Names Marvellous Fish.

No wonder the fish supply is limited.
when they can't find anything to eat
but lobster trap buoys. This is the
case of the fish at Manset. Two men
went out one night recently to tend
their traps. AS they were pulling one
they noticed it went sailing round the
bay at a lively rate, and they began to
get scared Taking the line in little
more, they saw fish about three feet
long sailing up toward the surface as
though he were in distress.
Nothing in the fish line scares these
two men, so they ulled the fish
aboard and proceeded to investigate.
From the fish they pulled eight or ten
fathoms of cord line (more or less)
and a lobster buoy. The buoy was a
block of wood about a foot long and
five inches through, 1t must have
been difficult for the fish to stay under
water with such a piece of wood in it's
stomach.

Preparing Bulgarian Bridegroom for
MnddInn CarnrnnnM

The shaving of the bridegroom on
his wedding day is a Bulgarian Gus
tom which, handed down from pre-.
Christian days, is still observed with
due formalty, especially in country
districts While the barber Is at his
task a dancing crowd of young folks
surrounds him and the bridegroom.
AS the latter's hair Is cut the snip
pings are carefully collected by some
of the girls for preservation in one Of
the brides chests. The barber when
his work is done, receives small
white linen cloth as present, and
also trifling sum of money from
each person there. Then the bride
groom kisses the hands OF all the
girls, washes his face and dons his
wedding dress, which must first be
carefully weighed three times by one
of the boys.

1t is estimated that over 5000 dis.
tinct languages are spoken among
men. A calculating prodigy would be
wanted to compute with exactness
how many separate dialects are in
use. Sixty years ago it was reckoned
that sixty different vocabularies were
to be found in Brazil, but the actual
number must be far greater, for in
much smaller Mexico the Nahua Ian.
guage has broken up into 700 dialects.
There are hundreds in Borneo. In
Australia there is no classifying the
complexities. And, generally, the
number of dialects is in inverse pro.
portion to the intellectual culture Of
the population. Assume that only
fifty dialects on the average belong to
every language and one has the colos.
sal total of a quarter of a million lin.

the annual migratiOns of the lriEh

into England and Scotland, which has

for at least couple of centuries, Is
now not nearly so great as 1t was in
the days of overpopulatiOn in Ireland
before the famine, but this year there
were still nearly $4,000 lrishmen who
