l~l HE year that has just closed
| has brought the usual large
- number of improvements to
TO- our little city and the country
| III tributary. One would think
- that with SO many good dwell
lings and barns and other buildings
that thecountry and town now have, and
with omany new builtevery year, that
pretty soon no more would be needed.
But it seems that the improvements are
increased in magnitude each year. AT
such rate the time is not far distant
when Audubon and Audubon county
win be one of the best improved Sec
tions of Iowa.
1t is not claimed for the following
items, footing up total of S75. 900,
that they constitute all the improve
ments and building made in Audubon
and its vicinity during the past year,
neither do we claim absolute accuracy
in all the items, especially as to cost
of building and improvements. 1t is
simply as nearly complete and correct
as we could make it under the circum-
stances. Some of the prices necessar-
lily are only estimates. 1t is much
labor to collect all this matter, but
we thought it might be interesting to
many ofour readers. Allput togetherit
looks we'll for Audubon and this part
of the county. 1t shows we are keeping
up with the progressive times.

sea, the land end being tied in slip
knot to the bottom of the pole. As soon
as a fish is hooked its struggles cause
the bell to ring, whereupon the fisher
man runs to the pole, loosens the slip
knot and plays the fish until he has
drowned it, when it is hauled ashore.
In fishing for octopus the native dives
to the bottom and with stick pokes
around in the small holes in which the
octopus lives. When he touches one,
1t seizes the stick and allows him to
draw it out of the hole. When he
reaches the surface, the native grabs
1t with his hands and bites into the
head, thus killing the animal.

HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN.
Hands and Teeth Play n Part In
Capturing the Octopus.


Capturing the Octopus.
The native fisherman of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorn to use his hands to cap
ture his prey when occasion arises.
The bonito is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is OF mother of pearl, made
from the shell Of mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an rides
cence similar to the simmer from the
scales of the smaller kinds Of fish on
which the bonito lives, no bait is need
ed. The barb of these hooks is Of
bone, and two tufts of hogs bristles
attached at right angles to the barbed
end keep the inner side up, SO that the
hook lies fiat on, the surface of the
sea. When likely fishing ground
has been reached, the fisherman, stand
ing up In the canoe, casts out his line
violently, so that the hook falls with
a slap on the water and attracts the
attention OF the fish. The line and
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat, as though 1t were a spoon,
and the bonito, taking the hook to be
a small fish, rises to it Immediately.
1t is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in batting his
hook, for this method Of casting fright
ems the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes.
An ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting a
long pole on the shore in such posi-
ton as to cause 1t to lean decidedly to-
ward the water. On the top Of this
a bell is arranged SO that it can swing
clear of the top of the pole. A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to the top, and long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
the block and allowed to foat out to

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. EAT plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
years ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the conSumptive needs
most.
SCOTS EmulsioniSthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is too
rough for sensitive stomachs,
SCOTS Emulsion is the most
refined of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oiland hyPophos-
phite5 in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has special
action on the diseased lungs.

The Papuans of the Malay coast Of
New Guinea are still in the most prim-
itlve state They are wholly unac-
quainted with metals and make their
weapons of stone, bones and wood.
They do not know how to start fire,
though fire is used among them. When
a Russian asked them how they made
fire, they regarded it as very anus
ing and answered that when persons
fire went out he got some of neigh
Dor, and IL all the fires in the village
should go out they would get 1t from
the next village. Their fathers and
grandfathers had told them that they
remembered time or had heard from
their ancestors that there was time
when fire was not known and every
thing was eaten raw.
