I'm menso Herring Traffic.

The annual North sea herring voy.
age, which begins off the Northumber.
land cDast, has resulted. on the COM
pletiop of the first stage, in catch Of
over 10000 Grams of behring's, valued
at aboat 10000. A Gran contains, ac-
cordink to size. from 600 to 1000 fish.
AS the fish move southwark. the big
fleet cf several hundred sail follows,
and II is now making its headquarters
at Grimsby, whence its operations will
shortly be transferred to Yarmouth
and LOwestoft, where the fishing con-
tinues until Christmas, and affords em-

men and women, says Tit-Bits. Last
year ut Yarmouth alone no fewer than
348,0Co, 900 herring3 were landed, and
as this year steam fishing boats have
largely replaced sf.iling vessels. it is
expected this great total will be far
exceeded, for in single week 10000
Grams have been taken on the northern

DOGS WEAR SHOES.
Alaslran Animals hold Up Feet to Hav
Shoes Put On.

Alaskaa Animals hold Up Feet to Have
Shoes Put On.
In Alaska shoes for dogs have been
introduced. Tie use Of shoes for
animals in the far north country is
not merely out OF kindness to the dogs.
It ts a matter OF necessity, for one OF
tho greatest dangers to travellers in
Alaska Is that the dogs which draw
sledges or transport goods freeze their
feet by contact with the ice. This
sometimes renders the animals practi-
cally useless and leaves the traveller
without means Of transit over the
nelds of ice. Before the Introduction
Of the shoes It was the custom to wrap
the feet Of the dogs in cloth, but this
Was q poor measure at best, as tho
cloths often came of, leaving the poor
beasts unprotected. The cloths also
lnterfered with the free locomotion OF
the dogs. Since the gold fields opened
more dogs have been used and great
speed in travel has become necessary.
The dogs shoe was invented to meet
the requirements. The lacings are At
tho back to give free play to the dogs
legs. The wonderful intelligence OF
these faithful animals is shown by
their readiness In taking to the shoes.
They become so accustomed to them
that they are uneasy without them
On the trail the dogs have frequently
been known to come to the driver in
the morning and hold out their legs
70 have their shoes put on. If the
ehoes happen to be laced too tight,
they will whine and make their dis
comfort manifest, wagging their tails
for Joy when the aces are fixed to
their liking.

Shot an ExuliinE Err gllshman,

The British and the Beers at Pieters
Hill were crouching behind powders
scattered over a wide surface. The
moment man on either side emerged
from his cover he was at once the tar
get of the enemy's bullets. A Boer,
partly, 1t seemed, in bravado, made a
sudden sally to join neighbor. An
Englishman who had long watched the
rock and was becoming sick with hope
deferred took aim and brought the
daring one down. So delighted was he
with his luck that he threw himself on
his back behind the shallow shelter
of his bowlder and kicked his heels
into air. In his transport his heel rose
above the rock. as he was instantly
made aware by bullet transaxing his

Benj min Harrls0n's Lunch.

Ex-President Benjamin Harrison,
one Of the ablest men who has figured
in our public life, has always been
handicapped by his unresponsive, cold
manner. When he was in the senate,
at Washington, D. c., in the early sos,
he always brought his luncheon to the
committee room. He carried 1t in his
coat pocket and would eat it while he
went on with his work. One day when
he got it out as usual from his pocket
he looked it all over ruefully, for it
did look rather fiat and dubious. He
finally remarked to those near by that
he guessed he must have sat on it &C
cidentally. One OF his colleagues-one
who had recently been ignored by Har-
rlson-spoke up impulsively: "Well.
by Jove, Harrison, If you've sat on it,
III bet you sixpence it is frozen
solid," and Of course shout went up
from the whole committee. Harrison
took the joke kindly and Joined in tho

CAUSES SURPRISE.
Connecticut Man Declares His Assess

Connecticut Man Declares His Assess.
ment Is Much Too Low.
Robert NJ. Bruce, one Of the mil
ilonaires Of CT eenwich, Conn, former
cotton broker and friend Of f. c..
Benedict has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board of assessors
OF the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised 50 per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never plid any attention to the
making ont OF his list OF taxable prop
erty. leaving 1t with the assessors. He
had looked The matter up recently and
had decided that he was not paying all
that he sho::id into the town treasury
md he ask ed for the raise The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and 1t Is understood that they
will raise the taxes OF all other mil
iionalres there to some extent Mr..
Bcuce's example Is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
wIch has raised $4,000 by taxation,
and has spent $4,000 more than it
raised. The debt has rolled up to
nearly 100000. The town appoint I'd
an Investigating COMMITTEES and the
members reported that more money
must b ra:"ed by taxation. Fixing up
the taxes Last fall was + 1t over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
he amount ct taxable property and an
Increase OF the tax rate seemed prob
.5le. Persons who have looked up the
matter say that there appears to be
me law for TIE poor man and another
or the rich man. The law says that
zach property owner must put in a
true list of the real value Of all prop
erty. real and personal. but the general
'ule among persons OF moderate mems
has been to pay on 60 per cent Of abe
value. The miilionaires in some in
'tances have not paid on 10 per cent OF
he property.

Most TOngues Have No Bible,

The serns of the Arlington 5equen
Of great sum of money to the various
missionary societies has resulted in
the disclosure Of the fact that there arc
hundreds Of tribes without a version
OF the Bible in their tongues, in spite
OF the splendid efforts that have been
made. 1t is estimated that there are
1000 languages and dialects in the
world, and the British and Foreign
Bible Society have had the Bible, tho
New Testament. ana portions of tho
scriptures translated into little over
400 Of them. That leaves. roughly
speaking, 900 different tribes and peo-
Piles who have not the word in their
own language or dialect. Many Of
these tribes live in Central Africa, 9TH
ers in Siberia and Holy" Russia.
