STILL USING FLINTLocKs.
"A Now Brunswick Storekeeper Says His
Patrons Must Have Them.

A NV" DEuubWlcA SCOEeReeper says HIS
Patrons Must Have Them.
! Some regions are rather slow to adapt
themselves to modern game-killing
implements. A Forest and Stream cor
respondent got letter from New
Brunswick the other day which said
that fintlock guns were still in use uD
in that country. The letter was from
q store keeper, who said that the store
had carried a supply of gun Hints ever
since it had been started by his grand
father, away back in 1886. Probably
he would lose trade if he did not have
them in stock. It is not improbable
that Indians in the North Woods Of
Canada still use fintlock guns, but to
use them SO near New York as is New
Brunswick is curious.
A flintlock gun, beside n amodern
hammerless gun, makes contrast apt
to be remembered. 1t has been pro
posed more than once that sportsmen.
instead of using such deadly weapons
as modern guns, take up. the old bow a nd
arrow, or some other primitive weapon.
The sportsmen that had killed modern
deer with that ancient weapon could
say that he was as good hunter az
anybody. There are few or none that
can boast Of such akill.

Ghostlx Imprcsnr1os.

There is a yarn current in London
that the ghost of the late Sir Augustus
Harris has been seen by q veracious
Waterman of Drury Lane theater seat
ed in a procenium box at dead of night
directing an imaginary rehearsal. The
old story Of the Covent Garden fireman
who saw Frederick eyes ghost is re-
called by this tale, though it does not
explain it. The fireman was going his
rounds about O'clock in the morning
when he was amazed to see his old
master. looking CHASTITY white in the
half darkness and standing at the
head Of the grand staircase where he
had SO often received noble guests. 1t
was, of course, the Gye statue, which
now stands on its pedestal on the half
landing at the Royal Italian opera, but
which, unknown to the fireman. had
been brought in during the day.-New

A Cardinals Hat

The red hat of cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any
except their very best crowns. Before
accepting it the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the propaganda and
to his titular church ut Rome and pay
fees for a long list Of officials, ranging
from chamberlains of the Vatican
down to the cooks and sweepers and
the soldiers of the Swiss guards. In
deed, the new cardinal has to pay fees
at every step from the moment of his
creation to the occasion of his receiving
the red hat in public consistory, and
when all is over and done finds him
self out of pocket to the extent of
- 500 at least. If the cardinal is with
out means to def1ay the cost of his
elevation, and if he is to reside at
Rome, the Vatican is ready to make
him loan, to be repaid in installments
out of his yearly a1lowances.-New
York Times.

A Mother. Duties ana Claims.

In an article deprecating the ten
dency of mothers Of the present day to
escape the care and responsibility of
training their children, Edward w.
Box, in the Ladies' Home Journal, en-
phasizes the distinction between a
mothers duties and the claims upon
her time: "* d When to a woman
is given the sweetest delight that can
come to her. motherhood, God gives
with that delight a duty, the duty Of n
personal training of the rhild. Before
that duty all outside woliS-I care not
by what religious, charitable or philan-
thropic word you may call .it-should
fail. No matter what outside work a
woman may be engaged in, the best
can only be claim upon her time, and
not duty. And duties never conflict.
God gives no more duties to a woman
than she has the time or ability to
fulfill. The exactions of she world are
not duties; they are claims. If there
is time it is we'll to meet them. But
claims being man-made and duties be-
ing God-made the former must often
he ignored and should he put aside
where the latter calls. Women should
think Of this and bear it IN mind lit
tie more constantly than they do. es-

Electric Lighting in the Polar Re-
gi0ns.

When Nansen set out on the memora-
BILE expedition to try to reach the north
pole great interest was excited by the
installation on board the Fran of lit
tie plant for supplying current for a
number of electric lights, by which it
was sought to lessen the dreariness of
the long arctic winter. The dynamo
was geared up TO a windlass from
which a number Of sheaves projected.
The method proposed for generating
the current was to put a sailor at each
sheaf and let him walk round during
his shift. and thus turn the windlass.
The electricity was then used to charge
battery of accumulatOrs, which were
thus available for lightings purposes.
A wind mill was also provided to be
used when opportunity offered instead
of hand labor The experiment WAS 4
great success. Until May last the accu-
mulators were continually har.r;i. and
the electric light was always available.
In the severe cold the batteries froZe

Can't Escape the Bolero.

1t is impossible to escape from the
bolero. Even if it were not so, it
would be most undesirable, since the
make-shift at coat is quite the jaunt-
fest affair of the present up-to-date
toilette. 1t forms a part of every
smart street costume, and is even fore
ing it's way into the makeup of dainty
house and evening frocks.
A wonderfully-pretty CONNECTION for
evening wear has narrow skirt of
white glace silk shot with peach pink,
with, at all the cores, full fans Of
gauffered mousseline de sole set in,
finished at the top by clusters of very
natural-loolling pink roses caught with
knots of pink velvet ribbons.
The bodice has a soft blouse of gauf-
fered white lLousseline de sole, droop-
ing over deep ceinture of peach-pink
velvet, fastened at the back with big
pearls set in rhinestones. Over this
blouse, which is as dainty as a bit OF
frost-work, is worn a short bolero OF
peach-pink velvet, with mousQuetaire
sleeves of the same. A rich Oriental
embroidery sets all along the edge OF
the coat and sleeves, with thick ruch-
ing Of mousseline de sole at the throat,
built to set high up behind the head.
The bolero is a &c rment OF economy.

IN her article on 1.-The Vocal Student
OF the necessity Of securing a thor

girl properly trained and qualified the
profession Of vocal teacher is one of
the most remunerative. Good teachers
are scarce and in great demand, and as
the fees are large an excellent income
may be obtained. Next comes the
career of the church singer. Every
church has it's choir, and in the major
ity Of cases the soloists composing it
are paid, and often well paid. Engage
ments as q drawing room singer can be
secured i'll large cities when one has
talent and faculty, and when the voice
Is not sufficiently large for it's possessor
to become concert singer. The fees
of the successful concert singer are
large; she is constantly in demand; her
repertoire is Of songs, not of entire
roles, and is more easily acquired; her
expenses are limited to the cost of a
few evening gowns, in the place of
scores Of costumes. For the opera
singer there is plenty of hard work, but
for that there is the compensation Of
