fact is well known among men who have
been much to sea in southern waters in
tested by man eaters. The tiercest man
eater that ever bullied poor little pilot
into acting as food scout for him will get
out of the sea way in mighty big hurry
if swimmer, noticing the sharks ap-
proach, sets up noisy splashng. shark
is in deadly fear of any sort OF living thing
that splashes in the water.
Down among the south sea islands
the natives never 20 in sea bathing alone,
but always in parties of half dozen or 30,
in order that they may make the greatest
hubbub in the water and thus scare the
sharks away Once in a while too
venturesome swimmer among these natives
foolishly dctaches himself from his swim
ming party and momentarily forgets to
keep up his splashng. Then there is a
sudden swish, and the man eater comes up
behind him like flash and gobbles him.
81 know naval officer who, down in
the harbor of Acapulco, Mexica, one after
noon few years ago stepped on sleeping
man eater in shallow water while bathing.
The officer gave himself up for lost, but he
made frantic effort to wade in to the
beach. He expected every minute to have
both of his legs Topped off by the sharks
teeth. In wading in lie, o! course, made
lot of disturbance in the water and this is
what saved him. When, to his own sur
prise, he finally stepped up on the beach
and looked back for his shark, he saw the
man eaters fin cleaving the blue waters Of
the bay hundreds of feet away, bound out

SAILORS AND SHARKS.

"Two facts that may seem somewhat
peculiar to shore folks, said an eXsailor
of the navy, care first, that only about
one-half of the men wars men in our
service or in any other service, in fact,
know how to swim, and second, that
sharks are the most cowardly Of all living
creatures. 1t is odd that so large pro-
portion of the naval sailors don't know
fact that a great number of our memo
wars men nowadays come from the in
terror Of the country, where there is no
water for them to learn how to swim.
Gin the old navy-and put all of my
service in the old navy, so called-the man
who couldn't swim, as soon as the fact was
discovered by his shipmates, incontinently
chucked over the side when swimming call
went and he just had to swim. OF course
the men wouldn't let a fellow who didn't
how to swim drown before their eyes, but
they would see TO it that he made hard
stab at the art of swimming before they
picked him up. If he didn't succeed in
swimming the first time, overheard he
would go the very next time all hands
took plunge over the side at swimming
call, and thus all Of the men serving on the
old line Of packets became swimmers
before they left the service. 1t is
forbidden to throw nonswimmer
into the water now, but think it would
be good thing il the practice were still
continued.
'The officers of the ships today insist
upon the apprentice lads learning to swim,
but they let the nonswimmers among the
newly recruited landsmen go along with
out learning. There have been numerous
drowning incidents in our navy within
recent years, owing to the inability of men
who were otherwise excellent sailors, in
the easy art OF swimming.

\ Century Coli Girl,

Golting is the outdoor fad of the season
The American girl says so, and her word is
law nowadays. The craze for golf is wide.
spread, and is not limited to the girls OF
any grade of society.
The golng girl expert who plays with q
st Andrew swing" and owns more clubs
than her caddy carry, is wild with enthusi-
asm over the sport.
And the girl with two ''bRrgain" clubs,
who plays on free course, is an equally
loyal golfer.
The golfng girls vocabulary is full OF
mysterious golGng lore, and her cheeks
are full of golting roses.
If she is fashionable young person her
golf clothes are so varied that they form in
themselves an entire wardrobe and costs
hundreds OF dollars, and her golfing im-
PIGMENTS are countless.
But the golhng fad goes far beyond the
limits OF costume aud clubs, The truly
enthusiastic go6ng girl this year is q golfer
in every phase Of her social life.
She gives golf Iuncheons with her club
colors and with golting souvenirs.
She designs the prettiest and daintiest
golf favors for dances and card parties.
She has all the toilette artises which
alorn her dressing table either fashioned
after golGng implements or decorated with
golf symbols.
And her jewelry, her hat pins, studs,
belt buckles, pins and cuff links all tell a
tale of the goling fad.
The golfug girls strictly golting ward
robe shows so much that is odd and new
this year. Here are the novelties:
Quaint and airy sunbonnets fit for u
fluffy picture girl
Fanciful silk jackets embroidered in
thistles and golf clubs.
Gay colored satin knee breeches with
ieweled buckles at the knees.
Impracticahle all white costumes.
Brilliant green box-cloth coats with
revers, collar and cuffs vivid scarlet
Soft warm golf caps in the lightest and
brightest of paids.
And silk and loosely woven fine wool
stockings with scotch plaid tops in place of
those of heavy wool.
The golfng girl wears her skirts a good
two inches longer this year than last. Now
they are Just four inches from the ground.
And whether OF stout tweed or wool linen
they are all made to fit with prevailing
fashionable smoOthness at the back and
over the hips, though the yard sufficiently
wide at the bottom to make tramping over
the links pleasure. OF jackets she owns
an interesting collection, and her hats,
shirt waists, belts and necktes specially
designed for golfalmost require cataloguing
50 great is their variety.

Poultry Notes.

See that the eggs are clean before
being sent to market.
No fowl should be allowed to get
thoroughly wet, except duck or
goose.
The question Of profit or loss in
poultry keeping depends largely on
care Or carelessDess.
The incubator should take the
place of the hen, if you intend to
make the chicken business pay.
The earlier the hens shed their
old coats the sooner they will begin
to make winter egg record.
Two roosters when but one is
needed. If that is the way you are
conducting the poultry business,
your system is wrong.
Give as much of a variety as pos
sible- Young chicks soon tire of
the best of feed ifconfned to it for
any great length of time.
A chick which has been thorough
ly wet and chilled might as well be
killed. 1t has been robbed of its
vitality and will never amount to
much.
Whatever kind Of birds one Sc
lects, he shonld have the best of its
kind. For them to be off in size,
or laying qualities, or yigor, defeats
the whole purpose of keeping fowls.

DECORATION DONTs.

Don't put CANDY or bright COL
ored carpet in q room where the
furniture is dull, old or OF neutral
tints.
Don't furnish north room in blue
or any other cold color; something
of warm tint should be chosen.
Don't have chandeliers or hanging
lamps with rooms of low ceiling; use
side brackete or table lamps in such
cases.
Don't hang heavy portiere over
narrow door; generally: speaking,
hangipgs are out of place in small
house, or with small rooms.
Don't fill the center of the room
unless there is plenty of space on all
sides; nothing offends good taste SO
seriously as the sense OF being
'cluttereU up
Don't have too much of one kind
of decoration in the house; two
rooms upon the same general pat
tern are quiet enough--an individual
scheme for each apartment is better.
Don't give small room the ap.
pearance of over.decoration, even if
there are a quantity of new orna-
ments received as Christmas gifts
which are to be given a prominent
place to show ones appreciation.
Don't forget that flowers and
handsome decorative plants are no
more expensive than much of the
cheap brio brac and imitation stat
ues; and while the latter will cheaper
any room, the former will give an
air of refinement and good taste to
the most scantly furnished home.

It hurts to walk properly. unless all
corns are removed, smooth stockings

done in ones room or when working
