ODD WAYS OF THE FISHER FOLK Habits and Customs of Dwellers on the East Coast of Scotland Are Peculiar. The fisher folk of the east coast of Scotland have habits and customs dif ferent from those of any other section of the working classes. Except in selling their fish or pur chasing the actual necessities, or oc casionally borrowing from the bank when assistance Is required In the buy ing of an old or the building of a new boat, they have next to no traffic with the outside world. It is senium that a fisherman marries other than a flstier lass, and even should she allow her affections to wan der, the line is firmly drawn at a cooper or other fish-worker with the "codling bleed." which means that he belongs to a fisher family. There Is a distrust of the "fremt" as outsiders are termed almost amounting to a racial distinction, and this is emphasized In the Implicit con fidence one fisherman will place In an other, although they may be utter strangers to each other. It Is safe to say that the majority of the Scottish fisher folk are teetotalers. An odd fisherman may be met in most of the villages who is teetotal until asked to have something. Then It 1h: "Well, I'm a teetotaler in a kind ft u way. Nae bigoted, ye ken ; I never took ony pledge. A man's aye best that can templar hlmsel' ! Oh, I'll drink yer health no' that I care a preen p'nt for 't. Na, thank ye, I never tak' water." The fisherman Is emphatically of a re ligious turn. As a preacher he Is a marvel. With fewer opportunities than most men for the cultivation of cor rect speaking, he can go out into the square at Stornoway or Fraserburgh where thousands of his fellows have gathered for the summer herring-fishing, and discourse on a text for twenty minutes or so with an eloquence and grip of his subject which might be envied by many members or the cloth says a writer .n Mac Matters. Dog-Eating Cease as Igorotes Try Out Beef Manila. The dog market of Bagmo has disappeared entirely and the eat ing of dogs by the Igorots, a non Chrlstlan tribe, has been reduced to a minimum, according to Col. Henry Knauber. head of the constabulary academy at Bagulo. "Introduction of the meat of cattle and hogs has turned the Igorots, who formerly ate dogs. Into eaters of meats recognized by the civilised world as eatable," said Col. Knauber "These people had to have some kind of meat and years ago the only ani mal they knew was the dog. "When civilization Introduced cat ; tie and domestic hogs to these moan tain people, they quit eating dogs Only a few scattering cases of dof eating have been reported for some time, and these were among the poo plea living far back In the hill. " lit), 1S23. by McCluie .Nownpayor syudlcaie.j Hamsey Cummlngs was a bachelor, thirty-three years old, and was shy and ruther self-centered. So when Rainsey came to his office in the morning he generally went through the same routine day In and day out without much variation. There was a shy greeting to the office force, a quick dart into his large, comfort able office, a glance through the mall and then some dictation to pretty Mary Evans, while, shyly, he marveled at the luxuriance of her unbobbed brown hair, und marveled at the depth of her big blue eyes, and felt a little flutter around his heart at the mere thought that perhaps she might 6ome day preside over his home instead of merely being an important cog in the office machinery. But this morning there was a break In the routine. Kamsey, In fact, scarcely even looked up when Mary, radiant in her youthful beauty, en tered on time to the dot and took her accustomed seat. But Uiis morning there had come a letter an extraordinary, startling let ter and Ramsey was still reading It over and over and still trying to de termine whether It was a hoax or the real thing. This is what the letter, written In a flowing, feminine hand, had to say: 'Dear Kamsey (that's not very for mal, is it?) "I know you're a lonely old bachelor and you ought to have a home of your own instead of merely Inhabiting quarters. It looks to me as If you don't have much fun in life and It also looks to me as though a good home cooked meal would do you a world of good. So I'm going to take pity on you and Invite you to take dinner with my married sister and myself tomor row evening at half past six o'clock at my sister's home, 918 Linden avenue. There will be only we three my sis ter's husband will be out of the city, much to his disappointment, because we told him about our plans and he's much Interested In them. And I'm going to cook the dinner entirely by myself. "Now here's the point: I'd Just die if you should find out who I am, be cause this Is a mighty bold thing to do. My sister and I will be masked while you are at the house and I'm going to trust to your honor not to try to find out who we are. If you can't come, please phone Main 12119 promptly at 12:30 o'clock tomorrow noon and simply say 1 can't come' and give your name. But If we don't hear from you at that time we'll expect you tomorrow nlghc' There was no name signed to the letter and nothing else. Ramsey, quite absorbed at this rather pleasant break In the monotony of his life, read the letter again and again. At last, however, he looked up to find Mary's big blue eyes fixed on him In puzzlement at this astounding dis arrangement of the morning's routine. And as Ramsey looked full into Mary's eyes the letter was momentarily for gotten and a stronger wave of senti ment for Mary swept over him than he had yet experienced. On the Instant Ramsey felt a wild outburst of hopes and affection on the tip of his tongue. Then, on the instant a cloud of despair swept over him. For Mary dropped her eyes to her notebook and there he sew again the photograph of a man the same photograph that had been In her notebook for the past week end which she so frequently regarded with rapt attention. Her fiance, probably, thought Ramsey rue fully. Dictation went badly that morning. All durfaj the time Mary was In the office with him there were two ele ments In Ramsey's mind which stopped his usually ready flow of business language and made him frequently stop i.nd stare blankly into vacancy. Oue of these was his rapidly growing sentiment for Mary nnd fast augment ing rage i. gainst the unknown man whose picture she carried In her note book, nnd the other was the lure of the unknown v oman who had so suddenly and Interestingly come Into his life. All the rest of the day Ramsey was restless. Should he accept the Invita tion or not? On the following day he was not himself at alL He found It so Im possible to conduct his routine as un der normal conditions that he dis pensed entirely with dictation and spent almost the entire morning In a flurry of Indecision as to whether he should go to Linden avenue and meet the masked hostess or not For a shy man and a man who had few adven tures In life it was quit a problem. But half past twelve came and went, and Ramsey failed to call. As the afternoon wore on Ramsey came to feel a certain sense f fatality in the coming event. If he went to the dinner, he felt. Instinctively, that the masked hostess would ensnare him and that Mary, consequently, would pass out of his life forever. With a sort of courage born of des peration Ramsey tried hard to see Mary and tell her something that afternoon of the tumult in his heart, but fortune wasn't with him. He found no opportunity for doing so. At last, then, Ramsey, neatly garbed In a dinner jacket, drove to 918 Linden avenue. He looked with a quickening heart at a charming little bungalow, whose windows were glowing with friendly light and whose whole appear ance seemed to say "Here are life and joy and companionship. Come in. You're welcome." But In spite of the cheering appear ance of home Ramsey felt eiubar rassedly diffident as he finally ad vanced up the walk to the veranda and timidly rang the doorbell. There was a moment's delay. Then suddenly the door swung open and Ramsey, blinking In the light, saw a masked woman standing In front of him and beckoning him to enter. At least she wore no wedding ring, so this was the writer of the myste rious note. This was his hostess. In pantomime the masked hostess drew him Into the room and led him toward the tire, where the heat, on coming in from the frosty night, felt grateful. But why didn't she speak? Was she dumb? As though In answer to his thoughts the masked hostess took a tablet from the mantelpiece and wrote upon it hurriedly. Then she showed the mes sage to Ramsey. This Is what ho read : "You might hear me speak some day, so I'll not speak tonight. You understand I don't want to be recog nized." Ramsey read, then looked up at the woman. Her eyes were twinkling be hind the mask. Surely she couldn't be old. Surely she must be pretty and attractive and lovely. Ramsey felt his heart stirring. He felt himself enjoying his adventure Im mensely. A moment later another masked fig ure came Into the room. Ramsey, in pantomime, was Introduced to her and the wedding ring on her finger pointed out to him. This, then, was the married sister. Almost Immediately Ramsey was di rected to the dinner table. In all of Ramsey's long boarding house experience he'd never euten such a dinner nor, In spite of the silence, broken only by his own comments nnd laughter, had he ever been In such congenial company. It was good to he there In this cozy, warm home, with these two women attending to him. Yes, beyond a doubt his hostess must be young and lovely. Such a splendid adventure could have no other climax. But all good things must end. Too soon Ramsey found himself subtly directed toward the door nnd found his hat and coat It was time for him to go. Th A chill dismay clutching nt his heart, Ramsey stopped at the door and turned to face his masked hostess. The married sister had said good-by In pantomime and disappeared Into the kitchen. Again Ramsey looked deep Into the eyea betilnu tne masK. mis time uiey were dark and Inscrutable. And yet and yet surely there was a message In them for him. Surely Suddenly a great Joyous sense of conviction swept over Ramsey, He advanced a step toward his masked hostess, who retreated precipitately. Then he stopped. "I I," he said, huskily, "I know you I I know you. I'd know you any where, under any conditions. I've been crazy about yon for weeks months, but but into to the first time I've ever had 1 1 1 e courage to say anything. Why, why did you tease me so with that man's photograph In your note book? Who is he? What Is he to you?" For a moment there was silence. Then the masked hostess spoke and the voice was Mary's voice. I i don't know who he Is," she said softly. "I found the picture on the floor in the office and and " Now Ramsey had her In his arms. "And I let you see the picture so as to make you jealous. But you didn't seem to notice. And then I got this Idea of tills dinner and oh, Ramsey, you're so slow, you old dear 1" mm MAKE SUCCESS WITH GEESE I id L-Cll Goslings Month Old Are Hardiest of Fowls Grass In Ration Is Most Important. After goslings are a month old they are among the hardiest of fowls, but they are rather delicate at first and should have careful attention. The main thing Is to keep them warm and dry the first few weeks, feeding them a little at a time and often say fOUi or five times a day. One of the best rations on which to start goslings is a mixture of corn meal and shorts, mixed with bread or cracker crumbs, hard boiled eggs chopped tine, etc. It Is also a good plan to provide some tendi-i- grass as a relish right from the start. The goose ts essen tially a grazing bird, hence grass In Its ration Is aulte Important at all times. Other grain food, along with meat scraps, should be added to ths ration gradually as the goslings grow. Most people keep goslings in small movable runs for the first two weeks, so they can't run wild but can be moved to fresh ground each day where they can pick grass and bugs. The extent of this ranging space can be gradually Increased until the goslings are a month old, then they should be turned out on free range where they will find lots of pasturage to make rapid growth. Geese do not have to have water to wlm In, but at the same time they get lots of enjoyment from It. If a small stream or pond cannot be pro vided, then It Is quite essential that the fowls have an abundant supply of good drinking water, which they con sume freely. After goslings are turned on pas ture, If the grass Is In good condition, It Is not necessary to feed them grain more than twice a day at first and later once a day. The first object should be to get as large a growth of frame as possible. Let fat come last. To build frame requires lots of grass, bugs and worms, and grains like oats and buckwheat that are not especially fattening. As fall approaches and the grass be gins to fall, corn should be substituted for one of the other grains as It to more fattening. Starting at least a month before the holiday selling sea son, the geese we want to sell on mar ket are fed all they will eat of a mix ture of corn and oats at first and corn alone later. In fitting geese for market it Is hardly possible to make them too fat, as extreme fatness has no bad effect upon their tnble qualities and therefore most people want lots of It. Farm Life.

Devoted Guards Keep Channel Light Burning GEESE AND CHICKENS MIXED Fowls Do Not Breed Very Well To gether Supply of Clean Water la Important. Geese and chickens do not breed verv successfully together. As Is well known, geese like to dig around in the dirt and then wash their faces In every pall of water that Is placed In the yard for the poultry. The geese will soon empty the pails by dipping their heads deeply In the water and throwing It over their hacks until the palls contain only a few lnehcs of dirty water. A steady supply of clean water la Imnortant for growing chickens so the geese become a nuisance In the en closure. Geese will often drive the poultry away from the dry mash hoppers. As the profit In geese depends on raising them on a cheap ration largely com posed of grass It does not pay to feed them much mash during the summer The best place for geese Is a field near a pond. This gives the birds plentv of water. They do not need body of water but It saves the work of carrying a lot of drinking water If the geese have their own supply for washing In. Silver Map.
