a herring split down the back, gut
ted, picked in brine for half an hour
or so and then smoked for a few
hours. A bloater is an unsplit her
ring and is kept in salt for the bet
ter part of day before being
smoked, while the red herring is red
because it is first sailed for some
weeks on end and then smoked for
as long, the result being that it is
very highly cured.
The net profits of each boat are
divided into 16 shares, of which
seven go to the owners and the other
nine are split up among the hands
in proportion to their standing.
Thus the master will take enc and a
half or one and three-quarters share,
the mate one and a quarter or one
and half, and so on down to the
last-joined boy, who gets a quarter
or even one-eighth of a share. A
share in a lucky boat may run to
close on $1,000 for two months fishing.
The new stream driftcrs are fine
boats, about 60 tons, 80 feet in
length by IS feet in the beam. In
the old days the nets were not more
than two miles long. But now
every steamer has at least 40 or
$50, or even 200 nets 80 yards wide
by is or 20 ''score' deep. A ''score"
is a score of meshes, so that taking
a mesh as an inch the depth is some
80 feet, with an aggregate length of
three miles. The nets are fastened
together to form a continuous sur
face, and are floated by buoys. There
are, in addition to the Yarmouth
boats, over 500 Scotch sailing craft
and about so Scotch steamers. The
gulls betray the whereabouts of the
fish by day, lovely phosphorescencc
by night. Hither come the boats
with their millions of meshes, and
when night has fallen the nets are
paid out, the lights lit and the vast
feet lies quietly drifting with the
tide, twinkling red, green and white,
like multitudinous fragments of
some dismembered rainbow.
A goou catch is ten lasts, though
II and IS have been taken in a night.
1t must be remembered that though
a last is nominally only 10000 fish it
is really 1920, for hundred counts
1872. Twelve and fifteen hundred lasts
are sometimes landed at Yarmouth
fish wharf in one day, and they are
all off by night.
The world comes to Yarmouth for
its herring. Steamers of 800 and
1000 tons lie in harbor heaped up to
the top of their bulwarks with bar
rels of packed fish for export to
Hamburg, Rotterdam, and other
ports of Germany, Holland or Bel
GUM.
By fortunate provision of nature
the herring makes its appearance at
different parts of Scotland and Eng
land in succession, so that for the
enterprising Scotch fishermen who
60 to the Lewis and Shetland in MAY
and June, who fish out of their own
ports on the Moray Firth in July,
August and September, and who
come down to Yarmouth and Lowe
stoft in October and November there
are three rich harvests.

Personal Allusfons.

Personal illusions are never safe,
and seldom effective or happy. An
anecdote that illustrates this fact is
that of solicitor for a charitable
institution who went to a woman's
door and asked her for a contribu-
ton.
"We have" he stated, earnestly,
hundreds of poor, ragged and Vi
cious children, like those at your
gate, and our object is"

woman, those are my swn chill.

individuality of the American Girl.

individuality of the American Girl.
The American girl has often more in
dividual character andstrength of mind
than any other girl in the WORLD. She
knows what she likes, what she wants,
and what she dislikes and detests. This
alone is a comfort when it comes to
being associated with anyone in So
cial way. The colorless damseI who
shippers out: Anything you like,
please" when you ask her what she
wants for luncheon, is by no means a
JOY forever. The American girl knows
what she wants to eat, what she needs
to wear, what she cares to read. If
she likes walking or riding or boating,
she will say SO, and if she doesn't like
them she is quite likely to announce
her predictions. - Woman's Homo
Companion.

Her Method.

They were just concluding series
of ''frst aid to the injured" lessons
in one of the settlements, and the
worker in charge thought it might
be a good idea to have a written
test. Among other questions she
wrote:
.How would you restore conscious
ness to person who had been res
cued from drowning?"
b In answer to this a maiden with an
affection for polysyllables wrote:

ton is complete plump the person on

Mrs. James Beck, of 314 West
Whitesboro Street, Rome, N. Y, says:
ST was troubled with my kidneys for
eight or nine years; had much pain
in my back; as time went on could
hardly endure it; I could not stand

I grew weak and exhausted; could
not even do light housework, let

Within a week after commencing
their use I began to improve, and

First Need Of n Doctor.

WI Ting Fang is fond Of relating story
about a Chinese doctor who didn't satisfy
his patient. The sicker the patient grew,
the more indignant his friends became at
the unsuccessful physician. At last, when
the sick man was in final stage and death
was imminent, the relatives laid violent
ing him up to a tree, started to admin
lister smart beating. But while his assail-
ants were looking for stick with which to
beat him, the doctor freed himself, and,
jumping into the river, swan to safety.
When he reached home he found his son,
who was studying to be a physician, por-
ing over book on medicine; Put it up,
grimly; 'the first requisite of doctor is
to know how to swim, not to cure."-San
