Now somebody rises in defense OF the
fishermen living in other places who go
tn Mcnhegan for the lobster fishing.
Writes Frank A. Lane of Monhegan to
the Boothbay Register: "Lobsters were
not placed in the ocean for any particu
lar fishermen, and l think one has the
same right as another to catch Holsters
that are in waters surrounding island
of M Jnhegan. Then, too. the greater
number of these fishermen that have
come over to the island this winter to
lobster are those who have in years
past been some of Monhegans most
successful men. who have owned q
great deal of property here and made
this their hOme--indeed, some own fine
property here now. I think when any

Cleaning Gilt Frames.

Water should never be put on gilt
frames They should be wiped with
dry cloth or chamois. This applies to
all metals and lacquered goods. After
a lacquered bed has once been wet and
polished it must be continually pol
ished, so the best plan is to keep II
dry as long as possible. Reaches are
deadly enemies of mirror backs, and
yearly ruin many thousands. For this
reason the old silver-back mirror is
passing away, and the new ones are
coated with composition that is proof
against insects. but that does not give
as fine reflection as the other sort.
