men by a wave of the hand. Their
dexterity was astonishing. Their
boats, in a mad career, and apparently
at the mercy of the Infatuated fish,
swerved from each others course with
such certainty that the lines never
once crossed, nor were there any col
lisions.
The sea became red with blood OF
the wounded fish.
Men and women with bloody knives
in their hands. wading in the water
even up to their chests, dragged the
great Dorpoises ashore.
At the end of two hours work six
ty-nine large fish were on the beach.
They were cut up, and the flesh thrown
into the great cauldrons, to extract the
oil.
In this days fishing the crews of
the boats had earned more than in a
years fishing for smaller game. At
night there was a great celebration
in the town. BonfireS lighted the
shore where the fat of the porpoises
was converted into barrels of oil.
But the smell of the fish oil! It
was so strong that it invaded every
house in the village, and even re-
malned about our clothing for days.
But the people of Largens didn't mind
that. They had made enough money
in the day to last them a year, and in
the church that night prayers were
offered that another school of por-
poises might soon be discovered off
the shore of Pico.

Sport with Kinks in II.

From the Illustrated Sporting News
1t is a gorgeous story that comes
from the links of Cairo. After a
drive, a Cairo player watched the ball
roll over the distant turf. when to
his Mortified amazement a crow
swooped down and carried it aloft.
The golfer and the caddie put off in
chase, the caddie cursing in fluid
Arabic. Then, to the delight of the
golfer, the crow dropped the ball on
the green, and he holed out in two
strokes, which put Col Bogey out of
commission. The opponent was
threatened with apoplexy. AS In the
case of the Indian football trick of
sticking the ball under his Jersey,
there was every Kind of rule in the
book except one to cover the unex-
pected, and the golfers record had to
stand.
Many years ago in England, before
a rule was made to fit similar emer-
gency in cricket, It is related that a.
batsman knocked a ball into a tall
tree, where it lodged in the crotch of
a limb There was no climbing the
tree, and the nearest ak was q half
mile away. Before it could be obtain
ed and the tree chopped down the
man with the bat made more than
700 runs. He stopped scoring then only
because he ran himself out of breath
and fell on the turf, still feebly try
ing to pile up another run, with one
weary eye cooked on the tree and all
the opposing side frantically trying to
chop at once.

A PORP0ISE HUNT
IN THE AZORES.

away. If they come into the lake it
will be great sight"
At the end of quarter of an hour
we were on top of a cliff at the side
of the town. From this we could get
a good view of the lake and the ocean.
The fish, judging from the foam they
made in the water, must be immense,

They were driven along by the fish
ermen In the boats, who were making
a tremendous uproar and pelting the
porpoises with stones which they had
carried in the boats. They chased the
fish toward the mouth of the lake, and
were very careful in placing the boats
so that none of the great PROPOSES
could take any other course.
1t seemed as If every person in the
village had come to the shore.
Men, women and children, all in
great anxiety, were watching the re-
suit of the fishing.

narrow opening through which the
men were trying to force them,

dous waves in the water.
The boats, however. by force of
oars, cries from the fishermen and the
throwing of stones, succeeded in turn
ing the escaping ones back to-
ward the channel which led into the
lake.
At last one of the largest fishes,
powerful and shining, turned majesti-
cally, though blowing" with despair,
toward the throat of the basin. This
was certainly the leader of the COM
pany. A second followed him, and
then third, and the rest swan rapid
ly toward their doom.
After the entrance of the last of the
shoal into the lake a net was stretched
across the channel to prevent the
escape of the fish. and two boats with
men at the oars were stationed there
as a guard.
Then the business of fishing began.
Six boats were launched. the fisher
men being armed with harpoons and

One of the boats reached quietly
the side of one of the largest fish.
With incredible swiftness and pre-
cision he hurled his harpoon into the
body of the porpoise. The fish imme-
diately began a mad race for free
dom. The harpooner let the line run
out, and the furious brute dragged
the boat through the water like a

quality Of glue should always be used,
as it is not affected by changes of the
atmosphere. The best is easily dis
tinguished from the commoner sorts
because it is much cleaner and more
transparent than the other.
Don't smear glue too thickly over
your work. The smaller the quantity
that can be made to cover the surface
1.-THE better the results will be.
Both edges of the wood to be joined
must be covered with glue while it is
quite hot, and the surface should then
be rubbed together, when practicable,
until the glue is almost set.
Any glue that has oozed out OF the
joint can be scraped off with the CHS
ell when 1t has nearly cooled, and any
that has fallen can be removed with
a hot sponge.
Sand paper or pumice stone will
complete the cleaning up of the work.
