A Good Bargain.

The woman who hunts bargains is
a usual subject of criticism and a
Standlng newspaper joke Much of the
T1dlcuIe is undeserved, and much ILL
directed. The whole world. not merely
women, loves to get a good bargain
which means full value or extra yalue
Tor It's money; and this seeking of the
bargain hunter whose stock of money
Is limited is not only justified. but COM
mendable.
Nor is it really impossible. as some
jokes and some comment seem TO i'm
ply, 10 get extra value and good re-
turns Tor the money, time and work
spent In hunting a good bargain. Good
bargains are not common. but they are
TO be had, and extra value for her mon
ey IS otten the reward of the skillful.
ureiess bargainhunter. She has a
small amount of money, but plenty of
time IN which to hunt her prey and the
shopkeeper who needs her money quick
ly is the prey she is seeking.
No doubt the seller often considers
that the bargain is his. but that is
as it should be. For the value of a
thing is only relative, after all. If my
time is worth a thousand dollars an
hour, and yours only cents, one of
us would gain largely and the other
lose heavily to give that hour to Sc
cure a 30 bargain. And whoever gives
what he does not want, to get what he
does want, and gets it, has obtained
a good bargain for his outlay.-Har-

Knives and Pistols.

During September visited several of
the reformatory institutions to see
what was being done for the younger
boys in regard to manual training l
found very little systematic instruc-
ton. The principal occupations were
Gaming chairs, knitting stockings by
machinery and other purely mechan-
ical work. In none of the schools was
there systematic instruction in manual
training as il is now carried on in educa-
tional institutions. In fact, there were
so many young boys who could not be
kept busy at machine work that large
part of the time, which might have
been usefully employed, was spent in
idleness. During these hours the boys
found occupations on their own account
for their hands to do to limited ex-
tent.
In one institution the boys had taken
from their hat bands the broad steel
wire which kept them in shape. broken
it into pieces from three TO six inches in
length. ground these upon the door
steps or walls of the building and used
them as knives to whittle such bits of
wood as they could pick up about the
yard or secure from the janitors when
they made the fires. They made a
handle by winding on the ravelings of
stockings or binding two bits of wood
on either side. Little boats. paper
knives, household furniture. were rude
ly shaped by these crude Instruments
Some of the boys were put there for
wrecking trains, for burglary, etc, and
their tendencies We're sometimes ex-
pressed in the things they tried to
make. For instance. pistols, small
knives and weapons such as boys
might use in Indian raids, etc.-Altruist

turtles a year. the price ranging from
tenpence to a shilling per pound.
Though susceptible to cold the tur-
ties may be nailed to the deck of the
ship so as to prevent the creatures
swarming all over the vessel. The
seeming vitality of the turtle after de-
capitation is curious. Mr. Bells once
sent big fish to a hotel in Newcastle.
The chef cut the turtles head off and
hung the body upside down to bleed.
Twenty-four hours after that turtle
knocked down a man cook with one
blow Of it's fin. A turtles head was
also mentioned which, severed from
the body for many hours, would yet
bite savagely at a piece of wood. AS a
rule turtles are not dangerous to han
die, but they have inflicted severe in
Juries with their fins. A man was
once carrying into a famous restaurant
a very large turtle, and as he was
placing it on the floor the creature
snapped his nose clean off.

The last curious industry deals with
funeral horses. Robert Roe of Ken
slngton Park Road has imported these
stately animals for upward of twenty
Ive years. 1t seems they come from
Friesland and iceland, and cost from
t4o to ITO. There must be about 900
funeral horses in London. The aver
age undertaken, however, keeps neither
horses nor coaches, but hires these
from people like Seaward of Islington.
Mr.. Seaward keeps a hundred funeral
horses, so that visit to his stable is
an interesting experience.
1t is dangerous" said one of my in
formants, ito leave a pair of these
black stations outside public houses
when returning from a funeral. for

The turtle trade is unique. Nine
tenths of it is in the hands of T. K.
Bells of No. Jeffrey's Square, St.
Mary Axe, E. c. The headquarters of
the trade is at Kingston, Jamaica, but
nearly all the fishing is done on the
coral reefs north of the island One
hundred men work on the eight to fif-
teen schooners. The catching is simple
enough. Strong tWine nets are stretched
from rock to rock, and when the fish"
(as it is called feels itself caught it
clings to the meshes with its fins.
Each schooner returns to Kingston
with so to $50 turtles, which are de-
posted in Enclosures, filed with sea
water; they are fed on turtle grass and
taken as required. No turtle of more
than $50 pounds in eaten in England,
while those of 140 pounds are most in
demand.
The importers standing order to his
agent is. Don't exceed 100 turtles by

straw are used, and a liberal diet of

The next peculiar occupation is
truft1e hunting. The average truffie
isn't much bigger than a walnut; it is
black and has a warty surface. The
powerful odor of the fungus, especially
just before a thunderstorm (trufles
have been called thunder roots" and
swine bread'), attracts many animals
even pigs Pigs We're trained and used
to hunt for truffles, until dogs super
seded them. The hunters seek truffies
during the winter, but they are baffied
by a severe frost, which hardens the
ground. The biggest truff1e on record
was unearthed two years ago; it
weighed six pounds ten and a half
ounces.
Truff1es are most abundant on noun
talns. When the trees are fully grown
and the crop favorable one hunter and
dog can find from forty-five pounds
to ffty-five pounds of truffles in a
days work. But the majority of the
men own very little hilly land, and only
IND seventeen pounds, twenty pounds
or twenty-five pounds per day. Some
seasons the trufIie crop is an utter fail
ure. Messrs. Bernard handle every
year between 10000 and 10000 pounds
of truffles, the bulk being preserved
In the season, however, London and
other great cities receive by parcel
post baskets of fresh truffles weighing
seven to nine pounds.
When the dog has found a truffie he
stops, shifting, on the spot He is then
rewarded with scrap of food, and his
master digs up the truffle, puts it in
his wallet, and makes for another tree;
for it is beneath trees that this fungus
is found.

An extraordinary business is carried
on at the Maison Pinet, No. 56 Berners
street, W. NJ Pinet is a professional
hight increaser. This is effected in two
ways: First, by using in ones boots
the plush-covered pads (called 'eleva-
tOrs'); and second, by wearing specially
made boots. For anything up to one
and half inches the elevators are recon-
mended; up to six inches the specially
made boots. The elevators cost from
Is Cd to los Sd per pair; they are about
five inches long and two and a half
inches wide. The boots run up the scale
guineas.
Clerks out of employment, mattresses,
shOpgirls, footmen Ito whom stature is
everything), and even policemen, are all
among NJ. Pinet's clients; also army
officers. Members of Parliament, lords
and ladies, barristers, clerics of all de-
grees, and lovers of both sexes by the
thousand. In many cases ladies use the
elevators solely because they raise the
instep and make the feet appear smaller.
One hears of the dignified gentleman
who left his elevators in his boots, when
he put these outside his hotel bedroom
door. When the boots were brought up
polished the pads were missing, and the
gentleman was confined to his room"
He didn't care to make inquiries about
the things. When he did venture out
he was somewhat lower in the eyes of
his friends. The moral is, keep dupli-
cate pairs.

How Water Wizards Detect the PreSenCs
Of Running Water.
The Truffle-Hunte and His Dog
Biggest Truffle on
Record.

The water-wizard will detect for you
the presence of running water beneath
the surfact of the ground. The chief
exponent of this decondite art is Lei
cester Gataker of Weston-super-M Mare.
Although science has not recognized
the divining-rod, still the fact remains
that Mr.. Gataker is extraordinarily sue
cessful in finding water where geologlcal
experts have failed. Moreover he IS
employed by great landowners and mu-
nicipal bodies, so that he makes
handsome income out of the subtle af-
finity that exists between him and run
ming water.
Mr.. Gataker discovered his strange
faculty accidentally CHANGING to walk
across q field holding a V-shaped white
thorn twig, he suddenly felt it turn in
his hand. Most water-wizards use the
twig in their divinations; but Mr..
Gataker usese his hands only. He is
made sensible of the existence of water
beneath the surface by experiencing a
mild tremor all up the muscles of his
arms and a slight tingling sensation in
the palms of his hands-not unlike a
weak electric shock. Mr.. Gataker does
not merely find water; he also gauges
the depth at which it will be found, and
this he estimates according to the sensa-
tions felt. Many people, l learn, pos
sess this power without knowing it
: During his career as a ''dowser'' Qocal
name), Mr.. Gataker has had to con-
tend with a great deal of scepticism.
And he has been tested. He was once
shown a well in an unfamiliar place.
IL
He set to work, but found he could
trace no water in the vicinity That
well had been dry for years. Mr.. Gata
ker long ago silenced those who sug-
gested trickery. He adopted the prin-
ciple, No water, no pay" and now
great landowners and local corpora
tions have, through his agency, secured
an abundant water supply in the form
of gushing wells where it was never
even suspected that water existed.

YALE Is LOSING STUDENTS.

1t is standing joke that young men
are sent to college to improve their
athletics rather than their minds. There
is some foundation for the joke, or at
least FOR the saying that the college
having the greatest number Of athletic
triumphs to its credit is the most pop
ular oce. This seems to be proven in
the case of Yale this year. The number
Of freshmen entering the academic de-
partment this year is 55 less than en-
tered last year, While it is the first time
in 20 years that the membership OF the
academic department mas failed to in
crease with each successive class. But
the explanation for this decrease is the
most extraordinary thing about it. It
is said the decrease can be accounted
for only on the theory of the hard
times and YaIe's athletic reYerses. But
the country is told that times are good
and no longer hard since the DiugleY
law Was enacted. However this may be.
il IS remarkable that a series Of ath-
letic reverses should affect the attend
ance at any college or university unless
chief charm OF university life is ath-
letics. This explanation shows what a
dominating influence on college life
athletics have come to possess. The ad-
Vaacement of learning is a matter of
very secondary Importance If ne may
judge by the prominence given to ath-
letics in all college news and the little
or no reference paid to what the stu
dents are doing in an intellectual way.
Athletics have their proper place in col
lege life. but it is subordinate one,
While they have come TO be exalted to
first place, so far as the public can see
This is shown by what has taken place
at Yale. And how does she console
herself? Il is said that from the stand
point of quality the class of 1901 is a
highly creditable acquisition to the uni
rersity. Small compensation to an
athletie-worshiping university.
