Of Interest to Fishermen.

Much has been printed of late concerning the
those who havchad experience say that oil ditflls-
ed on the surface prevents seas from combing or
breaking and thus lessons the danger. In this
connection the following letter from Lieut.. A.
w. Marshall, L. S. n, of the photographic
Office, Boston, to the American Fish Bureau,
will be of interest:
Will you kindly bring the following scheme
to the notice of your fishermen ane see if they
will experiment with it. | think there is no
doubt now but that the use of oil in calming
down ''the raging billows' is settled thing,
and it is surprising to me that it is not used by
all masters when in trouble
My plan is-when riding to droguc, or drag,
as the fishermen have to do very often, have Il
thimble or any other appliance secured to the
floating part of the drag and through it an end
less line rove (the other end on board.) This
line is for the purpose of hauling out the oil bag,
and when the first one is empty haul in and send
out full one. In cases where the hawser to the
drag is of such length as to require very long
endless hauling line, then have the reeving thm-
bic stopped to the hawser at such a distance as
to place the oil bag about 100 feet or more ahead
of the vessel when the haWser is taut.
The same plan can be used to advantage when
at anchor by stopping the thimbe on the hawser
at such distance that when compelled to veer
for blowing weather the endless line will be in
place for hauling out the oil bags. When used
at anchor think the bag ought to be secured to
a small float before hauling it out into position.
l am so thoroughly convinced in my own mind
of the great good which will result from the
adoption of this or some other plan of getting
oil to windward, that do not hesitate to say l
believe the time will come when fishermen will
be able to carry on their work even during the
prevalence of very heavy weather, 50 long as
their ground tackle holds.
Will you please try and get some of the mas
ters to use the above plan or some expression
of opinion in regard to its feasibility.

The Country Week.

The Special Committee of the Boston Young
Mems Christian Union have issued their Elev-
enth Annual Report of the Country Week,
which has for its object sending poor children
and others from the city during the summer
months, for Il vacation of ten days or more, to
pleasant homes in the country. Since the in
auguraton of the work in 1875, there have been
sent out 15,072 children and adults, the visits
averaging about 13 days for each The number
sent in 1870 was 160; in 1876, 800; 1877. SCI; in
1878 1,046; in 1879, 1916; in 1880, 1877; 1881,
$50; in 1882, 1,795; in 1888, 2,042; in 1884, g,
259; in 1885, 2,307. Visitors were sent last year
into ia different towns, remaining 2S ,9W days;
and the average expense per week for each visi-
tor was $3.50. AT the Country Home at Well
esley, Mass, 143 children and Others principally
invalids, remained last season 2,059 days. The
report, which contains many interesting details
of the work, will be sent to any one desiring
it. Subscriptions are now being received for the
season of 1886, and should be addressed to VIM.

From an Admirer of Midshipman Easy.

70 THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: | have
read Cooperative Industry by c. S. Griffin No.
4. For perfect cure for the wild theories adj
vanced by the author would recommend him
to read Midshipman Easy. The father of the
hero of that tale believed that all things should
be in common and so taught his son, but the
young midshipman soon found that it would
not work on board man of war. He also be-
lieved that all the murders, thcfts and sins of
all kinds were caused by PERSONS heads being
out of shape, and he sought to reform the
world by making a machine in the form of
perfect head All that was to be done was to
put the head of the murderer into this machine
and by turning screw compress the head into
the right shape and turn him loose an honest
man. But unfortunately for the old man, and
more unfortunately for the world perhaps, he
tried the experiment with his own head, and
lost his life by being hung in his world-reform-
er. Read Midshipman Easy, Bro. Griffin.

Prof. GoWen's letter seems to Us to show
very plainly that third party, or Prohibition
party, is not called for in Maine. The Repub-
licans of Maine have responded to all the de-
mands Of the prohibitionists and have placed
prohibition in the State constitution. A third
party movement here can only help the Demo-
cratic party, which once in power would set to
work to undo all that the Republican party has
done in behalf of temperance. AS to other
States this is a matter the people of the respec-
tive States have to decide for themselves. Laws
are valucless without public sentiment to slls-
tain them, and in creating the sentiment in be-
half of temperance lies in our opinion the true
field of The prohibitionists led. journal.

The Gardiner Home Journal has always been
OH the side of the poor and unfortunate. In a
recent issue of that paper we find this sarcastic
item:
In about every town, the men who can do the
towns business at the least possible expense
are the ones who are looked upon as the fore
most citizens of the place. To certain extent
this is as it should be, but there are some things
that the town should not be too economical in.
A paper has figured out from the town report
that the cost of paupers in the town of Wells
last year was 10 cents each per week, or $3 per
month. Perhaps there may be something not
published to make the statement look different
ly, but the bare statement that people were sup
ported on 70 cents a week has tendency to
make one hungry.

feasibility of the loan business, the public do
main continued to be given away to such COM
panies as would agree to build themselves a
railroad, but most of the roads haven't been
constructed yet because Congress has been a
little dilatory about taking mortgages on them
before they are built. The above is given
simply TO show that the growing about capi-
talism and monopoly is not all i-foundcd. 1t
is because of such things that we lose sight of
many of our true difficulties and more of our
remedies.
1t is often stated that because these corpora
tons have got these lands and railroads by
their wits without paying money for them still
the laboring man has no reason to complain.
They have certainly shown to the labOring
man more clearly his need of corporation, but
let us examine their business methods little
farther. Let us suppose for the sake of illus
tration that Jay Gould was the president of the
U. ?. railroad and that at its eastern end, name
ly, at the Missouri river, it connected with two
roads running from there to New York. We
will name the two eastern roads the A and the
b road. Now Mr.. Gould wants to own one of
these eastern roads. He has no money to buy
it so to get it he must make the road buy itself
and give itself to him. How will he do it?
He buys little stock on the A road, then issues
an order that freight taken all along the U. 2.
road to be shipped to New York if forwarded
from the Missouri river over the A road it will
be taken ten per cent. cheaper than goods to be
forwarded over the B road Business is busi-
ness. AS result all the inland and overland
freight goes to the A road and it does flour
ishing business and its stock goes up. In the
mean time the b road is getting local trade
along its line only. Its business is so small
that its stock goes down. and to save itself from
bankruptcy it cuts down the wages of its
employees. When it is reduced to the verge of
bankruptcy Mr.. Gould quietly sells his A stock
at a big price and as quietly buys the cheap b
stock. He then changes the program and issues
notice that goods can be forwarded cheaper
over the B road than over the A. He does not
raise the pay of the men on the B when it gets
its boom of business but uses the low wages
as still stronger lever to reduce A. The loss
wages below even what is paying, and finally
when on the verge of bankruptcy Mr.. Gould
had made the b stock boom and sells it out and
puts the proceeds into A stock again. BY con-
tinuing the pumping process Gould soon has
money enough to own one of the roads. 1t

A Good Idea Concerning Funerals.

In connection with the subject of funer
ais l would like to make suggestion to
all who, through sad necessity, may be-
come Interested 1t is the custom, of
course, where death occurs in family TO
send at once for an undertaken. If there
be no male relative to make business of
the matter, the suggestions of tts under
taker are listened to and assented to by the
widow and the orphan. The sub ject of the
cost CRATES So harshly upon the ear of the
afflicted ones that cost and prices are not
much talked over, but left to the Judgment
Of the undertaken The undertaken, how
ever kind and sympathetic, knows but
little of the financial affairs OF the family,
and his thoughts running naturally in the
business line of getting up a nice fu-
neral, he selects and brings up a rather
expensive colin or sarcophagus-probabl
one that costs $50 or $50 Its price scares
the family, but it has been ''ordered," and
the straitened family finds that the pay
uent OF it, together with all the other ex-
penses incident to sickness and death, be-
comes as great weight upon their hearts
as is the earth upon the form Of their dear
one i'll his grave
This is no fancy picture But let it be
understood that there are in every under
taking establishment in this city not only
those modern denominations called caskets'
made OF iron, or of chemically stepped
boards TO initiate iron, but also rosewood
collins, light in weight end very beautiful
for prices from I'll to $50 My suggestion
is, 10 all families, that when death enters
among them, thcy-at any cost of feeling
make the expense of the burial personal
and business matter, and thus avoid sorrow
