cannot knit a mile of yarn while she
is walking a mile, though when knit
ting rapidly a brisk walking pace Is
not easily maintained.
The women carry their knitting work
about with them, no matter what else
they are doing. At evening prayer
meetings the flash and click of the
needles are not unusual accompani-
ments. Cases are known in which
women have taken their knitting to
funerals, though near relatives of the
deceased are barred from this privilege,
AS the communities are strictly ortho-
dox, no knitting is done on Sundays.
The nipper business furnishes good
revenue to railroads, steamboats, and
stages, and involves an expenditure of
about $4,000 a year.

GREAT SKILL WITH THE NEEDLE.
Women of the North Earn Money by
Skillful Manipulation. .

The women of New England, from
early colonial days, have been noted
for their wonderful skill with the
needle, yet it remains for the house
wives of Hancock County, Maine. to
utilize this art as a means of earning
sufficient funds with which to purchase
winter clothing. More than a thousand
women in this county alone are busily
engaged each winter knitting nippers
for the fishermen who sail out from
Gloucester, Mass. A fisherman's nip
per is a heavy short.wristed wool NIT,
with a forefinger protection for the
thumb and first finger, aud a padded
palm. 1t is designed for protecting the
hands of fishermen who haul wet lines
In cold weather.
Fully 10000 pairs of nippers are worn
out every year, of which more than rs
per cent. are knitted by women who
live in the shore town east of Penob-
scot River. As a rule, a with
active fingers can knit four pairs a day,
In addition to doing her homework.
The pay for making a set of nippers
is four cents, which Is taken up In
store trade from the agents. In actual
cash value 10 more than three cents a
pair is given for the work.
The knitters begin their labors late
in November and continue until Febru-
airy or later, the busiest season being
from December Is until the New Year.

as headquarters for the movement has
received hearty Endorsement in differ
ent parts of this country and abroad
The small sum of - cents sought from

Endeavor societies would furnish the
million dollars desired and does not
seem to place a severe tax on any in

fund would be utilized in various ways
for the INSTRUMENTATION and mis-
sionary work Of the organization. 1t
would permit DIR. Clark and his asso-
ciates, thus freed from certain bur

TO be erected until all the money is in
hand is guarantee against trouble
