Mysteries of q Toilet.

Every man has theory against and
an apparent adherence of woman's
use of artificial means in the way of
producing bloomy complexion, and
yet as surely as the needle to the mag
net you will invariably find him gravi-
tating toward the girl or woman with
made complexion. The fact of the
matter is men don't know face pow
der and rouge when they see it, they
are not prone to recognize 1t even on
face as near as that Of their own
wives. So despite that much is being
said and more written about the lat
ter day woman's frank use of rouge,
powder and pencil, as long as one OF
her most appealing charms is vested
in rose and cream complexion, just
so long will she make use Of the
means whereby to build it.

"Take a look at that man." The
head of the house had just returned
from the kitchen and was talking to
an old friend whom he had left in the
library. "Notice his carriage; head
we'll back, step firm, shoulders
squared and his whole air suggestive
of important business. They just
called me to see him. AS result he
has half dollar of my money, a hat
and an overcoat that is yet good for

"Not specially sad, but it's his

All the servants turn up their noses

"But this fellow swung around to
the rear as though he was going to
storm the castle, gave bold, auda-
cious knock as if with the hilt of a

opened and asked IN commanding
voice if the man of the house was at

shod feet into the oven and asked if
he could glance over the morning

him generous section to sample.
He praised the roast till he got

men bearing their packs of gum oA
with this work trapping fur bearing
animals. A number of guides, who,
in the fishing and hunting season
traverse the woods with parties of
sportsmen, devote their winters to
gathering gum.
The life of the gum gatherer is
necessarily hard one, as will be seen.
1t is also terribly lonetome. All

the spring he "skuffs" DOWN to Ban
gor, there to market his gum, and
perhaps indulge in few Of the fading
joys of town.
Such is the story Of gum, the kind
of gum that makes the Yankee feel
like going back home whenever he

kind that puts to shame the sweetened

sARB WIRE TELEPHONE LINE.
Two Indiana Towns, Fifteen Miles
Apart, Successfully Connected.

Apart, Successfully Connected.
An Anderson. Ind, correspondent
writes: One of the most novel tele-
phone systems in the world is tho
"barbwire" line, which connects the
towns of Anderson, Pendleton and In
gals. 1t is fifteen miles In length. Its
inventor, builder and sole owner, Cas-
sius Alley OF Pendleton, Ind, now has
six subscribers at $50 year each.
The time is not far distant when there
will be ten-fold this number. Ono
clothing company at Anderson with
branch stores at Pendleton, and the
Wagner Glass Works, with Offices at
Anderson and factory at ingalls,, are
using this barb-wire system in their
business affairs exclusively. They use
the line frequently. They can convert
1t into a private line by plugs so ar
ranged that when one party is using
the line he can cut out all others except
in Mr.. Alleys residence, which is used
as central station. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that this barb-wire
telephone system is quite as satisfac-
tory as the copper circuit of the Bell
Ordinary phones are used with no
special strength OF battery and there
is very little trouble with the lines
In constructing the line Mr.. Alley
used the top strand of the barb-wire
fence of the Big Four railway, max
ing the connections with the offices
of his subscribers with ordinary tele-
phone wire. In somo instances where
the posts had rotted it was necessary
to paint the wire and posts with rub
ber paint to insulate the wire. The
whole line of fifteen miles was built
at cost Of about S100, and the outfit
for each house, consisting of receiver
transmitter battery, call, etc., costs
not over $40. The line has been in
operation since December %, and has
not been out of order except for few
hours when a fast train on the rail-
way track struck a COW, threw her
body against the fence and broke the
wire

HOW IT Is e&EhERED.

Living in a Rough camp, he walks
forth ITO the trackless woods every
mo---hg at daylight, and keeps going
nrt:l dark. He wears snowshoes, on
-.'nich he skins the surface of the
deep white carpet on the ground,
making his way from tree to tree, his
head up, scanning the brown trunks
for the little drops of congealed sap
that is known as spruce gum.
An expert gum gatherer can see
gum on the trunk of tree where the
novice would see none. He also knows
at a glance whether "teat" is worth
taking off or not, and that when it is
sometimes fifteen feet above his head.
AS it is impossible to reach most of
the gum on forest spruces without
some implement, the gum gatherer
has specially made gathering rod,
with which he brings down the golden
drops. This rod is generally in three
sections, so that its length may be
regulated to the height to be reached.
On the end of the rod is knife, and
beneath it is little pouch, such as is
used on q fruit picker, into which the
piece of gum drops after being de-
tached from the tree by the knife.
After getting all the gum on a tree,
and there is seldom more than an
ounce in the rough to be had from
even the best gum trees, the gum
gatherer goes on to the next tree
yielding gum.
Not all spruces yield gum. Many
of the trees have no gum on them at
all until the bark becomes broken or
there is some break around a limb,
allowing the sap of the tree to exude
and harden. Trees that have been
trimmed of their lower branches are
the best for yielding gum. Sections
where lumbermen have "swamped"
roads, or have been logging, are,
therefore, better, as a rule, for the
gum gatherer than the virgin forest,
where the gum trees are farthest
apart, and the gum hangs higher.
WHERE THE BEST GROWS.
There is a vast territory in Northern
Maine from which gum comes, region
larger than the State of Massachusetts,
covered by deep spruce forest, broken
only by lakes and streams. Out of
this region in the spring come many
