MENuADEN NET.

\ few years ago the farmers along a strip
Of coast dubbed together 10 provide boats
and a long fishing seine. y constant lookout
was kept from an elevated place. \ school
of menhaden may always he detected out
at sea by the smooth, shining streak of water
above them and in their wake. Other fish
kill and eat them 50 constantly that the oil
rises from their wounded and dying bodies in
quantity sufficient to he plainly visible, and
make the water smooth and shining. When
the school was discovered the farmers took
to their boats. shot out through the breakers,
drew long nets around the fish and scOoped
them in literally 10y the million. \ single
haul of a net sometimes brought n million.
When the first were brought in they were
loaded into carts holding leo apiece, and
hauled to the fields and scattered broadcast
upon them. A menhadcn is eight to fourteen
inches log, and one fish is considered equal
to n shovelful of barnyard manure.
The steam tugs with their lows have bro
ken up largely this profitable fishing, hence
the quarrel. The farmers are undertaking To
have the steamers required by law not to fish
within three miles Of the shore. After Il
DAYS fishing in the old way the nets were
stretched upon gigantic reels along the shore
70 dry. The reels made a picturesque object
in the landscape. One of them is shown i'll
the illustration.

MEyH,DES OR MoSsBUNKER.

In spite of enemies swarming above the
water and below it, the prolific little fish IS
caucbt by millions and millions every sum-
me- 1t is a small fish of the shad family,
brownish-green above, white below and
rainbow hues all over. 1t has a black spot
mon its shoulder, if a fish can be SAID 10
have a shoulder.
The m~ossbunker fisheries are changing IN
character Of recent years, and hence the
trouble between the shore farmers and the
steamers. \ powerful, snorting little steam
tug takes in tow half a dozen or more great
omen. stupid scowS. 1t steams out along the
coast anywhere from half a mile to hVe
miles from land, anchors where there Is u
shoal Of ~mossbunkers and the fleet proceed 10
fish by wholesale. The ''bunkers' are taken
by the hundred thousand in DmrSe nets ana
,uInpItu .i..o vue Uuats. After several Jays,
when all the scOws are full, then the fleet
starts home, trailing an Odor behind 1t which
'.smells TO heaven" Factories are built at
intervals along the coast. Here tho laden
boats are towed and their contents converted
into oil and fertilizers, and here for q toler-
ably steady thing there is smelling to heaven
the wear around. That is the new fashioned
way of mossbunker fishing. A relic OF the
old fashioned way is seen in the illustrations:

A Nice, Quiet Trip.

"The queercst wedding trip l ever heard
of said the station master at the west side
depot, took place one day last week. The
couple were from a little corn and hog sta
ton down on the Burlington, and they came
up on one OF the morning trains. They went
into the waiting room up stairs and remained
there the whole day. At moo they brought
ont u bit of lunch and ate it together. Only
once or twice did the groom venture beyond
the station walls, and the cries of the hack
men quickly frightened him back. The bride
had a great curiosity to so over closer to the
river, so she could see the shipping, but the
groom was afraid to leave the station for
fear of getting lost. Notwithstanding the
seeming monotony of the day they were as
happy as CLAIMS all day long sitting a-hold OF
each others hands. When evening came they
took the night train for home, where they
were doubtless received as a hero and heroine
after their adventures while taking in the
wonders of Chicago" Chicago Herald.

SCIENCE AND PROGRESS.
THE FISH FROM WHICH FERTILIZERS

Co~-operative Farming in England-inter-

Every Creature is His Enemy.
A red hot dispute is going on between the

purpose Of spawning. 1t is not much OF a

But for a fertilizer of the soil, and for furnish

body's hand is against it. Man makes fish

what is left after the oil is pressed out. Other
fish eat it by the million. 1t is a part Of the

silk Undertaking,

There is a widely prevalent idea that silk is
the best substance from which to make I'M
derclothing, and | have known many poor
girls to stint themselves in the neceSSaries OF
life in order TO save enough money TO pur-
chase silk undergarmentS. But silk is not
the best material with which 70 make under
clothes. so far as concerns their health pre-
serving qualities, whatever may he Its adj
v~antages so far as beauty and immediate
comfort are concerned. The chief object Of
Undertaking is the retention of the natural
heat of the body in such a way that low tenn
peratures and sudden change1 will not effect
the surface. Several years Ego performed
some experiments which went to show he
youd a doubt that silk is below wool in its
power to prevent the loss OF heat from the
body and very little superior to cotton. In
deed, nothing is in this respect preferable
TO wool, and of this material all undercloth-
ing meant for winter use should be made,
In summer a mixture Of wool and cotton
called merino may be worm, but even i'll very
hot weather silk is not desirable, for it is not
such a ready absorber of the perSpiratlon as
is wool, and hence allows the body TO be kept
in q state not very remote from that known
as parboiled. Wool, however, taking up as
it does the moisture from the body, exposes II
TO the action of the atmosphere, it Is evapo-
rated, and the process being a cooling one,
keeps the skin from becoming overheated.
