Ing several heet above the water, upon the
branches OF which bells were attached.
Lines were fastened to the rods, with baited
hooks. When a fish was fastened upon one
of these hooks, In Its efforts to free itself the
bell would ring and the fisherman IN waiting
would thus he notified where his services
were required. This was very exciting sport
or would have been to one fishing for sort
saw tho pattern, no doubt, OF the first or
most primitive device for taking fish by
means of buitel hook. 1t was simply thin
bamboo splint with a cord attached to the
center, and the two ends were brought to-
gether and inserted In piece of flesh. When
a fish took this into it's mouth to swallow the
bait the splint was freed and would spring
back to its former straight position, cross
wise In the fish's mouth or stomach, and hold
it until it could be landed
Cormolant fishing Is extensively practiced,
and is both exciting sport ana profitable
means of catching fish.
Two people go out in boat or "sampan,"
and take from six to dozen captive birds.
One manipulates these, while the other-most
generally the fkherman's wife-rows the
boat.
Two or three birds are put to work at
time, while the relay sit in the boat and rest
The birds often are disinclined to work, and
when they are the operator feints TO strike
them, when they dive for safety. They are
swift swimmers and keen sighted under the
water, and most generally bring up fish in
their beak Each bird has a ring around its
neck to prevent it from swallowing its
catches, and when a bird comes to the sur
face with fish it is drawn to the boat by
means of a cord attached to its leg for that
purpose, and it is forced to give up its prey
to its taskmaster The cormorant appears to
be a slave not only to man, but to other
birds,

A writer in Home Chimes says: 1t seems
to me almost wicked that with untouched
continents of fertile earth, ready to support
mankind in generous plenty, we crowd and
tester together in tho cities of the old world
like ants upon dust heap. The life III Eng
land here is artificial and unhealthy The
land does not support us. We arc living en-
it in defiance of the laws Of nature and
we cannot expect to prosper. Man to DO
happy must move In harmony with nature,
not In opposition to her rules. So long as
people draw their sustenance from, tho soil
that they inhabit their existence rests upon
firm foundation, and no great harm can hap
pen to them.

Women Mt the Theatres.

A bright actress says that she hates matinees
because "women audiences arc like sea Of
posts" They eat bon bons, seem to regard the
actresses as inferior creatures, and act rs
though the lightest commentator in the ma

propricty. 1t is unnecessary to say the actress
was talking Of provincial matinees. There is
never u lack of apprcciative applause in New

THEY K2rUsr 40 STAND Ir..

While Belfast has been having her
riots, No tn - ales has had hers. though
not so much perhaps has been said
about it. The Belfast riots arr caused
b the bitterness existing between Cath.
olics and Orsng- men; the riots in North
Wales are caused by the people refusing
to pay their tithes 70 supper, church
OF England ministers. 1t is estimated
that nine-tenths of the people in North
Wales are non-conformist; that is. they
refuse to conform to the doctrine and
liturgy OF the Church of England; yet
one thousand Church of England minis
ters receive their "livings" there; aud
haze been supported b. the tithes Of the
people OF that section, though they had
no faith in the religion the minis err
taught. The Welshmen, however. have
evidently become dred OF this sort OF
thing, and object to tithc-psying any
longer.
A few days ago a Rev. Evan Evans
refused to drop his salary % per cent.
and in consequence of this
action the farmers refused to pay
any of their usual tithes, and told the
clergyman to get his salary the best
way he could. The minister put his
case into the hands of three bailitfs whe
undertook to collect the Iithes for the
salary, but the farmers collected and
drove the bailiffs of, compelling the
minister to leave with them. The next
move on the part Of the preacher was to
put the matter into the hands OF an
auctioneer who was ordered to dispose
of such property belonging to the res
pective farmers as should be necesssr,
to pay each mans tithes, but by this
time the farmers were joined By han
dreds of Golfers from the neighbOring
mines, and tie auciioneer was knocked
down and taken away. There the
matter rests at present. But We think
the days of compulsory tithe-psyins.
especially to support an institution in
which the people have no faith, are
numbered in North Wales, and indeed
should be everywhere. ntr 4

SHE LEFT HIM.

Mrs. Virginia Edwards, of New York,
had been engaged for number of years
10 8 Mr.. William Plummer, of Peters.
burg, Virginia. The other day, accord
ing to appointment, they met at Chatta-
noogs to be married. But as the couple
stood up before the minister 10 be made
one, Mrs. Edwards discovered that the
man so soon to become her husband,
was drunk. Instantly the lady inter
rupted the ceremony, snatched The
marriage license from the minister's
hand and threw it in the face of her al
most husband. refusing TO marry him,
and set out for New York alone. The
action of this lady will doubtless become
one OF the leading features in temper
ance lectures, and countless maidens
will be told to go and do likewise with
their SWANS who 10 drink are inclined
1t will not be bad advice either.
For under the most propitious clr-
cumstances, starting out on tue
matrimonial sea is is a serious matter.
1t is the important step of a man or
Homan's life; their whole happiness de-
ponds upon the devotion, the kindness
and consideration that each exercises
for the other; and q man enslaved to
drink is not likely to exercise either of
these qualities TO any very great extent.
The woman who starts out in life with
a drunken husband with the expectal
ton of reforming him goes out, to sea
upon shattered plank, and puts her
trusrin miracles to save her. In the
case of Mrs. Edwards we think she did
the proper thing in leaving the altar
without becoming Mrs. Plummer; for
the fellow surely had small respect for
the lady he was about to marry If he
would go to the altar of Hymen DRUM.
The lady was properly indignant.

MEXICO ALARMED.

is evident that the Mexican govern
ment was alarmed by the noise created
in this country by the Cutting affair
Right or wrong, lawful or otherwise, il
concluded that it would be better to re-
lease Cutting, who was accordingly sci
at liberty without serving the
term of imprisonment to which be
had been sentenced, and also with
out paying the fine that had been
imposed. This was a backing down
such as had not before been made by
the saucy republic, and indicated de-
gree of fear on the part Of the govern
menL which was not entertained by the
Mexican people liviag along the border.
Now comes circular by the minister
Of foreign affairs, directed to the gov
ernors of the several States, which
was evidently intended to avoid
a repetition of The Cutting affair, and to
put stop to the outrages and indigni-
ties perpetrated on Americans who
may be caught on the other side of the
Rio Grande. The text of the circular
will be found in our Geographic COL
umns. II is simply a caution 10 the
border governments to be more careful
in the future and keep within the lines
of the law in the matter Of arresting
and Furnishing foreigners.
So that after all some good may come
out of the Cutting business. If Mex
leo has been sufficiently alarmed by
the warlike utterances of America TO
treat Americans with a proper degree
OF respect and consideration the blum
dering that has been done over the fell
low Cutting may turn out to be some
thing better than a political GRIM
For years Mexico and Mexi-
cans have done about as they
pleased with America and
Americans. a citizen of this country
has been as safe in the sister republic as
be would be IN & den of thieves. or
among band of highwaymen; indeed,
an American within fifty lmiies of the
border has been in such danger that he
had to so armed to protect himself ard
his property against raiding greas rs. It
IS to be hoped that all this will
now be changed, and thereby the neces.
sity for the United States to carry the
boundary line further south, be
destroyed. This country doesn't wan
MexIco, and viii never take it unless as
an act of self-protectIoA, and if the
Mexioans viii behave themselves, there
viii be no occasion for the seizure.
