CATCHING HERRIMGS.
Practically the Same Methods Used
FOR a Thousand Years.

Practically the Same Methods Used
For Thousand Years
The Lowestoft fishermen say that
the method Of catching herrings
has scarcely changed during the last
thousand years or more and that
their nets must be the same in prin-
ciple as those which we're employed
before Richard the Lion Hearted
and his Crusaders sailed for the
Holy Land. The statement has
much Of truth in it, and when we
drift at our nets on the lonely sea,
with our great lamplike riding light
burning steadily amidships, we pre-
sent much the same spectacle that
could have been witnessed many
centuries ago. It was at night when
the herrings we're caught, and night
on the vast and melancholy waste
Of water hides that modernity
which only day reveals. There are
other riding lights and here and
there the masthead and side lights
Of a steamer going north OF south,
but the steel and iron hulls are only
guessed BY some chance glimmeE
from a port OF deck house.
And the men have changed but
little surelyl Their dress for work
is primitive, hiding all that is sug-
gestive Of the modern landsman.
There is a jumper which the skip
per and crew wear--a garment made
Of stout canvas and barked with the
sail cloth. It covers the arms and
trunk nearly to the knees, almost
as the coarse smock CARRIED the serf
Of old, and the men Of his rank
who would alone in those days 70
to sea to fish. The jumper in It's
long variety Is like nigbtdress.
It's short form is generally favored,
but shippers often use the long gar
ment, as the covering keeps the cold
out, and shippers, being leaders,
have spare time in which to feel the
drafts that invade al unprotected
crevices. There are rough, thick
wooden stockings and boots which
may be thigh boots or half boots

It was a custom among Canadian
Indians, when they dreamed Of re-
ceiving a favor from another, 10 APP
ply to him for its fulfllment, and
whenever possible the conditions Of
the dream were complied with.
A chief one morning came to Sir
William johnson, the governor, and
told him that he had dreamed that
his excellency had made him pres
ent Of the suit Of regimentals which
he wore.
The governor Immediately agreed
to make the present asked for, but
as the chief was about to leave, told
him that he also had had a dream.
to the effect that the chief had
given him a certain large tract Of
land Of his.
The chief was silent q moment.
@Well, you shall have Il, !" he then
said. 'But if you please, Sir VIII
liam, we viii not dream any moro +"

The baby's bath should not be toe
hot. On the other hand, it should
not be too cold. If the baby screams
it is a sign that all is not right. In
that case, dip the hand quickly into
the water to ascertain the tempera-
ture. The defect may then quickly
be remedied. If too hot, add cold
water; conversely, II too cold, add
hot. Avoid the use Of sand soap OF
Of chemicals. Frequent baths
should render such heroic treatment
unnecessary.
Great care should be exercised to
keep the baby's face constantly
above water. Enough may be swal-
lowed in a few minutes BY the little

Lavoisier (1743-94) comes very
near being the ~father Of chemis-
try" Although neither the science
Of chemistry nor yet a change in its
objects can be said to have orig
mated with Lavoisier, the means he
introduced Of attaining those OBJ
jects, the ideas he put forth con-
corning the constitution Of bodies
and the explanation ne gave Of vari-
Gus phenomena we're strictly new
and gave to this science in the twen-
ty years preceding his death a com
pletely altered aspect. The mine Of
chemistry had yielded rich returns
ling before Layoisier came. He
ayailed himself Of the old work
ings and, extending them, opened
the main lode.-New York Ameri-
