STRANGE capture Of = Salmon.

Fishing a well known river in Nor
way one June, one of the tenants of
the fishing lodge opposite ours caught
a fish of twenty-nine pounds In the
morning and lost another, his spinning
line being broken by the rush of a
heavy fish. Fishing with prawn the
afternoon of the same day, the same
angler in the same pool got into a good
fish at his first cast. After a long fight
the fish was gated and landed. Then
was revealed a strange state of things.
The prawn tackle had never touched
the fish; in fact, the hooks were a foot
or more from 1t. They had caught in
the cast which had been lost that
morning and was now twisted into
knots and tangles no doubt by the
salmon endeavoring to get rio of the
treble Norsk cast and hooks. The line
had been got rid of. AS the prawr
swung down the pool 1t had grappled
the lost cast still attached to the salm-
on, and fish thirty-three pounds), cast
and tackle were recovered. We watch

Sibyl. "Those things may be all right

A knock at the door interrupted the
end of this sentence. A gentleman
was waiting to see Miss Stevenson.
The hallboy did not know his name.
Sibyl had changed her somber black
frock to one Of her Paris creations
and went to meet her caller.
She glanced into the public parlor,
but he was not in sight. Upon inquiry
she learned that her guest was waiting
on the corner of the piazza for her.
She went to meet him, and EArry Jud-
son put forth his hand as she came to-
ward him In the dim light.
'Sibyl, you must hear me-" Judson
began.
my dear Mr.. Judson," said Sibyl,
with singing sarcasm, that is Just the
trouble. I've heard too much from you
already"
Now, please listen. The train was

was a bit softer.

"And my maid as well, 1 suppose"
finished Sibyl.
Don't be a foolish girl, dear. You
have a prize In Louise. If you'll prom

secret. 1t was Louise who arranged
this campaign; 1t was she who suggest
ed my writing her a letter that would
reach you. She's a brick, all right, Is
Louise"
Sibyl opened her eyes wide and star
ed at Judson for a moment.
"You mean to tell me that stupid
French girl planned all this to give you
a chance to explain" unused Slbyl.
But why?"

you waiting nearly two hours. She u n

would not"
"But how can you explain about be-

Sibyl.
Easily" assured Judson. "She was
on the same train with me, and 1t was
late and dark, and she was afraid, and
l offered to see that she landed safely
under her parental roof. Surely no de-
cent American could do less, could he?"
"Well-but''- Sybil felt that she
was caught in a closely o net and
was trying, though not very hard. to
find an opening. Harry looked very
penitent. and Sibyl knew that she
loved him as much as he loved her.
"Well, will you promise"-
Anything, dear anythinglv cried
Harry without waiting to know what
1t might be.

1t measures twenty-six inches in length
and is just half a yard wide, but both
length and width car be considerably
increased by letting the net extend for
from six to eight or even ten inches all
around beyond the outside row of
braid. The little lace roses and sprays
of flowers and leaves may be made in
the hand before being basted on the
pattern, right side down. After all the
braid is carefully basted in place the
net is basted smoothly over the pat

BEAUTY'S BACKGROUND.
Lady Auckland Has a New Notion
About House Furnishings.

Lady Auckland, who has opened an
a theory that a woman's beauty de-
Ponds no more on her skin, hair, bear
ing or even dress than 1t does on her
background, her surroundings. She
must have her house furnished to
match her complexion.
1.-THE paintings of the old masters are
the best guide to artistic furnishing
says Lady Auckland. "They never
made the mistake of p~icturing a wom-
nm with a background that didn't suit
her coloring. Most modern portrait
painters are wise enough to consider
the s~itter's type when devising the
background. In a portrait of a woman

brown velvets and tawny furs. just

at her side. 1t brought out and yet
harmonized with her Eyes and hair.
Yet that woman has the iii taste to
have her drawing rooms furnished In
blue. They don't exactly quarrel with
her coloring. but they make her just
commonplace. In the picture she is dis
tinguished simply because of those
tawny browns about her.
1.-THE oma who has Titan red hair
must have a Titianesque background
of soft ruby and gold velvets. The
pastel girl. with her pale golden hair
and light blue eyes. would be extin
gulshed In a room of warm colors. Sol

who differ in their complications? Shal

daughter? Shall he buy draperies t.

THAT would be a problem replied

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A bilious attack may soon be over
come by taking the juice of one or
two lemons in a goblet before retiring
and in the morning before rising.
Some people wash their hair with tar
soap after an egg shampoo, but the
plain egg is very cleansing and leaves
the hair much softer than If soap is
used with 1t.
The white Of an egg when beaten
with milk and drunk night and morn
ing Is of service in mild cases of jaun-
dice. When beaten with sugar and a
very little water, it will make the voice
stronger and clearer.
To all suffering from ringworm rub
the part with vinegar that onions have
been picked in. 1t has never failed to
cure the worst cases, but must be rub
bed with it several times a day. The
favor of the onion kills the germ.
The particular woman never uses a
sachet of one odor. a soap of another, q
powder of a third, and so on. She
either buys her soaps and powders un-
scented or else has them Of the same
scent as her sachets and perfumes.
There must be no conflicting of odors.
Enlarged pores very often need inter
nal treatment, as well as external, as
they are principally caused by indiges-
ton and constipation. Sip a glass of
hot water every morning before break
fast and drink plenty of cold water be-
tween meals, a little at a time. For ex-
ternal treatment apply this lotion with
a piece Of old linen or a bit Of absorb

that l am a good looking glass. What
does he mean, Miss Sibyl?'
"He doubtless says you are a good
looking lass-that is, a girl" Sibyl ex-
planned. "But let me see the letter."
From the pocket of her dainty apron
Louise drew forth the note. Sibyl read
1t through, hesitated a moment and
then turned to her maid.
Louise, I'll meet this man in your
place. | don't want you to be de-
ceived, as l have been. Mr.. Judson
has proved false, and''- A tiny tear
found its way on Sibyl's cheek.
So it was arranged, and the seasons
belle, Sibyl Stevenson, strolled down
toward the clump Of tall pine trees
near the edge of the lake in the early
evening to meet the man who had paid
court to her maid. The trees, shaken
by the breezes, cast freakish shadows
on the ground, and Sibyl was not alto
gether comfortable.
She was eager to meet this youth
who was trifing with the affections of
her maid and give him a piece of her
mind. She had not long to wait, how
ever, before the tall figure Of a man
came down the winding path.
With long, swinging strides he APP
preached, stopped a moment as If to
make quite sure of-something, she
knew not what. Then, to her great sur
prise, he turned quickly and disap-
peared.
Sibyl waited until she felt 1t was no
longer safe for her to be out alone and
returned to the hotel to tell her maid
of the strange. occurrence. They dis
cussed the problem, and both decided
that the gorgeous gown worn by Miss
Stevenson did not look like the simple
grooming of her maid. This fact had
probably frightened the man away.
The next evening Sibyl, dressed in a
plain black frock, with white collar
and cuffs and a dropping hat, awaited
the mysterious Romeo whom Louise
had notified by note to be there at a
certain hour.
Again the tall figure swung down the
road. a SLOUGH hat pulled down well
over his eyes.
ais that you, Louise? 2" he whispered.
Sibyl started to scream; then she
leaned against a friendly pine tree and
in a weak voice claimed the identity.
''Is she wiser" asked the man.
ais who wiser reiterated Sibyl, her
voice still trembling.
"Why, Miss Stevenson, your mis-
tress," stammered her companion.
"Don't stand there like a mummy, you

Louise went on making puffs and

Sibyl was decidedly moody, and 1t
was the maid who again started the
conversation.
"Miss Sibyl, what is a good looking

"Why Louise, you are stupid not to

Real Bottomless Pits.

Bottomless pits are facts, not fancies.
according to Professor e. A. Martel,
the French geologist. He declares that
this term may be applied to cliff caves
whose lower part has been cut off by
the erosion of the valley below, thus
turning them into tunnels, through
which the valley may be seen. The
most remarkable abyss of this kind
which the savant has seen is the so
called hole of Platary, on the summit
of the eastern ridge of Vercors, above
Clelles. At about 800 feet a horizon
tai oriice opens suddenly like the
mouth Of an ordinary cave, which 1t
probably once was. The bottom has
been cut off, demolished by the i'm
mense erosion of the vast basin of
treves to the east, 1900 to $500 feet
deep, on which the present lower ori-
flee of the present cave opens out in q
superb arch twenty-six feet high.
From the railway between the sta
lions of Clelles and Percy, on the line
from Grenole to Veynes, 1t Is seen
1890 feet in the air like a pinhole near
the summit of a limestone cliff. 1t was
from the car window that the extraor-
binary aperture was discovered. In
Belgium in the Grand Dukes hole one
may descend and contemplate the
windings of the Lessee, holding to the
shrubbery to avoid being p~recipitated

chalk cliffs of Etretat there is another
evidence of an incompletely destroyed

Door panels or curtains of lace add

cost of the lace panels may be some
