HOW GOLDFISH ARE CAUGHT.
Travis With 5000 Hooks Baited in
Day and Left Over Night.

From the Booklovers Magazine.
Cod fishing is done with dories and travis.
The dories are fiat bottomed, sloping- sided
boats, which fit into one another In the
ships waist. economizing space thereby.
Each dory takes two men, and the whole
crew. except the captain and the cook, go
off in them every suitable day. and set the
travis in the water outward from the ship
like spokes from the hub of a wheel. Travis
are long lines each with 5000 hooks at
tached at intervals of yard. every hook
bafted with some smaller fish, either her
ring, caplin or squid. that the cod affects.
The travis are anchored at each end. baited
IN the day, left lying over night, and are
stripped of their accumulation of fish next
morning, being baited again when "over-
hauled"
The fish are taken to the vessels in the
dories eviscerated. washed and sailed. This
routine continues until the bait Is exhaust
ed and then the vessel returns home, lands
the fish, takes more bait and salt. and
goes out again. At ST. Pierre her catch Is
taken in hand by the graviers and women
who submerge 1t in crates until the salt
has been washed off. Then they scrub each
fish with a hard. coarse brush. and pile
them in heaps to drain. This done they are
next spread on the beaches to dry in the
sunlight and air. The beaches consist of
several acres of fiat ground, covered with
basalt stones worn round by the motion of
the sea for ages.
These stony fields surround ST. Pierre
and thousands of cod are displayed there
on a fine day. Every evening, or If fog or
rain threatens, the fish are gathered up
again and covered with tarpaulins. The
process Is repeated until the fish are quite
dry and hard. Dry fish are piled in round
stacks, the rest in oblOng ones. When a
sufficient quantity to load vessel is OBJ
tanned 1t is packed into her hold and ship
ped to market. The extent of the cod
fishing of Miquelon and st. Pierre may be
indicated by the record of the catch Of
those islands in 1892. which was e. 500 900
pounds.

FLATS LACK GUEST ROOM.
New England Woman Makes Discov-
cry That No Provision Is
Made for Company.

zone Of my first discoveries" said a
New England woman who had been
transplanted to a New York fiat, accord
ing to the Sun, was that fiat dwellers
made no provision for company in the
way that had always supposed il must
be done. Such thing as a guest room in
an ordinary fiat is apparently un-
dreamed Of. This lack seemed very
heathenish to me, and insisted that one
of my five rooms should be set aside as
sacred to the chance guest. One day
when | was expecting two very dear
friends | was moved to mention my
pleasant anticipation to my next neigh
Dor. bride of few months Her con-
Germ for me in what she evidently re-
garded as predicament was funny.
Company she exclaimed. Going
to stay two weeks? What in the world
will you do with them? Why do you
know, we've never even let my hus-
bands folks know about our marriage
just for that very reason haven't any
place for company-and they're just
the kind that would flock to visit us

pie all live In Rochester.

BoULANGER'S HORSE DEAD.
Equine Frances to Music and Expires
on Spot Where He Nearly
Upset France.

A column of troops marched past the
Alsace column in the Place de la Con-
corde in Paris the other morning with
drums beating and fifes playing.
A broken-down old black horse draw
ing a cart heaped up with vegeta blss
heard the music and saw the soldiers
In the seat Of the cart, half asleep in
the blazing sun was Nine. Lecocq, who
had been to the Paris market to buy
supplies for her grocery store.
At the sound of the drums and the
sight Of the red-legged soldiers in the
Place de la Consorde the old horse
came to life. He pranced and trotted
to the head Of the marching column,
nearly shaking Nine, Lecocq of the
seat.
Half way across the square the horse
stopped; his knees gave way and he
fell dead. Nine. Lecocq was thrown to
the ground. The soldiers marched
around the wreck and laughed.
In front OF the Asace column just
II years ago, almost to a day, this same
black horse nearly upset the govern

NOVEL LINES OF INSURANCE
New York Underwater Proposes to
Have Policies Issued Providing
Against Bad Weather.

Insurance enterprise Is branching
out in novel directions One broker of
New York city who has placed much
surplus fire insurance with Lloyds,
London, is sounding the proprietors Of
the beach resorts in that vicinity in
regard to Sunday weather insurance.
He proposes to have issued by Lloyds
a policy providing specified indemni-
ty for loss of receipts due to weather
SO bad that it will keep the crowds
away and thus lessen profits. There
will be about ten more Sundays dur
ing the present summer resort season.
and those interested in the business
are said to always look to the latter
end of the summer for their profits
Another unusual line for which
several prominent companies have
made offers is the insurance of the
wagons and horses of retail butchers
and grocers. The terms offered are
2R per cent. year on all risks, the
minimum to be S400 and the amount
of insurance to be paid at the end of
80 days after loss by theft If the prop
erty has not been recovered and re-
turned to the owner. The horses and
wagons will be insured only while in
actual service in the delivery of goods.
There are about 5000 retail butchers
and grocers in the city, and Charles
Thorpe, editor of the Retail Grocers'
Advocate. says they have lost within
IS months more than 300 horses and
wagons of an average value of $3.50

TRINoUET, ORIGIN oFTENNIS
Popular Game Came from Ancient
Pastime Played by the Basque
Peasantry.

Popular among the Basque peasantry
IL an ancient game known as trinquet.
No one knows the origin OF trinquet;
like all Basque customs, IL can be traced
back and back till its history is lost in
a remote past, Nearly every court in
the country bears the aspect Of extreme
age. The court at Bayonne is believed
to be 400 years old, and the one at St.
Jean de Luz looks older than the one at
Bayonne. When Louis XIV. who was
married in st, Jean de Luz church, went
down to the little frontier town to meet
his Spanish bride he found the Basques
of ST. Jean de Luz energetcally play
ing their ancient game; and he took
the idea back with him TO Paris, and
from 1t largely modified comes the game
of tennis. Tennis and trinquet are very
similar, save that instead of racquets
a leather arrangement, known as a
glove, is used for propelling the ball
