DULLNESS is MANIFESTED.
Many Boats Are Laid Up Because of
Scarcity of Work.

Just at present there is n midsum-
mer dullness being felt in marine cir
cles all over the lakes, says the Duluth
Herald.
1t Is estimated by local marine men
that total of fifty boats, which were
in commission at the beginning of the
season, are now laid up because there
Is not enough work to go around.
The dizziness IL attributed, for the
most, part to the light movement OF
ore down the lakes. The demand Is
light, and only the boats that have
season charters are constantly busy.
The dizziness coming at this time Of
the year looks bad to the vessel men,
although they remain optimistic. This
should be a busy part of the season,
although the greatest rush of the year
always comes late in the fall.
"A number of boats have of late been
laid up i'm the local harbor, and there
are several which have been at anchor
several days and may be ordered laid
up at any time.

VERY LIKE BUSINESS MATTER
Little Romance in Many OF the Mar
riages Contracted by Ger
man Couples.

From the beginning the little Ger
man girl is trained to matrimony. Eat
your fish fresh and marry your daugh-
ter while she is young" runs the Ger
man proverb. The girl, coming from
race of practical-minded, deft-handed
people with a counter-balance of ideal
ism, has her dreams of a fairy prince.
They dwindle and fade in the face of
realities till at last she is glad to
marry a sober business man from 10
to 30 years her senior. This dis
crepancy In years is due TO the cir
cumstance that a man In Germany, ac-
cording to government regulations,
must spent so many years in prepare
ton for his profession that by the
time he is able to support a wife he
is at the age when an American man
has already made the initial success
OF his career. But men and women
are anxious enough TO marry.
When other hope fails some of
them advertise, for many German
newspapers have a kind of marriage
market In their columns. Such add
vertisements read:
Il am still young, strong, and with
a fortune of 10000 marks. How shall
| go about getting a husband? Kind
advice sought by - and so on"
"a Jewish lady of 25, beautiful, with
a dowry of 100000 marks, would like

lily. She would be willing to be bap-
tiled into his religion. A meeting must
be arranged for in a dignifed man.

Proud Of His Prospects.

Louis Pierre was one OF number
of Canadian immigrants who settled
at Fitzgerald, Ga. AS he spoke both
French and English, he rapidly be-
came a man of Importance, and was
successfully elected to the Offices of
city marshal, coroner and justice of
the peace.
A dispute arose between the French
and English settlers as to the supe-
riority of the United States over the
Canadian provinces. They finally
agreed to leave the decision to Judge
Pierre, who handed down this deci-
sion:

PECULIAR VISION OF FISH
Hypothesis That Seems TO Explain
the Constant Revolution Of
the Eyeball.

The medium in which fresh-water
fishes live gives them a chance to see
a great distance only in the horizontal
direction. II seems impossible to ex.
plain the constant revolution of the
eyeball on any other hypothesis ex-
cept that the optical axis extends for
ward instead of sidewise.
When a fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or
at the surface of the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in this
case the eyes are instantly adjusted
in line with the body, so as to bring
the image of the particle desired upon
the posterior portion of the retina.
In this case they lose their horizontal
position.
If q fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water, the first move
ment is that of the eyes in unison in
the direction of the turning. This
would be entirely unnecessary If the
apparent axis was the axis of the most
distinct vision, as one of the eyes
would see all that was to be seen on
the side of the turning. After this
movement of the eyes, the body turns
enough to bring the eyes into their
normal position, then there is again a
movement of the eyes, and next a
movement of the body. This causes
peculiar jerking motion of the eyeballs
during the whole time of the turning
of the body.

Uses Animals Make of Their Tails

Horses, cows and other creatures
use their tails as fly flappers. Cats,
squirrels and many more twist them
around their necks for comforters.
The rat has raised the use of the tail
to a fine art, for by its means 1t guides
the blind and steals jelly, oil and
cream out of jars and bottles.
The macaco plays as merrily with its
tail as a kitten does, and the marmo-
set while it sleeps uses its tail as a
sort of blanket.
The raccoon catches crabs with its
tail. Every one knows how the mon
keys journey through painless forests
by swinging from tree to tree. while
the fishes steer their way through the
water by their tail fins.
The ant eater puts up its big bushy
tail for an umbrella. The vanity of
the peacock is fed by the beauty of
its tail.--Dumb Animals.

and agreeable-that we don't know
exactly what our friends think of us
that the world is not made of look
Ing glass, to show us just the figure
we are making. and just what is going
on behind our backs! BY the help of
dear friendly Illusion, we are able to
dream that we are charming-and our
faces wear a becoming air of self
possession; we are able to dream that
other men admire our talents--and
our benignity is undisturbed; we are
able to dream that we are doing much
good-and we do little.-George

P0lSE OF TROUT AND KESTREl
Both the Fish and Bird Present Al
Turing Sight to the Lover of
Beauties of Nature.

AS the kestrel is to the clouds so is
the trout to the crystal waters. Both
kestrels and trout display that mag
ical poising, as If suspended by in
visible threads-only now and then,
when cross currents are encountered,
is q sign given to show that life itself
Is not In suspense.
A brief agitation of the kestrers
wings, a swishing of the trouts tall
the cross current is weathered, and
bird or fish poises motionless again.
And as when walking along we are
pulled up in ever fresh wonder by the
sight of the lowering kestrel, so we
must needs pause on a bridge when
there is a trout in the stream below.
He looks his best posing with head
to the stream--a shapely form against
the background of smooth brown peb-
bles and waving emerald weeds. Lean
over the bridge with eyes on the trout
vision Ia conjured-an alluring fly
drops on the water, then a slack lire
tightens, there is a song from the
reel, rod bends; there follows a daz-
cling dance of vermilion spots against
the green of the bank.
Or as we come to the bridge on a
winters day we think we hear a
mighty splashing of water over the
pebbles-which turns out to be the
play of 30 or 40 trout-the play of the
last round of some water tourney. AS
they come to the surface, rolling and
wallowing-their great fat sides look
twice as big as when seen through the
clear water-they almost make dam
across the stream as they jostle each
other seeking for the choicest places
on the spawning bed.
