Each schooner uses two seine boatl
about thirty-ive feet in length, and two
seines, one of 175 fathoms, for shoal
water, and one of $50 fathoms, for deep
water seining. Each seine is about thirty
fathoms deep. In this fishing the most
tremendous excitement occurs when a
school Of mackerel is discovered breaking
the surface of the water into millions of
snow white fiecks and spumes. A dory
with two men mold one seine end taut.
The seine boat, manned by twelve to four
teen men, pays out the seine with the
mightiest speed, as nearly as possible sur
rounding the school, and circling around
to the dory, where the seine is drawn to-
gether, the lower line pursed close, and
frequently within his meshy pound tens
of thousands of cleaning s%quirming fish
may be seen. These are flung aboard
with ordinary scoop nets, the entire
operation being very similar to shad
SEEMING on the Delaware and Chesapeake.
The mackerel are split, the jib, or insides,
removed; they are plowed to make them
appear deceptively fat, and are then
picked in barrels or run into market
fresh.-Edgar l.. Wakeman in New
York Mail and Express.

There are few things more touching
than the love of the British collier for his
dog. To him the animal is more than
wife or children: he loves them, too, in
his way, but it is on his four footed friend
that his not too tender heart lavishes its
chief affections. And the dog recipro-
Gates this regard; between the two there
exists a closeness Of understanding which
serve almost in the place of language to
convey thoughts from the one to the
other. TIL pitman expects, however,
that his faithful companion shall be
ready to light to the death at any mo-
ment, Even if the dog is not that way
inclined, he must accommodate himself
to his masters hHrnor, and cheerfully
submit to be mn "a for the honor Inc
glory OF the fl: 49,. Not only, either,
must he enter t4.e lists; it is equally in
cumbent on him to come ont a winner.
$50 it lad, " exclaimed a Yorkshire miner
as he looses his pet at another pitman's
champion; 'ff thee gives in III shoot
thee" And he would, no doubt, have
carried out this threat had not the battle
ended abruptly through police interior
ence.
1t appears, therefore, that the miners
love is strictly governed by the proved
worth of its object. Accustomed to fight
ing himself, the worthy fellow believes
that the deadliest sin of all is to yield be-
fore being placed absolutely hors de COM
bat. 1t is a true British instinct, and
eminently praiseworthy in its way; of
such stuff are heroes made. "a peerage
or Westminster abbey" were the altern-
atives Nelson placed before himself when
entering the combat. 1.-The best of food
or a dose of lead'' are those presented to
his canine hero by the British miner. The
dogs seem to perfectly understand and to
appreciate these conditions; one or the
other is invariably killed in the fight

The lichen is remarkable for the great
age To which it lives; there is good ground
for believing that they endure as long as
100 years. An authority states that some
plants have been found by actual observa-
ton to endure 40 years. Their growth is
exceedingly slow, indicating hat only n
little nourishment serves to keep them
alive. In a dry time they have power Of
s%uspending growth altogether, renewing
it again at the fall of rain. In time of
rain they change their color, becoming
greeuer. Another interesting fact about
hchens is that they grow only where the
air is free from smoke or dust. They are
never found growing in the n~eighborhood
of towns, where the atmosphere is i'm
]pregnated with SCOT and smoke. Thus
these plants afford an indication of the
purity Of the air. Forest and Stream.

The genesis of voluntary attention is
to be found in its utility. When the con-
ditions of life become at all hard, and es-
pecially il they become so by more or less
sudden changes, the power of adaptation
to them is dependent upon voluntary at
tention to details; upon consideration of
something besides the Immediately at
~tractive and useful. The savage is lazy,
is inspired only by chase, by war, by play;
his interest is in the unknown, the I'M
foreseen, the chance. He is not capable
of continuous labor. In half civilized
communities work is repugnant. Volun-
tary attention is a factor of civilization,
and is maintained with effort. The most
constant characteristic of criminals is
lack of power to pursue a steady calling;
and the Italian anthropologists regard
this as a reversion to primitive habits.
Voluntary attention thus came in, and is
maintained as sociological power.-Prof.
TIL. Ribot.

There are many very peculiar facts
connected with ocean travel, especially
on the Atlantic, which are brought about
by the system of the various lines of
steamers between certain countries. To
illustrate: y few months ago a friend of
mine desired to make the speediest trip
possible from New York to Buenos
Ayres, Argentine Republic, South Amer
lea. There is a line Of steamers run
ming from New York to Buenos Ayrcs,
but the vessels stop ut various ports and
they occupy forty-two days in making
the trip. By figuring on the time, my
friend found that he could so from
New York to Hamburg, Germany,
where steamers run to Buenos Ayres
without putting in at any ports except
coaling stations, and make the single trip
in thirty-two days. He travelled the lat
ter route, gaining ten days in time, al
though travelling several thousand miles
more than on the direct route.-'.C. Z.

Life at Oxford is no more expensive for
a student than any one of the great col.
leges of the United States. / asked Mr.,
Warburton about the cost of student life
here, and he was able, reporter like, to
give me tho exact figures. He said hat q
student could live well and nave every
thing that he should have with an income
of 81, 500 a year. There are plenty OF
student who are getting along on half
that Two thousand dollars a year would
be q most liberal estimate. The students
that were classed as rich were the sons OF
wealthy families who allowed them
81, 900 a year pocket money. OF course
there was a fast set at Oxford, as
there is in every university town.
The members of this set spend money
recklessly and often get into debt, but
their expenses nave nothing to do with
any proper estimate of the cost of student
life here. The standard of examination
for admission to Oxford is no higher than
at our best colleges. The requirements
after that are very much less. An under
graduate of ordinary abilities can finish
the course in any one of the colleges here
within three years, and in the three years
he will study six months only in each
year.
The scholastic year consists of three
terms of only eight weeks each. They
nave SIX weeks hoLIuay at ChrlstHnas. IL
is easy to see from the shortaperiod of
study and the p~redominance given to
classical studies that not much of a
general education can be obtained at Ok
ford. Strangers who come to Oxford often
ask where the university is, not seeming
to understand that there are thirty
colleges comprised in the university sys-
TEN at Oxford. While they are generally
classed together and pursue the same lines
of study, yet they are separate and dis
tinct organizations. Some of the colleges
are very rich and some are very poor.-T.

Some people, especially among the
lower, middle n working classes, are
confirmed medicine takers. They read
the advertisements of patent nos
trums, which profess to cure every i'll
under the sun from agues to ulcers,
and implicitly believe the statements
which they contain. The ignorant medi-
cine taker never pauses to consider that il
a 1.-THE of the ~pretensions so blatantly
proclaimed had any foundation in fact,
the existence of cultivated and learned
bodies, such as the college of physicians
and the college of urgeons would be no
longer necessary. Not only does he be-
heve everything which the advertisers
tell him, but he becomes an advocate of
the remedies to his friends, and thus, like
the SNOWFALL which increases as the
.schoolboy rolls it in the drift, the mis-
chief insensibly increases, until in time 1t
assumes colossal proportions Time.
