a millionaire, hoping to encourage
his young son in ways Of thrift, prom
ised to give him 2 per cent a month in
tcrest upon any money that lie might
save out Of his allowance and deposit
in the paterna treasury. The young
man was getting E5 a week for pocket
money and promised to show his ap-
probation Of his fathers affectionate
offer. He began to make deposits
without delay and kept the practice up
with remarkable regularity.
The old gentleman noticed presently
that the deposits exceeded the whole
of the boys allowance, but accounted
for this .by supposing that he had
saved some money previously. Besides
this, he received money frequently
from his mother SO the fond parent
reioiced in the saving disposition that
his son was displaying
This continued until the boys de-
posits assumed such dimensions as to
demand an explanation. 1t then turned
out that most Of the money he had
been depositlng had been borrowed.
Inasmuch as he was drawing interest
on his deposits at 2 per cent per month
and was paying only 10 per cent per
year for them he had found the busi-
ness decidedly attractive and profitable.

THE DEVILFISH.
He Is Not Man Eater, but a Gently
Reared Monster.

hCdlCb WlOHobSis
Contrary to popular belief, the devil
fish is not man eater, according to
an official publication issued by the
Smithsonian institution, Washington,
after an authoritative study Of the sub
ject by DR.. Theodore Gill, associate in
zoology In the national museum. THE
food of the devilfshes," he says, $50
far from being large animals and oc-
caslonally man or so, as has been al
legged, appears to be chiefly the small
crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans
and young or small fishes. Rarely does
one prey on large fishes"
DR.. Gill says that in a number Of re-
spects the young devilfish grows up
under nursing and training remarkably
Ike that Of a human being. 1t is nour-
ished, for instance, from its mothers
milk. 1t is a popularity Of the devil
fish, he adds, that, instead of laying
many thousands or millions Of eggs, it
normally has only single young one
at birth. A baby devilfish is some
times as broad as five feet and weighs
twenty pounds or more.
DR.. Gill adds that devilfishes move
about from place to place il a sort of
submarine flight, speeding themselves
along by flaps Of the long winglike
fms.

II you wheeze or sneeze, hawk OF

matter with the membrane of your

And you need Hyomei because II
will cure of any catarrhal or inflam-

1t isn't a stomach medicine, or
spray, OF douche, but a very pleasant
healing, antiseptic balsam, from the
eucalyptus forests of Australia. You
breathe this balsamic air through a
small, hard rubber inhaler, and it
reaches every nook, corner and crew

kill the catarrhal germs.

"The use of Hyomei cured Mr.. Cut

; aware that hat looks odd when it's

they do not wish to look odd them

which many men give so much time

In the heroic age of Elizabeth they

Among all the members of the hunt

Day Dreams.

If you have a particular piece of
work to do, get 1t done. Don't wait
for the mood to strike you.
Don't dream! There are more pre-
'cious hours wasted In day dreams
than any of us would care to think
about If We counted them.
The queer thing about day dreams
is that so few of them ever amount
10 anything. The dreamer is only
semiconscious when building his air
castles, so, as a rule. they have no
practical foundation.
While you are at work, keep your
mind on what you are doing, and do
not let it wander off TO what you
would like 10 be doing Only by keep
ing your mind on what you are doing
now can yon bring it fresh and keen
to the things you like doing best when
the time for doing them comes. Think
ing too much about even great happi-
ness takes the edge" off. #.
The best time for day dreams is
after you have gone to bed.-New

order, almost oriental in their rich
ness. 1t takes such modes as the EN-

beauties of the styles now in vogue
for which the materials now offered

shades are often copied from the old
prints Of days Of great dynasties.

Charming Velvet Gown.

A velvet gown that will be charm
Ing and effective may be made from
the model having a nigh skirt with n
bodice OF Venetian or other heavy
lace. 1t might be advisable to have
this gown made with slight neck
opening, that Will bring 1t within the
bounds of evening wear and by the
addition of extra guimpes and collars
and two varieties Of sleeves the gown
will do much good service in a town
where few occasions demand them.
Satins, velvets and breaches gmore
are utilized for the evening gowns of
this winter, but the thinner materials
are by no means pushed in the back
ground. Chiffon, plain or embroder-
ed or painted Is in great demand.
Nets are one OF the most fashionable
fabrics for an evening frock and beau
tiful effects can be gained by the un-
der silk which will be used as foun-
dation. Gauzes are as much used as
the chiffons, perhaps, and as well
liked. Some of the new shades are
examples of the best OF the cOlorist's
art Tulle and silk net are to be
found in all the new shades and Of
such texture that they viii stand hard
wear. One of the fads OF the season
Is scarf of tulle or net to be worn
with any gown; and to a heavier or
more sombre color one of these scarls |
will greatly enhance its beauty.

What Woman Needs.

Now 1t is true that every woman
does not need all Of these but she does
need something that will do service
for similar occasions or for one or two
of the lost OF functions, all depending
upon the place she lives in. And
from these descriptions any clever
woman can choose and adapt some
thing to her own circumstances and
social needs.
A velvet gown is always one that
can be put to many uses and the vel
vet of today is Of so beautiful soft
and supple variety that there is moth
ing of the old stiffness and weight
that made 1t only appropriate to age
and the most ceremonious costumes.
The fabric Of today drapes well. yet is
firm enough to fall in the most grace
full lines.

NEW CAMP COLONIES.

The certainty of a camp colony at
Hot Springs has appeared since the
building of the Daniel Boone cabin
last summer, a log cabin used as a
teahouse and formally opened a few
days ago. The teahouse is a facsimile
of the birthplace of Daniel Boone,
and with its rustic appearance is a
contrast to the Homestead hotel. To
build such cabins as these for camp
ing places, a corporation has been
formed and will put up camps in the
vicinity of Homestead for the use Of
visitors who wish to mix the formal
and the informal by living in such
primitive abodes and using the ac-
cemmedations Of the hotel, the baths,
golf links, tennis courts and liveries.

wrong. And yet they would put
us in prison. Molokai is a pri
son. That you know. Niula,
there, his sister was sent to Mo-

not seen her since. Nor will he
ever see her. She must stay
there until she dies. This is not
her will. It is not Niuli's will.
1t is the will of the white men
who rule the land. And who are
these white men?
I'VE know, We have it from
our fathers fathers. They came
like lambs, speaking softly. Well
might they speak softly, for we
were many and strong, and all
the islands were ours. AS | say,
they spoke softly. They were
of two kinds. The one kind
asked our permission, our gra-
cious permission, to preach to us
the word of God. The other
kind asked our permission, our
gracious permission, to trade
with us. That was the beginning.
Today all the islands are theirs,
all the land, all the cattle-ev-
erything is theirs. They that
preached the word Of God and
they that preached the word Of
rum have foregathered and be-
come great chiefs. They live
like kings in houses of many

LOYAL TO HIS DREDGE
Hurt, Made Happy by Its
Splendid Record.

An army officer who had been in
Panama recently tells this story:
Laurent Roquebert had been general
foreman of dredging at the Pacific en-
trance to the canal for 20 years. He
had gone to the isthmus under the old
the job eve since. A short time ago
he was badly crushed in one of the
dredges and lay in a critical condition
in the Ancon hospital. One of the
engineers went to see him,
How many yards?" said the In
jured man feebly, referring to the
dredging record for the month. When
told that they had taken out more
cubic yards than in any previous
month he smiled and whispered:
"And the Gopher, what did she do?'
The Gopher, like the dredgemaster.
was handed down to the Americans
by the French. This old dredge of the
Scotch ladder type had been at work
at the Pacific entrance almost con
tinuonsly for % years. The French
man for years was master of this
dredge and he gioried In the fact that
it was the best on the job. A few
months before he met with the accl
dent, however, dredge No. 1 of the
Colon fleet lad surpassed the old
French relics record. That panied
Roquebert and he had watched devel-
opments anxiously month by month.
THE Gopher? Why, she holds the
record by more than 5000 yards"
was the visiting engineers reply to
the question.
The dredgemester closed his eyes,
smiled and said: I'm very happy

RELICS CT DAYS LONG GONE
Flint instruments Of the Stone Age
Unearthed at TintageI, Corn
wall, England.

In the vicinity Of King Arthur's
castle, at Tintagel, Cornwall, there
has been unearthed an ancient
arInory, or manufacturing place, OF
flint instruments used in the stone
age, says the London Standard.
The relics, which are at least 1000
years old, were plowed up, and in
clude a large number Of flint arrow
heads and chips.
Near by are a eromlech and hut
circle, also of prehistoric date.
All the fints discovered show
signs of working, and the find would
appear to indicate that long before
the erection of King Arthur's castle
the rugged cliffs of Tintagel were a
stronghold of the ancient inhabitants
of Cornwall.
