The inoMt cyrloun of 6ltlea consists i of wooden huts oq wheels, t?? tiu> num I her of about one hundred and thirty, which, when the season arrives. are rolled onto the lee on Saginaw Hay, I Lake Huron.

In the center of each hut a hole, about a yard square, Is dug to the wa ter. One of the fishermen then takes a live fish' of the herring ttlhe, and after fastening It to a pteCe of pack* thread drops It Into the water. The fish dashes away as swift as an arrow until It Is pulled up by the thread, when It return* town pis the hole fol lowed by a host of pike and other flsh desirous to feast on the dainty mor sel. Beside the hole stand the fisher men, harpoon In hand, waiting the ar rival of the pursuers, who are received with thrusts of the four or flve-prong ed Instrument, which rarely falls to , bring up some writhing victims. Some huts can show two' hundred or more .of fine flab at the end of the day's work. The most weird appear* auee of this city is at night, when the fishermen prosecute the work by the light of torches, which, as Is wall known, attract Ash without the aid of the herring halt. .The glancing torches and the shadows of the men leaning over the holes make a strange spec tacle.

Loudon Tit-Tilts, FAIR' PLAY ABOVE VICTORY Canadian Soldier Generous in 8eeing That Opponent Should Have HI* Right Chance to Shoot. In an obscure 1>qb Angeles suburb lives a blind man. The following Is one ot the ninny stories he tells of his experiences : It wns In the early nineties thnt a picked team of American riflemen had gone Tnto Cannda for a friendly contest with the Queen's Own. The competition had been fierce and the score close when the last American rifleman laid down at 800 yards. He I hart to make 23 to tie and 24 to win out of a possible 25. A great crowd had gathered to watch the contest,, and had gradually closed ,Jh behind the firing station until there was -very little space left for the rlfle The first four shots scored the bull's eye, counting 20, With bis last shot he had to make a 3 to tie and a 4 to win. The excitement was Iriteuse, and the air . was charged with the magnetic stillness of repressed excite ment^ as the commanding officer of the Queen's Own stepped forward and called out "G*t back there and give the man a fair show. How can he shoot with yon standing on top of him V The crowd fell back, the American flred, and the vindicator recorded an other bull's eye. making his score 25. Age of Fishes. The most striking characteristic by which fishes of different ages can be distinguished Is their size.- But the size afford^ us only the means to esti mate the age of younger fishes; as to the older, it cannot serve us as an In dication of their age, since theli;, growth may vary according to tlfe dif ferent conditions of nutrition, so that often the younger fish will excel in size the much older fish. There Is, however, at least as regards the fishes of the Northern seas, a sure Indica tion that betrays their age. It is the otolites, or ear stones. These ear stones grow as long as the fish itself continues tg grow, and form annual rings In the manner of trees. The more annual rings shown by a fish's ear atones the greater its age. In this way the age of a fish can be ex actly determined. A Change for the Invalid. If you have a frlond lying ill, try taking some daintily prepared edibles next time you make a visit, Nourishing broths and soups, wine Jellies, delicately browned custards and light puddings made of eggs and milk are good. Or a small Jar of mar malade or half a dozen lightly brown ed biscuit' for the Invalid's . tea. Or creamed chicken and creamed oysters delivered |n a charming blue bowl and all ready to be heated up by the nurse. Grapefruit Is always appreciated and mandarin oranges and white grapes In a pretty basket are an appe tizing combination, and there are some invalids who would be delighted with a Jar of preserved ginger for occa sional nibbling.
