Purpose of Catching Fish.

Purpose of Catching Fish.
Cormorants are large webb-footed
birds found on rocky coasts in most
parts of the world, and living entirely
on fish. They do not take their prey by
diving when on the wing, but pursue it
by swimming and diving, using their
wings in progress under water and de-
scending to wonderful depth. When
the prey has been caught in a manner
inconvenient for swallowing they toss
it in the air and adroitly catch it rs it
comes down. The name cormorant sig
mites "a sea crow" and it has also
come to signify glutton, these birds
being exceedingly greedy.
They can be easily tanned and in
China they are regularly trained to
catch fish for their master. They &c
out in boat with him and sit quietly
on the edge of it until they receive his
orders. Then they dash into water,
seize the fish in their beaks and bring
them to him. Should one of the birds
pounce upon fish too large for it to
carry alone, one of it's companions will
cOuc W us dSSlSCduce, anu Cuc CWO W.
gether will bring it to the boat. Some
times cormorant takes an idle fit and
swims playfully about instead of at
tending to its business, but it is soon
called to a sense of its duty by its mas
ter who strikes the water sharply with
his oar and shouts at it, when it i'm
mediately stops playing and dives for a
fish. And when the task is completed
the birds are allowed good share OF
the fish, which they gobble in even
less time than they took to catch it

DEVELOPMENT OF DOLLS,
The Difference Between Those of Ancient
and of Modern Manufacture.

The Difference Between Those of Ancient
and of Modern Manufacture.
The talking doll of our later holiday
seasons is the lineal descendant of a
rude and simple ancestry. We can
trace it's history, with that of civiliza-
ton, by the fgurines of Tanagra and
the ivory figures of wealthy Rome. BY
a comparison of customs among the
South sea islanders, we may satisfy
ourselves that dolls were priced by
children in prehistoric tunes.
The daughter of the savage makes her
own doll, and invests it with all the
graccs and charms of form and diSpO-
sition. Travellers tell us that the make
believe child of the little savage often
consists of nothing more nearly human
than an ear of corn in the husk, long
gourd or a cucumber. or even, in cases
of extreme want, a fig leaf made into a
roll. This she soothes and chideS. and
sings to, and interests with stories of
her own telling.
The ivory doll of the Roman child
was too costly for the ages that fol-
lowed the fall of the empire. For
many centuries dolls must have been
chiefly of home manufacture. The first
shop-made dolls after the middle ages
were the jointed wooden dolls of the
Netherlands. These were known in
England, and in this country, too, in
colonial times, as ''Flanders babies''
These "Flemish beauties are de-
scribed as having had round black
heads, with a well-defned blush on
either cheek They We're of wood
from crown to toe. Their legs and
arms were jointed. The wig of brown
hair was fastened to the head by a row
of iron tacl1s.
Dolls of the latest pattern are now
manufactured in great numbers in En-
gland and in this country. Yet these
countries still continue to import some
Of the cheaper kinds from Germany.
The extent to which dolls are manu-
featured in England may be judged from
the statement, made a few years ago in
the house of commons that manu-
facturer had an order for five hundred
pounds sterling worth of dolls eyes.
In 1889, in the state of New York and
in New England, there We're at least
forty factories engaged in making dolls.
These mills employ hundreds of per-
sons, chiefly women. For the produc-
ton of the finest specimens, however,
France holds the first place.-Youth's
Companion.

Chambermaids Don't Steal.

A hotel man discussing the habit
many guests have of leaving hotel and
forgetting to take all their personal
property with them said last night that
the help employed in hotel is rarely
found to be dishonest. ''Chamber-
maids" he said, "have many opportu-
mites for quietly getting away with
valuables from the room of a guest, but
1 can not remember half-a-dozen times
in an experience of twenty years as a
hotel manager where this opportunity
was taken advantage Of. Every month
some chambermaid or other is accused
of taking some small article from the
room of guest, but after quiet inves-
tigation it always turns out that the
guest has mislaid it. One of my cham
bermaids was accused once of stealing
very valua BILE diamond ring. A guest
had laid it, he said, on the wash-stand,
and that was the last he saw of it. We
hunted high and low but the ring could
not be found. We promised to make
good the loss, but we did not have to do
it, for two days after the owner of the
ring had left the house he wired us that
he had found the ring in a pocket the
existence of which he seemed to have
forgotten. Commercial Ga

4 Powerful Agent in the Destruction of
human Vitality.
''The most common cause of death is
fat and lime" said a prominent New
York City physician the other day.
''Microbes are mere accessories in caus-
ing death. Take myself as a case in
point. Once, when younger, l could
lift my leg on level with my head. 1t
is an effort for me now to get it half
that distance. Lime deposits are the
causes of it. 1t is only few days since
that performed post-mortem on the
remains of distinguished journalist,
who died at an advanced age. When l
reached his heart took my knife, and,
on rubbing it over that organ, it sound
ed as if it were being rubbed over a
rough stone. The heart was fairly en-
cased in lime. l have now under my
care a distinguished literary mana
nonogenarian. He is going to die.
(The patient has since died). His death
will be caused by abnormal deposits of
lime. There is no mystery in death. 1t
is as natural for man to die as to be
born. ! We are born, we develop, we
grow ('grow' is right, and we die. Is
there anything strange about that?
Man is like tree. He lives his time,
then withers, decays and dies. When
we shall have learned everything we
shall be wise enough to prolong the life
of man, but by reason of the materials
by which the body is composed he must
die. ALBANY journal.

as the clamor increased Ivan turned to
the speaker and warmly exclaimed:
Very well; we shall abstain from
searching you, since you wish it; but
remember this, that if we fail to find a
clew to the informant among those who
willingly submit to the examination we
shall then know upon whom to fix our
suspicious. Now, comrades, search me
first; l am ready"
In a moment the speakers pockets
were emptied of their contents, and
even the lining of his clothes was care
fully searched, but beyond a few old
love-letters, some political pamphlets
and an English newspaper with para
graph obliterated with lampblack moth
ing of an discriminating character was
found. A second student readily sub
mitted to the test-if test it was-with
similar results. Then third stepped
forward and placed himself in the hands
OF his companions. But at that moment
curious incident occurred. An invisi-
BILE hand suddenly extinguished the light
of the candle, and in a second the room
was plunged in utter darkness.
What did itmean? Who had quenched
the light? For a moment the nihilists
remained motionless, as if rooted to the
spot AS they listened in alarm they
heard strange, creaking sound in the
direction of the curtained window.
Suddenly the voice of Ivan exclaimed
in the darkness: Comrades, this is
trick! Listen! Some one is endeavor-
ing to escape by the window! 1t is the
traitor at last. His attempt to escape
betrays his guilt. Stand back! l know
how to deal with him.
In an instant the reports of three re-
volver shots rang through the room and
were followed by an agonizing yell as
some one fell heavily upon the floor.
"A profound silence then enSued.
1t was an awful situation.
At length Ivan spoke to his terrified
companions.
''Strike light now" he said, in
trembling voice, land let us look upon
the face of traitor. Will no one move?
Are you all afraid to gaze upon the
dead body of miscreant who has be-
trayed us to our enemies? Come, pro-
fessor, where are the matches? You
had them last. But hush! What sound
is that? Listen! by heavens, comrades,
the police are upon us already. The
house is surrounded! Quick! here is
trap-door known only to myself. 1t
leads to the main sewer and is our only
hope of escape. Follow me-
Cropping hand in hand in the dark,
the atfrighted men followed the speak
er's directions, and after some momen-
tary confusion disappeared into a
noisome abyss. None too soon. In
another instant the door of the room
was battered to pieces, and a company
of gendarmes entered. Lights were
now flashed in every direction, but it
was obvious to all that the conspirators
had escaped. The officer in charge
swore long and deep, and ordered the
men to search the house from top to
bottom. Then, advancing toward the
window, he stumbled over a human
body.
'What's this?" he exclaimed, exam
mining the dead mans features with a
lantern. ''Ha. so they have caught you
at last, my friend, have they? Well,
you played the spy long and we'll but
it always come to this in the end"
And tearing down the window cur
tain the officer threw it over the rigid
body of-the professor.-Pal Mall Bud
