WOOTEN'S SHIRT OF MAIL.

He Had 1t Made to Protect Him from
Rullets of Moonshiners.
j. w. Wooten, one of the Breathitt
county's, KY, constables, has had so
many close calls while assisting rev.
enue agents in raids on moonshiners
that he determined recently to take
precautions for the future. He has
been shot in the chest several times,
and was near death for several months
on a certain occasion when moon
sinners aim was unu-ually accurate.
Wooten had been reading of coats of
mail, and he determined to have one
made that would turn bullets. He went
to firm in Cincinnati and explained
what he wanted. One of the firms
artisans conceived the idea of making
him an undershirt composed of small
steel rings tapping each other some
thing on the order Of the feathers of a
bird. Wooten told the manager that
he would buy such a shirt if it was
guaranteed to be, bullet proof, and if he
was allowed to fire Winchester at it
at distance of fifty yards before ac-
cepting it. The workman who con
ceiyed the idea of making the shirt
told the manager that he could afford
to take the risk, and accordingly the
shirt was built. It is three-ply, the
rings being adjusted SO that the gar
ment is flexible, and vet the steel wire
of which the rings are composed resist
ed the impact Of a forty-four caliber
bullet fired from a Winchester by Con-
stable Wooten at the specified distance.
The constable now says that5the moon
sinners will have to shoot him in the
head before they can kill him Near
" all the raids are made in the night
time, and the constable thinks it will
be difficult for the sinners to hit. him
in the head.

Co-Operative Housekeeping

It is rather curious fact that most
Of the opposition to cooperative house
keeping comes from the rank and file,
the leaders in domestic science almost
unanimously agreeing that if the right
theory is practically carried out coop
erative housekeeping cannot fail of
success, and that the trouble with most
of the experiments that have ended so
disastrously lay in lack of common
sense. Mrs. Helen Campbell devotes a
chapter in her work on Household
economics to what she calls "organized
living" though she says it is not so
much cooperation as combination that
is desired in the housekeeping of a
community. She wants to see the busi-
ness of cooking and cleaning trans
ferred to the hands of experts so that
the mistress of a home shall not be
burdened by tasks to which she is un-
fitted by nature or education. This will
give employment to many needy wo-
men and more leisure to the house
mother. -.

A Desirable Trunk.

With its provision for transporting
the seasons hat with both safety and
ease, the latest trunk is genuine boon
to travelling womankind. To each side,
each end and to the bottom is attached
round cushion stuffed with hair; over
the, cushion the hat is placed and is
secured by a long hat-pin thrust
through the crown. The creation rests
as firmly, yet as lightly as upon it's
owners head, and can be carried to the
antipodes without danger Or harm. The
one drawback and the one objection
that instantly occurs is cost, but even
that can be sobYiated if one be a bit
clever and shrewd. The trunk proper
shows no popularity, no specially that
is its own. Round cushions stuffed
with hair, nailed fast to one of the
ordinary sort, and their edges covered
with gimp, neatly tackled on, serve ev-
cry purpose and are within the reach
of all. AS no weight is involved, those
that have already become weakened
with service can be made to serve, or
new ones of inexpensive make be con-
verted into the costlier sort.

A Woman with : HIstory.

a>~ "A woman With History
The ingenuity of the book agent has
not been exhausted, if an incident that
occurred the other day in a lawyers
Office down town is to be taken as
characteristic, says the New York Sun.
The principal partner is one of the best
known lawyers of the New York bar.
One day last week a woman came into
the outer Office, and, asking for the
head of the frm,, said that she was
anxious to see him on important busi-
ness. The clerks gave her the stereo-
typed answer. Mr.. So-and- So was busy,
one of them said, but he offered to
take in her name. Then she produced
card to which she added some words
IN pencil. The clerk glanced at it and
saw that beneath her name she had
written "a woman with a history" He
gave it to his employer, who was, in
deed, busily engaged. The unusual card
attracted his attention, and the woman
was shown into his Office. She gave no
evidence of having had history, and
seemed rather a business-like, cheer
full young person.
Il wrote on my card" she said,
that I have history. That is true.
1t is one of the best of the United
States ever published, and it is the
cheapest" Continuing the description
so. rapidly that there was no time for
the lawyer to interfere, she told him
all that she wanted to before he had
called in a clerk to show her out She
did not. succeed in selling a copy of
the book, but she got nearer the great
man than any book agent had ever
done before.

FOR A s75,ooo,ooo CANAL.
A Project to Pierce the Florida Penin-
sula Now Under Consideration !

"A Project to Pierce the Florida PENN
sula Now Under Consideration. 4.
Florida, long behind her neighbors
in respect to material development, has
increased her railroad mileage and has
added to her steamboat trade recently. !
Florida has coast line of 1900 miles,
and the area of water surface is 4,440,
to $4,000 square miles of land surface,
says the New York Sun. For. a state
having so much water area Florida has
very inferior canal service, the chief,
canal of the state being the Santa: Fe,
ten miles long, completed in $780, and
costing $4,000, between Waldo and
Melrose. With the increase of the
railroad business of Florida there has
been like increase in the demand for
canal communication, and recently
there has appeared project for the
cutting of waterway through Florida
to connect the Atlantic ocean with the
Gulf and to be of sufficient capacity for
the passage of ocean going vessels. The
articles Of incorp Grafton have. been filed:
in this ga .QQQ 900.
The projectors say that the canal VIII
be of the greatest Importance to the
commercial interests of this country
The width of the waterway will be 200
feet through it's entire length, and it
will be five years or more before the
canal can be completed, provided that
there are no serious difficulties in the
way. A $75,000,000 canal would be an
ambitious enterprise for Florida, es-
pecially when the fact is taken into
consideration that the great Cuez canal
represents in all total expenditure of
$101, 100000, and the Erie canal, which
has contributed so largely to the pros
perity of New York, city, only $751;
100000. 1t is believed by the project
ors of the Florida canal project that
no insurmountable obstacles will be
met. The assent of the Tallahassee
legislature has been secured.

THE REvENGE,s SEA FIGHT,

In the newly published work, sThe
Royal Navy" the following account is
given of the fight of the Revenge,
which suggested to Tennyson one of his
most stirring ballads: s -,
In 1891, off Flores, in the Azores,
Lord Tomas Howard was lying in
wait with his squadron to capture the
treasure ships of Spain: @'He narrowly
escaped being surprised there by Don
Alonzo de Bazan, who had been sent
out with a fleet of fifty-three ships to
meet and convoy home the expected
carracks. The Earl of Cumberland, as
has been mentioned above, had happen
ed to learn of the fitting out of this
fleet at Corunna, and had, with much
foresight, ordered Mr. Middleton, mas
ter of the Moonshine pinnace, to dis
cover it's force and object, and then, if
warn Lord Thomas. Middleton kept
the Spaniards in sight until there was
no longer any doubt OF their Intentions,
and thereupon set all sail for Flores, ar
irving very little ahead Of the enemy.
This was on August 81 80
Howard at once weighed. His sec
ond in command, Sir Richard Greyn-
vile, of the Revenge, had number of
men ashore, and, according to some
accounts waited for them. Camden
AMI others have it that he refused to
turn his back upon the enemy, and so
allowed himself to be hemmed in be-
tween the Spaniards and the island
Some also suppose that he mistook the
squadron of Don Alonzo for the expect
ed treasure ships; and, therefore, dis
obeyed the orders Of his communicating
chief. But be this as it may, he was
presently surrounded and attacked by
practically the whole OF the best part
of the Spanish fleet. Howard, with the
remaining six men-of-war, seems to
have been engaged for a considerable
time with the enemy, but not in such
a position as to afford any support to
