influence of Tide on Fishing.

From Outing Magazine.
The most essential thing in sea fishing,
next to tackle and bait. is tide table.
because all marine fishes. except the fiat
fish-fiounder api fiuke-are captured
more readily at certain tide. The main
cause for such is that fish are more
active in their search for food generally
on the food tide.
Vast schools Of little fishes move close
into shore on the incoming tide, working
their way into the smaller bays and
inlets, especially near the edge OF banks,
where they feed on the small crustaceans,
shrimps and little minnows that can eff
fectually hide from their larger enemies
when the tide is low and the large fish
are unable to get at them in very shoal
water.
1t is a common and interesting sight to
see a school of weakfish slowly moving
Suddenly one sees the smooth surface
all in commotion, minnows and silvery
spearfng leap frantically in all directions,
looking like flashes Of diamonds. then in
stantly disappear to certain death. At
such times anglers should be ready with
ing forty feet away baited with live
shrimps. -
Tide affects bottom feeders though not
to such a large extent Fishing from
piers and docks just an hour before and
after flood is most likely to give good
results. On wrecks much depends on the
kind of fish; the last of the ebb and AT
low tide Is considered the worst condition
for general fishing. In the open sea on the
banks tidal influence counts for little or
nothing; any. tide is as good as another
In surf casting, soon after the tide be-
gins to flow in till an hour after 1t re-
cedes. is invariably the best part of the
day for the majority Of fishes.

BRITISH RAILWAY.
The Question Of Naturalization Now
Prominent.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
Aside from the periodical scare over the
progress Of other nations in building ma
vies and the proposed reform Of the poor
laws. no measure in Great Britain is at
tracing more public attention than the
bill before the house of commons. ordered
to its second reading recently. which au-
thorizes the consolidation of three British
railway systems into one. The roads in
question. the Great Northern. Great Cen
trail and Great Eastern. have a capitalize
ton Of $S15. .0OO. 900, about one-eighth of
the entire capitalization of railroads in
the United Kingdom. The combined mile
age of the three roads Is 2.67O, about 11.6
per cent of the %, 1OS miles in the United
Kingdom.
Private ownership of railways. has
awakened little opposition in Great Britain
for many years. But the tendency of the
times Is toward consolidation of lines,
some of which are parallel and competing
For such consolidation an act of parlia-
ment is necessary. When 1t is recalled
that 145 companies are nominally now
operating railways in England. Scotland
wales and Ireland, representing about $50
owning companies, the significance of the
proposed consolidation OF the Great
Northern Great Central and Great East
ern lines becomes apparent.
Although the government is supporting
the bill. much opposition has been ex-

THE ROAD TO FORTUNE.
The Gospel Of Saving Money Preach

From the BOokkeeper.
A young man who would have a COM

make sacrifices for the first two or three
years Say that you. for instance, are
earning $50 week. At the present time
you may be spending nearly all of this,
as thousands of others are doing. Now.
during the first year you must save 81 ,0OO
Why" you exclaim. IF I should save
$1,000 a year that would make $4,000 at
the end Of ten years, without counting the
interest. You're off in your f1guring.'
But wait. We are supposing now that
you are having your share of prosperity
and that at different times within the
next few years you will have doctors
bills to pay and may even>be without en-
ployment at times. These things must be
taken into consideration If you would
save $4,000 In ten years.
so the f1rst year you save 81 600 This
leaves you a little less than $11 a week
upon which to live during that time. Per-
haps you will have to move out of your
present home and rent one that is cheap-
er. For time 1t will also be necessary
for you to contract fewer tailoring hills.
and In all probability you will get your
wife to aid you in economizing; but YOU
must save LOCO during that year and you
will find that you can do it,
In the second year your load will be-
come lighter. and then you will see why

The Health Of Our Immigrants.
the February Craftsman.

FROM the feDfuafy CfaItsmdu.
The immigrants to our country. Of
whom the port of New York receives
100000 or more a year, furnish a large
proportion of our consumptives. But.
contrary to the general belief, they are
exceptionally healthy on arrival. The
majority of them have been accustomed
to outdoor living and an environment en-
tirely different from that in which they
settle down. Commissioner of Immigra-
tion Watchorn has said: Il do not hesi-
tate to express the opinion that the
stream of immigration pouring into this
country is so nearly absolutely unat-
tended by this dread disease as to render
It a mighty important factor in securing
social conditions favorable to individual
immunity" In other words, If we should
give these people ordinary facilities for
keeping healthy. instead of permitting
them to become rapidly diseased, they
as they are for evil in this matter.
When New York's laboring population is
universally provided with light and airy
homes and workshops. the greatest step
toward the eradication of tuberculosis
from the community will have been taken.

81 a week out of SIS week for 72S weeks
seems stupendous at first, but when you
figure it out carefully you will see that
1t Is not so difficult after all. In the first
place. you would have to save 81 a week
only for the first year. just as the man
who was working for $4,000 had to save
81 900 for the first year only. At the end
cf the first year you would have 1864.
BY the end Of the second year this would
have earned you $3.50 at per cent,
SO that this year you would need to save
only $345SO instead of 1854. or $6.65 a
week. During the third year you would
have $728 working for you, which at
per cent would earn $36. 40 leaving you
$500 to save each week that year. Fig
uring in this way in the beginning of
your sixth year you would have to lay
aside only $3.50 weekly: at the beginning
of your ninth. $42O. and at the beginning
of your twelfth. only s3.15. Yet at the
end of your fourteenth year you would
have saved over $4,000. which, properly
employed. would mean a great deal to
you in the years to come.

OBSERVED FOR CENTURIES
CELEBRATION OF THE FEAST OF
THE PENTECosT.
Young Men and Wom-
en- Received Into Congregation OF
the Eighth Street Temple.

Twenty-tWo Young men and women
were received into the congregation OF
the Eighth Street Temple by Rabbis
Simon and Stern this morning. 1t was the
celebration of the feast of the Pentecost,
which has been the great festival OF the
Jewish Church for thirty-five centuries
the season of the year when the trees
are budding and when the young are
taken into the fold of the church.
The feast began at sundown yesterday
and in commemoration Of the event a
sermon was preached by Rabbi Simon at
the temple last evening. He said, IN
part:
Feast Centuries Old.
"The Feast of the Pentecost is thirty
five centuries old. and we have sur
rounded it with the halo of boyhood and
girlhood 1t is sweet kind OF JOY
that we feel. We of this latter day
have enveloped it in beauty. The feast
is deeply significant.
.'Childhood is a composite of all the
past, and is a prophecy-of the future. We
intrust the future of the church to the
child of today. 1t is a day involving
the greatest responsibility. Therefore
while we have surrounded our holidays
cept it's burdens.
Remember that thousands of years
ago there was peculiar feeling about
the census-that is, the roster OF the
church. 1t was regarded as unlucky and
dangerous. 1t was feared that men might
gain wrong impressions from 1t. IL
might give a sense of false security.
Some said it would lead to a reliance
upon mere physical strength instead OF
a reliance upon God. Men, knowing the
strength of their battalions, would fail to
invoke the aid of God before going to
battle Now, Israers entire history Is
opposed to large battalions.
Not a Militant Conquest.
1T is not to be thought that the con-
quest of our people has been a military
one. We have sought our victories, and
gained them, in other fields. But 1t is the
irony of history that the people who
most wanted peace were the victims OF
war. A peaceful nation has been the
victim Of others"
Rabbi Simon said it was a mistake to
think that children should not be taken
into the church at an early age one OF
the arguments used against this practice
was that childhood had no conception
of religion, and that children should be
allowed to grow up to an age Wnere
they could intelligently choose their own
faith. This. he said, would too often
result in their having no faith at all. A
child, he said, should be taken into the
church at an early age and raised IN an
atmosphere of religion that would re-
main with it throughout life.
