The general desire of modern Ameri-
can women to make money and be in
dependent has been wonderfully ex-
emplified in the remarkable sales OF
the new book "How, A practical Busi-
ness Guide for American Women, of
all ages and conditions, who want to
make money, but do not know How"
This book, while written by woman
for women, Is full of such advice as a
hard headed, successful business man
might give. It is the first book pub
lished in English in which wcmen's
work and modern opportunities are
handled, without sentiment, in the
light ofcommon sense. The wealthy
woman will here get advice of untold
value in handling her money. The
needy woman will learn the best hon.
est methods Of earning and saving
money, and the young woman will gel
such hints as will put her on an equa
footing with her brother in the race fol
independence. Ask your bookseller
for it, or send postal order for Scots. tc

A Glacier Tomb.

After long years the glacier of Roserlane,
above Meiringen, has told thesequel to an old
Alpine mystery. In 1880 one DR.. Haller and
two guides of Grindelwaln made an ascent
from which they never returned, but now
the slowly moving bed of ice has given up
its secret and brought forth dead man
one of Dr. Haller's unfortunate party, but
whether the professor himself or guide it
is no longer possible to determine. A drink
ing cup of old fashioned manufacture and
magnifying glass were found beside the
corpse.
The incident recalls perhaps one of the
most pathetic tales recorded of Alpine dis
aster-that in which glacier after many
years brings to the light a corpse, fresh and
young as when death fell, and an ancient
dame, the lover of the dead guide, recog-
nizes her sweetheart, lost so long. Time has
stood still with him-for 80 years he has
slept in the ice-and she, grown old and
withered with burden of long life and much
sorrow, recognizes her lover Of half CEN
tury ago.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Nettle Hemp Thread.

Another success scored by the japanese
in the province Of industryis recorded in
that countrv's press. 1t consists in the pro-
duction of fine thread from nettle hemp.
The patent is said to have been obtained by
Itagaki Hokotaro, son Of Count Itagaki,
but the technical method was elaborated
chiefly by Miyazaki Saburo Of the Hokkaido
hemp factory.
The reputation acquired by certain
French silk manufacturer in connection
with thread of this kind turned the atten-
tion of Mr.. Itagaki to the subject. After
trials extending over a period of several
years, Mr.. Itagaki succeeded n obtaining
thread about the size of No. 40. He was,
however, dissatisfied with that result, and
continuing his experiments at length sue
ceeded in obtaining threads of the fine
ness of No. 100, fineness never previously
obi med, even in France. The nettle hemp
is aid to be three or four timesas strong as
8 K, equally fine and not at all inferior in
oint of luster, so that it is expected to prove
formidable rival of the noble article"
This nettle hemp, from the bark of which
the thread is produced, grows abundantly
in wild state in Japan, especially in Hok-
kaido, so that the country has great ad-
vantage over Europe, where the plant must
be specially cultivated, San Francisco

of it all. 1t happened in this way:

The stranger went to the house and asked
to see the mans daughter, but as there was
no daughter his sister went to the door.
The man said he was sent to repair her
brothers wheel, and she showed it to him.
He said it was sadly in need of repair and
that it would be necessary to take it to the
firms shop. He gave her receipt, but
after he had departed the young woman be-
came uneasy and went to the bicycle firm 's
store and asked about the stranger. The
firm knew nothing of him.
