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

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. They nre in great (lemmilti an
very lird to get."

THE STEADY PRESSURE.
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.

YOU CAN'T FIND ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMINC OUT
Save your hair! Maek it thIck. iavy,
wlossy and beautiful at once.
Try as you will after an application
of Danderine, you can not find a sin
gle trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not Itch, but what
will please imost after a few weeks'
use, when you see new hair, fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of the haIr. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moister a cloth with
Danderine and carefully dra.w it
through your hair, taking one strand
at a time. The effect Is iimlediate
and amiazing--your tair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have- an appear
ence of abundance; an- incomparable
lustrc, softness and luxuriance, the
beauty and shinmer of true hair heath
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toil
et counter, and prove that your hair is
as pretty and soft as any- that has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment. A small trial bottle .will
double the beauty of your hair.
