GREAT Skill WITH THE NEEDLE.
Women of the North Earn Money by
SkiIlful Manipulation.


Tho women OF New England. from
early colonial days, have been noted
for their wonderful skill with the
needle, yet 1t remains for the house
wives OF Hancock County, Maine. to
utilize this art as means OF earning
suficient 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 heavy short-wristed wool NIT,
with a forefinger protection for the
thumb and first finger. and a padded
palm. 1t is designed for protecting the
hands OF fishermen who haul wet lines
In cold weather.
Fully $4,000 pairs OF nippers are worn
out every year, OF which more than 20
per cent. are knitted by women who
live In the shore town east OF Penob-
scot River. AS n rule, a woman with
active fingers can knit four pairs n 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 no 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.
1t 1t not uncommon to see aged women
walking along the streets knitting nip
psrs in quickstep time, holding balls Of
yarn in their apron pockets.
A smart knitter can use up greater
length OF yarn than she can cover In
walking along a good road, her fingers
outstripping her feet In a ratio of z to

funerals, though near relatives Of the
deceased are barred from this privilege
As the communities are strictly ortho.

The nipper business furnishes good
revenue to railroads, steamboats, and
stages, and involves an expenditure OF
about 10000 a year.

Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows In Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From it's fruit large quanti. ties of oil and tailow are extract ed, and the fruit Is gathered fn November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows In some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the breadfruit tree, from which food is made in the same way that we make bread. 1tissaid to be equally good and uu tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphis Ledger.

A man on Twenty-third street furnished much amusement to a number of people on a recent windy afternoon by predicament he fell into, or rather that fell onto him A large gunny sack dropped from the roof of one ot the buildings, and, as it descend

ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from Uncle After Serving Three
 Years as Soldier.

That he shall serve lt least one full term of not less thau three years in the ranks of the United States army, at the expiration of which ii his dis charge shall read: 'Service honest anG faithful. character excellent and shall have reached the grade of a nonCommis- stoned officer and bring to the executors I herewith appoint l letter of com- mendation from the officer under whom he served. I be0ueath to the said George 0. Travis the sum of S130. 600. knowing that. as:er such service. he will have had enough experience of the world and disciplinary training to ,lns2re the proper disposal of what has taken me a lifetime to accumulate"
 Such are the terms of the will of the late S.. Houston, wealthy man Of Chi cago, made to his nephew, George Q. Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla homa. The other day the young man became of age and appeared at the Unit ed States army recruiting office and en- listed for the purpose of carrying ou: the dying request of his uncle.
 Mir. Houston was an old soldier, hay ing served in the civil war T the Fourth United States artillery. Unable to con- tinue an army career, Houston, having no sons of his own, was determined tha, his next of kin, his nephew, should be come a soldier.
 Young Travis said it was not neces sary for his uncle to make tha. c'aE5A In his will which makes service in the United States army compulsory for him as he had always intended to enter the arrny as soon as he was 2l.

America, and especis-

of the southern states ol is periodically cause Of cou' ment and concern to some who think they see therein sinistec 1 scheme of imperial conquest For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not wett founded. One such reason is that the number of Germans iu Brazil is not, after a}l, onaiu00s' ,y large. The total poputatios og Brazil, according to the census of 1S9O, was 14,333,9 No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 1000 ,N00y of which number less than 3,00O,000 nre Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than f4.0OO,000 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,70O,O0O were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300 900 were Germans.
 The latest and highest estt' mate or the number of Germana in Brazil is only 450,000, or lit tie over three per cent. Of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Ttaliaas three times as numer' ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed tn certain states as to form ma. jority of their population, ss some have imagined. Germans are most numerous in Rio GranGe do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 900, 900, so that the Germans are less than ore-fourth. In Santa Catha- rina the Germans are 100000 in $ total of 300,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47, 7,000 in 1000, aud in Sac Paulo 30, 0OO in l, ,430, 900.
 It is pointed ont as ominous that these Germans continue to ase their own language, to pub !ish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools, Well, the same may be said oa Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee,, and lu many other parts of the United States.
 The conquest which Germany hopes for in Brazil is not polit scal, but commercial. The profit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in creased commerce. In that Ger many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans landed tu Brazil creates demand for many shiploads of German man ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means q market for German trade Upon this feature of the case toe much stress cannot easily be laid,
