Fishing is not like farming. The
farmer can reckon pretty well what
his crops are going to yield, but the
fisherman merely guesses.
Our East coast fishermen, for in
stance, guessed that they would be
visited In the middle of last Septem-
Der by herrings But the herrings did
not come, according to London An
swers. Then, when all hope had
been relinquished the behring's turned
up one day-some 2SO0O,OOO of them
Perhaps the late summer had maze
them lose count Of the calendar and
delay their visit.
Fishermen who had been looking
glum returned with beaming faces.
Three hundred and fifty boats, after
dreary days Of waiting, came back
with loads averaging 80 Grams each
that is, $4,000 herrings Some boats
had more, one bringing in 100000 fish.
The total fish landed in one day
equaled 28,OOO,OO0, with millions more
to follow.
Herrings, like swallows, have their
migrating periods. The swallows fly
free, but the poor herrings-or a
goodly portion of them-are cooked
and eaten.

CALLS CHINESE COOKS BEST
Follower of confucius Has Only Mild
Approval for the Culinary Art
lists of the West.

The jolly, round-faced Chinese who
is combination of proprietor, cook
and clerk in delicatessen store on
Doyers street runs his shop for the
section and not for 'Sightseers," says
the New York Sun. When a strange
face that is not Chinese pokes itself
inside the shop, where the floor is
half covered with peck baskets that
hold such oriental vegetables as gray
potato and lily root, his face goes
totally blank, he understands nothing,
and speaks only the most painfully
"pidgin" English.
But If the door is opened by q west
erner whose business he understands
and he happens to be in a talkative
mood, he can entertain by the half
hour with tales and traditions Of his
trade, told in excellent English, with
plenty of jokes and much chuckling.
When he speaks of western food
and western ways of cooking his man.
ner is always courteous but mildly
patronizing. When he talks of the
ways of Asia he becomes animated.
and when he teaches things about
Chinese cooking he is actually enthusi-
aStic.
A mild attempt was made recently
to have him understand that. while
real Chinese mixtures involving COM
pllcated combinations of such things
as bits of roast pig, lily roots, bamboo
shoots and alkaline solution might
nave an exotic artistic interest, it
should, after all, be conceded that the
west, and especially these United
States, had done most to develop sci
entific eating.

1t was his rule that never more
meat than vegetables be eaten at a

"All food should be properly

FITZGERALD TEAM

>. In the game featured by brilliant
fielding and steady pitching, Milltown
went down in defeat at the hands of
the local team to the tune of 10 to /.
only errors prevented Hobbs from
pitching shut out game against the
visitors. The game started off like it
was going to be a close one, no side
scoring in first inning, but our bat
ters soon found out the weaknesses
OF the opposing hurler, and knocked
his pitching to all sides of the lot.
Milltown used 3 pitchers to stop
the avalanche of hits made by the
local hitters, but it was to no avail.
Centerfielder lowers for Fitzgerald,
was easily the star of the game by
accepting close to a dozen chances
without a single miscue. The infield
especially showed up well by making
SO few number of errors. Hobbs
pitched steady game and was at no
time in danger and mainly to excellent
support of his fellow players. For
the visitors Figpen was the outstand-
ing star securing four of Miltown's
10 hits. Hobbs and c. Horn led the
batting attack for fitzgerald each Sc

on the opposite side of the church
who had fallen asleep during the mid
die of the sermon. He did not snore
or create any disturbance, and he
looked so comfortable and peaceful
that his neighbors smiled at each 9th

how and when he would wake up.
When she had worked it out to her
own satisfaction she again bestowed
her attention on the sermon. still
keeping half an eye on the man
asleep.

attempt. Unfortunately the plan was

1t is interesting to recall the vari-
Gus means Of effecting elopements.
They are as old. as time. First they.
took place on foot with perhaps the
aid OF a rowing boat to help cross
river. Horses. too, were in great de-
mand and many happy maid rode
plll1on snatched away from under the
very eyes Of her irate parents. Later
came the coach to aid Romeo and Juli-
ct and what gallant "my love against
the world' air it added to the romance.
Trains and automobiles have also
played their part in "love's young
Dream" but the future "stunt" will be
to elope by airplane.
The airplane wooer will have to be
on his guard against the vigilance Of
the law which has already found the
flying machine useful in the execution
of justice. Thus a policeman in Los
Angeles attempted to arrest a jap
anese aviator for debt. .. The man
promptly flew off while the policeman
gave chase In an automobile. The
pursuit continued until the aviator was
compelled to come down through lack
of gasoline.
"A somewhat similar occurrence
took place in Florida. A negro serv-
ant in fashionable hotel stole a very
valuable brooch. He ran away but de-
tectives discovered. by means of wire

Bermuda. The vessel was DELAYED a

Rio de Janiero is said to be the

highest, called Sugar Loaf has cable
for about two miles to the top. Rio
has over million inhabitants and
you imagine what fine scene it af-
lords with harbor and surrounding
mountains. They have subways here
that not only accommodate electric cars
but has space for automobiles and pc
destrians. 1t makes a veritable city
underground.
Now it is just the beginning of win
ter and SO far the weather has been
very pleasant. Although it was pref
