MEMS FOOLISH CLOTHES.

They Are Much More Poorly Protected In
the Evening Than Women.
1t is all very well for men to de-
nounce women as foolish" for Drawing
the draughts of opera house and ball
rooms with bare breast and shoulders,
but, according to the most eminent
medical authorities in Paris and Lon
don, it is the men who much oftener
catch cold when wearing evening
dress than do women in their decolleto
dresses.
The truth is that extra precautions
are taken by member of the fair sex in
order to avoid cold air in the evening
when leaving the heat of a salon. They
don fur-lincd and wadded opera cloaks,
and wrap themselves up in all kinds OF
soft and clinging lace scarfs, while
men act very differently indeed.
The weak point of mems dress is
that the lungs are expose at the back
almost more than in front. The dress
suit is thin, and as the majority of
men leave the coat unbuttoned, the
back is exposed to more or less draft
with every movement.
During the day the man goes about
with thick wooden clothes, thick socks,
thick boots or shoes with spats.
At night he puts on the thinnest OF
clothes, a waistcoat which is no pro-
lection whatever, thin shoes, silk
socks, and sallies forth to dine, after
which, perhaps, he attends dance or
| a theater. where, when he arrives, he
begins by congratulating himself that
he is not clad as those poor, silly
women" who go about with the upper
part of their chests bare; and he is
positively amazed when pneumonia,
bronchitis or influenza overtakes him,
instead of prostrating all the airily
clothed women of his acquaintance

BOONE AND THE INDIANS.

The Old Kentucky Hunter Was Prisoner
In Their Hands for Months
Boone frequently took to the field on
set expeditions against the savages.
Once when he and a party of other men
were making salt at a lick, they were
surprised and carried off by the In
dams. The old hunter was prisoner
with them for some months, but finally
made his escape and came home
through the trackless woods as
straight as the wild pigeon flies. He
was ever on the watch to ward off tho
Indian inroads, and to follow the war
parties and try to rescue the prisoners.
Once his own daughter and two other
girls who were with her were carried
off by band of Indians. Boone col
lected some friends and followed them
steadily for two days and night; then
they came to where the Indians had
killed buffalo calf and were camped.
Firing from little distance, they shot
two Indians, and, rushing in, rescued
the girls.
On another occasion, when Boone
had gone taAvisit a salt-lick with his
brother, the Indians am5ushed them
and shot the latter. Boone himself
escaped, but the Indians followed him
for three miles by the aid of tracking
dog. until Boone turned, shot the dog,
and then eluded his pursuers. In COM
pany with Simon Kenton and many OF
the noted hunters and wilderness war
riors. he once and again took part in
perilous expeditions into the Indian
| country. Twice bands of Indians, ac-
companied by French, Tory and Brit.
| ish' partisans from Detroit, bearing
the flag of Great Britain, attacked
Boonesborough. In each case Boone
and his fellow-settlers beat them Of
with loss.
At the fatal battle of the Blue Licks,
in which two hundred of the best rife
men of Kentucky were beaten with
terrible slaughter by a great force Of
Indians from the lakes, Bocue com
'mandeded the left wing. Leading his
men, rifle in hand, he pulled back and
overthrow the force against him; bu,
meanwhile the Indians destroyed the
| right wing and center, and got in the
| rear, SO that there was nothing fol
| Boone's men except to fee with al
| speed. Theodore Roosevelt, in st

imposition by the insurance offices OF

goods, solely on account OF the heavy

Palatinate, and the spinners of Ba-
varia, have held meetings and are
unanimously of the opinion that Amer
lean cotton growers should be asked
to pack as they were wont when jute
was dear. I have on my desk prac-
tically all the important correspond
cnce that passed between the unions
on the subject. It was hoped that
planters might be induced to press more
closely; but when it was urged that
the cotton-planting industry is spread
over eight or ten states, that the ma
chinery now used would have to be re-
placed by better presses, etc. it was
concluded to ask only that the cotton
be better packed. 1t was proposed to
order only from producers willing to
use this packing. To begin slowly
and ultimately urge all planters t.
adopt 1t, is thepolicy that found favor. +"
Liverpool is one of the greatest
markets for American cotton. Consul
Neal reports that most American cot
ton bales are landed in q very ragged
condition, with the cotton much ex-
posed, and either because of the
poor material of the iron bands, and
especially the ties, or because of the
extremely rough treatment on the
railways or steamships, great numbers
of bales are landed with several bands
missing. In consequence of the pres
sure of the bands being removed. the
bales have expanded and burst the
covering, the cotton in the loose part
of the bale merely holding together by
its own tenacity. Sometimes bales are
completely broker up and are landed
in bulk.
"AmerhcAn cofron, owing to the
serious defects in packing mentioned,
suffers seriously as compared with cot
ton from other countries, because OF
