The cod along our shores differs a
little from that on the Banks, being of
another species. It is not a migratory
flab., like the mackerel, but lives in great
colonies, having but a limited range.
Although they may live in very near
waters, if is said that they do not inter
mingle with those of a neighboring
colony. The fish of each has character
istics wTiir.h distinguish it from those of
another.
! In general, it may be said, that the
cod is of a greenish brown, when fresh
from the water, and is spotted with red
dish yellow. The under part is a silvery
opaque white, and the fins are of a pale
green. It can be distinguished from the
haddock, with which it often feeds, by
its white lateral line. The lino on the
haddock's side is always black. In the
upper jaw there are four rows of sharp
teeth, in the lower, one row. The scales
are small and the eyes large. There are
ten fines, three of which are upon the
back.
i I have seen a codfish that
nearlv one hundred nounds. and have
heard of one caught near by that weighed
one hundred and fifteen pounds after its
entrails had been taken out. But one
of eighty pounds is considered a large
one even by fishermen, and an amateur
will go wild over one of twenty. Those
caught upon the Banks . seldom reach
eighty pounds, being of a smaller
species.

long, hanging from its lower iaw. This
is called a barbule. It finds its foods at
the bottom, upon sand-banks and around
sunken ledges usually at some distance
from the shore, although, in cold
weather, it may sometimes be taken by
fishing from the rocks.
As the season advances the cod re
sorts to deeper water, tor it is strictly a
cold-water fish. Its food consists of
worms, sand-eels, crabs and other small
fchellfish, bt is not over -particular as to
what it swallows. A great variety of
1 articles has been taken from the
stomachs of cod straw, stones, rubber
balls, jacknives, snulf-boxes, nutmegs,
old iron, glass and broken crockery.
The Indians caught fish with lines made
of bark and hooks of bone.
Formerly all cod were caught by mean3
of handlings, and some fish are still
taken in this way, especially in the
autumn when they are abundant. The
most, however, are now taken by trawls,
which were introduced here about 18'JO,
and were first used by the French.
A trawl consists of a line about three
thousand feet in length, to which are at
tached short ones about thirty-six inches
long, on each of which is a hook. The
short lines are placed about six feet
apart, so that each trawl has about five
hundred hooks. Attached to each end of
the line by a rope is a buoy, sometimes
only an empty powder keg or a mackerel
kit. In the head of the buoy is a pole
three feet long upon which is a small
liag to attract the attention of the owner
when in search of it. To each end of
the line also is fastened a small anchor.
The hooks are baited with squid,
herring, or other small fish, if they can
be secured. Each fish will bait four
hooks. If these cannot be obtained
clams are used. Squid bait is con
sidered the best, and great quantities are
caugat in weirs on Cape Cod, and many
vessels resort thither in summer to secure
a supply for their trips. To bait a trawl
requires from an hour and a half to two
Lours. - .' .,
When it is ready it is placed in a tub
made of a half-barrel. The long line is
coiled up in the centre, and the bait lies
next the sides of the tub. One man
uses from two to six trawls which are
often set in the afternoon and visited
very early the following morning, and
perhaps once or twice more in the course
of the day. , "
The process is somewhat as follows:
"When one buoy is reached, the end of
the trawl to which it is attached is drawn
up and then hook after hook is examined,
and the fish, which have been causrht.
are taKen on. uy means oi trawls a
man may catch more fish in a single
night, than by a week's hard work with,
hand lines.
Of course they are not all cod. This
is a hake, that a haddock, the next a
dogfish, and the next a halibut. The un
expected is quite likely to come to the
. surface upon one of the many hooks. It
may be somejiideous fish, or some un
couth object which has lo.ng been lying
in its oo7.v Vinfl.
I have described trawl-fishing as con
ducted by one or two men in a dory at
from one to five miles from the shore.
Schooners of from ten to twenty tons
make trips off shore to a distance of

take a supply of ice as well as of bait,
and run into Boston or some other port
once or twice a week and sell their fish
to dealers, who supply the trade all
over New England.
Larger schooners visit Georges Bank,
the "Western or those of Newfoundland,
and may be gone three or. four weess,
. bringing their fish to market on ice,
, or they may be gone from four to six
months dressing and saltans: their fish

' The process of curing fish ha? not
changed for two hundred years. In
dressing them several men are engaged.

takes out the back-bone ; the salter salts
them, and piles them in bulk in the hold
of the vessel. The amount of salt used
in Gloucester in a single year amounts
to more than a hundred 'thousand hogs
heads. When a schooner arrives at port with
a "fare of fish" they are taken out with
pitchforks, washed, and when the
weather is suitable, spread upon flakes
to dry. The flakes are frames covered
, with triangular slats, aad are about seven
feet wide and raised three feet above the
ground. At Provincetown they may be
seen not only upon the wharves, but also
Ln all vacant places between the houses
and even in the front dooryards, so that

Great care is required to dry fish
properly. Cl;ar weather and westerly
winds are mosj to be desired. Foggy
weather spoils them, and a hot sun
melts, or, as the fishermen say, Vnashes"
them. To prevent this, screens made of
cotton cloth are often placed eighteen

the sun's direct rays.

FOR
, Ladies' Hair.
Long and thick hair is so scarce among
ladies that when one comes to have her
head washed who has a full suit she is
always the subject of remark and envy.
Not more than one in ten ladies have
full suits. Some who had long and
thick hair as children have lost most of
it through carelessness. The hair will
fall out if not kept clean, and many find
that, after reaching a certain length, it
breaks off. However, if a lady has just
enough hair to hold a switch the hair
dresser will do the rest. Style, , more
over, has favored the short haired, for
less and less hair has been worn lately.
From the immense waterfalls to the
present scanty head-dress is a wonderful
change. Switches are universally worn,
but in constantly decreasing size. Still
a woman with long hair is to. be envied,
for her hair will always look natural.
A switch needs refreshing because, with
out the natural oil of the head, to keep
it bright, it will look different from the
wearers own hair. Some sleep in tneir
switches so that they may take the oil
from the head, but this Is bad lor the
scalp, making it too hot and causing the
hair to fall out. So many ladies wash
their hair so seldom that I do not wonder
they lose it. Globe-Democrat. ",

Old Care for Pneumonia.
An article in the Medical Record deals
mainly with the results of the recent ex
periments in pneumonia of the Italian
physician Maragliano, who proposes to
revive the old plan of blood letting when
the heart is on the point of breaking
down. -
It is certain, as the Hfedical Record
says, "the management of the affection
of the present day is' , far from satisfac
tory." Pneumonia appears to be an in
fectious disease, depending upon the
presence of micro-organisms. The first
practicable measure for combating it is
to promote the elimination of the pcison
ous matters from the blood, which oc
f asion the most fatal symptom of sud
den heart failure on the patient. Blood
letting sufficiently practised at the
critical time, relieves nie . hanically the
pressure on the heart. Dr. Maragliano
bled twelve cases of pneumonia of aver
age gravity, abstracting from five to ten
ounces on the fourth or fifth day of the
disease, the venesection being repeated
unce. ne iounu xnat mere was an im
provement in the circulation, the pulse
aimmismng in trequency and becoming
fuller, and the twelve cases all recov
ered. This is strong evidence of the
value of bleeding.
The Italian physician's plea for the re
vival of bloodletting is that its judici
ous employment may save many lives
that otherwise would be sacrifice d when
the heart is on the point of being over
powered by the toxic matters in the
pneumonic patients. - -

Both in the preparation of the soil fo:
the crops before, planting and in giving
the earlier cultivation afterward, the
harrow can be used with profit; to a
more or less extent. For fining the sur
face of the soil it is one of the very best
' implements we have, aad, with the large
number of ditterent kinds sold undei
this name, we can secure an implement
adapted to almost any" kind of work and
in almost any kind of soil. The im
provements made upon the old A harrow,
are giving us the squarei Scotch, vibrat
ing, flexiblef and smoothing harrows, to
which may be added quite a list ol
spring, disc and catting or slicing har
rows. In this line of implements there
would certainly seem to be a full supply,
so that no matter what kind of soil the
farm is composed of, a harrow can be
used with profit on nearly or quite every
farm. But with the spring, disc and
cutting hai rows, they will do much bet
ter work with some soils than with
others. One will be best in one kind ol
soil, and the other in a different soil.
Some are better for some! kinds ol work,
and some for others. ,.
It is best to have the soil prepared inja
thoroughly fine condition before planting
the seed, and to keep the soil iu a good
tilth until the plants have made a suffi
cient growth to be able to commence
using the cultivators. Weeds are much
more easily destroyed when young than
after they get a good start to grow, and
if the soil is prepared in good tilth be
fore planting the seed, in a majority of
cases the harrow will be found the
cheapest and best implement to use in
destroying the weeds.
Ihe disc, spring or cutting harrows
are good implements to prepare the soil
in a good tilth lor seeding oats, grass or
other small grain; or when oats are sown
on corn-stubble or land that has been

The Speed of Thought. .
Some of the readers have no doubt
frequently made use of. the expression
"quick as thought," but have any of
them ever stopped to consider how quick
thought is? A writer in the Nineteenth

length of ticie it takes to call to mind
various everj-day facts.
It takes about two-fifths of a second
to call to mind the country in which a
well-known' town is situated, or the
language in - which a familiar author
wrote. We can think of the name of
next month in half the time we need to
think of the name of last month. It
takes on the average one-third of a
second to add numbers consisting of one
digit, and half a second to multiply them.
Such experiments give us considerable
insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two
to three iu less time than others : those
familiar with literature can remember
more quickly than others that Shakes
peare wrote j"Hamlet. It takes longer
to mention a month when a season has
been" mentioned than to say to what
month a season belongs.

longing to a printed word I need about
one-ninth of a second, to a letter one-
sixth of a second, to a picture one-quarter
of a second and to a color one-third of a
second.
A letter can -be seen more quickly than
a word, but we are so used to reading
aloud that the process has become quite
automatic, and a word can be read with
greater ease and in less time than a letter
can be named. The same experiments
made on other persons give times ditler-
g but little from my own. Mental
processess, nowever, take place more
slowly in children, in the aged and in the
uneducated.
Wife and Steamboat Captain.
Captain Mary M. Miller stood up and
was sworn in approved style the other
day in Lou:sville, Kj. Captain Mary
w.is in the presence of Inspector of
Steamboats Irwin Dugan, and was re
newing her license as a commander of
steam craft on the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers. She merely .took an oath to
faithfully and honestly, according to her
best skill and judgment, and without
concealment or reservation, perform all
the duties required of her as master by
the laws of the United States. Captain
Mary is the only woman who has evei
been licensed as the commander of a
steamboat in this district. In fact, but
two women captains have ever been
licensed, one of them being Captain
Mary and the other a Southern lady who
runs a boat on the lower Mississippi.
Both of them are careful and capable
commanders, but Captain Mary is inter
esting for other reasons than her profes
sional ability, as she is young and good
looking, and as shrewd at driving a bar
gain and as stern in the discharge of her
duty as she is fascinating. When not
on the river her home is in Portland,
where resides her aged and invalid hus
band, Captain "Natural" Miller. Cap
tain Mary is the old river man s second
wife, and. she has a stepson as old as
herself. She learned the river from
having accompanied her husband on
many. of 'his trips, and when the Cap
tain's health failed she took the helm of
the old City of New Orleans, his vessel
then, and ran her successfully. .. Cap
tain Mary is, of course, popular with her
crew, both on deck and in the office.
She'has saved many a poor deck-hand's
head from a stroke with a club in the
hands of a hot tempered mate. Captain
Mary has been a licensed commander for
three years. Ihe Captain is without a
vessel at present, but she expe ts a berth
in a short time. New York Press.
The ultra-fashionable young man
wears a good deal of ;'ewelry, for his
gold match-box, with its uncut rubies,
sapphires, and diamonds upon it, may be
counted among his jewels, while the sil
ver cigarette-case carefully enameled in
white and showing on its white back
ground a pretty ballet girl in black
must be considered another. On the
little finger of his left hand he wears a
heavy gold ring in which is imbedded
either a ruby or a sapphire, but never
both, and above this he likes to have a
Somewhat worn wedding ring, which he
can attribute to his grandmother, for he
is not above proving that he has one.
Auout his neck is a long, sender gold
chain, very fine and very closely woven ;
on .this is a little heart incrusted with
diamonds on one side and having on the
other, behind a clear bit of glass, the
face of the woman to whom he has sworn
eternal allegiance. White enameled
buttons and links are in best taste for
evening wear, and, indeed, are worn bv
many men all the time, though in reality
the plain gold buttons are proper for the

A Woman's Invention for the Blind.
Mile. Mulot, of Angers, France, has
invented a method by which the blind
can easily correspond with those who see.
ihe invention is, therefore, a marked
improvement, on the Braille system of
raised letters, by which persons afflicted
with loss of sight correspond with each
other only. Mile. MuloVs apparatus is
really a little printing press in a portifolfo
about the size ot a sheet of note paper.
m ai-n - ..
ine oiino person spreads it out and im
presses the letters required on white
paper, under which there is a colored pad
1- - 1 . - A . V 1
wmcn gives tnem a blue appearance, and
they are thus not only brought out in
relief for the touch of those deprived of
sight, but are also visible to the eyes of
tnose who see. Une of Mile. Mulot's
blind pupils has been able, by. means of
this system, to take part in a competi
tive examination for the diploma of ele
mentary teacher, and to "distance" some
of the'eandidates who were in possession
oi ineir visual iacumes.
Cuban Country Folk.
The country people of Cuba live in
thatched houses of three or four rooms
with dirt floors. The leaves of the royal
palm are used for thatching, and the
bark for the sides of the bouse. One
room is used for the kitchen. They have
no stoves or are places. In the center of
the kitchen is a table about three feet
high covered with dirt. On this they
make the fire and do the cooking each
utensil having a small fire under it. The
smoke escapes through the doors and
windows. Ihe babies live mostly on the
dirt floors, consequently they are 'not
very clean or prepossessing. -The dogs
and pigs seem to be perfectly at home
with the children. On the rafters inside
the room tobacco is hung to dry. The
family all sleep in one room.
They are very hospitable; they meet
you on the threshold with the salutation :
"Mi casa estu a su disposesionl" the
house is in your possession. The woman
of the house goes to the kitchen and pre
pares a cup of coffee for the guest, which
is drank out of a cup made out of a fruit
similar to the cucumber. After partak
ing ot tne conee, a board ana some
tobacco leaves will be brought out and
in a short time the guests are provided
with cigars. They all know; how to
make cigars. Itwould be quite impolite
not to accept and smoke cigars when
offered. The young ladies' smoke
cigarettes and some married ladies
cigars. ,
Their bill of fare is rather a singulai
one, and one that Americans do not
relish to a great extent. Everything is
served n courses. They boil all the
meat and vegetables in one pot. I have
seen and eaten of a dish composed of
cabbages, potatoes, beets, carrots boiled
with ham, beef and bologna sausage.
This dish they call "olla," and is one ol
which the Cubans are very fond. An
other favorite dish is baked turkey sliced
and served with onions. Their coffee ii
always good. Times-De-mocraC,

Longest Aqueduct In the World.
The longest aqueduct in the world is
the Vyruwy Lake Aqueduct, which
brings the water supp.y of Liverpool
from the mountains of Xorth Wales.
From the lake to the distributing
reservoirs is a distance ot o? miles; to
the town hall at Liverpool 7 7 miles.
The reservoir is an ancient lake basin

picturesque Welsh village. JNature s
original rampart has been restored by a
mass of solid masonry WiZ feet long and
120 feet thick at the base. The water
passes into the aqueduct through a
tower, where it is strained oi ail organic

Your Blood
eeas a good cleansing- this spring- in order to
overcome the impurities which hare accumulated
during the winter, or which may be hereditary, and

The appetite is restored asd sharpened, the digee-
tive organs are toned, and the kidneys and liver in

-I was f-eling very much worn out and .found
nothing to benefit me till I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.
I have now taken several bottles and it has made
me feel p rfectly well. I was also troubled with
