The third age of love is the callow
age, in which a boy always falls in love
with a woman old enough to be his
mother. 1t is accompanied by a desire
on his part to be thought very, very
old, and very, very wicked. He re-
CARDS any reference to his age as a per-
sonal insult, and hates those who call
him by his Christian name.
He scorns girls of his own age, and
wonders what grown men can see in
their innocent faces and fresh prattle
to interest them. He is ages beyond
that sort of thing. True, it makes him
vince to recall that the object of his
alteration might have held him on her
knees when he was SO disgustingly
young as to be a baby and he even re
allies that a brutal world might laugh
at their disparity in years, but this Is
because the world doesn't know how
awfully old he really is, or how blase
he feels. After all, it is the heart, and
not years, that makes ones age.
This is rarely happy time in a boys
life, for the youth who essays to pluck
the full blown rose of love is apt to get
some nasty thOrns Ill MS fingers. 0eh-
orally a lads first passion is for his
schoolmistress, if she is at all youthful
or good looking, and he misses his ex-
amirations through dreaming of carry
ing off the mathematics medal and pre-
senting it to her, with his heart and
hand. Sometimes he tells his love. and
gets snubbed, or married, for his pains,
Rut if he has the normal schOOlbOy
shyness and awe of the teacher. he
rides his secret and waits so long sum-
moning courage to tell his love that he
gets over the attack, and not even his
mother ever dreams that he has been
exposed to the contagion.-Dorothy Dix
in Ainslee's Magazine.

light weather. they stand no chance
against the steamers. These new craft
always get the pick of the prices in the
market, for not only do they get in
first to harbor by dint of both sailing
and steaming, but their fish average
larger on account of the larger size of
their mesh. The Scotchman may get
more fish, but he does not get so good
a price Nevertheless, in the opinion
of many experts, the steam drifters
have not come to stop. Their cost is
too great in comparison with their
holding capacity, and there are heads
shaken gloomily over the coming bank
ruptcies caused through forsaking the
old Yarmouth sailing drifter.
By 8 o'clock in the morning the
steamers throng the wharf. The quay
is mass of cranes and heaped-up sill
yer. necessarily the baskets dip into
the holds, are hauled up by a rope at
tached to a swinging spar by block,
swung ashore, and emptied into the
Grams or on to the bare cement floor
ing. The auctioneers' bells ring. The
men shout. To increase the confusion
the Scotch boats put in their appear
ance and scramble for berths at the
wharf. Almost as soon as the fish is
| landed it is taken off to be cured or
packed for export. Then is the time for
the 5000 Scotch lasses who have fol-
lowed the fish like the gulls. In the
huge brick storehouses, out in the
open, everywhere round the market,
the girls are cutting for packing or
splitting for kippering. 1t would make
many gourmet weep to see the roes
from the kippering houses thrown
away as offal, or sold at the rate of a
pailful for threepence. When the girls
have finished their days work they
| promenade the streets, their shawls
| over their heads, their everlasting knit
| ting in their hands. "Tenty" as they
are, they spend their money freely in
the Yarmouth shops. So that these,
too have their harvest out of the her
! ring.
One firm alone, Messrs. Woodger,
cures ten lasts of fresh fish daily.
Others, who use salt fish, sometimes
| take delivery of over 100 lasts a day,
but then these are not all hung up at
! once, and every moments delay is pre-
judicial.
/ The world comes to Yarmouth for
it's herring. Steamers of 500 and 1000
tons lie in harbor heaped up to the top
| of their bulwarks with barrels of pack
| ed fish for export to Hamburg, Rotter-
dam and other ports of Germany, Hol-
land or Belgium. Sometimes an anus
ing little drama may be witnessed. The
| French government gives bonus to its
boats which depends on the quantity of
fish caught, and these find it worth
their while to buy fish at Yarmouth or
! Lowestoft to take home as the spoil
of their own nets. Suddenly a French
gunboat appears in the offing, and off
| go the three-masted luggers like a
school of fry from pike.-(Yarmouth

SKETCH OF HIS LEE,

Thomas Bracket Reed, statesman,
politician and lawyer, the man whose
master will was felt by all who came
in contact with him. was born in Port
land. Me, October IS, 1889. Serving his
country and his state in various ca
pacities, he has been constantly in the
public eye since 1864. AS a member of
congress and as the leader of the re-
publican party in that body the states
man became world famous.
When Mr.. Reed entered upon his du-
ties as speaker he found himself at the
head of a narrow majority, which was
confronted by a strong minority, ready
and determined to do everything in it's
Of the majority.
In order to complete the quorum on
an aye and no vote he directed the
clerk to record the names of a number
of democrats who were present, and
had refused to respond when their
names were called. The scene that fol-
lowed is indescribable. In an instant
! the democratic doctrine, which virtual
ly gave the minority power to rule the
and in a second the democratic mem
bership became a wild, bowling. half
frenzied mob which the speaker faced
with unruffled composure, gavel in
hand. The scenes of that day were re-
enacted many times during the next
fortnight. and the country, as we'll as
the hall of representatives rang with
vituperative and vehement denuncia-
lions Of Gear" Reed; but he needed
them not. His triumph, and Yindica-
ton at the hands Of the democrats
came four years later, when they, be-
| ing then in control of the house of
representatives, adopted the quorum
counting rule.
| He received his education in Bow
dom college, Maine. Having mastered
| the teachings of Blackstone, in 1864 he
was appointed an acting assistant pay
master in the navy. He served until
the end of the Civil war and then be-
gan the practice of law, launching i'm
mediately into political life. He served
his state in 1868 as a member of its
house of representatives and the fol-
lowing year went to. the senate. He
was attorney general of the state from
1870 until 1878, and city solicitor of the
city of Portland from 1874 till 1877.
Then he sprang into national fame.
He served for II congresses, % years in
all, six of them as speaker, and al
! though reelected to succeed himself as
a member of congress, and assured of
the retention of the speakership of the
house. he retired from political life in
1899 He had accumulated no wealth,
and he determined now to devote him
self somewhat to it's pursuit. His real
reason for retiring was his inability
to agree with some policies of the Nc
Kinlcy administration.
Mr.. Reed had served his country and
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1902-12-08

served it well. He now determined to
serve himself. He re-entered the prac-
tice of law with headquarters in New
York city, and this practice had been
both successful and lucrative.
Mr.. Reeds rulings as presiding Of
ficer of the house have been preserved
in book form as Reeds rules. He was
a frequent contributor to periodical
literature and his views were continu-
ously sought after regarding public
questions of the moment. In Washing
ton during the sessions he always lived
ct the Shoreham.
Mr.. Reed instituted the unique prac-
tice of requiring payment from news
papers which desired expression of his
views for publication. He did so on
the ground that he would not be quoted
unless his views were expressed eX-
actly as he held them, and declared
that this required as much care as the
preparation of a legal opinion for
which, of course, he was always paid.
In the last few years he seldom ex-
pressed his opinions at length, regard
ing the state Of current political af-
fairs, but oftentimes gave to his old
political associates views which had
weight with them in determining party
policies.
In stature Reed was a giant, tall,
broad-shouIdered corpulent, with a
round, smooth-shaven face, usually
smiling, and his slumbering walk was
always mark of Identification. He
was a familiar figure on Pennsylvania
avenue.

Among those at the railroad station
when the train departed were Senator

Massachusetts and Representatives
Hit and LittIefeld. The special train
carrying the funeral party was made
up of the composite car Brutuz, the
sleeper Harvard and a day coach.
Mr.. Littlefeld expects to go to Port
land to attend the funeral and Repre-
sentative Burleigh, who is there al
ready, is expected TO be present. The
arrangements for the ob:cquies at
Portland have been left in the hands
of Hon. Joseph W. Sinonds and John
c. Small, an old neighbor of Mr.. Reed.
AS far as tentatively arranged here,
the funeral will take place some time
Tuesday from tie First Parish Uni

Carroll Perkins is pastor. Interment
will be at Evergreen cemetery.

SPIDERS AND THEIR WAYS.
They Do More Good Than Harnn-The
Giant Spiders of the World

They Do More Good Than Harm-The
Giant Spiders of the World.
1.-THE largest spiders in the world"
says one of the government entomolo-
gists, "are to be found in South Amer
lea. Some of them cover a space of ten
! to twelve inches with legs extended.
| They are known as the mygale spider,
| but this department has not had an
opportunity to make careful study of
them. 1t is said that the muscular
strength Of these spiders is very great,
and they have fangs an inch long. 1t
is also stated that many persons in the
West Indies use the fangs for tooth
tive properties in the fangs which pre-
. serve the teeth and prevent toothaches
/ Whenever these spiders seize their
! prey they bury their fangs in it, and
death is almost instantaneous. They
. sometimes capture large birds, lurking
silently about and springing upon them
when not expected. Unlike most spi-
ders, they do not use a web for en-
trapping, but they make strong cables
of the web for hanging up birds, frogs
and insects after they are killed. 1t is
supposed that the spiders are fond Of
dried meats and take this means of
procuring and saving it for future use.
There is similar spider found in Flor
ida, known as the Mygale FIoridae,
which is large and ferocious creature.
and with habits almost similar to its
congeners found in South America.
i Years ago they were eaten by the Indi-
| ans and were esteemed by them as ne
cessary to health. When Florida was
; first coded to the United States there
/ were millions of these spiders, but CIV
! ilization has lessened their number
: greatly. Fine specimens are now diff
i cult to obtain.
ITO a person acquainted with spiders
and their habits nothing appears more
ridiculous than the alarm which
! common house spider will cause to
some people. We have very few poi
sonous or dangerous spiders in this
country. Though the bite of a spider is
venomous, it is fatal only to insects
and animals. The quantity of the poi
son is so minute that it can Go no
4 harm of any consequence to a person
who is in ordinary health. In the sui
try months, when the blood is hot and
irritable, the bite of a spider is more
4 liable to result in some danger Few
i objects are more repulsive to people
! generally than the spider, and this
! arises probably from the frightful sto-
! ries which every one has heard of the
, tarantula and the effects of it's wound.
Only some tarantulas of the tropical
climates are poisonous.
II had rather have house full of
common spiders than full of flies. A
close acquaintance with the little fell
| lows lessons our antipathy to them.
They perform surprising and curious
feats, and are intelligent. cunning and
frugal, The little gray colored spider,
Attus familiaris, does not build web,
| but lives in the crevices in the walls,
window sashes clapboards and such
places, and it runs over the oors or
along the walls and catches flies. No
