Bunch Of Skeleton Keys Found.
In cleaning out bureau at the Ar
gyle hotel at Charleston, a few days
ago, bunch of keys were found Sc
creted, which, it is presumed, were
hidden by E. C. Rosse, alias G. =.
Ross, who occupied the room last Feb
ruary at the time of his arrest on the
charge of robbing the state rooms OF
the Clyde steamer Arapahee, and was
later convicted and sent to the penl-
tentiary at Columbia for one year,
which term Ross is now serving.
The discovery of the keys SHOWS
that the fellow was professional
sneak thief, as was proven at the trial,
and the court made no, mistake in
sending him up to Columbia.

! mind and judgment if they happen
to have any
There is no reason a servant should
not be treated as nationally as anv
other employe. 1t is but. right the
mistress should require that certain
work should be done by certain
time, but after that, why not leave
them free to do it in their own way?
Every one who has ever tried if
knows that the most aggravating and
nerve rasping thing in the world is to
have some one stand over YOU while
you work, with a continual flow OF
suggestions. Put pinch more spice
IN, Don't use quite SO much sugar"
Roll the crust a little thinner" 1t
Is enough to drive one crazy, and there
is no wonder too many cooks spojl so
much good broth. If the mistress
would attend to her business a little
more In the house, and let the cook
run mere a little more in the kitchen.
we shouldn't have to get up so MANY
mornings and cook breakfast because
servant lady had taken herself and
her outraged feelings to some other
woman with other ways"
one of the saddest effects of our
not attending to our own business is
the perennial family row. We speak of
1t as lack of sympathy, of unfilial con-
duct, we give this and that high flown
reason, but the plain truth of the mat
ter is that at the bottom of nearly
every one of the family quarrels that
are so pathetic and so cruel in their
arrangements, is some woman who
wouldn't mind her own business. A
man marries, and the woman he
brings into his family has been reared
differently, and has different ideas
about cooking, or politics, or religion.
from the women of his own family.
1t might be thouoht that the world
was big enough and wide enough for
them all to find occupation and
amusement without attempting to in
terfere with each other But not so.
First thing anybody knows, his moth
ers or sisters begin to try to regulate
his Wife's table or wardrobe, or man
age her children for her Or perhaps
she starts out on a missionary cam
paign to try to educate her husband S
people up to her blue china standard.
Anyway, trouble begins right there,
and peace packs it grips and departs
on the lightning express for parts III
known. Every living woman has seen
this thing happen over and over again,
but no woman has learned anything
from it.

OF course, we shall have no more
gossip when we learn to attend to our
own business. We shall be occupied
in paying our own bills instead Of
wondering how other people can pay
theirs. If MIR. Clubman is out of
nights, we shan't spend the time in
plying his poor wife. and specializing
if her cooking or temper drove him
to drink. We shall merely presume
the clubman knew his own business
and. at any rate. it isn't any of our
affair. We shall be able to come ana
go as we please, without taking the
neighborhood into our confidence or
offering explanation or apology, for 50
long as we infringe on no one elses
rights, no one will trouble themselves
about our movements. And what
a peaceful, easy, restful time we shall
have, If only we can learn to min3

THE NEW PALMER SCHOONER

The tive-masted schooner Singleton Palm
er, launched at Waldoboro April 10th,
is the tenth vessel in the William F. Palm
er fleet The Singleton Palmer is 27O #.
keel, 81 it. registered length, as #. beam,
q it. in. depth of hold with gross ton
mage of 1853 tons. She is to be given a
rating in the American Record as A1* for
sixteen years, and will be the first Ameri-
can schooner to be given this additional
rating of one year over other vessels built
of wood. This is because she is a semi
composite type of construction; that is,
she is strapped with iron outside the frame
so that the strapping becomes pure truss
to hold the sides of the schooner in position.
This rating will also be extended to the
schooner Dorothy Palmer, says the Bath
Times, and might we'll be extended to the
schooners Paul Palmer and Prescott Palmer
as they are of the same type. The latter
craft was built at the New England yard,
Bath. This extra year of rating was not
applied for by the owners, but was offered
by the American Record to encourage the
semi composite type of schooner. The
sails of the Singleton Palmer are made of
triple zero canvas and about II, 900 yards
were cut in the making. Another feature
of the Singleton Palmer is that all head
chains are galvanized, also bilge bolts in
the hull and both edge bolts and face bolts
in the ceiling.

bolas is the plaything of his childhood,
as the sling is OF the Bolivian gamin,
and to display skill in its management
has been the pride of his youth; so that
it is no wonder that he can project the
balls an incredible distance with un-
erring accuracy of aim, in such way
that the thongs will wind around the
legs of the unlucky object struck,
whether man, beast or bird, with suffi-
cient force to bury itself in the flesh.
The method of throwing an animal
with the bolas has thus been graphical
ly described. ''The right hand only is
used; and this grasps the thongs at
their point of union about half way be-
tween the ends. The balls are then
whirled in a circular motion around
the head, and when sufficient centrifu-
gal power has been obtained, the wea-
pom is launched at the object to be cap
tured. The aim is matter of nice cal
culation, in which mind, eye and arm
all bear part; and so true is this aim
in Patagonian practice that the hunter
seldom fails to bring down or other
wise cripple his game, whatever it may
be-" The rounding of the stones is
the work of the women, and it takes
two or three days to grind pair to the
proper spherical shape. In some dis
tricts farther north a third ball has
been introduced.

FROM SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
A Belfast Woman in Redlands.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL:
The writer of this letter is former
resident of Belfast, having lived there
some twenty-five years ago. received
her education III her public schools
and taken numerous excursions down
her beautiful harbor Dear old Maine
IN the writer's mind has few equals, if
any, in regard to her beautiful scenery.
Your correspondent received some
time ago clipping from a Bangor
paper containing an account of grand
ball given by the Knights Templar of
Belfast, and out of all that long list of
names only three were former school
mates of your correspondent They
were R. p. Chase, Chas. O'Connell and
F. T. Chase. AS | sit at my desk wri-
tlng-taking what few spare moments
offer themselves, for a telephone
woman must be busy woman--I can
see opposite, 'The New Glenwood"
the largest hotel in Riverside, with
Accommodations for 400 guests. When
lighted at night it presents very
pretty appearance.
California may we'll be termed the
land of sunshine and flowers. In JAN
uary we had some cold, frosty nights,
and ice even formed on the coolest
nights, but at nine O'Clock a. m. the
sun is out warm and delightful The
mountains here present grand APP
pearance. They are very lofty and a
beautiful deep blue haze hangs over
them that makes them appear very
fascinating to a lover of nature. The
roses are Undesirable in their beauty
One bush will have trunk as large as
an ordinary tree and spread over the
entire front of a cottage, covered with
roses as large as a a teacup and quite
fragrant. This is a characteristic of
the white climber. AS a rule the Cali
fornia roses are not fragrant.
Redlands' industry is chiefly orange
growing and the picturesque part is
Smiley Heights. It is a city of 5000
inhabitants and is about 10 miles south
of Los Angeles. The name Smiley
Heights originated from the fact that
two brothers by that name settled
there and converted a wild tract of
land into a beautiful park From the
heights one looks into the valley below,
where lies the city of Redlands with
its acres upon acres of orange groves.
Tourists are warned against picking
any oranges, the penalty being 500 fine.
1t is veritable mountain park, where
roses and many other beautiful flowers
bloom in profusion.
Los Angeles is a fine growing city
with nice churches and school build
ings and an attractive chamber of COM
merce. Pasadena is another of our
neighboring cities and is beautiful
place in which to spend the winter
months. One of the chief attractions
for tourists there is the ostrich farm.
