Hungry Jerseymen.

Frostfsh appearing a little earlier
than usual are accepted by many dwellers
along the Jersey Coast as harbIngar of
severe winter. but their dire portent Is
more than offset. for the time beng al
least, bv the body blow which they deal
to the expensIvcntss Of sustaining exist
ence
The small. shimmerlng silver fish are
coming IN on all the beaches IN great
quantities They are taken mostly At
night with rod and line but some fisher
men find they do quite as well by running
over the wet sand after each shattered
and retreating breaker and gathering up
the fish left stranded and Topping with
their bare hands bv the light of barn or
railroad lanterns
One notable di ference from other
seasons S that farmers who come, III man
cases. from cons iderable distances inland
no longer shovel the fish al random INTO
dirty carts to be used as fertilizer, but
carry them of III clean baskets and barrels
TO eat all they can before putting the re-
maiDder 10 grosser uses
Men and boys along the boardwalks
and on the fishing piers sell their fresh
catches in strings 10 all corners at three To
five cents pound guess weight, and unless
the fish are coming in at that moment in
schools too big 10 be neglected, generally
volunteer to clean. when they sell out at

But the .frosties are q real godsend
