The SUGGESTIONS
OF FISHERMEN
They Are Almost as Numerous
and Varied as the Fishes
of the Sea-"
From the Los Angeles Times.

In BRUSH Columbia the Indians cere-
moniously went to meet the first sal
mon. and in f1attering voices tried to
win their favor by calling them all
chiefs.
Every spring in California the Ka-
raks used TO dance for salmon. Mean
while one of their number secluded
himself in the mountains and tasted
for 10 days. Upon his return he SOL
enemy approached the river, took the
it, and with the remainder lighted a
sacrificial fire. The same Indians la
boriously climbed to the top
after the poles for the spearing booth,
being convinced that if they We're gath
cred where the salmon We're watching
no fish would be caught.
Ia Japan, anlong the primitive race
OF the Amos. even the women left at
home are not allowed to talk. lest the
fish may hear and disapprove, while
the first fish is always brought in
through a indow instead of a door,
so hat other fish may not see.
The Esquimaux women of Alaska
sew While the men are fishing,
and should amy mending be imperative
they do it shut up IL, little tents out of
sight Of the sea.
Under no circumstances onthe north
cas- coast of Scotland will a fisherman
at sea mention certain objects on land,
such as "minister," Kirk" 'swine,'
dog" etc. and h line will lsurely be
lost il q pig is seen while batting it. AS
on the Land. chickens must not be
counted until they are matched. so at
sea fish must not be counted until they
are all caught.
1t is good uck to find mice nibbling
among the nets: a horseshoe nailed to
the mast will help, and a herring
caught and sailed down will produce
wonders.
In the Shetland islands a cat must
not be mentioned before a man batting
his line. and among the Magyars Of
Hungary a fisherman will turn back
and wait over Il tide if he meets a
wearing a white apron.
Every year the natives of the Duke
of York island decorate a canoe with
flowers and fern. FIJI it with shell
money and cast it adrift ito compen-
safe the fish for their fellows caught
and eaten"
1t was always the custom OF tho
Maoris, the primitive Inhabitants of
New Zealand, to put the first fish that
they caught back into the sea with a
prayer that 1T might tempt other fsll to
come and be caught"

Well. that small bear had become a
great pet, and the children feed him all

and other things. So when the bear
got that alleged corn bread he wasn't

Two pounds of 1t. The rest he kicked

Olga, like SO many children who are

One day before the outbreak of the

nurse along the NevskN Prospect. the
principal street in st. Petersburg. The
little grand duchess simply wonld not
behave. but was continually jumping
up and attracting the attention of peo-
pie along the streets.
Suddenly the child dropped back in
her seat. and sat bolt upright as quiet
as you please, her hands folded de-
murely in her lap. After a mn
she turned TO her nurse and said: Did
YOU see that policeman The nurse
replied she had. bat there was nothing
extraordinary about a policeman on the
street. 'But this one was writing
something pursued Olga. II am afraid
!e was writing. IT saw Olga and she
was very naughty.' When the nurse
replied that this was unlikely. Olga re-
minded her. somewhat r~eproachfully,
that a few days before they had seen
a policeman arresting a woman. and
when Olga had begged that she be left
off, the nurse had replied that the wo-
man deserved to be arrested, adding
that one had to be very naughty indeed
to be taken off by the policeman in
that way.
The incident evidently made a deep
impression upon the child. AS soon as
she could she related the whole affair
to the tsar and the tsaritsa and ended
by asking her father il ne had ever
been arrested. The Emperor laughed
and said he had never been quite
naughty enough for that, to which Olga
exclaimed. 20. how very good you must

From Life.

from Lille.
The other day a man travelling on
a shore line train noticed. p%rotruding
from an overhead rack, a dress suit
ase which he recognized as belonging
to a friend. He knew that his friend
always got Off at the station which
they had just passed, and as he was
not in the seat, the conclusion was
inevitable that he had jumped off the
train and forgotten it.
The ma called Il conductor and
explained the case to him. After some
discussion, and a mild protest on the
part of the conductor that it wasn't
a part Of his duty. the suit case was
put off at the e station, with in
structions to send it back on the first
train the other way.
The man, feeling that he had lone
an able and friendly act, settled down
for the rest of his journey.
But not for long. The face of his
friend-who had been in the smoker,
and who happened, IN that particular
afternoon. to be going on to New
London to attend a dinner party
doomed before him.
The moral of this is, Of course. quite
evident.
Be sure you're right, then mind your
own business.
