"Fine dayw has become a stereoty-
ped phrase here; every one you meet
will have this universal greeting; it
has grown to be a habit; all through
August and September and now at the
beginning of October the same condi-
tions prevailed, but how long it will
last ever the weather bureau is unable
to tell. III consequence the Sunday
excursion trains which were announced
up to October 2 are to be continued for
the next four Sundays, October 8, Is,
% and 80, and if as well filled as last
Sunday it will pay, when a twelve-car
special and a four-car regular train
brought a large number of amateur
fishermen to Anglesea, who found the
vessels waiting for them and though
the wind was high some went out to
the deep sea and others inside, while a
goodly number fished at the pier and
along the beach, where the amount Of
the small blue fish amply repaid their
exertions. The boats that went u to
sea and those who wen inside were
well filled with passengers.

Speaking of big and little fishes, in
Germany the Jews have a praiseworthy
rule that no stranger of their faith pas
sing through their town on Friday eve
ming should begin their Sabbath hun
cry and notice is left with the Rabbi
by such people as are willing to furnish
the supper. A miser left such an invi-
tation and a stranger anne. AT supper
consisting of fish the stranger noticed
that to him were apportioned the small
lest, while the miser took the large Ones.
To the surprise of the miser he saw
that his guest did not eat but stopped
down to his plate and mumbled some
thing inaudibly. What are you doing,
why don't you eat? said he. The guest
replied: | am trying to get some lnfor-
nation; four months ago | lost my
brother at sea and never recovered his
body, SO | asked them whether they
had not come across his body, but they
said they were entirely too small yet
but that if | would inquire of some of
the older and larger fish on the other
plate | might get the information
desired. Give with a full and joyful
heart and not merely because it is the
fashion.
