Habits of tbc ShoJ

OF the sea life of the anadromous
fishes, that is, those that come from
the sea and ascend rivers to spawn,
and afterwGrd return to the sea again,
but little is practically known. The
shnd, sturgeon and salmon nIe ex-
amples of such fishes.
The shad that seek the Hudson, for
example, come in from the ocean in
the spring and pass up the river to
their spawning grounds. They take
no food IN fresh water, and, owing to
this fact, and to the exhaustion due
to spawning, many of them die. Those
that escape the nets of the fishermen
and survive the exhaustion Of nature
return to the sea again late in Che
summer or early in the fall. A few
remain here through the winter, but
1t is comparatively very few that do
so. What becomes of the shad after
they go ont to sea nobody knows.
They have never been met with
In any great body at sea.
They congregate in schools, and do
this from almost the beginning of their
existence; and they are supposed to
remain in schools after they go to sea.
But where they go, or whether they
remain, each river family or school
10y it.elf perhaps in deep water in the
ocean not very far from the river
whence it came, or whether the sew
eral schools meet in one vast school
covering n wide extent or territory,
no one can tell.
As regards salmon, it seems certain
that some of these, ut least, spend
their sea life not far away from their
rivers, for salmon have been caught Mt
sen in northern waters of the New

haddock or halibut Sci entifc Amer

Irish of German Descent

Many people have been surprised to
learn that there are in Baltimore Ger
man lrishmen-that is, persons de-
scended from German parents in Ire
land. Such 1rishmen of German orr
gin, are, however, also to be found
elsewhere; thus, for instance, Bishop
Thomas Bonacum, of Omaha, Is an
lrishman of German descent. To H.
lutrate the reason for this the follow
ing facts might be of service: In the
year 100 great number of Palatines
were induced to emigrate; partly on
account of the distress consequent on
the French war, but more so on ac-
count of the glowing accounts from
the first German immigrants to Penn
sylvania. They came in great NUN
bers to Rotterdam, depending for as
sistance on England, whence already
IN l7OS great number of Palatines
had been transported to New York.
They came, however, in too great
numbers, and there were no vessels 10
convey them from Rotterdam to Lon
don. For some time they were cared
for In the former city, but when this
proved too great n burden England
had them transported to London,
where they were housed and properly
cared for.
But on the 1st Of June the number
had grown to 10000, in consequence
of which England caused publication
to be made in Holland on June "a,
1909, that no new immigrants would
be thenceforth received. Neverthe-
less, until October, 1909, some 1000
more crossed over.
The expense of supporting these
Germans at "Greenwich Cam" near
London, was betrayed by large col
lections through committee, to which
the highest persons in the realm be-
longed. Queen Anne gave $500 daily.
But even for wealthy England this
burden soon became too great; there
fore, efforts were made to send these
people to America, and many of thom
went to Schoharie, in New York.
Many of them died, but there still
remained a large number, so that $500
Palatines were sent to Ireland, where
they settled in the County of LINER.

A Grateful FLY.

Once, while n man was eating hil
breakfast on a summer morning, be
saw fly stuck fast in the butter His
first idea was TO let it die by the point
OF his knife, but, being in the main o
kind hearted man, better thoughts
came 20 him, and he decided 30 save
its life. SO this kind, good man ten.
derby removed the fly, gently scraped
the butter off its legs, carefully wiped
it's wings with his table napkin, and,
softly stroking its little back, set it at
liberty.
That night the fly woke him. There
was n burglar. Ho was just putting
the last of the family silver into bus
basket, preparatory TO carrying it
away, but when he saw tho owner no
dropped the plumber and He'd through
the open window The ay which had
followed the man down stairs, buzzed
triumphnntly over the basket and
then settled coufdingly upon hin
hand.
And, looking ct it closely, the man,
by a. certain shiny look that fingered
yet about its body, knew that it was
the same fly that he hal rescued from
the butter. He had saved its life and
in gratitude it had saved his silver.
Thus we see that kind actions rare.

HERE AND NOW.

Here in the heart OF this world,
Here in the noise and din,
Here whore our spirits were hurled
To battle with sorrow and sin.
This is the place and the spot,
For knowledge OF infinite things;
This Is the kingdom where Thought
Can conquer tho prowcss OF kings.
Wait for no heavenly life,
Seek for no temple alone;
Hero in ths midst Of tho strife
Know what tho sagcs have known.
See what the Perfect One saw,
God in the.depth OF each soul
God as tho Light and the Law,
God as beginning and goal.
Earth is one chamber o; heaven,
Death is no grander than birth;
JOY is the life that is given,
Strive for perfection on earth.
Here in the turmoil and roar,
Show what it is to be calm;
Show how the spirit can soar,
And bring back its healing and balm.
Stand not aloot or apart,
Plunge in the thick of the fight;
There in tho street and the mart,
That is the place to do right.
Not in some clOister or cave,
Not in some kingdom above;
Here on this side of the grave,
Here should we labor and love.

Let the storm winds blow their pest

Lifts the lilies 10 the light.

Goodnight

Let the wild winds beat the birds
From each lonely nest,

Parts the clouds till heavens in sight;

less The operation of divcsting these
creatures of their shells is cruel in the
extreme. The tortoise shell that we
value is merely the scales that cover
the bony shield of the turtle. These
scales are thirteen in number, and a
large turtle will furnish about eight
pounds. In order to detach this shell
from the living animal (for they don't

would be externinated in a few years.
they fasten him down, and then put
dry leaves and grass under his back, to
which they set fire. The heat causes
the scales to separate at the joints.
They then insert large knife beneath
them and lift the shell from the back.
