Rhinocsros Shooting.

A hunter in Africa tells how he
shot his first rhinos near Kilima-
Marc. He crawled along the grass
till within fifty yards of the big beast.
Then" he says, / raised my
head, saw that some twenty yards
further On there was tuft OF slight
ly longer grass, and determined to
get up to this before firing However,
Just before we reached it some half
dozen birds came from the direction
OF the other two rhinoceros and set
tied on our cows back, but we event.
ually succeeded in reaching the tuft.
The difficulty now was to get into a
sitting position and ready to shoot
without being seen by the birds. To
do this | worked my legs towards the
rhino as | lay on my side, and grad
ually raised myself into sitting po-
sition; but at that instant the birds
saw me, and few up with their usual
cry Of alarm. At the same moment
the rhino raised herself on her fore
legs like n huge pig and | then real
lied that | was nearer than | intend
ed TO get, only about twenty yards
separating us, but she did not APP
pear 60 see ne. AS she remained sit
ting in this position, without
moving my body, which | know
might attract attention, | stretched
out my arm behind me for the ADORE,
but did not feel 1t ut first, and
thought that for once my faithful
Ramazan had received rather shock
to his nerves on finding himself at
such close quarters. However, he
pus it into my hand at last, after a
delay Of perhaps two seconds, which
appeared to me much longer, and l
quickly planted bullet on the point
OF her left shoulder, which knocked
hero Reloading before l moved,
saw she was still down, but making
desperate efforts to get up; but, as
she was lying on her left side, with
her broken shoulder under her, she
was unable to do SO, and | ran up
and despatched her with shot in
the neck. - New York Sun.

FLOWER GHOSTS.

Any child who wishes TO see the
ghost Of flower has only TO make a
very simple experiment.
Let him go up to cluster Of
blossoms and look very intently for
several minutes at one side OF il.
Then very suddenly he must turn
his gaze upon the other side of the
same cluster.
He will at once distinctly see a
faint and delicate circle OF colored
light around this second half Of the
cluster. The light is always in the
hue which is Complementary" to
that Of the flower.
The specter of the scarlet poppy
is Of greenish white.
The ghost Of the primrose is purple.
The ghost Of the blue fringed gen.
tian is Of pale gold tint.
In these circles OF color the shapes
OF the flowers petals are always
family but clearly seen.- New York
Recorder.

DRY HAIR MADE GLOSSY.

The use Of oils on the hair has gone
out Of fashion, but there are many
persons to whom something Of the
sort is almost necessity. The hair
becomes SO dry that its beauty is
gone, and in addition il is 80 badly
nourished that it loses its strength
and luster.
In such cases u little fine oil is the
proper remedy. Those who have very
dry and rough hair, especially if sub
ject to pain and feverishness in the
head, will do well to try some soften
ing application, at least as an expert
mept.
One ounce Of glycerine to n pint of
rose water, with two or three grains
of quinine, thoroughly shaken to-
gether, makes an excellent hair tonic.
The trifle of glycerine gives it soft
ness and moisture and "A very pretty
gloss.
Care must be taken, however, TO
keep the head away from dust as
much as possible, for the glyccrine
will hold 1t and soon make the most
beautiful braid dull and grimy look
ing.

ELEcTRIcAL HAIR BLEACHING.

Noting the novel uses to which
electricity has been recently applied,
the Electrical Review says: Another
enterprising individual, this time a
dyer Of human hair, has projected
the following method adtices, how
ever, do not state that he has been
entirely successful. The process 10
Ingenious, and for this reason alone
it is worthy Of mention. The sub
ject, who is generally Of the weaker,
and shall we add vainer, sex, seats
herself in the operating chair, which
is somewhat similar to a dentists
chair, and rests the back Of her neck
on metal plate, which Is the mega
tive terminal Of rather strong bat
terry, the current from which is sufii-
cient to exert a moderate decompos-
ing action on solutions Of salt con-
tanning a bleaching agent such as
chlorine. The waving tresses are
allowed to fall back Of the chair, and
are dampened with a solution Of
what the inventor terms his secret.
A brush composed Of metallic bristles,
which have been gilded or platinized,
and which are electrically connected
to the source Of current, thus form
ing the positive pole Of the battery,
is slowly and steadily drawn through
the air. A slight decomposition Of
the salt held in solution takes place,
the bleaching agent is liberated and
the coloring matter in the hair is
lightened. The discoverer declares
that the color given to the darkest
hair may be varied at pleasure, and
may also be carefully regulated;
furthermore, he states that the color
does not resemble that Of ordinary
"bleached' hair, but is more natural
and in every way able to deceive the
most expert in such matters. While
the idea is one which is attractive
from an experimental standpoint, the
object attained if his statements are
true, is one which should be pushed
into obscurity by a minimum amount
Of praise.

An investigation Of ten of the best
paying trades in which women are
engaged in nine principal cities Of
the United States shows that the cost
OF living for working women in their
own families is nine per cent higher
in New York than in any other city
save Brooklyn. The cost Of board
for working women in New York
ranges from S3 per month TO ~ per
week in private boarding houses
Few, however, seek the latter. The
majority live in furnished rooms,
cooking their food over gas and OIL
and getting their meals haphazard,
as time and money permit. Some
live in so-called homes, where board
is furnished from 1925 to So per
week, occupying rooms with four and
six others. Many women who live in
furnished rooms do not see meat
more than once week this is par
ticularly true Of those past middle
life. Case after case is known OF
women who, aside from rent, subsist
upon 81 per week.-lNew York Jour

For summer wear nothing looks

For summer wear nothing looks
prettier than q neat dimity dress.
These dimities come this season
mostly in tinted grounds, although
white grounds will be extensively
worn. Satin baby ribbon. narrow
velvet ribbon and ruffies of fine tinted
inen,lawn. edged with narrow Valen-
ciennes lace. are some OF the mate
rials employed as trimmings.
A new brocade has q beautiful de-
sign OF brilliant butterflies flying in
all directions. Heliotrope and petu-
MIA shades are already giving way to
blues of every hue, to delicate green's,
and dainty pinky fawns. Blues
merging into green, and green into
blue, those doubtful shades which
puzzle the uninitiated, will certainly
be worn for the summer.
The latest whim is TO wear a black
moire ribbon about an inch wide
round the neck, about yard and a
quarter long, to which n watch or
jewel is suspended. 1t is fastened
round the throat with little gold or
jeweled slide. 1t will be much worn
with light colored dresses; the
jewelers. are busy inventing some
trinkets to wear in this way in which
the fayorite perfume can be placed.

The Cobra's Poison.

Dried and pulverized cobra poison
is almost rs deadly as when injected
by the live cobra, says writer in
Mcclure Magazine. Native doctors
use it incidentally in microscopic
doses, and have barbarous method
of extracting it. They put a cobra
into an earthen pot and drop BAN
ana in after it, They then tie down
the lid and heat the pot over the fire.
The wretched snake is soon tortured
into a rage in it's baking prison and
bites the banana in its paroxysms.
The fruit is afterwards carefully
dried, and is then ready for use. 1t
is pronounced under some circum-
stances to be a wonderfully powerful
stimulant, but il is only used in ex-
treme cases, and even then probably
does infinitely more harm than good.
The same preparation is also said to
be employed by leather workers for
poisoning other peoples cattle, with
II view to afterwards buying up the
hides cheap. This is form Of crime
very prevalent in India, and one that
the authorities find most difficult to
check. For how is the ignorant ma
tive cultivator to prove that his
plough bullocks have not died of cat
tie disease? He may complain to
the nearest magistrate, and the magis-
trate may order the beasts to be ex-
amined. but the snake poison leaves
no external marks, and is almost inn
possible to detect chemically. 1t is
not surprising, under these circum-
stances, that he often decides to ac-
cept the loss and not incur the en-
nifty of the cattle poisoners by seek
ing redress.

Fros Eating ~ New York.

"Frog-eater" is supposed to be
synonym for "Frenceman," but now
il is said that more frogs legs are
eaten in New York City than in all
France. His Southern frogship's

York in early spring. and rs the sea-
son advances his Northern cousins,

those who are good judges to be of

Canadian breed is most in favor
among connoisseurs, and so frog 5

OF New York. whether born and
brought up in Florida, Maryland or
anywhere else. are known as choice

In l723 was born the great English
painter, Sir Joshua Reynolds. His
father was n minister and he was so
poor and had such big family that
he was obliged to teach school also,
In order TO support his eleven chill
dren. Joshua was the seventh child.
He was not like other boys, fond of
playing and fun, but was very quiet
and thought more about drawing pic
lures than anything else. His sisters
were also fond of drawing, but they
were so poor they couldn't afford to
buy pencils and paper, so they used
TO draw pictures on the whitewashed
walls Of the long hall with burnt
sticks. Joshua's pictures were the
worst of all, and the girls would make
fun Of him and call him the clown.
One day Joshua drew the picture OF
a wall with window in it, on the
back Of his Latin exercise. His
father was SO provoked at him for
wasting his time, as he called it,
that he wrote underneath it: This
is drawn by Joshua in school out Of
pure idleness.' But the old gentle
man soon changed his mind, when he
saw the drawings Joshua could make
when he was few years older, and
so he allowed him TO study painting
instead Of becoming doctor, as he
first intended him to be.
Joshua painted his first oil paint
irg when he was only twelve years
OLD, and this is how he did il: While
he was in church one Sunday he
made n sketch OF the minister on his
thumb nail, and he enlarged this
sketch in boathouse, using piece
OF old sail for his canvas. Is ii any
wonder he succeeded as an artist
when he had SO much perseverance
and patience? Joshua studied under
portrait painter in London for n
couple OF years. and then returned to
his home i'm Devonshire, where he
soon painted thirty portraits OF
people in the neighborhood, who paid
him Sl5 piece for them.
Joshua was crazy TO go TO Rome,

COMPLIMENTS FOR INTELLECTUAL
WON ZEN.

The intellectual woman Of society
il better dressed, because more
quietly and less extrayagantly, than
the non-intellcctual woman. She
appears to more advantage in the
drawing room and on the promenade; /;
she is soundor, fuller, more methodi-
cal and exact. Her evolution Is
loftier and more complete. When
she is rather plain than pretty, she
is often thought very pretty, because
her manners are 80 fine and her un-
derstanding is so clear that she neg
lects no one. and is considerate to
all. She is almost always elegant in
appearance and bearing for her mind
animntes her whole body and en-
braces the smallest details. She has
the latter half OF the nineteenth cen
tury spirit, which is too broad and
sympathetic to permit her to reserve
her faculties for her own benefit

FASHION NOTES.

Wells are remarkably becoming this
season.
With many black parasols the lin
ing is in bright color.
Wells are made for the most part
shaped so that they set well over the
small hat.
Dutch bonnets are to be worn all
the season. Most Of them are small
and close.
The latest thing in gloves are those
that are embroidered with garlands
Of flowers in their natural colors.
The new fchus, bows and neckties
are exceedingly pretty, and guam
titles Of ribbon are used, also tiny
flowers.
The silver buckles with ribbons for
collar bands are furnished even to
the hooks and eyes for fastening in
the back.
The use Of dental floss has brought
out many pretty designs. The same
holders may be used for embroider-
ing silks.
1t is principally black gloves,
which were for u long time cast aside
for white ones, and which are now
coming into favor again, that are or
namented.
Lace lappets form some of the
prettiest bows for evening wear, and
tiny ones in cream lace start from
small colorcd rosettes, set u few
inches apart on velvet bandeau.
Toques are greater favorites with
the Parlsiennes than ever but they
also are larger and sit down more
closely on the head. The prettiest
are entirely covered with flowers.
Fancy pencils for the watch chain
seem from their frequency TO be much
sought after. Some OF them are very
ingenious, the pencil running through
pigs, dogs, monkeys and other ami
mails.
Jewellers Of romantic fancy pro-
vide deep petaled flowers which en-
close little white ring boxes for the
presentation Of jewels. These floral
emblems are chiefly used over the
footlights.
Something new is the plain black
Hindoo cloth, which takes the place
OF plain black lawn. Hindoo cloth
much resembles black lawn, is OF
perfectly fast coibr and has very
soft finish.

Girls Who hypnotixe.

Two pretty girls sat opposite me at
luncheon the other day, two healthy,
hearty, rosy, daintily dressed crea-
lures, who are very pretty disciples
OF Mesmer and understand the force
OF hypnotic suggestion. When the
meal was over and We slipped our cof-
fee iN the drawing room, these sisters
gave an exhibition of their powers
quite terrible TO see, since some Of
their manifestations were really in
eYplicable. They found and replaced
in a selected spot in my head hair
pin / had secreted between the
leaves of u book, and they came and
went from wide eyed dreaming to
active intelligence as easily "a | pass
in and out door. They are two
young English girls who have made
of mind reading and mesmerism a
study and n livelihood. They are the
daughters Of n clergyman, well bred
and refined, and receive SO much to
come TO luncheon and exhibit their
powers after. For compensation
they will put one into gentle mes
mermic trance that one may expert
ence the strange sensation, or they
will use hypnotic influence on each
other, and the one under the spell
will do all sorts OF interesting things

Farming by Electricity.

There would seem hardly limit
to the possibilities Of electricity in
the near future. 1t has been already
applied in directions undreamed Of
fifty years ago, and il would seem
that the next fifty years will witness
complete revolution in the modes
and ways Of living, due primarily to
it's application in ordinary, everyday
affairs.
Electricity has already largely dis
placed horses and steam in the city,
and an experiment Of it's application
to farm work was recently made in
Scotland. OF course, this use of
electricity is still experimental, as
the questions of cost and convent
ence must first be settled before it
can come into general use for agri-
cultural purposes.
On this Scotch farm the electricity
is generated by n turbine wheel in a
neighboring watercourse, and there
is no doubt that it will soon be possi-
BILE to generate electricity thus at
great reduction from it's present cost.
From the point Of generation the
electricity is conveyed by wires IN
the usual way to the house and other
parts of the farm where it is to be
used.
The house is lighted by electricity,
and electricity drives all stationary
farm machinery. Thrashers, hay
balers and everything of that kind
to the farm grindstone and churn, can
be operated easily by electric power,
and an electric pump is kept in con-
stant operation. The motor used is
sixteen-horse power, which is ample
for running the entire farm. With
such motor in full working order,
all that would be necessary in order
to start everything on the farm, from
the churn to the thresher, would be
to press "a button. Such a release
from drudgery would go further than
anything else to solve the problem
whether life is worth living. We
fear, however, that some people are
born so lazy that the mere effort OF
pressing the button would be too
much for them.

LONG WATCH CHAINS.

The fancy OF wearing jewelry is
growing apace, and long watch chains
are becoming popular again. IL the
lovely ieweled ones are beyond the
limit of price, then the old-fashioncd
gold ones which have been in oblivion
for years may be brought out for duty.
1t is not at all necessary that there
should be watch at the end Of the
chain, for the utility element Is u
minor consideration. A brooch fast
ems it ut the neck, and it may be
festooned lower down and lose itself
in the trimming Of the dress, sug-
gesting q dainty little watch tucked
away in the folds. Il Detroit Free
