twq South American ostriches, which
hunters hail killed and left outside
camp, disappeared during? the
night. Their torn .and half devoured
bodies' were fownd next day in a slial

tracks of an animal that from all ap
pearances wore those of a mighty
beast of prey. The .Cordilleran puma

of Cape Nome, and, moie recently, of

miners from Dawson-and other Yu¬

These stories arc founded upoif reports
of prospectors, and lack any sufficient
basis for leaving paying diggings. Pro¬

A Word About Complexions
The conflicting advice of reputed au¬
thorities long ago led to the despairing'
exclamation: “Who shall decide when
doctors disagree?” The woman in
search of beauty or anxious to learn
the best way to retain it turds a bewil¬
dering variety of advice. Many spe
. cialists in treatment of the complexion
advocate faee stoanllng . others con
demn it with unllesitating geverity.
That the latter are probably correct is
t be inferre(1 from the experience of a
Sew York woman who went to cou

you'know?” The answer was: “Be
cause-the skin is dry. withered wfien and
flabby. I can see at a glance a
woman uses hot water or steaming.”
“Hot water should be used once a
day, merely for clea'uliness. • Sponge
the faee softly with a pure soap arid
hot water, either at night-or iii the
morning.-1.0* remove dust and open the
pores. Then bathe thoroughly with,
clear, cold water until-the skin is in a
glow', and finish by applying, a good
cold cream of glycerine, rose water,-.ami
benzoin lotion.”

The Vogue of Plaits.
Three-fourths of the new costumes
show plaits in one form or another.
Plaits and tucks are not at all suita¬
ble for heavyweight cloths, but there
are this season cloths in so' many dif¬
ferent weights that it is not difficult
to choose one that is suitable. The
fashion, however, is seen at its host in
the thinner and more flexible materi¬
als and' in silks, and a model gown
that will be seen a great deal is of taf¬
feta made without any trimming what
pVTi'; but tucked sleeves, skirt and
waist. In a dark color this makes an
exceedingly smart gown and is delight

or depends plain, with a jeweled buckle. Much
on how the belt and collar are
treated., .
But even when lightweight fabrics
are employed it-is rather difficult for
the dressmakers to follow out satis¬
factorily the new fashions of the
ed skirts and at the same time the
close-fitting ones. To do away with
the elumSy appearance that plaited
skirts are apt to have requires no end
of trouble and a thorough knowledge
of skiptmaking as well. The best skirts
are those iliai: have ‘the plaits caught

Vivid Phrasing.
Elizabeth HarTison, in her “Study of
Child Nature,” says that children be¬
gin to learn the intellectual value of
words as soon as they are familiar
with them in their material relations.
“Sweet,” “sour,” “rough.” “crooked,”
as applied to character, mean some¬
thing to them when they ..have investi¬
gated them first through Ehe senses.
Occasionally they translate the new
meaning rashly, anil make laughable
mistakes. One morning we had hya¬
cinth bulbs; we examined them, and
then compared them with the blossom¬
ing hyacinths on the window-sill.
A day or two after, an onion was
brought in to us by a child, as another
fat, round flower-baby for us to plant.
I- had...some difficulty in making the
children see the difference, but finally
cutting the onion open I blinded their
eyes, and let them smell first the flow¬
er bulb and then the onion bull*. An
.horn 1 or two later one of the little girls
spoke . in an irritated, petfilant voice
toller neighbor, who had accidentally
knocked -over her blocks.
“Look out!” said the little one on the
other side of her. “or you'll have an
onion voice soon!”
Black Coats.
An English clergyman, rather pom¬
pous of manner, according to Spare
Moments, was fond of chatting with a
witty chimney sweep.
Once, when the minister returned
from his summer holidays ne happen¬
ed to meet his youthful acquaintance,
who seemed to have been at work.
“Where have you been?” asked the
clergyman.
“Sweeping the chimneys at the vi¬
carage,” was the boy’s answer.
“How many chimneys are there, and
how much do you get for each?” was
the next question.
The sweep said there were twenty
chimneys, and that he was paid a shil¬
ling apiece.
The clergyman, after thinking a mo¬
ment, looked at the sweep in appara
net astonishment. “You have earned
a great deal of money in a little time,”
he remarked solemnly, wondering
probably, what the sooty fellow would
reply.
“Yes,” said the sweep, throwing his
bag over bis shoulder as he started
away, “we who wear black coats get
our money very easily.”
In Minnesota rhere are 126 co-oper

They carry 8111,000,000 of insurance,

mers of the State saved $352,000 on
their year s insurance. ' There are in
Minnesota about 2,400 townships, of
which 2,091 are organized for town¬

How to Pronounce Kruj-er.
* Considerable difference exists to
as
the correct pronunciation of this cele¬
brated old gentleman’s name, and
there are some who aver that the “a”
in his name has a diaeresis over it,
and should therefore, be modified in
the continental fashion. This is, how¬
ever,’ incorrect, for the President usu
ally places a mark over the letter “if”
in his name, which is the ordfnar/
form of the German* “u,’» 'and has no
influence on the proqnpciatiOn. hard, aiid
' The “g” is, of course, it
is only the low Dutch of his own coun¬
try who mis-pronounce his name in
the form of “Kreeyer.” The actual
pronunciation is purely phonetic, and
as such it is spokeu by all who have
any intimacy with the old gentleman
and his family.—London Mail.
