NEW ENGLAND’S FISHWOMAN Another Occupation le Found to Have Been Invaded by the Gentler Sex. Boston. Mass.—A Massachusetts fisherwoman who really fishes, who affects the salt water not for the pur pose of wearing a natty blue sailor costume but to earn her daily bread with an oyster rake and a scollop dredge, is the feminine anomaly boasted by the city of New Bedford tn the person of Miss Lizzie M. Almy, a resident of the Fairhaven section of the old whaling town. To be the most picturesque figure In a town as picturesque as is New Miss Lizzie M. Almy. Bedford is no small distinction. Nev ertheless. backing her against all the women doctors, women lawyers, business women of every kind, and even the occasional fair blacksmiths and farmers that crop up. New Bed ford stands by its woman fisherman. Like most persons, however, who suddenly take up a new occupation. Miss Almy's choice of the trade of I flsherwoman was the result of ne i cessity. Threw year? sgo she found herself without means of support and with an aged mother on her hands. With only her own strength and grit to back her struggle for a living, she began to cast about for some means of getting a livelihood. And with char acteristic determination she made up her mind to venture into a field hith erto monopolized by men. To this end she took what little money she had, fitted up a cottage on the shores of Pope's beach and bought a dory. Then she began to fish for oysters and scollops. With all her strength of mind and body, however, she is not a suffra gist and is not in sympathy with wom en who are. OLD MUSKET IS HUMILIATED Springfield Percussion Lock Rifles Con verted Into Flintlocks by Specula tors for African Trade. Boston.

After that honorable serv ice it was stored for years and about 1875 it was bought by speculators, who took it. with thousands of Its fellows—our government could not store them longer; and the fashions In firearms were changing rapidly— to Liege. Belgium, where the owners converted the whole consignment to flintlocks This was done for the Af rican trade: for. as is known to many, the tribesmen prefer the ancient flint A Converted Musket. and steel system—they like to see the sparks fly; and It Is said. also, they like heavy charges and like to feel Yhe “kick” when the piece is dis charged. as they consider that an in dication that their game will be killed. Among the countless thousands of “pot-metal" guns, so-called that have been thrust into the Africans' hands by foreign greed, it is safe to say that no arm that ever "kicked" their savage shoulders was equal in good ness to our splendid “Springfieids.” This specimen was imported from Liege several years ago. Use for Vacuum Cleaner. Kansas City, Mo.—A Kansas woman has discovered what dealers say is the most remarkable use to which a vacuum cleaner has ever been put. She uses it to take the fleas off her dog.

He—fane is so artificial. She—Yes, artificiality seems natural to her. Daniel Fahrenheit. In view’ cf the abnormal weather which we have bad this summer w’e think a tribute of respect should be paid to the memory of Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem ber 16, either in 1736 or 1740. it is hard to say which. Before his day sev eral attempts had been made to meas ure the heat level, not the heat, by tubes containing oil of spirits of wine, but it lay with a bankrupt merchant of Dantzig to show how the feat could be successfully accomplished. The first thermometers were made with spirits of wine; but the ingeni ous Gabriel soon adopted mercury as his medium, and so it has remained to this day. His instruments speedily ^became known throughout the world, and though a more rational method of graduation has since been adopted. tb» popular mind still clings to the Fah renheit scale. Our own Royal society thought highly of this humble inven tor and acknowledged his genius by making him one of its fellows. To the “Transactions” of the society he con tributed several papers.—Pall Mall Gazette. Thia Time for a Friend. “ Tis a wise man,” said Robert Ede son. "who knows when to ask ques tions.

In about five minutes he came back with the same question. ‘I told you not more than five minutes ago,’ I said. ‘I know It. he answered cheerfully, 'but it’s not me th't wants to know this time, it’s a friend of mine outside th’t has to watch his horses and can’t come In an’ ask yez himself!”'—Young’s Maga zine.
