In the DAYS Of the eustie.

I was making a new dress for my
self. 1t was a good many years ago, in
the days when we wore bustles. The
hustle which I wore was a homemade,
crude affair. When fitting the dress,
I had put on the hustle in order to get
the proper hang to the skirt. So, to
save time, / tied the hustle around
outside of my house dress, and then
tried on the new skirt.
During the morning I found 1t neces-
sary to go to the store, and while wait
ing in the crowded grocery for my
parcels, a friend, came up to me and
said, to the amusement Of the by
ISLANDERS: "Why, Lille, what have
you tied around your waist7"
I found I had forgotten to take the
hustle off, and had worn 1t on the
outside Of my house dress all the
way to the store.-Exchange.

Take NO Chances.

The following interesting bit of In
formation is from Safety Engineering
'Not every. n understands how
infiammable and explosive chlorate of
potash is. One man learned In a
peculiar manner. He was carrying
chlorate of potash tablets in a small
bottle in his coat pocket; the cork
presumably became loosened and fell
out. Entering a street car, he knocked
the ashes from his pipe, as he sup
posed. and put 1t In his pocket. In
a few moments there were spurts Of
blue flame, and the tablets went of.
For a time the man was In danger
Of being mistaken for an enemy alien,
carrying bombs. The mystery of the
explosion was solved by finding small
particles Of glass wedged in the cloth
ing around where the bottle had been.
Other than the shock to his own
nerves and those Of the passengers,
the only damage vas to his clothes,
which were burned badly"

Production.

There are 100000 people in India
engaged in the production of silk. Cat

SILK industry of India are entirely do
mesticated creatures. The Indians
collect the cocoons spun by caterpil-
lars and allow them to hatch, an ex-

until they lay eggs and when the cater
pillars are large enough they are placed
on trees to feed. When a tree
is stripped piece Of cloth is hung
from limb and the caterpillars crawl
onto it and are moved to another tree.
Tasar or tussor silk comes from
China and Japan. Muga silk is prod
uct of Assam. Fri silk comes from
caterpillars which feed on the castor
oil plant. It Is Of great value in In
dia. because it is the only silk that
can be spun from cocoons without kill

therefore the only silk that can be

that one Of the bravest men in his
company, corporal with dem. and

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades In a Gasoline
Sleigh Was Distinct
Success.

A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades In q motor
sleigh, and q Number of photographs,
taken at various stages of the journey,
are reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
Of the first army tank, conquering, as
1t did, all kinds of obstacles. Swimming
the surface of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke it's way
through primeval passes with never a
stumble. The rescue of an automobile,
hOpelessly stalled in the drifts of Sno-
Qualmie pass, was a mere incident in
its progress. Crossing deep gully on
pair of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers Of
the trail know we'll he Is never that. It
is the elimination of much human hard
ship, as we'll as canine inefficiency, that
recommends the gasoline method.
