Why They Should Not Wear
flights"

These garments, it seems, are Of
very fine and thin silk, and in the
case of women they are drawn on so
closely to the bare legs that they af-
ford no protection against the cruelty
of stage draughts. They are also held
in place by a strap or some other con-
trivance which squeezes in the waist
to such degree that the circulation
in the legs is almost stopped. A nov
ice in the wearing of tights, she says,
suffers what amounts to positive tor
ture; and even the old hands only but
them on as concession to public
taste and demand. They would much
prefer to appear in long gowns like
the rest of their sisters if the require
ments OF their part and their desire to
please the spectators were not more
powerful with them than the desire to
be comfortable themselves. They put
their health in peril in order that they
may the bettergratity their audiences.
On mere sanitary and altruistic
grounds, therefore, the wearing of
tights by women of the stage might be
discouraged with some show of reason.
II physicians agreed that such an ex-
posure of their legs involved danger
to the health of the wearers of tights,
y might be profitable to consider
whether they should be allowed to
make the sacrifice for the public pleas
ure and for the qualifications of their
own craving for admiration.-New
York Sun.

Wanted to Get Ont.

lie was an express messenger on the
SANTA fe few days ago. It was a night
ran, and there were two messengers in
the car. Just as it began to grow dusk
the train stopped at small station and a
dead body was taken aboard, Nothing In
particular was thought Of this, however,
ana as there was nothing to do, and the
train would not stop again for long dis
lance, both messengers prepared to 20 to
sleep. One of them decided that the box
containing the body would be a good
place to rest on, and so he arranged him
self comfortably there and went to
sleep
How icng he slept he has no idea, but
suddenly, as If in a dream, he heard a
voice say:
''I.et me out"
The messenger startled, lay half-awake
Tor moment, when in no uncertain tones
cane the words, apparently from within
the head of the box on viii, h he slept:
- you; let me out.
1t is quite a distance from where the
box lay to the other end of the car, but
the messenger Is positive he cleared IL IN
two jumps. Trembling with fear, he
shouted to his companions, but before he
had chance to tell his story that self
same voice exclaimed
81 want to get out of here"
Neither Of the men spoke moment.
and then the one who had first heard the
voice said:
Jim, that corpse wants to get out"
Jim thought for moment, and then
said:
well, | reckon it wouldn be right TO
keep him in there il he wants to get out. -
SO the two cautiously made their way
to the head of the box and debated wha.
to do, when the same muffled voice was
heard to re mark
Polly wants crackerr'
Then the mystery was explained Some
one at Denver had expressed parrot to a
friend at Kansas City. Its cage had been
set away and forgotten, and the bird had
naturally become hungry and thirsty. So
it waited as long as it could, and then

MANS FIRST DWELLING,
A Remarkable Habitatlon Found In
the Low Countries of South
America.

America.
Long, long ago. some men travelling
in the low countries of South America
came upon remarkable dwelling.
Only little one-story habitation,
7x9 feet, left by it's owners sweet and
clean. A cot of one room, just large
enough to hold II whole family of little
ones, provided they did not need too
much room for running and jumping
Such a beautifully decorated little
dwelling None but master in the art
could have fashioned the delicately
ornamented roof reaching high above
the vines clinging about it, and root
warranted not to leak during the
heaviest rain, and sure to last for ages
and ages. There were two entrances
TO this primitive mansion, one at the
'front.' and one at the rear, not very
large, to be sure, but large enough for
one to crawl through comfortably,
and these entrances, scalloped and
cut with a perfection not to be ex-
celled, were always open, too, as if
waiting for an occupant. And all to
be had rent free. Now, was not this
remarkable structure for our travel
ers to find in the wilderness?
There were unmistakable proofs,
too, of its having been inhabited, and
by savages, undoubtly of a very an
cient day. On examining the dwell
ing and remnants of others flor the
discoveries found only one perfect
one the wise men decided it must
have been at one time the bony cover
lngs of some animal of the armadilo
family.
Further research and study con-
WINGED them they had found not only
a perfect armor of the Glyptodon, the
gigantic armadillo prehisto times,
but what was still more wonderful,
that this armor, abandoned by it's
original wearer, had become, proba-
bly, the very first habitation OF man.
The only perfect one of these dwell
ings now known to be in existence is
in the possession of the French gov
eminent, and is kept in the Jardin des
Plantes, in Paris.

lncreas Q of Whites in Virginia.

A Richmond (Va.) dispatch says:
An analysis of the growth of the
population in Virginia, as shown by
the recent census, exhibits an immense
increase OF whites over colored voters
in that State since 1880. A State
officer who has watched the returns
carefully has figured up the result III
fifty-eight white counties in the State.
He says inthose the whites have gain
ed 81 ,22O and lost l POS, a net gain
OF SO, OH. The negroes increased in
these tifty-eight counties 1920 and
lost z 1855, net gain of only 235.
In the counties having colored ma
loritles in 1880 the whites increased
36,I In twelve of the counties
having colored ma jorities in that year
the whites decreased 3,137, making in
the forty-two counties having colored
maJorities a net gain of $500.
Albemarle, Campbell, Elizabeth City,
Hanover, King George, Orange and
Pittsylvania, which had colored ma
lorltles in 1880; now have white ma
lorlties. "A seventeen counties of the
black belt the negroes increased &c.

the same section they decreased 90

an increase of only 6,615.

The Old Mans Way,

A familiar figure on upper Broad.
way is that of a man of at least 60
years of age, whose face is as plump
and rosy and as absolutely devoid of
crows feet and care lines as the Wis
age OF Cupid himself. When the fact
was referred to in his presence the
other day, he said that he had made
his face work of art rather than nat
ure, as it was originally. He said that
every night and morning he pinched
and kneaded it and rubbed it with
coarse towels so that its muscles got
all the exercise they need to keep them
taut and perfect. "Tdoit because Eve
too little to do" said he, but when
see how hideous the failure to do yhis
causes some women to become. il
seems to me n crime that any lady
should fail to do it. 1t matters little
about the men, because they are not
expected to be good looking, and they
can mask their faces with whiskers II

VIII the African Elephant
Work?

In modern times, we have only to
look to India to be convinced of the
great usefulness of the elephant. To
the agriculturist, who uses him before
his wagon or his pillow, he is indispens.
able, and for the transportation Of
heavy articles, he has no rival We
see him carrying immense tree-trunks
out of the Indian forest, and by his
indefatigable industry, in picking up
and carrying off large stones, aiding
the construction of roads and rail
ways. For labor OF this kind cooe
receives from four to eight annas,
while five and six rupees are paid for
the daily work of an elephant. From
this fact, we conclude that one ele-
plant performs the work OF from
twelve to twenty-five coolies.
From the record of the British ex-
petition against King Theodore of
Abyssina in 1868, we learn that "A
elephants were shipped from Bombay
for use in the campaign. Each ami
NAL was in charge of two men. OF
this number five succumbed during the
campaign. The remaining 80 rendered
valuable services, being entrusted
with the transportation, through
mountainous country, of cannon, am
munition and supplies. 1t was fire.
quently very difficult to procure food
for them, and as it was often neces-
sary to traverse great distances to
reach the watering places, the death
of the five animals is ascribed to these
hardships. Although elephants move
slowly through a mountainous coun-
try and soon become foot-sore, they
perform their task with admirable
faithfulness. Without them it would
have been necessary to await the
building of wagon roads.-Goldth-
waite's Geographical Magazine.

A River that Flows InIana

There is an interesting instance :,
water flowing inland from the sea u
is found on the island of Cephalo,;a
in the Ionian sea, west ofGreeeo. ~
phenomenon occurs on the southwest
side of the island near the small ton
and port of Argostoli. Two strean,r
flow at a short distance from ona
another, straight from the sea, for
few yards, and then follow differe,.
courses. One turns at right angles
and runs for some ways parallel With
the shore and close to it. Then !.
turns again toward the sea, and rim.
ming, of course deeper and deenar
doubles completely under itself. Tins
forming loop, and finally passes ont
of sight deep down in a landwardi
direction. In its course it turns five
flour mills, which will give an idea ~
the strength of the current. There il
no tide in the sea here, and the flow 81
the salt water brook perfectly steasir
and continuous. The other stream
disappears in the ground in a similar
way This curious phenomenon has
not attracted much attention becauss
Argostoli is not on one of the regular
tourist routes. No one knows what
