superstition. Of Scotch Fishermen.

Some still existing superstitions among
fishermen are communicated by a 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 goingY 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

CYCLING FOR CHILDREN.
Great Care Should Be Taken That Injury
Does Not Result from IT.

Does Not Result from 1t.
DR.. e. b. Turner, in consid cfing the
question whether young cl! ,ren 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
dogmatically 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 unciated-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 disqualii-
cations, the exercise of cycling, properly
regulated and adjusted to the capabilities
Of the individual, Is unquestionably one
Of the best forms of recreation that can
be partaken of by children of both sexes
at an early age. 1t develops the body,
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. AS to the
age that a 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 ma
chine to young rider An old, i'll fitting
crock may produce deformity or disease.
Two things that must be insisted ON in
buying either bicycle or a tricycle. for
young rider are that the peak Of the
saddle should be two inches behind the
crank axle, and that the handles should
be so 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 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 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
Democrat.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION
Judgment of Lower Court in the Bur- |
rows & Anderson Case Reversed

Judgment Of Lower Court in the Bur-
rows & Anderson Case Reversed
The decision of the supreme court in
the case of Aug. Mansfield, as assignee
of Burrows d Anderson, VS.. the First
National Bank of Whatcom and r. L..
Sabin, appealed from the superior
court of this county, opinion filed Feb.
9Th, 1892, is of great Importance to the
commercial interest of the state. The
supreme court holds that where a
party has in contemplation the making
of an assignment for the benefit OF
creditors, and attempts to prefer one
or more creditors by giving chattel
mortgage, that such attempted prefer
ence is contrary to the statute and void,
and such mortgage cannot be foreclosed
so as to give the holder thereof any
rights over other creditors; and holds
also that! creditor who, because of
such attempted preference, causes an
attachment TO be issued and levied
upon the mortgaged property in the
hands OF the mortgage, acquires no in
terest in such property as against the
assignee, and such assignee may sue for
and retake such property in behalf of
the general creditors.
The case grew out of the fact that
the firm of Burrows d Anderson being
indie bted to the bank, and finding
themselves insolvent, for the purpose
of prefering the bank, executed to it a
mortgage upon their entire stock in
trade, consisting of boots and shoes,
and put the bank in possession. Mr..
Sabin thereupon, and after a deed Of
assignment had been executed, at
tached the property IN the hands of
the bank, after which the assignee
brought an action against both Sabin
and the bank for the property. The
case was tried before Judge VIM, who
decided that the mortgage was valid,
and the attachment should be sus-
tanned, from which decision the as
signee appealed, and the supreme court
reverses the judgment and decides both
the mortgage and attachment of no
effect.
The case was presented in both courts
by Messrs. Cole & Romano, of What
com, on behalf of the bank, Messrs.
Kerr & McCord, of Fairhaven, and
Messrs. Cox, Teal d Minor, of Portland,
on behalf of Sabin, while the assignee
was represented by Messrs. Bruce d.
Brown, of Whatcom.

The Hardest Work of All.

Few poets had more admirers among
women than Whittier had, and this adj
miration frequently took personal form.
One day his sister, in her slow, Quaker
fashion. was describing these eruptions;
.Thee hast no idea," she said, ''of the
time Greenleaf spends in trying to lose
these people ON the streets. Sometimes
he comes home and says, Well, sister, 1
bad hard work to lose him, but have
lost him." To this Whittier pathetic
ally added, "But / can never lose o her"

HIS FRACTURED GIFT.
Why Their Engagement Was Abruptly
Terminated.

why Their Engagement Was Abruptly
Terminated.
There is a certain young gentleman in
Clifton who is carrying am engagement
ring in his pocket which no longer en-
cages, And all because he is one of
those brainy youths of whom there are
only very few left unpicked from the
bush.
Just before Christmas he found him.
self running short of funds, yet he could
not bear the idea of giving anything but
a handsome present to his fiancee He
came so near having a conniption fit
that he sprained his better Judgment.
Going to one of the down town fash
ionable dealers in rich pottery of all
sorts, he selected magnificent oriental
jar, worth originally fifty dollars at the
lowest cash price, and which would have
adorned any cabinet of bric-a-brac in the
country.
The piece had by some casualty been
smashed into irreparable bits, and was
about to be thrown away by the dealer.
With CLEAN of triumph in his eye the
young man from Clifton asked the price
of the jar in its shattered condition.
The dealer, in some surprise, declared
il gift outright to any one who would
take the fragments away. The young
man from Clifton rubbed his hands with
Mephistophelian grin.
"What will you charge to box and
ship it in the same style as you would if
1t were entire?" he asked with design in
his eye.
The dealer named his charge, some
what astonished.
Good" said the young man from
Clifton. 81 will take the jar as it is
Here is your charge for packing. Be
sure it is done as carefully as with an
entire piece and ship it to this address"
and he handed the amazed dealer the
street, number and name.
Then with a triumphant chuckle he
strolled on, confident that he would re-
ceive credit for the present of an I'M
broken jar, while all the breakage would
be charged to the carelessness of the ex-
press agency that handled the shipment.
But that was where he miscued.
Last night he went TO call, TO see the
old year out with her.
There were metaphoiical icicles upon
the edges of the card receiver that met
him at the door, and the atmosphere
grew colder and colder as he advanced
into the parlor with a confident smile.
The young lady received him with
ten-degrees-below-zero-and still falling
air that made his heart take the elevator
upon the down trip. But he put on
bold face and asked cheerily:
pheasant Christmas, suppose, dear?"
Eyes, Mr.. -, very"
"Did you-er--er-receive-
little gift"
eyes, Mr.. -, received it."
at was packed all right then, was it?"
eyes, Mr.. -, it was packed all
right. In fact, it was packed a little too
well to have needed packing at all"
And the smile she smOle as she spoke
would have frozen hoky poky.
"Why-er-what do you mean?' he
faltered.
Thrusting aside the portiere she pushed
the box before him.
The astute dealer had carefully wrap
ped each and every single broken bit in
tissue paper by itself before boxing the
pile.-Cncinnati Commercial Gazette.
