rRAwrERs ON THE GRAND BANKS,
How tho Cod and Haltbut Are Taken by
the Small Vessels.

How tho Cod and Hanbut Arc Taken by
the Small Vessels.
Gustav Kobbe writes On article en-.
titled "On the Grand Banks and Else
where" for St. Nicholas. Mr.. Kobbe
says:
The trawlers are generally found on
the Grand Banks, the hand-liners on
the Western Bank and Quiro. These
hand-liners are smaller vessels with
fewer dories, and the men fish with
hand-lines, one man and two lines to
O dory. The hand-liner sits in the
middle of his dory, with a compart-
ment in its stern and another in its bow
for his catch. When you see the bow
sticking far up into 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-liners pull back to the vessel.
The trawlers bait with fresh herring,
mackerel and squid; the hand-liners
with salt clans. The.catch of both is
split and salted, and the vessel has a
full "fare," or catch, when che has
"wet her salt"-that is, used up all
her salt and is full of fish. A trawler's
voyage lasts about eight weeks; q
hand-liner's, eleven.
A trawler's crew receives no wages,
but fishes on shares. First, the cap
tain gets percentage; of the remain
der, one-half goes to the vessel, which
finds" that is, supplies the gear,
stores, salt and half the bait; aud the
other half to the captain and crew in
equal shares, which run from $110 to
$3.50, and even to $3.50.
But among the hand-liners each man
is paid according to what he catches,
the "fare" from each dory being
weighed as it is taken aboard. This
stimulates competition. - There is
Judgment in knowing where to fish
or how long to stay over q certain
spot; and even the quickness with
which line is hauled in will make o.

days fishing. 1t means something to
bo "high line," as they call the best
fishermen, at the end of voyage, and
those who win this distinction time
and again, as some do, become known
as "killers" and "big fishermen"
= The main catch on the Banks is cod
and halibut. There is also fleet Of
small American vessels which pursue
the merry swordfsh. Swordfshing is
good sport-whaling on small scale.
A man, dart in hand, stands in the
vessels bow, supported by semi
circular iron brace. When near enough
to the fish he lets fly the dart. A
swordfsh may weigh $50 pounds. One
can tow dory mile, and piece Of
the sword has been found driven
through the bottom of pilot boat.

Why Wood Crackles.

What causes wood to crackle when
it is ignited? Because the air expanded
by heat forces its way through the
pores of the wood with cracking
noise. Green wood makes less snap
ping than dry because the pores con.
tain less air, being filled with sap and
moisture, which extinguish the flame,
whereas the pores of dry wood are
filed with air, which supports combus.

WORDS.

II words could satisfy the heart,
The heart might find less care;
But words, like summer clouds, depart,
AndleaYe but empty air.
The heart, a pilgrim on the earth,
Finds often, when 1t needs,
That words are Of as little worth
AS just SO many weeds.
A little said-and truly said
Can deeper Joy impart
Than hosts of words that reach the head
But never touch the heart.
The voice that winds its sunny way
Alonely:home to cheer
Has oft theifewest. words to say,
But, oh, those few-how dear!

The Longest Ball on Record, with Con.
stant Relays of Musicians and Dancers.
What promises to be the longest ball
on record will soon be held in Brighton,
England, in the cause of charity. 1t is
said it will last, continuously, for three
days and three nights. Just how this
will be managed has not yet been
learned. It is possible, however, that
It can be kept going by careful ar
rangement of relays of musicians and
dancers who will reel off the waltzes,
mazurkas and schottisches one after
the other. Probably short interval
will be allowed in the daytime for rest,
and then the program resumed with in
creased ardor.
The entertainment, says the New
York Journal, is to be given in the town
hall, and the institution is to be bene-
ated by it as dispensary for the relief
Of the sick poor. There is long list Of
titled people among the patronesses,
Ind it is presumed that many members
of the nobility named will grace the oc-
casion by their presence. The duchess
of Teck is the greatest "altesse" on the
list, which also includes the countess Of
Munster, Baroness de Worms, Lady Ell
lis, Lady Pocock, and several score Of
the untitled gentry of the place. The
lord lieutenant Of the county, the mar
1uis of Abergavenny, is the nominal
head Of the affair, but whether the nu-
thorship of the idea is his Is not stated.

semble marble. The most beautiful
varieties ofmarb]e are initiated In such
manner that the imposture is only to
be detected after close examination.
The zinc is attached to the wall by q
cement invented for the purpose. The
surface of the zinc is enamelled SO as to
render it permanent and washable.
Tiles or any other form of mural COW
cring can be initiated as readily as
marble and the material is made in a
great variety of patterns.
It is claimed for this new departure
in decorative material that while it is
as permanent as tiles or marble, it is
much cheaper, and can be put on as
easily as ordinary wall paper. 1t can
be applied, too, to any surface, whether
fat, broken or sound, and any beading,
etc., can he embossed cn the metal to
complete a design or panel.

SENATOR kYLE's POSITION.
Denies That He Was Elected MS tn.
Result of a Deal.


Pierre, S. D., Feb. 20.-A meeting was
held Friday night of the republican
members of the legislature who as.
sisted in electing Senator Kyle, which
was addressed by leading republicans
of the state, who gave their sanction to
the acts of Thursday and who were fol-
lowed by the senator in an outline of
his position. He denied any deal or
change of views, but stated that he be.
lieved that, as the people of the country
had voted for tariff policy they should
not be disappointed, but given all the
assistance of both houses of congress
and the president in securing the enact
ment into law of such policy without
any riders of any kind on the bill. He
said that he would have taken the same
position If he had been elected by popu-
list votes and that he expected some diff
ferences on the floor of the senate with
his colleagues on such a policy. He de-
clared that he still reserved to himself
the right to vote as he saw fit on the sill
yer question and he was not in the least
changed on that question any more than
on the tariff
