When Scot Meets Scot. The following .Scotch tale Is one of Ri esident Wilson's favorites : A Si on b- j man was strolling through the marki t place In Glasgow one day and close nt his heels followed his fa it hflil collie. Attracted by a fine display of -hell nnd other fish, the Scot s opped to admire, perhaps to purchase. The dog stood by, gently wagging its tail, while ils master engaged the fishmonger In con versa t ion. Unfortunately for the holistic, Its tail dropped for a inomelit over a big basketful of tine, live lobsters. Instantly one of Hie largest lobsters snapped its claws on the tail, and Hie surprised collie dashed otT through the market, yelping with pain, while the lobster hung on grimly, though dashed violently from side to side. The fishmonger for a moment was speechless with indignation; then, turning to his prospective customer, he bawled: “Mon! mon! whustle to ycr dog. whustle to yen dog I" "Hoot, mon." returned the other complacently, "whustle to yer lobster!" Her Eyes to Blame. Some time ngo I had my eyes tested, belladonna being dropped In them to enlarge the pupils. The eye doctor assured me I'd be able to see perfectly provided with a pair of dark glasses. M.t friend, who was with me, said slm wasn’t sn sure about It. <>n leaving the doctor's office we hoarded a crowded car. my friend going to the front mill leaving me to take a vacant seat in the rear. All of a sudden I intild see hardly anything, and in sitting down I sat on a young man's lap I quickly removed to the vacant scat beside hint amid the titters and laughing of a group of college hoys standing In the hack entry. My only relief was In the black glasses I wore, for I knew no one would know me again without ihcui.

Of these the Ostend school D * i most Important, and u niodel e'- J,llshment of the kind. There every facility Is given to boys who h.iv« chosen fishing as thrir trade to acquire all the knowledge they may feed, and to face the hardships of tbelr vocation. Beautiful museums, containing the choicest and rarest species of fish, shells, birds, and Instruments of every description, sej charts and maps, model boats representing every type of vessel, nets, sails, and. tn fact, everything pertaining to the fisherman's craft tirs placed at the young student’s disposal. The course of study at the school lasts three years, during which time the many secrets of the fi-hing trad* are revealed to the youthful Flemings. A peep into some of the : hoo' rooms revea’s the methods of in struction. Here one sees a large n"t spread out on the ground, with a number of boys seated on It, engaged with repairs, while another group of youngsters are being taught an accurate knowledge of the sextan’, and others still are being Inltia!J in’s the mysteries of rope splii Inin another room u rlnss of boys Is studying the rules of the road at sea snd the exact position of the □inn.'' lightships in the North Sea. Thr method of teaching this le -on Iboth simple nnd practical. All that Is required are some reliable sea charts, a few sets of tiny model vessels, and printed directions, with the assistance of which the boys can team In one day as much as a length* Vi.vage to sea could teack them \ gigantic chart represents th3 boitom of the sea, w ith its valleys, roi s», and sand banks, stones, seaweed and shells, and explains the oce;.a'.hidden dangers and mysteries. On tho other hand, all the manoeuvers executed on board a flshlne boat are practiced on dry land: for this purpose a full size mode! lint has been erected in the grounds adjoining tbe school. The future ft .9orman Is likewise taught the rut,hits of nets and the handling of thxu at sea, the cutting, sewing, and rspalrIng of sails, the art of baiting, drying, smoking, and preserving fish, and the use of compass, log. and hoisting eolors. When the pupils have acquired all *h1s useful knowledge they are given an opportunity to show their worth at sea. A training ship Is fitted up with this end In view, and for sevr-i weeks the student crew carries on' all its manoeuvers under tbe din-e-lion of the Indefatigable school pi uclpal. Thus the finishing touch D given to tbelr education. YViten Hi* floating school returns to port t < occupants are considered to be ’ho: oughly fitted for their vocation an . have no difficulty in finding work ThU excellent practical educatin'Is given entirely free, which explains K a great extent why the number of pupils Is steadily Increasing.
