Loss of Life in the Fisheries,

Ten vessels and eighty-two men were
lost in the fisheries from Gloucester
during the year. The loss of property
is about the average for the last few
years, while the loss of life is in

1901, when only forty-six men met
their death.
The total number of lives lost dur.
ing the year, including deaths at sea
and in hospital, wds eighty-two. These
fatalities caused thirty women to be
come widows, and made fifty-two chill
dren orphans.
Three vessels were lost with theil

lost, twelve fell or were washed over

A millinery Game,

Here is a funny new game which is
being played in Berlin and which is
causing much amusement:
At 10 O'Clock in the evening the
guests meet in one room and servants
place on a table before them as many
untrimmed straw hats for women as
there are gentlemen present, and then
lay in each hat a strip Of ribbon, a
feather, some muslin, and a needle and
thread.
The servants then retire and in a
minute or two a bell rings, which is a
signal that the gentlemen are to take
the hats and trim them 10 the best Of
their ability. They are allowed ten
minutes in whiekt6-aStAe work, and
when the bell announces that the time
has expired they are to lay the hats
again on the table, after which the
women r to examine them carefully
and to award a prize to the gentleman
who, in their opinion, has done the
work in the best manner.
This novel game affords infinite
amusement to women, for the simple
reason that the art of trimming hats
is one about which men are ~shockingly
ignorant.

chanead Har Mind.

The Boston charity workers report
a case Of a trying sort that can no
doubt be matched in any large city
where systematic efforts are made to
relieve actual suffering among the
poor. One woman, the mother of a
large and much-neglected family, re-
jected with scorn some comfortable
secondhand clothing that was brought
to her to make over for the children.
Il don't want them old things" she
snorted. "You "a take 'em right
back. There amt no style about 'em
and they don't fit any of the children.
1 can't bother with things that don't
ft!' In view of the fact that the chill
dren were in desperate need of proper
clothing, say the Transcript, this re-
ception of a mueh-needed benefit was a
severe tax on the patience of the
| donors, but the stress of the family's
| circumstances prompted further over
lures which, combined with a spell of
| cold weather, induced the woman to re-
consider her attitude. and the children
were made comfortable.

When a northeast storm sets the sea

EFFECT OF FUEL SHORTAGE.
A Seriously Disturbing Element in the
Industrial 6ituation.

New York City.-R. q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Fuel
shortage is still the one seriously dis
turbing. element in the industrials situa-
ton. Transporting facilities have been
diverted from other merchandise. to
the disadvantage Of shippers, yet iron
are unable tossecure sufficient
supplies Of coke, and many other man
uracfuring plants are closed because of
inadequate coal deliveries.
Bradstreet's says: with the much
needed expansion in export trade now
actively in evidence, one Of the few Inn
portant missing elements of national
prosperity has been supplied. Export
trade in December proved to be better
than anticipated, and so far in January
only encouraging elements have deyei-
oped. The domestic situation also
gains, rather than loses, in strength.
While regular spring trade can hardly
be said to have opened. activity l.

One of the features promised at the
st. Louis Exposition are sulphur baths.
This was decided on only a few days
ago, after tests had been made to de-
termine the presence of water. This
was found in large quantities. Two
wells will be sunk, and it is estimated
that each one will supply about 100000
gallons per day. The baths will be
located at the eastern part of the
grounds and neal the fire engine sta

of the old Pompeiian baths. The plant

Buelow, replying in the Reichstag to
an assertion of Herr Richter, the Rad

crown itself were harmed by the two
frequent utterances Of Emperor Will

"The strongly marked individuality
of a ruler is a great advantage that
cannot be underestimated. I have
found many persons abroad that longed
for a monarch Of accentuated person
atty. Nobody should blind himself
against the grand outlines in the char
