LOCATE BLUEFISH BY SMELL
jus Seeming Them and Catching
Them appears to Be Two Diff
ferent Things.

"Ah!" said the skipper out with
party bluefishing, turning his face to
windward as he spoke, and at the
same time throwing the wheel over
and bringing the boat up and putting
her off on the other tack, Il smell
them!"
You smell them?" said one of the
party in the boat. do you mean to
tell me you can smell the fish,"
why, certainly said the skipper,
as he got another little pull on the
sheet, "or you can smell where they
are, which amounts to the same thing.
You see," the skipper continued,
the bluefish Is a voracious feeder
very voracious; he will eat about a
million of the little fishes that you find
around so plentiful in the water, put
there apparently for bigger fish to feed
on, and when he has gorged himself
on about a million, more or less, of
these little fishes, the bluefish will set
tie down on the bottom and there dis
gorge them; and this disgorged food,
oily, floats up to the surface, and that
you can smell, and it means bluefish!
and can smell them now, sure" And
so speaking, the skipper got an inch
more of the sheet and peered ahead
and kept her a-going with every inch
drawing, just a-humming and a-boil-
ing keen on the scent.
And did the party come up with the
bluefish and catch lots of them? A
boatload of fish? Keep hauling them
In till they all got tired of fishing
Well, that-as once celebrated
English writer has so aptly remarked
that is another story; seeming blue
fish and catching them being two quite
different things.

wide, nearly pointing or rounding the

frames with tacks or screws thus "a =,

The Dripping Pan in the oven.-Just
one very disagreeable experience, re-
sulting from the boiling over of the
juice of baked BURBERRY pudding
in my oil-range oven and it's dripping
down through the holes around the
edge on the chimneys below, where
it burned on instantly like enamel,
was enough to teach me the wisdom
of putting a dripping pan of the re-
quired size into the oven to heat and
then placing the juicy article in drip
ping pan. If the juice would boil out,
it ran over into the dripping pan. l
find this device saves me much annoy

Trade in Chinese Girls.

At Chaotong, city of some 10000
souls, was told that one of the brisk
est directions of local trade was the
selling of female children into slav-
cry, and at the time l passed through
prices were fairly high, girl who
could boast good looks fetching the
alarming figure of 300 taels- this waa
the highest figure reached-while
small children could be had for any
thing up to 20.
This Wholesale disposal of young
girls, although the traffic in some
quarters was emphatically denied to
exist, is one of the chief sorrows of
the district. And well it might be, for
thousands of children are annually dis
posed of for a few taels by heartless
parents who watch them being carried
away as so much merchandise to be
converted into silver.

SCOTLAND'S EARLY RECORDS
Indebted to the English for Only Au-
thentic Accounts of Early
Social History.

Scotland also has her Doomsday
Book, dating, however, only from the
thirteenth century. When the Banna-
tyne club published the records, about
20 years ago, under the modest name
Of THE Ragman Rolls" Scotland
awoke to the disagreeable knowledge
that she was indebted to the English
for the only authentic accounts of her
early social history. Mobiles, land
holders, burgesses and clergy all con-
tribute to the interest of the Ragman
Rolls. AS the preface declares: mo
part of the public records of Scotland
prior to the thirteenth century has
been preserved, and whatever may
have been their fate, certain it is
that to these English records of our
temporary national degradation are
we now indebted for the only genu-
inc statistical notices of the kingdom
toward the close of the thirteenth
century"

Very Much In Demand.

It was a new kind of recommends
ton for a servant, but very effective.
The old employer said nothing about
her accomplishments as cook, wait
ress, laundress or chambermaid'
What he wrote was.
"She is as strong as a man and
twice as brave. Three times while in
our employ she captured burglars SIM
gle-handed, held them until the police
arrived and saved hundreds of dol
lars worth of silver and jewelry"
All the manager Of the employment
agency had to do when that girl need

out loud and there ensued wild
scramble among his customers for the

Remedy for a fiaht Scar.

If the scar is not very deep one
1t may be almost banished by gentle
daily friction, but no attempt should
be made to treat the scar until the
tone of the part is thoroughly re-es
tablshed and before using friction the
place should always be bathed in
warm water with bland soap. Here
is a remedy which has been used with
great success ON light scars
Iodine crushed small, one-eightt
dram; pure olive oil, two ounces; agi
tate them together in a bottle unit
the solution is complete.
Rub into the scar once a day, max
ing the movement in contrary direc
ton from the scar. Just such a move
ment as you would employ in getting
the crease out of piece Of silk.

MAN AN ExAcTING CREATURE
Writer Sarcastic in Describing the
Many Demands Made by the
Modern Husband.

Richard lie Gallienne, writing in
Cassell's magazine ON wives Made
to Order" declares plumply that ANY
man should be glad of any woman
and any husband should be grateful
for any wife," Men do not deserve
women. Il have only met one man
who deserved wife-and she mar
ried another man." He thus satirizes
the exacting demands that any hus-
band makes on any wife:
HE expects her to be perfect, of
course. even as he is perfect; yet If
she is too perfect she gets on his
nerves. He expects her to echo all
his ways and moods, yet again he ex-
poets her to preserve her own indi-
viduality and have some opinions Of
her own. He expects to have his own
little innocent fiirtations, but woe
unto her if she turns her eyes to the
right or the left. One right he par
ticularly reserves to himself is that
of talking by the hour of his former
love affairs and expecting her heart
felt sympathy for his ecstasies over
vanishing faces, yet denying her the
thrill of one tender "Reminiscences
for his lordship over her is jealousy
retrospective and permits her no
| dalliance with memory. In fact, be-
fore she was, she was not. For, as
man was made in the image of God,
the wife must be made in the image
of her husband. The finite express
sion of his infinite, the dainty echo
of his ponderous omniscience, the
pearly shell that holds, as in a pink
and opal case, the music of the mys.
| FERROUS ocean of his mind
Yes, men, and particularly hus.
bands, are exceedingly comic crea.
lures, and to laugh up your sleeve at
your husband, yet love him all the
time, is an art which every success
full wife has possessed since man
first met woman and the sad world
began.
Il read a delightful story of Ibser
the other day which should find a
place in any primer for young wives
lbsen, it appears, made a point Of
sewing his own buttons on. You
could not trust woman, he said, to
sew button on to stay. He was
fond of saying this to his friends in
the presence of his wife. She sat by
and smiled but when he was out Of
hearing she whispered to one Of
those friends: L always go over then
again afterward. because he never
knots the thread
What sublime tact was there!
And how tenderly she spared her hus
band the knowledge of possible i'm
perfection-not to speak of preserv
ing the peace of the household"
Mr.. lie Gallienne recommends tina
the most sensible wife man car
take is one who has been married
before; she has mastered the mascu
line paradox.

have about a one to thousand chance

a bit risky to be literary or scien-

gineer your prospect of lunacy jumps
to the top, with only costermongers
as your real rivals. Why this is is a
mystery. 1t can't be intellect or hur.

''PROTECTIONISTS'

There are several things to be considered by the congressman who is called upon to vote on the tariff question. He is to represent his district, of course, but before a democrat can justify a vote in favor of a protective tariff he must decide. first, that the principle is right, second, that the policy of protection IS wise, and third, that the protect ion asked for is necessary. If it is not right to tax one man for the benefit of another, then a protective tariff can not be justi- fled, even though the benefits of the tariff on a special schedule might go into a congressman's district. If the principle of pro- lection is wrong, no democratic congressman can afford to vote for it. As a rule the industry which demands protection is owned by a comparatively few and the protection given them is not only an expense of other districts, but at the expense of the majority of the people of their own district. But, even if a majority of a mans constitu- ents would be benefited by a tariff law. that in itself would not justify the vote if the princi- pie is wrong
 Can democrat defend the policy of protection? Sometimes a member of congress deludes himself with the idea that he can oppose the principle of protection, and yet secure for his district a part of the benefits of protection.
The Nevada County picayune., 1909-06-10

little more than one-half of the present tariff, and this means the protectionists, instead of asking for a tariff just equal to the difference in the cost of pro- duction here and abroad, are de- manding tariff of more than the entire cost of production. The democrat who votes for the en- dorsement of the protective prln- ciple may as we'll make up hls his mind to swallow the entire republican program, for he will soon find that in order to get the protection that he wants for his district, he must agree to protect the trusts and to permit preda- tory wealth to have all it de- mands, for the favor-seeking interests stand together and make trading material of the legislators whom they control.
 The only safe proposition for a democrat to take is that the tax should be levied and collected for the purpose of raising reve- nue and not for the benefit of any particular interest or indus try. Whatever protection there is should be incidental; as soon as protection becomes the purpose, then the legislative session IS given up to log-rolling, wlre-pul- ling and combination of interests. -Commoner.
