Unluoky Little Charms.

Unlucky charms. The Parisienne
has an idea that when all else fails
these must bring her good fortune,
and so she collects these curious little
emblems with an eagerness not often
displayed. A round tablet Of gold on
which the number Is is largely mark
ed serves as one; a similar little plague
has large eye upon it, assuredly an
evil eye; a peacock's tail feather in
enamels; a little bunch Of bright green
ribbons; tiny pair of crossed knives
suspended from a ring; mirror charm,
cracked right across the center-all
these and many others are used worn
hanging on to a ring Of gold, says
Home Chat. By day they are caught
in the corner of handkerchief bag or
purse; at night, If not secreted in the
folds of a corsage they will hang con-
spicuously in miladi's boudoir.

GlLL-NET FISHING.

1t Is a Precarious, Peri1ous, Hard
Toiling, Fascinating Occupation.
A gill net is merely an immense
strip Of web quarter of mile long
by thirty-fiye feet deep, fioated in the
water by cork buttons fastened along
the upper edge. The tides carry it
down to the sea and back again, the
men following and watching in the
boat, day and night, rain or storm, dur
ing the fishing season, visiting the
shore only occasionally for supplies or
to mend their nets. They sleep in a
little tent at the end Of their clumsy
boat, boil their coffee over a bit Of a
kerosene stove and fish without ceas-
ing. Salmon, swimming against the
tide, thrust their heads through the
meshes Of the net and are caught at
the gills A cork on the surface some
times gives sign of their struggles, and
the men in the boat either come i'm
mediately, pull up the net at that spot,
and with gaff hook bring the big
fellow Topping and bloody into the
boat, or else they wait until many
fish are entangled and pull them all
in together with the net. Sometimes,
when the run is large, they catch
scores, even hundreds, Of fish in a
day. but sometimes they travel up and
down with the tide for days and take
nothing. AT slack tide they bring in
their fish to the scow of the company,
and are credited with the tally Of their
catch. SO season by season they earn
5000 or $500.
Though fishing in a river, dangers
constantly beset these gill-netters, and
fisherman's door, Most of the acct.
dents occur at the mouth of the river,
where the waves sweep in, white-cap-
ped, from the open Pacific. Here the
fishers, seeking to set their nets out
to sea in order to get the first Of the
run Of fish, are sometimes capsized,
losing their lives, sometimes their
nets, and even their heavy boats At
other times storms, driving in from the
ocean, overwhelm them at their fish
ing in the river itself. Snags catch
and tear their nets, and great vessels
run them down, and sometimes, carry
ing off their entire nets, sweep away
the savings of years. It Is a precari-
Gus, perilous, hard-toiling occupation,
and yet the occasional large earnings,
glittering before their eyes like the
winnings of a gambler, lure them al
ways manufacturing.
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1903-07-22

mediately the servant girls federated
themselves ana with the aid Of the
social democrats compelled the law
committee Of the folkething to drop
the DISTINGUISHING clause.
A striking feature of the last munic-
ipal elections of South Australia was
the heavy vote polled by women, in
South Melbourne especially. In Nal
verne 60 per cent of the women voted
and 81 per cent of the men.
Adolphe Brisson, son-in-law of Fran
cisque Sarcey, has made an appeal to
the French government to establish a
girls school of high art at the Villa
Medici in Rome. His petition was
signed by 10000 French women. Rec.
ords show that in the seventeenth cen.
fury there were woman academicians,
and in this twentieth century M. Bris-
son wishes to establish modern fem
mime academy.
News comes from London that the
women textile workers have revolted
at the careless and unjust legislation
against them, and have demanded the
franchise. The Lancaster female
spinners' petition to parliament insfav-

ZEN in Church Government.

Women in Church Government.
The question of the eligibility of
women to serve on vestries is good
deal discussed nowadays in the coun-
ellis and conventions Of the Episcopal
church. The vestrymen are the civil
officers Of their churches, and, unlike
the wardens, do not necessarily incur
the imputation Of piety by holding
office. Their most important duty Is to
see to it, with the warden's help, that
the temporal affairs of the church are
prudently conducted and the bills paid.
Strong churches, in cities, commonly
have no trouble in getting suitable YES
trymen, but weak churches are often
hard put to it to fill out decently their
tale of officers, because while they may
have fit women enough to manage
their concerns, there are sometimes not
enough men who are decently available
even as figureheads. 1t is not ques-
ton who shall have the power, for that
is commonly determined not by office,
but by force of position, energy and
chara cter Women have voice enough
in churches. 1t is only question
whether they shall act directly or in
directly. In most of the older church
es tradition and conservative sentiment
favor the employment Of men to pass
the plate and perform the other official
acts, but in the newest church Of all
that Of the Christian Scientists-the
power and the glory seem to have gravi
tated so overwhelmingly to Womenkind
that it/may be no need is felt to prefer
men as the representatives Of church
government. The question is curious
rather than important, and, however
the church authorities settle it, the in
dispensable support of pious women
will not fail them, nor will the wishes
Of the churches indispensable support
ers fail to be respected -Harper's
Weekly.

An idea Upon Raising Funds.

A lady writes the editor Of the
Homestead, Des Moines, Iowa, giving
her opinions upon good roads and a
way in which they may be secured,
thus:
"a good deal Is being said at the
present time concerning the best meth
cd Of raising funds to construct good
roads. wish to say in the outset that
while I have no objection to help from
the government Or State, I think it is
a little too far off to be as practica BILE
as some appear to think. It would be
much more practicable to have our
next General Assembly pass law pro-
viding for the submission Of the ques-
ton to the legal voters of district,
such as township or county, to vote
q tax on themselves not to exceed 3
per cent on their taxable property and
not over / per cent of which should be
paid in any one year, to be used in
the building Of good roads on plan
similar to the present law in our code
for the dear people to vote a tax on
themselves to help pay for the building
Of railroads. The more especially as
the people could ride on the public
roads after they were made, free Of
additional charge, and If the people
want to ride on railroad that they
help build they must pay for the priv
ilege. Let me illustrate by supposing
that the people Of our country outside
of the county seat should vote tax
for good road building Of i per cent
per annum for one year, which, ac-
cording to the county auditors report
for the year 1901, gives the taxable
value Of all property in the county
townships as $5,185, 40, to which add
the taxes Of the towns, in all $44O,-
$50, making $5,626,O90, and tax of /
per cent would raise $56,260.9O, or
some over $1,000 per mile for two good
roads across the county. AS the coun-
ty seat is the center or hub to which
all principal roads would lead built by
the county tax and not being taxed
for county road purposes, the city
would raise tax large enough to build
paved streets through the town to meet
the good roads as they approached the
city. thus connecting the good roads
that would pass through the county.
The money so raised, 1 think, it spent
properly under the supervision of the
board Of county supervisors, would
make the amount Of ten good roads
across one county on which a little
over $1,000 per mile has been spent,
which amount, added TO the road as
now improved and using the material
such as sand or gravel placed on the
/ ditched or graded roads, would be
quite as important to our road system;
and If the road so improved were
properly located would be a help to
all the people of the county in getting
to and from the centers of trade and
business, I think we should first use
the material at hand for making good
roads,"
