JUDGING BY THEIR COLOR.
Fisherman Employed Somebody 70
Break In" His Shirts.

The late Capt. Alfred Rice, the
noted shad fisherman of the Delaware
river. was no less remarkable for per-
sonal cleanliness than for his I'M
euualed handling of the mile-long shad
seine.
Capt. Rice was not only clean and
neat himself; he insisted upon clean
illness and neatness in his men. If a
new man proved to be a sloven, he
very soon mended his ways under the
captains criticisms, or else he sought
another jos.
There was a Esw man, one shad
season, who always wore dirty white
shirt. In shad fishing it IS hest to
wear a black jersey. If, however.
white shirt is chosen, there is no rea>
son why it should not be clean one.
So. at least, Capt. Rice thought.
He stood his new mans dirty white
shirts for a month. Then, calling the
fisherman up to him, he said:
Friend, who the deuce is it that
you always get to wear your shirts
the first week for you?"-Los Angeles

DEATH in TRAILING SKIRT
Danger That Turks in Present Day Obedience

The following short story from the
Woman's Journal is very timely in the
warning given against trailing skirts:
Only little dust, almost impercep-
tible dust caught on the rug on the
floor of the handsome hall.

rather deep circles below the eyes, to
her slender and handsome walking
shoes. She walked trailing Ser gown

ignored the dust Of the street; but will
the dust ignore her?
Let us listen, II she will not, for
this almost imperceptible dust moves
and acts with fearful force, and if we
listen possibly we may understand its
language.
Soon after coming in on the beauti-
full lady's gown, other steps followed
and other gowns helped to move the
dust along farther into the house; but
it had a fancy for the beautiful lady.
Her frailness attracted it and it fol-
lowed her to the bed chamber Her
feet had never trod. the loathsome
precincts whence 1t came, but it came
to her on her gown.

Trout That Need Ice Water.

ney were one of the attractions Of a
fish and game show in San Francisco,

were caught in Whitney creek by r..

the towering mountain. One OF his
companions turned back when blind
ing snowstorm came on, but the other
two proceeded.

trout, which were brought down in a
bucket Of water and ice. Plenty OF
ice was kept in the tank in which the
Ash were shipped, and large chunk
of it fioated in the water in which
they lived at the pavilion.

BY educating the tuberculosis pa

his fellow citizen much more can be
done. A careful consumptive is a
good citizen; a careless consumptive
is an enemy to society and the state.
Even with the civil and self-imposed
precautions, the dust of the highway
and crossings is teeming with various
disease germs. 1t is practically inn
possible to eliminate these beds Of
filth. In the cleanest streets such COL

Hedgehog's Frown.

A hedgehog curls itself up by a
frown-that is. by muscles like those
which produce frown-and it frowns
severely or gently according to cir
cumstarces. If it is poked hard, it
"sghs" itself tighter. If really hurt,
it frowns into tight ball. The
prickles can be erected in measures,
though as they point all ways this is
not needed, They are as sharp as
needles. We have only known one
dog, large black and white setter
which would deliberately bite hedge
