COD FISHING.
Extent of the Industry mt Mfquelon
and 81. Pierre.

Coo fishing is done with dories and
travis. The dorles are fiat bottomed,
sloping sided boats which fit into one
another In the ships waist economic
ing space thereby. Each dory takes
two men, and the whole crew, except
the captain and the cook, go of in
them every suitable day and set the
travis In the water outward from the
ship like spokes from the hub OF Il
wheel. Travis are long lines, each
with 5000 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, being baited again when
overhauled. The fish are taken to the
vessel in the dOrieS, eyiscerated,
washed and sailed. This routine con-
tinues 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 of. Then
they scrub each fish with 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 sew
eral 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 or
cod are displayed there on fine day.
Every evening or If fog or rain threat
ems the fish are gathered up again and
are covered with tarpaulins. The proc
ess 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 a
vessel is obtained, it is packed into her
hold and shipped to market. The ex-
tent of the cod fishing Of Miquelon and
st. Pierre may be indicated by the rec
ord of the catch of these islands In
1902. which was 72,500,0OO pounds.
While much of the annual product Is
exported to other countries, France nat
urally gets the larger part. In fact, st.
Pierre furnishes three-fourths OF all
the Goldfish used in France.-Booklov-
ers' Magazine.

Japan's Dirty Streets.

Those who are enraptured with the
poetic side of Japan would receive a
shock from the streets of Moji or its
sister town, Simonoseki. They are as
prosaic and as dirty as those of the
worst part Of the "black country" Ev-
cry one bears the traces of toll. The
streets are narrow and tOrtuous and
have that indescribable "slummy"
smell 0he nearest approach to q Gs-
scriptiOn can be a combination Of the
odors of boiled cabbage and spilled
parafin) familiar in the back streets OF
London. The children, too, often show
plain traces that their mothers are
busy at other work than caring for
them. The roadways are without foot
paths, and on wet days are anything
but pleasant. Drainage is exceedingly
primitive. Every shop has its front
open all day even in winter times.
The streets are ever tangled con-
fusion Of pavement merchants, Of pa
tient coolies carrying heavy burdens,
OF laughing children, of rare horses or
cattle carrying provisions, Of shouting
rickshaw men. Even here, in place
where foreigners are counted by the
units, many Of the men, but practically
none of the women, have put on Euro

Bishop Doane's Law.

AS there is a law against burying In
the city of Albany, the bishop had to
have a special act Of the legislature to
be buried in the cathedral. He was
successful in having the act pass the
lawmakers. but his friends were as
founded and worried when they read
its text. 1t began with the usual verbi-
age. The ending was something like
this:
Eve do grant that Bishop Doane be
buried within the precincts of the
cathedral at Albany. This act shall
take effect Immediately"

PLACE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY.


I0nal INSTITUTION.
Both because Of It's antiquity and BE-
cause OF the many historical memories
that arc associated with e. Fraunces
Tavern In New York well deserves TO
bo taken over by the city and main
talned as public property forever.
Short OF that. however. It Is not I'm
fitting that Il should now become the
headquarters OF the New York State
Society OF the Sons OF the Revolution.
which has now purchased Il.
The tavern stands at the sowheaat
corner OF Broad and Pearl streets. and
originally was the mansion OF the Do
lancey family. Having later been
turned into a tavern. Il became as
early as 17Gs assured OF historical
memory, for in that year II witnessed
the organization OF the New York
Chamber OF Commerce
The event which gave Il its widest
fame, however, was Wnshlngion's fare
well meeting with his officers at the
close OF the revolutionary war, Wash
ington chose II for his headquarters
when he entered the city after the
evacuation by tho British. He 70.
manned in New York but nine days
and then at noon on Thursday, Dec. 4,
1888, he summoned the chiefs OF his
army 10 meet him In the great room
OF the tavern.
II was one OF the few occasions In
washington's life when he gave way
to emotion. With the men before him
he had shared the perlls and hardships
OF the long years OF the war His
words 10 them were with heart
full OF love and gratitude nov take
leave of you. and most deyoutly wish
your latter days may be as prosper
Gus and happy as your former ones
have been glorious and honorable"
He drank their health, and after a
pause said 81 cannot come 70 each
OF you to take my leave, but shall be
Obliged II you viii each come and
shake me by the hand" Gen. Knox
came forward FIRST and then the other
officers silently In turn.
Afterwards, as before. tho tavern
was long the gathering place Of the
men Of wealth and fashion Of New
York. Many political movement in
the early days Of the republic had It's
headquarters there. and the meetings
of the Clinton men. who called them
selves Federal Republican," are
especially remembered Few Amerl-
can buildings have had an active

which stretched over so long period
as had Frances Tavern.
