"What shall we do In case we are at
tacked by some ruffian?" is the question
women have asked In every part of the
tountry since the recurrence of the bru
tal "hcld-ui s" by tramps. The man to
whom the question is put, sa) s the Cin
tinnati Enquirer, will Immediately an
swer: "Carry a revolver." But wom
en dread revolvers almost cs much as
they do the possibility of attccK when
aut at night Few women possess the
nerve necessary to usa a pistol with ef
lect wnen set upon by a burly snacj-er
in a lonely road. Then there is Vce ob
jection to a revolver iu the possession
of a woman that she would' he averse to
suspecting the moiive of t-Vtry man she
met. arse! -vo'i.o prrbofciy fail :.o draw the
revolver until Joo ia e irr J ear cf mak
ing a foolish rr.ir.taUe. What, then, can
be provided for her that wil! Le ss dead
ly in her hinds, as a revolver, and yet
absolutely safe so far as she is concerned,
and ever ready at hand whether wanted
for use or not?
The answer to the puzzle has been pro
vided by tbose who mal e women's hat
pins. A hatpin has l-.ee.n drsirred and
will soon bo ready for Bale that is in
tended primarily for une as a weapon of
defense. It is in reality a stiletto,
masquerading" as an innocent little hat
pin. It is rn';' rr vp tep!. that will

light that, used by a woman frenzied by
fear, it is lively to be more dpngerous
to a hi?hwarman than a Catling gun.
In considering the ndvantacrcs cf this
weapon in the hsnds of women, those
who r.dvocv.e lis use point out that
every wrimr.n i familiar with its use,
iui.3 vh: aviri-e woman would Snd a

cr.n be w Listed fut in a second by a prac
ticed hand. No woman would care to be
forever pinching a revolver from her
pocVet when out in a lonely district. And
yot there are times when a suspicious
looking character comes into the offing
and prud-rce wh'srers: "Beware of
him." While rr.ct women would shrink
r.nder those circumstances from pulling
out a revolver, it is an innocent act to
put the hind to ihe hat and draw out one
of the stiletto hatpins. With this in her
hand the nervous woman is ready for
the stranper. whatever his intentions.
If he is an innocent man he will prob-
"o Loiice of the woman's ac
tion. If he is a rascal it is more than
probable that h will mark th motive
for the act and let the woman pass unmo
lested. It is an axiom with the member of the
ponce rorce that the woman with the
hatpin ia more to be feared than an
armed and desperate burglar. The rea
cm ia that the burglar' hand could not
travel hipward without a bullet or a
plub disabling his arm. The woman
with the hatpin, however, haa to be
watched with lynx area, and even then
is likely to have the weapon concealed
np her sleeve for use when opportunity
?ome. The inventors of the stiletfb hat
pin had this in mind when they decided
to design a weapon that would be pe
culfarly a woman's weapon, and yet be
rufflciently deadly to do as much damage
as the most ardent opponent of the gen
tleman of the road could wlah.

To the making of Irish bulls there is

er. Here is one of the latest breaks of
the Celtic species, if the humorist is to be
believed:
An Irishman Just over sees a telephone
on the wall, and never having seen one
before, asks what it is.
"It's a telephone." he Is told.
'That's a tillyphone used for?" queries

""Why, to talk through, of course."
Tan I talk to Mike upstairs through

"Why, of course." '
Pat goes to the telephone and calls up
Sffke. "Is that you. Mike?"
"Tea," cornea the answer.
"Well." say a Pat. "stick yer head oat

There is a lake of water In the crater
or Mount Ranier. Its depth and extent
are not known, and may never be. The
discovery of the lake was made by Prof
John B. Flett, who has charge of tlie
Dotanical department of the , Tacoma
high school, and two men, Arthur Gilles
pie and Frank Weymouth, who are stu
dents of the high school, says a Tacoma
(Wash.) report. The three have made
the ascent from the. east side by way of
the White river glacier. The ascent was
made Saturday, July 25, the three spend
ing that night in an ice cave In Crater
peak.
The ascent was made over long, vast
snowfields, and up great reaches of gla
; u i". '1 xu-sc sclera were bisected with
numerous crtvas?e, which caused the
scalers to arde back and forth across
tne tace of tha mountain. Much time
was lost in this way, as the crevasses
rould not be seen util the climbers were
almost upon them. It was after six
o'clock Saturday mine before they ar
rived at the rim of Crater peak. A fu
rious wind, accompanied by driving
snow, simultaneously gathered over the
top of the mountain, and the three began
to hunt for shelter.
Passing around the rim of the crater,
steam was observed issuing from a hole
about the size of a man's body, and,
squeezing through i--r hole. Prof. Flett
found himself in commodious envern,
the bottom of which was roinpcsrd of
rocks and volcanic ash maLir? vo the
rim of the crater, while the roof con
sisted of the ice fcraaiion covert re the
mouth of the crater. The boys followed
into tb.3 chamber, and the three fcun
themrelves -"arir.lv and oozily housed
for the nirh. the drv steam coming u
irom th."i b""-"ls of the mountain tem
pe-ringthe arctic rtmosphere.
Th a chamber sloped away towr.rd th
center of the crater, arrreeable to the
contour of the eraser rim, but the slope
was such that th three could lie down
on the larre stoacr- without, dar.srer of
sliding into the darkening cavern be-
Tfath. Prof. Flett's alpenstock
nrpd from his band and rolled 75 feet
down the throat of the cavern, and a rope
was tied around Weymouth, who ven
tured into the darhness beneath and se
cured it. As he descended he liehted
matches, carefully exploring- his way.
and finding that the mountain beneath
Is honeycombed with passages, which
emit quite jets of steam, but probably
in the remote prst vcrrdtirg forth red-
hot lavo. The three then began to roll
stones down the Incline. Some of these
would clear all the partitions separating
the passages, against which a few of
the stones lodged, and after sending back
a rumbling roar for a minute, os they re
bounded from side to side of the caverns,
they could be heard splashing into the
lake beneath.
The lahe has its source In the melting
of the tremendous quantities of snow
that fall within the crater, and which is
perpetually acted upon in certain por
tions of the crater by th" 'rsm 1et ris
ing from th' interior. There is no sur
face outlet fcr th f - --"f-r o-rr the rim
of the err t. op, and !f ther- wr low

was Sunday, descended into Paradise
valley by way of the old route by Gib

On the way down they met five young
men from Seattle, who were starting to
make the ascent, in which endeavor they
wpre poeful, thev reaching the rim
of the crstrr the next day fMondoy) at
noon. Prof. Flett and the two boys went
around the side of the roountsir. cross
ing the Cowlitr. and other glaciers, and
finally arriving at their camp on a ridge
overlooking the White river glacier
Prof. Flett believe that the route from
the east side. Is one of the bt that
could be selected, the slope gradients be
ing easier, there being no dizzy preci
pices, with the trail following a shelving
of rock, aa there Is on the Gibraltar side
of the mountain, and no dangerous and
untoward cleavers to be traced.

"You are invited to a muslcale on the
ship Orinoco, in Erie Basin, Friday even
ing, August 28."
A number of persons responded to this
Invitation cheerfully, for they knew the
captain very well, relates the New York
Times. He bad been in the South Amer
ican trade to this port for a number of
years, married a Brooklyn girl, and
made money for the owners of his ship
in spite of the number of steamers that
bore down upon him. The mate received
the gucst3 at the gangway, and the cheer
ful captain and his wife did duty below
The captain displayed with pride a new
piano presented by the owners, a beauti
ful piece of polished mahogany, with
works of the best construction; a piano
that he said would not move from its
bearings If the ship turned turtle.
The captain further explained that he
put aboard a cheaper piano at the request
of his wife when they were married.
Sailors love music, and the good effects
it were so apparent on the crew that
the owners had decided to put them on
all their sailing vessels, beginning with
his. It is nothing surprising these days
to hear a piano on a good sailing ship,
he said. "Why, only the other day I
heard the strains of a piano coming from
an old canal boat over there."
When the muslcale began the captain,
his wife accompanying, sang in a round
md pleasant voice Tosti's "Good-by."
Then the mate, with the same accom
panist, played melodies of South Amer
ica that seemed to make the ship roll and
bow to the waves under the southern
aioon. The effect of a combination lihe
that in a Fifth avenue drawlrg room
.;: bn electric. A purser from a South
.'.:-;cr!can steamer anchored in the basin
p'uyod a horn solo. The captain's wife
sann sonps cf theAmazon women, asshe
had pictured them in her voyages, and
then came a rousing glee by the crew.
"3t is a rare thine now," said the cap
tsio, "to find a sailing ship without a

Ten thousand dollars will be raised
by the Chinese of Portland to aid in the
boycott iu China against American
Goods soine into that country. Two
meetings of the local colony have been
held st one of the joss houses, with
lage attendance, and keen enthusiasm
was shown.
It was decided that each Chinese in
Portland should contribute at least $2,
but higher sums will be accepted. Al
ready subscription lists have been cir
culated and they are meeting with good
success. It is not known at this date
how much has been raised, as many ot
the subscription lists have been sent to
the canneries of the surrounding dis
trict, and they have not been returned.
The work of collecting money to aid
in the boycott is being conducted by of
ficials at Ban Franci-co. The moye-
ment in Portland was etarted by receiv
ing a communication fiom there.
"The feeling ti aid in the bovoott is
strong among the Ouinamen of Port
land," said a Chinese merchant this
morning. We intend to give as much
aid as possible. There are several of
the merchants who are at the Lead of
the movement, and it is believed that
we will be able to raise about $10,000.
Vq have sent out subscription lists and.
they will be returned in a few weekB.
We will complete the collection shortly
after the close of the canning season.
"We wnnt a tree trade of people be
tween China and America, the same as
you have with other nations. We are
only a small colony to aid in this matter.
Every Chinaman in the world has been
asked to put up 82. Some of the
wealthier class will give more. At
home lecturers are sent out to explain
the matter to the people."

come from various parts of the

wen, now DusinewT asked a re
porter of a wholesale flour agent. "You
would be surprised." he re-plied, "to
know that in this time of general pros
perity we are selling less flour than in
hard times. From 18S3 to 1895 I sold
more flour than ever before or since.
Business is thrlring In many lines, but
the country is too prosperous for the
Jour men and the bakers. Why is it?
Simply because the people have money
enough to buy other things than bread.
When the country is hard up people get
along on bread as the staple of the ta
ble. Now they use the fancy cfreals,
breakfast foods, can use more meat and
vegetables and generally expand their
diet, which, of course, lessens the de
mand for bread." Washington Star.

Practically all commercial fishing in
freath waters is carried on by the use
of nets, whether a rowboat or an ui-
u-u.i iug is employed. The gill net is I
the handiest and is much used in Lake j
Erie. This forms a fence on the bottom j
01 tne lake ahout six feet high and a ny-
where from fc"00 feet to several miles I
long. These nets are nwid of thin cord ''
and can be stowed away in a very small
oompasa, says the Buffalo Express. A ;
fish will swim against the fence of net- I
ting, get its head caught in the mesh. !
nd will stay thre untfl taken out bv j r
the fishermen. The nets are kept in I i
position in the water bv lead sinkers I
on the bottom and cork bobs on top. !
The entire net is also anchored secure
ly, while the spot is marked by a buoy. T.--
Crill neu often come in sections .100 j ,ransaCl
feet lonr. and are fastened together in i
g-angs. Pisihing tugs often tet a gang j
thatis over four miles Iomt. Each boat '
is equipped with two gangs.
Pound nets, whose us in New York
waters in prohibited, are used in Ohio
and Canadian waters. They form large
receptacles in the water into whirh
fish find their way and are prevented '
from getting out by a trap-like ar- j
rKement at the entrance. Game fUh
are often caught in pound nets. Then
there are also smaller tran net, fyke
nets, and many other vritip Km
of which are peculiar to different localities.
Some commercial fl.Mntr curried
on by the use of set line for sturgeons.
, but such means are not exten
sively employed.
