FISHING IN CHINA.
How the Piscatorial Art is practiced
by Cunning Celestials.

In this country the fisherman is a
man who uses hook and line or the net
in following his profession and folks
would stare with wonder to see him
start off with flock of birds to help in
catching fish. Yet this is done in
China. There the Chinaman may be
seen in his sampan surrounded by cor
morants which have been trained to
dash into the water at his order, seize
the fish and bring them to the boat.
Should cormorant capture fish too
large for it to carry alone, one of its
companions will go to its assistance,
and together they will bring it in
If the Chinaman wishes to catch tur-
ties he will do SO with the aid of suck
ing fish or remora. This fish has on
top of its head long disk or sucker by
which it attached itself beneath NOV
ing objects such as sharks, whales, and
the bottoms of ships rather than make
the effort necessary to independent
movement.
The fisherman fastens the remora to
a long cord tied to brass ring about
its tail, and when he reaches the turtle
ground puts it overheard, taking care
to keep it from the bottom of the boat.
When a turtle passes near the remora
darts beneath him and fastens to his
shell. Struggle as he will the turtle
cannot loosen the grip of the sucker,
and the Chinaman has only TO haul in
on the line, bring the turtle up to the
boat, and take him aboard. - Washing

1899 was S45.25 a month for men and
S3s. IA month for women. In Massa-

chusetts averaging S51.4l in Rhode

Columbia, an average of S64 month.

than any other of the States.

1t Was Scratched.

"Years ago in California; said a
western man, ian acquaintance of mine
was on stagecoach that a pair OF
bandits went through. The IA passen-
gers were all made to get out and stand
in row, with their hands high over
their heads. One burly rufiian stood
guard over them with double barreled
shotgun, while the other engaged in
the pleasing task of relieving them OF
their valuables and spare cash.
my friend was nearest the man with
the shotgun. While the ceremonies
were in progress his nose began to itch,
and instinctiyely he started to lower
his hand to scratch it. Hands up,
there!' came the stern order, and his
hand went automatically back into
place. But that itching redoubled
and again he essayed the relieveful
scratch.
/" Say, what's the matter with you,
anyhow? demanded the highwayman.
Are you wishful to become a lead
minep' My nose itches SO can't stand
it any longer tearfully explained my
friend. 4 simply have got to scartch
it, No, you hain't,' ungrammatically
corrected the knight of the road,
'cause I'll do it for you.'
"And with that he proceeded to
scratch the offending nasal organ with
the muzzie of his shotgun. You can
wager your shoes that that particular
nose stopped itching with great abrupt
ness.u

A New Years Guide.

There is one book every one should
make an effort to get, for the new year
1t contains simple and valuable hints
concerning health, many amusing
anecdotes, and much general informa-
ton. We refer to Hostetter's Almanac,
published by the Hostetter Co., Pitts
burgh, Pa. 1t will prove valuable to
any household. Sixty employees are
kept at work on this valuable book.
The issue for 1901 will be over eight
millions, printed in the English, Ger
man, French, Welsh, Norwegian,
Swedish, Holland, Bohemian and Span
ish languages. 1t contains proof of the
efficacy of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the great remedy prepared by the pub
fishers, and is worthy of careful pres
ervation. The almanac may be OBJ
tanned free of cost, at any druggist or
general dealer in the country.

1t is stated that Great Britain desires
tn purchase 80, 600 horses in this coun-
try during the next six months for the
nse of the army in South Africa. Thus
IL is that SO long as we manageto be at
neace with all nations we make money
out of the quarrels of other people.
War is waste and waste makes markets.
The mortality of horses in the South
African war has been frightful and the
limited States seems to be the only
countrv in the world where horses
suitable for army service can be OBJ
tained in any considerable number.
We do not know whether there are
many animals remaining on this Coast
which can fulfill the requirements OF
army service, but if there are they VIII
doubtless find prompt market at good
prices. although the natural point oil
shipment for South Africa would be
from Atlantic ports. As things look
now there is hardly any branch OF agri
culture which promises more certain
and satisfactory returns than the breed
ing of horses and mules for army ser
vice. Since the peace conference at
The Hague the demand for all sorts OF
war material has been very brisk and
there is no prospect Of any falling OH.

Things to Forget.
ton POsf

Forgetting has its pleasures, because
it permits the closing of the minds
eyes to harsh experiences and depress-
ing incidents The blues are COM
mon complaint. If women are most
affected with them they are most dis
astrous to men. They come at differ
ent times and in different ways to
every one. They are the lowlands of
life, full of miasma, through which all
travellers must pass; some oftener than
others. The blues feed upon the blues.
Miasma breeds miasma. The way to
get rid of the dumps is when one is in
the lowest spirits to call up before the
mental vision memories of the bright
est hour. On the contrary, defeat is
emphasized and despair made peren-
nial by the remembrances of other de-
feats and past, despairing moments.
1t is not a crime 10 fail, but it is a
crime against ones better nature to
brood upon failures. The fellow who
forgets failures may succeed. He GER
tainly will not if he goes into every
new battle cowed and covering at the
recollection of past defeats. Dwellers
in a swamp grow to have the lifeless
look of the lowlands. Remembrance
of the blues makes one blue. No man
is ever born a pessimist. He becomes
one by forgetting the wrong thing :
Exchange.

Adopted by The National Irrigation
Congress.

I'VE hail with satisfaction the fact
that both OF the great political parties
of the nation in the last campaign de
clared in favor of the reclamation o.
arid America, in order that settlers
might build homes on the public do
main, and to that end we urge upon
Congress that national appropriations
commensurate with the magnitude OF
the problem should be made for the
preservation of the forests and the re-
forestation of denuded areas as natural
storage reservoirs and for the con-
strnction by the National Government
as part of its policy of internal i'm
provement of storage reservoirs and
other works for flood protection and to
save for use in aid of navigation and
irrigation the waters which now run
to waste and for the development of
artesian and subterranean sources of
water supply.
''fhe waters of all streams should
forever remain subject to public con-
troll and the right of the use of water
for irrigation should inhere in the
land irrigated, and beneficial use be
the basis of measure and the limit of
the right.
"The work of building the reservoirs
necessary to store the floods should be
done directly by the government under
existing statutes relating to the en-
ploymens of labor and hours of work
and under laws that will give to all
American citizens free and equal op-
portunity to get first employment,
and then home on the land.
ave commend the efficient work of
the various bureaus of the national
government in the investigation of the
physical and legal problems and other
conditions relating to irrigation and in
promoting the adoption of more effec-
tive laws, customs and methods or ir-
rigated agriculture, and urge upon
Congress the necessity of providing lib
eral appropriations for this important
work"
The holding of the National Irriga-
ton Congress in the East, as it turned
out, was wise move. The people of
that half of the country have had the
subject of national irrigation brought
home to them in a manner not other
wise possible. The far-reaching i'm
portance of the problem has been pre-
sented to them and a genuine interest
has been awakened. Instead of find
ing opposition in the East, the Con-
gress found that eastern men of prom
inenee were more than interested in a
proposition which promised an in
creased western population of millions
of people.
As the 'enemy's country has been
invaded, the myth of eastern opposi-
tion has faded away and its people are
found to be anxious to see inaugurated
a national policy of western arid land
reclamation.
The western delegates went home
with the feeling that they have the
hearty support of eastern interests in
securing action which will open to set
Element half continent, capable OF
supporting fifty million people. They
cannot but feel that this support is
growing; that that national action
would meet such western develop
ment as would increase the national
wealth beyond measure.

1t has been estimated by competent

than 81 an acre.
