Patti and Lucca, and all the great
singers and actresses and famous beau
ties who, like Nine. Recamier, were
wondrously beautiful at an age when
ordinary women retire from the festive
scenes Of the beau monde, understood
the value of this great restorer, and
owed their wcll-preserved beauty to
sleep. An unusually handsome st.
Louis woman, who has at the age of al
most fifty years the fine, wel-rounded
figure and elastic step and carriage OF a
girl, the delicate, rose-hued skin and
the brilliancy Of youth in her eyes, says
that she has made it rule to retire at
nine o'clock, except on very rare occa-
sions, and then she takes nap in the
afternoon to prevent the i'll effects of
the late hours which are to follow. Our
American women of all classes need
more than any other people in the
world the rest and refreshment which
only sleep can give to overweight
nerves and overworked systems, for no.
where else do the women live under SO
much physical and mental strain.

ut is the same way with all the other
departments. The War, State and Navy
together use about as much as is con-
sumed in the Treasury building. BUTT
is the Department of the Interior that is
the great devourer of ice. In the PEN
sion Office and the main building of the
department together from five to six
tons are used every twenty-four hours.
The post-oilice gobbles up twelve hun
dred pounds day. However, you must
/ remember that these quantities are al
ways variable. In summer much more
COOS than in winter and, if the hot
season is unusually long or intense, we
people who take the contracts are apt
to find them far from profitable.
Each department makes its own con-
tract for ice. Bids are advertised for
annually and the dealer who offers a
supply for the following year at the
lowest rate gets the job. 1t is, to GER
tain extent, a gamble, inasmuch as no
definite amount of ice is agreed upon.
Tho contractor receives so much money
for providing a department with all the
frozen water that it requires, whatever
this quantity may be. Taking all the
departments together, with their
branches, it is probable that they con
sumo about twenty-four thousand
pounds of ice daily, averaging the year

sumption of good deal over four thou

AN INDIAN COWBOY.
He Could Not Get Used to the Ways OF
Civilization.


Civilization.
The Indian vaqueros, who lived much
of the time on the more distant cat
tie ranges, were wild set of men.
L remember one of them, named Martin,
says writer in Century, who was sta
TONED in Amador valley and became
leader of the hill vaqueros, who were
very different from the vaqueros of the
large valley near the Missions. He and
his friends killed and ate three or four
hundred young heifers belonging to the
Mission, but when Easter approached
he felt that he must confess his sins, so
he went to Father Narciso and told all
about it. The father forgave him, but
ordered him to come in from the hills to
the Mission and attend school until he
could read. The rules were very street.
whoever failed twice in a lesson was al
ways whipped. Martin was utterly I'M
able to learn his letters, and he was
whipped every day for month; but he
never complained. He was then dis
missed, and went back to the hills.
used to question Martin about the affair,
and he would tell me with perfect CRAWL
ty of manner, which was very delight
full, how many calves he had consumed
and how wisely the good father had
punished him. He knew now, he used
to say, how very hard it was to live in
the town, and he would never steal
again lest he might have to go to school
until he had learned his letters.

denly at II 80 o'clock, P. NJ, in the Executive
Mansion, Raleigh, n. c. He was at the
Executive Office that day, and went to the
Mansion early complaining of acute indiges-
ton. He was much better at night and
heard the lessons of his two children and
solved problem in arithmetic for his
daughter, remarking, when he had finished,
that it was difficult, and her teacher
would have found 1T so herself. He ther

to his room, and he told her that he felt
badly and he expected that she would have

TERRIFIC STORM IN TEXAS.
HaiIstones Big as Eggs, and Two
People Blown From a Buggy.

People Blown From a Buggy.
The heaviest hail and wind storm that ever
visited that section occurred at Gainesville
Texas, on a recent night. Hailstones fell as
large as hens eggs and to the depth of several
inches, drifting in many places foot deep.
Trees were stripped of their foliage, and the
young fruit was swept fl ON the limbs. Car
den and field vegetation is badly damaged.
Scarcely house i'll the city escaped with
whole window glass.
In the adjacent country the wind was
destructive as the hail Large numbers of
dwellings were blown down, barns were
wrecked and orchards and forests were laid
waste Fowls were killed in great numbers
by the hailstones, and wild birds the
prairies were slaughtered by the hundreds.
Cattle and horses were blown into wire
fences, and many of them were killed out
right.
Hal Finnie and young lady while driving
in buggy to church near Era, Texas, were
picked up by the whirlwind and carried sew
eral yards, the young lady falling in wheat
field and Mr.. Finnie lodging berbed
wire fence. He sustained serious in Jury, but
the young lady was only slightly hurt.
A large Baptist church blown down
in Era, and many other buildings suffered
similarly Many persons were seriously
hurt by the blowing down of the houses in
which they were at the time of the storm,
but so far nobody has been reported as
killed. The stretch of country covered by
the storm is twenty miles long and about the
