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 anglew0rmS 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 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 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 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

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 a bath and dressed herself in party clothes. Now Philadelphian has patented q 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 special pipe. and in this manner the needed vacuum is created for cleaning purposes.

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

In the logging camps of Oregon and Washington a'"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 Mechan- ics Magazine. The skyline plan is to run cable through blocks or pulleys suspended at 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. Tn operation the top cable Is lowered with its block. or pulley, directly over the log to be picked up; 1t is then pulled taut, raising the log with 1t by means of "chOker," or steel tongs. In the air a log can. or course, be moved much faster than on the ground.

EXEMPTION BOARDS
 GET INSTRUCTIONS
THEY ARE GIVEN WARNING OF SERIOUSNESS OF THEIR TASK
 JUDGES OF HUMAN LIVES.
DISCARD , ALL INFLUENCES
President Says Discharges Should Be Reduced To Minimum Number Con- sistent With Maintenance of
 Vital National Interests.

Washington.-The gravity of the task which faces members of local exemption boards is called to their at tention in solemn language in a com munication sent broadcast by the War Department and made public by Pro- vost Marshal General Crowder.
 ''The selected man offers his life" !" says Gen. Crowder. Tt will strength en you to remember that for every exemption or discharge that is made for individual convenience, or to es- cape personal loss of money or prop erty, or for favor or affection, some other man whose time would not otherwise have come must incur the risk of losing his life.'
 The boards are told they are not courts to adjust differences between two persons in controversy.
 You, acting for the government" " says the communication, "are to in- vestigate each case in the interests of the nation and never in the inter- ests of an individual"
 Gen. Crowder closes with the dec laration that the nation needs men quickly, and the boards will receive little praise and some blame"
 Your only reward" he says. must be the knowledge that at great per sonal sacrifice you are rendering your country an indispensable service in a matter of the utmost moment"
 President Wilson issued an execu- tive order directing government off cials to exercise the greatest care" in issuing exemption af1idavits to em- ployes in the civil executive depart ments, emphasizing the high nation al importance of carrying out "the spirit of the selective service act and of securing it's fullest effectiveness by holding in military service all drafted men who are not absolutely indispensable" to department work.

The Last of the Carlos.

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 1t, because as a living race he has practically disap- peared.
 How many thousands of Carlos dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 is largely a 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 1t is doubtful whether there are a 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.
