of Mexico there are lots and lots of
men who exc out their livings doing
Just this thing. For the man who
doesn't have to fish for the devil-fish,
it's fun, but to the man or crews of
men who do 1t for their daily bread:
swell, they content themselves with a
single catch a day.
Aristotle of old is recorded in his
tory as the first writer on the sub
tsct of devil-fshing. but as he was
exceedingly fond of Mr.. Aristotles
health he left lots unsaid because he
didn't investigate.
Every Gulf of Mexico sailor who
fishes for this creature carries
hatchet close by, for that is the only
means of getting away from the fish's
tentacles-simply cutting them off as
they are about to grasp the intended
victim.
In the gulf the devil-fsh is har-
pooned and seldom after one of these
great prongs has been imbedded in
the body of the victim are the fisher
men able to land their quarry within
two hours. Usually 1t takes from
three to four hours Of good. hard mus
cle-grinding work and then lots of
times the crew of the hunting craft
must cut the cable and lose the har-
poon simply because the brute fights
too hard to allow the occupation to
be carried on safely. 1t is little
wonder that one fish day of this
variety is considered sufficient.
Many wild, weird tales are told OF
the devil-fish. One class of stories
deals with the creatures addiction to
towing ocean-going steamers out of
their courses. So strong is the deep
sea monster that captains of vessels
have been known to wonder what
was carrying them to windward. and

New York, June 17th.
This is the timo of year when some
special type of noedlework fad breaks
out and RACES with more OF less Viru-
lence, giving employment for skilled
fingers on the cool verandas that
have come to be the universal out
door living rooms.
One season bcadwork had its in

sensible fad They are made up OF

ameter. n scarf for an oblong table,
and either a square pillow, 81 inches
or an oblong pillow 1896 inches.
Kama Cloth.
Kama" cloth. which is new
weave of linen crash, is the favorite
material. and the designs are con-
ventionalizcd fruit patterns or simple
geometrlc figuros cleverly arranged.

The leaves in pastel greens, 1879,
1447 and 1449. A scroll of soft, yell
low, 1897, and little Japanese
gold thread, that washes as perfectly
as the rest of the materials, lights
up the design, while the whole pat
tern is outlined in black silk All
the pieces are finished with a fancy
braid known as Kama" trimming,
that sells at 20 cents per yard and
matches the crash in color.
A Curious Economy.
1t is curious how many women will
buy commonplace patterns and poor
materials, waste their skill and time
In producing articles that have no
value, when II they used handsome
materials at only a slightly increased
cost they would turn out really valu-
able productions.
Cheap cottons and wood fibre imi-
tations Of silk that lose their lustre
and suppleness at the first exposure
to dampnees are distinctly extrava-
CANT investments, however low their
cost, since they spoil the effect of
any garment or piece where they
have been used.
Lazy Daisy Work.
Very pretty and easy to do is the
Lazy Daisy" work that makes such
charming matched sets of centre and
plate and finger bowl doilies, for
luncheon or dinner decorations. The
daisies are made OF rick-rack braid
and can be bought ready to applique,
or easily fashioned from the bralds
by sewing the points together.
The handsomest sets have the dec
orative stitches, stems, leaves, etc,
done in mt. Mellick Silk" which is
an especially beautiful white, glossy
and smooth in the working. Most OF
these sets are finished with Cluny
lace edges, but a handsome scallop
Of the silk is equally good style.
How TO Wash White silk Embroid- |
cries.
II more people knew that white
silk embroideries can be perfectly |
cleansed and kept white, by using a |
solution of half water, half alcohol, |
Trying in the shade, and pressing
with a somewhat cool iron on a well
padded board. they would be more
'eady to spend their time in produc-
ng handsome silk pieces. These
yleam out on damask as no linen or

II Is we'll TO keep silk sets between
ayers OF blue tissue paper, Just as

BELL ATTACHMENT FOR A TANK

An attachment on a tank that fur
much Importance and is easily ar
ranged. Just above the tank, as indi-
Gated In the sketch. two pulleys
should be suspended, over which the
cord runs which carries the float f,
and the weight w. The float In the
tank may be hollow copper ball or
a block Of wood. The ball Is perhaps
preferable. since the wood tends to
become waterlogged and thus will
change in specific gravity At the
other end of the cord. hanging down
outside the tank. is a weight. The
float must be heavier than the weight
so as to be able to fall in the tank
as the water falls. The float will be
pushed upward. and, therefore. the
weight downward by the buoyancy of
the water as II rises in the tank. BY
means OF the pulleys. therefore, and
the float the rising and falling Of the
weight outside is assured.
For the electrical contact, outside
the tank wall two wooden brackets.
AC and BID, should be fastened at
such heights that when the tank is
full the weight w rests upon the low
er bracket. and when the tank Is
empty the same weight will rise and
touch the under side of the upper
bracket. AS the brackets require to
project past the cord suspending the
weight hole or a slot should be cut
In the upper bracket to allow for the
movement of the cord. On the under
side OF the upper bracket two brass
or copper plates. A and G, are at
tAched and similar ones. b and ID. on
the upper side of the lower bracket.
These plates are connected in pairs
tached and similar ones. b and ID. on
plates on each bracket should be, of
course, separate from one another, but
so placed that the weight at its high
est or lowest point may touch both
plates and thus bridge the gap be-
tween them and complete the circuit
The weight should be OF metal and
should be furnished, both above and
below, with points so placed that
these points will touch the plates. The
points will give q better assurance OF
contact than broad surfaces would do
since little dust adhering either to
the plates or to the weight would pre-
vent contact. The wiring Is done al
shown In the diagram, viz; BY run
ming a wire from either one of the

Colors Of Euus.

Mr.. A. r. Norwood Of the Leicester
(England) museum remarks that the
colors of birds eggs can in a large
number OF cases be traced to the me-
cessity of protective resemblance"
White eggs are usually laid by birds
nesting in holes in trees. or in dark
situations, like owls. woodpeckers and
some pigeons. Most birds nesting on
or near the ground lay eggs OF an
olive-green or brown color. The eggs
OF grouse. ptarmigan and so forth re-
semble the heather amongst which
they are laid. Those Of the ringed
plover, little tern and oyster-catcher
resemble the sand and shingle OF the
beach. The lapwing's eggs closely
simulate bare soil or dried bents. The
young chicks show similar ''protec-
tive" colors.

BUCKWHEAT AS
A CATCHCROP
Takes About Sixty Days to Ripen
and Yields 10 TO no Busheis
per Acre-By e. 8. Keasey.

We sometimes lose our seeding In
the oats or wheat and rather than re-
seed we plow the ground as soon
after the harvest as possible and sow
to buckwheat. Buckwheat Is an ex-
haustive crop, but | occasionally use
it to further my grass seeding plans.
l have never failed in getting a good
catch of grass OF clover. though
sometimes buckwheat fails in making
a good crop. When weeds grow in the
wheat stubble after harvest you may
be sure that the clover seed is gone.
II takes only about 60 days for buck.
wheat to grow and ripen. 1t will usu-
ally yield 10 to 20 bushels per acre,
so II pays well for the labor involved
and at the same time makes fine
shade and protection for young grass
and clover sown at the same time
with buckwhcat. SOW about three
pecks per acre. with 150 pounds of
phosphate. Much nitrogen is leached
through the soil II there is not some
growing crop to preserve It, Buck
wheat consumes but a small amount
OF nitrogen. while the clover gathers
an abundance OF this necessary ele-
ment.

Be cordial to older men and wo-

Make every man feel that you ap'
preciate his courtesies. Don't gush

Don't spend your time In corners

Never fail to pay all your calls.
Let nothing prevent you from being

HAVE TAKEN TO THE SCARF
Accessory Of Early Victorian Days He-
ceIved with Favor BY the
Fashionable.

One of the prettiest pieces OF dra-
perry that one can own this winter Is
the early Victorian scarf ABOUT three
wards long, made OF chiffon cloth on
which are narrow bands OF tur OF
marabou.
They are a trifie over a yard wide.
They are worn across the shoulders.
and the ends drop over the arms. ii
one is tall II is not amiss to nave
scarf. the ends Of which reach to the
hem OF the skirt.
For evening these are made In WV
i'd colors, and for afternoons they are
In black, taupe, deep violet, and sew
eral shades Of gray.
One of the most effective Is OF
black chiffon cloth run with strips OF
ermine. This is worn with a prin-
cess gown OF white broadcloth and
poke bonnet OF black velvet, with
large crown. surrounded by upstand'
ing black tips. From the back are
two streamers OF black velvet that
fall to the floor.
Older women. and those In mourn
ing, will wear the long scarfs OF black
chiffon cloth banded with black lynx.
Naturally these will not be worn
over coats, no matter how elaborate
the latter may be. They will be used
with one-piece gowns, and would look
absurd over q skirt with separate
blouse. There is not much danger
however. OF the latter being adopted
this year. except for strictly informal
wear. The white blouse is confined
this season within narrow limitations
This fact alone may somewhat reduce
the exaggerated prices for 1t. II also
should go without saying that the
long, sweeping scarf should not be
worn with a small. jaunty hat. II
needs a hat with a brim. II Is not
'in the picture" with Russian
toque.

FIRST AID TO EMBROlDERERS
A Number Of Suggestions That Have
Been Proved TO Be Essential to
Good Work.

Be careful In your choice Of needles.
Avoid one that is too small. for the
thread wears 1t thin and roughens It.
Mercerized cottons can be used with
an ordinary needle OF the right size;
a crewel needle is best for silk.
In choosing crewel needle take
those with oval eyes and rather short.
They can be bought In mixed pack
ages. Keep such a package In the
work bag. that you need not fall back
on the wrong kind of needle.
An emery is even more important in
embroidery than in ordinary sewing.
A sticky needle makes one pull at the
work in a way fatal to smoothness.
A stiletto should form part Of the
equipment OF every embroidery bag.
Those OF ivory never rust the mate
rial There is a new stiletto with .
gauge that insures even sized holes.
When doing a piece Of work that
will not wash. paste tissue paper over
the part that is finished and keep IL
rolled up. with the embroidery inside
A white apron and hands that are
frequently washed are big helps In
keeping work clean.
Be careful in doing silk embroidery
too near window or out OF doors.
where SCOT and dust blow on 1t.
Wash buttonholed edge II possible
before II Is cut out. II makes a firm-
er edge and is less apt to ravel.
In laundering colored embrolderies
do II yourself, unless your laundress
not only knows how. but Is willing to
take time and trouble.
