The river interests are in n most sat-
satisfactory condition at present. There
is a good boating stage of water with
n prospect for more, the ice has entirely
disappeared, the boats are all running
and ireights are coming in and going
out in unusual quantities; with all
these favorable conditions coming to.
gethcr, you would hardly recognize the
river man Of to-day, when compared to
the detected individual OF ten days ago,
who didn't know but that the next
hour would wipe out all his earthly be.

From the above 1t will be seen that
rain was falling at every reported
hoadwater point, sustaining the pre-
diction that the present rain around
here is general in its character. The
river at this point was slowly falling all
day yesterday, the lowest stage being
sixteen ieet, eight inches, but late last
night the water from above had its
effect, and the water became first sta
tionary and then began to rise slowly.
1t is probable that there will be a
heavier rise in the Ohio this time than
tho two late ones, though nothing dis.
astrous is expected. Captain Crockard
is Of the opinion that the coming rise
will eclipse the other two, but he sees
nothing in the indications for alarm at
all. 'HNs't ~ y

The tramp" remarked the old POI
liceman yesterday, lis gradually diving
out. Beasts and buns are thick
enough, but professional tramps are
becoming scarce. The professional
tramp first came into notice in 1878.
The panic at that time led to period
of distress that the country had never
before witnessed, The Migrants were
then known universally as tramps, and
they were the most cheerful unfortu-
mates that the hard times produced.
They continued to grow in numbers
for several years, and after 1880 that
fraction of the population was large
enough to gain recognition in books of
statistics. During winter months the
warehouses of the cities were crowded
with them, and in the summer they
roamed from coast to coast. OF course.
there is always big local supply of
tramps, but the men who sleep out
doors when nights are cold and who
are just as happy whether starving or
eating, are becoming fewer and fewer. i"

A Word About Bath sponces.

A bath sponge is a satisfactory toilet
artic' only when it is well cared for.
II it ia put away half cleaned and
dripping wet, it will soon become of.
fensive, and then it's restoration tc
cleanliness is very difficult. Every
time bath sponge is used it should be
washed with soap and warm water,
rinsed in cold water, and then squeezed,
not wrung, vigorously. In the sum-
mer it should be hung in the open air,
and when possible in the sunshine. In
winter it should be dried by artificial
heat. A sponge should never be shut
in a box, and the best place to keep it
is ON hanging earthen tray or in an
open basket of wire. A good bath
ing sponge has rather coarse pores
but is strong and soft in texture. The
most expensive sponges, however, are
tiny ones, which have the very finest
holes and silken texture. They are
used for bathing little children and by
surgeons.

The Perfect Female Form.

Nothing is more truly artistic than
the simply outlined oval of the perfect
female form. 1t is but slightly de-
pressed at the waist, the hips are as
wide as the shoulders, there is not an
angle from top to toe. 1t is as different
from the outline of the fashionable,
'well-set-up" woman, with her squared
shoulders and angular hips, as horse
is from camel. We call the high
belted Empire dresses artistic be-
cause they preserve this oval bet
ter than the longer-waisted shapes.
The nude figure has no belt
line. When the weight rests equally
upon the feet, and the body is held up
right, the smallest measurement of the
waist is about where the modern belt
is placed. But let the body bend to one
side, and the point of intersection of
the hip and side muscles will be over
an inch above the former belt line.
This is why field la borers, even to the
slenderest young girl, are short
wasted" For by gienic reasons the
belt should never be placed below this
point, and by thus shortening the
straight under-arm seam by an inch
the beauty of the uncorseted waist is
materially aided, Ladies' Home Jour-

A POPULAR trimming for dress skirt
for afternoon wear is ribbon three
inches wide, gathered twice through
the center to form little puff. Three
rows of this trimming are set on about
three-eighths of yard apart.
AMONG the very stylish outing
dresses arc those of colored linen with
glossy surface in the natural ecru
shades, in fax gray and in navy blue.
oddly enough, these costumes are
trimmed with revers, collar, belt and
cuffs of black satin, repped silk or

A PRESENT fancy in London is for
fine tailor gowns of covert coating.
They are made with fitted jacket
waists, like those now used for riding
habits, of even length all around aud
falling just below the hips. The fronts
turn in neat narrow revers from o
linen chemisette with small rolling
collar that is worn with little black
cravat.
STYLISH imported flannel dresses
have French blouse waist, with full.
ness at neck and belt arranged in small
box plaits The neck of this waist
opens low on a chemisette of lawn or
of linen and is finished with large re-
verse collar of cloth, either like the
dress or, if the flannel is figured, of
plain material the color of the figure.
The sleeves are full bishop sleeves and
the gored skirt is plain.
THE summer hat for wearing with
all sorts of outing dresses is the Eng
lish or French sailor. The former is Of
white straw with rather wide brim
and is trimmed with a simple white
ribbon and fiat bow. The French are
of white or black glazed leather and
have very narrow brims. Those in
white are trimmed with white and
gold galoon and the black ones with
u bunch of violets.
THE newest travelling wrap comes
from London in the form of deep
cape, which was first designed to be
used in playing the game of golf This
cape, which reaches nearly to the
knees, is of two very full pieces, each
nearly three-quarters of circle, Joined
by sloping seam down the back. 1t
is finished in the back with hood
lined with changeable silk and has q
collar that buttons up under the chin.

Keeping the House Cool.

Much of the comfort of the household
depends upon keeping the house cool,
writes Mario Parloa. In the morning
every window and blind should be
opened, giving the sunlight and air ac-
cess. After the house has been thor
oughiy aired and put iu order the blinds
should be closed and the shades par
tally drawn. If the windows are
closed in the hottest part of the day the
house will be cooler. AS soon as the
sun begins to go down reopen the
blinds and windows.
On an intensely hot day the room of
a sick person can be made more endur-
able by having sheets of cheese-cloth
wrung out of cold water and hung
across the open windows-St, Louis

The use of kerosene is considered q
valuable aid in houSe-cleaning by
those who have tried it. For cleaning
woodwork, dissolve a little soap in a
quart of hot water and add a few
spoonfuls of kerosene to the mixture
which is boiling. As soon as cool
enough wash all the woodwork or
psinted articles and it will be found to
easily remove dirt and grease and it
makes paint look fresh and new We
never could see that it injured or de-
stroyed the paint as some methods Of
cleaning do. 1t is also nice for clean
ing window-glass and many other
things. We always find it best to boil
it up with the soap and hot water. un-

WHO WILL GovERNYxr,,
One of the Natural Limits of the white
Mans Power.

Europeans and North Americans al
most universally believe that the white
man is destined to subjugate, and
therefore govern. and therefore ex-
plot the world; that his force, what
ever its origin, will always be the SUI
perior one; and that he will, by de-
grees, direct all Indians, Chinese, Afri-
cans and natives of Spanish America;
and, in directing, use them, If for their
advantage, still also for his own. That
is, we take it, the root-belief of all
white politicians and traders, the
principle upon which they struggle so
tiercely for prestige in Asia. and the
idea upon which they justify their
treaties, arrangements and expendi-
ture of energy to secure the partition
of Africa
Mr.. Pearson, though not the least in
the world of negrophile, a man doubt
full, indeed, whether the inferiority of
the colored races may not prove to be
one of the permanent laws of nature,
disbelieves this theory entirely. He
points out with crushing cogency that
the white man never has quilted, and
probably never can quit, compare
lively small temperate zone, compris-
ing Europe, part of North America, a
bit of South America, Australia, and a
small section of Africa, and has not
therefore, limitless room in which to
expand.
His territory is comparatively small
and infertile, and he cannot, therefore,
multiply, except in ratio which is
slowly diminishing as population grows
too thick for comfort; and, we may add,
as the soil he occupies begins from
generalization to show signs of that
steady decrease in fertility, which is,
we take it, one grand danger of Europe
especially in Germany and Russia, and
of all the older settlements in North
America. There is, therefore, no chance
of his settling any large fresh area or
clearing any new land of its people, as
the Spaniards cleared the West Indies
of Caribs, and the English are clearing
Australasia of its aborigines.-S

ALARM BELLS IN ocrosER.



Zuyder Zee.
One night in October we werestartIcd
by the ringing of the alarm bells. We
expected to find fire, but the peas-
ants, as they tumbled out of their
doors, shouted: THE cows. The cowsIs'
which brings us back to curious Bit
OF local history and custom. As is well
known, the Zuyder Zee is kept back
from these villages by a great dixie
that connects sand dune with sand
dune. During the low water of suxn-
mer the sea retires for long distance,
and the uncovered shore becomes frie
pasturage, giving the farmers a chance
to convert their own meager gra$s
patches into hay for the winter. Tn
fortunately, this provision of nature
cannot be enjoyed by all. 1t Is be-
quest to these villages from countess
who died in the year 1919; to speak ex-
actly, each descendant of resident 81
the villages of Laren, Blaricum and
Huizen, of that date, has inherited the
right to pasture seven cows. This priv
ilege cannot be bought or sold; Il can
be acquired only from an ancestor OF
the village of that date. When the
spring comes, the cattle are driven 10
the pastures, where they remain for Tie
summer. Their owners commonly live
miles away, and 1t necessifates -
daily milking trips, on which&Ehz
jog over in cart with the cans
and pals at midday and midnight.
The pastures are hundreds of acres
in extent, and for a long time
find his cows on a dark night: but we
discovered that they have trained their
animals to come to a certain place at
the same hour each day and night by
always carrying to them some dainty
in the shape of salt and potatoes
During the summer these pastures are
used without danger but in the au-
tumn the succession OF northerly gales,
in conjunction with high tide, will
put the land many feet under water.
Sometimes the inundation is so sudden
that the cattle are caught by the rising
water and drowned. So, at the begin
ming of September, watchmen are al
ways stationed on the dixie to keep a
sharp lookout upon the sea. The
church towers of the villages are all in
sight of one another, and the Huizen
tower is in close communication with
the dixie. With rise of the sea, the
man on the dixie hangs up a lantern; if
the sea rises more he hangs up two,
which is a danger-signal; buff it rises
fast, three, which says, Great danger;
come quickly" Similar lights are
flashed from tower to tower BY watch
ers in the belfries, and at three lights
the alarm bells are rung. This was the
alarm we heard. and in ten minutes
the roads were thronged with people
on foot and on horseback, rushing to
the rescue of the herds. This year
none were drowned; but it was peril
Gus work, and the peasants heaved long
sighs of relief as they told us the de-
tails, and announced that the cows
were safe in the stables for the next
six months.-H. w. Ranger, in Century.
