THE "HALF-CENT-' MAN,

From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston Globe.
The biggest, best and most expensive
ly furnished house in the town of Winter
porte, Me-, is owned and occupied by Da-
vid Heagon Smith, a big blue-eyed yam
kee, who started out as a poor boy and
earned his money and his reputation
among the granite quarries of Penobscot
Bay. Though Mr.. Smith was always gem
erous, giving literally to church and char
ity, he has been known among his friends
as the "half-cent man" for nearly thirty
years.
Beginning as a drag tender young Smith
worked his way up, and in 1870 was APP
pointed general manager of the quarres
on Dix Island, nine miles southwest of
Roekland. At that time the Dix Island
Granite Company, for which Mr. Smith
worked, had just taken the contract TO
quarry and cut the stone for the New
York postofice. Stonecutters and black
smiths received $3.50 a day for eight hours
work, the United States paid the bills,
and everybody connected with the work
was prosperous. The first set pay rolls
that was made out came back from Wash
ington for revision. At $3.50 day a fun
days wages came out in even change,
and so did a half day. The trouble was
in the fourths. A quarter of a days paw
was S712 cents, and three quarters of a
day was $2.621z, ana while the government
is honest, it cannot and will not counte-
nance the splitting of cents in the wages
of anybody.
When the matter was explained there
was a solemn meeting held in the COM
pany's Office. which was attended by c.
P. Dixon of New York city, the company's
treasurer; Alfred b. Mulett United
States supervising architect; two or thre,

and a small army of local bosses. Mr..
Mullett proposed to divide the fractions
equally on the quarters, giving the quar-
ter of a day man IS cents and the three
quarters of a day man see. Mr.. Dixon
was about 10 accede to the idea when
Mr. Smith broke in, ridicullng the idea OF

TAGGED GOLDFISH.
Registered Denizens of the Deep in
Which the Fish COmmissioncrs
Have an Interest.


From the Boston Daily Globe
An experiment which is being viewed
with the keenest interest by the fishermen
along the Atlantic coast is now being. car
ried on at the United States fish-hatching
station at Woods Holl under the super
vision of Commissioner ]. ]. Brice.
For years and ever since the establish
ment of a fish-hatching station at Woods
Hou continuous observations have been
made through the year in reference TO the
habits, abundance, and movements of the
important fishes of the New England
coast. At this station as at ell others
the product has been from time to time Sc
rously affected by the presence of para
site animals and diseases peculiar to the
finny tribes. OF the food fish, the cod
have perhaps suffered as much from the
parasite animals as any food fish prona-
gated at this station.
The cases have been given careful study
by scientists, and Investigations carried on
on an extensive scale. The results of The
investigations have been most gratifying
to all concerned, and it is evidently the in
tention of the government TO make this
station the most important one on the At
lantic coast. utilizing the excellent facill-
ties here offered 10 the fullest extent
While the habits of all kinds of food fish
have been given careful study by the
scientists, that of the cod is now receiving
special attention.
With view to securing more definite in
formation regarding some important
points concerning the cod the commission
have begun to turn loose in the waters Of
Vineyard Sound several hundred cod
which In weight vary from six to twenty
pounds. The fish were procured from the
fishermen in the vicinity and stripped Of
their spawn at this station. Before be-
ing released a numbered tag is fastened to
each of the fish. The tag is a small piece
of copper or tin, and is securely fastened
by copper wire TO the dorsal, anal or eau
dial fins.
Commissioner Brice has Issued circulars
and sent them to the fishermen and deal
ers, urgently requesting them, when a cod
having such tag comes into their hands.
70 remove the tag aud forward it to the
United States Fish Commission, either at
Washington or at Woods HoIl. The COM
mission also request that the following in
formation concerning the fish be sent to
them:
Date when caught. on what grounds
taken, weight before being dressed, total
length from end Of nose 10 end OF tail,

whether male or female, and whether eggs
or nit were ripe, large but not ripe, or
immature; also the position OF the tag.
This inquiry will, it is expected, prove
of practical interest. by showing, among
other things, the rate of growth of the
cod, the frequency of its spawning, ana
the extent to which the individual fish mi
crate, and the assistance of the general
public in fishing towns is asked in order
10 make the experiment fully successful.
AS all the fish tagged and liberated by
the commissioners viii be caught in Vine
yard sound and the adjacent waters, it
viii not be a difficult matter to release
them on their natural spawning grounds.
The fish which are tagged have to be
handled carefully and skilfuliy, both be-
fore and after they are brought to the
station. AS Goldfish do not live for a
great length of time after they are taken
out of their native element it is only the
nearby fishermen who engage in the bust
ness of catching them. Among the fish
thus far liberated are several that tipped
the scales at over a dozen pounds. AS
soon as they were tagged they were put
into big tank and taken far out into the
sound and released.
The process of tagging these fish is quite
interes ting and requires the services Of
two skilled operators. A small hole is
made through the dorsal anal or caudal
ms, through which small copper wire
is passed. To this wire are attached the
tags which are about one inch in length,
one-half inch in width and about the thick
ness of writing paper. The numbers are
stamped in the middle. A record of the
fish released is kept in a book especially
designed for that purpose.
The work of liberating a sufficient num-
Der of these large fish will not be finished
before next spring, as the commissioners
wish to give the experiment a good trial,
and besides 1T is not easy matter to get
just such fish are suitable for the pur-
pose at this time of the year.
