Miss Adelia Mitvales father having

served an apprenticeship; then. getting
some money after the settlement of
her fathers debts. she set up shop of
her own. Having no trade. she was
making failure of it.
one day Tom Ferguson. who had
known Miss Aitvale in her halcyon
days. passed her shop and. seeing her
sign. went inside. He found her in
tears. She told him the cause.
Now. Ferguson was in the advertis-
ing business and knew the difference
between goods brought before the pub
lie and goods never heard Of
why don't you advertiser" he asked

You are right in saying that one
should know how to advertise, but YOU
must make your goods known or go
out of business. You can't pay rent
and other expenses without selling
hats, and you can't sell hats without
people knowing that you've got hats
to sell. I'll think over a scheme that
will cost little money and produce con-
siderable results. Cheer up. I'll see
you again soon"
A few days later Adelia received a
note from Mr.. Ferguson suggesting
that she prepare a couple of the most
beautiful hats she could make and let
the style be something new. She went
to work at once. The fashion for hats
had been rather small. Miss Mitvales
artistic instincts told her that large
hat is the most impressive. She made
a couple of hats a trife larger in the
bl.m than any that had ever been pro-
duced, adding trimmings and feath-
ers in proportion. When they were
finished, though they were very differ
ent, each was dream of beauty. She
wrote Mr.. Ferguson a note announcing
that they were ready. He immediate
ly sent her an address to which he
asked her to send them.
The hats were delivered. and Miss
Mitvale waited for Mr. Ferguson to an
nounce his advertising scheme. The
next morning on taking up the paper
her eye was attracted by heading in
large capitals as follows:

In the recent oleomargarine hearing
before the agricultural committee Of
the house &c representatives at Wash
ington it developed that practically 80
per cent of the oleo as it goes to the
consumer is artifcially colored to look
like yellow butter yet only 3 per cent
of all the oleomargarine thus sold pays
the ten cent tax. The Grout law, at
present in force. provides that all oleo-
margarine artificially colored to look
like butter shall pay the ten cent tax.
yet from the above figures it appears
that about II per cent of the colored
article pays no tax at all, which would
seem to show that. while the present
law ought not to be repealed for the
sake Of the beef tallow and cottonseed
oil producers. it ought to be patched
up to protect the dGiryuicn and ulti-
mate consumer.

TURNED OUT OF A THEATER.
Ladies When Requested to Remove Thei
Hats Refuse to Do So.

Last evening at the - theater two la
dies were sitting in a proscenium box
when gentleman behind them called out
gruffiy:
Twill you ladies please put down your
umbrellas"
What do you mean, sir?" asked one of
the ladies angrily
II mean that l can't see through a dec
GRATED cart wheel"
IF you refer to my hat sir" replied
the lady, Il would have you know that
it deserves no such appellation. Had you
asked us politely to remove our hats we
would have done so. AS 1t is we will keep
them on"
The man who couldn't see through a
decorated cart wheel complained to the
manager, who going to the box occupied
by the ladies. demonstrated. BY this time
they had become ncensed and stubbornly
refused to remove their hats. The man
ager then requested them to come into
the foyer and when there elected them
from the theater. A complaint for as
sault has been entered, the ladies assert
ing that force was used by the manager.
Many ladies who object to being ordered
to remove their hats at the theaters are
interested in knowing how the case will
be decided
Miss Mitvale turned from this item
to the advertisements to see what an
making. She came upon a conspicuous
advertisement of her own. announcing
hats of the latest fashion, just received
from Paris. note was appended
which read
The ladies elected last night from the
- theater wore hats made on this model.
which was copied from a hat worn by her
majesty the queen of England on the oc-
sor castle and Immediately came into
fashion.
When Miss Mtvale went to her shop
that morning she found several GUS
toners waiting for her. They had
come early that they might get in or
ders ahead of others for decorated
cart wheels" such as they had seen
at the theater the evening before. By
IL o'clock the shop was crowded, every
woman insisting that her order should
be executed at once.
While attempting to pacify them she
looked at her window. and there stood
Mr.. Ferguson peering in with broad
grin on his face. He had sent back
the two hats he had used in his thea
ter game. They had been worn by
women he had hired. They were al
ready sold.
Mr. Ferguson's dummy hat exhibitors
entered a complaint against the man
ager of the theater for assault.
The case was tried, but the charge
was not proved. Nevertheless the ac-
ton attracted much attention, all of
which conduced to the increase of Miss
Mitvale's business.
j Miss Mitvale's fortune was made.
From time to time she called ON Tom
Ferguson for his bill for advertising,
but was always put Off, he saying that
when she saw the amount she would
decline to pay. Finally upon her in
sistance he sent it in. II read

ter cod fishery of New England was revolu-
tionized. In a single season shortly after the
of such nets began 9 few Cape Ann
(Gloucester) fishermen took by this means over
100000 pounds of large-sized fish, and as much
as $4,000 has sometimes been saved annually
in the single item of bait.
By the dissemination Of information regard
ing new fishing grounds important fisheries
have been inaugurated. Thus when the abun-
dance of halibut off the coast of Iceland was
made known by the bureau, a fishery was be-
gun which yielded from $4,000 to 100000 an
nually to the New England fishermen.
Owing to the appalling mortality among the
crews of the New England fishing vessels,
caused in large part by the laundering Of YES
sells at sea, the bureau many years ago under
took the introduction into the ofsshore fisheries
of type of craft which would combine large
carrying capacity and great sped with en-
HANGED safety. By correspondence, discussion
in the daily press, personal interviews, ex-
hibtion of models and finally by the actual con-
struction of full-sized schooner (the Gram
pus), with the requisite qualities, the bureau
was enabled to inaugurate momentous change
in the architecture of fishing vessels; so that
for a long time the New England schooners
have been constructed on the new lines, with
a consequent minimizing of disasters and de.
cided increase in efficiency.
In other fisheries and regions the bureau
has likewise advocated improved types Of YES
sells and boats especially adapted to local con.
ditions, and has published plans and specifica-
tions embodying the results of studies of the
fishing fotilla of the world.
The results of the bureaus efforts in this
line in saving life and property. in increasing
the usefulness of the vessels, and in improving
the quality Of the catch as landed, cannot be
estimated but the beneficial effects may be
partly appreciated when it is stated that during
the ten years ending in 1888, when the old
types of vessels were in use, there were lost
by laundering from the port Of Gloucester
alone, 80 vessels, valued at more than 100000,
with their crews of 895 men, while during the
ten years ending in 1907, the losses from this
cause aggregated only fourth as many ves

The catacombs- at Rome were the
burial places of the early Christians.
They are about $50 miles in extent and
are said to have contained 100000
bodies. During the prosecutions of the
Christians under Nero and other Ro-
man emperors the catacombs were
used for hiding places. Under Diocle-
tian the catacombs were crowded with
those for whom there was no safety
in the face of the day. The art of the
catacombs is unique and most inter-
esting. Simple designs are etched in
the slabs which seal the tombs. Now
and then are small chapels where
paintings are to be found. All are

combs may be said to be pictorial

In 20 minutes made the experimental catch of

Importance have been established there
The hatcheries on the rivers and lakes of
the Pacific coast are devoted almost exclu-
sively to the various salmons. In California,
where the bureau established salmon hatch.
cry as early as 1872, there is one central or
main station, at Baird, on the McCloud river
with important collecting stations on two other
tributaries of the Sacramento. In Oregon
central hatchery at Oregon City, on the Will
lamette river, has three subhatcheries on trib.
utaries of the Columbia, in Oregon and Wash
ington, and three subhatcheries on tributaries
of the Rogue river Oregon in addition to sew
eral egg-collecting station.
The interests of the large salmon fisheries
of the Puget Sound region are safeguarded by
hatchery on Baker lake, on the Skagit river
A significant feature of artificial propagation
on the Pacific seaboard Is that in the Columbia
basin the Matching of the acclimatized shad has
basin the cultivation of the accimatized striped
bass has commenced under conditions which in
dictate that more eggs of this species may be
obtained in California than in any of the states
to which the fish is native.
The hatcheries in the interior regions con.
stitute the most numerous class, and their
output reaches the largest number of people,
Their operations are addressed chiefly to the
so-called game" fishes, which, while caught
mostly by anglers nevertheless constitute an
important element of the food supply At these
stations large numbers of fish are reared to the
lingering or yearling sizes before being re-
leased; for this purpose more or less extensive
pond areas are required.
The fsh-cultural work of the federal govern.
ment has now attained magnitude that can.
not readily be comprehended, and Is increas.
ing at an exceedingly rapid rate. Especially
marked has been the increase in the hatchery
product during the past ten years, owing in
part to the extension Of operations at existing
stations, and in part to greater efficiency of
methods and appliances. The work during the
fiscal year 1909 reached larger proportions than
ever before, over three billion fish being pro-
duced and planted
While the bureau does not lay undue stress
on mere numbers and considers the vitality
of the fish and the conditions under which they
foregoing figures are certainly very suggestive
and as further statement of the magnitude of
the fsh-cultural work. it may be of interest
