Lohstering is ,one of the chief Indus-
tries connected with the' fisheries of .
,
the Maritime Provinces and .each year
millions 'of dollars' worth of these
table delicacies are taken from the
traps of fishermen in the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and along Canada's Atlantic
seaboard. During the season of 1923
lobsters caught' by the fishermen of
the provinces of Price Edward Ta
land, Nova Scotia, New 13runsivick,
and Quebec yielded a revenue of
365,362 according to returns made to
the Department of Marine itnd Fisher-
,
ies. This was a slight increase in
value over the 1922 seaSon brought
about by the higher Prices secured. In
Prince Edward Island and in New
Brunswick there ,were . increases in
both the .quantity end value of the
catches, hut in Nova -Scotia adverse
weather conditions caused a decrease
in. the quantity of lobsters taken, but
the higher prices obtained oyer the
previous season .caused a rise in the
total. valise..
The totalcatch of lobstere In Nova
Scotia last year was 172,720 cwt.,
valued. at $3081,647, as- compared with
173,706 cwt. .in. 1922,,with a value -of
$2,913,087. ,_The fishing in western

The lobster fishery is the most im-1

about 30 per cent. of the total value of

Chinese Hair -Net Industry.
The hair -net buein.ess in China.hes
had quite a history. It was establish-
ed originally by Germans, -who im-
ported the nets from Chefoo ito Ger-
many and then exported them to the
United States as European-mada hair
nets. There is still 'considerable ex-
port of human -hair nets from China,
to European countries.
Wlien direct trade in human -hair
nets` was taken up with Chinb,, large
quantities of imperfect, under -sized,
and generally poor nets were exported.
This finally resulted in the establish-
ment in Chefoo and Tsinan, by the
_foreign and a few larger Chinese ex-
porters, of hair -net inspection fac-
tories, some employing 'as many as
1,000 operativas, where hair -net car-
goes are inspected and, if necessary,
the nets repaired before being shipped.
The net -malting itself is a hams or
-"cottage" industry; -the hair is dis-
tributed. around in the. various vil-
lages—in the hinterland of Chefoo and
in the region of the Shantung Railway
—and, the nets usually pass through
the hands of several Chinese middle-
men berme • they are offered by the
Chinese dealers to exporters.

It is hard to .surraise what_ as -1n
the queen's, mind. Did she disdain., to
change her ;orders, or did she intend.
to set a sensible example; as she.often
liked to do? The story as Mr. William
Le Qttenx tells It in Things I Know is
of Queen Victoria's last 'visit to' Nice.
• About a fortnight after the queen's
arrival, writes Mr. Le Quenx while
paseing up the Avenue de la Gare I
met a well-known detective, Superin-
tendent Fraser, of Sealant' Yard, who
with Monsieur Paoli, of the Parts
Surete, was her majesty's personal
Protector. When I asked him whither
he watt -hurrying he replied:
"Com -e with me, 1 ane going on a—
well, a very confidential eirisionl"
At -once I turned back with him.
To my surprise he,stopped before a
.oheap draper's shop ,and, pointing to
a long string of black -and -white
Striped suiishacles open. 'and swaying
in' the wind, inquired their 'price.
, "Five Prance, fiftY," replied the dark -
eyed Provencal girl in French.
My friend hesitated and inquired
whether they were of silk.
• "No, m'sieur, they are cotton,': was
the reply. .
With that he turned away. • Then he
explained that the queen, who had
been out for her afternoon drive, had
just returned and, calling him, had
told him that in the Avenue de la -Gare
she had been attracted by some sun-
shades hanging outside a shop, "GO
and buy me one, Fraser," she had
commanded. "They are the very I
thing I want here."
"But," ealleimed my friend to me,
"how can I fake the queen a four -and -
seven -penny sunshade? Come back
with me, and when I have told her we
will -go out to the cafe!", •
I walked back with him to Chniez
and waited while he pass -ed along the
Corridor Of the great hotel to her ma-
jesty's apartments.
His face had changed when he re-
turned a few 'Minutes later. "1 tall
rthe queen," he said, "hut she las or-
dered mEi to go back at onoe. She
seemed quite indignant and said,
'Fraser, you men know pothing about
sunshades! Pray how nui-ch -would
you expect me to give for a cotton
sunshade? Go and get me one at
-once!"
The total distribution of all species
of fish eggs and fry by the hatcheries
operated throughout the Dominion by
the Departinent of Marine and Fish-
eries reached 878,987,093 during the
season of 1922. This was an increase
of 88,000,000 as compared with 1921
and was 128,500,000 greater than in

What the child loves he will -most
OloserVe and study. Some knowledge
comes -concerning the 'habits and ways
of the little creatures that share lila
life; and personal affairs are insensibly
arranged so that there *IR be time
for everything—for i'lay, for stories,
for work. Birds must be fed regilarly,
.rain. or shine, no matter bovv -tempting,
tlia,;invitations of playmates or the
latest fairy tale. The dog must- be
wee-heti:and kept in the house until
thoroughly dried. If the kitten is thin
and stupid its, little owner must see
.that its f-ocol is more carefully selegt-
ed, that it doeS‘not have too -much
meat. Perhaps, his sinall sayings will
have to be expended in catnip, The

infinite patience 7/94 to trample on the
flower.beds, not to .scratch the furni-
ture, nor- tear holes in clothes. Ani-

sure their future -self-preservation. At-
tention to these details, influences the
mind and character, leading' to firm-

of time, to order, method and regu-
larity. . • .
Onildren, --like most savages, are
many times cruel. Aninia,Is that are
dependent have a civilizing influence
upon the child, for the savagery of
childreu is that of ignorazion, not of
malice. The many wants of pets, their
helplessness,' awaken'sa sense of moral
responsibility. A living creature can-
not be neglected without pain and
auffering following. Very different Is
the condition -of the book or toy that
is forgotten and left out dn the rain.

A- boy ,of seven, the, writer knew,
found fox- a time his ellief amusement
irsahooting stray animals with a shot-
gun, dee/axing it sport, One day ho
knocked a cat elf the fence, hrealoing
its legs. As the creature writhed upon
the grass, lie seemed to consider the
result of his conduct, both righteou,s
and amusing. A friend who had wit-
nessed the incident called him to her;
and after a short eonversation he saw
the inatter in a different light.. Will-
inglyhe offered to pay for having the
cat's legs set. But the veterinary's
fee was more than he possessed. The
sum needed to make up the amount
was advanced to him, and he paid it
back gradually out of his- small allow-
ance. With the greatest tenderness
h ecared-for the cat until she was able
to walk, and to this day she 1$ a 'Cher-

to open the fountain of love and pity

Pete also have a hygienic valuta
many of them requiring fresh air and
exercise at regular intervals, Thia
necessarily takes the child out of
doors in sunshine, on, dark /days, and
in all sorts- of weather, jt gives an
object of interest to what would other-
wise be a .dull performance. Many a
listless girl Who would rebel at rub-
bers and raincoat, glides into them
sinilingly when it is a question 61 a

willingly these burdens are borne for

the frolic and romping? Perhaps the

Childhood, like every age, needs its
duties, These must be simple and
genuine, not tasks imposed arbitrarily
• which another might do as well. The
child's duties' -should be definite and
inexorable, not done at all if he for-
gets or neglects them. Through pro.
tectren, nurture, and ownership of liv-
ing things inexorable citifies are best
presented. The ehild seeures'in this,
way sortie of the best lessons in. self•
denial and self-control, acquires a- senst
of pe:sonal responsibility and wise
restraint, and is taught in the mos(
natural Way, and all unconsciously, to
appreciate the rightsof others, even
the humblest, and to respect them al-
ways. More than this, by dolng deeds
that merit gratitude, children begin
dimly to understand how much grati-
tude theystwe to the loving hearts and
hands forever busy in their behalf.
There is- a certain spiritual and intel-
lectual growth that cornea from pro-
tecting and fostering depend-ent creas
tures;-from caring for lovely and lov-
able animals.
