Women Attract Needles,

"When / fret began to teach young
lad les" said an instructor in physics. 81
was puzzled by the erratlc way my various
electrical machines conducted themselves
on girls approach.
81 considered this matter long while.
l couldn't understand why a staid and
sober apparatus should suddenly hop and
veer about like mad when a pretty girl
came near it. In the case of young man,
now-but in the case of a machine the
problem was insoluable.
Zone day the solution forced itself upon
me. We were conducting that morning a
very delicate experiment and the sligt test
divigation of the need lie was runous to us.
But the needle hoped and jumped and
leaped, crazier than ever, when the cir
came near; but with one girl it did not do
80.
"She was supple, 1.-the girl, and I
whispered to he that she alone did not af-
feet the needle, and said couldn't make
the thing out at all.
"Can't you? Well cam said she.
Explain, then, said l.
sand she explained, bushing:
swell, professor, l am the only girl in
tbs, class who doesn't wear stays. 1t is the
steel stays that affect your electric needle

The Quest for the Pole.
Philadelphia Press.


Until the North Pole is reached, Its win
ming will be an honor no land no people
will be willing to yield to another. When
Tacitus makes the Roman Agricola declare
that it would be glorious death to meet
ones fate seeking earth's utmost verge he
spoke the sporting spirit of masterful
races.
This spirit has kept this country to the
forefront of Arctic discovery for fifty
years. When Commander Pearv speaks
tonight before our Geographical Society,
it may well be remembered with just pride
that those he addresses began the aid
which permitted his first expedition and
have never ceased to take generous pride
and interest in his success.
This work must 90 on. The conditions
of the problem are nov clear. Some Sum-
mer the sea by Spitzenberg will be open
enough for a dash to the pole, or some
Win Ter the icy belt north of Greenland
will be left firm enough for the fortunate
explorer who makes the first successful
march.
Such success is now certain some day
Mere experiment is over. Only successive
and persistent trials are needed, and Of the
two paths, the one Commander Peary has
made his own is by far the most favorable
ro.night's meeting of the Geographical
Society ought t. begin the task Of putting
him again on this winning trail

A CENTRAL PLANK.

The Winchester "News" in a recent
editorial says:
There is no reason why all the Demo
Gratis in the country may not unite in 1904
on platform whose central plank shall
be tariff for revenue only"
That is the same kind of central plank
the Democracy united on in 1892. They
fooled the people into the mistake of put
ting them in power, "tarif for revenue"
was put in operation and disaster and sor-
row came upon the country.
Then, in 1896 the Democrats made the
free silver fake the central figure in their
platform and failed to win upon it, In
1900 the Democracy made imperialism
the central plank in their platform. They
failed to win on that; and now they will
return to their old chestnut, tariff for
revenue only" and again M axe it a
central plank" in their plufoc II.

Equal Rights in Trade.
Philadelphia Press.


Attorney General Knox plants himself
on unQuestionaUle ground when he de-
lnands in bis letter to the chalrmen of the
Senate and House Judiciary Committees
equal rights in trade for all.
This is the basal principle in the trust
problem. Attorney General Knox does
not 90 beyond it. He does not, like Sen
ator Hoar, propose new and extreme
penalties for State corporations. lie does
not by ndirection transfer these corpora
lions from one sovereignty to another. he
does not seek to bring all the traffic and
all the manufacture of the country under
Federal supervision by providing a
Federal license for entry into interstate
commerce, as does Senator Hoar's bill
Attorney General Knox instead confines
himself to discrimination. On railroads
Ills is already partially suppressed. BY
levying penalty on the man or company
who receives lower rate, as well as on
the road which gives it, the Attorney
General proposes to suppress it altogether
The machinery used TO suppress dis
elimination in rates, he urges, should be
applied to discrimination in price. Lastly
he recommends that as railroads statistics
are now collected by the Interstate Com
merce Commission so a new commission
shall collect trust statistics.
These propositions are midway between
the plans of those who desire to see the
innocuous provisions of the Sherman anti
trust act remain on the statute book and
those who, like Senator Hoar, urge eX-
treme and drastic measures. Gradually
out of this discussion certain principles
appear. The trust problem requires the
exact collection of all the facts in regard
to prices and transactions in interstate
by new agency or commission. Dis
elimination in prices with intent to create
a monopoly should be prohibited as rigidly
as discrimination in railroad rates.
The best way in which to secure the last
object still remains subject for discussion
and determination.

FISH WITH THEIR HANDS.
One of the Several Meth o DIS Employed
by the Hawaiian Natives in
Waking Rdg Fish.

A preliminary report on an tnvesti-
CATION of the fisheries of the Hawaii
an Islands made by David Starr Jor-
dan president of Leland Stanford
Junior university, and DR.. Barton W.
Eyermann, ichthyologist of the United
States commission of fish and fisheries,
which is now made public in the form
of a departmental bulletin, contains
much interesting information concern
ing the customs and methods of fish
ing of the natives of the island, says
the New York Times.
Probably the most interesting side
of the native fisheries revealed in the
report is that which relates to fishing
with hook and line and with the hands.
The bonito is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is Of mother-in-pearl, made
from the shell of a mollusk now quite
rare which glistens with an iridescence
similar to the simmer from the scales
of the smaller kinds of fish on which
the bonito lives, no bait is needed. 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 fat on
the surface of the sea. When likely
fishing ground has been reached the
fishermen, standing 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 it were a
spoon, and the bonito, taking the hook
to be a small fish, rises to it immed-
lately. 1t is fortunate for the fisher
man that he has to waste no time in
batting his hook for this method Of
casting frightens the school and the
fish disappear within ten or IS minutes.
An ingenious plan by which very large
fish are caught is by planting long
pole on the shore in such position as
to cause it to lean decidedly toward
the water. On the top Of this bell
is arranged to the pole close to the
top, and a long line, with baited hook
at the cad, is run through the block
and allowed to float out to sea, the
land end being tied in shpknot to the
bottom of the pole. As soon as fish
is hooked it's struggles cause the bell
to ring, whereupon the fisherman runs
to the pole, loosens the sIpknot, and
plays the fish until he has drowned 1t,
when it is hauled ashore.
"In fishing for octopus" says the re-
port, "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 SEXES 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"
Pure Water.
To purify large quantities of water
in case a filter is not obtainable it ~
a good plan to use alum, for this will
cause all impurities to sink to the
bottom, when the clear water at the
top may be poured of and will be fit
for use. One tablespoonful of alum
will be required for four gallons of
water. 1t must be stirred in thor
oughly and then allowed to settle

As mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the whole

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 EmulsioniSt hemod-
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 oil and hyPophos-
phiteS in SCOTS Emulsion
