Unwisdom of Widov6ood

If you wish to marry it is unwise to
be a widow. That is the curious con-
clusion that energies from the last re-
port Of the registrar general. In 1870
q Ito widows In 1000 found hus-
bands. In 1904 there were but 1919 In
1000 who again attempted the mar

increasing tendency to be content with
their lot. In 1870 60 $40 widowers out
Of 1000 took second wives. In 1904
there were but a poor So per 1000.
Cynics may infer that these facts have
some bearing on what the registrar

With the Schools
The Study OF Latin.

There are several reasons why Lat
in has been given a prom nent place
in high school courses Of study.
These reasons are:
/. Colleges require a certain am' unit
of Latis for entrance and as all !'igh
schools aim to fit students for collcg'
these requirements must he met.
2 The stldy of Latin is IA most eN-
cellent preparation for the study Of
many European languages In fact
Spanish. French, Italian and 10 tn
guese are but moHerniZed Latin In
The Spanish language particularly
many Of the verb forms are practically
identical with those of Latin. The
great majority of the nouns are SIM
lar and many of them are identical in
The two languages.
3. The larger part of the words Of
the English language are derived from
Latin and no one can ave lh' 70
understanding of the words Of the
English language unless lie Stndics
Latin
4. EnglSh grammar is better un-
dersiuud after having studied Ll'in
grammar. Indeed many persons AS
Sert that they never comprchrnd'd
English grammar until they had stud
led Latin.
5 1t is fact noted by all scholars
that translation from Il foreign Ian
,,age is une of he best means of train
ing o. e to express himself well IN his
own language.
& Translation from Latin is an ex
cellent discipline for the mind and
mental discipline is, after all, the
main thing to be sought in an cduca
ti0n.
I The study of Latin continued
through four years in the high school
puts the pupil in touch with the great
writers o. antiquity. lie thinks over
again the thoughts which have infiu-
enced the great minds of all ages and
and he is the better for it.
The study of latin is the study Of
nne OF the .'humanilies. so called be-
cause it broadens our sympathies. en-
arges our IDEAS and refines our NOR

NEr-FIsHING IN THE LAKES.
80w the Fresh Water Fish Are CaD-
t0rsd for the Aarksts sR
q. the Cosatsy. A

Practically all commercial fishing in
fresh waters is carried on by the use
of nets, whether rowboat or an up
to-date tug is employed. The gill net is
the handiest and is much used in Lake
Erie. This forms fence on the bottom
OF the lake about six feet high and any
where from 800 feet to several miles
long These nets are made of thin cord
and can be slowed away in very small
compass. says the Buffalo Express. A
fish will swim against the fence Of net
ting, get its head caught in the mesh,
and will stay there until taken out by
the fishermen. The nets are kept in
position in the water by lead sinkers
on the bottom and cork bobs on top.
The entire net is also anchored secure
~, while the spot is marked by buoy.
Gill nets often come in sections 300
1eet long. and are fastened together in
gangs. Fishing tugs often set gang
that is over four miles long. Each boat
is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets, whose use in New York
waters is prohibited, are used in Ohio
and Canadian waters. They form large
receptacles in the water into which
hsh find their way and are prevented
from getting out by trap-like ar
rangement at the entranc,. Game fish
are often caught in pound nets. Then
there are also smaller trap nets, fyke
nets, and many other varieties, some
OF which are peculiar TO different To-
calities.
Some commercial fishing is carried
on by the use of set lines for surgeons,
etc.. but such means are not extern
sively employed.
