FISHING WITH AID OF DOGS
Unique Method of Catching Salmon
 Trout in Use by Ainus of Sagha- lin Island.

The Ainus of Saghalin island, ofi the Siberian coast, have a unique method of fishing for salmon-trou with. dogs. The waters about the island are wonderfully clear, and from boat the bottom of the water is distinctly visible, and innumerable salmon trout may be seen swimming.
 The Ainus, when about to fish, take with them a number of dogs. At a certain point all the men and dogs come to a halt When half the men and dogs move further along the wa ter's edge, about two hundred yards. At concerted signal the dogs are started from their respective points, and swim straight out seaward in sin gle file in two columns. At cry from the Ainus the right column, wheels left and the left column wheels right, until the heads of the columns meet. Then, at another signal. all of them swim in line toward the shore.
 AS the dogs near the shore increas. Ing numbers of fish appear in the shal- low water, frightened forward by the Iplashing of the advancing column of dogs, which as soon as their feet touch bottom, bounce upon the fish with lightning rapidity.
 The animals promptly bring the fish which they have seized to their masters, who cut off the head, which belongs to him as his share of the catch. The dog that catches nothing gets nothing.
 It is believed that this dog drill of the Ainus is entirely unique. It is the more extraordinary when it is considered that the dogs. many of which have been captured from the forest, are still half-wild.

THE NEW SHOE BUCKLES
Cut Steel and Rhinestone Predominate for Decorating Evening Slipper
 This Season.

Cut steel and rhinestone predomi- nate in the shoe buckle for decorating the evening slipper this season. In the cut steel, which has very refined ap- pearance, the designs are very beauti- full. The buckles made of this mate rial seem to be the leading ones.
 They are made oblong and large, and though this is- actually the choice among the metals, there are other sizes and other metals still available, for though 1t is quite new. 1t does not exclude any of the others that with some are still popular.
 Rhinestone buckles are favored next to steel and there Is wide variety of these from which to make choice.
 Small and large ornaments, square and round ornaments, oblong and star shaped ornaments-in fact. in the rhinestone one can get an ornament in almost any shape person desires

and fancy feathers, wings and ribbons are all available. The soft caps are more simply trimmed.
 Soft caps of fur or fur fabrics are easily made at home. The crown is 1T four sections, like boys jockey cap and the brim slightly curved collar which is wide enough to turn up about the crown. This is lined with silk ol satin A fine wire may be introduced in the outside brim edge to advantage It should be put in between the fabric and the lining, and will serve to keeI the hat shapely.
 Such hats of plush or fur are very comfortable-a real protection to the head, and the becomingness Is new discovery. It is all in adjusting the right shape to the head in the right way.

CONCERNING USE OF PLUMEs
Newest Trimming In Millinery Shows Styles Such as Our Mothers
 Never Dreamed Of.

The newest trimming in millinery emphasizes the use of plumes. Such plumes. The word conjures up an in. finite variety of styles of which our mothers or grandmothers knew noth- ing. and fair women of today can be doubly grateful for the efforts of milli. ners.
 Garlands of plumes are used on broad. low hats. They are spotted and f1ecked with color, and some are made of layers of different shades, giving a wonderfully irridescent effect
 On velvet turbans the use of sin gle plume attached at the front, and extending toward the back in a slant ing line, is quite evident. This line for the plume Is used on large hats as well. And speaking of the wide, fiat shapes leads us to the introduction of ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two successful Paris milliners have done this with great effect.
 Feather rosettes are made of ostrich plumes. Concentric circles of cut feathers are placed around a jeweled center At the side of turban or on the upturned brim of large velvet hat this new type of ornament is ex. tremely chic.
 A feather band is being used on many large hats. Black and white plumes are favored for these orna. ments. They are detachable, hooking at one side This idea is attractive, for change of trimming means a change of hat.

THE WAY OF THE FISHERMAN
It Is Made Hard for Him When Ha Has Big Story to Tell
 His Friends.

"A fisherman who was worming for trout on the Ythan," says a writer in Baily's Magazine, had just laid his rod down to visit his sandwich box, when without warning it suddenly rose in the air and scared away like a Bleriot Biplane over Esslemont woods.
 For one wild moment he thought there were visions about, but the ex- planation was soon apparent. A trout had first seized the worm and had then in turn been seized and gorged by heron. Away Tapped the heron, only to find that it had captured some thing of unusual weight.
 "Still, it bravely flew toward it's nest in the treetops, and the angler might never more have recovered his rod had it not got entangled in some telegraph wires with the result that the cast snapped, the heron went free and the rod was eventually restored to its owner.
 ''I remember telling this story to a man who before had even got as far as the telegraph wires interrupted me with the assurance that it was a mere everyday commonplace to what had befallen a friend of his when mahseer fishing in India.
 Tt seems that his angling friend was casting with large spoon, and in a back cast drove it into the ear of a tiger which had been going to spring on him from behind Goaded by the pain, the brute sprang cleanHover him and into the river, and the fisherman actually played it for an hour as it swan to and fro in midstream.
 Tt is such stories which bring down on fishermen the unmerited reproach of being liars.
 Once when I had been describing some memorable fight with one of the big fish of the past wrote:
 CT live over those tense moments again and again
 Did the printer so interpret me? Not at all. What he preferred was:
 CT lie over those tense moments again and again!'
 This sort of thing is very hard. What made it worse at the time was the fact that the friend who drew my attention to the misprint was golferl"

FIND HISTORIC TOMB
MUMMY OF RED SEA PHARAOH
 BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Discovery Proves That Ruler Who Drove the Children of Israel from
 Egypt Wac Not Drowned, but ,- Died Natural Death.

An important royal mummy has been added to the assembly in the Hall of Kings in the Museum at Cairo, Egypt. It is nothing less than that of the Pharaoh who drove the chil- .dren of Israel out of Egypt. And in ternal evidence reveals that he did not meet his death in the Red sea. Both monumental. Biblical and clas- sicaI authorities agree that the son of Rameses II-Seti-Mer-en-Phtah. or Menephtah-is the ruler to whose reign this important episode of the Exodus and the submergence of Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea is to be assigned There has long been a mystery surrounding this i'm portant ruler. His tomb in the Valley of the Royal Tombs was discovered some years ago. but never properly explored. and the general idea formed was that the tomb had never been fin ished or occupied. probably. as many writers conjectured. on account of the body of the King never having been recovered from it's watery grave in the Red sea.
 Some years ago M. Lovet. one of Sir Gaston Masperos assistants. dis covered in the valley of the Kings at aThebes the tomb of the Pharaoh ,Amenophis II. which had fortunately escaped the attention of both ancient and modern tombs robbers. Not only was the body of the royal owner found in the coffin, undisturbed and covered with wreaths of flowers. but several other royal and priestly mummies were found in the side chamber which had been removed there for safety. Among them was one which at first was thought to be the remains of the heretic King Amenophis " of Akh-u- Aten, but which on being examined was found to have on the bandages an indorsement in indelible ink which stated that it was the mummy of Menephtah
 The mummy has now been unrobed. so we are able to look upon the face of this historic ruler and see the man. ner of man he was. The mummy which had been rebandaged at later time, probably at the time of removal to place of safety. belonged cer- tainly to the time of the early Rameses.
 When the bandages were removed the face and head being carefully un- covered-there was exposed to view the face of an old man bearing a striking resemblance to Seti I, his grandfather. The head was bald, ex. cepting a narrow fringe on the tenn. pies of black hairs, mixed with a few gray, which had been carefully cut There were traces of hair on the chin and upper lip. The body had been very carefully embalmed. and it was perfectly clear the King had died a natural death, and been laid to rest with his fathers in the royal manner

fork on it. Hold those in your hands or lay
them on the table until your plate returns.
Don't eat fast; don't eat noisily; don't take
too big a mouthful; and don't eat too much.
My sober and mature opinion IS, that bad
cookery, at4aa0ise selection of food, and OOer-
eating have "laid out" nearly as many men as
j. Barleycorn ever did.
1t may drive this thought home, if tell
you that I attribute my eternal youth and in
exhaustible virility to the fact that | eat SO
little. Last fall, when making two or three
speeches day, riding sometimes more than
hundred miles in an open car to reach the
next appointment, besides doing my usual
amount of work on The JEFFs, a glass of milk
and a soft-boiled egg constituted my regular
meal Often, it was the milk, without the
egg.
Never forget this:
Most people eat too much.
There used to be rule which forbade you
to take the last biscuit, or whatever it was on
the plate | am sure there is no sense in the
rule It is your host who IS to blame IT the
supply of food on the dish runs so low and
YOU are not guilty of any breach of etiquette
if. when YOU need another biscuit, piece of
bread, egg, slice of meat, or potato, you help
yourself to the last one But, in such a case,
the host is much at fault.
Now here is a rule that may stump you:
Never offer the host and hostess any dish
wait until you are so requested by one OF theno
have never seen this canon of tact and
good taste laid down anywhere, or heard it
mentioned by ANYBODY, but my instinct
teaches me that it is correct.
Not until the host has expressly invited the
guests to "Help yourselves!" should any of
them touch any food on the table, much less
pass it back and forth to other guests.
It is the host who is supposed to offer y0u
the hospitality and the viands: for yOW to
offer him, unsolicited, some Of has 0aCn pro-
visi0nS, is just as tactless as it would be to
ask him if he will please spend the night in
his own house. See?
The point is delicate, but [ have always felt
that it was there.
Of course, if the host says, at the begin
ming, "Let us all be free and easy, and wait
on ourselves!" it is different ~,
In that event, it would be courteous to place
him on the footing of fellow guest. But
unless he does this, YOU are guest and he is
host. It is his part to have yOm served: not
yours to serve him. He is feeding YOU, not
y0u, him.
I am sure the distinction is sound; and it
runs through the whole realm of hospitality.
Thus the host either shows you to your room,
or has servant to do it. You never think of
showing the host to his.
Use your fingers when breaking the bread,
or taking biscuit; use your fork, when help
ing yourself to meat The host should furnish
to each dish, spoon; to each platter, fork;
to each butter dish, knife. Use these, and
not your own spoon, knife and fork.
Don't O don't pick your teeth at the table.
And remember what said about sn515l1og.
If you have the habit, list it with your New
Year "swear- offs"

capes you, repeat the Excuse me-"

New Jersey, referred to some Of his sisters in
Christ as ''old hens"
AS if this wasn't the limit, he described
some of the brothers in the Lord as "tight-

Now I put it to you-how could any con-
gregation be expected to put up with any such
verbiage? The more truth there was in it,
the more insuferable it was.
The hens and the wads combined their in
dignant forces, and voted Clarence out of his
job.
But he says that it wasn't worth keeping,

Cop, approached him, and saying Merry

eye, knocking him down.
Policeman rose, and was again knocked
down.
But something went wrong with Josephs
dirgible, and he failed to follow up his
advantage
Swift, is the name of the policeman, and
he lived up to it. 1t was he who got in the
next blow; and he soon had the Dago suf-
fciently thrashed.
Then he led him before the court:
Joseph told his honor why he had done it,
and wound up with the plaintive question
'When do get the job?"
His Honor replied:
Il can give you one now, for at least
year"-and~ he did. It came in the way of
sentenceyto- the pen.
