secure a firm grip on him he rarely

past week three fishermen of this city
have been cured of their disease, and
no more desire to fish. One of them
is ]. Edmonston, whose chance for
days sport on Labor day was ruined
by his boy losing the net with which
he was fishing for minnows under a
wharf. He determined to have an
other try, and so rigged up a coil or
grapple of barbed wire and undertook
to fish up his net. He pulled up lots
of brush and rubbish of all sorts,
which had collected under the wharf,
but could not catch his net. Finally.
as he was hauling up his grapple for
the last time, he heard something
drop and found that his costly hunt

train ten minutes. No, did not flag
it, but l just kept everyone waiting
all that time for me to get off. You

Was Same Old Mowe1

"a neighbor of mine at Bath Beach
last July" said ex-Sheriff Tom"
Dunn, used to bore everybody on
the train by bemoaning the vagaries
of his lawnmower. He had about ten
square feet of lawn that he used to
shave most conscientiously every 9TH
er day. His lawnmower, however,
seemed possessed Of a mischievous
demon of some sort. 1t would sulk
and refuse to go. Then. when he
started to investigate the cause of the
stoppage, it would start suddenly and
cut his finger to the bone. 1t would
alternately fail to cut the grass at all
and dig great burrows in the soft
turf He tried to sell it, but no one
would take it as a gift. At last, one
morning he showed me an advertise
ment in a Brooklyn paper offering for
sale at ridiculously low rate peer
less lawnmower that was warranted
to cut grass as evenly and as regu-
larly as a patent razor. The owners
address would be furnished at the
Office of the newspaper.

pensive dress, and l did not want to
tear it. | was nearly in tears until |
heard the conductor give the brake
man orders to hold the train, and
then nearly giggled myself into hys-

tussle. They told me to stand up,
hey told me to sit down. l expected
any minute that they'd tell me to
stand on my head before l was re-
leased. Meanwhile the other passen-
gers in the car had gathered around
and were offering assistance, and |
was nearly burning up with mortifica-
ton. Finally man with deft, careful
fingers pulled my skirt out bit by bit,
while the crowd audibly expressed
their admiration every time he had
gained half an inch. Finally he
wrenched the last bit out, and fled.

off and said admiringly:

tached, had dropped into the river on
account of his STOPPING too low. He
held his breath, and stopped hauling
at his grapple for minute, till he
had bet himself $500 that his watch
had not been caught in the grapple.
Then he pulled up slowly, and there
was his watch and fob, all right. He
let his net stay in the river, threw his
grapple away, and on the spot took a
solemn vow never again to fish for
anything, and to always consider his
last catch his record one. The other
two were cured of their mania by
walking ten miles in the dust, smoke
and heat down to the mouth of the
Willamette, and then pulling boat
for hours, fishing for bass, and never
getting even a bite. They are both
men of mature years and of sound
minds, and when they found out that
the slough is fished by farmers with
set nets every night, and the markets
supplied in this way, they put their
fishing tackle, including new bait
buckets away, and said they will fish
no more-Portland Oregonian.

Strong Youth Of Japan

One of the first things to impress
itself upon foreigner in Japan is the
popularity and the excellence OF the
physical training given to Japanese
youth. They are race of miniature
Spartans, and they have become so
through such patient, painstaking toll
and endurance as would appall the av-
eragc American youth, Injured to soft
nesses. The Japanese schools are
nearly all modelled after American in
stitutions, or, as the people like to be-
lieve, after composite of all that Is
best in the schools Of America, Eng
land, France and Germany. The stu
dents are not, of course, trained in
modern athletics, and could hold their
own at nothing of this kind with our
magnificent college boys, but in sim
pie physical training, making the very
best of what nature has provided, the
japanese excel any people | have ever
seen.

al characteristic, which belongs to the
lower classes and the great middle
class. The highest class in Japan Is
remarkable, alas! for physical weak
ness more than for physical perfec-
ton, a condition attributable to CEN
turtles of an extraordinary sedentary
mode of life. The ship on which |
crossed the Pacific ocean had not cast
her anchor in Yokohama harbor be-
fore she was surrounded by great
crowd-"swarm" better expresses it

propelled by single oar at the stern,
anil almost without exception handled
by boys apparently about twelve to
fourteen years old, and whose half
naked bodies, straining against the
heavy oars, looked as if they had been
modelled in bronze by some master
artist. Their training is the kind
which necessity forces upon the Ia
borer, of course, but it Is none the
less splendid, and will have no less
splendid effect upon the future Japan.

Popular Type Of Millinery.

Among the most popular hat shapes
in Paris are those known as Varennes.
True, they have been worn through
out the summer, but with lower
crowns than those now appearing. In
many cases the crown is conical or
funnel shaped, and it is point to be
observed that the trimming will con-
sist of a double band of velvet in
two shades, leaving the upper part Of
the crown visible, and plume Of
three feathers will be pinned in the
center of the front and caught with a
high narrow buckle.

The new ostrich and marabout fiat
boas and pelerines are wider than
ever, more extravagant in coloring
and command an exorbitant price.
Some of them are eighteen inches in
width, and have decided cape effect
in the back and over the shoulders.
This cape is in deep shade Of the
coloring selected, and the stole-ends
fade gradually until at the tips they
are almost pure white. The favorite
colorings are American Beauty red,
fading to pinkish white, burnt
orange, fading to palest lemon, and
rich seal brown, fading to a white
that suggests both pink and chocolate
color.

Chicken jelly.

Let two or three chickens cook slow
ly in small quantity of water until
the meat loosens easily from the bones,
and season with salt and pepper. AS
soon as it is cool enough to handle, re-
move bones and skin. Place the meat
in deep mold and use gizzard, liver
and heart. To the water left in the
kettle add half box of gelatine dis
solved first in little warm water, and
boil until reduced to about a pint.
Pour this over the chicken in the
mold and set away to cool. Cut in
slices with a very sharp knife.

Material for Dust Coats.


A great deal is said about the dur.
ability of mohair for dust coats. 1t
certainly has the advantage of she'd
ding the dust, but every drop of rain.
even after sponging, leaves it's mark.
Chanting, severely made but fash
ioned upon loose flowing lines, Leavily
stitched, with possible ornamentation
Of braiding or lace, is one of the most
successful garments of the hour. Of
tentimes a bit of color is introduced
into the coats in the collar or in the
cuffs. Each week more cloth coats are
seen, but these for the most part are
the three-quarter length garment,
loose and roomy and cut on rather
mannish lines. One of the new coats
is chiefly noticeable for the huge pock-
cts which are set on each side Of the
front just below the line of the bust.
Another cloth coat has an odd cape
passing over the shoulders, but rum
ming into the seams on each side Of a
box plait in the back. The knit home
spuns are also in evidence. The best
model has full belted back and loose
front, which may be either worn open
or buttoned back. The belt slips
through the side seams and passes un-
der the front.

COMING Skirt Fashions.

Skirts promise to be very full at the
hem. The plain full skirt which has
been such success during the sum-
mer season will be given new lease
of life, as will also this same model
trimmed with double ruches at the bot
tom. Not a few of the plated skirts
are stitched down about the hips to
form small yoke. In general, the
front breadths are left plain. Skirts
will also have attached flounces with
a heading of deep plaits or some other
form of trimming. Tailored gowns for
autumn will be built Of fnely-woven
fancy wools in indefinite checks and
plaids, or showing mixed grounds and
embroidered dots.

New Fashionable FrilI.

The swathed bodice will be among
the fashionable features of the new
styles. 1t will be made of silk, velvet
and other supple fabrics, the founda
tion naturally fitting the figure. But
whether swathed or not, the coming
tight-ftting bodice concludes in q
sharp, deep point in front; and many
of the new evening bodices are in the
old-fashioned style-slnall, tight-fitting
without sleeves, except for the drap
cry of lace or chiffon.
