FISHING FOR BIRDS
Catching- GulU and Albatross With
J t Rod and Line
Curious though it may seem it Is a
fact that birds are caught withrbd and
line in many parts rof the World Tho
pastime Is declared to be almost as fas
cinating as fishing Gulls in Newfound
land are caught in this way in large
quantities In New England fishing- for
gulls and petrels is an important in
dustry
The method of bird fishing is practi
cally the same as that of ordinary
fishing4 Two men go out in1 a dory and
throw pieces of cod llvbr on the watdr
When large quantities of- birds have
been attracted id the spbt1 more edd
liver is thrown but oh a hook This tho
birds greedily swallow1 and thus fall
easy victims-
Albatross are fished for in the Same
way off the Gape- of Good Hope1 A
piece of pork is attached to a long line
and thrown overboard The bird -will
dye it for a long- time gradually and
cautiously making toward it Suddenly
he -will gelze it and Jiold it In his beak
When -he discovers that heis caught he
Will sit on the water and vigorously
flap his wings However he will be
drawn into the boat and made a cap
tive -
Albatross fishing- Is good sport since
the blrd Tequires careful handling So
long asi he pulls against the line it is
easy enough Tho moment however
he swims forward the hook will drop
from his beak unless it- is skillfully ma
nipulated and the- bird will find him
self free
A CURIOSITY IN BOOKS
The Famous Chained Iilbrary
of
AVlmlioarne Ireland
Ireland is noted for
many things but1 its famous chained
library Is perhaps the mbst notable of
its curiosities The library possesses
unique interest as being oneof the
earliest attempts to disseminate knowl
edge among the people The collection
was made accessible to the people In
1G8G and numbers some -200 volumes
The scarcity of books and the value of
the collection are both indicated in the
care taken for their preservation and
especially against loss of such treas
ures by theft By means of chains
and rods the books were f securely fas
tened to the shelves and these chains
it is rather surprising to learn were
not removed until 1S57 when the li
brary fittings were repaired Among
the interesting works of the collection
is a copy of the1 first edition of Sir
Walter Raleighs History of the
World 1614 It has suffered from fire
and tradifidn says that Matthew Prior
was responsible for its condition the
story being that he fell asleep when
reading it once upon a time and the
pages were burned by his candle It
has been neatly repaired and its mis
hap now adds to Its interest The old
est volume in the library is a fine old
copy In vellum of Reginum Aninnar
rum It is in manuscript and bears
the date 1343

How It Is Constructed In Japan Its
Orlffinnl Home
The wind bell as its name implies
is made to ring by the action of the
wind in fact the wind bell is not a
bell at all strictly speaking but a con
trivance composed of a number of
pendants suspended In a circle from a
ring and hung close together so that
they will come Into contact and pro
duce sounds when swayed by the
winds
Some wind bells produce sounds that
are pleasing and musical Some are
made with glass pendants some with
pendants of metal some are very
small and simple In construction oth
ers are large and massive and elabor
rate
The original home of the wind bell -is
Japan In Its simplest form it is com
posed of a number of narrow strips of
glass perhaps six Inches In length
suspended Lengthwise from a wire
ring about two Inches in diameter
Within the circle formed by the strips
thus suspended is hung by one corner
a little square piece of glass halfway-
down the length of the long strips the
strips and the square piece ornament
ed with various Tapanese characters
and designs This wind bell may be
hung up wherever a breeze will strike
It and blow the strips Into contact with
one another and with the square sus
pended among them Detroit

Artificial Birds
In very1 early times -men began to
experiment with a view to making
t
artificial birds and animals that would
imitate the motions of living creatures
and If we are to believe the records
some bf the artists In that line were
remarkably successful
Archytas of Tarentum who lived
in the year 400 B C constructed an
artificial pigeon that could fly but
which was not able to resume Its flight
after once alighting
John Muller a German of great me
chanical skill constructed an artificial
eagle which on the entry of Emperor
Maximilian into Nuremberg flew but
o meet him and returning alighted
on the city gate to await his approach
A Parsons Swearing
Parson Blodgett a former local
preacher residing In Linden had in
front of his house a watering trough
freely patronized by people riding by
One evening a man hurriedly drove
up to water his horse and the wheel
of his wagon struck the trough vio
lently The parson came out hur
riedly and cried Hog rabbited to
hemp seed tobacco Cant you drive
straight
Go in and shut the door replied
the driver and next time you want
to swear parson do It like other men

ORIGIN OF NEW YORK NAMES
New Dorp Replaced a Town Thrice
Destroyed by Fire
There are some names of places in
Greater New York common enough on
the modern tongue but the origin of
which is not so generally known New
Dorp on Staten island was so named
by the Dutch to distinguish It from
Oude Dorp Old Dorp the first Dutch
settlement on the island which was
thrice destroyed by the Indians Old
Torp stood to the northwest of Fort
Wadsworth about where Arrochar
now stands Two miles to the west of
the ruins of Old Dorp the persistent
Dutch built their New Dorp
The northeast section of Staten Is
land which until the formation of
Greater New Yorkwas known as Cas
tlefon and is still generally so called
takes its name from the fact that it
once formed Governor Dongdns man
or of Castleton Dongan tlie Dougan
Mils are named from him Was of the
family of the Earl of Limerick and the
seat of the earl in Ireland was- Castle
town in the County Kildara lany of
Governor Dongans descendants still
live on Staten Island some of them oc
cupying and owning houses on the land
of the old manor At first Governor
Dongan merely had a hunting lodge on
Staten Island and it Is significant of
the state of that pdrtiou of New York
city at the end of the seventeenth cen
tury that at a meeting of the colonial
council the governor was entered on
the minutes as absent being engaged
at his hunting lodge on Staten Island

Bedlows1 Island on which the statue
of Liberty stands was purchased in
1716 by an Englishman named Bedlow
who had amassed a large fortune in the
East India trade and was an acquaint
ance of the then governor the notori
ous Lord Cornbury Bedlow received
from Cornbury the privilege of victual
ing the British fleets which frequented
New York It was a most profitable
monopoly having in it great possibili
ties of graft Cornbury is supposed to
have stood in with Bedlow When
Bedlow died suddenly Cornbury seized
all hfs papers collected all the out
standing debts due the contractor and
kept everything of Bedlows he could
lay his hands on leaving Bedlows wid
ow and children in poverty Bedlows
island was bought and used by the con
tractor while he victualed the fleets as
a depot for his stores
Cbrlears Hook takes its name from
Jacob Corlear the city trumpeter in
the old Dutch dayst Governor Beek
man bought It from him The governor
also bought a country estate the site
of which is commemorated by Beek
man street
The true meaning of the word Man
hattan originally spelled variously as
Manhattoes and Manhat
tan is hid in mystery It is not even
certain whether it was the name of the
place or of the tribe which inhabited it
or of both The old idea that the word
meant Place of Drunkenness has been
satisfactorily confuted but what does
the word mean New York Press
Spencer and Colors
Herbert Spencers notions of art were
very crude His favorite color was
what he called impure purple He
wore impure purple gloves and find
ing that the furniture was a little som
ber had a binding of impure purple
parted round It by a seamstress He
cut the firststi ip himself and showed
her how to stick It on with paste He
luil his vases filled with artificial flow
ers He wished to have everything
bright about him and consequently en
joyed colorl When it was suggested he
could get that In real flowers he re
plied Booh They would want con
stant replenishing He wanted to
know why the people should object to
artificial flowers in a room any more
than to an artificial landscape Home
Life With Herbert Spencer
Plgrs In China
A Peking correspondent says It is
no uncommon sight to see twelve or
thirteen enormous fat pigs with their
legs tied huddled close together having
a ride in a Chinese cart with some
sort of light cargo on top of them and
a man sitting on the cargo The pigs
are silent and consequently one would
think they should not be objects for
the action of the Society For the Pre
vention of Cruelty to Animals The
fact is that the animals are too fat and
lazy to make any noise until disturbed
at their journeys end when bagpipes
are as Italian opera to the terrific
squealing heard

The Beatrice Creamery Cos Square Deal
Grading Rules
Since the inauguration of the band
separator system the tendency of the
cream patrons has been to deliver cream
when it best suited his convenience He
has also neglected giving the same pro
per care Consequently the general
quality or standard of cream has been
lowered At the same time the patron
expects the creamery company to pay
the top prices and Beemingly did not
realize that good cream was essential
to make good butter and that poor but
terjmeant lower prices for butter fat or
a loss to the creamery man From the
fact thatf infrgqpeocy of delivery and
thin cream are the principal causes for
poor quality we decided on January 1
1906 to grade cream based on the fol
lowing rules
No 1 cream would consist of cream
that was delivered twice a week in good
condition and testing 30 per cent or over
No 2 cream would consist of cream
that was delivered less frequently or
testingless that 30 per cent
A differential of three cents was paid
between No and No 2 Since the ad
option ofi this plan we have received
numerous letters from patrons through
out qur territory protesting against the
rulesthat the saine were working ah
injustice claiming that when they
churned a part of their weeks cream
and delivered the balance in good con-
dition they were forced to take second
rade prices others claimed they would
deliver a part of their weeks cream at
one town the balance to another and
because our records did not show that
bothdeIiveries were made to the same
agent they were forced to accept second
grade prices
Realizing that ill feeling and dissat
isfaction have never built up an Indus-
try and knowing that the farmers as a
class araalways ready to meet a fair
proposition half way and will do their
part if approached in the right manner
we have deeded beginning July 15
1906that we shoulcl grade all cream de
livered at our stations on the merits of
its quality instead of ahyarbrtrary rules

ask the attention of all cream producers
to a few simple rules
1 See that tho separator pails cans

washed and scalded before using
2 Skim the milk as soon as possible
after milking
3 Keep the cream screw set to de
liver a thick cream and the separator
run at the proper speed which will in
sure a uniform test
4 Cool the cream immediately after
separating to remove the animal heat
and do not mis warm cream with cold
5 Keep the cream pail or can in cold
water and when delivering to the station
cover the same with a blanket -This
will prevent heating the cream in sum-
mer or freezing in winter
