FISHNET MACHINE.
1t Ties Exatcly The Same Knot That
Is Usually Made by Hand.

Machines which will knit stock
ings and underwear have been
known for fifty years or more.
One which will lessen the labor of
making nets for fishermen is much
more of novelty. Norway is
country which has large fishing
interests, and one of her sons,
Cornelius Lie, of Bergen, has in
vented such apparatus.
The thread used in making
net is first wound on a big spool,
either by hand or with the assist
ance of a special winder, which is
supplied with each machine. It
IS said that the stitch is identical
with the one made by hand in
weaving a net, and is extremely
neat and firm. The mechanism
shown near the end of the long
steel rod is for the purpose of
keeping the rows Of meshes parallel
during the construction of the net,
and this, combined with the ex-
cellence of the handmade" knot.
has the effect of giving the net
good stretch and hang. The ma
chine is operated by turning
large wheel.
There is no limit to the length
of the net which can be made on
the machine, and the width may
reach four hundred meshes. The
arm which carries the row of
meshes as these are formed can be
made longer, and thus larger
width of net can be obtained. If
it is desired to have net tapering
away at the end like the belly of
trawnet, that can be done by
dropping mesh at each side as
each row of meshes is formed.
The machine is, to large extent,
handmade, and it has been worked
at the rate of about sixty to eighty
knots minute. 1t is estimated
that it will be possible to place
the machine on the market at a
price not far exceeding 500.

PENSION CONFEOERATES.
hobson Thinks Congress Ought to
ADD TO What South Pays.

Richmond Pearson Hobson, the Ala
bama sailor, statesman, and hero of the
Merrimac in Santiago harbor, intends to
ask Congress to pension Confederate
soldiers. He is preparing bill, which
he will introduce, and has written Gov.
Hoke Smith for data concerning Geor-
gia's Confederate pension roll.
Hobson says his purpose is to have
the national government appropriate an
amount so the Confederate veterT
now on the rolls of the States Off
South may receive from the nation1y
government pension sufficient when
added to that received from the State
government to equal that received by
Union veterans.
The South, says Hobson, has long
been contributing to pay the pensions of
Northern soldiers, and as the United
States has adopted policy of returning
war indemnities to foreign nations, he
thinks the government ought to returns
small part of the pension money already
paid by the Southern States.

IN many responsible positions.
Senator Whyte, now in his eighty
fourth wear, is still vigorous in
mind and body, during the recent
campaign in Maryland stumped
the State with the same intensity
of feeling and brilliance of orato1Y
as he did so years ago. In his
long public career he has filled
with honor every high office with
in the gift of the people of his
State. Harry Wolf. the infant of
the House Of Representatives, was
born and reared under conditions
just the opposite. Compelled in
early life to make his living, young
Wolf sold newspapers; later he be-
came an Office boy, and finally
studied law. This was accomp-
lished only through privations
which would have subdued the
ardor of a less resolute character
but this ambitious young man
plodded on with energy. pluck snd
ability, and when a little more
than IS years of age he carried a
district which for many years had
been represented by a Republican,.
The distinguished grandson of the
illustrious Pinkney reached out
his fatherly hand to the once bare
footed Wolf, guiding the boy along
the lines of useful and honored
public servant.

Oil Well Pays Preachers Salary.

A few years ago the Rev. George
Hood Anderson organized the Epworth
Methodist Episcopal church and later
secured sufficient funds to erect a
modern stone structure. Knowing there
was oil about Lima, he conceived the
idea of boring well in the church's
back lot.
A subscription paper was passed,
81, 200 was pledged to make up losses if
they came and the Rev. Mr.. Anderson
started his oil well. 1t proved a small
type gusher, and ever since the oil well.
operated daily by gas engine, which
also operates the church heating and
lighting plant, has been pouring out
sufficient crude oil to not only pay the
minister's salary and all other church
expenses, but TO make up bank ac-

The woman who is always well and
neatly dressed is able to exercise a
greater influence for good than one who
is the reverse The well dressed
woman is attractive to the eye and the
eye is one of the main avenues to the
heart. Other things being equal, her
influence is more potent than her neigh
boris, whose reputation of dressing
"just as it happens" at home in some
indefinable way casts shade over
whatever virtue she may possess. A
woman neatly dressed is ready for
emergencies. The chance caller and
the unexpected guest find her ready to
receive them. But perhaps the great
est necessity for looking well at home
exists in the home itself. To the men,
bers of their families they owe the first
duty.

Churches to Unite.

- The Baltimore American of yes
teIday says: There is no doubt but
that at the meeting of the General
Conference of Methodist Protes-
tants in May next plans will be
formulated for the union of that
denomination with the Congrega-
tionalists and United Brethren.
Such plans were prepared some
time ago, but when submitted to
the Congregationalists the latter
found that there was a spirit of
dissension in their ranks and it
was deemed advisable not to do
anything that might cause a split.
Therefore, the matter was dropped
for The time.
