THEY TAP BALLAST.
The Cod Servcn as a Weather
Guide for Mariners.
That a fish should ever do anything
so unSshlike as to take in ballast
would strike many people as para
doxal. Yet those who have gone
down to sea in ships and are learned
in fin-bearers' lore testify to the real
ity of this phenomenon." The cod is
the iish which lays himself open to
this cruel charge, and is known to
actually gulp down stones almost as
large as a foot-ball, and more than
one of them. too. Whv it does so a
' reporter learned from a veteran cod
1 fisherman 3'esterday. "Why, yes,"
, said he, "of course cod fish take in
ballast. Why, I've found eight or
ten stones inside the fish's maw after
we have caught him. The cod takes
in stone in order to keep himself at
the bottom during a gale. When you
are cod fishing you can always tell if
theie is to be a gale, or whether a
gale has just passed that wav. Then
j you get in a regular quarry. A good
I Ku2, ui tuuuc, tunica ii.u cuu up lu
me sunace, wnere ne lias a nam
time of it. You sec. there is a sort
of bladder which forms in his jaw
and runs out sometimes as far as a
foot or so. This bladder fills with
air and floats the fish and keeps him
from going down. So, in order to
prevent that, he picks out sound
stones on the sea bottoms and swal
lows them. Sea-elephants do the
same thing, and often huge stones are
found in their stomachs."
"llow is the cod caught?" tlio
reporter inquired.
"They are caught on 'trollers.'
There is a long line a 'runner' fish
ermen call it and at every fourteen
or eighteen feet a short fine lino five
or six feet long is fastened. I used to
have on my runners as many as three
hundred hooks baited. Tho line
would be baited on board ship, and
the whole 'snood' would be coiled up
into a tub, tapering toward tho bot
tom, so as to give the line play. The
coiling is very important, and you
mti3t take great care with it so as not
to snarl the lines. For bait, dog fish,
white fish, and such like, in chunks
bigger than your hand, are hooked on.
The boats put off with the tub in the
bow, and when we'd get to a good
spot the man in the bow passes the
line, all bailed, to the stern-man,
who throws it overboard a3 fast as it
is paid out. It used to go out pretty
fast sometimes when the tide was
running strong, and many a feller
has got his fingers ripjcd open on
the hooks. The whole line would
then be anchored, and we'd wait
until slack-water came, which would
be in five or Bix hours, and then
haul in.
"That used to be hard work. The
fish would run small and large, and
we would hook on skates and dog fish
and white fish and others beside the
cod. Once when we were pulling up
anchor we hauled in a big stone
which weighed three hundred
pounds, and was full of scallops and
mussles and long and round clams.
"When we got the catch back to
the smack we'd dress the fish and
stow them away in fine ice. We
used to work day and night some
times, and once," off Cape Sable, I
slept only nine hours in five days
and nights. A ship-load which av
eraged sixty pounds to the fish used
to be considered a good one. Some
times the average would run as high
as one hundred pounds. The cod
runs all the way from fifteen to two
hundred and three hundred pounds
in weight. I once caught one which
weighed over three hundred pounds."

Walkins on the "Water.
Seventeen thirsty tramps, eighteen
lazy bootblacks, one boiled crab man
and a couple of hundred women and
children walked, stood, or sat on the
bank of the Wissahickon yesterday
afternoon, awaiting with breathless
anxiety the appearance of C. U. Fort,
a man who had promised to walk on
the water. Mr. Fort reached the edge
of thestreatn, clad inboating costume,
his cheek pale at the prospect of un
dertaking so perilous a feat, but with
his lips set in a manner that seemed
to mean success or death. He pro
ceeded to attach his feet to two min-
aturo scows made of rubber and fas
tened together so to allow one to slide
by the other a certain distance. The
ecows were about four feet long by
two wide.
While the adjusting process was
going on, the seventeen tramps gaped
with wonder, the bootblacks Fat on
their boxes and dug their heels in
the turf, the crab man handled all
the crabs in his basket with very
dirty hands, and the women and
children clapped their hands. Fi
nally Mr. Ford raised himself into
an erect position and embarked,
pushing ona foot before the other
with the exercise of much muscle
and a great deal of patience. lie
traveled about a quarter of a mile on
the water in an hour and then stop
ped, amid the plaudits of the specta
tors. A colored man in the crowd
was much excited by the sight and
began to sing ma loud veice: "Hal
lelujah, oh, Lord am come. Seo
him walking on the Galilee Creek."
This made the crowd disperse and
then Mr. Fort, picking up the little
scows, retired, bowing at space.

Mitchell is three years old, and his
principal playmate is a Siberian
bloodhound of immense proportions.
The other day the dog rolled him off
the porch, four feet from the ground,
in play, and fairly mopped the
ground with the small boy. When
lie let him go the child lay still,
looked up in his face, and said:
"Don't be afraid, big dog ; boy won't
hurt yon !"
"Now, Mamie," quoth a fond
parent to her darling, who was
about to depart for a children's din
ner party, "don't forget your man
ners. He sure and say," yes, sir,
no, sir, and yes, ma'am, and no,
ma'am, when any one speaks to
you." And Mamie, being asked if
she would have some soup, replied
with a promptness entailed by the
consciousness that she was saying
the right thing in the right place:
"Yes, sir, no, sir, ye3, raa'm, no,
nia'm," and then wondered what
they were laughing at. The Ram

The Settlement.
A rich man in Davenport hired
man to dig a cistern, agreeing to pay
$12 for the job. After it was done
tho rich man seized tho laborer's
tools and locked them up, alleging
that the cistern leaked. It was really
a ruse to make the working man
take less pay. The latter dissembled
his rage and induced the rich man to
descend into the cistern to examine
it. No sooner had he done so than
the laborer drew up the ladder and
stood guard over the cistern with a
club, vowing that tho other should
not come up until he had settled the
bill. The imprisoned one yelled
"murder 1" and "fire!" and a crowd
of his neighbors gathered, but when
they learned the trouble no one would
interfere, and they let him stay until
he liquidated. Peoria (111.) Journal.
A Costly Bit of Furniture.
Among the costly articles of furnit
ure designed by Alma Tadema, for
a millionaire American, is a musical
cabinet, tho upper part of which is a
copy of an Asiatic temple. The
pillars are of fluted cedar wood, the
delicious red-brown of that beautiful
wood coming out with great effect by
reason of the carving. The capitals
are carved ivory in a mellow tint of
warm cream color. The rest is
ebony, inlaid with various woods
and with exquisite mother-o'-pearl,
which glitters like jewels. The
curtains that veil the recesses in
tended for holding the music are of
gray silk embroidered in soft, rich
colors, a lyre occupying the center.
JFor tho Crazy Quilt.
Mr. Dusenberry "My dear, where
are all my silk neckties?"
Mrs. Dusenberry "I used them
in my crazy quilt. Put on the one
you wore yesterday."
Mr. Dusenberry, a twinkle in his
eyes "iou have a weakness for
ties, I notice. By the by, there are
a number of them on 'the station
lot."
"What! ties?"
"Yes. At least a dry load of
them."
"Good gracious, Mr. Dusenberry!
And just a little worn?"
"Yes."
"What kind of ties are they?"
"Kailroad ties, my dear." Phila

"You do?"
"Oh, yes, more than there is in

The Boston papers are commenting
on the fact that a boy who sold some
of his father's furniture, during the
absence of his parents, received
exactly the same sentence as a man
who nearly killed his wife. The
judge who imposed the sentence
evidently believes it is easier to
get a new wife than it is to get new
