HOW GOLDFISH ARE CAUGHT.

Cod fishing is done with dories and
travis. The dories are tlat-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, 60 off in them
every suitable day and set the travis in
the water outWards from the ship like
spokes from the hub of wheel. Travis
are long lines, each with three thousand
hooks attached at intervals of a yard,
every hook baited with some smaller
fish either herring, 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
and baited again when ''overhauled."
The fish are taken to the vessel in the
dories, eviscerated, washed, and sailed.
This routine continues until the bait is
exhausted, 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 it
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.
Thee stony fields surround st. Pierre,
and thousands of cod are displayed there
Oh fine day. Every evening, or if fog
or rain threatens, the fish are gathered
up again and are covered with tarpau-
Inns. 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 sufficient guam
tidy to load a vessel is obtained, it is
packed into her hold and shipped to
market. The extent of the cod-fshing
of Miquelon and st. Pierre may be
indicated by the record of the catch of
those islands in 1902, which was
72,50O,OO0 pounds. While much of
the annual product is exported to other
countries, France naturally gets the
larger part. In fact st. Pierre furnishes
three-fourths of all the Goldfish used in
France.-P. I. Mcgrath in the Booklov-
ers Magazine.

HARVESTING THE APPLE CROP.

The harvesting of the apple crop
must be attended to as soon as it is
ready, or great losses may result. Sea-
sons vary, hence the fruit must be
closely watched SO as to begin picking
at the earliest possible time. Then the
work may be completed before loss &C.
ours from overripeness. The tools, bar
rels or packages, and storage room, help,
etc, should all be ready, and the other
farm work out of the way as much as
possible.
There will be more or less delay from
| rain and dew. Apples should not be
picked when wet, SO push the work
when conditions are favorable. Have
plenty of baskets of about one-half
bushel capacity, with rundown bale
Attach small wire hook to the bale
so the picker can hang his basket on
a convenient branch or round of the
ladder, and have both hands for his
work. These baskets should be lined
with some soft material like old car
pets, so as not to bruise the fruit.
Each man should be provided with a
good light ladder, Is to Is feet long, IS
inches wide at bottom and 10 inches
at top. Set the ladder as near perpen-
dicular as possible, so as to bear lightly
on the tree, and the man will work cas-
Ter for it. When set, pick clean as you
go from bottom to top, all within reach
and there will be few to gather from
the inside of the tree. Have each man
take tree by himself and pick it clean,
carrying his full baskets to the sorter,
who gives him an empty one, and pro-
ceeds to sort the different grades into
their proper places.

are taken to the orchard as fast as
wanted. As soon as filled they are
taken on a low wagon to the storage
and placed in tiers ready to be headed
when the time comes to ship. Careful
handling is very important The least
puncture of the skin, the pulling out of
the stem or dropping the apple so it
falls on the stem of another in such
manner as to puncture it, will induce
decay. Never let the men pull the ap-
pies off, but show them how, by placing
the thumb or finger on the stem near
the tWig and giving slight twist. Do
this and it will separate at the proper
place.
When old -four barrels are used they
should be washed, dried and put in
good repair. New barrels should be
head lined, hoops nailed and all nails
broken down on the inside before filling
Place in each barrel sheet of white
paper on which is printed or stamped
your name and business. Select even
sized, perfect fruit and place two lay
ers, stems down, on the bottom, which
will be the top when opened. Then fill
to the top with mature, we'll grown,
good-sized fruit, free from all defects.
When heading, place the barrel on
solid plank and by a rocking motion
jar it lightly. Refill to the top of the
barrel and carefully place the head SO
that when pressed it will 60 into its
proper place without pounding or driv-
ing it to the right or left. Press it
home and drive down the hoops These
of course should be loosened before
pressure is applied to the head. Handle
apples in this way and there will be no
shakers or broken fruits. P. Gordon,
Grand Isle County, VT, in New Eng
land Homestead.

PARALYSIS CURED.

Mr.. John Kenney's Case Yields to Treat

Hopeless. His Recovery a Great Wonder.
Some Details Given by Himself.
Mr.. Kenney has actually escaped from

surprising report has been fully verified
and some important details secured in a
personal interview with the recent sufferer.

of my case Night after night l could not

the terrible suffering endured during this
period often wonder how retained my
reason through it all"
s'Have you got rid of all these troubles ?"
"Yes, indeed, am entirely rid of them,
and am daily working at my trade as hat
finisher, but relief came from an unexpect-
ed quarter. My help came from DR.. Will
liams's Pink Pills for Pale People. read
one day in paper an account Of case like
mine which had been cured by these WON
derful pills for the blood and nerves. l
bought box ana began to take them. The
very first box seemed to help me, and seven
boxes made me entirely well. There can be
no doubt about the thoroughness of my
cure, for! have worked steadily ever since
and that is nearly four years."
Mr.. Kenney is at present employed by the
Merrimac Hat Company and resides at 101
Aubfn street, Amesbury, Mass. The RENE
dy which he used with such satisfactory re-
suits is sold by all druggists throughout
the world, and is offered as a specific for all
nervous troubles. DR.. Williams Pink Pills

such as headaches, insomnia and debility.

Raise your banners, hail the chief

did Ignite coal, worth at the mine only
a dollar ton. There you have it. The
water of the Missouri, limitless. cease
less supply; just above it land, made by
centuries of river sediment, and imme-
diately at hand one of the cheapest
known fuels to pump the water onto
the land. 1t did not take an engineer
to see the feasibility and cheapness of
this undertaking.
But why, asked myself, had it not
been done? Why had not farmers them
selves put in windmills and small
pumps? Was there, after all. some in
surmountable obstacle? No. Talks
with few of them showed them as
ignorant of irrigation and it's simplicity
as are the farmers of Vermont. In fact
! they were RAINFALL farmers and they
spoke of irrigation as mysterious and
! complicated process.

My return to Bismarck justified my
! conclusions. l found two government
engineers even then investigating the
problem, and, far beyond supplying the
great areas of lower benches, they pro-
pose to elevate the water hundred and
possibly two hundred feet out onto the
great mesas. left them preparing for
trip down the Missouri from the Da-
kota- Montana line in small sklff, on
careful reconnaissance of the Old
Muddy, its tributaries and its lands. If
they find conditions as favorable as
they seem, a party of surveyors will be
put upon the project at once to make
surveys and detailed plans, to be follow
ed by the installation of giant pumps,
water engines, each of which will create
small river.
This work of the government is
fraught with unbounded possibilities
for North Dakota. A great empire lies
latent in the midst of the State, the
worth of which her own people are but
beginning to comprehend. The fertili-
ty of the ages is stored in the ink black
soil and the water Of half continent

The day of great things for the land of

A Iincoluville Musical Treat.

1t may surprise the people OF Maine to
find that lie quiet little town of Lincoln
vile is destined to become, at no distant
day. one of the great musical centers of the
State For several years a few musical
families have made this their summer home.
Still others have come this summer, and al
have been most generous in placing tn cir
talents at the disposal of the little church
along the shore that is undergoing thorough
repairs this season. Few churches have
better singing than this at the Sunday ser
vices. Last Sunday we listened to quar- I.
tette whose soprano is a well known singer
from br0Okline; the tenor, one from Rox-
bury; and the bass, one from Salem, Mass.
Tuesday evening, Aug. 23d, Freeman's Hall
was packed on the occasion of a concert to
raise more money for church repairs. The
admission fee was small, but about two
hundred and fifty people were present. At
the close Of the program, refreshments were
sold, as we'll as flowers, candy, postal cards
and pictures with fine views of many of the
beautiful places of interest in the town.
Sixty dollars for the repair fund rewarded
the efforts of our musical friends. Most of
those who had part in the program are from
out of town; but Miss Coleman, whose
banjo solo was enjoyed by all, is one Of our
own young ladies, well known about here
for her musical ability. Mr.. Tucker, the
soloist, whose rich, tenor voice has pleased
US each year, is from Roxbury. Miss Joy
from Ellsworth plays the violin with the
skillful touch that comes from talent and
good training Mrs. Hallet from Brook
line has delighted us all for several sum
mers with her musical soprano voice and
her charming personality. Mr.. Howe from
New Jersey is newcomer. May he come
again, and bring his violin with him! This
is compliment to any vio]inist, for of
all instruments the violin is the one that
must be well played to be even endur-
ed. Mr.. Cate of Salem is coming again,
and judging from expressions of pleasure
when he sang, all will be glad to welcome
him next year. One who was accustomed
to the best in music was heard to say, sob,
| should like to hear him often Miss
fuckers readings from Rebecca were a
pleasing diversion. The little musical
sketch, ''The Professor at Home was ex-
ceedingly bright and amusing. Miss Flor
ence Hallet's singing was as sweet as her
self in her "Grandma's Advice" and in the |
encore that followed. The program was as
follows:

WHAT CAN BE DONE TODAY.
But there are other means of making
the Missouri contribute to American
prosperity. Your correspondent was
fortunate enough to take trip of some
hundred miles up the river on a steam
er, piloted by the last of the old-time
river kings, Captain Grant Marsh, IA
nous as pilot and river explorer under
Custer, Forsythe, Sheridan, Miles, and
an important factor in many Indian ex-
petitions. There was little in common
in my uneventful trip and such a one as
when Captain Marsh brought back to
Bismarck the first news of the dreadful
Custer massacre, which made 26 widows
of army officers stationed at Fort Lin
coin, just across the river, and brought
likewise a score of wounded soldiers
from Reno's detached troops. The Sioux
have had their passing, and ranchers
and farmers may dwell and till without
fear of swift humiliation from maratd-
ng braves. But from the pilot house
of the little steamer l could discern, in
the not far future, development along
the Missouri which would work yet
greater change than that of the past
decade. For hundreds of miles the river
is encompassed by steep bluffs from 200
to $50 feet high and from two to three
miles apart. Between these the river
winds, stream of from quarter to a
half mile wide, gradually changing its
course from side to side, but forming
great areas of 'bench" lands, twenty,
thirty, and fifty feet high-hundreds of
thousands of acres of surprisingly fer
tile soil, needing only irrigation. And
the watering of this land turns out to
be among the easiest of projects.
RICH COAL BEDS FOR PUMPING.
Every bluff of the Missouri showed a
coal vein of from inches to - feet in
thickness; in fact enormous areas of
