Sardine fishing forms the chief in
dustry of Brittany. In an average
season the Brittany sardine fisher
pounds of sardines. for which they
receive anything from 100000 to
100000. while the shore industries de-
pendent upon this fishery give en-
ployment to 10000 other persons. most
ly women and girls. So important is
the Sardine that in many communities
in Brittany every person is directly or
indirectly supported by it. and the fail
ure of the fish to come means ruin.
starvation and death TO many people
in the more isolated places.
Sardines are found on the coast of
Brittany throughout the year. but
flourish in greater abundance in sum
mer and autumn As many as 10O,-
coo have been taken at one time in
one net from one school. One remark
able feature of Sardne fishing in Brit
tany is the enormous amount of bait
which is used. The bait in general
use is the sailed eggs of the Goldfish.
and il is estimated that the Breton
fishermen pay 100000 every year to
Norway for cod roe for use as bait.
The casting of the bait. ON the prop
err use of which Il great deal of the sue
cess of the fishing depends. is always
done by the captain of the boat. who
stands on Il little platform in the stern
and while directing the movements of
the boat and the manipulation of the
net throws the bait to attract the fish
to the surface and around the boat
When the fish are on one side of the
net or on the other his next move is
to cast the bait in such a way as to
cause them TO rush against the net and
thus become gilled. -London Tit-Bits.

PRAYING AND PREY1NG

1The high cost of living laid at the
door of the farmer and wage Garner
by our opponen IS, is due to other causes
entirely. Our opponents want to pray
for us five minutes a week and prey
upon us the rest of tho week.
Farmers do not ger too much for
their products nor wage earners too
much for their labor, and, if I read
the signs of the times rightly, the
grinding of the masses for the profit
of the few will not continue everlast-
ingly. We're going to get more, and
then more, until the right of life, lib

THE. ANGLE OF REPosE.
Deperdo Wholly on the Friction Of the
Materials In Contact.

Deperde Wholly on the Friction of the
Materials In Contact.
The angle of repose is we'll known
term in the science Of mechanics. but.
besides being used in purely theoret-
zeal problems. is taken into account by
railroad and other engineers. Suppose
that We take brick and lay it on a
board and then gradually raise one
end of the board. There will be Il GER
tain angle reached in time where the
brick will not remain at rest on the
board. but will start to slide down.
This is termed the angle of repose of
the brick on the board. 1t is at that
point where the component of force
due to gravity overcomes the resist
ance due to friction between the two
surfaces. Therefore the angle de-
ponds entirely on the friction. Erie
ton varies with the materials in con-
tact. So the angle of repose of a brick
on pine board would be different
than its angle of repose on an iron
board. say.
Now for the application of this in
ordinary life. When railroad cut has
to be made the sides have to be suffi-
GENTLY slanting to keep the earth or
clay from caving in. The same APP
plies when ditch is dug or when for
tifcations are built in time of war.
The angle necessary for this is Of
course the angle Of repose of the par
ticular kind of material through which
the cut is made as measured by itself
on itself. as it contains millions of in
dividual particles in contact. The an
gle in this instance is determined with
utmost ease and simplicity. A pile of
the material is put into an open cylin-
der. packed down slightly. and the cyl
inder is then removed. Of course the
pile Immediately slumps down into a
mound with slanting sides. the angle
of which is the one wanted. This an
gle is somewhat smaller than the one
that would be taken by compact earth
and therefore allows Il good margin of
safety.
There are tables got out for the en-
gineer to refer to. but it is. always
wiser to make trial for every par
ticular condition of the soil. for there
are hardly two cuts made through ex-
actly the same kinds of material in
exactly the same condition.-Chicago

More Exposures Made from New Source in Insur-

NEW YORK, April Civilian H. Hotchkiss, state superintendent of in- surance, through the books of Filing. wood X Cunningham, brokerage firm which failed in 1904, uncovered today a new trail of the acceleration of in surance legislation at brief session of the fire insurance inquiry today.
 He discovered that substantial sums, according to the records of the concern, had been accredited to various members of the legislature between 1900 and 1904, at times when bills affecting New York transportation companies were up for consideration at Albany
 The only legislator whose name he disclosed, however, was that of Louis Bodell, formerly assemblyman from Goshen.
 James w. Cunningham, former mem Der of the brokerage firm, was the only witness of the day. On the advice of counsel, he declined to produce the full accounts of the company, but he turned over to Mir. HOtchkiss accounts suffi- cent to throw Bodell s name into the limelight.

INSOMNIA MAY BE
 CURED BY PRAYER

A powerful and always-to be-utilized aid to cure insomnia is prayer,-not the prayer of the inteIlect,-a frozen, mean ingless repetition of words, but the prayer of the heart. By prayer-sin- cere, fervent prayer-it is possible to set loose forces of healing, uplifting energy that work seemingly miraculous changes in one's whole being. Religion teaches this, and it is abundantly con frmed by human experience.
 In the words of Drs. Worcester and McComb, the leaders in the Emmanuel Movement of Christian psychotherapeu- tics, "We cannot set aside as delusion the experience of high-minded men in all ages who testify that by prayer they have been enabled to rise above physical weakness, to conquer tempta- tion, to face the terrors of shipwrecli and earthquake, and to meet with dig nity death itself.'
 Prayer, indeed, is to be recommended as a direct aid to the cure of insomnia, because of it's great pacifying, s0oth- ing effect on the mind. There are phy- sicans who do not hesitate to affirm that it is by far the best medicine for insomnia with which they are ac- quainted. Only year or so ago, Dr. Thomas Hyslop, the head of a large English asylum, boldly stated to the British Medical association that in all his years of practise he had found nOth- ing to equal prayer as a sleepproduc- ing agent.-Delineator

NEW YORK, April 6.-Those now silent individuals, known to the police and federal officers as "Eddie' Fay and "Little Dick" Harris, charged with the recent robbery of tue Rich mond, Va., postoffice, in which more than $S0,000 was obtained, were so piqued after their arrest that they could not resist cOngratulating their captors and admitting their identity, according to the testimony of pOstof- flee inspectors at the arraignment of the prisoners in New York today.

 Bids for this work will be received up to noon today As yet no bids have been received, but as it is the GUS tom of many bidders to wait until a few minutes before the closing time be. fore placing their estimates, it is prob able that several bids will be received today.
 A representative of the Fl Paso Bridge & Iron company is now in this city and will place bid. As bids for both steel and suspension bridges were asked for by the council, it is probable that a number of local bids on the construction of the suspension type of bridge will be placed.
 According to present indications few other matters of importance will come before the council at tonight 's session.

Sometimes they listen for hours to the reading of a hypothetical question which they are expected to answer in three or four words and afterwards sub init to crOssfre of questions especially prepared by five or six attorneys who have been cramming for weeks and are eager to have them fall into traps laid for them. Few college presidents, it is said, know as much Greek or Latin as the students in the junior classes who are fresh from their books. The expert witness is in the same fix. Sometimes the lawyers manner angers the wit ness, and at the first chance he retail ates with embarrassing consequences for the lawyer.
