst, and
the next few days may bring us the
news that not only the nets, but boats
and fishermen have persisted in the
storm.

Prophetic Words.
LFrom the St. James's Gazette. ]

Years ago the elder Dumas thus eIo-
quently postrophised the memory OF
the unfortunate Due de Berry. "Be-
hold, prince" he wrote, the lot of the
men who during the last sixty years
have handled, or have aspired to handle
the fateful crown of France. Louis
XVI. died on the scaffold, Napoleon
died at st. Helena, the Due de Reich,
stadt died at Sch9nbrunn, Charles x,
died at Prague, and Louis Philippe died
at Claremont. Who can say, prince,
how the Comte de Paris or your son, the
Prince de Chambord will die? One
thing, however, we do know, prince:
and that is that none of your race will
die at the TuilIeries and be laid like q
king in the tomb of his ancestors. y
Since those words were written Napo-
leon III. has died in exile at Chiselhurst,
and his gallant son has persisted in
Zululand; and now the melancholy roll
is again opened for the name of the
Comte de Chambord to be added to the
long list of French princes who during
the last hundred years have closed their
eyes in exile and adversely.

A Witchcraft Case.
storm.

The Scranton witchcraft case is a
strange development IN these days. A
so-called witch doctor figures in it, hav-
ing been called to attend the daughter
of a Mrs. Kochert, who was wasting in
illness. The learned man decided that
witches had been taking away the child's
rest, and prescribed a strip of paper for
her breast to keep them aloof, taking
care to have no knot in the paper; a
brier stick, with which to beat the era
die, after having dried one leaf of the
brier on the stove; and bits of paper
covered with molasses. to be taken in
ternany. But necessarily whipping the
cradle did not yield sleep to the poor
little victim, and she had no appetite for
molasses; so that she died. The neigh
bors of Mrs. Kochert agreed That the
child had persisted from being be-
witched, and the case became public be-
cause a Mrs. Snyder, who was accused
of being the witch, sued the sorrowing
mother for the accusation. The evidence
before the justice showed belief in
witchcraft among several of the witness
es. Fortunately these are not the days
of burning witches at the stake; but
how much does there still remain of the
superstition of two centuries ago?

Hollow Cheeks

A pale, fabby skin and limbs i'll clothed with
flesh, indicate poverty of the blood. The speediest
and surest way to increase its nutrifying properties,
to impart vigor and compensate for undue waste of
bodily tissue, is to use, with persistence and regu
larity, the Incompatible vitazer and aid to diges-
ton, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. A wineglassful
of this agreeable medicinal elixir three times day
soon manifests its benefcent action in improve
ment Of appetite, sleep and spirits, increased
bodily substance, and the return of color and
roundness to haggard wasted cheeks. This SUI
preme preventive counteracts the effects of severe
mental labor and bodily toll, anxiety of mind, ex-
posure in rough weather, miasma in air or water,
and tropical heat. It is reliable safeguard against
fever and ague and remittent febrile disease, and
overcomss constipation, indigestion, liver complaint,
rheumatism and other ailments.

The Last Census of Japan.

A Snake with Two Feet.
From the New York Times

ltrom the New YORK Times
Mr.. Richard Decker, resident of
Waikiki Valley, in Ulster County, while
working in his oatfeld recently, was
surprised by black snake which came
at him with open mouth, his head ele-
waited from the ground IL or IA inches.
He succeeded in killing it with his pitch
fork, aud in measurement found it to be
5 feet 7 inches in length, with diam
eter of an inch and half at the largest
part. The extraordinary feature Of the
creature, however, was the presence of
two we'll formed legs with feet attached
to the body at q point about fifteen
inches from its tail. The legs were of q
light pink or flesh color, without bone,
and SO elastic that when drawn to their
full length and suddenly released they
would spring back to their normal posi-
ton at the reptiles side. The feet were
about the size of hazel-nut and were
hoof- like in appearance and of darker
color than the limbs to which they were
attached. Upon each one of these feet
or hoofs were 90 small claws, white and
of horny substance. The body of the
snake, with the legs attached, was seen
by most Of the inhabitants of the village
before it was put into alcohol and for
warded to the National Museum at Wash

Wouldn't be Satisfied,

[From the Boston Post.J
A man in Judge Geddes' district in
Ohio was in the habit of visiting a neigh
boring town and getting drunk. One
night on his return home, with several
sheets in the wind, he approached his
house, saw no light, and suspected that
his wife had gone to bed. ''Now, Mary
has gone to bed, he said, land hasn't
anything for me to eat. I'll make it
warm for her." But in moment he saw
a light, and then said: "I'Il be blessed
if the extravaganza thing isn't sitting up
till this hour OF night burning out my
oil. Now, durn me if I don't make it
hot for her."
