HOW THE PROFESSIONALS LOCATt A
“BITING” GROUND.
The Secret of Soeeeaafol Floats* Off

OcmmS *Fot« For Fat are Cateheo

“We ought to be nearly over it now,
Wilt Stand by to let go when I sing
out Steady, haw; steady! Lei her rip.
Nowl Now I Bully boy I Right over the
middle of it”
That is how the profewriqpal fisher
man along the Jersey coast finds his fa
vorite “biting" ground. The latter may
be -90 or more fathoms deep, and a
dozen or more miles offshore; but
with the aid of such landmarks as trees,
steeples and beach cottages, lying in
various directions along the strand,
these crack surfmen seldom make a mis
take in “picking up” the ground sought
offshore. It’s no easy job this finding
of some particularly good fishing ground
that has no mark on tl|e chart and Is
only fixed in the mind of fishermen by
study of distances from the shore.
It is a well known fact that fish must
be sought. They will not, as a rule,
come to the fisherman, be the latter
professional or amateur. Sea fish, as
well as lake fish, like rooky bottom, and
it is over thiskiud of bottom that the
‘ best catches are made. It Is nd easy task
to locate a rocky bed aldng the Jersey
coast, and even with ranges or land
marks on® is not always certain to find
it on another day’s fishing trip. The.
ranges are manipulated thia way: - W ™
In an ordinary surfboat, such as the
majority of the Jersey fishermen use,
the beach lipa that looks a»-whlte and
extensive close inshore resembles a
white thread at a distance of, say, 15
miles from the land. When the fisher
men discover a new ground at or about
that distance offshore, they generally
pick three marks on land—one north,
one south and the third directly to the
westward. By bringing these three
marks to a convergence the happy hunt
ing ground is located.
As a rule these fishermen are a bit
selfish when new grounds are discover
ed. They conceal the fact as long ra
possible fromone another, for business
reasons principally, for there is a ripe
competition among these beach comb
ers, and it is only by pliffing possum
and keepings a weather*eye open that
one learns what his rival sometimes
knows.
One day last season a reporter was in
one of these surf boats 18 miles offshore
from Barnegak The fisherman in charge
of the tiny craft Was heading for a rocky
bottom as far offshore as he dared to go
without compass and provisions. When
within A mile or to of the ground, an
other fisherman and his helper were
seen at anchor. They were hauling up
whacking big bass as fast aa they oould
throw out, and altogether they seemed
to be having a glorious time. After the
two boats had separated sufficiently to
permit a private conversation the pro
fessional in charge of the first mention
ed craft said to his shipmate:
“Did you mark It?”
“Yes,’’ answered the other. “The
pier’s to the westward, the life saving
station is to the northward and the
cottage of that old crank is to the south
ward.”
"That'* the way I made it,” replied
the first speaker. All this seemed like
so much Greek to one of the amateurs
in the boat who began to ask questions.
“That’s a new ground* v said the fish
erman. “We didn’t know that it exist
ed. Yes, they are catching lota of fish.
Why don’t Igo back and try* it? Well,
I do not like to imitate people—at least
Ido not care to* let them see me copy
them. I’ll try it seme other day. ’’
It may hare been professional pride
or etiquette, this sharp bit of practice,
but in other walks of life it would be
called a trick of the trade. It’s done all
along the beach. Here’s another trick
of. tbe trade that a surfman at Belmar
taught this landluhberly reporter.
There’s a schooner that takes city folk
from Asbury Park offshore to fiatb She
was anchored ten miles offshore this
particular morning over a newly found
ground, and there were half a doaen or
more surf boats clustered about her. The
biting was first class, but presently one
of tbe big fishing steamboats from the
Battery was sighted heading down the
beach. There was gn interchange of
conversation on the part of the profes
sional fishermen, but they suddenly
pulled up anchors as if one man and
began rowing around.
The schooner weighed her bower also
and under her headsaila anti mainsail
reached offshore. Naturally the ama
teurs wanted to know why a shift
should ho made, especially as the strikes
were unusually lively. “That’s the Hal
Oorster coming down," said one of the
fishermen in a halt whisper, as if those
on the steamboat oould hear him, al
though she was fully two miles array.
“We have a good ground here, and wo
don’t want her pilots to find tbe ranges.
She’ll kaepto the southward, and we’ll
circle around until she gets out of the
way. That's how we save oar bacon. ”
And they did eave it too. The steam
boat kept to the southward tor some lit
tle distance and finally, being unable
to get the ranges or whatever ground
her pilots bad in view, came about
again and stood to tbe northward, final
ly anchoring off Long Branch. She had
no sooner done so when the fishing
schooner and surfboats, after • mental
and ocular struggle with ranges, were
back in their original positions, with
I their amateurs fishing like mischief.—

of both man and women consists of * --n
" nl tod hrKtrl bull fl*
nose and mouth, a targe, heavy taco and
blue eyes. This type is universal, but the
dress in every island is slightly different.
Os course the true Canary costumes are
aen on these peasant*, for the higher
•lasses are entirely Spanish and European.
They hare no native clothes, such as tbs
Phlllpptans have; hence ths material far
their clothing Is imoorted from Eunmo.
and the women make up the garments m
their houses However, hate and shoes
are made in tbe Canaries.
Strange to say, the men, women and
children are accustomed to walk barefoot
over the thorny ptanta, the plains filled
with spiny cacti and the burning rooks of
lava, which in a few hours will burn and
wear out the stoutest shoes. Both men
and women always wear their shoes in the
towns, but if you meet them on the road
the men are invariably carrying their
shoes at the and of a stick, white the
women carry theirs on their beads.
The women of Tenerife weara skirt and
apron of cotton, a well fitting bodice, or
namented with largo sleeves, and a flobu
which ends in points both front and be
hind. The head is covered with the great
est care. A silk handkrnohtef to folded
around the chin, and then a targe woolen
shawl is wrapped around the entire bead
and falls down below tbe waist behind.
Above this is placed a small straw hat
with a low crown, saucer shaped, on
which the bundle, jar or load of fagots is
placed.
INotwithstanding their feminine attire,
the women of Grand Canary are entirely
masculine In appearance. Their hair U
short, the mustache which ornaments their
upper lip is luxuriant, they wear a man’s
hat, and they are p sionately devoted to
smoking cigars. The women of the Grand
Canary are not sirens according to Ameri
can ideas. Neither are they as polite as
they are generous, for, although they will
give a stranger a drink of water, when he
has lifted the jug to his mouth they will
often throw an unexpected shower over
his head and shoulders as a practical joke.
I .In the island of Palma tbe women go
about almost naked, yet occasionally they
dress with their heads and necks covered
with a kerchief and surmounted by a curi
ous hat.
■ The woman’s costume in Lanzarote con
sists of a short striped cotton skirt, sleeves
to the elbow, a bodice laced in front and a
white cap folded around the head and
shoulders, surmounted by a straw hat of
£ trimmed with flowers. They make
men’s clothes, which are quite gay in
this island, consisting of trousers to the
knee, tied with bright ribbons or garters,
a sleeveless jacket, a sash belting in the
shirt and a montera or cap, generally of
bide, embroidered with yellow, green or
red, and displaying a knot of ribbons a*
the side. The natives of Lanzarote are
content with very little. They drink wa
ter and live on goflo, tbe native barley
bread, dried fish, potatoes and Barbary
figs.
Many Inhabitants of the Canaries still
live in grottoes. In the Grand Canary, for
example, there is an entire village of trog
lodytes—La Talaya. The ordinary house
is of stoqe, with a terraced roof rendered
impervious to wafer- The furniture is
very simple. A bed with its straw mat
tressia the chief object in the room, and
the rest consists of a chest to hold tbe
clothing, a mat on the floor, a jug for wa
ter, a dish for the grain, a little hand mill,
a kind of etagere to hold some highly
prized plates of porcelain ornamented with
gaudy flowers—for decoration and not use
—and a few wooden chain.
At mealtime the entire family sits on
the mat around a targe wooden bowl or
earthenware platter, and all dip their fin
gers and rude spoons and forks in at plea
sure. The food Is generally goflo, dried
fish, figs, etc., as in the other islands. In
the evening the women boil some herbs,
without any butter or grease, and this
bouillon is used to knead the broad, or
goflo, Instead of water. They also eat in
large quantities a kind of thistle which
has flowers as targe as artichokes. Water
is the universal beverage^—New York

“Blind Tom’* as Ka Is Today.
“The name Thomas Wiggins means
nothing to the majority of readers,” writes
John J. a’ Becket ,in The Ladies* Home
Journal, “but Thomas Wiggins is 'Blind
Tom,* a name familiar to hundreds of
thousands in this country and abroad
who have heard the piano played by this
wonderful negro. The impression that he
is dead is a pretty general one. As a mat
ter of fact, Blind Tom has never been ill a
day in his Ufa On the banks of the
Shrewsbury river, in a domain of over 900
acres of woodland, stands a picturesque
SJi story wooden house with a broad ver
anda. Here Blind Tom is at home.
“His hands are not at all‘piano hands.'
In place of the slender, long fingered
hands which one so often sees In great
pianists, Tom’s bands are small and
plump, with the thumbs and tapering fin
gers quite short.
“The strongest impression 1 bore away
was that of the sweet, contented life the
poor, blind negro is leading. There was
pathos in it. I had expected to find h won
der at the piano, and I did, for his un
taught mastery at the Instrument is mar
velous. From the time when the Bethune
family left the dinner table to see who
could be playing on the piano and discov
ered the sightless pickaninny of 4 years
perched on the stool, his little hands pluck
ing uncanny melody from tbe keyboard—
from that time until now he htw had an
unwavering devotion to tbe instrument
whose music is his Ufa”
