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. Mass—It is rare Indeed that
arms of real merit are converted from
percussion to flintlocks; while every- 1
one has seen scores of fine old flint
lock weapons shorn of their beauty—
and qf their value—as antiques by
conversion to the percussion sys
tem
Here is a Springfield rifled musket,
made in 1SC3—percussion lock, of
course—which was used during the
Civil war. 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

sparks fly; and It Is said. also, they
like heavy charges and like to feel

charged. as they consider that an in

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.

“I have used my machine for clean
ing the clock, the piano and the door
mat, and yesterday I used it for clean
ing the fleas from my dog. My hus
band ran the end of the tube over
and through the deg's hair close to the
skin. When the nozzle touched a flea
it was drawn in. When I got through
with the dog, there was not a flea on
him. I then took the cleaner outdoors
and dumped the dust bag into a tub of
water and drowned all the insects.”

BACKACHE!
Suffered Over Nine Months, Nothing
Relieved Me Until I Took PE-RU-NA.

Mrs. Joseph Lacelle, 124 Glenora Ave.,
Ottawa, East, Ontario, Canada, writes:
-I suffered with backache and head
ache for over nine months and nothing
relieved me until I took Peruna. This

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. The other night I was standing
inside the railroad station when an
Irish cab driver came up to me and
asked me how soon the next train
came in. I told him and he said tharnc
you and went away. 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.
