QUEER FISH HOOKS.
To go back as far as the stone age, we have
only to turn to the Inhabitants of Oceania, be-
cause these natives have never progressed any
farther in the art of capturing fish than did their
ancestors centuries ago. The Poynesian hooks
are generally barbed and some curious specimens
have been collected in New Zealand says the
Hawaiian Star One of these is made from Sec
ton Of a dogs jawbone, single tooth, which
has been filed to sharp point being left for the
barb. In this same country hook that has been
pointed with human bone is regarded as possess
in exceptionally fine qualities for attracting the.
fish.
The best workmanship is exhibited in the hooks
which are used without bait and which correspond
10 our spoons. Pearl or other iridescent shell
furnishes the part which attracts the fish, and fire.
quently the shank consists of the ribbed part Of
she'll near the hinge Of the valve, thereby giving
the hook a spinning motion as 1t is drawn through
the water. Many elaborate designs have a
wooden shank, neatly carved and inlaid with q
silver of haliots shell, while the barb is Of sharp
ened bone. The extreme delicacy required In ac-
curately piecing together Of these composita
hooks may be imagined.

Look at Tennessee"

An article under this title, written by
Willis Hard, appeared in the December
Delineator as an installment of the
series of articles on laws of the different
States concerning women. Prominent
people of the State quoted in this article
are Mrs. Kate Campbell Robinson, of
Jackson, president of the Tennessee Con-
gress of Mothers, who spoke in Union
City last month; Maria Thompson Da-
vies, author of Miss Salina Sue"
The Melting of Molly" and other
books; Mrs. A. B. Cooke, president of
the Woman's Federation of Clubs in
Tennessee; Mrs. A. S. Caldwell, chair
man of the Woman's Legislative Com
mittee of this State; Luke Lea, John
Bell Keeble, and others.
According to Mr.. Hard's article, Ten
nessee seems to treat its women about
as well as any State, but the main OBJ
lection OF the club women named is
that the State laws are not strictenough
for the married women. In Tennessee
a single woman can be sued for debt,
but marriage exempts her from being
sued. A married woman, if she can
get credit, may run a hat bill to the
sky, and when the milliner comes to be
paid she can simply say, Il am mar
ried." That is all there is to it. She
cannot be sued
Uniform laws regarding the rights of
women throughout the entire States are
what club women are working for, those
laws so fixed that woman, married or
will feel the responsibility
Of her citizenship.

Wilsonian.

President-elec Wilson's statement oil
his intentions as to the tariff is charac-
teristically lucid and businesslike. He
does not believe it is necessary to un-
dertake tedious Investigations. He OBJ
serves, truly and dryly, that every
Congress has investigated. He might
have added that investigation has been,
under Republican auspices, evasion.
The tariff-eommission idea was nothing
more than plot upon the part Of shifty
politicians, who felt that they were near
their last shift and hoped to staye off
few more years the revision that the
public demanded. How the public
easy going, easy forgetting, marvel
ousiy forgiving, very much inclined to
let bad enough alone, very little inclined
TO attend to its own Enthusiastically
awakened, with Chinese unexpected
ness, inaugurated a revolution, and cast
out its Manchu princess with the hope
of establishing and maintaining re-
public, is written large and plain in the
election returns. Nobody who favors
delay and investigation favors revision!
All that is, or ever was, needed to cut
special privilege out of the tariff sys-
tenn is majority of the voters plus an
honest desire on the part of the Presi-
dent aud Congress to abolish, at once
and forever, system of exploitation as
simple in design, although complex in
detail as the economic theory of Ali
Bahia and the Forty Thieves, or that of
the Barbary pirates.
President-elect Wilson's words are
words of cheer. Let him stick to his
knitting and, come what may, he cam
1ot be branded dodger, as President
Roosevelt was, or gutter as President
Taft proved to be. If Congress proves
Wiling to cooperate social justice"
