toners TO Deal With.

A street vendor who eats his own
stock sounds like weird kind Of mer-
chant to American ears And yet he
exists In China, according to the re-
port Of Y. w. G. A. secretary sta
toned In Picking, where an Industrial
work room was part of the equipment
of social service project, a cooper
alive piece of work which was put into
effect under the combined leadership
Of the Y. NJ G. A.. the American
church board. and the y. w. G. A.
"S1en who were set up In business
as street vendors ate their own stock
until the social service workers de-
cided that 1t was not safe 10 entruSt
a man with edible wares" writes Miss
Alice Holmes, Y. W. G. A. secretary.
Nor was this the only falling that
the would-be business me- had. II
the stock consisted Of articles which
could not be eaten with safety. they
consented to sell them, running away
with all the earnings. Finally the
Americans decided that no man should
be set up In business unless ne had
somebody to stand guarantee FOR his
good character. Under this safeguard
an oriental gentleman whose family
standing and personal integrity had
been investigated, was entrusted with
large stock OF athletic supplies
which he peddled from house to house.
All went well for a time, for one can
not very conveniently make d dinner Of
tennis rackets or bascballs. But one
fine day the merchant disappeared in
side Of certain dwelling and al
though his companion waited patient
.y on the outside Tor many long hours,
the salesman failed to reappear. At
length the companion notified the 2o-
lice. An investigation revealed, the
fact that the salesman had gone into
the house by the front gate and had
left by rear one.
That he made thorough as well as
an effective getaway is testified to by
the fact that the peddler Is still
wanted" by the Picking police.

Eina Valuable,

Now that shark fishing has become
considerable industry, the skins being
valuable for leather, there is opportu-
nifty for those engaged in 1t to derive
additional profit from the fms.
Shark fins are highly priced as an
article of food in the Orient, fetching
IS to rs cents pound; and the supply
does not equal the demand. About five
tons of them are received monthly at
San Francisco. and Of this quantity the
bulk is exported to China.
The tail fins have no market value.
1t is the dorsal, pectoral and anal fms
that are desirable, chiefly for soup.
The fisherman should trim away all the
fleshy parts and dry the fins thorough
ly in the sun, without salting.-Phila-
delphia Ledger.

led IN SMALL VESSELS
eighteenth Century Mariners Trav.
ersed the Oceans In Craft OF
Remarkable Frailty.

The crossing of the Atlantic by three
adventurous American youths In 80
foot yawl Is reminiscent Of ancient
deep sea voyaging of Yankee sailor
men In small craft. Some of these ex-
PLOTS are recounted in study OF
Americas Merchant Marine" by the
Bankers Trust company Of New York.
Big profits realized on cargoes
brought from remote ends of the earth
stirred the eighteenth century OF sea-
faring enterprise. Such, for example,
was the case of ship sailing from
Calcutta to Boston with youth Of
nineteen years In command. This
juvenile captain, according to the
Bankers Trust c0mpany's study, had
nothing in the way Of chart aboard
except small map Of the world In an
old-tlme geography. He made the trip
successfully and later became BOs-
ton banker.
On the first trip of the George of
Salem to India In 1915 hardly man Of
he crew was twenty-one years old, yet
each was qualified as an experienced
seaman and nearly every one was
navigator.
In early days the peris Of the sea
were regularly braved in what would
now be considered dangerously small
vessels. The famous Mayfi0wer, which
carried the pilgrims to the new world,
was only 1S0-ton ship. When Cover
nor Winthrop built vessel at Med
ford, Mass, In 1881, 1t was a 3O-ton
bark, the Blessing of the Bay.
Joshua Raynes built sloop at Bath
IN 1862 and later when his yard turned
out d schooner of 100 tons, costing
$1,000, 1t was considered great I'M
dertaking for that period. The schoo-
ner type had first been built at Glou-
cester in 1913 and gradually displaced
the old sloops.
Some idea of the kind, Of craft that
bred the hardy race of American ma
rines is afforded by the shipbuilding
record for 1859. In that year 3S9 YES
sells of a total tonnage of 10000 tons
were constructed. This averaged lit
tie over so tons ship.

Modern Inventions,

Modern ideas always did worry
grandpa, but none more so than the
advent of the ice cream cone. He
first encountered the cone in a rail-
way station last week. He carefully
ate the ice cream and placed the crisp
receptacle by the side of the bench.
His son, few moments later, appear
ed, eating cone.
"Why, Mort" he exclaimed, "you
amt eating the vessel, too, are you?
Why, you know l thought that was
to be saved and I turned mine upside
down here by the bench so they could
come along and get It."

Tactful Small Boy.

Jack had baby sister whom he re-
garded as the most beautiful creature
on earth. When she was six months
old friend Of his mothers also had
a baby daughter. Jack was taken to
see this new baby and asked what he
thought of her. Trying not to hurt
anyone's feelings and still be polite
about this baby, who, in his eyes,
couldn't compare with his sister, he
said.
"Well, she looks like a homemade
baby"
