The men's earnings in the majority of
cases are insufficient to keep them all
the year round, and consequently they
take advances from their masters year
after year to such un extent that they
can never repay their debt. When a
diver elects to engage himseir to an

The Market In Caul.
We believe that there is still some
market for cauls among sailors, wbo
retain their belief in the efficacy of the
membranes as a protection against
shipwreck and drowning. Notices of
"Cauls For Sale Within" were to be
seen recently In windows in the vicin
ity of the docks of both London and
Liverpool, but It is Rome time, alnce
we have noticed an advertisement of a
niul for sale in the dally press. It may
be remarked that the sale of cauls, so
far from being a very ancient custom,
is a comparatively modern Innovation.
The witchcraft of the middle ages de
dared against the caul retaining any
virtue whatever If parted with by gift
or sale to any but a member of the
child's kiudred. Iondon Lancet.

rarest of all things it ought to pass
through some sort of probation. The
