GO TRAVELLING IN LAeooNs
Whole Community lnduIees In Pas
time Of Fishing In South Pacific
islands.

The natives OF Barotonga, one Of the
islands in the South Pacific ocean,
have q singular method of catching
fish in which the whole community
takes part. according to the New York
Evening Journal. On the shore of
the island there are many long. mar
row lagoons. each lying between q
beach and an outer reef Of coral, that
usually swarm with fab. The natives
choose one of these stretches Of shall
low water for the fiah drive. and close
ell breaks in the reef by laying nets
across them or building up rough bar.
riers with pieces Of coral.
When they have done that, 900 or
TOO men. women and children wade
into one end Of the lagoon carrying
little plated fiber bags filled with utu
nut In most places the water Is
about three feet deep and nowhere
more than four feet; 80 the natives
march slowly up the lagoon, trailing
behind them the bags OF utu nut. AS
this substance is wet 1t forms Q pc
culiar narcotic. which 1t dinfuses
through the water. The process ia
called poisoning the lagoon.
Half an hour Is allowed for the
poison" to spread, and at the end OF
that time all the fish are under the
influence Of the drug and are swim
ming about in confused and aimless
manner. The natives. armed with
long-pronged spears, form line that
reaches from side to side of the Ia
COON. and drive the intoxicated fish
before them. When the fish are all
collected at the farther end Of the
lagoon the natives begin to cry. 'Eh
hu-hu-u-ul" and the barbed spears fiy
In all directions. The natives are
very dexterous with the spears and
the fish are so sluggish. owing to the
effects Of the utu nut, that very few
Of them escape.
Many OF the poisoned" fish seek
the shelter Of the coral reef and hide
In the crevtces, and so some of the ma
tives "fish" the reef. They put on
glass goggles and sink beneath the wa
ter. where they remain submerged fol
one or two minutes. They feel about
among the coral for the listless hsh
which they get with short thrusting
spear. These methodical fishermen
usually make the biggest catches. but
the merry men" In the open water
enjoy the best sport.

Field Day Trials.

At bmeettng OF the Field Day Commit
tee Of the English Setter Club it was de.
cided to hold the trials at Medford, on
the sixth, seventh and eighth OF April.
AT the request Of number OF owners oil
Derby dogs, which had been placed In
1916, the committee decided to add an
open subscription class to any bird dog
whelpsd on or after January /. 1914. This
will bring together all Of the best young
dogs that ran at the big circuit In 1915,
and give the local sportsmen chance
TO see the dogs run. The entrance fee
In this GLASS will be $40, the money to
be divided between the first, second and
third dogs.
The regular classes as heretofore will
be run-members' Derby for dogs under
eighteen months; members open for all
age dogs owned by members; open Der
by for dogs under eighteen months,
whether owned by member or not,
and the open al age. for any and all
bird dogs.
The club has secured ten dozen Bob
White quail, for these trials, which are
now being cared for by q gentleman
who has had large experience In keep
ing quail. and he reports them to be
strong and healthy, and the best birds
he has ever had, and they wake up
every morning with their whistle.
La these trials few birds will be let
out day before the trials, and each day
more birds will be liberated, thus insur-
ing plenty Of birds during the trials; as
these birds ate NOT injured In any way
they ought to increase the number of
birds for next fall. 1t Ia the intention to
put band on the leg Of each bird and
try to secure record of the birds killed
next fall In order to determine whether
liberated quail remain In the locality
where liberated.
The members OF the club are from ten
states. who annually hold these trials.
The sups are donated by the club and
individual members. The cups donated
by Gustave Pabst. the Milwaukee brew
er, and George C. Thomas, of Chestnut
Hill, are valued at 500 each. A num-
Der OF other cups Of less value will be
offered. The officers of the club for 1916
are: President. John Harris, Camden,
first vice president. I'm. Charles M.

Bastian removes the last member Of
the great scientific school which num-
bered among its associates Pasteur

London Times.
Doctor Bastian was one of the fight

his life he did battle for ideas which
were unacceptable and which, in spite
Of his labors. never achieved accept
ance.
These ideas may be stated short
ly as the conception OF life as form
OF energy which is capable Of aris-

MED the theory that life arises always
from other nfe-the theory Of Pasteur
and his disciples: he claimed that he

BL0USES OVER SKIRTS.
Vivid Chat About the Very
Latest Kinds of Waists

Many and varied are the lines Of the
new blouses; possibly the most note
worthy feature is the peplum or skirt
sections which are seen on many OF
the new models. To be sure, these
peplumed blouses were introduced
some time ago, but they have not at
tanned the wide popularity which they
would seem to deserve as pleasingly
different and affording splendid oppor.
tunity for effective trimming.
New blouses of this type are Of Grape
taffeta and satin, and when In match.
ing color with the separate skirt give
the appearance Of smart dresses that
eliminates one Of the chief objections
to separate blouses and skirts-that OF
giving the figure cut In half look that
is disastrous to the average figure.
A very striking example of this pep
lum blouse is Of taffeta, the wrist
length sleeves set in at a drop shoul-
der line; the peplum a straight gather
ed one about eighteen inches long and
the sleeves and bodice generously trim

feature is the draped or hoodlike col
lar Of the blouse material
Striped silk used on the bias is an
other fashion feature, and an interest
ing blouse made thus is finished as a
basque and is to be worn without a
belt or girdle. Most of the dressy
washable blouses and many Of the silk
and Grape ones are enhanced by effec-
tive hand embroidery, for the vogue
Of this attractive trimming is now as
sured.
Sleeves are long or short as one pre-
fers In dresses and blouses and set into
regulation extended or drop shoulder
armholes, so you see fashion is kind
Just now and does not restrict US to
one and only one style. Probably there
VIII not be a narrowing of new fash
Ion features, such as was the case
few years ago. Women do not like to
be dressed like an aggregation Of twins,

Is not one particular fashion that suits

THE VIoLIN's STORY.

Once in a little village lived an ole
violinist. He had many friends. They
were the old men Of the town. He
loved children and they loved him.
One stormy day It was dreary for him.
No children came In to hear him play.
He had an old, old violin. He knew
nothing about this violin, except that
It was willed to him at the death of
an old friend Of his fathers. He loved
the instrument dearly and often won
dered where 1t had come from. To
soothe his restless spirit he decided to
play.
He had no sooner taken the precious
instrument when that same thought
came to him again. where did that
violin come from and what Is its his
toryT
He played. His thoughts were far
OF. AS his fingers wandered over the
strings sad and sweet, wild and tri-
umphant notes came forth.
They told of youth who had loved
that violin dearly, who had often
soothed little old mothers heart with
its touching music.
Then came wild clashing notes, tell
ing Of war; then sobbing, plaintive
tones Of the little mother left behind.
But, bravely shouldering his gun, the
young man went forth. At the last
moment he turned back to take with
him his beloved violin.
After a lonely and patient year Of
waiting the mother received back not
her son, but the violin he had loved
His faithful comrade brought it and
told Of his dying hero and how he
had also comforted and inspired others
with his glorious music.
Sobbing over her lost son, yet proud
Of him, the little old mother passed
away, giving to the faithful comrade
the beloved instrument.
At last sunshine and happy little
faces peeped in the window. The old
violinist laid his violin carefully away
and told the children the "Violin's
Story"

BAR-IE-DUC CURRANTS.
Two Picked Recipes For a Delicious
Winter Treat.


Winter Treat.
Take selected currants of large size
one by one, and with tiny embroidery
scissors carefully cut the skin on one
side, making a slit One-fourth an inch
or less In length. Through this with
q sharp needle remove the seeds, one
at time, to preserve the shape Of the
currant. Take the weight of the cur
rants In strained honey and when hot
add the currants. Let simmer two or
three minutes, then seal as jelly. If
the Juice Of the currants liquify the
honey too much carefully skim out the
currants and reduce the strip at a
gentle simmer to the desired con-
sistency, then replace the currants and
store as above.
The following recipe is less work,
but gives a nice preserve: Get the
largest size currantS. red or white, and
stem them without breaking. To each
pound allow three pounds of sugar.
Take some ordinary currants and
bruise them while warm until you
have pint of juice. Put half cupful
OF this into a porcelain kettle and
three pounds of sugar. Bring slowly
to a boil and skim carefully. After
boiling five minutes drop in very care
fully one pound of the large currants
and let simmer four minutes. Take
them out without breaking them and
boil the strip down five minutes or
longer If not very thick. as the cur
rants are sometimes less juicy than at
others. A few minutes more will be
needed at one time than another. When
thick skim well and strain through
hot cloth over the fruit Put into lit
tie jelly glasses and when cold cover
as In Jelly making.
