what she has done, where she has

pages, says the young woman, never
agree and are usually fiat contradic-
tons of each other. The silver lining
Of the cloud of pessimism which such

wise engender is that she has noticed
that when she predicts and expects Il
gloomy day, filed with disagreeable
duties or monotonous dullness, the
opposite page is sure to glimmer with
pleasant surprises-calls from pleasant
people, letters from absent friends,
invitations Of an especially tempting
character and all sorts of unlocked
for enjoyment. The writer of the
diary says she finds it an excellent
antidote for undue elation Of spirits
and q check to despair. When she
feels "dowr" she can turn to her blue
days and see how veil they turned out,

Where Fish Spend the Winter.

James B. Church, OF Tivertor,
Rhode Island, a recognized authority
on fish and their habits. thus writes:
Fish are, except the birds. the best
pilots in the world. Either the birds
or fish know more when asleep about
plotting than a man pilot does when
awake. Now, as to the habits of fish.
They come or the coast in the spring,
when the migratory instinct starts
them out o. their winters sleep. In
winter they are in a dormant state,
like the bear, skunk and Woodchuck.
The old theory that fish migrated
south is all wrong. Fish simply leave
the coast and 60 off shore on the
northern edge Of the gulf stream, get
Into water Of the riglt temperature
and go into winter quarters. Before
the time comes for them to start on
their annual pilgrimage for their WIN
ter quarters they have taken on
good coat Of fat. 1t Is under their
skin, and their stomach Is lined with
it. and it is also all through their
bodies when they arrive at the spot
that they have selected for their win
ter home. Then there grows over
their eyes white film, and their vent
closes, and so they remain until the
time comes for them to start for their
summer home.
