Died for His Whiskers.

This statement may SAVIOR of exag.
geration, but there are men in San
Francisco today who remember all the
facts. Warsaw Was his name-Capt.
Warsaw. Well, Capt. Warsaw had
wonderful whisksrs, and they were
dearer to him than the apple of his eye
than life itself, one might as well say
when one is about it; for he shuff1ed
off this mortal coil sooner than have
them shaved while he was yet in the
flower of his career.
The captain met girl one day-as
captains willard the captain fell in
love with her. Later on he told
her about his passion, and she reoipro-
Gated it.
will you marry me, then?" said the
captain. Life is blank without you. ''
I'd like to. answered the girl, "but,
whereas I love you, cannot attach
myself permanently to q pair of whisk-
ers. Shave them and I am yours.
But I could not think of such q
thing" protested the captain.
WELL, said the maiden, with shrug
of her pretty shoulders, you pays your
money and you takes your choice.
Which is it to be2 Me or the whiskers?'
"Whiskers," murmured tho mariner
with a sigh, and. having withdrawn to
respectful distance, he blew his brains
out.
All! Those were the halcyon days
when whiskers were whiskers.

Sandwich Island Girls.

The ladies attire themselves in the
holoku. The warm, tropical climate
makes loose, flowing gowns necessity.
The young girls wear wreathes of wild
flowers around their brows, and deco
rate their bodies with chaplets of green
leaves. They do not use gold jewelry
but ornament their toilet with the floral
beauty of the tropics. They are fond
of outdoor life and live most of the
time in the groves. They sleep in
hammocks under the trees and have
their dances and feasts in the grottoes
of the forests. They have little huss
in which they dwell during storms. but
are rarely found in the cottages. except
in rainy weather. They build grass.
thatched houses and cover their roofs
with rushes and have wide porches in
front of their doors to keep off the heat
of the sun. They like to be near the sea
so they can bathe in the waters of the
ocean. They become expert surf riders
and can scale the breakers in the Wild
est storms. Like seagulls they ride
the tossing rollers and smile at the
oceans maddest winds. In their little
boats they sail over the blue bosom of
the Pacific and cruise many miles away
from their island shores. Their little
craft cross the channels from island to
island and visit all the ports in the
archipelago. They are not afraid Of
the ocean solitude, but are at home on
its watery wastes and find delight In it's
expanse of blue.-Kate Fields Wash.

SAVED BY GOODNESS.

A Confederate General walks into the
Enemy's Ranks.
Mere GOODNESS will often extrioate one
from q terrible difficulty without the
necessity of recourse to untruthfulness.
This fact was well illustrated In the
early days Of the civil war at Belmont,
Ky, where Confederate force under
Gen. Cheatham was approaching the
Union volunteers, says Youths Com
pdmion.
At that time the uniforms Of the
Federals and Oonfederates were much
alike, and strange mistakes were some
times made. As Gen. Cheathsm was
riding out one day he met a squadron
of cavalry coming down the road to-
wards his position. He had NO sure
means of knowing whether the force
was friendly or hostile. He resolved to
ascertain. Riding up, accompanied
only by an orderly, within few yards
of the troop he asked:
What cavalry is that7"
Illinois cavalry, sir, was the reply.
"Oh, Illinois cavalry" said tho Con.
federate General. "All right; just stay
where you are"
Tho Illinoisans had no doubt that the
officer was Federal. They obeyea
his order. Cheatham looked about a
moment and then rode back to his own
command under the guns Of another
Federal regiment, who, seeing him
come from the cavalry troop, supposed
he was "one of them"

Advised All the Latest Forms In
Teaching.
AT a recent meeting of the College Of
Prcceptors, Mr. Foster Watson read a
remarkably interesting paper on Rich.
ard Winchester, who was head master
of st. Pauls School from 1896 to 1898.
The paper Is printed In the current
number of the Educational Times Mul.
casters ideas were in some respects
far ahead Of those of his time. The
following, according to Mr.. Watson,
were his main educational conten-
TONS"
O Culture and learning for those
who have the wit to profit by 1t,
whether rich or poor; adequate knowl.
edge for those who 60 into trade. (2)
Education for girls and women, as
well as boys and men; higher educa.
tion for girls who have good abilities.
(3 Training colleges for teachers. az
Physical training for all-boys and
girls, teachers and pupils-and this to
be continued in after life. (5) Liberal
education, with disinterested aims for

masters to take the lowest classes. C)
Drawing and music to be taught in
every school, not as extras" but as
essentials.
You will notice." says Mr.. Watson,
that the last-named five aims are only
within the field of discussion even yet;
they are not fats accompls. AL this

Does Freezing Kill Fishi

A number of live perch were secured
and placed In water at the ice manu-
factory. and the water was put in the
process of capitalization. Il requires
about sixty hours to freeze cake Of
ice, and during this time the fish were
watched to ascertain the effect of the
intense GOLD which surrounded them.
They kept alive and continued to swim
in the water until their confines were
SO narrowe' that they had no space in
which t. move, says the New Haven
Register.
The ice in It's freezing process begins
at the outside and freezes towards the
centre, so the space in which the fish
had their liberty was gradually mar
rowed down until the fish were encased
and the water around them froze, pin
ioning them tightly in its folds. Each
fish, when the cake was completed. was
as natural as life. its fns and tail being
spread as they were while in the act Of
swimming. The cake of Ice containing
the fish was placed on exhibition, and
numerous bets, involving several hun
dred dollars. were made a. to the out
come of tho experiment.
The cake WAS left intact for day or
so, and then cut open, and the fish
taken out and placed in water. They
were left for some time. and of the Ave
fishes which were originally put in the
cake none of them exhibited return
to life, so far as can be definitely de.
termined, except ono, and whether this
one was indeed alive is open to con-
lecture. After being placed in water,
this one fish, 1t is asserted, moved from
the position in which it was placed and
assumed an entirely different position.
which it is believed the fish made itself.
However, as no one saw the movement,
it is taken that the death of the remain.
ing fish is proof positive that this one
fish was also dead. and that the change
of position was the result of something
else than life in the fish.

WHAT A MAN SAYS.
Some Masculine "Don'ts' That Deserve
Feminine Attention.


Feminine Attention.
Don't hate other women so. Think
Of the way you look at one another on
the street. Don't keep all your polite
ness for us.
Don't keep smoothing the wrinkles
out Of your waist. A few wrinkles will
keep you from looking hideously
smooth, like a fashion plate.
Don't have your skirt badly fastened
at the back so chat your underskirt
becomes visible. You can't see this,
and no woman seems to tell you.
Don't get off a car with your back
to the horses. Men get a great deal
of fun out of your persistency in do
ing this. But you are not bound to
amuse them.
Don't stand at the door of a street
car and worry some man near at hand
into giving you seat when there are
empty seats at the head Of the car.
You all do this.
Don't leave your handkerchief and
pocketbook in your lap when you are
riding in street car. Some man will
pick them Up for you as you are pass
ing out, but they will get muddy.
Don't try to have long waist For
5000 years the artists-the professors
and conservators Of beauty-have been
saying that a short waist Is the more
beautiful. At least please take the
hint
Don't wait until you get in front of
a ticket office window before taking
out your pocketbook. The wives of
the eight men who are patiently wait
ing the opportunity to buy tickets are
wondering why they are so late at
hOme.-RoSeleaf

Tins is competition Of rather an

This Is a competition of rather an
unusual nature. 1t is common to offer
prizes for The best story, or picture, or
architectural plan, all the competitors
risking the loss of their labor and the
successful one merely selling his for the
amount Of .he prize. But the Press
Claimes Company's offer is something
entirely different. Each person is ask
ed merely to help himself. and the one
who helps himself to the best advan-
tage is to be rewarded for doing it. The
prize is only stimulus to do something
that would be we'll worth doing without
1t. Tho architect whose competitive
plan for q club house on q CERTAIN cor.
ner is not accepted has spent his labor
on something OF very little use 10 him.
But the person who patents simple

~ if he fail to secure the prizc. He has
a substantial result to show for his
work-one that will command its value
In the market at any time.
