superstit,ons 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 if it be male
or female. If it is a male their fishing
may be expected to be poor one; if a
female a good one. Sometimes, how
ever, the skipper secures it and hides it
away, sailing it and laying it aside for
the season. The boat must not be turned
against the sun.
Certain animals considered of i'll 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 a
neighboring boat lest their luck should
go with it. If they lend a match they
will contrive-secretly if possible-to
break it 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 it. To ask the question,
"Where are you goingT of any one who
Is going on board is equivalent to de-
stroying all his chances for that time.
Persons with certain names are held to
be of bad omen, the dreaded names be-
ing different in different villages

sue is bank on which the body may
draw for supplies of energy and heat
when required. It is stated that in the
Frsnco-German war Of 1870 the German
emperor, acting on the strongly ex-
pressed opinion Of Ebstein, that muscu-
lar fatigue could be best supported on
fat, gave orders that each soldier should
have served out to him $50 grams Of

During the months Of January and
February, Bellingham bay has enjoyed
a larger shipping trade than occurred
during the larger part Of the past year,
a fact which goes far towards the full
fillment of the HERALD's prophecy
that the year 1898 would be the best
year in the history Of the Bay for the
number Of vessels TO load and dis
charge cargoes at its ocean docks.
Other vessels than those now in the
Bay are under sail for this port, with a
fair prospect, judging from the con-
tracts in lumber and coal which are
being made, that the shipments will
increase rather than diminish as the
year advances. The present increase
in the number Of vessels entering this
Bay to carry the resources Of Whatcom
county to the markets Of the world, is
not mere squirt to die away in a
month or 80, but is the true beginning
of that revival Of business for the Bay
cities which Is to give them the COM
mercial supremacy Of the Pacific coast.

CYCLING FOR CHILDREN.
Great Care Should BE Taken That Injury
Does Not Result from 1t.

Great Care Should BE Taken That Injury
Does Not Result from IT..
| DIR. L. b. Turner, in considering the
question whether young children be-
tween the ages, say, of six and twelve,
should be allowed to cycle, and if al
lowed how much they may indulge in
the pastime without mourning the risk
of injury, maintains that the subject is
one on which no man can pronounce
dog1natically or lay down strict and in
variable rules concerning. What for
one small boy or girl might be merely
| healthy and beneficial exercise, for an
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
a machine under any circumstances
whatever.
Setting aside such natural disqualif-
cations, the exercise of cycling, properly
regulated and adjusted TO the capabilities

DO 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 aud avert evil results. As 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 Citing a ma
chine to young rider An old, III fitting
crock may produce deformity or disease
Two things that must be insisted on in
buying either bicycle or a 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 80 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 a sleepless night
and a distaste for food is one Of the indi-
cations that the system is poisoned by
the products of its own waste. 1t must
be remembered that excessive speed is
more injurious than excessive distance,
and excessive hill climbing than either.
The conclusion arrived at by DR.. Tur-
ner is that a sound child, six years old,
properly fitted with a machine, and rid
ing in proper form and position, may
cycle within the limits of moderation
and derive benefit and suffer no harm
from the exercise.-St. Louis Globe

BUILDING FROM THE BOTTOM,

In its issue of yesterday the Seattle
Telegraph has an excellent editorial on
the subject of building From the Bot
tom," in which it says that "a we'll
informed gentleman from down the
Sound said the other day that Fair
haven and Anae0rtes had reached bed
rock and might be expected TO have
benceforth steady growth, because
the people had made up their minds
that no one was coming along with a
train load Of money to force the COM
merce of the Pacific to their doors, and
were consequently getting their heads
together and would probably soon put
their pocket books together and develop
the splendid country embraced in
Skagit and Whatcom counties. When
asked what there was to develop, he
grew very enthusiastic, and although
he did not tell much that the Tele-
graph has not told its readers several
times already, we feel like repeating a
few of the things he said. He told of
the magnificent tide flats which have
been reclaimed, the like Of which
for fertility and favorable climate
are probably not to be found anywhere
else on the coast, Of the extensive and
rich river valleys, of the excellent up
lands. There are hundreds of thou
sands Of acres of land in those two coun-
ties Of such value for agricultural pur-
poses that when we say farmer who
has twenty acres of it under the plough
can do better than from sixty acres
Of the best land in the prairie section of
the Union, we are sure that we are
within the mark. He spoke of the in
calculable wealth Of timber, both fir
and cedar, which can he cut to supply
the growing demand of the interior
states. He grew eloquent over the rich
ness and extent of the deposits of coal.
These resources are i'm sight. What ex-
tent of mineral wealth is stored in the
mountains to be yet exploited can only
be guessed at, but ii is undoubtedly
very large.
"If our friend was right when he says
that the people of the Bellingham bay
towns and Anacortes are going to take
hold with energy and make the best
that can be made out of the grand
region which will contribute to
their trade, then he is right when
he says that the growth of those
towns is certain. Unless we are
at sea in regard to the commercial
greatness Of Puget sound there will be
ocean commerce enough in the not very
distant future to satisfy the ambition of
all the rival cities, but there is not very
much that the present residents of the
Sound country can do TO hurry that
time along. But there is an immense
work which our people can do, and
that is utilize the means which God
and nature have put in our hands.
Happily the indications are becoming
clearer every day that this will be the
policy of our people. There has been
an immense advance during the last
two years, but unless all signs fail the
advance during the next two viii be
greater. Not only have Fairhavena and
Anacortes got down to bedrock, but
every city on the Sound has done the
same.n
