The Peril OF Winter Fishing.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin pro-
nounces the great loss of fishing vessels
during the past season "a horror OF the
sea even greater than the wreck of the
City of Columbus and says there is
"no need of the annual sacrifice of life
and property which is now made.n II
furthermore declares that ait is more
hazardous to engage in Georges Banks
fishing than to work in powder-mill." p"
The high rank of the Bulletin as .
commercial newspaper gives much
weight to its words on this sub
ject, and the remedy it proposes de-
serves earnest consideration. 1t is bet
ter to "aboiish winter fishing on
Georges" than to have yearly loss OF
more than one hundred lives, but it sug.
gests that the use of deeper vessels with
an improved outfit would remove much
of the peril CT the industry. The city OF
Gloucester is chiefly interested in the
winter-fishing, and of its fleet sent out
in 1888 seventeen vessels and two hun.
drcd and nine fishermen never came
back. The record for 1884 NAV
be still more terrible, for already two
vessels are known TO be lost and seven
more are supposed to be.
The Newfoundland seal industry is
said to be the greatest and most profit.
able ocean fishery in the world, but the
introduction of steam-vessels for fishing
gives especial interest to the inquiry
whether winter-fishing is necessarily sc
perilous that it ought to be prohibited,
for it is thought that steam-fshine
smacks will be extensively used to take
cod in the winter months. Steam
smacSs can also be advantageously
used for rmackerel-fshing, cat hing more
fish and taking them TO market much
more rapidly than sail-vessels. At pres
ent much OF the fish eaten in winter l.
taken from the water in the fall and
kept on ice until it passes from the mar
kct. Tie demand for fish fresh from the
sea is increasing so fast that general in
teFest attaches to the discussion of the
methods by which the perils of winter
fishing can be reduccd.-M y. Mail ana

Embroidered Muslin,

Muslins of a solid color are imported
in robe patterns that have a deep flOunce
and narrow garn'ture of embroidery
done in many colors in cross stitches
and in tapestry designs. These come
in ecru, cream, rose pink and pale blue,
and will make gay and youthful sum-
mer dresses. For white dresses there
are French nainsooks wrought all over
with sprigs, daisies, rose-buds or lilies,
10 be used as over-drcsses or rs the skirt
fronts of plain muslins. These are in
thick designs like those cf necdle-work,
but there are also many of the open
worked Hamburg goods that are 10 be
used for yokes, sleeves and front
breadths of the white India linens.
Bands of insertion and scalloped en-
broider:es for trimming are in new de-
signs that have the effect of appliqle
work, as they are made to stand ouI in
relief from the surface, and represent
dragons, lizards, flowers, animals, biuls
and insects. Melted meshes, like those
of lace, are placed inside outlines of
these figures and enhance the appear
ance of applied-work. The Fayai ue-
signs are in durable openwork for piqnes
and for satteens, and other patterns
have small eyelets that look ike per-
lorated cardboard, in preference to the
more snowy large wheels, stars and lat
ticed ilgures of Hamburg designs. The
irish point patterns are again imported
in cream white Dainsooks, and will be
used rs transparents over dark satin or
velvet for trimming cashmere dresses
and the Louisines and India silks. Mos
cow embroideries in designs of many
loops, like tatting, will be used for
trimming children's white dresses OF
muslius. and also their ght colored
cashmere dresses.-Harper's BGzdr.

Some Famous Fat Men.

History repeats itself; even in the oc-
cas- 'onal decease of gentlemen of such
corpulence that serious difficulties arise
about their intermcnt. The respectable
person, weighing thirty stone. who was
buried in Shifnal, in Shropshire, last
week, and whose coffin il took ten men
to lift, had his peer in Mr.. William
Lewis, Welsh Squire of the last cent.
ury, who departed this life at Beau

in the act of raising quart pot of ale
to his lips. Mr. Lewis was reckoned 10

calculated that in the course of his ex-
istence he had imbibed quantity OF

removed and again set up in the church

Bells were also fastened to the point Of

another old nursery rhyme, made, no
doubt, about the same time:
