FISH SKINMERS AT WORK.

Who and what are fish SINNERS?
The recent strike Of the fish skinners
in Boston has caused the question to
be asked, and probably most people
would reply, They are the fishermen
who skin fish, of course" And some
who have walked the waterfront (says
one New Yorker out of one hUndred)
would add: oh. yes; I've seen them
at work, amid the Shiny cold fish and
cakes of scale covered with ice
Entirely wrong. Not one person in
a thousand has seen the fish skinlers
at work. They are not fishermen at
all; they don't work on the wharves
among the fresh fish. They are al
most to a man landlubbers, merely
factory hands, like shoelasters or wool
weavers, and they work in dry rooms.

the supplies were somehow smuggled
into the hospital.

Two valuable bibles have been dis.

in the last week. One was printed in
Germany in 1884, sent to John Vroom
of Rawllns with a box of heirlooms
from his family's former home in
AmJterdam.
The other is copy of the celebrated
"Breechos Bible found in case o.

of this town. This is an English Bible
printed in 1906 1t is bound in oak
boards. covered with leather and re-
inforced with heavy brass clamps. The
leaves are yellow with age, but the
printing and numerous illustrations
are still perfectly legible. 1t contains
the old Testament, the Apocrypha, a
table of proper names, the Psalms, the
Lords prayer, the Commandments,
and the Canticles, all set to music. The
feature of the book thst makes it val
liable is the following verse:
