foresight of the management in having

able.

at present employed in barber shops

number, which indicates who IL next

men. A slight redness above the hori.
Fan to the east indicated that morning
was approaching. The men had been
watching for the approach Of the north
sideis for several moments. They
were the lower guards, who expected to
apprehend the fishermen of the traps
in the lower bay. A large log with
branches extending in many directions
had almost run into them. So dark
was the night that it had approached
them very closley before they saw it..
II was this that had called for the COM
mand to the steersman.
There is man aboard that drift"
exclaimed one Of the men. "Tie on to
the drift" said the leader.
One of the men grabbed branch Of
the drift and the boat and log foated
along together.
The mans dead, {" remarked one Of
the fishermen as he came near the OBJ
ject. "Bring him aboard, anyway"
said the leader, land we will bury him
on the sand spit.''
Then the fishermen raised Dan lap
ham from his place on the drift, fairly
pryiDg his clinched hands from the
branches of the tree, and laid him in
the boat at their feet.

place on business, but on rainy or
stormy days it is entirely a different
matter, as it is practically impossible
to keep dry and comfortable. For
doctors and others whose duties nee
essitate their going out In carriage
every day, no matter what the wealth
er may be, the storm shield shown in
the illustration would be of great
value. The construction Is such that
-. can readily be attached or detached
from a buggy top, and when lowered
excludes the rain and wind, at the
same time giving the driver free ac-
cess to the reins outside the storm
shield. This shield can be made of
any suitable material and Is supported
on uprights, as shown In the picture,
fastened by means of hooks on the
tops and sides. A rubber drawing
string in the bottom Of the shield holds
It taut. On the front of the buggy
top two hooks are placed, to which
the shield can be attached by means
of straps when not In use, and also
when the occupants Of the carriage de-
sire to get out.

novelty Of the arrangement or the
parts and the unique way In which
they work, be interesting to others.
There is always great danger in carry
ing lighted lamp, especially in going
up or down stairs, and so many peo-
pie realize this danger that they pre-
fer to use candles. The device shown
here is simply an extinguisher for
candles, being adjusted to extinguish
the candle after predetermined
amount of the light has been consum-
ed. An alarm bell is attached to the
extinguisher, SO that 1t may be sound
ed few minutes before the extin-
guisher can operate to enable the user
to adjust it. The cap on the left Of
the handle is in the form of hollow
cone, pivotally hinged to the cylindri-
cal bracket which Is secured to the
candle. A small prong projects upward
from this bracket, resting against the
candle, while another pivot pin ON
the opposite side presses into the can
die short distance above the prong.
This pivot pin works in connection
with a striking head for the bell, so
that when the candle burns to the
pivot pin the latter is released, permit
ting the head to strike the bell. When
the candle burns further down to the
prong, coiled spring releases the cup,
which rises and descends over the
flame Of the candle, extinguishing it.
