Stopped the Dreaming.

It was custom among Canadian
Indians, when they dreamed Of re-
ceiving favor from another, to ap-
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 certain large tract of
land of his.
The chief was silent moment.
"Well, you shall have it," he then
said 'FBut if you please, Sir Will
Ham, we will not dream any more. "

CATCHING HEARINGS.

For q Thousand Years.

eesetieaily the Same Methods Ussd
For = Thousand Years.
The Lowestoft fishermen say that
~ method Of catching herrings
las scarcely changed during the last
thousand years or more and that
their nets must be the same in prin-
ciple as those which were 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-
cent much the same spectacle that
could have been witnessed many
centuries ago. 1t was at night when
the herrings were caught, and night
on the vast and melancholy waste
Of water hides that modernitv
which only day reveals. There are
other riding lights and here and
there the masthead and side lights
Of a steamer going north or south,
but the steel and iron hulls are only
guessed by some chance glimmer
from a port or deck house.
And the men have changed but
little surely! Their dress for work
b primitive, hiding all that is sug-
