Starving Fishermen.

The German fishermen in the Baltic,
who slbsist solely from their fisheries,
have had narrow escape from starva-
ton, owing to an imperial fishery law
recently passed prohibiting fishing du-
ring spawning time. One day dele
cation headed by gigantic fisherman
from lear Dantzic, arrived at the pal
ace Ofthe crown prince in Berlin and
requehed an audience. The spokes-
man appealed to the crown prince as
the protector of the German Fishery
union. and asked for his Intervention.
The crown prince inquired of him if
they had applied to the provincial gov
ernor 1T Koenigsburg, who was known
to be most amiable man. "That fell
low, replied the spokesman, "cannot
distinguish day from night. He simply
told w law is law. He takes his roast
meat ,very day and smokes his Havana
cigar lfter dinner. But when we go
without fishing, even for single day.
we have nothing to eat" And he went
on to describe. in his patois, the condi-
ton his colleagues who sent him,
saying, among other things, that there
was gowing on the pebbly shore as
little ,s there was on the floor of the
princ's room; that he was considered
rich nan because he was able to keep
COW that the gales along the coast
too oten prevented them from going to
sea, md that, therefore, the fish were
disturbed little enough, etc. The crown
prime, promised to intercede for them,
and emily limited that the audience
was a an end, but his herculean inter-
locutr coolly went on: ''Your imperial
highIess, l cannot leave without some
writtn promise to that effect. We are
poor ok and have been barely able to
scrath money together for the long
Journey. / shouldn't dare to go back
without line or two, lest those who
sent ne would not believe l had seen
you. The crown prince smiled, wrote
shrt note, caused telegram to be
sent 10 Koenigsburg, and gave orders
that he men should be well treated
and td and their return journey paid

was 10 modified as to exempt the fish
erme1 of the Kurian Nehrung from its
STRINGENT provisions. The fish there
haveno specified spawning time set
asidefor them; on the other hand, no
tishemen in that section were allowed
to strive, owing to the resolute action

MiChael'S Midnight Call,

In wee sma' and very dark hours of
Saturday morning Mr.. Blanks front
door bell rang violently. The worthy
citizen went at once to the door, where
he found his man Michael in troubled
state of mind. Michael said that he
had that night been blessed with an ad-
dition to his family; that the doctor
called in attendance had demanded i'm
mediate payment for his services. Hav-
ing no money in the house, he had
called upon Mr.. Blank to borrow some.
Michael Immediately received what he
wanted, and, with profuse apologies for
calling at such an unreasonable hour,
departed. The next morning, Mr..
Blanks daughters, who had heard the
bell ring, asked who it was that called
so late, and they were informed of the
circumstances. 'Poor little thingr

A Chinese Baby in Boston.

The little Chinese baby whose birth
in this city attracted so much attention
is now bright little girl nearly
months old, and happy, petted child,
the center OF large CIRCLE of admir-
ing friends. Mr.. Sam Wah Kee, baby's
father, is Chinese laundryman in this
city, and is a refined, cultured man.
His wife is bright, pretty woman not
yet out of her teens, but she is very
motherly and devoted to her pretty
baby, who takes her maps in a real
English cradle, while the mother sews
and plans the dainty little Chinese gar
ments that little Miss Wah Kee is to
wear. Baby has smooth, white skin OF
wonderful delicacy, fine black hair.
and dark blue eyes that look up merrily
to visitors while the little rosebud
mouth Fuckers up into queer shape
and then opens in laughter that is con-
tagious in its merry, ripping melody.
This baby receives great many callers
from personal friends of its parents,
and gifts are lavished upon it by all
little people who call. The baby wears
a regular Chinese dress-a loose sack
of soft, blue cloth with deep cuffs of
red, with tiny golden buttons, little
round cap of cherry satin, trimmed
with ornaments of native gold, and it's
little feet are covered by red socks of
the softest wool. She is beautifully
formed child of exquisite proportion,
small, regular features, with a slender
hand and foot, and nails like the inside
of sea-shell. The health of the little
one is perfect, and she is an interesting
specimen of babyhood. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that more of the women do not
come to this country, as the men are
apt scholars, gentlemanly, and unob-
trusive, and this little woman is a most
thorough lady and very attractive in
appearance, and gentle and refined in
manner. Since her residence in Bos-
ton she has learned to speak little
English and has joined her husband
in the observance of Christian rites
and modes of worship, while baby is
to be brought up like any American
child. This Chinese home and its in
mates possesses more than ordinary
intelligence and refinement. The little
Chinese mother has an elaborate ward
robe of Chinese silk, heavy with en-
broidery and fastened with ornamental
clasps of native gold, while the ward
robe for baby comes from prominent

The Language of Umbrellas.

There is language of umbrellas as
as of flowers. For, instance, place
your umbrella in rack, and it will
change owners. To open it quickly in
the street means that somebody's eve
is going to be put out; to shut it, that
hat or two is to be knocked off. An
umbrella carried over q woman, the
man getting nothing but the drippings
of the rain, signifies cour.ship. When
a man has the umbrella and the woman
the drippings, it indicates marriage.
To punch your umbrella into person
and then open it means Il dislike YOU"
To swing your umbrella over your
head signifies Il am making a nuisance
of myself" To trail your umbrella
along the foot-path means that the man
behind you is thirsting for your blood.
To carry it at right angles under your
arm signifies that an eye is to be lost
by the man that follows you. To open
an umbrella quickly, it is said. will
frighten a mad bull. TIC put a cotton

purchase an umbrella means Il am not
smart, but honest" To lend an UNI

turn an umbrella means-well never
mind what it means, nobody ever does

brella on your friend. saying, "Oh! do
take it; l had much rather you would
