LoNooN's WOMAN POLICE.

Around the corner from Scotland
Yard, London's famous police head
quarters, are the Offices of the wom-
an police service, says the New
York World. They wear a uniform
that is as much like that of regu-
lar bobby as skirts will permit. And
the policewomen address their femi-
nine officers as "Sirp For they SIM
ply can't assume a brisk, military air
and say MADAME" according to the
head of the force.
Although without official stand
ing, the woman police force is look
ing forward to the day when its
members can patrol beat and push
citizens around in the name of the
law. At present the force is COM
posed of volunteers, and they have
done some very excellent work since
the war began. In fact, the force
had itsinception at the time the con.
fict started.

HOW INDIANS CATCH SALMON
Equipment Consisting Of "Grab-
Hooks and Long Poles Is Crude
But Very Effective. -

The Indians fish for salmon with a
"grabhook," a large iron hook fastened
to q pole by loose cord three or four
feet long. A hole at the blunt end of
the hook that slips over the tip of the
pole keeps 1t In place until the fish is
hooked. Then the hook is pulled off the
pole and the cord gives the fisherman a
chance to play his fish Is necessary be-
fore dragging 1t ashore. The hooks
are made by the blacksmith, but the
poles, about twenty feet In length, the
Indians make themselves Of red fir, the
Southern Workman says.
Taking a rough piece Of dry wood of
the required length, they patiently
work at it with drawshave and knife
until it Is the right size and tapered
to suit the workman. Then 1t is usu-
ally hardened in the Goals before put
ting on the cord, which they braid
themselves. If pole breaks, as often
happens, the broken parts are lashed
together with string. pitch Is smeared
over and melted by being rubbed with
hot stone, which makes the pole as
strong as before. The Indians general
ly fish from the bank or from plat
forms built over the water. They thrust
the long pole out across the river as
far as they can and let the current
carry it down and iHto the bank, trust
ing to chance and quick jerk to hook
the fish If they feel one in the water.

This Is the manner OF courtship In

The Mexican young woman Is coy,

will remain back Of the curtain. By
the slightest movement Of the cur

is not entirely Indifferent. After a
day or two she may even show her
face or wave her hands as a further
mark Of encouragement, and, after
several days, she may appear on the

COLOR VERY CURIOUS THING
Mass Of Dull Tlnts Is Far More Visible
At Distance Than Are Broken
Lines Of Brighter Hues.

It has been doubted whether
troops can best be concealed from
the enemy by clothing them in a
neutral color, like khaki OF gray. in
spite Of the fact that war offices have
adopted it. Color is a very curious
thing, and a mass of dull tints is far
more visible at a distance than
broken lines Of bright are.
The lion, it is true, affects a
khaki shade because of his very pc
culiar surroundings, but nothing
could apparently be much more vivid
than the coats of the tiger and the
leopards, yet no creatures are more
invisible. Not very long ago some
curious experiments with artillery
shells, painted in stripes of bright
red, green and yellow, were made at
AldershOt, and these at few hun
dred yards distance were found
most strangely difficult to detect. We
might take a hint from the animal
world, which with certain special ex-
ceptions depending on peculiar hab-
its, is almost universally colored dark
above and light below. There is
much more to be said than might be
supposed for the suggestion that SOL
diers should be given caps distinctly
darker than the rest of their uni
form, and furnished with a white
band.

ONE WAY TO COLLECT BILL
Surgeon Makes Wealthy Man Pay for
the Burial of Brother Who
Died in Arizona.

An Observation-Disclosures occurred in
Arizona In 1893 when the Chicago ex-
position was In full blast. Billy, be-
loved but lmpecunious citizen, passed
in his checks. Doctor BifOrd, an old
army surgeon, attended him in his last
Illness, and afterwards embalmed
the body, placed it In a metallic cas-
ket, and made ready to ship 1t to John,
a wealthy brother of the deceased,
who lived in Chicago. But the rail-
road company refused to receive the
casket unless the freight was prepaid.
The doctor telegraphed to the Chicago
brother, who replied, refusing to remit.
Thereupon the resourceful physician
had the front of the casket painted
and inscribed: "In this casket repOses

Chicago, WEIGHED on the embalming

ordered his brother to be decently
buried at Tucson.

Raw Material Is Obtained From the
Stock Yards and Is Manufactured
by an Interesting Process.

While perhaps most violinists know
how the gut strings they use are man
ufactured. there may be those who are
uniformed as to the manufacture Of
such strings. This may be explained
In few words.
The gut d, A, and Il strings are
made from the intestines Of the sheep,
In the full grown, mature animal. such
intestines are from 40 to 80 feet in
length.
The raw material is obtained from
the stock yards, and is first thoroughly
cleansed of all fat and flesh fiber, by
dull knives arranged on a drum turned
by a crank, says the Musician. The
white and tough membrane that Is
left is then split by an expert in this
work. by bringing It against the blade
Of a safety razor set upright In a table
before the splitter. The material Is
thus split into seven strands. These
strands are then spun together, and
placed on frames where they are thor
Oughly dried.
The e string of European make re-
quires four strands, and the E string
of American make six. The strands,
at one end seeured.to an upright post,
are twisted together while in damp,
pliable condition by means of a spin
ming wheel. After removal from the
drying frames. the strings are cut in
lengths, coiled and boxed in oiled pa
per for shipment. Very fine emery
paper laid on a grooved aluminium
block is used while the strings are still
on the drying frames, by passing the
covered block over the strings, as
many strings being polished as there
are grooves in the block.

Bad Habit.

Don't call the children kids. A KID
is a goat and, while goats are all right
in their way, children are better. The
dictionary says kid" applied to child
is slang. And so 1t is. 1t depreciates
the child. There is no sense In taking
away the dignity of a child by calling
him an animal, says the Columbus (O)
State Journal. We must KEEP up the
human relation, where respect, sym
pathy, love dwell. The older people
may overlook the false'appeIIation, but
it stays with the child and makes
him feel, after all, that he Is only a
little goat, and that his fond delight
is in eating old rags and paper boxes
Really, the child Is an angel, rather
than a goat, and Is entitled to the
sweet considerations that belong to a
human being; and II he does not get
these 1t is very likely he Will be sort
of goat all his life. SO drop the KID
vocabulary and give the child every
chance to be true human.

Among the many innovations which
the age has produced, none seems
