And this region, SO favored by na-
ture, owes much of its character and In
terest to its history as we'll. Settled lat
or than the seacoast, the western part
of tho state was in its beginnings made
up of more varied elements than the
eastern. From the valley Of tho Connect
icut colonists pushed through tho noun
tain CUPS into that of tho Housatonic;
the hills attracted settlers from the fiat
end sandy hands Of Cape God, while the
Dutch from New York have left in
name and character thoir impress upon
tho Berkshire people Of today. Spiritual
and intellectual forces were largely
prominent in the laying Of its founda-
tions, and such forces have contributed
and continued their influences ever
since.

names as Eliot and Sergeant, founded
Stockbridge. Jonathan Edwards here
spent tho years which represented the
prime and fulmess Of his powers
Ephraim Williams, the fighter in the
French and Indian war, dying on the
battlefield, left his fortune to plant and
endow the college which bears his name

The electric candle is in great request
in England for tho lighting and decora-
tion OF dining and other tables. An in
genious device for lighting the candles Is
provided by placing small pads under
tho tablecloth, and taking tho current
from them by means of two pin points
in the base Of the candlestick. Tho can
dies Of course are extinguished ON being
taken from tho table and arc relighted
when they are replaced in the proper po-
sition. They are SO arranged that the

sARoiNE FISHING.
The Process From the Time of the Catch
to the Canning and Cooking.

The Process From the Time of the Catch
to the Canning and Cooking.
Toward the end Of April the sardine
fishermen along tho coast of Brittany
begin to watch for tho bubbling of the
sardines on tho surface of the sea. For
they know that vast shoals Of the little
fish are ON their way from the coast of
Africa up through the bay of Biscay to
the north. and that they must be caught,
if at all, as they pass. When any one
sees the water agitated, word spreads
rapidly and the boats put out from the
shore and race to the shoal.
When the net is extended, the water
is "baited" by throwing balls of
"roque" into it. As the bait dissolves
and sinks the sardines rise and remain
long after to nibble it, and their doom
is sealed. For this reason ''roque" is n
most important part of the sardine fish
erman's outfit. 1t is made Of the eggs of
mackerel and Goldfish mixed with clay,
and is rather expensive, costing from 30
shillings to 70 shillings barrel
Within the curing factories or can
neries everything is hustle and confu-
sion, for there must not be n moment s
delay in cleaning the fish. All night
long the work is carried ON by the light
of blazing oil wicks. The sardines arc
spread out on benches or tables, where
salt is busted over them. Then the
women go along and snip off the heads
with great scissors.
Tho little fiat boxes so we'll known
to commerce are taken one by one and
filled from the glistening pile of fish,
after which pure olive oil from the
province of Bari, in Italy, is poured
over them and the tops soldored on.
In the meantime great caldron of
hot water has been raised to tho boiling
point ready for the real operation of
cooking the fish. Tho sealed boxes are
thrown into it and left for two or three
hours. If any oil appears ON the top of
the water, tho master workman knows
that some can has not been properly
soldered, and the loss is charged up tc
the man who did tho work. A good
workman will not lose more than two
or three boxes iii 100 New York Re-

last time, darling" pleaded Tom.
Natalia put up her little tear stained
face, and Tom silently kissed her and
went away.
That month passed only too quickly
for poor Tom, who looked with dread
toward tho coming Of tho steamer. He
studiously avoided Natalia, denying
himself the regular afternoon walk to
the Indian river, which is the event of
the day to all the white people at Sitka.
He kept close to his rooms when not on
board ship, cursing tho mistake Of his
life which was so soon to make an I'M
willing bridegroom Of him.
To Natalia, whose soft, brown eyes
were red with weeping, life seemed q
dreary blank now that the daily visits
of Tom had ceased There appeared in
her mental horizon nothing for which to
live. She wondered how she had exist
cd before he came to Sitka. But then
she had been busy with her lessons, and
now, in the idea of her old fashioned
father, her simple education was COM
plete, and it was time for her to marry
o.ie OF tho Russian lads who sought her
hand.

was seen rushing madly to Natalia's
home. The neighbors, who of course had
noted his long absence, We're greatly sur
prised.
"Natalia, Natalia," he cried as soon
as she camo into the quaint drawing
room to receive him. "I've come to ask
you to be my vito. Dearest, say yes at
once"
"Why, Tom, are you crazy? What has
become Of Alice?"
"Well, by George, Natalia, she is
married. Just think of it--married
And I am the happiest man on earth.

SEQ. soon after she left Washington she

to make it also wedding trip and break
| the news to mo i'll person. Rather awk-
ward, you might think, but congratu-
lated them with all my heart and thank
cd my stars for my freedom. Come, lit

A MANS LAUGH NEVER CHANGES.
How the Tact Was illustrated by an In
cident In Chicago.

How tho Tact Was Illustrated by an In
cident In Chicago.
If tho Bertillion system of identified
ton had a photographic record of the
laughs Of criminals it would probably
be as near perfect as an Identification
system can be. The fact that man comes
into tho world wailing has been regard
ed as sort of prophecy of the truth
that as q rule the sorrows of life out
number the joys when all the returns
arc in, but an optimist might see an
opposite Significance in the fact that a
mans laugh remains the same through
all tho changing years. When the cares
of manhood succeed to the happy go
lucky days of boyhood, this laugh of his
may be called into use, as it were, very
little, but when it is put into operation
it is the same old laugh, and every boy
hood friend would know it instantly.
An old soldier who fought through
the war with Fred Hartwick, who drives
o mail collectors wagon on the North
Side, happened to be in Chicago for
week not long since. He heard that Mr..
Hartwick was on its postmaster's staff
end went to the federal building to find
him. He took his station at point past
which all the carriers filed to report for
duty, and as Hartwick came along some
ono pointed him out.
Without disclosing his own identity
the veteran approached and began ask
ing Hartwick If he remembered various
incidents in the history Of their regi
ment during the war OF course he did
and very soon fell into conversation, Or
ganizing kind of campfire meeting
between themselves. Ono. member of
tho regiment was in business in New
Orleans, another was in bank down
IN the state, several were farming, one
was the local manager for one of the
big commercial agencies in one of tho
large cities, and so ON.
Several times Hartwick asked his old
companion at arms his name, but the
latter only smiled and went ON with tho
conversation. Finally, when it became
necessary for them to separate, rs Hart
wick was obliged to go out ON his run,
tho man laughed outright as he said
well, Fred, never thought you'd
forget me after what we went through
together. +"
"The minute he laughed, said Mr.
Hartwick, in relating the incident, II
knew just who he was and all about
him, but hadn't seen him for 80 years,
and he had changed SO I couldn't have
told him from Adam. His laugh had
grown older, too, of course. but it was
the same old laugh. "--Chicago Trib-

Tho Tyranny of Etiquette.

1t is impossible to read oven tho least
dogmatic books ON etiquette without be-
ing oppressed with the conviction that
o heavy and binding addition has been
made to tho code Of morals in the by
laws which have to do with visiting
cards, invitations, conventional phrases
and other minor but vigorous formulas.
It has been reiterated by writer's ON these
subjects that not single rule of ETH
quette is arbitrary, but that all prove
their reason in the very nature of things,
and that those who disregard thom sim
ply show their own lack Of insight and
inoapacity to appreciate genuine refine
ment.
While this is all very we'll for society
people pure and simple or those who
havo other definite and absorbing work
in lifo compliance with all the thousand
and ono trifling points # etiquette is an
utter impossibility. Tho question then
becomes, Shall such persons be excluded
from society or be allowed to enter it on
their own terms? Society might be SO
conducted us to make Of 1t charming
and delightful recreation instead Of
tyrannical business, and those who see
this clearly can do much toward making
it 80. Philadelphia Press.

about tho heart is tho amount of work
