FRIVOLOUS CAPITAL MAIDENS
Washington School Girls Said to Be
Vain and Given to Primping
During Study Hours.

It Is gravely asserted by some OF
the teachers, who made official COM
plant to the principal of their school,
that the schoolgirls of the national
capital are vain, frivolous, and given
to primping during school hours to
such an extent that not only their
own studies suffer, but the studies of
the other more serious pupils are dis
turbed.
One teacher stated that the girls
carry enormous handbags" like
young valises, as he expressed 1t, fill

tacles which continually fall off, and

As for tho principal, he was too

not merely girls who can gut fish are
here, but whole community is rep
resented with all it's intellect it's tai
ent and it's pride Whole villages go
to the fishing from the Moray Firth
But they are the fisher-people, and
each member of the family takes
part in the industry. AS naturally as
a duck takes to the water do the chill
dren turn to the fishing. 1t is tradi-
ton, the mantle falling from Elijah's
shoulders. In the winter the girls
are engaged in mending the nets
which have been destroyed at the
fishings during the year. Each man
may have half mile Of nets to re-
pair, and the girls are experts at the
work They join heart and soul with
their fathers or brothers in the task
of preparing for the fishing. That is
what they live for. The talk in the
winter is of what has been at the
fishing, to be presently replaced by
what may be at the next.
Meanwhile their hands are busy, il
not with the nets, then with knitting,
for fathers and brothers and hus-
bands want thick hose and new jer-
seys; they themselves have soft, thick
stockings to replace, and probably new
jerseys for the fishing. Some of the
girls go to service, but not many. And
then it is only for the winter months.
At the call Of the fishing, tradition re-
asserts itself; the fsher-girl is born
again. She may bind herself to do
nestle service for while, but blood
is thicker than water. Her cain folk
are going, and nothing short of pris-
on would keep her back.
There is story of Highland girl
who was brought to London to serv-
ice. It was hoped that she would
adapt herself to circumstances. In
the morning crowd gathered round
the door, The Highland lassie was
adapting circumstances to herself.
Clad in short gown and petticoat, with
bare feet, she was swilling the steps.

Associated with the Scotch fisher

ing at the Shetland fishing, which is
the first great fishing of the year, the
Shetland men go forth with the boats
to earn a living for the winter; the
girls follow the herring, SO they, too,
may provide for the barren months.
In the Shetland isles there is nothing
else for the people to do; they have
no other means of making money.
During the winter they live on the
earnings of the summer with the help
of the farm produce which each cottar
can call his own. He possesses half

was in 1880, when Johnson's friend.

with Mr.. Thrale.
One night, as Boswell records, an
excited burgess seized the doctors hat

for many years has been the Episco-

west and found a church in Nir-

later founded the University of Ne

years of age now. hewas the gentlest

Ii was for him that Abe Edgerton
raised the money for his church.
Abe was superintendent of the

which included nearly all the quartz
mills engaged in reducing Comstock
ores. He was a rough diamond with
more brains and bigger heart than
are found in combination in a

no church and he was given TO mild
profanity sometimes. After Bishop
Whitaker had been in the camp a
few days. he one morning stopped
Edgerton on the street and said. is
