The Woman and Her Face.

Once upon time a woman had a
quarrel with her features because they
made ugly faces at her when she
looked In the glass. She scOlded and
scolded, but 1t all did no good.
Finally she sat in front Of her mir
ror, and with rouge, powder and black
pencil went deliberately to work to
show her face how wrong 1t was and
succeeded.
After q time she smiled smile of
intense satisfaction, and her face
smiled pleasantly back at her.

QUICK WORK WITH A SHARK
Three KanalSns Went Down and Got
Him While He Was Lsleep.


"The Kanakas of the Hawaiian Is
lands have about as much fear OF the
huge sharks that infest the Hawaiian
waters as we have OF One-mOnth-old
fox terrier pups" said naval officer
who recently returned from the Asiatlc
station by way of the islands. zone
morning n couple of months ago, when
our ship was lying in Honolulu harbor,
@ big banana barge propelled by three
muscular, fine looking, nearly nude
Kanakas, pulled alongside of us to
peddle the fruit among the men for
ward. Just as they got the barge close
to the ship the three Kanakas began TO
1abber excitedly in their queer, musical
language and to feel of the edges OF
the knives suspended by lanyards
around their necks.
"The ewes of those Kanakas were
keener than ours, and they had seen
big shark asleep directly beneath the
lighter. the water being so clear down
that way that objects can be seen
through 1t to a great depth. Ii didn't
take those three giant muscled Kama
kae more than ten seconds to shuilie
ont of their few clothes. Then they
removed the strings from their long
knives, grasped the knives in their
right hands, stepped gently over the
side of the lighter, hung to the gun
wales of the lighter with their lelt
hands for a moment or so, and then'
altogether, they gave that queer diving
wrIgcle to their legs in which they are
so expert and disappeared from the
surface. We couldn't see them going
down on account Of the cOmmotion
and CONSEQUENT bubbles they made III
the water
.Within about ten seconds after they
disappeared the bubbles that came &c
the surface began to take on the nue.
Of blood.
"'That about settles one kanaka' II
not the whole three of Them said we
on the gangway. The next thing we
saw was a gigantic shark thrashin9

ths lighter and incarnadining the sea
within a radius of fifty feet with it'
blood. Then the three Kanakas came
nm ALI I'm a bunch, like a trio OF jacks
in-the-box. with cOntented smiles OF
their faces. The shark thrashed arounC
for five or ten minutes, and at the enc
of that time he was as dead as any
sailed mackerel in n barrel, the entire
length Of him. The three Kanakas hat
tackled him altogether as he slept mac

of going after big sea game as ever

Eleventh Week of Strike.

Wilkesbarre. Pa, Special.-The be-
ginning Of the eleventh week Of the
anthracite miners strike finds ap'
parently no change in the situation.
although the rumor has been revived
that an effort will be made some day
this week to start up one OF the col
lieries. The companies have suffi-
cient number of coal and iron police
men enlisted now to prevent trouble,
should it arise. and all that would be
necessary to get a mine in operation
would be sufficient number of min
ers and laborers to blast the coal and
load it on the cars. No doubt plenty
OF ordinary laborers could be secured
but it is a question whether the re
Quisite number Of miners could be per-
suaded to 90 into the workings.
At strike headquarters the belief is
as strong as ever that the operators
cannot resume and that it is idle
talk to even suggest such a thing.
President Mitchell simply says that
the situation is about the same and
that the strikers are as firm as ever.
Three hundred delegates, represent
ing 10000 Polish and Lithunian resi-
dents of the Wyoming Valley, met in
convention here and after endorsing
the strike, appointed committee OF
10 to visit New York, Philadelphia.
Pittsburg, Buffalo and other large
cities and solicit aid from the Polish
and Lithunian people for their coun-
trvmen now on strike in the an

FOOD FOR PIGS.

Skimmilk and COrnmeaI Give Most
Economical Results.
Farmers as well as creamery owners
desire to know the value of separator
skimmilk for all feeding purposes.
The separator skimmilk when re-
turned to the farmers is ordinarily sold
by the creamery for Is cents per 100
pounds in New York state. Basing its
estimates on this valuation, the Cornell
station summarizes the results of eX-
periments in feelings pigs as follows:
In 1897 one pound increase of live
weight of pigs was made with IL
pounds of cornmeal and As pounds of
skimmilk. This was the most econom-
ical gain for the year.
In feeding potatoes to pigs during the
winter warm, dry quarters should be
furnished; otherwise potatoes, whether
cooked or uncooked, may do more harm
than good.
In 1898 the most economical gain was
made with cornmeal and skimmilk
when the proportion by weight of corn
meal to skimmilk was about to 8.
Bonemeal did not produce any appar-
ent results.
In 1899 the variations in individuals
were greater than the variations in the
different lots. The greatest gains were
made by the smaller pigs.
The most economic gains in 1899 were
made when cornmeal and skimmilk
were fed in the proportion of l pound
of cornmeal to 81 pounds of milk. One
pound increase in live weight was made
with 15 pounds of cornmeal and 10.4
pounds of skimmilk.
Molasses from beet sugar factory was
very unsatisfactory.
In 1900 most economical results were
obtained when l pound of cornmeal
was fed with 2.5 pounds of milk. The
amount of food required for one pound
gain i'll live weight was'2.6 pounds of
cornmeal and 6.S pounds of skimmilk.
Bonemeal seemed to produce beneficial
results.
