Unframed.

She was dressed so showily that
everybody's attention was arrested by
her the moment she entered the car.
She was very thin, very pale, and
her voice was weak and high-pitched.
She sank into a seat with a sigh and
murInur of discomfort, and at once
took from her sachel a lemon and
began eating it. BY this time it was
discovered that she was a young girl.
She ate the lemon, and announced to
her companion that it was the third
she had eaten that day. Her COM
pleXion suggested paste, she was so
nervous as to arouse sympathy, SO
irritable as to produce feeling of
pity for anyone who had to live with
her. A few years will find her a
physical wreck She quoted from
"mamma" so loudly as to make one
familiar with that unwise PERSONS
views on every subject, and at the
end Of two hours one knew the con-
dition Of her wardrobe. The journey
began early in the morning, and for
the lover Of lemons ended about four
in the afternoon, and she never
stopped talking for longer than five
minutes, and she ate lemons in that
interval. Temper, voice, manners,
appetite, all were left unframed by
unwisely indulgent parents One
shuddered when one thought of the
kind Of woman that must result
from such a method, or lack of
method, of rearing. Shame on the
mothers who allow their children to
develop so unnaturally. The end of
each child's training should not only
be the developing Of that child, but
should look forward to the educating
of the fathers and mothers of the
next generation. The benefit con-
ferred on posterity is not confined to
tree-planting.

Have the police Of Chicago fallen so

From Kansas City, Ks: At the pres
ent time there are twenty men and for
ty-six women employed in the Armour
Dold microscopical department. Should
Secretary Morton's order apply to in
spection OF hogs before being slaugh.
tered for the interstate trade, but one
or two additional inspectors would be
needed. But should the microscopical
inspection Of the meat Of all hogs slain
for the interstate trade be required the
force OF the department would have to
be doubled. At the present time only
about one-half Of the carcasses of the
hogs killed by the Armour and bold
Packing companies are inspected by the
microscopists. The United States gov
eminent only requires the inspection of
such pork as Is intended for export to

Simply to stop operations for short

the crops will be exchanged must

KANSAS RAILROADS.

The Santa Fe railroad claims to have
sent 1000 cars Of freight into the
strip and to have heavily laden cars all
along its southern Kansas tracks. The
Rock Island sent ninety cars of lumber
across the line on Sunday alone.
First Vice President D. B. Robinson,
of the Santa Fe, has appointed A. G..
Wells to be his first assistant to succeed
II. @. Ives, who was killed in the Boston
& Albany wreck amonth ago. Mr.. Wells
was formerly general superintendent of
the western division of the "Big Four
railway, He is q brother of Clarence
and Ralph Wells, who were associated in
Topeka with A. A. Robinson when he
was general manager of the Santa Fe.
A company is being organized by local
capitalists Of Doniphan county, assisted
by the merchants of St. Joseph to con-
struct a railroad from Highland to Ryan.
Both towns are situated in Doniphan
county and are anxious to secure the
road, as it will give them a connection
with the Burlington & Missouri River
system. 1t will be necessary to build
only fifteen miles of road, and it is
thought there will be no difficulty in
securing sufficient funds from the sources

Belleville Democrat: 1t is reported
that the Rock Island will build road
from Belleville to Salina. 1t is said that
they will start here and run in a direct
line southwest to Salina and that the
company will enlarge their round house
at this place to double its present ca
pacity. II this report proves correct,
and it comes from a Rock Island man, it
will make this city one Of the most i'm
portant places on the Rock Island sys-
tenn. They will run trains from here

THE Louisiana Experiment Station
has been devoting itself to a careful
trial and analysis of peas. 1t has
long been known that peas were
valuable as reviviflers Of the soil and
would do excellent work where clover
was, for some reason, impracticable.
The result arrived at, however, is
likely to cause peas to be raised more
generally than ever before, 1t would
be good plan for each farmer to try
q small patch and satisfy himself
that peas are suitable for his partic-
ular soil.

Renaid with Interest.

Dignity is associated with honest
poverty as often, beyond a doubt, as
it is with wealth; and it is not al
ways safe or wise for those who are
better-tO-do to affront the self-respect
Of the poor. A story is told of the
youth of woman who died in old
age in Paris lately which illustrates
this fact. When she was a poor girl,
working for her living, she took her
dinner each day in a restaurant kept
by woman named Clemence-a we'll
known place in Paris, where people
Of limited incomes were in the habit
of eating.
The young woman, whose name
was Theresa, received her salary
monthly, and it was so small that it
was often spent day or two before
payday came around again. On such
occasions Madame Clemence gener-
ally gave Theresa credit until pay
day, although she regarded her with
suspicion. Theresa always paid her
debt whom she received her salary
But one day toward the end of the
month, when Theresa had been par
ticularly unfortunate in her affairs,
she presumed too far on Madame
Clemence's generosity, The custoR-
airy patrons of the restaurant had
gathered preparatory to the meal
Theresa, who had eaten but scrap
Of bread that day, was among them,
and very hungry Madame Clemence
came up to her and said, roughly;
"What do you want here?"
"My dinner" Theresa answered
meekly.
well, you can't have it here" the

Hairy Men of Japan.

LONDON Gt0Os.
At meeting Of the Anthropological
Institute Miss Isabella Bird (Mrs.
Bishop, the well-known traveller, read
an interesting paper on the Amos OF
japan, that singular race OF hairy
men" who are chiefly found In the
Island Of Yesso. Miss Bird spent some
time in a village Of Amos near Volcano
bay studying their manners and GUS
toms, and she illustrated her lectures
with specimens of dresses, untensils and
weapons, as we'll as with lantern Illus
trations, some drawn by herself and
others taken from Japanese artists,
who, however, have caricatured the
types OF the people to u certain extent.
Miss Bird cannot decide whether or
not the Amos were the original inhaoi-
tants Of Japan. They themselves say
chat they conquered and exterminated
an earlier race of cave dwelers. There
is no doubt howev,-, that they were con-
ouored by the japanese. The men
range from feet four inches TO feet
G inches in height, and strongly built
and muscular, and In some instances,
especially among the mountain Amos,
are thickly covered all over, except
their feet and hands and one or two
other parts of the body, with short
black hair.
Even children show a thick brown
fell. The women are not hairy like the
men and nave soft, brown skins, where
It is not 'scaled by dirt" for, according
10 Miss Bird, these people never wash,
except for feasts or festivals, and then
only the hands or feet. The men have
fine, high fereheads, but Miss Bird
wonders what they contain, for she has
never met stupider people. The aver
age weight Of their brains is about
forty-f7e ounces.
They are hunters OF the bear and 9th
er wild animals and are rude gardeners.
They live on almost everything that IA
not poisonous, vegetable or animal,
from slugs to beef, and the favorite
dish is broth of abominable things q

forced 90 eat it from courtesy. The list
OF ingredients reminded her auditors OF

Of the same construction and sleep on

will effect a modification of contour,
that is why all these little twirls must
be studied. Hairdressers of old used to
say that there is just one way the most
becoming to each woman, and that each
woman should find out and stick to that
one way; but modern beauty is so much
a fleeting matter Of expression and
piuuancy that the modern girl may
make herself lovely ia any OF a dozen
ways. Everyone, however, must have
the hair in perfect condition. 1t must
be clean as silk TO b ssoft, and its clean
illness must not be all due to soap and

to the constant and patient use OF the
brush. Granted this, and you may
