Probably no branch of industry can lay
claim to greater antiquity than that OF
fishing. Its origin would seem to be CO.
eval with the earliest efforts of human
ingenuity. for the oldest monuments OF
antiquity show the fisherman in full pos
session of the implements of his calling
and even those tribes of savages which
have learned neither to keep locks moi
to till the fields are skilled in the fabriea-
ton Of the hook. the fish spear and the
net. The earliest civilization of the east
ern Mediterranean was begun with fish
ing. Sidon, which means FISHERY" was
originally fishing village. and its enter
prising inhabitants devoted their atten-
ton mainly to the collection of a certain
kind of mo!usks. from which they pre-
pared the famous Tyrian purple, priced
more highly for the richness and variety
of it's hues than any other dye known to
the ancients.

sn1tmaking In spain.

The Spanish method of producing salt,
as employed near Cadiz, is by allowing
the sun to evaporate the water from
what are known as ''pans," small ponds
prepared for the purpose of uniform
depth Of about eighteen inches. These
are flooded directly from the sea three or
four times year, and in time there is
left a deposit of about three inches of
salt, which is piled in the open in the
form of small pyramids until sold. This
method has the advantage of being mex
pensive and of not requiring machinery.
The only requisites are a hot sun and a
soil which will not permit the water to
filter through, as the salt in solution
would then be lost. Something depends
also upon the analysis of the water. For
instance, the water of the Mediterranean
has a greater specific gravity than that OF
the Atlantic.

A Mathematics Fangs.

You often hear of rendering rattle
snake harmless by pulling out its
fangs. Then. again, you read of cases
where a serpent so treated has bitten
persons fatally. The reason for this is
that a poisonous snake is deprived only
temporarily of it's venomous powers by
the extraction of the two incisors in
the upper Jaw at the bases of which
are the poison glands. OF course you
know that the fangs are hollow. so
that when the animal strikes the ven
ON gushes through them into the flesh
of the person struck. Now, by draw
ing the two teeth the snake may be
rendered harmless for a few weeks,
but after a short time the two teeth
just behind the original fangs move up
and take their places, making connec-
ton with the poison glands and thus
becoming poison fangs as good and eff
fective as the old ones.

Horses and Cold.

Colonel Sir T. II. Holdich. writing in
"The Indian Borderland" of the terrible
storms and wind and snow which over
take the traveller on the high passes of
the Herat mountains, remarks on the
superior power of the horse to with
stand cold. In one such storm over
twenty men persisted and many mules.
All the dogs with the caravan were
dead, but. so far as can remember,
no horses. Yet some of the chargers of
the Eleventh Bengal lancers got slowly
on their legs the day after the blizzard
literally sheeted with ice as an ironclad
sheeted with steel" 1t is fact worth
noting that the horse will stand cold
where mule or a camel will not and
where dog will die.

DRESS HINTS.

Brown eyes and brown dress go vel
together.
The tan shades are not often suitable
for slim figures.
Black satin intensifes the effect Of
round shoulders.
Blue eyed girls should wear blue as
often as possible.
A small toque is excessively unbecom
ing above large round face.
The color of the eyes should determine
the choice of the dress and millinery.
A little woman with a thin face may
fancy herself in a Gainsborough hat, but
she is very wrong very wrong.
Stripes narrower than an inch wide
tend to make one look slim; wider than
an inch they increase ones breadth.
Dull black is the best choice for fail
haired woman, while a brunette must or
der something brilliantly black if she
really wishes to look her best.
A blond may wear pure white with
advantage, but brunette nearly always
looks better in cream colored fabrics
This ought to be more generally recog
nized.
Tucks and stripes running downward
become the Juno type of woman, but the
thin, angular beauty should have the
stripes and tucks running around hel
dress, and she will be surprised to hnd
how much her appearance will be I'M
proved.

A Eight IN GREENWICH.
The Difference Between 1t and the
"FOreign" Street Conflicts.

'FOreign" Street Conflicts.
The girl was from the south, and the
man had been showing her New York.
They had been "doing" the various quar-.
tiers which have sprung up here and
there in the lower part of Manhattan.
They had wandered through streets
where the windows are painted in strange
Greek letters. They had tasted chop suey
in Chinatown, and she had shuddered at
the sight of an opium den. Then down
short, narrow street they turned into Old
Mulberry bend, where thousands of ltal-
ians were congregated for a breathing
spell.
She had not talked much during their
wanderings, but she looked a great deal
and was evidently thinking.
How these children ightr' she ex
claimed as they came upon two Italian
boys who were hammering one who was
smaller than either. Cant you make
them fight fair?"
He stopped the fight with difficulty and
found that they were trying to make the
smaller boy give up a nickel which he
had found in the street. "These foreign
ers don't know anything about fighting
fair, as we call il" he said.
"Haye we seen all the quartersP she
asked.
There's the American quarter"

stand How can you have an American
quarter in this American city,"
Because there are so many foreigners
in this part of town. Our American quar-
ter holds about 10000 people. In the
days when the city was small it was
Greenwich village, then the old Ninth
ward. Let's go over there"
They crossed town on a car and got out
at Jefferson market A few blocks
brought them into the quarter. The peo-
pie were almost as poor as any they had
seen in the foreign quarters. But there
was difference. They were cleaner, they
held up their heads, and the children
were less noisy about their play. They
turned a sharp corner which brought
them into a square, in the center Of which
stood crowd of boys.

difference"
The boys had formed ring. in the cen
ter of which two youths of practically
equal weight were fighting. One boy
held a watch and at the end of three
minutes called time. Both boys stopped
fighting until told to begin again When
they had been fighting perhaps fifteen
minutes both began to show signs of Sc
we're punishment. Then an older boy
stepped into the ring.
"You kids have been fghtin' long
enough" he said. "Stop it or you'll hurt
each other. l give the fight to 'Reddy.
The boys stopped at once, and there
was nothing more said about it. Freddy"
didn't crow over his victory, but took 1t
as matter of course. The crowd melted
away.

girl, 1.-THE way Americans should fight.

How a New York Artist Managed to
Secure Suitable Apartments.
An agent for q large apartment hdtel
on West Thirt1eth street, near Fifth ave
nue., was approached the other day in his
Office by young man who desired to look
at an apartment with a view to leasing
it. The agent and the stranger spent au
hour or more in the building and inalis
the young man agreed that the suit or
the very top floor was just what he want
ed. The terms were agreed upon, and the
prospective tenant was to occupy them
on the Monday following.
''I'm an artist" he told the agent, land
that is why l like the top floor. There is
plenty of light"
The agent concurred.
"Now, one very important thing had
forgotten" he went on. "There is a
young lady who will visit me for several
hours every day. She poses for me
Would there be any objection?"
'There most certainly would be-" an
swered the agent. "In the first place,
couldn't rent the apartment to you under
those conditions, and in the second place
know the other tenants would object.
The artist tried to explain that all art
lists had to have models, but the agent
would not consent that the models could
pose in the house for which he was re-
sponsible.
'I'm sorry" said the artist finally, ''fol
/ never expect to find more suitable
building for studio"
"I'm sorry too," responded the agent.
Then the two men parted.
The next day found the artist again in
the agents office. In company with hin
was beautiful young woman who looked
radiantly happy, and the redolence OF
orange blossoms seemed to permeate the
room.
'Well," began the young man as soor
as the agent appeared, '1've fixed it so il
will be all right and so the other tenants
can't object This is the young lady

she's both my model and my wife.

produced the manuscript.
"Now, if you have any contracts tt

''But how do you and your wife expect

The astonished bridegroom and the sur
prised bride looked at each other il

QUAINT COLLEGE LAWS.
Rules Prescribing the Dress of Har-
ward students In Bygone Days.

Rules Prescribing the Dress of Har-
ward Students In Bygone Days.
The curious laws regarding students
dress which prevailed at Harvard up to
the middle of the last century are illus
trated by two eighteenth century waist
coats which are among the collections
of the Boston Art museum. One was
worn by member of the class of 1740
and the other by his son in 1884.
The latter waistcoat is olive green in
color conforming to the college regula-
lions, which required either blue gray,
plain black, ''nankeen'-a kind of buff
or olive. The coat and breeches which
originally went with it, as one may
read in the old time Harvard Laws"
were blue gray. Freshmen of that date
were allowed only plain buttonholes,
sophomores leaped to the dignity of
having buttons on their cuffs, juniors
might have inexpensive frogs to their
buttonholes except that they might not
have them on their cuff buttonholeS,
and the senior enjoyed frogs, button
holes and buttons complete. Seniors
and juniors were permitted also to
wear black Oxford gowns, such as are
worn at graduation today, and might
gown" or dressing gown, was per-
MISSILE on certain unimportant occa-
sions. 1t cost mot more than 10 shil-
lings" for every appearance of gold or
silver adornment.
The rules of costume were changed,
of course from time to time. In 1923,
for example, the prescribed dress con-
sisted of a black mixed coat, single
breasted, with a rolling cape square
at the end and with pocket flaps, the
waist reaching to the natural waist,
with lapels of the same length" 1t is
explained that ''black Mixed" called
also Oxford mixed, was black with not
more than one-twentieth nor less than
one-twenty-tifth part of white. The
senior was allowed to support his dig
nifty with three "crow's feet of black
silk cord on the lower part of his coat
sleeve. Two crows feet were permitted
to the Junior, one to the sophomore and
none at all to the freshman. The waist
coat was of black mixed or of black or,
when of cotton or linen fabric, of white;
single breasted. with standing collar.
The pantaloons were of black mixed.
