su,.r.,i,,on. Of Scotch Fishermen.

Some still existing superstitions among
fishermen are communicated by resi-.
dent. At the beginning Of the herring
season the crew all try to seize the her
ring first on board to see II 1t By q male
or female. II It Is male their fishing
may he expected to be poor one; II q
femyle good one. Sometimes, how
ever, the skipper secures 1t and hides 1t
away. sailing 1t and laying It aside for
the season. The boat must not be turned
against the sun.
Certain animals considered OF Ill omen
must not be spoken Of in the boat, and
ministers In this respect occupy the same
place as rabbits. hares, and pigs. Fish
ermen do not like to lend anything to q
neighboring boat lest their luck should
20 with 1t. II they lend q match they
will contrive-secretly II possible-to
break 1t and keep part, hoping thereby
to retain their luck. Their dislike to
have anything stolen is increased by the
fear that the thief may have stolen their
luck with II. To ask the question.
where arc you going? of any one who
Is going ON board Is equivalent to dc
stroying all his chances for that time.
Persons with certain names are held to
be of bad omen, the dreaded names be-

WORTH REMEMBERING.

That a tablespoonful Of EPSON salts
taken IN u glass Of water Will remove
sick headache.
Ribbon ruches may be washed by
merely dipping them In ammonia aud
water, not squeezing or wrlnglng, but
patting and dipping until clean.
Cupboard shelves may be kept white
and sweet by being washed with hot
soft water aud then secured with baking
soda.
Bright sunshine will remove scorch
which has been made by using an over
heated iron.
A salye made by stcwing n scraped
carrot In butter will cure eryslpelas.
Cabbage leaves wilted on hot stove
and bound to feverish sores or swelllngs
will draw out the fever.
Turpentine rubbed daily on swell
Ing will scatter II.
Any part of wall that Is inclined tn
be damp may be made imperylous to
moisture by Supplying a varnish Of one
part shellac to two OF naphtha. The dis
agreeable odor soon wears of.
Sponging the carpet with strong so
luton of salt or alum, or q weak solii-
ton of ammonia, will brighten the colors
and prevent moths.
Your broken and crooked tacks
should be saved and kept for cleansing
bottles. They are excellent.
a large raisin cut open and heated
laid about an aching tooth will often
ease the pain.

course cannot be answered. Experiments
made with this curious vine and the car

Dr.. e. B. Turner, In considering the
question whether young children BE-
tween the ages, say, Of DIX and twelve,
should be allowed to cycle. and II al
lowed how much they may indulge IN
the pastime without mourning the risk
Of injury, maintains that the subject u
one ON which no man can pronounce
dogmatically or Lay down strict and In
variable rules concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might DO merely
healthy and beneficial exercise, for IN.
other might mean physical ruin. But
while each case must be judged ON its
merits, one fundamental principle must
be clearly enunciated-namely, that no
young child with any organic weakness,
whether Of heart, lungs. joints or nerv.
GUS system, should be allowed to mount
machine under any circumstances
whatever.
Setting aside such natural disqualif-
cations, the exercise Of cycling. properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities

be partaken Of by children Of both sexes

and the self reliance and resource en-
tailed by the management Of machine
tend to strengthen and enlarge the men.
tai and intellectual faculties. A few
simple precautions, however. may insure
good and avert evil results. Az to the
age that child should begin. for most
children SIX Is quite early, and even for
some six Is too early. Great care should
be taken In choosing and fitting ma
chine to o young rider. An old, Ill fitting
crock may produce deforInity or disease.
Two things that must be insisted on In
buying either n bicycle or tricycle. for
q young rider are that the peak OF the
saddle should be two inches Behind the
crank axle. and that the handles should
be 10 brought around and back that the
child can sit perfectly upright ON the
machine. As to the distance-the child
may ride no absolute rule can be laid
down. Overexertion must be carefully
guarded against, and o sleepless night
and distaste for food Is one Of the indi.
cations that the system Is poisoned by
the products OF Its own waste. II must
he remembered that excessive speed Is
more injurious than excessive distance.
and excessive hill climbing than either.
The conclusion arrived at by DR.. Tur-
ner il that sound child, six years old.
