NEW UMBRELLA PLATE

The advantage of having an UNI
brella marked with ones own name
and address will be conceded by any
one, but there are few persons who are
systematic enough to go to the trouble
of having this done. A scheme has
just been devised by a resident of this
city by which any person who can
handle a pen is qualified to mark his
own umbrella, says the Philadelphia
Record. 1t consists of double ring OF
metal, one placed inside the other and
designed to be fitted around the han

Man Who Gathers Spruce Gum.

There are many strange occupations
by which persons gain a living, and
one Of these is that of gathering chew
ing gum. There are few men in
Maine who follow this vocation AMI
make a good livelihood out of it. or
course, what they gather is spruce
gum, and they pass the greater part
of their time in the lonely woods. 1t
is not necessary to say that their lives
are most monotonous. The gum pick
er, as he is called, carries with him
an outfit of several poles and knives.
a pair or two of snowshoes, a small
dog, couple of blankets and a pair
of climbers like those used by tele-
graph linemen. In October he goes
into the woods to study the spruce
growth. He travels alone and seeks
out the places where storms have in
branches are the ones that furnish
the largest supply of gum. He can go
up giant spruce tree like a cat and
gather all the gum there almost be-
fore you know 1t. He is an expert
workman. A professional gum hunter
can make from So to So a day when
he strikes a really good gum country.
He works all winter and in the spring
he leaves his lonely haunts in the
woods. and with his bags and bags
of spruce gum hastens to the nearest
city to sell his harvest.-Chicago Rec

The London Saturday Review is
taking comfort in the belief that war
is bound to come between the United
States and Germany over the Monroe
Doctrine. It thinks that our unreas-
enable conduct in refusing either to
steal South America ourselves or to
allow anybody else to steal 1t would
justify Europe in suppressing us as
common nuisance. And, really,
when you look at it from that point
of view, our course must seem incom-
prehensible and exasperating.

The silk industry expands" to fit
the nation. In his annual report to the
Silk Association of America, the secre-
tary points out that more than five
times as much capital is invested as
In 1870, and there are more than FIVE
times as many operatives in our mills.
We import almost six times as much
raw silk as we did then, but our inn
ports of manufactured silk have fallen
from nearly dollar per capita in 1870
to about forty cents per capita in 1900.
The fact that We import less is credit
able to our common sense.

Government trials of plans for the
destruction of mosquito pests have
led to the recommendation of certain
measures which have proved most eff
ficient. They are the draining, where
ever possible, of marshes and pools
of stagnant water; the spreading Of
kerosene on all such bodies of water
as cannot be drained, and the intro
duction of sticklebacks, minnows and
other small fish.

THE HOTEL DETECTIVE.
His chief DUTY Il Not Hunting Crime,
But Guarding Guests.

But 6uarding OueStss
The duties of a hotel detective are
not arduous, and his greatest value to
the guests is as a cicerone. He is sup
posed to know the city thoroughly, to
be an authority on the theaters and to
be able to direct men who want to
gamble to places where they can find
square games" One hotel detective
who was discharged not long ago was
said to have made nearly $4,000 a
year in tips from guests and commits
sions from gambling houses. He was
able to do the latter many a good
turn, and they showed their apprecia-
ton for his work by paying him lib
orally. Nominally he was engaged by
the proprietor OF the hotel to preserve
order, but in reality he was expected
to make himself generally useful to
visitors. He must know where to pilot
