FISH ARE SCARCE
George Willett, inspector t*.
S. Biological Survey, who u ir.
charge of Forrester Island
writes to local people that there
are fully five hundred fisher
men on Forrester Island and as
fish are scarce and buyers are
scarcer, no one there is making
any money nor does it seem
probable that they will unless
conditions change. A ruling
has been made that no power
boats -are allowed to fish from
the Island. Judging from this,
it would appear that fishermen
had better stay away from For
rester Island this year.

EATING AND ELOQUENCE.
An Englvhman's Pretest Against Post.
prandial Garrulity.
A!l men eat. must men speak; but,
though nil tueu eat a dinner, only the
few .speak after It. while the many
listen and suffer.
• To say that eating and eloquence go
hand in hand may be a solecism, but
it is a la at any rate a condition,
in these days and these latitudes. Aft
er dinner speaking is nn evil peculiar
to no land. It is an infliction that
obtains a wider vogue in civilized
countries than in those that are still
close to the primitive ideal. The sav
age has not readied that stage of de
generation where he Imagines that the
processes of digestiou are aided by
discussion and stimulated by dullness.
The primitive man clings to tobacco
and repose as the pleasurable adjuncts
of his victuals.
Ikistpi indial garrulity reaches Its
in-'st virulent development among the
English speaking peoples. It has he
roine almost a ritualistic and religious
function with them, and the resolute
Englishman or American goes to his
feeding function, his banquet, to eat,
drink arid be iso -d at seriously nrnl
solemnly.
To gorge a t"s..i with dishes and
delicacies ns . ..reparation for goading
him with delis-"tinee and dullness is
the substitute which a modern civiliza
tion provides for the Roman holiday,
for. though this age til.hors blood and
slaughter and shudders reminiscently
over the memory of gladiators. Xu
midinn lions and Christian martyrs, it i
does not hesitate to make martyrs of j
its guests and throw them to its lions,
the after dinner spouters. — London

HUNTING THE HIPPO.
Methods of the Wily Native Hunters of j
North Africa.
As hippopotamus hunters the Shullas
of the Subat regiou. North Africa,
stand aloue A native hippo hunt is
au exciting and dangerous sport The
hunters are iu dugout canoes; two or
three paddle while one manages tbo
harpoon or barbed spear, to which are
attached a stout rope and a duat of
a in batch.
When the liipiio comes to the surface
to breathe an attempt is made to steal
upon him with ttie harpoon; when this
is accomplished the hunters make a
hasty retreat from tlie enraged beast,
and iu turn encage his attention while
attempts are made to spear him by
those in the other canoes.
When severely wounded a hippopot
amus goes ashore to rest or to die and
nut to attack its assailants, as has been
so often reported The native hunters
wait fer this, and when the animal
goes up oat ot the water a volley of
spears is thrown into it. and slowly
the Huge beast bleeds to death. The
hunters do not always escape. Some- j
times the life or a limb of oue of them !
is sn ringed to their daring.
The hide of the hippopotamus is cut j
into strips and dried to be sold to ■
Arab traders, who. in turn, sell it to j
tbe whipmakers of Omdurman and j
Egypt. Certain portions of the hide
are much prized as shields The flesh
is cut into long, narrow strips and i
dried in the sun; its taste resembles
that of coarse beef.
A King's Dog Lost.
I.ord North liffe's reference to King
Charles’ cry for his lost dog as being
among tbe earliest English newspaper
advertisements reminds one. says the
Loudon Chronicle, of the tone of those
pioneet announcements. Here, then,
is CUuiles in search of a do#:
"We must tail upon you again for a
K .a k Dog. between a Greyhound and
a Spaniel, no white about him, only a ’
streak on his brest and his tayl a lit- ■
tie bobbed It is his majesty's own I
dog. and doubtless was stoln, for the j
D'.a was nut born nor bred in Eng- .
laud, md would never forsake his |
Master Whosoever finds him may
acquaint any at Whitehall, for the Dog
was better known at Court than those !
who stole him Will they never leave
robbing his Majesty? Must he not j
keep a dog? This Dog’s place is tbe
only place which nobody offers to
buy.”
