SURF RIDING IS ROYAL SPORT.
How the HonoluIans Tobossan for
 Half a Mile on One Wave.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, Is . famous bathing beach. Here, winter and summer, the surf canoes, or bet. ter yet, the surf boards, come dancing in on the long rollers and men become amphibious.
 There Is no sensation. quite com. parable, says the Travel Magazine, to riding surf board on a Pacific roller. It Is tobogganing on a moving hillside of water, or. if you are clever enough to stand np on your board, 1t is taking this hillside on a single big ski.
 The beach runs far out before 1t shelves into deep water. and at high tide the breakers begin to mount al. most half a mile from the shore line. You go out there with your surf board and wait for the wave.
 You learn to catch 1t at the right moment, throw your board inshore and climb upon 1t just as the crest of the roller mounts and catches you. Then on this crest you sail In toward the shore, to slide down at last when the wave breaks. down the foaming in. cline into shallow water and churning foam. It is royal sport.

FROM FANCY TO FACT.
Delightful and Novel Experience
 Rudely Dlspelled.

"Oh, thank you!" exclaimed the de. lighted wife, as her husband handed her a large bunch of money and told her to go right down town and buy everything she liked.
 Don't mention it," replied the hus- band. T want you to have everything your heart desires in the way of dresses and bonnets this winter. I realize that I have not been as gen. erous as I should have been, and hope l may be able to make up for 1t now. Here, take this double handful Of $20 gold pieces, too. Look out, there! You're dropping them"
 But the double handful of gold POS fell to the floor and went jingling here and there, and the husband laughed merrily until
 B-r-r-r-r-r-r!
 It was the alarm clock, and she heard the voice of her husband say. ing:
 I'll be late to work again to-day. Say, lend me half a dollar, won't you? have not enough money for carfare and lunch this morning"
 It is such distressing occurrences as this that make women wish they had married the squit-eyed. freckled boy who afterwards left home and became a plutocrat.

 That, sentence out in Ohio, of i'm prisonment for life to a man who pleaded guilty of stealing five pounds of corned beef. seems most unjust.

The negro originally paid 3200 for his land and it has proved to be a wonderful speculation. Jay Gould or James R. Keene couldn't have made more out of it.-Springfeld

Figures of recent annual output show that the steel corporation pro-
 duces somewhat less than half the
 pig iron of the Union States, and that
 its iron ore and coke output are pro-
 portionately still less, says writer
 in the Engineering Magazine. In
 steel and in most finished products
 its percentage is considerably higher,
 but in no case does it reach 70 per
 cent of the total American output.
 It may further be noted that in most
 lines the corporation has fallen off in
 percentage of production since the
 early days of it's history. though this tendency will probably be checked
 within year or so when its present plans for new construction begin to show effect. The real strength of the steel corporation lies, not in its pres ent control of production, but in the fact that its holdings of iron ore lands in the Lake Superior district are so complete as to prevent any possibility of competition in that line. These holdings are variously estimated as representing from 75 to S5 per cent of the total iron ore ton mage of the lake district, and so long as no other ore districts are taken into consideration it is obvious that the ore supply of the independent in terests Is not large enough to laxt for many years. But indisputable figures are available relative to other ore districts, which seem to show that an ore scarcity in the Lake Superior region need not neees- sarily be taken as meaning the end of competition.

Bank Books Oddly Lost.

Very few slips were made by the men in charge of the British post of. ice savings bank system. but many curious incidents occur that cause them to be wary. It often happens that bank books are lost. One lost bank book disappeared in a storm wave. which had swept away all the effects of coast guardsman. Another went down the gullet of a circus ele- phant; a third had been eaten by a goat, another by a pig. while a de structive puppy had rent to pieces the record of another troubled depositor. All these losses have to be investi- gated and made good. An army ser geant complained that he had lost his deposit book while in the act of measuring a recruit for the army"

IS TRYING SEASON
CARE OF HANDS 4 DIFFICULT
 PROPOSITION IN WINTER.
Nevertheless By Taking a Few Sim. pie Precautions It VIII Be Found That the Task ls by no
 Means Impossible.

Now is the season of the year when
 women begin to worry about the con
 dition and appearance of their hands. In summer they seem to take care of themselves, but when winter comes and the air is cold and sharp they re- quire good deal of looking after
 No woman should neglect her hands, Tor. If she only knew it, they are really her greatest charm.
 Do not say that as you do your own housework you cannot expect to have pretty hands. for that Is no ex. cuse at all. There is no denying that scrub water is exceedingly bad for the hands, nor that in dusting the dirt gets clogged Into the pores and under the nails. But you do not have to plunge your bare hands any more into the disnguring dish water; you can wear rubber gloves when you wash dishes, and also when you wash win dows and scrub. There Is never any necessity any more for putting your hands into dirty water of any kind.
 The gloves should be thoroughly washed after having been used with clear warm water and soapsuds, both inside and out. and hung out in the air to dry. The hands should also be washed thoroughly. not merely dab bled in the water and out again for this only grinds in the dirt-but they should be lathered we'll with soap and warm water and afterwards rinsed in clear water. Partly dry with a soft towel. then rub in a little cold cream, just sufficient for the skin to absorb. When he hands are com. pletely dried r0~cer them with tal- cum powder or with a preparation composed of prepared chalk, 75 parts; zinc oxide. 25 parts.
 Never expose the hands to extremes of hot or cold water. Use soft rain water. or, If this is not available, put in few drops of ammonia or a pinch of borax to soften 1t A few drops of benzoin also has the effect of soften ing It Never use anything on the hands but . pure soap.
 
 For dusting use pair of old gloves belonging to one of the men of your family. Rubber gloves are too clunnsy for this kind of work. Gloves should always be used for sweeping if you would avoid unsightly and painful blisters.
 After taking them of always beat them out of . window In order to in- sure that every particle of dust Is removed from them. and if you should get them vet. rub them with . little cosmoline and let 1t dry in

The next big investigation contem- plated by congress will deal with the
 working of the so-called lumber trust. Senator Kitteridge last week
 introduced resolution providing for
 such an investigation and the matter
 has been turned over to Secretary
 Straus of the department of con-
 merce and labor. It might have been
 that this investigation would fall to the lot of the interstate commerce
 commission, except that with the coal and oil investigation, the grain ele-
 vator investigation, the block signal
 investigation, and the car shortage and fuel famine investigation, this
 commission happens to be a little
 overworked. It will be the first i'm.
 portant inquiry that has fallen to
 Mir Strauss lot since he became a
 cabinet officer, and according to Se,,-
 ator Kitteridge there is fertile field
 for his blowing. The senator said in
 offering his resolution that he had
 documents to prove the lumber trust
 to be one of the best organized and
 most relentless and grasping corpora tions from which the country has ever suffered. There seems to be some mystery, too, attending the exact To- cation and personnel of this new oc- topus. The senator says that he has in his possession lumber tariff gath cred from all parts of the United States from Oregon to the Florida coasts and from Maine to San Diego. all of them purporting to be indepen- dent tariffs. but each in effect exact ly the same. The people all over the country have realized the affect of the lumber trust control without be- ing able to exactly grasp its work ings. They know. as a matter of fact, that the price of lumber has practically doubled within the last few years. but they have been unable to see why. To be sure. the forests are being rapidly depleted. and forest reserves have been created over mill lions of acres in accordance with ex- ecutive order. But there has been no l such great increase in the cost of production or diminution in the source of supply as would warrant | the enhanced prices.
