Captain Thomas Condor, a Belfast
mackerel fisherman of sixty years ex-
perience, gives a lot of information
about that fish. The greater part OF
the spawning beds, he says, are on the
coast of New Jersey. The first year
the mackerel stay about their spawn
ing bed. The second year they strike
out for themselves. 1t is all a mistake
about their coming into bays because
of being chased by dogtish or horse
mackerel. Fish, like birds, are ruled
by the sensations of coldness OF
warmth following the latter. 1t is
seldom that large mackerel enter bays
they stay out to sea feeding on the out
er coast Only small thinkers" enter
the bays, and as they grow larger they
seek deeper water. The mackerel that
enter the bays follow little seed called
mackerel seed, upon which they feed.
Captain Condor has fished for mack
erel from Cape Cod to the Bay of Cha
leur, and ought to know the habits o1
that fish very well. Belfast (Me.) Age

A Strange VIII.

Perhaps the strangest will ever had
to draw up was that of a wheelwright
who had amassed quite comfortable
sum in the exercise of his calling. He
was member of the Church of Eng
land. but he had great objection to
the clergyman of the parish because he
was in the habit of preaching in sur
plice instead of the black gown to
which the wheelwright had been ac-
eustomed in his youth. The old fellow
left the clergyman the very handsome
sum of E200 on condition that he
preached funeral sermon over him of
not less than two hours duration, and
wore black gown for the occasion.
When the old man died the parson,
who was rich man, very good ma
turedly fulfilled the conditions of the
will, and gave the money in charity to
the poor of the parish. But he must
have had hard work to spin out his
sermon on the deceased wheelwright to
the required length. Interview in Lon.

Something Useful to Know.

Nowadays so many people so to
Florida and bring home pretty and odd
treasures. So it comes to pass that
boys and girls, as well as grown folks,
keep alligators. They pet them and
feed them and talk learnedly about
their habits. But sometimes the peo
pie who keep alligators don't know as
much as they might about their pets.
A man who knows told me; PLENTY
of people starve little alligators to death
because they don't understand them.
They let their pets run about on the
carpet and try to feed them there,
Now, an alligator will only eat with
his head under water If you give
him food on dry land he takes it un-
der the water and swallows it there.
He won't eat unless he can do this"
If you want your gators to live, boys
and girls, remember to feed them only
while they are in the water, or have a
chance of getting there. New York

A Man who Abhors womankind

On a cross street rnnning south from
the Base Line road, short distance be-
yond w. s. Ladds farm, is a house
which is not Trappist monastry, but
of which, nevertheless, ii Is said no
woman has ever been allowed to set
foot. The proprietor is a stout, solid
looking man, probably about forty
years of age, who lives alone. The
house is neat structure, quite fanci-
fully painted, and everything around
it in good order but it has n lonely,
deserted look withal.
1t is not known what this occupants
grudge against womankind is, but it is
evidently deep seated one, as it is re-
ported that the property has been
willed to man on the condition that
! he never allows woman to come on
the place, and in case he does it is to
escheat to the state. The neighbors
look askance at the place as they go by
and whisper with bated breath, That
! is the house i'm which a woman has
never set foot" 1t is safe to bet that

when Paganini Was Generous.

1t was generally supposed during his
lifetime that Paganini had more regard
for bank notes than for musical notes

was very chary with his money Che

also occasionally generous is amply
proved by several incidents in his ca
reer. One of his last concerts was
given Mt Turin for the benefit of the
poor He's gave Berlioz, the great French
composer, the large sum Of 10000
francs. simply as a mark Of admiration
for the latter's Symphonic Fantas-

manner of his befriending a little
Italian whom he found playing on the
streets of Vienna
The boy con6ded to him that he sup

and that he had come from the other
side of the Alps Paganini was touched
at once He literally .emptied his pock-
cts into the lads hand, and taking his
poor instrument from him began "the
most grotesque and extraordinary per
formance possible" Presently there
was quite a crowd around the curious
pair, and Paganini, concluding his
solo. went around with the hat. A
splendid collection was the result, and
after handing this to the boy Paganini
walked off with his companion, remark
