The Eishhnwk,

"The fshhaWk tells US when the
shad begin to run up the river" said a
Gloucester fisherman. eve have learn
ed that it isn't much use to cast the
nets, no matter how mild the weather
may be, until Mr.. Fishhawk swoops
down on us. When he comes sailing
up the bay, we know it's time to get t.
work. Lots of farmers down Jersey
would never think to start planting I'M
til the fishhawks come. don't believe
they lave ever been later than April
II, though. They work their way up
the coast from Florida and the other
southern waters early in March, when
the fish begin to come north, They fol
low the big schools of herring, as a
rule, because the herring swim close to-
gether, and the hawk has easy picking.
The shad follow the herring, and when
the fshhawk comes we know the shad
are not far behind. "-Philadelphia Rec

OF all literary toilers Balzac was GER
tainly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS. At first he would write his novel
in a few pages, hardly more than the
plot. These would be sent to the print
er, who would return the few printed
columns Of matter pasted into the cen
ter of several large sheets. On this mar
gin Balzac would work, sketching his
characters, composing the dialogue and
perhaps altering entirely the original
plot of the book. For four or five times
this process was repeated until at last
the few columns had assumed the pro
portions of a volume. This eXtraordi-
nary way of building a book naturally
ran away with q considerable share OF
the profits on the work. Penny.

derful followers of principle and truth
in art, the japanese, have a lesson to
teach us. When q Japanese connois-
seur breaks some precious piece of pot
terry or porcelain, he does not throw it
away with disdain, neither does he try
to deceive the casual observer into the
belief that it is Unbroken. Instead, he
has it joined together, generally with
gold lacquer, in such a fashion that the
fracture is boldly shown and comment
ed on. as it were, by the frank eXposi-
ton of the method by which it is made
good. Curious enough, a distinctly new
and charmingly decorative effect is in
most cases added by these irregular
gold lines, while the sense of crafts
manship is tickled by the marvellous
skill exhibited by the repairer in thus
welding together the two dissimilar
materials. Truth is preserved at no
loss of artistic beauty. Indeed, once
more it is made clear that the two may
always walk hand in hand-Connois-
