How Women Fish.

It doesn't serve to mellow a mans disposition to take a woman or two into the boat when he goes bass fish ing. For women always want to fish, yet never could they or would they stick those horrid. nasty, wriggling angleworms on the hook. So, between batting their hooks and removing the perch and pumpkin seeds and strain ing your spine to keep the boat from turning turtle and the lines from get ting snarled up, you have a most en- joyable outing, do you not! Yes, you do not I'll run the risk of answer ing that question for you, 'Zim" writes in Cartoons Magazine. And then, when you finally hook a five-pound bass weighing at least three pounds and eight ounces by his own standard scales, and play him for twenty min utes against their earnest entreaties not to bring that big, ugly thing into the boat or else they'd jump out !- you calmly ease up on the line and give him slack, also his freedom, do you not? Yes, you do not! And when the day is spent, they tell you what a gorgeous time they have had and make you promise to fetch them again, and you promise, of course, do you not? You do like-heaven

Girls! Use Lemons!
 Make a Bleaching,
 Beautifying Cream

The juice of two fresh lemons strain ed into bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quar- ter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifler at about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordi- nary cold creams. Care should be talk en to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in. then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lem on juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try 1t! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and hands. It naturally should help to soften, fresh en, bleach and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is simply mar velous to smoother rough. red hands. Adv.

"SKYLINE" LOGGING LATEST
Modern Methods of Western Camps Said to Be Cheaper and More Eff
 cient Than the Old Ways. .sl

In the logging camps of Oregon and Washington skyline" method of log ging is growing much cheaper and more efficient than the former method of dragging out logs from the forest by a donkey engine and cables operating on the ground, says Popular Meehan- ics Magazine. The skyline plan is to run a cable through blocks or pulleyS suspended at a great height on giant trees, so as to form a sort of trolley line by which the logs are hoisted into the air and then hauled over the tops of ordinary trees and other obstruc- tions to the rollway, where they are loaded aboard freight cars for ship ment
 The donkey engine which operates the skyline has five drums, including two for main lines and two for trip lines. The top cable. from which the log is suspended, is one of the main lines. while the other is used to haul the log. In operation the top cable is lowered with it's block, or pulley, directly over the log to be picked up; it is then pulled taut. raising the log with it by means of a "choker," or steel tongs. In the air a log can, of course. be moved much faster than on the ground. ~s

A Philadelphia Idea.

Music and cleaning the parlor have never been very closely associated. When the housewife wants to play the piano, he generally waits until she has cleaned the parlor, taken bath and dressed herself in party clothes. Now Philadelphian has patented a dust-filtering attachment which can be attached to the player-piano, and the ordinary housewife can now seat her self at the player-piano, obtain music via the keys, work the pedals for all she is worth and, with her child to run the vacuum cleaner about the floor she can have 1t clean in jiffy. The bellows of the player are attached to the vacuum cleaner by means of a special pipe, and in this manner the needed vacuum is created for cleaning purposes.

The Last of the Carihs.

The Carib Indian was the first rep resentative of Lo the poor red man to meet the tide of European travel. He was the one found by Columbus and the later Spanish explorers in the West Indies, and he has given the Caribbean sea his name. Thus he is assured a monument as long as geography shall last, and he needs it, because as a living race he has practically disap- peared.
 How many thousands of Carlos dwelt In the West Indies in 1492 is largely matter of conjecture They quickly began to die out under the hand of the conqueror, who worked them as slaves, and shot them when they made war. Today it is doubtful whether there are hundred pure blooded Carlos alive. Practically all of them live on the British island of Dominica, on a reservation set apart for them called Salybia.

Natural Study.

The teacher was hearing the class in nature. Trying to impress upon the children's minds the horror of cru city to animals. she told the following story:
 "Once a farmer went out to milk a COW and little calf switched the man in the eye with its tail. The man took out his knife and cut off the calf's tail. Now, children. what verse in the Bible should that man have re- membered?"
 Of course she had referred to Blessed are the merciful," but Philip had another answer:

An oldish man with waistline like the equator paused on the street to confer somewhat patronizing greet ing on an oldish woman.
 Well, yell-I was afraid yau had gone by the board? How are you get ting along?'
 "Oh, making money and taking on fat :"
 The only thing worth noticing about the small interchange was that the woman was q positive bone, and she sure didn't look as if she were making money.
