We airing Mems Clothes.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 13.-Ac-
cording to the officers of the ship John
A. Briggs, at Philadelphia from Port
Townsend with a cargo of Oregon pine,
there is a fine opening on Pitcairn Is
land, in the Southern Pacific, for an en-
terprising capitalist, well supplied with
a wide variety of women's clothes. The
Briggs touched at the island and found
there about $50 persons, about two
thirds of whom We're women, nearly all
descendants of the mutineers of the
good ship Bounty.
The natives told a moving tale about
the straits to which the women were
reduced through their inability to Sc
cure the customary apparel of their sex.
There are no dresSmakers on the island,
and rs the infrequent vessels which
stop there are freight carriers on which
no women are carried, the supply of
feminine dress coming from the outside
world is necessarily limited.
In this extremity the women have
been driven to adopt male garb, of
which there is always an abundance.
/ Nearly al Those seen by the Briggs
officers wore coats and trousers, In
which comfort rather than fit seemed
to be aimed at. Touched by this I'M
wonted sight, the crew of the ship made
a thorough search for any old dresses
hosiery, underwear, and other articles
of clothing that might have been left
| by wives of former masters of the
Briggs and presented such as they
could find to the Pitcairn women. In
return they were rewarded by the
grateful natives with gifts of large
quantities of vegetables and fruit

Its deslrabllity as bait presents such

thought the worms became aware Of
the approach of an enemy by the jar
ring of the ground alone; then some
one who went to get worms IN the
dark found that, II he stood perfectly
still, the worms would still try to hide
as soon as the light from his lantaGn
fell upon them. Careful search with
the microscope revealed the fact that
most worms have small organs that
serve for eyes all over their skin.
These rudimentary eyes are merely
pits sunken in the epldermis. and COW
cred with bit OF thickened cuticle,
which, being nearly transparent, serve
as a kind OF lens for concentrating
the rays of light on these spots, Just

a rainy day not very long ago the

could tell him where he could find a
rent for a friend OF his that wanted to
move Into the city from a neIghborIng

into his team with him and he would
show him the rent. The truckman
drove slowly along the different streets

he drove up before the grain mans

promised to show me7" said the grain
man, with considerable Indignation.
Why. there II is" said the truckman.

although the grain man was chaffed
considerably about rents. he took 1t
all good-naturedly. and patiently bided

the joke had almost been forgotten.
the truckman was employed by the
grain man to go TO the outskirts OF the
city and get a trunk and bring 1t TO
the store. 1t was long ride out to
the place. and the rain made 1t all the
more uncomfortable. Arriving at the
place. the trunk was put in the team,

at the store. only to be informed that
he was to take It to another place,
where the proprietor of the grain store
would be found. Arriving at the last

where he wanted the trunk put, and
