things of former time, and set their faces
towards what is to come.

site directions, as if to guard the past and
watch the future. From the days of
Numa, 1900 years ago. men have not
ceased, in one way or other, to observe
the first day of the year. or old, in Rome,
the day was sacred to the god of doors.

Gustav Kobbe writes an article en-
titled ION the Grand Banks and Else

says:
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand Banks, the hand-llners on
the Western Bank and Quiro. These
hand-liners are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, ard the men fish with
hand-lines, one man and two lines TO
dory. The hand-liner sits In the
middle of his dory, with II compart-
ment in its stern, another I'm It's bow,
for his catch. When you see the bow
sticking far up in the air, you know
the fisherman has his stern-load. Then.
as fish after fish flashes into the other
compartment, the bow settles, and
when the dory Is on an even keel the
hand-liner pulls back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh her
ring, mackerel, and squid; the hand
liners with salt clans. The catch OF
both Is split and sailed, and the vessel
has full fare" or catch, when she
her salt-and is full of fish. A t'aw-
ler's voyage lasts about eight weeks; a
hand-liner's, eleven.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First, the cap

stores, salt and half the bait; and the
other half to the captain and crew In
equal shares, which run from $40 to

is paid according to what he catches,
