While Capon is delightful at all times, in
June it is simply ideal for now, not only
does the quaint old place appear at its best
in all the glory of its fresh summer lowell
ness. but the pleasant home-like charm,
which is one Of its most potent attractions
is especially apparent. During the past
year numerous improvements have been
made in the baths, which now among
the best equipped, as they have for more
than century been among the best known
for their medicinal qualities in this cOup-
Try.

mer colony is DIR. r. A. F. Penrose father

the delightful mountain breezes, with their
inYISOrating effect. have rendered enioya-

FEMALE PEARL HUNTERS.
torean Women Are Very Expert I'm
Diving for the Oysters

From the New York sun.
A Brooklyn man received last week a
letter from a friend in Seoul, the capitaI
of Corea, describing a visit the writer
had recently paid to the large island Of
Quelpaert. just south of Corea and a mart
of that country. 1t appears that one OF
the main lines of business is diving for,
the pearl oyster, and that the diving opera
lions are wholly raonopolized by women.
Here Is an extract from the letter:
i think the most unique sight ever saw
was the women divers at Quelpaert. Per
haps you may have heard that only women
divers are engaged in the pearl oyster fish
cries there. Every day I was there / SAW
lot of them going out To their work OF,
returning with the fruits OF their quest
under the sea. They are not a very hand
some crowd. but they have fine, supple fig
ures and can swim as well as any fish of
the deep. Each wears very scanty bath
ing dress that looks as though it might be
made of gunny sack. Tied to a string
around their waists is a gourd with a stop-
per in the neck of il to keep the water out
Tied to the gourd is a little bag. The third
and last article of the equipment is a sickle
which is also fastened to the waist and
rests on the back till the women get out TO
the fishing grounds.
You might think that boats would be
kept to carry these women out TO their
toll; but no, they work their passage and
them. They wade out few yards and then
breast the waves. moving seaward with
long, quick strokes and cutting the water
like a racing shell. They swim out about
half mile. My favorite amusement was
watching as much as / could see Of their
subsequent operations through a glass.
They would take off the gourd and little
bag and leave them floating around on the
surface. Then, sickle in hand, down they
would go head first and ] was told that
they had to sink forty or fifty feet to the
bottom.
about the time made up my mind they
would never be seen again alive. up they
would come. sometimes right near where
the gourd was floating. and sometimes sew
eral rods away. They would put their
oyster or two or three of them In the tile
bag, take a few long breaths and down
they would go again. repeating the process
until the bag was filled. IL is said they
will stay out for hours rather than return
before they have all the oysters that can be
crowded into the bag. Any stranger must
admire them, both for their splendid en-
durance and for their swimming. It's
worth more than all the tank performances
you ever saw.
1.-The sickles are used to cut away the
seaweed at the bottom so that the divers
may get at the stones and earth TO which
the oysters fasten themselves. A pearl is
very rarely found. but when a diver cap
lures the prize she thinks her fortune is
made. The shell is used as mother-of-pearl
and the oysters are eaten in large quanti-
ties. both on the island and on the main
land"

PANTHER BATTING.
A Difficult and Cruel Sport in Far-oG
East India.
From the Field.

From the Field.
OF all forms of sport in India sitting
up at night over bait for panthers is
about the most utterly wearisome and most
unprcductive, and yet at stations near to
which pantherS are to be found nearly
every sportsman has tried ii more or less
often-generally without ever having seen.
much less bagged, panther. Still, after re-
peated failures, 1t is very hard to resist the
temptation of trying once again when some
village shikari comes in and reports that
a panther comes to his village every night
and has killed large number of the vii
layers cows Or goats. The method adopted
in this form Of sport is very simple The
sportsman sits up in tree, on a native
tree is tethered kid, which is supposed to
bleat loudly, and so attract any panther
which may be in the neighborhood within
close range of the sportsman above him.
or course, moonlight night should be
chosen; but this is not sine qua non as
a lantern with the glass covered with white
tissue paper, hung in tree over the kid
makes a very fair substitute for moon
especially If the ground the kid is on is
covered with chaff (Which is procurable at
every village), as this makes the panther
more easily seen than If only the dark
ground were beneath him.
One reason for the non-success of this
form of sport is simply that the panther on
this particular night does not go his rounds
IN that Jungle, or else he comes late that
the sportsman, tired of sitting up for sew
erai hours, has gone home: or, what is very
commonly the case, when both sportsman
and kid have gore to sleep at their posts
Not uneommonly when the panther does
at last come with a rush like railway en-

that he starts up on his machan, which

Base Ball Briefs.

Two more chances at the Clevelands
again today.
Duncan's debut as a Senator can be class
ed as a success.
Mccain has started off poorly, but the
big fellow will make good before the
week is out. He was hit by the pitcher
three times yesterday.
Stanley Robson of the Clevelands is
"touted" to arrive in Washington TODAY
and there were rumors of contemplated
deals floating around the park last evening.
Kissing and yelling at a player won't
improve his work. Anterior never posed
third baseman and Is doing the best
he can. If the local fans" want the SEN
ators to win a jolly for the big third base
man will do more good than showerng all
sorts of maledictions on his head.
Jack O'Brien made many friends yester-
day by his clever work in left field He
captured three flies that were all ringers
and doubtless saved runs.
Kittridge seemed to be overanxious yes
terday, and his desire to be mixed up in
all the plays doubtless hurt the clubs
chances to win out. He captured one fly
in Atherton's territory and then he and
Dineen bumped together on bunt hit that
the twirler should have been allowed to
handle.
There is base ball cap out at National
Park that affords the players lots of
amusement. 1t came with the suits this
spring and measures SA. 1t was turned
over to Gus weighing and looked like a
big funnel on the veterans head Then in
rotation it has been passed down to the
new players as they arrive. Yesterday
Duncan caught 1t and looked funny, but
Kit" loaned him another cap and the
humor petered out.
President Stagmeir of the Wilkesbarre
club was on the bench with Manager Irwin
last evening and additional rumors of
trades We're set afoat.
Hughey Jennings has gotten into hot
water by tipping the Louisville club off as
to his condition. Yesterday Hanlon hauled
him over the Goals. and there Is a proba-
bility that Jennings will be sold to the
highest bidder or suspended for the re-
mainder of the season
Two games will be played tomorrow for
one admission, and the present series with
the Cievelands will finish up Friday with
single game The extra games were to
be played in Cleveland but have been
transferred here.
All the eastern clubs bit the dust yester-
day, the double header preventing a COM
plete Waterloo, Washington won the
only game credited to the east. Boston
could have crawled up on Brooklyn but
st. Louis wouldn't haye it, and likewise
the Phillies, whom the Colonies checked up
in clever style.
Mugsy McGraw started trouble with the
wrong man Yesterday in Baltimore when
he ''hitched" up with Tommy Corcoran

Trusted His Dog Too Far.
E Bangor MeJ Commercial.

From the Bangor tMe-D Commercial
1t is not always safe to put too much
trust in a dog. An Ellsworth man had a
highly priced dog. and when a nelghbor
presented a bill for two hens which he
claimed had been killed by the brute the
dog owner was grieved and positively re-
fused to believe the charge or pay for the
hens. A few days later the Ellsworth man
was driving by the farm where the hens
had been killed. The dog was with him in
the carriage. He drove into the farmers
yard TO prove to him shat mis- dog was not
guilty. Let out your hens" he said. land
I'll call the dog out of the carriage to
prove that he will not kill hens" II was
done. Before the dog could be stopped he
had killed four. The owner of the dog, who
never dishonors a just bill. pulled out his
wallet and settled for six hens

REMEDIAL METHODS.

Many invads believe that remedies necessarily imply
medicine and medicines only This is a serious mistake,
for it only leads them to be content with such limited
effects drugs able to produce but prevents them

which exist within the organism itself-the
very agencies by which, in health, the vital powers are
developed and maintained.

CATION by the trained representatives of our Secret
