SHARK FISHING OFF HONOLULU,
Either Hook or Harpoon Used-Mon-

miles from shore. The fish may
either be harpooned or hooked, the
latter method being the easier. The
happening Is more dangerous and
more difficult.
"The shark fishers need a small
launch, a dead horse, some harpoons
or hooks and some large calibre
rifles The horse is sometimes killed
a day or two before the expedition,
as sharks are supposed to like their
horse meat high The horse is tied
at the end of rope and left to float
about sixty feet away from the launch,

gins.
"a shark will usually show up in
a very short time. At a distance OF
sixty feet he Is a long green object
of indefinite outlines. He approaches
the dead horse slowly until a few
feet away and then veers off to one
side and disappears. But he always
returns. Over and over again, some
times for an hour, he will circle
about the dead animal, seeming to be
as suspicious as any fox. While
the shark is making these repeated
investigations the bait is slowly drawn
toward the boat. When harpooning
is to be done the bait is drawn
gradually closer until the shark comes
right up to the boat. Then the har.
poon is plunged into him and the bat
tie begins. He gets exhausted by
and by and then the rifles come into
play.
"The sharks are more easily hook
ed than harpooned. Many tourists
who came to Honolulu get up shark
fishing parties. There are launches
and assistants for hire The shark
usually goes to the fishermen who
help, and small sum is to be realized
from the oil les liver affords.

PRESENTED TO AN OLDER WO.
MAN

A young woman always rises when
being presented to an older woman, and
some faddists have adopted the Eng
lish rule of not introducing persons
who come together in the drawing
room, the theory being that as they
meet in the hostess home introduc-
tions are not necessary While the
broad basis is correct, that The hos
tess friends are also those OF her
guests, some persons find themselves
embarrassed when confronted by per-
feet strangers, whose names they do
not even know.
1t is always the part of good form
to speak TO any person, man or wo-
man whom one finds in the same
drawing room. This rule is not to be
applied to dances or gatherings in
big halls, and two strangers, who
speak then commit a very ill-bred act.

GREAT YEAR FOR LACE.

This is the year of lace. Every
thing in that line from machine-mads
cotton to handwork of the greatest
artistic value is In demand. For
years women of wealth in all parts
of the world have devoted their time
to encouraging revival of lacemakfng
They have supplied the raw material
to working women and have impress
ed on their protegees the possibility
OF profit in light labor at home. Few
crafts offer such margin of gain, for
thread costing a few cents may be
transferred into lace that will sell
for as many dollars, the difference rep
resenting only the talent and industry
of the worker. 1t is not an easy task
to make community enthusiastic
over lacemaking A good deal of time
has to be spent in learning the art,
and the beginner is likely to be dis
couraged. To Offset that tendency the
women who patronize the craft buy
early efforts, which, on account of
their imperfections, have little mar
ket value. But they reap their re-
ward when the beginners become ex-
perts, for one never can tell when
worker will produce a pattern so
novel as to be delight to the buy

Girls Escape From a Wildcat.

When young girl spent several
years on ranch in southern Ari

through the desert l noticed the suns

scured by a yellowish haze and the
increased force of the wind whirling
great clouds of dust everywhere. Dis

mesquite on the opposite bank ap-

cred with dust and threw it into the
nearby bushes.
Instantly there was blood curl
ing scream, and the fiery, glaring eyes
of a huge wildcat were watching
me. The brute was crouching, work
ing Its way in my direction.
Just then another hair raising
scream brought me to my knees, and
there was the brute on it's back,
gnashing its teeth, with a quivering
arrow in its side. Later found that

room, a sanctum sanctorum, where
the "tea ceremonies" were held, gave
upon a wild scene ten feet square,
where jagged rocks, prickly bushes,
and rushing torrents spanned by stone
bridges, made the urbanities and rigid
etiquette of these ceremonies appear
pleasant contrast The smoking
room, made by opening and closing
a screen, looked upon lake artificial

full trees and shrubs on its banks,

THE GIRL sERIouS.


The girl who would make herself
popular with men will take neither
herself nor them too seriously. 1t
/ Is difficult to tell which of these two
Is the more fatal error to commit
II she considers herself irresistible,
either as to looks, conversation or
clothes, she fails to make the ma
tural effort that might render her
most attractive, and satisfied as she
is, becomes either dull or ridiculous.
If, on the contrary, she thinks ev-
cry man who speaks TO her Sec
ond time, is on the verge of falling
in love with her charms and takes
seriously attentions merely of the
moment, 1t will be only few years
when she finds herself high and dry
on the sands of time, because every
man who knows her is either afraid
or bored.
According to a cynical old philoso-
pher, says Brockton Times, the reason
that men as a rule are more attentive
to married women than to girls is
because they have no fear of the for
mer being unduly impressed. A mar
ried woman knows that even the most
slavish devotion is for amusement,
or distraction only.
On the other hand, IL a bachelor
were to show half the same pleasure
in the society of girl, their friends,
If not the girl herself, would think
that the matter was seriously on the
way to an engagement.
