could see by our glasses. kept well to- gether. Nevertheless the leaders of each company kept on sending out sig nal cries so loud that they could be heard for half a mile through the storm. These were to keep the migants to- gether, for they could very easily get separated in the dark. Away from the rear of one of the huge focks came distinct answer, and then the leaders struck out more swiftly, feeling that the army was holding together. Some of these immense hocks resembled large scudding clouds, and a body of wild geese moved in a semi-circle, which seemed to me to be nearly a quarter of mile wide. The geese paid no heed to the light, but went on silently, save for the occasional ''honking" of the leaders. Some of the crows came near the light, and many birds struck the bronze and stone, some of them falling back stunned and others dead. To add to the multitude of feathered creatures circling around the illuminated head of the statue, scores of bats came out of their hiding places and feasted on the moths that congregate around the elec- tric flame.
 Bct the bird that passed the light houses and the statues in greatest num- | Der was the bobolinl. This is an inter- | esting member of the feathered tribe because it is now found in nearly every restaurant in the United States. What is called the reed bird and the rice bird is a boholink, and they are passing now in focks of from hundred to five thou sand, taking their time along the march and getting slaughtered in large num- bers at every stopping place. These | birds march with decided regularity and often fly at great elevation. The signal cry is "Spinl," "Spink," and of all the beautiful notes at the command of this bird this is the only one used during the passage at night. Judging from the cries and the large cloud-lil&e f1oclxs, could not have seen less than eight or ten thousand of these birds all together during my night vigils lately. Of course they are now on their way to the marshes of the Potomac, where they will tarry several weeks feeding and frolicking. It is from resorting to regions like this that they get the name reed bird; but they afterward go south to the rice fields and receive the name of rice birds. But let me say that many sparrows, robins and thrushes are eaten under the name of reed birds. All night long the bobolinks streamed past the statue, but only few were killed against it.
 Shortly after the electric light was first set flaming from the hand of the goddess over thousand birds were picked up one morning on Bedloe's island. EDMUND COLLINS.

 They were all there, breathlessly ex- pectant. Even Dr. Jacobson's hand trembled as he united the linen wrap pings. As for the women, their hearts stood still with deep emotion.
 Then the shapely head was lifted, a slight, amazed expression fitted across the noble features and George Arundel murmured, in a tone of ecstacy that thrilled the listeners:
 "Oh, God! I see!''
 And he alone could speak. Then the torrent of pent-up emotions broke forth in smiles and sighs and tears, and MT. Hardcastle, in the abandon of his joy, and, let us hope, in the pardonable forgetfulness of the moment, put his arm around Mrs. Evesham's waist an6 absolutely kissed her, a proceeding which none-not even the widow seemed to think out of place. "You mustnot excite him." Dr. Jacob son said, responsibility, whereupon al l were still as statues.

Shifting Servants.

Club servants are constantly shift ing class in New York. The man who belongs to half a dozen clubs is con- stantly surprised at the apparition of a familiar face behind his chair and the grinning assurance of John or Thomas that his slave of the moment served him six months before at some other club house. English speaking servants are hard to keep, because club stew ards are mostly of the Latin races. and they prefer their own countrymen as subordinates. Negro servants in New York clubs are rare, and even the Southern society once dismissed full corps of negroes, including an old ''mammy" whose fried chicken was a dream of delight.

CURING MACKEREL.

The Peculiar Condition of the Industry in Ireland-Few Catches on This Side.
 Reports from the southwest coast of ireland indicate peculiar condition of the fishing industry. One report is, says the New York Sun, that great shoals of mackerel, which appeared only few years ago off the coast in the autumn, have appeared again. That is concur rent with the unaccountable disappear ance of maclxerel from the northeast coast of America. The other report is that the mackere1 curing industry in Bere Haven and other fishing stations has broken down completely. It was established 8 few years ago, and it promised great future for the fisher- meh. It added about fifty dollars year to the earnings of each of about three thousand fishermen. The break ing down of the industry is due, it is said, to bad packing and curing on ac- count of lack of experience. At Bal timore, Ireland, school of fishery that was established through the 1iberality of Lady Burdett-Coutts, boys have been trained to cure mackere1 for export, but there is great difficulty in finding employment for them.
 Ou GI1IS O1 btIC WdGCT LllC IudChCIC1 smaclxs, despite the favorable weather, are making insignificant catches. Shoals that appeared off the coast of Maine have been driven beyond the reach of seines by hordes of bluefsh | and bonitas. Seines have been in use since 1878. Before that hand lines were used.
 To anyone who has seen the Ameri- can method of curing and packing mackerel it would seem that the Irish fisherman ought to have succeeded bet ter. The dressing of mackerel consists of splitting, gipping, blowing and salt ing. The splitting is along the back from the head to the tail, leaving the backbone on the right side. Clippers remove the gills and entrails, and then they are thrown into wash barrel to remain for twenty-four hours. Flow ing is light stroke of the blow, which is piece of knife blade or similar in. strument, on each side from the head two-t thirds of the way down to the tail to give an appearance of plumpness. IT salting about one bushel of salt is use6 to barrel. The dressing and salting are done on board the smacks, unless the catches be so large that the crew cannot handle them, when they run fol port After being landed the cureC fish are assorted, inspected and brand ed from one to four, according to sizt and quality.

~-O-~FHc to make his home at the hall, and in the course of time her own child, George, was to succeed to title and estates, though not drawing attention to the scandal by assuming the title of courtesy until a sufficient number of years had elapsed after Ambrose's disappearance to make the claim legal in the ordinary course of the law"
 "Twenty-one years, is it not?" Harry asked.
 ''I think so, sir. Well, they had their own way in everything. Ambrose left his home heart-broken, the old earl passed miserable, spiritless ex- istence, his only solace his little baby boy, George, for whom he conceived an inordinate affection. Thus two years passed very miserably for all parties. You need not ask how became fa- miliar with these things, for shall not tell you, sir"
 ''Itis immaterial," Harry replied. Do continue your narrative"
 "Well, sir, at last little George took sick, and my lord was racked with anx- iety. I never saw a man take on so in all my life. He would not be com forted. But forgot to tell you that my lady took the most unnatural dislike to her child, for even a tiger loves its offspring-but suppose that was be- cause her husband loved it so. Little George grew worse till the crisis was reached, when he gradually recovered but with the loss of his sight. Just three months after the little sui ferer had got about again, there was { terrible scene between the earl and my lady, which ended in Bladon, my lord''
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-11-03

no suspicion but that my lady's health has broken down under my lords de- sertion; and there is not a more re- spected man in the country than Mr. Hayter-so proper, so sedate, so regular in his attendance at church-such paragon of perfection"
 The woman spoke bitterly.
 "One more question, Mrs. Homer. Did that first wife-I mean the one Lord Arlington married in secret-leave any children?"
 "Pshaw, sir! that was only a cock and-bull story got up by Hayter. She died, just as my lord supposed, within six months of her marriage"
 "Well," Harry said, emphatically, Il think there was some poetic judgment in the suffering Lord Arlington endured, for he must have deserted his French wife,
 ''Nay! even in that he was more sinned against than shining. You see he married her when he was a mere lad, before he succeeded to the title. She was a bad, dissolute woman, and left him of her own accord to share the fortunes of previous lover."
 "What hellish conspiracy! Now, Mrs. Horner, you and I must try to straighten out this tangled coil. Do you think that you could contrive for me an interview with Lady Arlington?"
 Ut is possible, sir. But, if you will take my advice you will get the young lady here before you act. With her daughter by her side, believe she would have courage to face even Paul Hayter. And, If the new lord-your l A,.11rIn1-noTon fn0 ha would be a power to shield her in her efforts fluence of that scheming villain"
 "All that would take time," Harry objected.
 "And it will be work of time any how. The hall is guarded like a prison and you have no authority to break the barriers. You had much better wait quietly here until your friends can joir you"
 ''Would not my presence attract tho observation of Hayter's servants?"
 ''Oh, no, sir; we have numbers of wis itors in the summer months-anglers and artists and such."
 ''Then that settles it." Harry declared ''I can daub little on canvas, anC sketching excursions will give me cap ital opportunities to get the lay of th' land"
 One difficulty, however, worried the young man, which was how to dispos' of Dr. Forester, whose presence woult materially mar his plans. He decided at last to play bold game, and wrot the learned gentleman as follows:
 My dear doctor, I have resolved t. act alone in the Arlington affair. you keep perfectly quiet and do not in terfere I will see that you shall b munifcently rewarded for the clew yo gave me. Any interference with m. plans, and throw up my hand.'
 And when the doctor received thi curt announcement he piously thanke heaven that his lot was not cast anon those abominable Americans, who ha no aristocracy and consequently n sense of honor and chivalry, but wisel resolved to bide his time for the presen at least.
 Meanwhile it was whispered anon the servants at the hall that the sta wart young fellow, who so often wa seen tramping over the estate with camp stool and portfolio was an artis from London, who was boarding at tn :, Arlington Arms; and more than on ? pretty farmers daughter cast sheep } eyes at the handsome painter.
