Peculiar Nile Fish.

Near the African continent sea fish
cries are mainly under direct or indi-
rect European influence, the natives at
taching more Importance to the rivers
and lakes. In the Nile, fishing Is car.
ried on almost as It was in the days of
the Pharaohs, by lines and dipnets. the
latter worked from the bank, and
shaped something like a long-handled
shrimp push net, or by cropping in the
mud as the waters recede after the
flood.
A very popular fish that Is taken in
the latter way is the bichir, which is
about Is inches long, and is covered
with hard. bony scales. In the same
manner the Arabs of the upper Nile
catch what they call the thunder fish,"
which averages foot in length, and,
like that Of the Calabar, is endowed
with a considerable power Of develop
ing electricity. A large kind Of bar
bel named the bnny, also found in the
mud. is greatly priced by the Nile
dwellers, though quite tasteless to 9th
er palates.

In Japan, perhaps because they are all
made by hand-bamboo ribs. rattan
handles, and the patterns formed by
different layers of colored papers. The
umbrella, writes Elsie f. We'll in Asia
Magazine, is as necessary to the jap
anese actor or dancer as his fan. In
the old prints the umbrella appears
constantly as harmonious part of the
design. The gelsha have umbrellas ap-
propriate for wistaria season and
cherry viewing, for winter and sum-
mer. An umbrella may even be the
theme of poetry. as II was for the Jap
anese poet who sang: "In the spring
rain an umbrella passes by on which
petals are softly falling, falling" Yet

something picturesque in our wire
framed umbrellas Of uniform black;
they call them "bat WINGS"

COST OF LIVING IN 1916

A page from an old diary written In
about the cost of living. The diary
was written by DR.. Elmer Evan Ed

a period of thirty-fve years. It Is a
recent gift to the college library.

so cents q week. Good board can be
had from 81 to SO week."
The diary shows that DR.. Edwards
was living with two other boys under
the arrangement that is sometimes
called "batching." Some of the items

SO marked is the tendency of many
fur-bearing animals to wholesale de.

trappers who catch them and kill them
for their pelts doubtless saves a far
greater number of animals than 1t

hundreds of harmless creatures in q

When, upon reaching camp, he found
that he could have three days fur
Tough he decided to surprise her-her
whom he would now dare to ask to
marry him. For, even starting at the
bottom as he would have to, the wait
could not be very long with such
goal to strive for.
1t was dusk when Jim got off the
train at Bolton. He had to stop for
word with the station agent and then
was waylaid along the way uptown to
Betty's home by welcoming friends.
When at last the well-remembered
stretch of maple trees came in view,
shading the Lancaster lawn, his heart
beat unmanageably.
AS he drew nearer he heard the
laughter and gay voices Of young peo-
pie sounding from the Lancaster
porch. He felt twinge Of disappoint-
ment at having to see his sweetheart
before so many. Already he looked
upon her as that very thing-hs sweet
heart.
wondering whether to go away ana

NOT TROUBLED BY JEALOUSY
the Eskimos Are Simple and Eas-
lily Arranged.

An American missionary Is the au-
thority for the following description
of social and domestic customs that
prevail in a certain part of the arctic
regions: II woman Is childless, she
often asks her husband to select an
other wife. so that the home may be
blessed with children. She has no
jealousy toward her rival, for her hus-
band generally treats both with equal
respect. The system Of polygamy
works both ways, for some EsklmOs
adhere to the single standard. In a
tribe where there are more men than
women, a woman may often be al
lowed a second husband, provided she
has the approval Of her first husband.
and her love for some unmarried man
does not necessarily les.en her re-
gard for her husband, who may be old
or weak, and hence a poor provider.
A younger man may prove a real as
set TO the family. Even II II Is case
Of simple infatuation, no deception is
practiced. The Eskimo woman reveals
her feelings to her husband. who, II
the lover is worthy. rarely refuses his
consent for his wife to go away with
this rival for a certain length Of time.
If the man happens to have wife Of
his own. the abandoned husband will
often propose to his wife that she ar
range matters with the wife Of her
lover, so there will be a mutual ex-
change Of spouses for a time.
