A red hot dispute is going on between the
shore fishermen and tie steamer fishermen
engaged in the menhadcn industry along the
New York and New England coast. The
menhaden is a fish which is the chief depend
ence for manure on Long Island and other
parts of the north Atlantic coast.
The common name of the menhaden is
moSsbunker. d, ring the summer months it
comes near the coast in great shoals for the
purpose of spawning. Ii is not much Of a
fish for eating, except early in the spring.
But for fertilizer of the soil and for furnish
ing oil, the mOssbunker Is uneXCeled. Every
body's hand is against it Mha makes fish
oil of it and commercial fertilizers out of
what is left after the oil is pressed out. Other
fish eat it by the million. 1t is part of the
regular diet Of the warlile and much priced
blue fish.

WRONG HOME INFLUENCES.

"Why, the stamp on this letter has
not been cancelled" said Mr.. Martin
Moore, taking up an envelope which
had been postnarked with a pen
from country post office. "You
can remove the stamp carefully to
use again as we'll as not"
'But l snail do no such thing"
replied the person thus addressed, to
whom the letter had been sent.
ooh, well, then l can do it for
you, and when you get out of stamps
I'll lend you one," was Moore's
laughing reply. "You don't suppose
Uncle Sam will ever miss two-cent
stamp, do your"
lit is the principle of the thing"
said the other speaker, land we have
no more right to steal two cents from
the Government than larger amount,
and | will never touch that stamp
again"
This conversation occurred in the
home circle, where the children lis
tened TO the fathers plausible rea-
soning, and how could they help be-
ing influenced by it? And if, in after
years, the father, whose opinion the
bright-eyed boy respects, finds him
practicing larger frauds, will the par
ent call to mind this, and similar les
sons taught, indirectly it may be, in
the home circle?
Here is another case in which both
deceit and dishonesty are instilled

made figures to represent the money
and Uncle Robert read it ten dollars
instead of one.
"Well, WE'LL" he remarks, "th

TEDDIE AND HIS KITTEN.

Teddie is a bright little boy, indeed
a picture of him as he stands with
his much-loved kitty Rugged close L
cannot readily give, but it is a picture,
the like of which never went upon
paper, for however true description
might be given, or representation OF
face and figure, the real boy-the
life-would not be there.
Teddie and kitty were the best of
friends. He thought there never was
a kitten equal to his, and the kitty
knew Teddie was kind to her, and
for that matter Teddie was kind to
all dumb animals. If he saw home
less dog on the street, or stray cat
about the premises, he was not a boy
to willfully throw stone or give
kick. He had been its owner since
kitty's existence. With all his good
qualities mama sighed often as she
thought of one propensity she feared
was developing in her child, misery
spirit. Often had she sought to prune
and uproot, but as often the little
shoots would sprout new. When
very little boy one of his great aunt
les had given him silver dollar.
She told him it was all his own; he
could do whatever he chose with it
providing he told mama first. She
hoped to hear him say he would give
at least a small part to the missionary
society, or the contribution-box
which he saw every Sabbath, or buy
some oranges or nice fruit to send
little sick Pat O'Brien, the washer
woman's son, but nothing of the sort
was heard from Teddie. No! he
he would keep the dollar, all for his
very own, keep it in his box and look
at it when he wanted to. Papa sug-
gested he should put it in the savings
bank, and there grow more, but Ted
die could not trust it.
Now the kitty was Teddie's especial
favorte and delight. When he went
out with mama, kitty was almost al
ways perched on the gate-post await
ing his return. He could play she
was his little pony, and fix harness !;
he could put on his little cap and coat
and playshe was a monkey. Oh,
there was no end of things he could
do with kitty as companion, and
she frolicked and played, and
liked the fun almost as we'll as he.
But, Notwithstanding his love for kit
tie, his love for gain got the better
of him when papa tempted him with
another silver dollar in exchange.
He looked at the dollar, he looked at
kitty, and finally took the dollar.
Now the kitty was no longer his but
papa's and papa stated he should set
about disposing of her early the
next day. When morning came he
brought forth a bag and heavy
stone, and in answer to Teddie's in
qulries said he might sink her in the
pond. Teddie protested, but kittie
belonged to papa.
The silver dollar was brought for.

CURIOUS EASTER CUSTOMS.

Perhaps the most singular of these
is practice in vogue in the northern
counties of England, where on Eas-
ter Sunday the male portion of the
community parade the streets, claim
ing the privilege of raising every wo-
man three times from the ground,
and in compensation receiving a sill
yer sixpence or kiss.
The early Christians greeted each
other with kiss and the announce
ment, "Christ is rlsen," to which
answer was made, ''He is risen in
deed, and this form is still practised
in the Greek Church.
The pace, or pasche eggs have al
ways been universally associated
with Easter, even sums of money set
apart for them, as shown in royal re-
cord of the time of Edward L., where
is entered eighteenpence for four
hundred Easter eggs. The children
used colored eggs variously ornamen-
ted in game where they tested the
strength of the shells. The game
of ball was also an Easter pastime
in which the civil corporations grave
ly engaged; and this sport was with
in late years kept up in Bury ST. Ed
munds by twelve old women. The
olden legend of the sun dancing in
the sky On Easter morn was current
in parts of England and Ireland.
