Facts Concerning Herring. Some new facts concerning the her ring are contained In the scientific section of the fishery board for Scot land. According to a paper by Dr. Wemyss Fulton, certain theories as to the growth and age of the fish which have been accepted for the last quar ter of a century are not well found ed. It now appears that the herring is a fish of slow growth, and is barely 24 inches In length when one year old. It does not reach maturity and spawn until five years old, and is then of an average length -of 9 inches. Herrings over 12 Inches long, like the large Loch Fyne-fish, may be ten years old and more, and the large specimens that are occasionally caught, measuring from 14 to 15 Inches, are probably over 15 years old, and may be 20. Investigations are In progress to discover the reason for the decline in the herring fishery of Loch Fyne in recent years. An inter esting method which has been adopt ed to trace the migrations of the fish consists in marking some of them while In the seine net with a printed silk tag and setting them free. Over 500 have been thus marked, but, so far, only five have been caught again, and these were, near the place of lib eration. The Grave ef Goldsmith. That Oliver Goldsmith was buried la the churchyard of the Temple has been placed beyond doubt by the entry in the register. But the stone on the north side of the Temple church, around which the enthusiasts of the Goldsmith club gather, has been placed on a spot purely conjectural, for the exact position of the grave has never been discovered. The real site was remembered as late as 1830. In that year the sexton, a very aged man, who apparently was present at the burial, still venerated an elder tree, which, he said, marked the site of Gold smith's grave. This elder tree seems to have stood a few feet south of the present stone, near the old vestry. Westminster Gazette. The Charming Woman. Of all the women born into an ma grateful and unappreclatlve world none can compare to the really caarmlag one. We may admire the beauty and gaze In awe at the bluestocking, hug the "dear things of our acquaintance" and thump the "good sort" on the back, but la the presenceof a person ality which "charms" us we remain in speechless and almost breathless fascination. Truly of every such woman can it be said which was said by St Simon of oae af the most fas cinating women of his time, that she walks "like a goddess oa the clouds.' -4Inconnue. Girls have More Liberty. One idea in the mind of girls of to day is that parents should not Inter fere with their goings and comings. Why it has come about Is somewhat of a question, for there. Is really no less obligation on the part of parents to know a daughter's associates and the places she goes than there was on mothers concerning themselves a gen eratlon ago. A perfectly natural fact is that normal young people crave amusement, and If this Is not provided at home It will assuredly be sought elsewhere. This Is true of the girl who has nothing to do, as wen as for her friend who has to work all day, and both win turn to recreation away from home if none is to be found there.

The Two Davli A number of years ago there were two men in the employ of the Santa Fe who were named Davis. One was James A. Davis, who waa then la charge of the railroad's Industrial de partment The other Davis waa in charge of the railroad's refrigerator line. James Davis was a "hot air" artist whom the company always se lected to "Jolly" state legislatures. The other Davis was also a geaial feUow, but owing to the fact that he had charge of the Iced goods which went over the road and -could aot hold a candle to James A. when it came to talking things out of people, he acquired the reputatloa of betas somewhat chilly. One day the president pushed the office boy's beU button and the young autocrat hastily pat hi aa appearance. "Boy," said the president, "tell Mr. Davis that I would nke ta sea him right away."

The home of the stork Is Wonad and Denmark, but many birds of this variety are found ia Germany and ia Friesland.
