How easy it is to confound ee that 
differ; masterfulness and wilfufness are 
mistaken for courage and _ resoluteness, 
caution and considerateness for timidity, 
obstinacy for firmness, patience for in- 
sensibility, rudeness and incivility for 
candor and outspokenness; the dis- 
tinction may be often a slight one, as the 
two may be only different manifestations 
or degrees of the same natural trait; as 
words quite unlike in meaning as at pres- 
ent used may be of the same derivation, 
like human and humane, single and 
singular, antic and antique, and su on to 
the end of the list.

A healthy imagination is something of 
unspeakable value; a morbid imagination 
is to be dreaded as a disease, as it really 
is; and yet a vast amount of present-day 
fiction is the product of the latter, and 
has a remarkable faculty of communicat- 
ing its bacilli and extending its virus; this 
is something for parents and teachers to 
think of. 
Books that require no thought and 
that suggest none, except of a worthless 
kind, are a mere means of dissipation, 
and like other intoxicants and stimulants 
only result in weakness whatever fleeting 
pleasure they may give. 
Torch Fishing now Prohibited. 
Gov. Draper last week signed the bill 
to prohibit torching for herring along the 
North Shore. ‘The bill has been changed 
considerably from the form in which it 
was submitted by the petitioners and the 
town of Danvers has been included in 
its provisions. As it is signed by the 
governor it reads as follows: 
Section |. It shall be unlawful for 
any person to display torches or other 
light, designed or used for the purpose 
of taking herring or other fish, in Nahant 
bay, Beverly harbor, Salem bay or in the 
vicinity or in any inlet therein, or in any 
waters westerly and northwesterly of a: 
line drawn from East Point, Nahant, to 
Egg Rock, to Ram island, to Tinker’s 
island, to Lowell island, to Baker’s 
island, to the eastern end of Great Mis- 
ery island then to the southern point f 
Gale’s Head, Manchester, including 
Manchester harbor and Bass river, Bev- 
erly, and its tributaries; provided, how- 
ever, that the boards’ of health ofthe 
cities of Beverly and Salem and of the 
towns of Danvers, Manchester and 
Marblehead may grant permits for the 
display of torches or other lights for the 
purpose aforesaid, within the limits of 
Office Stationery. 
‘prite it on a neatly printed letter head; that 
their respective cities or towns during the 
months of October to April, inclusive, 
of any year, with such restrictions as in 
their judgment will prevent the same 
from constituting a nuisance; and they 
may at any time revoke any such permit. 
Section 2. Whoever violates any pro- 
vision of this act shall, for a first offence, 
be punished by a fine of not less than $50 
nor more than $200, or by imprisonment 
for not less than six months nor more 
than 12 months, or by both such fine and 
imprisonment; and fora second offence, 
by both such fine and imprisonment. 
‘The governor some time ago signed a 
similar bill applying to Lynn harbor and 
the Saugus river.
