OTTER- HUNTING IN CALEFORNIA.
The Danger and Difficulty of This Sport
hIakes It Almost Impossible.
The otter is becoming very rare in
southern California. Forty or 50 years
ago it was taken in goodly numbers,
but new it is confined to the outer isl-'
ands of this region, where high
winds prevail and the water is too
rough for any one but the most intrep-
id hunters. On the windward side of
Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San 'Nicolas
and San Clemente islands, the valuable
little animal 'is yet to be found. The
otter hunters generally cruise about in
a small schooner which lies off shore
while they go inshore in a double end-
ed small boat, constructed with a view
to riding heavy seas. This craft is
rowed along outside of the help,
the man in the bow, with
rifle in hand, watching the kelp
bed carefully for the round, eat-
like head of the otter that is liable-
to appear at any moment. The little
animal is very shy and is away at the
slightest alarm. They lie in the kelp
and play with their young, tessing
them in the air or riding with them on
the swells. .
The danger and difficulty ii otter
hunting can hardly be” appreciated. The
boat is never still, rising and falling
upon high seas, and the hunter must
watchhis opportunity to shoot the lit-
tle animal before it. can escape, and
then catch it before it sinks. Numbers
of otters are still caught, but the. dan-
ger and hardships entailed render it an'
unprofitable business. In Northern
California. the otter hunters have sin-
gular observation poles at various
points, where men are raised high
above the water, who signal to the
canoe when an otter appears, or, if it
is within reach, shoot at it.——Cor. New
York Times. '
'lhe Alaskan Squaw.
Alaskan squaws are not sensitive on
the subject of their age; on the con-
trary, they take some trouble to make
it known to the world. They wear a
piece of wood or bone in the lower lip,
the size of the ornament indicating the
age of the owner. When a girl marries
her lower lip is pierced, and a peg or
weed or a piece of bone the size of a
pea inserted. As she grows older this
is increased in size until it is almost as
wide as her chin, and one-fourth of an
inch high. The result is naturally
most unsightly—Philadelphia Ledger.

The Duchess of Ao-sta: who is closely
related to the King of Italy, is a wo-
man with a distinct mind of her own.
When she first began to cycle the King
gave orders that sh'e should not be sa-
luted by a sentry as she rode by on her
wheel. Ohedient to the royal command
the first sentry she passed ignored her
presence, whereupon the Duchess qui-
etly dimounied and boxed the ma’n’s
cycle rules the court of Italy, just as it
cars. Now however, the omnipoten"
does all the other courts in the world-
and the senLry salutes the royal famil;

HOW CONSUEL-Q .SPENDS HER. DAYS
IN HER ENGLISH-HOME.
Few‘of Ont-.American Glrls \Vork .qu'de!
Tvllan'slle, in Order to Fill the Position
_ Which Her Marriage Created, but She
Is Equal to the Duties. ,
Fancya Duchess living in a palace
which has not the conveniences of a
fifteen dollar per month flat in New
York. And a cold—water flat at that!
Of course it must have seemed funny .
at first not to have bath rooms, gas or
electric light, or steam heat, or regis-
ters; but the Duchess has completely
dropped into theEnglish mode of do-
ing and thinking. But no wonder, for,
from the Duke's point of view, he has
but two great objectsin life to achieve.
The first is to make the Duchess for-
get as soon as possible that she was
born in America, and the second to be
Prime Minister of England. And as to
the latter su-bjeCt his greatest, card is
our Duchess Consuelo’s money and fine
social tact,‘for, despite her youth, 'she
is one of the cleverest women I ever
met, combining her mother's wonder-
ful executive ability and social gifts,
with her father’s stability of charac-
ter.
Few American girls work as hard for
existence as the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough works to fill her position and so-
cial duties, for she feels that she has
the calcium light eyes of two great
critical monotors on her actions con-
stantly—her husband and English so-
ciety.
Her day begins about 8 in the morn-
. ing, when she awakens in an old-fash-
ioned canOpied bed whose tapestried‘
hangings were new in the days of good
Queen Anne. Within easy reach hangs
a bell cord by which she summons her
own maid. Instantly there is brought
into the adjoining dressing room by
two strong—armed English dressing
maids a bath tub, and such a bath tub!
Can you imagine a circular sheet of
hammered or repousse silver, five feet
in circumference, the design an ara-
‘besque of mermaids. Cupids and sea-
weed all linked together in a. frolic-
some scroll?
The cold water bath all in ten min-
utes', glowing like Arounce, the Duch-
ess slips on a pink wool robe, while her _
second maid attends ' to manicuring,
and so dainty is Consuelo the ten
pearly toe nails, as well as fingers,
come in for their share of the manicur—
ist’s attention.
Maid No. 1, who is the most awe-
inspiring personage mall the Duke’s
household, nor; appears again on the
scene to dress in simple fashion the
Duchess‘s beautiful dark hair, and
while this is going on the Rahji, as
the Duchess’s East Indian personal at
tendant is nicknamed, sachems at the
door, bringing on a curious Oriental
tray the morning mail“
Usually the" Duke and Duchess
breakfast tete—a-tete in the mornng
room upstairs, which connects the
Duke’s with the Duchess’s suite of
apartments on the second floor, over-
looking Green Park. In .the- old days
this was evidently a. Corridor where
sturdy retainers were wont to lounge
in waiting. This room is now the most
attraCtive in the palace, and here, it
may be said, is the only home life—'—as '
it—these two
Americans understand
busy young people know in London. ~
At 10 a. m. the saddle horses are
brought into the courtyard, and the
Duchess, accompanied by a. guest and
groom, or perhaps the Duke, go for

is never omitted, and 'the return is
made at 11 o’clock, when she dresses in
a smart morning gown for shopping
and the thousand and one little affairs , _
connected with the management of the ' '
household, which she talks over with
the steward each day at high noon.

WHAT 'rolno.
There is comfort. in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer‘s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
‘ fulfills everywish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, .liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability. to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer. and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realich.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases. If
you need a medicine you should have
