Along the coast of Normandy, In France, dogs are sometimes employed In fishing by a few of the elder flsher women. One of the latter, armed with a basket on her left shoulder and on the other a pickax with a very long handle, closely followed by her dog. wanders along the shore until she comes to a place where the sand runs for a considerable distance into the body of tlie rocks. Here the surface is usually broken by a number of little mounds at low water, tut seeing these the dog becomes excited and runs back and forth, smelling of the little hillocks. In a moment be will begin to scratch and whine like a terrier on wgtell at a rat hole. On hearing this the woman rushes toward the animal, brandishing her pickax. On reaching the spot she looks, which way the hole runs and then liegins tearing up the sand with her implement. After half a dozen vigorous strokes out tumbles a conger ell. which Is quickly picked up and flung with great force on the hard ■and. stunning the creature, after which It ts put into the basket and the Ashing resumed.—Boston Post. A Novel Claim. A claim once made on the explorer Cameron In the neighborhood of Ga boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work ings of the native African's mind, gome of Cameron's possessions proved unduly attractive to a native, and he determined on transferring the owner ship to himself. He accordingly paid another native $200 to procure for him the coveted goods. The assistant took the money and did his beat to earn If, but Mr. Camerou had perversely lock ed up the very articles that the 1 d low’s employer had set hla heart upm. The man could not carry out hia bar gain, and neither did he feel that ne could part with the money. Therefore he ran off with It. What more logical than that the man who was the loser by $200 should expect the explorer to make the loss good? This he assuredly did expect. He went to Mr. Cameron and told him the story, demanding in (he first place the $200 which ha (Cameron) by locking up bis goods bad compelled the complainant to loae and, secondly, the actual price of the goods themselves, which' but for these arbi trary measures would now have been In his possession It is not stated that hla expectations were real lied. lb. *oy»l *»•■«» »“d <»• ' Sudden changes of weather are es pecially trying, and probably to more so than to the scrofulous and consump tive The progress of scrofula during a normal October is commonly great.
