A pargi 11 fishermen who were our darkness had fallen had an extraordinary experience.

The men were trawling the sandy and muddy faresaare between the ruins of Sandowa Castle and Sand wich Bay, a favourite feeding ground for Art fish. It was quite dark. The net was an exceptional ly long one. The seaward end was made fast to the stern of the boat in which eat William and Mathew Hoile quietly roping.

The Director of the Bureau of Statistics has made public the re sults of the investigations made into the circumstances of the fami lies of salaried mer and labourers According to him, 7,838 families of salaried men and labourers, which were selected from many such families in nineteen different pre fectures, started entries in their family account-beeks in September last year at the request of the Bureau, and most of them are still keeping up the practice.. The te sults thus obtained are now being enrefully compiled by the authori. ties of the Bureau. What the The shore end of the trawi was Director has just made public are held and carried along the water's the figures in regard to the house edge by Edward O'Bree.

As regards the families of labour ers, the average income is soms Y,94, of which some Y.56, or 91 per cent. embodies the earnings of the family, while the income from other sources is about Y.8 or 9 per cent. Thus, it will be seen that the per- centage of the earnings is higher in the case of the families of labourers than those of salaried men.
