HARNEssING A cORMORANT

features Of the whole proceeding. It
seemed inexplicable how one man
could manipulate 80 many birds
swimming and diving as they we're In
all directions-without their reins be-
coming hopelessly entangled. Yet by
sorting them with a lightning hand
overland movement. these leads
were always kept clear, and never
once did l SEQ q man in real difficult
ties. When a cormorant has COM
pletely filed its gullet, it naturally
takes no further interest In the pro-
ceedings, and will then swim idly
upon the surface. When this is OBJ
served. the unfortunate creature Is
promptly hauled in board, and by a
gentle but firm pressure of the hand
1t Is forced ANONYMOUSLY to disgorge
its booty, whereupon it is thrown
back TO recommence it's thankless
task. In this way a single bird will
account for a large number of fish
during the night, and as the flock
numbers upwards of hundred indi-
viduals, tho total catch is sometimes
considerable. In the morning, when
all is over, the cormorants are al
lowed to rest on the gunwale of the
boat, each bird. known by rame, hav-
ing its allotted perch, which it de-
tends with angry croaks and pecks
should neighbor dare to dispute its
right. The birds are absolutely fear
less Of their masters. and can be
freely handled.
There could hardly be more inter
esting experience than to follow q
flotilla of cormorant boats at work
on a still midsummer night. Even
the Japanese themselves appreciate
the picturesqueness of the proceed
ings, and every evening numerous
boatloads Of spectators may be seen
on the river awaiting their arrival at
Gifu. The fishing appears to be At its
best In August. during which month
the late Mikado used frequently to
visit the scene.
The great brasiersrhuge, cracking
baskets Of name-cast q strange and
lurid glare over tho surroundings. In
their dazxlins light the brightly illum.
mated figures Of the fishermen seem
to stand out with almos. unnatural
sharpness against the velvety blaek-
ness Of the hight, while tho mems
harsh cries of encouragement, tho
loud clatter Of their oars. and tho
showers Of Kissing sparks failing upon
the water all add to the weirdness
of the scene.
Cormorants are apparently not very
difncult to train, and have been used
in Europe for sporting purposes far
more often than is generally supposed.
Early in the seventeenth century
James l. was enamored with tho
sport. and appointed someone Master
OF Cormorants." while he even went
SO far as to have ponds cut in a
meawod-land near Westminster for
the reception Of various kinds Of fish
which were to be afterwards captured
by his tame birds. OF recent years
the well-known falconer Captain
Salvin proved highly successful with
his cormorants, and there are stil1
some French sportsmen who keep
these birds for their own entertain
ment.

 A new ordinance was introduced making the beach between Snake river and Sesnon's a highway so that dumping of garbage may be prohibit ed thereon.

Brief HOLIDAY.

Joy is like a bird in flight. which
dips in its passing and touches US
with its wings. 1t comes from out OF
far country and 1t tracks it's way
on high. After that brief lowering
1t will recover it's former attitude. its
speed, and song. It's throbbing heart
passes high over our throbbing cit
les and frozen hills. AS we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing we
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blitheness and teach it to
dwell among men. Why should 1t
pause but never abide? We would
have that JOY abide so fixedly that 1t
would become a peace. The holiday
season is like that. 1t stoops for
little out Of space, draws near our
dim earth. and sheds its brightness
among men. AS swiftly as it came, SO
swiftly 1t goes again. And yet each
year 1t draws more close and stays
for a longer time; its radiance is re-
Vealed to US more clearly, full of
grace and truth.-Collier's Weekly.

WEALTH.

Wealth cannot confer great
ness, for nothing can make that
great which tho decree Of nature
has ordained to be little. The
bramble may be placed In q hot
bed, but can never become an
oak. Even royalty irself In not
able to give that dignity which
1t happens not to find, but OPP
presses feeble minds, though II
may elevate the strong. The
world has been governed in the
name OF kings, whose existence
has scarcely been perceived by
any real effects beyond their
own palaces. When, therefore.
the desire Of wealth is taking
hold Of the heart let US look
around and see how 1t operates
upon those whose industry or
fortune has obtained 1t. When
we f1nd them oppressed with
their own abundance, luxurious
without pleasure, idle without
ease, impatient and Querulous In
themselves and despised or hat
ed by the rest Of mankind, we
shall soon be convinced that If
the real wants Of our condition
are satisfied there remains little
to be sought with soncitude or
desired with eagerness.-Samuel
Johnson.
