FISHERMEN or LABRADOR.
They Have Picturesque Little Boats with

They Have Picturesque Little Boats with
Coiored Sails.
A Labrador fshing-stage usually con-
sists Of a long, low frame-house, and
little one-room huts, or 'tilts," as they
are called. The house is used as store
and dwelling for the agent of the New
foundland merchant who has fitted up
the stage. All the fishermen who oc-
cupy the tits work for the merchant,
and are paid for their fish in provisions
from the store
The tits are like those seen in the
Newfoundland fishing and mining out
posts (every settlement in Newfound-
land except st. Johns is an outpost)
The sides are logs set upright and sup
porting sod-covered roofs-wretched
abodes at the best. Along the
Straits of Belle Isle the Labrador
coast is fringed with strip of coarse
grass land. and here you may see an
occasional small vegetable-garden sur
rounded by fish-net for fence. At
Blanc Sablon l saw a desolate little
burying-ground amid the swaying
rushes. Near by lay couple of worn
out boats, bottom up, and nets spread
over the ground to dry. Here, too, 1
saw for the first time the dapper little
Labrador gasher-a small fishing
craft not much larger than dory,
but with sharp prov and stern, and
two masts fitted with reddish-brown
sails. These are telling bits of color
when the CASHIERS skim over the deep
blue water, with the foam streaking
along their quarters and glittering in
their wake. Altogether it was varied
scene; the headland, from staff on
which there futtered the flag of
the merchant who owned the out
fit" the CASHIERS dashing in and out
among the punts and jacks(stoutly built
two stickers larger than the gashers);
ishing-schooner with furled sails, but
with toil-stained nets streaming from
her spars in an endless variety of lights
and shadows, according as the meshes
twisted or bulged in the breeze; and
in the distance the exquisite greenland
white spires of an iceberg. A note of
toll drones through it all, however; for
women are saving and chopping wood
while the men are hauling the nets. A
curious implement Of fishing in these
waters is a spy-glass with plain win
dow-glass in place of lens. A man in
the bow of fishing-boat thrusts the
glass in the water, and, peering
through it. discovers whether there are
fish enough on the bottom to make it
worth while to anchor, for anch oring
in deep water is a toilsome matter

FRANKS OF WOOD RATS,

Two OF the Sociable Little Creatures Play
Some Queer Tricks.
The latest narrative Of the queer do
ings of the Florida wood-rat, the best.
known Of them all, comes from Mrs. C.
F. Latham, of Niece, Florida. Previous
to the destruction by fire of the old
Oak Lodge, year before last, it was
often visited by a pair Of very sociable
and quite harmless wood-rats, who
nestled in o palmetto hut near by, and
made 1t their home until some cats
came into the family. The wood-rats
were big-eyed, handsome creatures
without the vicious look Of common
rat, with fine, yellowish-gray fur, white
feet and white under parts. Inasmuch
as they never destroyed anything save
pair of Mrs. Latham's shoe-strings,
which they had to cut in order to get
them out Of the eyelet-holes, they were
tolerated about the premises, and here
are some Of the queer things they did
They carried some watermelon seeds
from the lower floor and hid them up

stairs under Mr.. Baxter's pillow. In
the kitchen they found some cucumber
seeds, and from these they took table
spoonful and deposited them in the
pocket of Mr.. Baxter's vest, which hung
upstairs on nail. In one night they
took eighty-five pieces Of wood from q
box Of beehive fixtures and laid them
in corn box. The following night
they took about two quarts Of corn and
oats and put 1t into the box from which
the beehive fixtures came. Once Mrs.
Latham missed handful of pecans,
and they were so thoroughly hidden
that she never found them. About a
year later the rats realized that Mrs.
Latham had sgiven it up" and lol the
pecans suddenly appeared one day upon
her bed!-Prof. w. T. Hornaday, in st.
Nicholas.
