The Secret of Soeeeaafol Floats* Off the Mew Jerwey Co*ot—Markta* the OcmmS *Fot« For Fat are Cateheo Do4*ia* Rival*. • “Got tbe range, Will?” “Looks li|ro it, Si," “Seethe walnut tree on the hllir' /“Yes; stands about west-northwest” “And the church floepie sou-sou wsrt?” J i*j i- . “To the dot. No mistake about that ” “How heads Ladomua’ cottage?” “Aboqt fine weah “ ■ t “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.— New York Mail and Express. ‘ p.| vAiNAiii I TrCtv* | —. I la Truth Tfcev Are Mot BwrtlfU, Mm We 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 Telegram. “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” Bx-Mlntoter Xteafey.
