FISHING in CHINA.

How the Piscatoria1 Art Is Practicea
by Cunning Ce'cstiaIs.
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 a flock of birds to helm
IN catching fish. Yet this is done in
China. There the Chinaman NAV be
seen in his sampan surrounded nv cor-
morants which have been trained to
dash into the water at his order seize
the fish and bring them to the boat
Should a cormorant capture fish too
large for 1t to carry alone, one of its
companions will go to its assistance
and together they will bring it in
Ii the Chinaman wishes to catch tur-
ties he will do so with the aid Of a
sucking fish or remora. This fish has
on top Of its head long disk or sucker
by which 1t attached itself beneath
moving objects such as sharks. whales
and the bottoms of ships rather than
make the eHort necessary to indepen.
dent movement.
The fisherman fastens the ramoro -
long cord tied to a brass ring abont
Its tail, and when he reaches the tur.
tie ground puts 1t overheard. taking
care to keep it from the bottom of tbo
boat. When a turtle passes near tbo
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 fine, bring the turtle nm
TO the boat, and take him aboard

Poor Los Religions Systan,

SO benign was the religious system
of the Indian that each department ~
the animal kingdom was provided with
a little divinity to look after its af.

Swan looked after all swans, the Snirit
OF the Great Turtle controlled all tur.
tledom, and so on through the list av.
cry kind of an animal having its own
protecting spirit to guard its interests
and punish its eenmies. These divini.
tles-who are under the control of tbo
Great Spirlt-felt great interest in
the human race, and any one of them
might become the protecting genius Of
any particular man.

We are gratlfed beyond measure
therefore, to record that Prof. PEABODY
of the Massachusetts Institute OF Iech-
nology, and the board of llfe-savlhg eA-
perts, of which he is president, nave
taken steps to veil the immodesty OF
the breeches buoy. At the last meethg
of the board it was recommended that
canvas bag skirt be furnished all sta
tions, to be used hereafter In taking
women ashore from shipwrecks.
Whether the skirt is to be founced,

stated. The garment is not Intended 10
take the place of the breeches buoy,
though heavens knows the cause OF
morality and good government would
be greatly advanced if something were
devised to supersede it, Therefore, the
b-s will be continued in use, shock
ing as the thought Is, but the canvas
skirt will encircle both the BIS and
the woman, and, although the former
seizes the chaste limbs of the latter
with all the familiarity of an old friend,
the whole world may not look on and
snicker.
This is a great and noble thought,
and does immense credit to the head
and heart of Prof. Peabody and his as
sociates. The feelings of a Boston
woman cannot be too much respected.
They are tender and easily wounded,
and the etiquette of shipwrecks has not
entered too soon into the midnight
studies of the deep thinkers andphiloso-
pliers of Massachusetts. Too long has
the shameless BIS BY been per-
mitted to go its indecorous way. Too
long has its shrek of exultation been
heard above the storm when it saw a
ship drifting on the rocks. To be sure,
in case of accident, the breeches buoy
is still "there or thereabouts," but the
public does not know 1t.
That this innovation will be good
thing for shipping interests goes with
out saying. There is no telling how
many Boston women have been deter
red from taking sea voyages through
the dreadful fear that a shipwreck
might throw them into the society of
the b-s BY. While they could,
with great effort, endure the thought
of falling into the arms of old Neptune,
or being ogled by bold mermen, the
bare thought Of the b-s by was
too much for them. Prof. Peabody and
his considerate associates deserve the
thanks of Boston women yet unborn.

TEACHING REDSKINS.
METHOD OF EDUCATING INDIAN
CHILDREN.
Progress Made by the Introduction Of
Manual Training Into schooIs--Grati-
flying Results of an Experiment Tried
by Miss Estelle Reel.

Since her appointment as superinten
dent OF Indian schools Miss Estelle Rec
has accomplished wonders by the intro
duction Of manual methods In agency
schools scattered throughout the West
ern States and territories. Early In
her career as superintendent she be.
came convinced as she herself express.
es 1t, that among all children, Indians
and whites alike, the shortest road to
the brain Is through the hand" In a
perfunctory way manual training had
been In operation before Miss Reel re-
ceived her appointment, but since then
1t has received close attention and the
results have been gratifying In the
extreme. In the early days Of the re-
public most Indian teachers sought to
lift the aboriginal mind to the plane Of
Christian enlightenment by means of
texts and sermons, catechisms and in
functions, and too commonly their eff
forts ended In the sad realization that
the seed was sown on stony ground
Half century ago some teachers be-
gan to realize that the chief need of the
Indian Is for practical education inyolv-
ing manual training and actual intro
ductlon into the arts and industries of
their Caucasian neighbors, ana the ef.
forts Of those teachers who adopted
this plan were always more or less
fruitful. 1t was not until the advent
OF Miss Reel that the system was given
a really fair trial. The result has been
SO satisfactory that doubtless the work
Will be still further developed In fu-
ture. Observers Of educational prog
ress are impressed with the increasing.
ly practical character Of instruction in
our own schools; the kindergarten has
passed the experimental stage and be-
come an Important educational factor:
manual training has been substituted
for the dreary grind of word drill. TO
the immeasurable benefit of pupils. and
nature teaching is rapidly replacing the
husks Of dead knowledge In every uni
versity and In all the better normal
schools and high schools, as well as In
many Of the primary schools through
out the country.
In speaking Of the benefits accruing
from this system Of education Miss
Reel said recently: "The benefits of
this educational revolution to the chill
dren and youth OF America have been
very great, yet the advantages of the
modern method are incomparably
greater to Indian children than to their
Caucasian contemporaries. Allowing
for exceptional cases, the Indian child

the white child of corresponding age.

Hearts Are Still Trumps.

When eddycation makes a man
Git so etarnal wise
That he can't bear ter walk about
In ordinary guise,
When he must wear a shiny hat
Ter keep his idees in,
1t seems ter me that rarnin' is
A folly an a sin.
I see the college chaps in town
A-swellin round in style,
A-lookin' mighty dandifed,
AS though they knew a pile;
An then l read, when git hum,
o. how they've done some trick
That would have put ter shame tho
brains
o. any lunatic.
Sometimes | see them college chaps
A-marchin' up and down
With nightdresses an nightcaps on
They call um cap an gown
An some Nv um go in for sports.
An some go in for canes;
1t makes you feel real sorrowful
That more don't try for brains.
My notion is that heart an head
Should both be uniform;
That when the head is made more wise
The heart should be more warm:
That eddycation shouldnot make
A man stuck up so far
That he would turn his nose up at
His daddy or his ma.
For "hearts are trumps," that's what !
say,
An though your head is full.
In heaven they won't take account
O what is meath your wool;
An amt that just about the size
o what the world complains?

More than it wants for brains.
