New sphere for Wo'Nen.

While young women are looking over
the fields for lines of activity allowable
for them to follow for subsistence, it
probably does not occur to them that
membership in fire companies can come
in their range. A recent London paper

gone to Paris to give instructions to
French women as to service they can
render at fires. 1t is not very fully in

STEALING FREE RIDES,
How Many Chicagoans Beat the Conduo-
tors of Street Cars.


1t may seem hard to believe it. but
there are, nevertheless, people who are
not above riding down on street-car
gratis, on the strength of a piece of
money too big for the conductor to
change. 1t is very common practice,
am told, and one easy enough to carry
oHt If backed up by sufficient amount
OF allied hard cheek and injured inno-
cence. The conductor of an Indiana
other morning, where sat on the rear
seat and asked me in pitiful accents if I
had any change; "for," said he, ''every
son of a gun north of Twenty
street has come to me with S. bill. +"
l happened to have change for the bill
of just that denomination and gave it 70
the conductor, who paid it to his last
patron in triumph and smiled grimly at
the transparent look of dismay that
came over the latter's features when
he found his greenback could be
negotiated. Ordinarily, the conductors
carry plenty of change, but after
changing two or three big bills
early in the trip are very apt to
run short. If they can't give change,
the passenger who tenders the green
back must. of course, be allowed to ride
free, as he can hardly be put off after he
has produced money enough to pay his
fare. Occasionally some short
sighted individual attempts to play the
game on the same conductor two morn
ings in succession, in which case he is
very promptly instructed to furnish a
nickel or get off the car. One anecdote
told me on the subject related to an eld-
erly female, who for several weeks rode
down town without finding conductor
able to change $40 gold piece. She
struck one of her early victims for the
second time one morning, however, and
he pocketed the coin and told her she
would have to wait for change till he got
to the office. The lady stormed and
raved (for that took her several miles
out of her way), but to no purposes and
when she did get her S19.95 it was all in
quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. 1t
is thought that henceforward she will
be willing to pay her fare.-Chicago

a Girls Toilet Articles.

A sensible girl will not keep a lot Of
cosmetics and drugs ON her toilet
table, but there are few articles she
should always have in convenient
place. She should have an array of
glass-stopped bottles containing alco-
hol, alum. camphor. borax, ammonia
and glycerine or vaseline. A little
camphor and water may be used as a
wash for the mouth and throat if the
breath is not sweet. Powdered alum
applied to a fever sore will prevent it
from becoming very unsightlv and
noticeable. Insect stings or eruptions
on the skin are removed by alcohol.
A few grains of alum in tepid water
will relieve people whose hands per-
spire freely, rendering them unpleas-
antly moist. A few drops of sulphuric
acid in the water are also beneficial
for this purpose, and are also desirable
for those whose feet perspire freely.
We should always recommend care in
the use of scented soap; in many cases
the perfume is simply disguise for
poor quality. A good glycerine or
honey soap is always preferable. OF
course, one may rely on scented soap
from a high-class manufacturer. but il
costs more than it is worth. In addition
to the soap for bathing, white CASTLE
should be kept for washing the hair.
Occasionally, little borax or ammo
MIA may be used for this purpose, but il
is usually too harsh in it's effects. -

FISHING WITH A RIFLE.
Exciting Sport Shooting the Wary ssa
Otter In TIE PacIfic.

Otter In TIE Pacific.
Surf shooting Is practiced In Oregon
and Washington, but chiefly in the vi
cinity OF and to the north OF Gray's
Harbor. Formerly all the shooting
was done from the beach, or from
the bluffs. but as the otter became
scarcer, increasingly wary, and SO
more difficult TO obtain, other methods
had to be adopted.
The sea otter shooters OF this coast
devised the plan Of building scaffolds
in the water out beyond the surf from
which to shoot. At the lowest tides
in the spring they plant firmly in the
sand three or four long poles 80 that
they shall form the angles Of triangle
or OF square. These are braced by
means OF stats nailed from one to the
other which also form a ladd err by
which to ascend, and at the top OF the
poles platform is built with sides and
roof. forming a sufficiently comfort
able house, forty feet above the waters
surface. These shooting scaffolds. or
| as they are called locally, ''derrichs,' -
give the otter shooter great advantage.
In distance he gains four to five hun
dred feet, while the elevation above
the water greatly extends both his
range OF view and that of his rifle. In
fair weather the shooter goes to his
derrick before daylight in the morn
ing and returns at night to the shore,

stood that the head of the sea otter
the only part that is seen above the
water-is a very small mark, certainly
not more than three or four inches in
diameter, and yet it is said these
shooters not unfrequently kill at a
distance of one thousand yards. Most
Of their shots are made at two hundred
yards and over. They use heavy
Sharp's rifles, fitted with telescope
sights, and shoot always from rest.
When the sea otter is killed it sinks
at once, and it may be several days OF
a week before it rises to the surface
and is brought by wind and current
into shore. The hunters employ
Indians to patrol the beach and secure
the dead animals, and in occasional in
stances where the otter does not sink
dogs are employed to bring it to land
Owing to its exclusively marine habits
and its great wariness. we may assume
that it will be many years before the
last sea otter shall have been killed
but it must always be very rare ami
