many surprises to a stranger. Many of
the citizens OF the place and of the nejgh-
boring Islands depend almost wholly upon
this business for livelihood.
There are four firms that deal in the
business more or less. Capt. James Parker

having bought during the summer over
100000 pounds OF fish, all of which have
been split, salted and cured for market.
MOST OF them were sent to Gloucester, but
some to Bangor.
u. III. Mayo Is the next largest dealer.
He has bought about 500, 600 pounds. John
Hopkins has not bought as many this sea
son as usual, but not few loads of 20. 600
to 5000 pounds have been deposited at his
place OF business.
John l.. Stanley & Sons are dealers In

continually during the season.
Some eight or ten large vessels, having a
crew from eight to twelve men, are en-

A WHITE RAT.
How 1t Is Petted, FondIed and Sat
Upon by His Monkey Friends.


How 1t Is Petted, TondIed and Sat
Upon by His Monkey Friends.
At one of the geological gardens cage
of white rats stands quite near the cage
of monkeys. The monkeys had always
shown SO much curiosity about the rats
that the keeper one day concluded to put
one of the rats in with them to see what
they would do. They fairly screamed
with delight when the rat entered and
at once began to make friends with him.
The rat was inclined to run away
from them for the first day or two, but
seeing that they did not intend to do him
any harm he lost his fear and permitted
them to fondle and caress him as much
as they liked. This they did constantly,
stroking his white fur, holding him in
their arms and offering him part of their
food. They even picked out the choice
bits and gave them to him, as If he were
a guest whom they were delighted to en-
terrain.
One day new idea occurred to the old
est monkey. He had the rat in his arms,
and, putting it down gently on the floor,
he cautiously sat down on it. The rat
did not move, nor did it seem to object
to the queer use to which the monkey
was putting it. As for the monkey, he
looked about, with broad grin on his
face, and fairly chartered with delight
over the soft cushion he had found.
After sitting there for awhile he got
up SO the other monkeys might try it,
and they were as much pleased as he had
been.
From that time on the rat was in daily
use as a cushion, and he took it with per-
feet good temper, never objecting to it in
the least.-Cincinnad Enquirer.

The Game of Whirlwind.

To play an exciting game arrange in
circle as many chairs as there are play
ers and let all but one be seated. There
will then be a vacant chair for the per-
son left standing. This he must try to
occupy, and if he succeeds the player
on his left must take his place in the
center of the circle. The only way for
the players to prevent the vacant seat
from being taken is for the player on the
left of it to move on and occupy it. In
this way the whole circle is kept con-
stantly on the move, and there is great
deal of merriment over the difficulties
experienced by the standing player in
procuring a seat.

A few years ago some fishermen were
following their vocation off harbor on
the Maine coast when they observed
commotion on the surface and soon made
out a seal leaping from the water as if
followed by some enemy.
1t came near the boat, swimming round
it several times. and then, making leap,
the men saw that it was being chased by
a large fish.
One of the fishermen dropped his line
and. stepping into the bow, leaned over
and held out his hands. To his amaze
ment the seal Immediately dashed toward
him and with his help scrambled out Of
the water into the boat just in time to
escape the sharp weapon of swordhsh
that darted by, its big eyes staring, prob
ably in wonder at the method of escape,
to its fishy intelligence being evidently a
case of out of the frying pan into the
fire.
But the little seal apparently knew bet
ter, and n need not be said that its con-
fidence was not misplaced, as the men
were so pleased at its action in coming
to them they kept it as pet, and the
seal became a familiar object about the
shore

Don't give up bad boy or turn against
him because he is bad. If your parent
age and surrounding had been the same
as his perhaps you would have been bad
too. He may not be altogether bad.
Give him another trial at least. Put
yourself to the trouble TO do favor for
him and do it with an earnest, loving
spirit. In many cases this will win
him, and when once you have won him
he is true until death. If your first effort
to win him does not succeed, try again
and again. You will get nearer to him
each time, and as his associates come over
to you he will be drawn nearer and near

with supply OF halibut, some OF them
weighing as high as 800 pounds each.
About eight lsen are at work on the
wharves constantly, sailing and drying,
and double this number are employed
when load is in and splitting is going on.
The salt used on the fish Is bought in
Gloucester mostly, and comes in cargoes OF
300 or 400 hogsheads at time. Not few
thousand dollars change hands for all this
supply OF fish, salt and labor.
1t is an interesting sight to slender
foot" to watch the men at work. Fifty
thousand pounds OF fish in one pile Is
quite a spectacle to begin with. These
must all be split and washed, then put in
"buttsn and sailed. Thea butts are large
hogsheads holding about eight quintals Of
fish. Then, whom the drying season comes,
they must be put on the cracks" to drain.
One days drying is usually considered
sufficient.
Then the shipping time comes, hen the
vessels are loaded, filing the hold where
the fish are piled up like so much cord
wood. One thousand quintals is an aver
age load to ship.
One interesting feature of the business
is the curing OF hake sounds, which are
cleaned and dried and put in bags for
market. We are told that these sounds
are used for settling beer, and also in
making Of gelatine. Only few years ago
they were sold for the advance price of e
pound, but 25 cents pound is the mar
ket price now. The larger part of one
mans time is occupied at Parker's in this
work of preparing hake sounds.
Another feature Is the making Of oil

ton. Large quantities of it are sold in
all of the large cities of our state and
elsewhere. Now we have been appointed

Vinol is better than cod liver oil for
everything for which this greasy mix
ture was prescribed.
The following from Chillicothe, Ohio,
written by Mr.. George Burgoon, who says:
"My wife was very much run down in
flesh and strength. Commenced taking
VINOL and she felt the beneficial re-
suits Of it before the first bottle was
gone. She took four bottles in all and
received wonderful benefit. Her strength
returned and she gained materially in
weight. am happy to state that she
is now in perfect health and we give VI
MOL the entire credit for this happy re-
suit"
Won't you please call on us and let us
tell you how VINOL does good or let us
send you book that tells all about it.
