SHE WILL.

When the coming woman gets here
She viii offer up her seat,
For She knows the ill-Convericnce
or setting there like sneak.
She VIII offer her UMBRELLA
When there's rain or snow or slect,
For the ti1nid laddies dare not
Let it rain upon their feet
Sac Will help as i'll the wagon,
She will bait our fishing hook.
For the men are growing weaker,
You can tell that by look.
She will step into the water
That we may cross the brook;
For the deeds of Walter Raleigh
By her are meet o'erlooked.
She viii seize Il rail and rescue
When the bull cllases US;
For she knows the need Oh action
Instead OF so much - fuss,
She's bound to push the "heezy move
Ever eve and make no fuss,
For the children cannot live on
Politics after they are discussed.
She will run the locomotive,
Shovel coal and handle brakes.
She will stay at home and feed them
While they go and legislate.
She will level mound ard forest,
Garry bitters for the snakes,
Trust their honor a little longer,
Then think She'll pull up stakes.
She will march to bloody battle,
Snap her fingers at the hurts,
While the men arc tagging backward
And pulling on her skirts.

SARDINE FISHING.
The Process From The Time of
The Catch to The Can
ming And Cooking.

Towards the end of April the
sardine fishermen along the
coast of Brittany begin to watch
for the bubbling of the sardines
on the 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. Wher. 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 bait d. by throwing
balls of "rogue' into it. AS the
bait dissolves and sinks the sar-
dimes rise and remain long after
to nibble it, and their doom is
sealed. For this reason rogue"
is a most important part of the
sardine fsherman's outfit. 1t is
made of the eggs of inackerel ard
Goldfish mixed with clay, and is
rather expensive, costing from
Is shillings to 70 shillings a
barrel.
Within the curing factories or
canneries everything is hustle
and confusion, for there must not
be a moments delay in cleaning
the fish. All night long the
work is carried on by the light
of blazing oil wicks. The sar-
dimes are 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.
The 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, i'll Italy, is
poured over them and the tops
soldered on.
In the meantime a great cal
dron Of hot water has been raised
to the boiling point ready for the
real operation of cooking the
fish. The sealed boxes are
thrown into it aid left for two
or three hours. If any oil ap-
pears On the top of the water, the
master workman knows that
some can has not been properly
soldered, and the loss is charged
up to the man who did the work
A good workman will not lose
more than two or three boxes in

morning just before the war, as
my train drew up at Brandy

rushed up and addressed me as |
stepped to the ground: as you

He climbed the steps and raped
Oil the door, When he raped a
second time some wag inside
called out: "Come in!" There
were at least fifty passengers in
the car. He began at the front
seat, shaking hands with every
one clear to the back end, and
each, How dye do?"
and then, Flows yer fslks?" Of
course it was a regular circus for
the other passengers. He lived
forty miles in the country, and
had never seen a train before.
When he stepped off the car in
Washington | felt sorry for him;
but-will you believe it?-that
greenhorn is to day one OF the

and is reported to be worth over

Deep Sea Fishing.

especially for deep sea fishing
the United States Fish Commits
sion steamer, Albatross. Her
business is to follow ocean fish
from their summer to their win
ter habitat, and observe their
manner of life. This work in
cludes the collection of fish, mud
and shells, sometimes from Il
depth Of more than twenty-five
thousand feet. Such work re-
quires a heavy sinker and a
strong line, as we'll as the great
est ingenuity in the construction
and use of the instruments.
The electric light is sometimes
lowered eight hundred feet, at
which depth the illumination
becomes invisible from above.
Near the surface the shadows of
large fish attracted by the light
are cast up on the sea, with the
Wierdest effect. The light seems
to have a maddening influence
over some kinds of fish. Sharks
in particular will dart at it as at a
deadly foe. Not infrequently the
current "shocks" them, and the
dead bodies Of these victims OF
rage or curiosity float to the sur
face.
The operation of 'sounding'
or fishing at depth of tens of
thousands of feet requires nerve
and Judgment. The tension on
the steel wire must be constant
to prevent "kinking;;" and the
currents which would sweep the
wire under the bottom of the
ship must be carefully watched
for. Great patience is sone~
times needed to clear a line with
out kinking or losing any part
of it.
One interesting appliance is
the water specimen cup, which
is let down OH the soundirg-line,
and is SO arranged that the re-
sistance of the water keeps open
the valves of the cup during its
decent, and closes them during
| it's ascent. Water from any
given depth can thus be brought
to the surface for examination i'll
the laboratory of the Albatross,
or i'll Washington, where water
specimens are sometimes sent for
more elaborate analysis.
These water cups are strongly
built, to resist the enormous
pressure. One of the cur1os:ties
OH the Albatross is a heavy glass
globe filled with water. This
hollow glass ball was lowered to
so great depth that the pressure
literally forced the water through
tie pores of the glass till the ball
was filled. Because ofthis press
ure mercury bulbs Of deep sea
thermometers have to be closed
in secondary glass cases also
filled with mercury; otherwise
the readings of the thermometer
would be very imperfect-the
pressure sending the mercury
beyond the temperature point.
The AlbatrOsS has found life at
surprising depths, and her adven-
lures and researches arc as fas>
cinating as those of the Nautilus
in Jules Verne's "Twenty Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea"
with the advantage that the
stories Of the Albatross are true.

aiken in Time

Hoods Sarsaparilla has achieved great
success i'll warding off sickness which,
if allowed to progress, would have un-
dermined the whole system and given
disease strong foothold to cause much
suffering and even threaten death
Hoods Sarsaparilla has done all this
and even more. 1t has been taken in
thousands of cases which were thought
to be incurable, and after fair trial
has effected wonderful cures, bringing
health, strength and JOY to the afflicted
Another important point about Hood S
Sarsaparilla is that its cures are perma-
menent, because they start from the
solid foundation of purified, vitaiized
and enriched blood. But t is not what
we say but what Hood S Sarsaparilla
does that tells the story

Weather for August.

Hicks forecasts the weather for August
as follows. Warm weather will predomi-
nate, growing in heat until past the New
Moon on the Sth, it eliminates in more
storms about the 10th and 18th. A breath
of cooler air from the polar regions is likely
to come over most parts from these reac-
tionarY movements. About the 18th a
warm wave will originate in the west, low
and falling barometer will be observed, and
during the 10th to 10Th storms will touch
all sections in their progress to the east.
Great summer heat will prevail in all sec
tions east of the actual storm areas, but
this will break down as the storms pass
east, leaving more pleasant weather behind.
Rain will fall in many places. The 22d and
23rd bring reactionary perturbations, caus-
ing warmer, with low atmospheric pressure
and storminess. The Venus equinox is
now in force, and change to sudden cool is
likely to follow great heat and storms.
This will be especially SO during the storm
period, 2Sth to 31st. The month promises
to close with cooler weather prevailing gen.
orally. Earthquake tremors need not sur.
prise toward the close of the month.
