The Most Widely Read Newspaper in
America.

Time has demonstrated that the
Ihyice-a- Week World stands alone
in its class. Other papers have i'm
itated it's form but not its success.
This is because it tells all the news
all the time and tells it impartially,
whether that news be political or
otherwise. 1t is, in fact, almost a
daily at the price of weekly and
you cannot afford to be without it..
Republican and Democrat alike
can read the Thrice a. Week WorAa
with absolute confidence in its
truth.
In addition to news, it publishes
! first-clas serial stories and other
features suited to the home and
fireside.
The 7hriee-a. Week WorIfS reg
nlar subscription price is only SI.oo
per year and this pays for I56 pa
pers. We offer this unequalled
newspaper and THE COLUMBIAN
together for 81. 10.

WORK OF DIVERS.
Develops an Abnormal Craving for Food
While Under Water

Can anyone of scientific turn of
mind explain why the work Of u sub
marine diver should superinduco an
exaggerated sensation Of hunger?
The fact is well recognized by mem-
bers Of the profession, and was
vouchcd for especially by the late
Capt. Conrad, the New Orleans diver,
who died a few months ago as the re-
suit Of work in the Maine wreck in
Havana harbor The captain said
that the moment he was fully sub
merged his stomach got busy with
itself, and before he had finished his
trick Of work vision, OF succulgnt food
SO filed the water all about his glass
peephole that he could scarcely tell q
torpedo cable from link Of wiener
wuerst. lie was inclined to the opin-
ion that the air and water pressure,
but more especially the latter, turned
q mans head just trifle, and that in
some unexplainable way the attack Of
bugs took the form OF hunger. That
theory appeared to be supported by
the case Of sponge diver near Key
West which came under the captains
personal knowledge. The sponge
fishermen are mostly mixed breeds,
and generally worked in couples. two
going down at time, diving, Of
course, zen nature without suits or
air tubes. One day the gang was
working on one OF the south Florida
sponge banks, when one of the men
rose suddenly to the surface, let out
howls OF pain and the water was soon
tinged with blood, Everybody
thought a shark had cut in on the
line, but presently the divers part
ner came TO the surface also and was
busy explaining for some time there
after. lie had simply taken bite
out of his friends shoulder while they
were down lS feet beneath the gulf.
He and his partner were the best Of
friends, and his only excuse was that
he was hungry and could not resist
nipping tempting morsel out of his
chum's shoulder. Perhaps if sharks
could be cured Of their diving habit
they might reform from their blood
thirsty habits, and it is also suggested
that the same cause renders the small
boy omniverous after he has been
swimming.-N. o. Tines Democrat.

pry.PicLinx for Market.

When dry-picking turkeys or other
poultry for market be careful to re-
move the pin-feathers. The carcasses
are "plumped" by throwing them into
ice-cold water, allowing them TO re-
main in the water four or five hours
or longer, then hanging them up, heads
down, TO drip and dry, keeping them In
a cool place. DO not scald dry-picked
birds. While the dry.picklng method
gives the birds the best appearance for
market, for home use the best anc
easiest mode is to quickly scald them
then remove the feathers, and also the
entraiis. II "plumped" IL should bs
done before drawing the entrails. The
scalding process cleans the skin and
also saves labor.--Farm and Firssids
