HERRING FISHERS DO WELL Splerld Catches and High Prices Have Beeti the Rule Among Them for Many Years Now. The herring fisher works always on the night shift. not because the fish feed Mt night-herring take no known balt-but because they can be seen at night. Taking their cue from the whale or sengull as to the location of the her ring, the boats go off two by two (for they work always in couples) late in the evening to the fishing ground. Ar rived there, they stop their motors, and gliding silently over the dark wa ters they look for the fish. One of the ien bumps the anchor two or three times on the bow of the boat, and instantly a patch of water lights up with a bright phosphorescent gleian. It is the herring, and the ring net (now more generaily used in the west of Scotland than the driftnet) is lowerel. It is held up by corks an(] hns a smiall light at one endl. This the partner boat picks up ; they circle around the herring until the two boats come together, when most of the men clinb into one hont, where they draw the net, with the herring, on board. In this little hlighlanl village the Men of the list two generations have done well with the fishing. Their boats, complete with nets a ni motor, cost between ?300 and ?400, but only the other night a couple of boats, own ed by brothers. dividel ?750 between then for one night's catch.-London Mail. COMFORT BAGS PLEASE ALL Nothing Given Out by the Red Cross Is More Appreciated by the Soldiers on Service. The following is an extract from a letter of a Red Cross hospital repre sentative: "The men like the comfort kits bet ter than anything the Red Cross gives them. We have asked dozens of them what they like best of all that is given them-tobacco, magazines, amuse 2nents, etc.-and they all say at once the comfort kits and toilet articles. They come in from the front without even a toothbrush, and when I send the bags around by the other patients, they come back and say: 'Say, you oughter see how pleased those guys were-they said it was Just like Christ nns. They were all sitting up in bed looking at the things in their bags.' ."The other (lay one man who had lost his right hand, called me over to him and sa11: 'Here, I'll donnte my sewing-idt. My wife has got to (10 mine after this. I'm out of it. Yote can give this to some other fellow who needls it.' lie find heard the others asking for sewing-kits all down the warl.

Men often strain too hard to b~e bril hiant, to be above the average in abil ity, genius and what not. More men ire ruined in what they might do by setting brilliance as their aim, rather zhan faithfulness to average ability. 'fhere are only a few bri'ilianit.folk in this world and their lot is not ar. envi able one. Better, far better, be a man of average intelligence, with the aill Ity to do hard work, to have the genius for staying patiently by the allotted task, the willingness to keep up the :'teady pressure, says Rockford Repub lie. You will accomplish more that way. About the only genius worth tak Ing into account for the average one of us is that capacity for taking pains, for maintaining the steady pressure, ihnt is necessary to anyone who hopes :o do well his duty from day to day. Forget that you wish to be brilliant. Do the daily round of ditty, with some measure of inspiration; do it thorough ly, patiently ; finish it. That is the way of success and Its achievetent. The world's work is done by the aver age folk, not by brilliant ones. Defining a word is the first step in knowledge. Some people use words all their lives without dlefining them. Such threatens to he the case with "bolshevism." One way of showing what a word is Is to show what it is r'ot. "Bolshevism" is a Russian word; but bolshevism is not a Russian thing. It is not a disease communicable by germs, as some imagine. It is not new. Bolshevism lies at the bottom of every human heart. Surround it with the proper cultural conditions, and it will grow. It may take the form of proletarian government, as in Russia, or it may take some other ugly form. But ugly as it is, it is not as ugly as the conditions which nourish it. These conditions can be controlled. That is our business in America today. If Illyria is to be the name chosen by the Jugo-Slavs as that of their country, another of Shakespeare'g states besides Bohemia will take its place in the European family of na tions. The citizens of Illyria, of Shakespeare's Illyria, are very well known in literature. Every one knows Viola and Malvollo, to say nothing of the famous Sir Toby Belch. Illyrin was a Roman denomination, and the name was revived only in the firsI years of the Nineteenth century, for the convenience of sweeping into one bag all those territories which became the appanage of the Austrian crown. Two items in the news;'are seen t9 have a close connection, when placed side by Mide. One points to a recru descence of interest in the raising of fruit in America. The other reports that in Belgium alone 170,000 acres of fruit orchards have been ruined, and that in France 500.0X fruit trees were destroyed by gunfire an( by the Ger mans. It is evidenit that Amerienn or chardists will ho called upon to fill a great vold in the European fruit niar ket, and that they aire getting ready to grasp the oiortuitIy. Shopkeepers ini C.oblenz who have been selling iron crosses with the American flag iiinned to the ribbons have biieen seat to jail, and all have been warned that any disrespect to the A mmericean colors wvill be pun ished.
