New York Press.
Only a woman blessed with a clear
olive complexion, superimposed on a
rich xed, and a dark, lustrous eye, like
Mrs. Phil Lydig, would dare to present
the bold contrast she does in carrying
a peacock feather fan. A woman of
fair complexion would look positively
palid if she dared bring the iridescent
colors in contrast with her face, but
the former Mrs. Stokes can do it safely
and to advantage. He collection of
fans by the way is one of the most
varied and costly in New York, and
they are of historical as well as intrin
eic value. Indeed^ she has two curio
i cabinets set aside tor them alone. There
1 she exhibits tiny bespangled affairs of
the empire period so email that they
-j are called fans only by comtesy oth
ti ers of ostrich plumes, with newel-laden
sticks^ Spanish fans, painted with
soenes from the arena or bedecked by
I dark-eyed senoritas who smile from lat
ticed windows on the minstrels who
are caroling their lays. This collec
tion, as it stands, would take hours to
look thru, and now that Mrs. Lydig's
friends have learned of her weakness
in this direction, they are sending her
so many new treasures that it is likely
a third cabinet will be called into

Christiania, Norway, March 31.The
winter fisheries, and especially the cod
fisheries, have for generations been of
the greatest importance to Norway. I
later years they have not come up to
the mark, however, and this season will
hardly reach the average. The weather,
so long unfavorable, has improved of
late, the catch of the last week has
been very satisfactory, and the pros
pects are favorable. Tn catch of last
we ek was 7,000,000 cod.
The total catch up to date is about
seventeen and three-quarter millions,
including the Pinmarken winter fish
eries. This is about 2,000,000 more than
last year, but 3,000,000 less than in
1902. About 30,000,000 is considered a
fair average at the end of March, and
there is much to be made up before
that average is reached, so much in
deed, that it may be taken for granted
that it cannot be done.
According to official statistics 14,164
hectoliters of steamed fish oil have
been produced, while 4,146 hectoliters
V$SK Sv r.
liver havr been set aside for inferior
grades of oil. Of roe there has been
produced 25.163 hectoliters. This by
product of the cod is gaining in impor
tance every season, as the French sar
dines fisheries seem to be entirely de
pendent on the Bupply of cod roe as the
best bait. The French are getting so
anxious about cod roe that they send
representatives to the Lofoten districts
and purchase it direct from the fisher
men.
The catch in Lofoten was 4,000,000
cod last week, a result surprisingly
good.
The prices now paid in Lofoten are
$6 to $8 per 100 fish, and $7 to $9 per
hectoliter liver. ^.Thej^ have beeng^pro
"duWd 6%*83* hectoliter steamed.medical
oil 376 lastvear, and of roe
11,150 hectoliters against 3,050 hecto
liters last year.
The Finmarken fisheries may now be
considered as ended, and the result ia
about 800,000 fish. Last year the catch
was about 1,000,000. The codfisheries
will, however, contirmed for a month
or two longer, and the final result may
be even better than now expected,

The prospects for professional people

In Sussex, England, there is a town
called Pagham or Pagehatn, and the
first to bear the name Page is said to
have been that Hugo Pagham who
was sent by Edward, i a 1257, with dis
patches to the King of Spain. Perhaps
because he was a messenger of the
king he was called Page, or the name
was evolved from that of the town.m
which he lived, and this, in turn, w$s_
a name derived from the Latin pagus,
a village, or the country. Or it may
be easier to start with the Greek word
pais, meaning boy. Boys of noble birth,
In, personal attendance upon their Sov
ereigns, became known as pages, and
perhaps one assumed that as his sur
name. Paige and Pages are forms of
the name, and its diminutives are

The location known as Eosewell, in
Gloucester county, Virginia, was set
tied by Colonel Page's son, Matthew,
about 1700. The present Kosewelbman
sion was built about 1725 by Matthew's
son, Mann Page, who inherited a- vast
landed estate. For many years Rose
well was the largest and most costly
house in the old dominion. The marble
casements were imported, the polished.
mahogany carved by hand, and the ap
pointments of almost regal Bplendor.
The place remained in the Page family
until 1838. Tradition has it that TJhom
as Jefferson drafted the declaration, of
independence at Bosewell before going
to Philadelphia at any rate, he was a
friend of Governor John Page.

ft made an emergency call for 122 pas
senger coaches, aWd as a consequence
the remarkable sight was witnessed of
wo trains, of forty empty coaches each,
eastward bound, to receive the unmi

immigrants are coming in. So far* this
spTing a great many more have come
from the states than last year. I is
no uncommon thing for the Sop train to*
arrive at Portal, AssMboia, from*ftlin
neapolis, with from eleven to thirteen
coaches, and sometimes with as many as
400 or 500 Americans on beard, bound
for new homes in western Canada.. The

ports that its settlers', business.into
western Canada is considerably larger
this year than last.
Another excellent sign of the pros
perity of western Canada is to be tmd
in the land business, which was a little
dull a year ago. Land men now report
the briskest business they have ever
had. One interesting feature of the
land business is that a large part of the
sales is made up of purchases o ad
joining lands by farmers who have re-
centlyVttled here. Their first year 's
experience with farming in western
Canada has been so satisfactory that
they are all eager to get as much land
as possible.
