this a final survey is made and samples
of oysters are tested for their yield.
If satisfactory the news is announced
that fishery will be held. 1t spreads
like wildfire not only through Ceylon
itself but the whole of India, Malay and
up to the Persian Gulf, and the natives
in these districts hurry to the island.
A shanty town springs up at Marich-
chukkadi at the mouth Of the Mod
ragam river. 1t IS inaccessible, prac-
tically vacant, and neglected, but in
the season it Is the hub of excitement.
Streets Of primitive dwellings fashioned
of bamboo poles with a roof Of palm
leaves spring up to accommodate some
As, 600 natives, relieved by one or two
bungalows in which agents and officials
reside. The seafront becomes crowded
with a fleet of boats, some crazy and
fragile, others large, roomy and stoutly
built, drawn up in one long line at an
chor. Under government control no
limit was placed upon the number Of
vessels, but now severe restrictions are
imposed in order to curtail undue COM
petition.
At this time the weather Is most pro-
pitious. The sea is calm, especially
during the day. Everything is carried
out in methodical manner according to
strict schedule. A signal gun Is fired
about midnight and directly frightful
din arises from the raucous banging Of
tomtoms and other weird and discord-
ant instruments beating the boat crews
and divers to quarters. The keenest
excitement prevails as some 800 boats
strive to first reach the oyster paars.
Each boat carries native divers attir-
ed in a crude loin cloth. The diver
closes his nostrils with a piece Of horn

A Japanese Leuend.

One of the prettiest of all the stories relating to mirrors Is that which comes from Japan. In thisn man brings as n gift to his wife a mirror of sllvered bronze. Then she, having seen noth- ing of the kind before, asks in the in- nocence of her heart whose was the pretty face smiling back at her. And when, laughing, he tells her 1t Is none other than her own she wonders stiil more, but is ashamed to. ask further questions. But when at last her time comes to die she calls her little daugh- ter and gives her the treasure she has long kept hidden away as sacred thing, telling her: After I am dead you must look fin this mirror morning and evening and you will see me. Do not grieve." So when the mother is dead the girl, who muSh resembles her, looks in the mirror day by day, think Ing she there talks face to face with the dead woman and never guessing 1t Is but her own reflection sne sees. And 1t Is added by the old Japanese narrator that when the girls father learned the meaning of this strange conduct of hers. 'he thinking 1t to be a very piteous thing, his eyes grew dim with tears"

This Small World.

About ten years ago, when I was living in a village in illinois," said the red headed man, "I had business to call me to London. My getting ready for the trip was the talk of the place. and a day or two before I started I was visited by farmer who was an Englishman and who said:
 eff you are going to London would you mind seeing my brother Jim and telling him his brother Tom over here is well and doing well and wants him to write oftenerT
 "'what is your brothers other nameT I asked.
 "'Smith, sir-Jim Smith,

 After a few minutes, when the other grew stronger, the physician continued in tender, kindly tone: IT. am glad I was with you, seeing we were booked for casualties. Some one Aight have taken your money and left you to die. As 1t is. everything Is all right"
 "Oh. Horton, 1 am so glad, too, for my wife's saker' And Jacks hand sought that of the doctor.

 The blue and white gown, torn and badraggled, followed closely in the wake of these devoted friends, and little Mrs. Engle climbed up the steps of the homeward bound coach behind them.
 After Jack was comfortably settled his friend said, "Now must look after the lady who so bravely helped bring you back from the borderland."
 The gown with the medicine splashes on 1t slipped into the seat just behind them. and Rose looked up as Dr. Hor- ton rose to go.

 She smiled faintly in answer, and he was laid timidly on his shoulder, and he looked around.
 "Would a surprise-a glad one-hurt him?" she asked tremulously.
 The wondering doctor shook his head in the negative and waited for her to go on. Leaning forward a tri- fie, she whispered something in his ear.
 With a misty gladness shining In his eyes pr. Horton grasped the situation as best he could and asked, "You don't expect to meet your wife on this train. do you, JackI"
 "Oh. no; sife is safe at homer was the quick reply.
 But suppose now," continued the doctor. that she is here somewhere. Would you know her, old fellow, If you saw her in this car?"
 Horton, what makes you talk that way?" queried the other, sitting erect and growing curious.
 X movement behind them drew Jacks attention, and his question was answered, so Dr. Horton simply chang ed places with the owner of the blue and white gown. leaving his friend to solve the problem of Mrs. Engle's presence at his own sweet will.
 When Aunt Nykirk opened the door at midnight for her niece she grum- bled in sleepy disgust. But little Mrs Engle threw her arms around her neck
