When One Mentions Fish," the syiia.
bic 10 Susceptible Of More Than
s One CONSTRUCTION.

"All Is not fish that swims' reflected
the sapient philosopher as he beheld
a summer girl taking to the ocean.
The sapient philosopher was formulat-
ing great truth when he came to
that conclusion.
The whale, for instance. although 1t
mquestionably swims. is more closely
related to the COW than to the minnow.
The seal is closer kin to the dog than
to the fiuke.
TO a great many fishermen the word
''fish"-see Latin "piscis" and Dutch
'visch' (the same word) -possesses
only the verb form, ito fish," Catch
ing FISH is not necessary part of the
process OF fishing. The thing is TO
fish, and is not primarily to
catch fish. (See fishermen on the
banks of the Seine In Paris, fishing
All day without even getting a bite
from a minnow.)
A famous EngliShman by the name
OF Izaak Walton was one of the most
persistent patrons of the verb ito
fish" The word "fish" was also ex-
tensively used during the war in an eff
fort to save meat for the fighters

Nova Scotia's. Sheen, industry.

The sheep industry in Nova Scotia
is more tfran 200 years old, records
of 1893 telling of 1921 sheep in Ar
cadia. The province now ranks fourth
among the provinces in the number OF
sheep, with 200.979, standing second TO
Quebec in price received for wool.
Nova Scotia owes its superior quality
TO its low shrinkage. as compared with
wool from other parts of Canada. The
climate on the mainland demands shell
ter for sheep during the winter months,
though on certain islands along the
south shore they are out the year
around and feed on the sea kelp
washed up on the shore. These are
the wild sheep descended from those
brought in by early settlers. Enter
prising farmers on the south shore,
seeing that they fed off the kelp in
winter, corralled them on nearby is
lands.

RIaekbIrd Fed Thrush.

A lady of Penzance who is a great
lover OF birds, says Mr.. w. III. Hudson
in his recently published book, "Ad-
ventures Among Birds" noticed that
q blackbird and thrush always came
together to her lawn where she was in
the habit of placing food for the birds.
Then she noticed that the blackbird
fed the thrush, picking up the crumbs
Of bread and putting them into its
mouth. Looking more closely, she dis
covered that the thrush's beak had
been cut of close to the head, prob
ably by a steel trap or a sudden-death
spring trap, such as the children in
Cornwall commonly use to catch or
Kill small birds. The thrush was in
capable of feeding itself.
