Lobster Hunts in New England.

During the summer months seaside
visitors on our New England coast organ

very pleasant affairs. Two boats carry
party OF five or six to the lobster grounds

baskets, large boiler is brought along
On some prominent rock which overlooks
the lobster grounds, they build a fire, and
securely fasten the boiler in some crevice
just over the flame. Clear spring water is
poured into the boiler. which soon begins
to sputter and hiss as the fire burns up
brightly. When "A dozen or more Holsters
have been caught, they are brought to the
rock and dumped into the boiling water
There is brief struggle for life, scratch
ing noise in the boiler, and then all is quiet
again.
Some crackers and cheese are meanwhile
produced and a circle. is formed around
the fire and the boiling Holsters. The light
OF the moon casts pale weird shadows on
the dark rocks, while the sea waves sing
and dance monotonously below. When
the cover of the boiler Is finally removed

Typewriters in some of the down town
Offices are learning trick of trade that
promises to fill many spare moment with
profit. The typewriting business is vari-
able one. There are many hours in il that
are wholly idle, when time hangs On
busy days, on the other hand, callers are
frequently turned away, so great is the
rush of business. II happens in the ma
jority of cases that men are not in so much
of a hurry for typewriter copy as they are
to dictate what they have in mind and be
rid of il. They can wait few hours or a
day or more for the copy when once it is
practically disposed of by dictat:on. Here
in lies the Office of the phonoGraph. A
caller, finding the typewriter occupied, can
step into a corner and talk ut phono-
graph what he wants to say.
The operator takes ont the sheet and lays
il away for leisure moment When that
arrives the photograph repeats the dicta-
ton at speed easily regulated The de
vice saves time to the one debating, for
the phonograph will take speech as fast As
il can he uttered. 1t serves also to give
the typewriters occupation in hours that
would be otherwise idle, and no business
need now toe turned away. Those who are
employing the device find that it works
very well.-New York Times.

Held on to a Good Thing.

Up on Kankakee, close by the waters edge,
stands a tree on which u "blazed" with a
hunting knife the letter c. This is in
commemoration of an adventure that
Judge Cox, of the criminal court, had
there not so many, many years ago. The
Judge and some friends were up there fish
ing. One evening when they were out III
separate boats storm came up. 1t was
quite storm, too, even for larger stream
than the muddy Kankakee. The river was
whipped into foam and great waves rolled.
The frail little boats tossed and tumbled,
and gave every evidence of capsiZing, for
they were not built to ride such heavy seas.
The craft in which Judge Cox was seated
was particularly frisky, and the judge be-
came pale as he thought of n watery grave
awaiting him.
Like a skillful mariner, however, he
made for the shore and ran his boat against
tree. Carefully he crawled to the bow,
and raising to his feet, threw his arms
around the tree and hung on for dear
life. The storm went down as suddenly as
, it came us. but still the judge clasped the
tree in fond embrace. The waters became
still, but the judge did not let go the tree.
One of his companions noticing him, ex-
| claimed:
why don't you let so. Judge, The
| storm is over"
That's all right" responded the judge.

That is why this particular tree was

To go into exact details the engine, boiler,

ingly small as to only occupy space seven
siXteeuths of an inch in diameter, or about

high, yet it contained las distinct parts,
nearly all of which were silver and gold.

In the Observation-Disclosures, at Char
lottenburg lives Frau P, who wears
the breeks," as the saying is. Last bank
holiday she was determined TO show her
husband who was master, and refused to
let him have his Sunday clothes, Marvel
Gus to relate, the henpecked husband this
time put his back up, and arming himself
with a Ratchet, he threatened to smash in
the door of the wardrobe if she didn't hand
him out his toys
The woman raised a shout If "Murder!'
and walked out of the house saying, Pm
off to fetch the police and have you taken
up, you horrid scamp!''
A neighbor who had overheard the quar-
rel went to his telephone and communicate
ed the whole affair 20 the authorities.
Meantime the woman found her way to
the nearest police station and eXcitedly
began her report with the words, 81 am
Frau P and''- when she was inter-
rupted by the officer on duty, who said,
And won't let your husband have his
Sunday Clothes" And he went on to re-
late the whole proceedings in detail, which
made such an impression on the awe struck
woman that she walked out of the Office,
saying: "Fll give in. These police fellows
know everything. I'll be jiggered il ever
have anything to do with them again"
Whereupon the police sergeant tele-
phoned to the neighbor to inform the hus-
band that his wife had come round to bet
ter sentiments
When she returned home her husband
met her with the words:
well, so you have been telling the SER
geant that you would give in this time, ell? ''
That finished her completely. Later on
in the day the couple were seen promenade
ing in the Gruuewald in their Sunday best.
