Owing to the war the supply Of "sea
S~oss." Of which several hundred
,i.usand pounds. valued at almost
$4,000, have been imported annually,
for the most part from France and
Germany, has virtually come to an
end. Sea moss (not seaweed) Is the
popular name Of several kinds OF
smnIl marine animals that grow In
colonies Of branching, plantiike form.
Their commercial value arises from
their having . horny skeleton which

assured she will probably select her
mate In way that would now, with
our false standards of conduct, be con
sidered perfectly indecent, but seeing
she is the mother of the resulting
rice, 1t seems only right she should
do so. One thing Is certain, that a
large number of degrading unions
which now take place would at once
cease and the whole psychology Of
marriage would be raised to a higher
level.
Until the economic position of wonl-
en- is altered woman is most unfairly
handicapped. 1t 10 undoubtedly for
the good Of the individual, of the ma
lions and of civilization itself that the
financial position OF woman shall be
assured as that of a man. Already
the freedom of women has begun, but
1t is In vain to st!te Off the prison
er's shackles one By one so long as the
most CALLING one Of all is retained in
the form of economic dependence. No
doubt professional and business ca
reers have to some small extent solved
the problem, but much more 10 re-
quired. A radical change of view as
to the provision of daughters as com
pared with sons seems to Doctor
Schofield to be an essential step.

the bait-casterS machine-because IL
Is the connecting link between the an
gler and the fish-ls the line. This
line is a beautiful and delicate thing.
1t is made of braided silk because 1t
must be small, supple, smooth and
strong-small and supple, to lie COM
pactly in the reel; smooth, to run with
the least amount of friction through
tip and guides-and leave the skin on
your thumb; strong, to hold one OF
Dixie Carroll's old "he-whops."
This beautiful delicate line must
be cared for by the angler-not so
much because 1t costs good money as
because care is the price of safety.
The bait-caster who knows his busi-
ness and attends to II does not let
his line dry on the reel to mildew and
become rotten; he dries II In the air.
| He turns his line every few days, end
for end. He carefully tests the cast
ing end each day for strength. The
enthusiast even keeps his pet lines in
alright cases during the closed sea-
son.
How, them shall a bait-caster, with
joy-forever bamboo rod and reel
built like a watch and pet line and a
favorite lure, put up with guides and
tip that are open to suspicion? He
just can't be expected to do It. that's
all.
"0ther greyffes the angler may not
have" writes Dame Julianna Berners,
"savynge but yf ony fisshe breke away
after he is take on the hoke or Giles
that he catche nought, whyehe ben
not grevous."
No; It is not grevous" to "catche
nought," for catching fish is not all
of fishing" And part Of the other
delights of fishing is using casting
rod-with perfect guides.

Have Faith and Fear Not.

This world is largely what we make
1t. Destiny, environment, hereditary
tendency-these things sink into insig-
nificance beneath the power OF our
wills and the possibilities within our
souls. The universe. with all its
riches, all its privileges, all Its joys. is
ours for the getting. 1t waits to be
conquered. but it waits for the master
hand. Formidable is everything worth
while TO the fearful. to the doubtful, to
the weak in spirit.
To these every obstacle is magnified.
To the brave in heart there are no OBJ
stacles. They wade through them and
use them as stepping stones. They are
impelled by hope begot Of their faith;
they are sustained by courage begot OF
their hope; they have strength and en-
durance, begot Of thier courage. There
from emanates success and therein
lies the antIdote of worry.-Exchange.

fastened the drill which did the bor-
ing, while the upper part Of the. spool
was fitted into hole in horizontal
piece of wood three feet long and two
inches square. This piece of wood
was. clamped at one end to another
upright and stationary piece of wood,
while the other end was held by the
left hand of the person drilling and
pressed against his chest. With his
right hand he worked the bow in such
fashion as to cause the spool to rotate
back and forth, a few turns at time,
thus working the drill and eventually
making hole through the piece of
agate. Only through long practice
could a perfect hole be drilled in this
manner, and the process, as may be
imagined, was very tedious and in
volyed much labor.
Agate Is an exceedingly hard min
eral and the hardest variety comes
from certain volcanic regions In
Uruguay. 1t is imported to this coun-
try by the Chicago lapldary through
the American consul, who has 1t boxed
and shipped to Chicago, the raw stone,
travelling some 5000 miles before they
reach the end of their journey. One
box will contain ten thousand dollars
worth of agate.
When a shipment arrives the guide
maker examines each piece of stone
through magnlfying glass to locate
any flaws and determine the best and
most economical way of cutting 1t into
slabs. A revolving Circular steel knife
is then used to cut the piece Of agate
into slabs about one-fourth Of an inch
I'm thickness. These slabs are then
cut UP into smaller pieces about an
inch square. The small pieces are
then fitted into the machine for drill
ing, the size of the drill used depend
ing upon the size Of the guide to be
made.
When hole is finally bored through
piece of agate 1t is next ground into
circular shape on grindstone by
hand. This grinding takes but a few
seconds and the circular ring is then
given more exact shape on another
grinding machine. The next step is to
bevel the sharp inner and outer edges
of the agate ring. Finally the rings
are polished and mounted in metal
holders, either as guides or tips, ready
to be fitted to fishing rods. The fin
ished product is a delight to the an
gler's eye.
The guides on a rod, as all bait
casters know, are an important part
of its makeup. Fishing. as bait-cast-
ers fish, is In no small part matter
o. mechanics. Rod, reel, line, leader,
lure and hook are all essential parts
of delicate machine which the angler
handles according to his skill-and
luck. This delicate machine is no
more efficient than its poorest part.
And rough. untrue, understood guides
can play the mischief with the eff
cheney and durability CT this intricate
machine.

The remarkable lack Of women's In

Schofeld points out, Is a very curious

In earlier times the value Of mans

then was cultivated better than a

Since then the resemblance of the
sexes has Increased.
The result Is nowhere more marked
