section Of the fishery board for Scot
land. According to a paper By DR..
Wemyss Fulton, certain theories as to
the growth and age Of the fish which
have been accepted fci the last quar-
ter OF century are not well found
ed. II now appears that the herring
is fish Of slow growth, and Is barely
az inches in length when one year
old. It does not reach maturity and
spawn until five years old, and Is
then OF an average length Of sss
inches Herrings over Il inches long,
like the large Loch Fyna fish. may be

caught measuring from IA to 10
Inches, arc probably over 10 years

TEsTAToR's LAST WISHES.
Strange Request Regarding the Ar
ransement Of Funerals.


Sil James Colquhoun's desire to be
buried in full evening costume recalls,
says the London Evening Standard,
curious last wishes of other testa-
tors.
George Herring directed that his re-
mains should lie beneath a sundial at
the Haven of Rest, Maidenhead;
Queen Victoria planned the entire pro-
gramme for her funeral, even choos-
ing the music to be played and the an
thems to be sung.
A couple Of months ago a young
lady who died at Reigate on the eve
Of her wedding was buried in her
bridal dress, the friends who we're to
have been her bridesmaids attending
the funeral in gowns which they
should have worn at the wedding, and
carrying in place of wreaths the we'd
ding bouquets.
More singular was the funeral Of
Mai. Gen. Algernon Stewart at Has
combe, Surrey, is months ago. The
coffin was drawn to the grave by the
dead mans horse. The mourners
walked, and the bearers wore old
fashioned smocks. each with it's col
lar adorned with a text. The same
men appeared IN their mourning gar
ments at the church service on the
following Sunday.

How TO Walk.

In walking it is important to walk
as II one enjoyed It. Few women walk
as If it were a pleasure. Some wear
heels so high that they are compelled
to peg along. Others wear the low,
fiat heels that give a curious dumpy,
lumpy walk.
Then there are the women who
walk the side-toside waddle. This is
caused by heels that are run over and
clothing that is too tight. 1t is also
caused by carelessness. The waddle
walk is an easy one TO get in the habit
of and difficult one to overcome.
There are women who walk as II
they were carrying a burden. They
have the laborious motion of the
shoulders which tells that they are
uncomfortable.
If women could only be made to ap.
preciate what an important part OF
good locks a graceful carriage is
there would be no more poor wa,h>-s
among them.
