Gathering Pebbles to Sell.

Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy shore of
Lake Michigan nobody knows how long are
used as a commercial commodity in Chica.
go. They eventually find themselves stick
ing in hot tar and making the gravel part
of gravel roofs, crushed under heavy rollers
for street pavements II packed away
solidly as the base of made stone sidewalks.
The most interesting operation through
which these bright colored bits go is the
gathering. Men cladin trousers rolled up to
the knees, shirt and straw hat wade along
the beach where the water line makes the
pebbles show clearly. In their hands is a
sort Of net and hoe combined. The hoe
part is an opel iron frame with a thin shoe
where the edge of the blade would be.
Stretched on this frame and bending at an
angle of As degrees is a stout wire net.
With the shoe the gravel Is lifted from the
beach and drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filled a net, the workman with a
peculiar fling lands the load against a sieve
perched Upon a wagon. This sieve allows
the pebbles of commercial size to pass
through into the wagon and rejects those
too large, which fall back pattering into
the road. 1t is a common thing to see two
and three wagons at a time punched along
the beach in Lake View, each attended by
a bare legged man with one of the peculiar
gravel scoops in his hands. -Chicago Trib

The Cnt Tribe.

The Angora cat is peculiar. When it's
fur is entirely white, the animal is invari-
ably blind, but when there is even the
slightest tinge Of color the vision is as per-
feet as in any other normal cat. This phe-
nomenon is not accounted for. The only
case of similar kind known is that of the
fishes in Mammoth cave, which nave no
eyes. There is a reason for this, though,
for even if the fishes had eyes they would
be unable to see anything, owing to the in
tense darkness, which is never relieved ex-
cept by the torches Of occasional visitors.
The cat is a member of the family of fe-
lde, which contains also the lion, tiger,
panther and lynx. All of these animals
have been gifted by nature with the same
traits. They are cunning, endowed with
rapid and noiseless motion. and provided
with sharp claws, strong, sharp teeth
and eyes that see nearly as we'll at night as
in the day, though none of the felidse is
farsighted. The domesticated cat original
ly lived in forests.-St. Louis Post-D Dis

Maids NJ Sea.

My advice on taking a maid to sea on a
yacht is the same some one gave to n friend
on the subject of Neutrality-suspicious.: - She
suffers invariably from seasickness, which
makes her useless for O short voyage.
On a long voyage she is much too refined
a creature to put up with the little incon-
veniences that ladies accept with a smile.
She sets the steward and cook by the ears.
foments quarrels among the sailors and
fi1ts with the mate when he should be in
tent on his duties.
Do you wish to 20 on shore, there is al
ways the maid to consider. She cannot,
she protests, be left alone unprotected on
the ship. But If you choose to Jake her
that is another matter. Then there is ev-
cry reason why she must remain on board,
Her clothes are too thick or too thin, or her
head aches and she cannot bear the sun, OF
her tight boots (they always wear boots u
size too smalD have CALLED her feet.
If it is imperative that you have q maid
with you, by all means put her on the ships
articles as stewardess. She is then, so far
as your legal authority is concerned, on the
same footing as the crew, with whom disc.
bedience is mutiny.
There are several other articles that at
first thought may seem Indispensable, but
that you would do better not to meddle
with-fce machines, for instance.
We met an English yacht in Taiohai.
The first question asked me was, 'Have
you n maid with youW
Eyes," was the answer. Have your"
Il had, but we put her ashore at the first
port. Have you an ice m%achine?"
"Yes, but it won't work at sea. Have you
one?"
I'VE had one, but threw it overheard
long ago."--Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson.

The idea Of the Galveston News
that slow processes of courts tend
to restrain from crime by their
deliberativeness, is novel one.
Does it mean that the slower the
process the more it restraints, in
that case no process at all ought to
work a mighty deliverance from
crime.
