Fishing Dories.

The American fishing vessels are
schooners. You can tell them by the
dories which, when not in use, are
''nested"-set one inside the other-on
deck. An ordinary ships boat usually
has a ring in the bow and stern, into
which the ropes by which it is hoisted
aboard are. hooked A dory, however,
has a long eye in the painter (the rope
at the bow), and in the stern a beck
eta loop formed by passing a rop=
through two holes
There are five dories to the average
fishing vessel, and two men to a dory,
beside sthe Captain and the cook. who
remain aboard While the dories are out.
their gear''-set their tawls. A trawl
is line. about a mile long, from which
thousand hooks hang by smaller lines.
At each end of the traWl is a keg-fioat.
The kegs of different vessels are identi-
fed by distinctive little flags and
marked with the vessels name. The
kegs are anchored. and that part of
the line to which hooks are attached
rests on the bottom.
On a forenoon in fine weather the
dories will ''under-run' the travis

Hints for Travellers.

1t is quite an undertaking to pre-
pare for long juorney by rail, and un-
less one is an experienced traveller she
is somewhat in doubt in regard to what
is required in the way of apparel, so a
few hints from one whose experience
in this direction is fresh in mind may
not be amiss In the first place. the
travelling dress should be very quiet in
color, very plainly made and above all
it should be comfortable. A plain.
dark skirt with a loosely fitting black
Silk waist is in very good taste.
For an outside wrap a cape is the
most convenient, as it can be slipped
off and on readily as the changing tenn
perature Of the car requires. The hat
should be small and with as little trim
ming as possible to catch the dust.
White underskirts are entirely out of
place and should not be worn, for they
soon become soiled, and the finest white
skirt when trayel-stained is far more
unsightly than plain, dark skirt of the
most common material.
To sleep in at night it is advisable
to have a wrapper of some soft wooden
material, that will be comfortable and

ell is required to carry all the neces-
sary toilet articles such as brushes.
comb, soap and towels, for a lady does
not wish to use those provided for the
general use of the passengers.
Provision should also be made for the
end of the journey, in case the trunk
is delayed, in the form of plenty of
fresh collars. or lace for the neck,
pocket handkerchiefs and fresh gloves.

the oil flows slowly to keep the bear

A new manner of fastening handles
on spades, hoes, ETC., consists of having
conical screw shank on the tool, with
notches cut in the sides, into which
screws are fastened after the shank
has been screwed into the handle.
A handy pencil holder just out has a

Mr. Hare describes the man, called r.,

His arms and legs straggle away

he answered. Quite well, thank you. .

A Great Invention.

The tall man wheezed heavily and
looked at the editor. He had painted
all the way up the stairs, and was
waiting for that form of recognition
which the man who is ready to listen
gives the man who is ready to talk.
The editor looked up inqmrmgly.

"You must excuse me this morning, Z"
said the editor.
''An idea, continued the tall man.

He paused and wheezed some more.

No Respecter of Persons.

When Admiral de. Horsey, at Port
Royal, was one night returning to his
flagship alone, his way to the boat led
across the barrack square. A black
sentry of one Of the West India regi-
ments halted him at the gate with,
"Who goes dar?" Great was the Ad-
miral's annoyance to find that he had
neglected to get the password. That s
all right" he said carelessly, hoping
to overcome the mans scruples by in
difference; ''you know who am. Dun
no know nobody, sar," replied the mig
ger pompously; 'you can't go in dar." !"
why, I'm Admiral De Horsey!" We'll,
you can't go in," was the reply. Il

Regulating the Pitch of Bells.

In the casting of bells Of large size for
chimes or given tones the skill and Sc
cret of success lie in getting the thck-
ness of the ring which Is at the mouth
of the bell just right 1t will be noticed
that just a little back from the edge OF
the bell, on the fange, the metal is
thicker than in any other portion. The
maker in order to get the desired tone,
makes drawing of the bell, and in 4
cross section of this thicker ring de-
scribes a circle, the diameter Of which
determines the tone.

We at last must chronicle the death
of Albert Rose which occurred at five
O'clock Wednesday morning. Albert
had typhoid fever for forty-twO days
but the delirium and fever never left
him and he died easy without regain
ing consciousness. He was II years
old and steady, conscientious young
man whose life and character were
an example to all his associates. He
was all active worker in the Christian
Endeavor society and Sunday school
here and many regrets are expressed.
The funeral ceremony was conducted
by the Rev. Gramley, of LaHarpe,
where Albert had his church member
ship, and was assisted by Rev, Faust,
of Allen Center. He was buried in
LaHarpe. We take this opportunity
to express the gratitude of the family
and friends for the kind assistance
rendered by the neighbors and to the
Jealous care of the watchers for so long
time. Your kindness will not soon
be forgotten.

MILKING MACHINE.

There Is No Doubt That 1t Does the
Work Thoroughly.
There is a machine apparatus which
has been very successful in extracting
milk from the cows udder in Sweden.
It is the machine known as the lactator,
quite different from the Thistle milker
invented in Scotland.
One Swedish lactator is calculated
20 draw the milk from 10 COWS, and two
men can milk 100 COWS at the same
time. A correspondent of Hoard g Dairy
man visited the farm of the inventor
of the lactator in Sweden and de-
scribes for that paper what he saw. The
apparatus is complicated. Its arrange
mept reminds one of the many jointed
steel fingers of the typewriting machine.
To our mind, however, there is one
fatal objection to it, an objection that
holds good in regard to various other de.
vices used in connection with milk.
That is the large amount of rubber tub
ing employed. 1t is no use talking,
milk cannot be made to pass through
rubber tubing without injury to its
quality. If there were nothing else, the
impossibility of thoroughly cleansing
the inside of the tubing would stand
insuperably against it. But when we
add to this the fact that white lead,
which is poison, is always used in the
preparation of rubber goods, also the
fact that the rubber itself is accompa-
MED Ny a smell and flavor that cannot
be got rid of at ali. we have reasons suf-
ficient for banishing this material from
the dairy. Mr.. F. W. Woll, The Dairy
mans correspondent, writes:
It is complicated piece Of apparatus
in its construction p1ada nf alnniniuI,
and weighing about Kilograms (15.4
pounds avoirdupois). There are four
similar parts in each lactator, one for
each teat. These work from a common
axis, independently of each other and
