USES OF A PIECE OF STRING.
Of Importance to the Woodsman In Many
Emergencies, Both Bis and little.
A piece of string is often of great
ralue to a hunter or fisherman. Stout
string, such as is used to tie up heavy
bundles, is most valuable. Some sports
men put a piece of string at a higher
value than any other single part of the
camp outfit apart, of course, from the
implements of sport.
If the fishing rod breaks, the string
mends it again. If the suspenders break,
tho string tics the ends together. Should
the gunstock break, the string is inval
uable. If a pack basket strap fails, a
string takes its place. A tear in a tent
is sewed up with string. Game is hung
up out of reach of animals with string.
A lost man makes snares out of string
and catches birds and rabbits enough to
keep him from going hungry. Likewise
a stout string will serve as a fishlino in
the absence of regular tackle. If the
chain is lost, the dog may bo led with a
string. A boat can be anchored with a
rock and cord.
In the absence of a string a substitute
is made by cutting a strip as long as
needed from a deer hide off which the
hair has been taken. The woodsmen pre
fer a rawhide string to all others, be
cause it is much stronger, if properly
cut, and the woodsman is very expert in
cutting the string of even strength.
Where the hide is thin he cuts a broad
strip ; where it is thick he cuts a narrow
one. He prefers horsehide to buckskin,
and a buck's skin is better than a doe's.
A raft is easily made with a string
and three or six logs, according to the
size, and many a skin boat is sewed with
rawhide strings. With a piece of string
in his pocket no man need starve or lack
for sport, though lost and 40 miles
from anybody. He can break off a hem
lock branch, make a bow, use a slendei
sapling for an arrow, and shoot his
game as the Indians did. If he has a
jackknife, so much the better, but tho
string alone will do. Fire may bo start
ed in an unraveled string by striking
sparks into it from two hard rocks. A
very important use of a string is stop
ping the flow of blood from a wound.
A 6trip of bark, with a round stone to
press into the artery, and a string to tie
tight over the bark, has saved many
lives and will save more. The strip of
bark prevents the string from cutting
the flesh. In case of a broken leg a bark
sheaf and a string keep the bones in
place. New York Sun.
Tea and Coffee.
British trade statistics show that . tea
is driving coffee out of the market in
the United Kingdom. England has al
ways been a great country for tea drink
ing, and now the British taste for that
beverage is apparently stronger and
more nearly universal than ever. In the
United States, although a very great
portion of the population is .of -almost
unmixed. British origin, coffee complete
ly overshadows tea in common nsa
There is no reason to believe that the
latter will ever become popular here in
the same sense that coffee is already,
and the coffee trade increases constantly.
Nations differ in such matters to a
very remarkable degree. Germany, like
the United States, is a coffee drinking
country, and so is France to a less ex
tent. Russia, on the other hand, is more
devoted to tea than England, and China
and Japan care as little for coffee as the
Turks do for the tea which the yellow
races of eastern Asia consume in enor
mous quantities. In some cases the cli
mate seems to be a determining influ
ence, the lower the temperature the
greater being the consumption of tea
and the smaller the coffee trade. There
are notable exceptions, however, for
Germany, where coffee leads by long
odds, is a land of colder weather in
winter than the British isles experi
enca Japan where tea is universally
used, is warmer than Asia Minor, where
the Turks drink coffee very freely.
However, as a rulo, the colder coun
tries prefer tea to coffee, and in the
warmer climates coffee is easily first in
popularity. Cleveland Leader.
Honesty Best, After All.
Two hungry workmen on the tramp
lately came to a village where lived a
Catholic priest who was known to keep
a good table.
"Mate," said one of them, "we shall
get nothing there if he finds out that
we are Protestants. I shall tell him I'm
a Catholic."
"Do as you please," replied tho oth
er. "I shall tell the truth."
They knocked at the clergyman's door
and asked for relief.
His reverence asked them among oth
er things what confession they belonged
to, and they replied as previously agreed.
Then he bade them wait and went back
into tho house, returning soon after
ward with a couple of plates, on one of
which was roast duck and on the other
a little boiled rice.
"Friend," he said, addressing the.soi
disant Catholic, "as it is fast day, I
have nothing better to give you ; but as
for you, " he said, turning to the other,
"being a heretic, you care nothing for
fast days, and may therefore eat meat."

Now that tho candidates are all

with the most dangerous theory ever
promulgated by any party since

whether he wants silver monometalism
