MANS HANDlWORK.

The oyster industry has practically
passed from the hands Of the fishermen in
to those Of the oysterplanter. Sixty per
cent of the annual supply is now derived
from planted beds.
Skirt dancing has spread into the girls
colleges. These higherto august institu-
tions that have permitted only the squarest
of square dances are countenancing casta-
nets, breakdowns and fandangoes. At the
gala day at Wellesley, the freshman class
Of girls, dressed as sailor lads, boarded a

glass it would seem q simple matter to
make it out of wood. This is now done
by boiling strips Of fine grained timber,
crushing them between rolls, carding the
filaments into parallel lines, as with ordi-
nary textile material, and spinning them
into threads, from which the cloth can be
woven in the usual way.
The new spectroscope without lens
consists of paper tube with two-and-

parallel tube at one end, and prism at
the other, the length Of the tube being such

SECRET MARRIAGES.

A. a6eernment Practice Indirectly Re-
sponsible for Them in Washington.
Not infrequently lead pencil in
scription across an entry in the marri-
age license books in the Office of the
District Court reads: Please do not
use this" At first squint such a re-
quest has about it an air of mystery
which would naturally lead the news
gatherer to investigate. But after q
while he understands the whole thing
at glance.
Among the many thousand men and
women employed in one capacity or
another by the many departments OF
the government are formed acquaint-
anceships which ultimately find COM
plete satisfaction only at the altar, ex-
plains the Washington Post. The
government has confidential agent
who disregards all civil service rules.
never asks for a salary, and never ex-
poets pension. He is better ac-
quainted with employees everywhere
than any head of a department, and he
is responsible for much of the trouble
which arises now and then, though he
does everything in good part. II it
was not for this miserable little rascal.
She might forever copy many miles of
manifold. dandle the typewriter, or
manipulate the counting machine, and
he might forever know nothing of the
real joys of life beyond drawing his
salary and drinking soft drinks at
night in a drug store. But the con-
fidential agent, Cupid. intervenes, and
the first thing heknows he is confront.
ing Clerk Meigs, who as he hands him
the license, says: II congratulate
you. have been married myself"
Then comes the rub. The large
number of employees results in govern
ment being spelled with a very large
G in Washington. The government is
supposed to be run on business princi-
pies, and as marriage, by long CUSTOM
which has no excuse in reason, fire.
Quently incapacitates one of the parties
from serving the government longer
the couple, who are generally not we'll
off in the worlds goods. prefer to keep
their marriage secret from the gov
eminent, SO that their combined salar-
les may be used in giving them a COM
Portable home. Again the groom rea-
sons: 1.-The chief will say, Here is q
young man who is well enough off to
marry. reckon when the time comes
to raise salaries we will have to add to
the The salary g him who is not we'll
enough off 70 marry"
Hence the desire for secrecy. This
is only one of the terrors which sur
round the marriage of government
employees, but it is curious common
tary on the growth of oficialism in
this country.

Taking Fish by Electricity.

There is no longer any need of the
fairy tales told by amateur fishermen"
said an electrical expert last night
Wizard Edison has turned out a
fish hook, or rather hook for all sorts
of fish, from tho cod down to the min
now, that will stun the fish the mo-
ment it touches the hook. If a man
gets bite at all he is sure of his fish.
The trouble with the amateur fish
erman is that he cannot land his cap
ture, but with this new electrical de-
vice he will have no trouble in catch
ing all the fish he wants if they are
biting York Telegram.

Too Strict.

In Germany the police regulations
are very strict and any violation OF
them is promptly punished. The peo-
pie have a holy terror of the law.
Two gentlemen happened to meet in
Berlin and the following conversation
took place:
Have You heard the dreadful news
about Miller?"
mo; what is it?"
HE was in boat in the river. He
fell overheard and was drowned, The
water was too deep"
Didn't he know how to swim?"
"Swim? Don't you know that all
persons are forbidden by the police to
swim in the river?"-Texas Siftings.

A Valuable Rats Nest.

A Cincinnati lady has rats nest
valued at 1926. The nest was COM
posed of bank bills to that amount,
which the rodents had torn into small
fragments. She was advised to make
an affidavit to the fact and forward it,
together with her very valuable rat
domicile, to the treasury department
at Washington.

Awkward Enough.

Brobson-You look all broken up,
old man. What's the matter?
Craik-I called on Miss Pruyn the
other night and no sooner had l en-
tered the parlor than her mother ap-
peared and demanded to know my in
tentions.
Brobson = That must have been
rather embarrassing.
Craik-Yes, but that was not the
worst. Just as the old lady finished
speaking Miss Pruyn shouted down the
stairs: Mamma, mamma, he isn't
the one!''-New York Sun.

The Clam and the Mouse.

When a New Bedford, Mass, grocer
entered his store the other morning he
heard noise behind the counter, and
upon Investigation found that clam
had seized mouse by one leg, aad the

put the curiosity in the window, but,
on returning after fifteen minutes abb
sence, found the clam had allowed the
mouse to escape.
