HUNTING THE ABALONE.
Submarine Snail Of the Pacific I:
Gaining Importance.
From the San Francisco Cali,

FROM the San Francisco Call.
California has become noted among the
nations of the world for its many sources
OF wealth. While the god fields first
drew fasteners within it's boundaries, its
great agricultural possibilities opened
their eyes and made them stay And now
within the last few years, there has
developed an industry that bids fair TO
equal all previous ones in the matter OF
wealth-giving supplies
Hunting the abalone in the waters Of
the Pacific has come to be one of the
popular sports TO which tourists are
treated on their arrival In California sea-
coast towns. But aside from the mere
fun derived by pleasure parties In their
pursuit, the abalcne industry has as
sumed enormous proportions. While the
beautiful iridescent shells are much in
demand for inlaid work and the blister
pearls which they often secrete are en-
ployed extensively in jewelry OF all sorts.
the abalone itself is used widely for food.
In some cases the meat is dried For
this purpose the flesh il placed on trays
and exposed to the warm rays OF the sun.
gradually becoming very dark in color
and extremely hard. The abalone In this
form is only intended for oriental use
and is shipped In large quantities TO
China and Japan. For canning however
the shellfish is cut in small cubes and
thoroughly cooked. The pieces are then
sealed in alright jars and sent to al
parts OF the world.

From the most remote antiquity there
has been q belief. or call IL suspicion
or q fancy. that stars have relations to
and influences upon souls.
When Wordsworth made the phrase
THE soul that rises in us. our life's star"
he struck u chord full OF the overtones
OF the centuries.
The scholars Of a thousand years
studied. classified and applied the laws
Of star influence as II it were a fact.
Every king had his astrologers.
The fancy grew that those myriad
points Of light in the sky were but each
one a twin with some human creature,
that every souls fate and future lay
somewhere bound up with some one OF
those twinkling indices upon the page Of
night.
Reduced to plain English. the idea I'M
DERIVING all this is that some will or
powers In the unknown around about me
moves me as pawn upon the chess
board and determines the events of my
life.
1t Is an instructive attempt to find rea.
son ana order In the apparent haphazard
Of earthly happenings: 1t is the effort of
the mind to rationalize the universe
We shall probably never be able to mas
ter the secret Of why things happen, but
to the last day of tine humanity will re-
fuse to believe that things happen for
no reason at all. Intelligence simply can
not conceive or world whose god is
chance.
like to think Of my star, though n
know II to be only a pretty fancy. / like
it. first, because l love TO taste the creed
or the past, OF other times and men: IL
seems to make me brother to them

PECULIARITIES OF PAIN.
Location Often Far From the Seat
Of the Trouble.


Pain sometimes behaves in a curious
fashion. There was a soldier in London.
after the Boer war. who complained of
excruciating neuralgia pains in his right
foot.
This very much amused his friends. for
he had lost his right leg. The explana-
ton was that the pain happened to be in
the trunks of those nerves which had
sent branches to the foot.
Sometimes a patient comes to a doctor
complaining of a pain in the knee, and he
is greatly surprised when the doctor tells
him that the site OF the affection Is not
the knee. but the hip. We are all ia
miliar with the pain under the shoulder
blade which comes from an affected liver.
The stomach. too. can produce pain in
many parts of the body. a dfsordered
stomach will give US pain as far away
as the head. and when one gets a cramp
in his toe 1t Is often due to the acidity
of the stomach. Swallow a pinch Of soda
and the cramp will disappear.
An aching tooth will produce neuralsic
pains In the face and very often a violent
pain at the back Of the head Is due to the
faraway kidneys, which themselves may
suffer no pain at the time.

FRIED CHICKEN FOLLY.

From the Columbia State.

FROM the Columbia State
Two or three years ago we essayed the
task OF correcting the public taste in re-
spect to fried chicken, pointing out that
while this article OF diet is not to be de-
spised, the idea that II is a piece de re-
sistance in e square meal town Is wholly
unnecessary and ill-grounded. We be-
lieved that we had the progress OF the
myth scotched, but so regularly as cleo
ton year comes around il discioses new
vitality.
Yesterday bright young man boastfuIiy
announced that he had had fried chicken
the evening before with Miss -" nam
ing charming young woman We re-
monstrated that the association of fried
chicken with any Columbia girl was
PROCLAMATION. whereupon shamed look
stole over his visage and he apologixed.
but. nevertheless. we could not fail to OBJ
serve that his lips showed an inclination
to smack-whereby We suspected that I'm
one respect at least he was q weak man,
lacking In that sturdy self-control and as
sertion that marks the robust product
of a city and state In which strong nour-
ishing and keenly relished victCais. or
vittles. have from immemorial times been
had In abundance.
Fried chicken has it's virtues. though it
is not always properly cooked even in
South Carolina. Sometimes there is too
much gravy and sometimes there is not
enough Rightly adjusted fried chicken
is not discovered In more than one house
in a hundred in this commonwealth or in
one house In q thousand In Georgia.
North Carolina and other benighted re-
gions, but. at best, IL Is commonplace
dish. We lay II down that no chicken
ought to be suffered to grow beyond
broiling size. barring. OF course. game
ROSTERS. hens that lay eggs and limit
ed number useful for making soup for
the younglings of mankind.
The fried chicken fooishness may be
attributed to the empty chatter Of hend
shaking politicians They praise IL and
beguile otherwise sensible housewives.

The sense Of the coy is never so fully
realized as in camp in the woods on a
rainy day. The darkling morning gives
the warning. and you hustle through tho
campfire performances Of the breakfast
before the rain shall extinguish your
blaze and blacken your Goals. Potatoes
will not bake in ashes soaked with rain.
nor will trout broil on their suspending
sticks. the salt pork chunk atop. If the
blaze is all smoke and no flames.
But you are in no further hurry. for all
the restful rainy day. The tent is never
tight and the fascination is In trying to
make It tight. Not that you mind the
dampening spray that is ever sitting
through, for you are dressed for 1t. The
dampness and sickness Is everywhere.
and you keep trying to reduce IL. This
employs you. and when you succeed in
stopping a drip or turning aside rivulet
that encroaches on your bunk you have
all the sense of q conqueror. You are
Soy when water Is not running down
your back. coy when yoL sit and watch
the kissing march of rain over the lake.
coy when the ever-singing music Of the
drops is heard from myriads OF leaves for
miles and miles, coy when you think
how nice IL is that you have not a march
Of miles along the dripping trail. but are
safe at home.
The trout spring to the surface out
for trout always but you take only what
you can eat. and so. now. just sit in the
tent door and watch them.
1t is the day TO sleep. The thrum OF the
big drops from the high oaks suggests
drowsness You sleep till noon. Then.
after the fireless lunch. you put in more
sleep You do the resting for q whole
year. curled up under oilskins over your
couch. Properly dampened. you are
ironed out OF all the years wrinkles by

When real night comes you light the
tree lamps that you may the better see

smoking the dampened tobacco. telling
old tales, till II Is time for more sleep

Municipal Slaughter House.
From the Boston Post.

From the Boston Post.
That the city Of Boston should go into
the business of killing cattle and hogs
and sheep. as well as of selling them in a
municipal market, is Mayor Fitzgera.d's
latest suggestion for reducing the cost of
living. To Americans this will doubtless
seem a novel idea.
In Europe. however, it is considered
the natural thing for an up-to-date city
to do. In Great Britain, for instance,
such cities as Glasgow, Edinburgh and
Leeds have taken over the slaughtering
business, the latter city possessing a
slaughter house that is considered a
model among modern abattoirs. In
France. municipal slaughter houses are
numerous. and In Germany there is hard
ly q city Or town. even among the small
est, which does not slaughter its own
meat.
The advantage to the public in clean
illness and safety is said to be great.
1t is possible that the national scope Of
the industry in America would make 1t
difficult for q city to compete with the
meat giants Of Chicago and Omaha.
Nevertheless. the mayor has excellent
precedents for the success of his plan.
