WAR .INTERFERES WITH COD-FISHING TOUR OF FRENCH
Fewer Boats But Just as Much Enthusiasm This Year,
 However.

Raris, June L5-The ceremony of -s-.Se blessing of the catch'' that pre- cedes each spring the departure of the French cod-fishing fleets for Icelandic waters and the banks Of Newfound- land. has lost none of its interest or picturesQueness, though the fleets are considerably diminished, on account Of the war.
 The fleets of Fecamp, PaimpoI, Saint MalO, Cancale, Saint Seryan and Granville, altogether are sending out about 100 vessels this year as against 800 that composed the combined tDaSvaers were nearly all requisitioned by the government, and a great many members of thecr ews were mobiIized. This year 5000 of these mobilized men have been given feave from the army in order to prevent the cod-fish- ing industry from declining to the point of disaster. The war has shown France the importance of her fish cries. and already ways and means of improving their facilities after the war are being discussed.
 While the cod catch will be greatly inferior to the average again this year. there will be plenty of Cancale oysters. for the women have replaced annual catch of seed oysters off the Breton coast
 It is really a mans work, for the barks are heavy and the six sails are neither light nor easily managed. But the women handle them, with as much skill and courage, and the seasons 8 catch of oysters to be taken shore ward for breeding purposes will not fall far short of the average season.

Where can we help?' is the motto of theevigilant daughters of HelVet1a and true to this devise a resolution was taken on June 22, 1915s on the occa- sion of the Main Conference or the Swiss Women's Federation. to start a collection among all women and g1fls of Swiss nationality, the proceeds Of which to be donated No the Swiss Fed eral Council as a token of gratitude for the safety afforded to them III Switzerland and as contribution toward the expenditure incurred by the mobilization.
 The great work was started end of October, 1915, and a Central commit tee consisting of representatives Of each Canton was entrusted with the execution and business management of the same. The individual local col, lections were in turn supervised by cantonal committees and while each committee was at liberty to choose it's own way of collecting, it was st1pulat- ed that the women of all classes should be given an opportunity to par. ticipate.
 The collection was closed end of March, 1916, and has yielded a total sum of francs 1.16S, ,814.22 ($233,- 762.84) which amount also includes foreign countries. While this figure may not appear very formidable to residents of big countries, one must not overlook the fact that this money has been donated by the groWn-up female portion of a population of B. 5O0,000 and Swiss women residing in foreign countries at a time which is far from prosperous and when ap- peals for various charitable undertak- ings are moreover frequent1y made.
 A delegation of 1womeni from the German, French and Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland presented the gift which is known as Die Rationale F,rauenspende'' on May 4, 1918 to the Swiss Federal Council, together with a comm enorative, artistically gotten up document which was also prepared written and bourid by women.
 The document which contains brief review of the history and purpose of the collection concludes with the wish that the Swiss Federal Council accept the gift as a token of the Swiss wo- men's appreciation and love for their Father1and; that the value of the do- nation is not to be judged by the amount but by the spirit in which it is presented, which is to show that Switzerland does not only possess men who protect the country's fiber ty and independence, but that it also owns women who are prepared to do the best within their power for their native land.

line of his profession Of the daugh- ters of Elnathan Beach. Sarah mar ried Jonathan Atwater of New Ha- ven and Lois married Col. Thaddeus Cook of Revolutionary fame.
 At one time the town poor were kept at the house of Capt John Beach, then known at the old Beach house. Among the inmates was a young woman who had an offer of marriage from a man living in North Haven The woman consented and of course the seIectmen who had much to do in brinigng this about, were pleased to get rid of this town bur den The couple were married at the home of MT. Beach and in accord ance with the custom of those times the bride was allowed the privilege of selecting the hymn to be sung after the ceremony was performed. On this occasion the following hymn se- 1ected by the bride was sung. which was certainly very appropriate for the changed condition of her life from the poorhouse to a settled home: When God revealed his gracious name
 And changed my mournful state. My rapture seemed a pleasing dream.
 The grace appeared so great. Great is the work. My netghbor cried,
 And owned thy power devine, Great is the work! My heart replied
 And be the glory thine.
 
 The Lord can clear the darkest
 skies,
 Can give us day for night,
 Make drops of sacred sorrow rise
 To rivers of delight.
 Let those that sow in sadness wait.
 Till the fair harvest come. They shall confess their sheaves are
 great
 And shout the blessings home.
 Of the several large families of the Beach's who resided in this To- ca.lity, who. owned much property and were families of extended i'm fIuence, not a single descendant now remains to till the soil where their ancestors successfully Iabored in Cheshire's first settlement as par ish, and for several years after it became distinct incorporated town.

THE GIANT AND HIS SERVANTS

looked in the bin for it. at is there" said
Jnln.
The King in the mean time had looked at
the Silver Chain OF Silence. the Commanding
Trumpet and had spoken to the Bird Coun-
cillor, and he saw that these were indeed the
Three Treasures. He declared to Jillin there
and then that he would give her any wealth or
honors she desired.
And the end of my story is this: The Chain
of Silence was struck in the Kings Hall, and
there was silence on the whole assembly. The
Bird Councillor spoke and showed the King
where he could make war on the Giants The
Commanding Trumpet was blown, and the
troops marched as one man.
But before they started Jillin had received
the reward She asked for. She told the King
that all she wanted was TO see her foster
sisters Baum and Deelish, well married. The
King said that the two best young men in his
court were Dernott and Downal, from the
court of the King of Ireland. Baum and Deelish
already loved these youths, and Dermott and
Downal saw no damsels at the court OF the
King OF Arran that they liked better than Baum
and Deelish, and SO these couples married.
And whether it was the Bird Councillor or
the Little Red Hen that told her, l don't
know, but Jillin was directed to we'll, and
when she had washed herself in its water she
became straight and beautiful. Jack would
never have known her but for her kind eyes
that remained the same. They married and
were the happest of all the people in the King
OF Abrams dominion.
And, as the old story tellers say,
HE FOUND THE FORD AND SHE
FOUND THE STEPPING STONES; SOME
WE'RE DROWNED BUT THEY CAME

CHAPTER X.

VOW Jilln and Jack went on toward the
y domain Of the King Of Arran, and as
they went on Jillin became so imPa-
tient 70 see her foster sisters and the King that
She ran on and on, leaving Jack behind her.
Jack was carrying the three Treasures OF
King-the Chain Of Silence, the Commanding
Trumpet and the Bird Councillor. And when
he lost sight Of Jillin he took wrong road
When she reached the domain of the King
of Arran she could see neither the King nor
her foster sisters. There were games being
playd by the young men of the court and the
King had gone to watch them. Jillns foster
sisters were at the games, too. Jillin went into
the Kings kitchen expecting TO get a welcome
from the servants there, but the servants, in
stead OF welcoming her, took hold Of her
rudely
You are the servant girl they said, that
destroyed the Kings magnificent feasting
dish" Jillin heard them tell each other that
the magnificent feasting dish could not be
found since she left the Kings kitchen.
Before she could say anything they tied her
and took her 10 the high road, where they put
her in stocks-that is, between boards that
held her arms and legs. Everybody who passed
her by looked at her and said, THAT is the
kitchen servant who broke or stole the Kings
magnificent feasting dish
People were coming from the games now.
Among them were her two foster sisters, Baum
and Deelish. When they saw her they were
greatly ashamed. They waited until there was
no one to see them talking TO her, and then
they went over.
Wasn't it a pity you didn't stay in the
kitchen and mind your own business? Baum
said
Il always knew misfortune would come OF
your rambling, and we tried to prevent you
from coming with US" said Deelsh. Now we
are dsgraced, and no one will ever marry us
And both Baum and Deelish cried when the
two young men from the court of the King OF
Ireland went riding by.
The King, with the Queen and his foster
daughters, came along the high road then, and
when he saw Jillin he knew her for his kitchen
servant. II thought you were a good servant"
said the King, but you have destroyed my
dish. Now you must stay in the stocks until
the set Of the sun, and then you and your
sisters must leave my dominion"
He was just going 10 ride on again when
lack came to that part Of the high road. When
he saw where Jilln was he tried to break open
the boards that held her
Who is trying TO disgrace the girl that
found for the King the Three Treasures" he
cried.
The King asked him what he meant by that
and lack showed the Silver Chain OF Silence,
The Commanding Trumpet and the Bird Coun-
,illor. and he told them all how Jillln mad gone
nto danger to get these for the King. When
he King heard this he had her liberated.
Then said Jillin, Did any OF your servants

casting dish covered with bran| And the
servants who were there said that they had not
