A 300-Pound Sunfish.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Fishermen In the employ of the Western
Fish company made a remarkable catch
15 miles outside the Heads yesterday.
While fishing from the Farragut they felt
a hard tug on one of the lines and a few
minutes later hauled on deck a giant sun
fish.
The fish weighed 300 pounds and meas
ured five feet In length. As might be ex
pected, he put up a hard fight. Sunfish
are rarely captured off this coast, as they
are natives of Japan. The big fish at-;
traded a world of attention along the
waterfront when placed on exhibition. .

Impatience Rebuked.
From the Argonaut.
The minister of a certain parish In
Scotland was walking one misty night
through a street of the village when he
fell into a deep hole. There was no
ladder by which he could make his
escape, and he began to shout for help.
A laborer passing, heard his cries, and,
looking down, asked who he was. The
minister told him, whereupon the
laborer remarked: "Weel, weel, ye
needna kick up slch a noise. You’ll
no’ be needed afore Sawbath, an’ this
is only Wednesday nlcht.”

Start the New Year Right!
, TART the new year with a clean
mind and a clean body 1
Most people are very neat
and clean in their outward
•ppearanoe, but how about the inside?
Are you clean Inside?
And if not, how can you face the New
Year with clean thoughts, clear intelli
gence, a fair, Just, and bright mind, and
your full shar%.of capacity for work and
•njoyment.
• • •
The holidays are over and everybody's
had a good time—perhaps a little too much
of a good time. Over-eating and over
drlnklng have been the rule ever since
Thanksgiving Day.
Many people get little exercise in winter
And breathe much stuffy, over-heated in
side air.
At the same time they eat too much rich
and Indigestible food, while fresh fruit and
fresh vegetables are scarce in the market.
So stomach and bowels are liable to bo
over-taxed.
* » *
Clog up, stretch and paralyze the large
Intestine by over-stuffing it with undi
gested food, so it can not carry off the
useless refuse, and it “backs up” the
tewage, and compels the small intestine
to absorb the poison of decaying matter,
Instead of wholesome nourishment.
That’s what must happen. Isn’t It plain
•s day?
What's the result?
Nearly everybody “gains ip flesh" in
the winter time, but it’s pussy fat — not
healthy flesh and muscle. The liver gets
Inactive; the bile doesn't “work off";
the eyes get yellow; the skin gets dead
Uke putty and pale like dough, with boils,
pimples, blackhead^, liver-spots to break
the monotony.
Dizziness, headaches, blurred vision,
foul breath, sleeplessness and a temper
ftka g wild cat make such persons very
pleasant company to themselves and
others.
• * •
But, you say—"I’ll take a course of
Spring medicine to clean me out next
April.”
Not considering your duty to yourself
and family, Isn't it certain that to leavs
the body full of poison all winter, and
then suddenly attempt to force out all
Impurities by one violent attack is danger
ous, absurd and unreasonable?
* * *
Keep clean inside all the time. That’s
the simple solution.
If you can not diet, or keep your mech
anism going by proper exercise, the self
evident alternative is to take Cascarets,
the sweet, fragrant, harmless little vege
table tablets, that "act like exercise" on
your bowels, and gently but powerfully
clean out and disinfect the whole diges
tive canal.
A Cascaret every night before going to
bed will "work while you sleep ” and
make you " feel fine in the morning."
If you have been neglecting yourself
for some time, take a Cascaret night and
morning and break up the "constipated
habit ” without acquiring a ” cathartlo
habit.”
• e •
Cascarets are sold by all druggists. 10c,
25o and 50c. The 10c size trial box Is a
neat fit for the vest pocket or lady’s purse.
Be sure to get the genuine, with the
" long-tailed C ” on the box and the letter*
“CCC” on each tablet. They are never
sold In bulk.

In^ for feminine eyes
This blouse was made ot liberty satin. It has gatherings on the shoulders,
and the front is cut V-shape; trimmed with small revers ending in a small tie.
The sleeves are plain, and pointed over the hand and finished with buttons.
The vest and collar are made of allover lace. The waist Is made over a fitted
. lining.
Small Talk of
Fads and Fashions
The lapel Is seen on everything.
Flannel waists are to be much worn.
Ottoman silk is a favorite in millin
ery.
Skirts are narrow and trains posi
tively skimpy.
There will be an unusual demand for
satin this year.
The rage for things oriental is quite
as virulent as ever.
The modern muff consists of staring
eyes and wagging tails.
Schoolgirls wear immense flat hats
of plush or beaver.
Paris will make use of skunk as a
trimming and in small furs.
• Plum and prune color Is a favorite
I In elaborate street suits.
The one eyelet pump will be worn In
[ the house all this winter.
Peacock tints, beautifully blended,
are the success of the hour.
Most buttons now have a protecting
ring of metal, bone or'horn.
Buttons of all sizes are more em
ployed than for years and years.
Large headed hair pins and barrettes
will almost cover the head.
The two toned striped stockings are
the most fashionable hosiery.
French lingerie, brought over for
brides, shows much less elaboration.
Laces showing an intermingling of
metal thread are fashionable.
Furs to the flimsiest chiffons are be
dizened more or less with braid.
The Jabot of white net is still stylish
with dressy tailor-mades.
Brown is smart, but only in the
lighter and more unusual shades.
Though several sorts of overskirts
figure, skirts proper are untrlmmed.
Coat revers are long, often extending
down almost to the waistline.
The American Beauty waistcoat adds
a smart touch to a black coat suit.
One fad is the employment of black
chllfon with colored cloth and silk
gowns.
Dog collars come In links of solid Jet
or In links studded with cut Jet beads.
It Is a noticeable feature of the gir
dles that they all fasten at the side.
It Is a fancy Just now to line fur
coats with brocade in the shade of the
skin.
Single buttons at prices current in
Jewelry departments are not at all un
usual.
Little neck pieces, composed of fur
bands and ruffles, are the thing Just
now.
The walking suit that typifies the
directolre adaptations has a coat which
escapes the skirt hem by an inch.
For tailor-mades ruching of linen,
plaited tiny and extremely narrow—in
fact, Just a line—is fashionable.
In fur neck pieces the flat stole is
accorded a second place by the newer
shawl shaped capes that end at the
waistline.
A new chain girdle in various color
combinations such as white and gold,
blue and gold, taupe and gold, is very
pretty.
A smart coat is fastened across the
waistcoat with frogs of green corded
silk, slung from the buttons on the
mitered cloth.
Muffs are square, of bad form, and
much larger than those of last year,
when there was a return of favor to
the smaller types. They are adorned
with heads and tails, frequently in
groups of three.
WORLD'S HIGHEST
CAFE IN SWITZ
What la probably the highest restau
rant In the world has been opened at
the Elsmeer station of the Jungfrau
railway in Switzerland. It Is 10,000 feet
above sea level, close to the summit of
the mountain. The food Is not cooked
by means of ordinary fuel, but by elec
tricity generated by the Lutschine wa
terfall, deep down In the valley below.
With an expenditure of 30 kilowatts of
electrical energy It Is possible to pre
pare a five course dinner for a party
of 100 persons In a short time. The
guests are accommodated In a large
hall hewn out of the solid rock and
heated by electricity. The view from
the huge windows comprises mountain
scenery, which for grandeur perhaps
has no equal In the world.
AUTUMN NOVELTIES.
From Harper's Bazar.
What are ‘'engagements?" They are
the mitten sleeves of gauze, net, or
lace which mould the forearm, eking
out the three-quarter or half-length
fabric sleeve, and half covering the
hand.
And the moyeneux? It Is that mid
dle piece of waist trimming which In
tervenes between the material of the
dress Itself and the uppermost bit of
lace that forms the collar, chemisette
or tucker. Often the moyeneux Is of
lace or filet, dyed to match the dress.
It Is made over self-colored or light
toned silk, such as cream, gray or flesh
color.

Economy of Costly Foods.
From American Medicine.
The economy of expensive foods Is ex
plained by the fact that digestion, at least
Sn man, is dependent upon flavors, without
[which it la so defective that we do not ob
tain the good of the food we swallow. As
far aa experiments go, they substantiate
These insertions, for the sight and smell of
pleasing food starts the flow of digestive
fluids, while disagreeable odors and sights
|stop It. Delicatessen, then, would seem
to bo staples, for they are necessary. The
(talk of being ablo to subsist on a few
cents a day Is simply nonsense and leads
ko deterioration of health. What seems
to bo extravagant In food purchases may
be wholesome Instinct. The high cost of
living Is partly due to the cost of the flav
ors wo need. We recommend those Ideas
lo our worthy dietetic Economists. Lay
pien may not be so foolish as the physiolo
gists themselves.
“Who are them- people livin'
door?" asked Mrs. Gadsby’s Uncle) ,

"X don't know,” she replied.
"I s'pose they've Just moved In?”
“No; I think they have lived there
for a good many years."
"Ain’t they decent?"
“I really don't know. I have never
heard anything about them."
“Hm! Gos’i! You people must be
mighty well ofT.”
"What has our financial condition to
do with the people who live next
;door?”
“Why, you don’t seem to ever have
to borrow anything."

Rowing and Ro'ing.
A man hired a southern negro to go
out with him to (ish. The man was
doing all the rowing, and, linally turn
ing to his helper, asked him If he
couldn't row. “No, boss.” was the re
ply. So the man did all the rowing,
and when he had caught all the fish he
iWanted, rowed to the shore and
climbed the bank with the fish. Turn
ing around, he saw the negro rowing
the boat away with vigorous strokes,
and, calling to him, said: "I thought
you told me you couldn’t row?” "Oh,
did you mean pull de boat, boss? I
thought you meant could I ro’—like a
lion.”
Omitted.
The two old neighbors had met on

"Mornln’ Sam,” said the first. "I hear

"Yep,” said the other.
“Learn anything?"

“What's he got out of it chiefly?”
"He kin speak seven languages."
“Fine!”
“Oh, I dunno. Trouble is they forget
to teach him any idees to express with
