"LOBSTERIN."
4 Profitable Industry, Though DE-
cult To EoIIOM.

cult to FOLLOW.
One of the most profitable industries
down on tho coast of Maine is lobster
In" Il is Il lakorious occupation, and
those who iallow it have to endure much
hardship and exposure and many perils
from the sea. Lob.tcrs are caught on rocky
D2ttOm in traps" or pots, which ara
lnnde of hickory saplings after the fashion
Of oroCkery crate. At the two small
ends holes are arranged with spikes OF
flexible wood running 10 q focus, SO that
the lobster, tempted to enter by bait
hung from the center, finds it impossible
to get out. Tho most common bait are
Goldfish heads and fish which are too plen-
tiful and unpopular to be salable in mar
kct The pots are submerged in two or
three fathoms of water with stone sinkers,
and their location marked by short logs
vi wood fastened to them oy ropes and al
lowed to float on the surface.
Twice n day, at sunrise and sunset, the
pots are visited, and the Holsters are taken
out and thrown into chest in the boat,
with lot Of seaweed to keep them fresh
and give them something to chaw on. "
After the pots have all been emptied the
Holsters are all taken to a" large float, "
at some convenient spot, where they are
transferred to tank and kept until called
for.
Lobsterers who are convenient to towns
sell most of their catch in the local mar.
ket. Those who are working at distant
and isolated spots along the coast are Wis
tied every week or ten days by tugs fitted
up with largo tanks or reservoirs, capable
of holding from 10, 900 to Is, 200 Holsters.
These vessels patrol regularly up and
down the coast, and when their tanks are
full drop in at Boston or New York and
unload.
The life of the lobsterer is lonely as well
as dangerous. He generally lives alone in
cabin on u rocky island, cooks his own
meals of fish and bacon and spends his
days catching bait for his traps. Nearly
all of them have lobster farms" where
the understood Holsters and those with
spawn are imprisoned in salt water ponds
to grow and breed. The law protects the
traffic by imposing heavy fine upon ths
sale Of small oncs.-Chicago Record.

Dream and Reality.

There is this real distinction between
Tho dream and the waking statc-that
when awake know there is another con
dition, while in the dream l take no
thought of the waking state.
Awake, l know that l have been living
the fantastic dream life, and have come
out of it into real life completely els,
tinct from the other. am in II first state
and know there is a second. But when |
am dreaming have no thought OF anoth-
er state that / have como out OF and must
return to; do not feel that there is anoth
or existence, radically separated from THU
one. and l never compare the visions of
my dreams with my waking world, for l
know nothing of it, have the impression
of having always lived the life l am in,
which seems natural, and even II l ask
whether am not dreaming it is "a merely
verbal expression, with no accompanying
sense OF tho meaning CO it.
Another distinction, and the only abso-
lutcly clear one, is that while we always
wake from the dream we never wake from
the reality This is why we believe III tina
reality and not in the drcam.-M. Camille
Nelinand in Popular Science Monthly.

THE NAME.

Thou giv'st me no new name, and yet to mo
Upon thy lips my old, old name is new;
Many have called me thus, yet none who
drew
The color to my cheek save only thee,
Calling my name. Speak it but tenderly
And, 10, unsummoned tears oercloud the blue
Thou praisest in mine eyes. Can it be true
In si1nrle names there turks deep sorcery,
Or steals my name its glory from thy lipss
Or hast thou in the old new one scaled,
As in q shrine for my best gaze alone2
So to the chosen in tn Apocalypse
Was I.rcn a name hid in pure white stone,
To him alone by grace to be revealed!

 Floating snail.
 There is a small snail which is so fond of the sea that 1t never comes to land, and it builds such a capital boat for itself and it's eggs that while large ships are sinking and steamers are unable to face the storm it losses about in perfect safety.
 The little snail is of a violet color and is therefore called Ianthina. It has a small shell and there projects from the under part of the body long, tongue-like piece of flesh. This is tho raft, and it Is built upon most scientific principles, for it has compartments in it for air. It is broad and the air eom- partments are underneath, 50 that if cannot capsize.
 Moreover, the snail knows how to stow away it's cargo, for the oldest eggs and those which hatch the soonest are placed in the center and the light est and newest on the sides of the raft. The Ianthina fills it's own air com, partments by getting globule of air underneath it's head, the body is then curved downward beneath the raft, and. the head being tilted on one side, the air rushes in and fills the spaces. It feeds on beautiful little jelly fish. which has a fiat, raft-like form with a pretty little sail upon 1t, and they con- gregate in multitudes when the sea is calm.
 Sometimes specimens are washed up- on the nor awestern coast of France, and when they are handled they give put violet dye.

 Cat Commits Suicide.
 Grieved over the loss of her little ones, Tounette, a beautiful black An gora cat, put an end to her life most strangely.

 Going to the top floor of the tene- ment house the cat acted in a peculiar manner.
 She looked down, pondered a while. then deliberately leaped over and was dashed to death on the pavement be- low.
