Young Pelican, knowing the town,

Chimmie, a little, limp, whimpering
dog in his arms, more ragged, more
forlorn, if possible, than the street waif
who held it, came over accordingly
from the opposite side of Post street,
where he had been stationed to sell
papers to passers-by; and two urchins
stood close up against the area railing
of a swell club downtown and inhaled
the fragrance of the dinner floating out
from the hot den where the chef was
deep in preparation of the club turkey

In addition to the two acres ON

Referring to Gen. Woodford. Ell LIBERAL says:
"The best way to show that there is truth in tho
friendly words OF diplomacy Is not to surrender
q part, large or small, of our right, nor to yield.

There can be no friendship between him who

The reelection Of Herr Kathrein as President
OF the Reichsrath again excited tho fury OF tho

"tlunkey" and "Knave.' led the chorus Of

Herr kathrein tried to shout down his oppo-

to DO a repetition Of the last one.

When the great modern American schooner
came out with its three and four and some
times more lofty masts-for some of these
vessels sticks eighty to ninety feet in length
were required-the demand for mast timber was
greatly Increased. With the extensive demand
prices went up. and built-up masts were made
for the big schooners: masts were made not
hooped. but bottled together. and such masts
proved perfectly serviceable.
Most OF the deep-waters ships built nowadays,
however. have lower masts OF iron. The ships
themselves are mado OF iron and of steel. and
their masts are made of the same material

BAIT FOR
a Custom on Fishing smAcks That Has Given
- ProVerb to Landsnen.

- ProNerb to Landsmen.
The old-time saving. that a man must fish %
cut bait, or. as it is sometime put, thathe must
fish, cut bait, or go ashore, meant originally
that there must DO no idlers aboard fishing
smacks. Every big fishing vessel carries .
poGy mill. which stands upright, with a hopper
on top. At the bottom OF this hopper there 10
a horizontal cylinder. set with several series of
little knives in oblique lines. the cylinder with
its cutter being turned by means OF q handle
attached to a weighted wheel at one end. The
pogy mill is used to cut bait for cumming. The
menhaden. or moss bunEcrs. are thrown into
the hopper. the crank is turned. and the chopped.
up fish falls from a spout in front into what
ever is placed to receive it. The menhaden 10
an exceedingly oily fish. tho mill works easily.
and this form OF cutting bait is easy work. On
smaller vessels on which a pogy mill Is not
carried, the bait for cumming is cut up with0
Ratchet on a choppinG block placed on deck.
This chopped.up oily bait, thrown overheard
and floating away on the tide, makes a slick"
on the water. which attracts along its course
the fish that encounter II. Fish swimming
turn often. and follow it up for more, until
they come TO whore the fishermen are in thelR
boats with baitcd hooks. waiting for them.
When the fishermen go OF from the smack In
their dortes they carry the chopped-up bait
required, II they use the cumming bait 10
may be that they put it over into the water By
the spoonful at a time, using "A big wooden
spoon for this purpose. II is used thus coma
paratively sparingly. not because II is scarce or
costly. but because a little may be enough. ON
account OF its exceeding oiliness. Tho baits
10 be used on the hooks are cut from the side OF
a fish. A man sits on the deck OF the smack.
with a board on the hatch cover or some other
convenient elevation. and slices Off the sides of
a rsh with a knife, and then cuts the side into
pieces OF suitable size.
As to who shall cut bait, that may depend on
circumstances. II the men are fishing on
shares, where every man gets SO much a hsh.
every man cuts his own bait. II the men are
working by the month. II may be that one man
will be assigned 10 cut the bait. II the fish were
biting fast. fishermen couldn't stop to cut bait;
there would then bc somebody aboard TO cut
halt for them, and when they returned to the
smack with tsh they would find bait ready.
But whatever the arrangement as 10 cutting
the bait may be the substantial meaning of the
saying IL there must be no idlers. When the
hsh bite every man must work.
