PRIALITIVE FISH/NG. Hew Fish ..A.re .Catight By The Na- tives a The Congo. Primitive methods of icatching ,fish are in. vogue among the natives of - the Congo,. Sometimes they poison the water and occasionally fish with a hook and line, but their lavorito instrurriehts of destruction are fun - awls, shaped somewhat like ordinary eel pots, from which no fish, having once entered, can escape. tanall •funnel of this kind is call- ed a "nsoso" and ia made of thin steles of palm. A fish can easily en- ter, but as' soon. as he trier; to get out be finds. the exit 'barred by the ends of the strips; whfeli come to- gether just inside. the broad en- trance. When the °water is rising and falling fish can easily'. be caught, in this; way, Larger anti longel• funnels, known as "nswaX. etre also used. They aro made of broad stripa of palm or of branches of other trees. aud aro found very effective in rapidly flow- ing rivers. First, the river la dam- med, and then a number of ope,nings are Inade la it, behind which. the "nsWea" are placed. Through the force of the eurrent the fish are drill - en into the openings, and once there they cannot get out. Some a the fish caught in thcae funnels are of enormous site, fro. quently, indeed, so large that two • beSre find it no easy task to earry one of them home. • ,----.-+-.........-.

It Is not often the case that a man will refuse to accept a, rentuneratiVe and 'facile appointment, abroad mere- ly because of a violent a•vorslon to mosquitoes, yet such Was the reason put forWard in all setioUsness by a young English engineer for declining a position in Bombay. Tte averred that his dread of these tiny pests amounted, to a positive monomania, and that he would rather abention the irtOst brilliant prospects . than face the infects in qUestion. Abatird as the foregoing Case nriay appear it is no more ludicrous than the case of a young governess Who. actually refused a very excellent. sit- ttation in the family of a nobleinau simply because her Radical viewS Woold not alloW her to aeeept in- crement front a hereditary landlord, One wOuld have thought that her political views might have been sus- tained Without injtiry whilat teach. ing little thildren tO read and Write, but, evidently the lady thought. oth- erWiee, and the brilliant offer Was UnItealtatingty &dined: Another young woman of eccentric views refused to accept a, remunera- tive berth as private secretary to Well-known public man because the gentlenian in question posseSSed red hair, She declared that her aversion to ,yersons W.0.00,, too " great tO be overCOMO, and that no.. thing but starvation Would Compel her to undertake work which would bring ber in contact with Man of fiery lecke. Perhaps some other rea- son uaderlay her ridiculoau behavA tor, but, at any rate, the motive named was pat forward apparently with every sign of veraciousness, ONLY vir, OTHER DAY u. young librarian refused a Very ex.. eellent post at a certain public 11- brary on account' of the fact that the .institution in question contaitied the works of an author to whom ho had a very strong onjection, on prim. ciple. Perhans B01110 persons would admire thia Quixetie behavior, but the absurdity of it Must be obvious to all who reflect that his accept- ance or refuse.' would not affect the issue of the books congerned. Rather foolish, also was the con- duct of a, middle -egad Frenchman who some years ago declined a very remanerative position in a German firm in London because of Ms enmi- ty to the nation to which the part- ners belonged. He stated that to accept payment from the former en- emies of his country would be un - Patriotic and improper, and he ad- hered to this queer line of thought With steadfast persistence. When: one conies to consider how rare good situations are in these times the conduct of this gentleman appears all the more absurd, Perhaps, however,. the most extra- ordinarY reason on record for de- clining a brilliant offer was that put forward by young lady who had been wooed by a very wealthy and altogether attractive suitor rejoicing in the 'somewhat inelegant name of Pigge• She stated that liked the gentleinan very well de d, but that she could not accept is propos-, al of marriage unless he h g name. The suitor main ly declined to clo anything or the sort, where- upon he was at once dismissed, and the foolish girl lost an excellent and wealthy husband. by reason of • her foolish prejudice.

In "rear 1800, Z115,000,000; Ir Year 1900, Z100,000,000. The century that has just expired has Woo a notable one in many re- opeets. Two great factors, howeVee. stend out in bold relief -the advance of science end the growth of the BritiSh Empire. Taking as the basis of our comparison the populatiou of the United lilugdont at the two dat- es, one finds an increase of about two hundred and fifty per cent. In the case of a nation whose char- acter and policy were already clearly outlined by the end of the thirteenth century -for we may take Edward I. to be oor first typical English King -this is a buffielently•remarkable de- Velopment for a -single century. The causes of this increase aro, no donbt, largely,doe to the territorial growth of the British Empire, and to the Position assumed by England during the nineteenth ceatury as the work- shop of the world. The fact that the nineteenth century Was, au it has been picturesquely designated, the age of Tubal Oain, naturrsillioyptuencdeend.. to make the world's wo tre of business arid wealth, and, con- sequently, of population. With such i•emarkelle increase in pophiation as the century has shown, one inight not unnaturally expect a censiderable increase in military power. ' This, however, one does not find; the total armed forces of the Em- pire exceeding the- number available in 100 by. the small margin of 182,- 000 men, As Great Britain was en- gaged in it. serious` war during the whole of the two years under consid- eration, the comparison is not an urs. fair one, It snould be noted, how- ever, that a very large prop:oaten of the total force available in 1 800 con- sisted of volunteer's. When one coraea th compare 'the differenee in cost of the armith of 1.800 and 1900 one is at once struck by the largeness of the increase, when one considers how small, com- paratively, has been the increase in, personnel. An increase of 000 per cent. is sufficiently startling; and al- though the considerable total attain- ed by the volunteer force in 1500, as against the increased' total of the tnore costly regular force in 1000, to some, extent, no doubt.: accounts• for this; yet the increased weight, com- plexity and sdientific nature of mili- tary storea of all kinds, and most es- pecially -of artillery "material," is an exceedingly importaot fagtor the MSC.

About, 1,1.00 shopkeepers' assistants and employes marched the streets of the ancient city, bearing banners with the inscription, "Buy nothing Sundays," Many of the shops were closed, and those that were opened were respectfully aummened to fol- low the good example- Nearly all ca them gave favorable response by putting up their. shutters at once. It is notable that not a, single dis- orderly incident occurred. The Sun- : day closing movement in. France haa of late made enormous strides, and its effect may be seen even in Pktrie itself.
