HOW TO MANICURE.
The First Treatment Is by All Odds tn.
Most Difficult.

The First Treatment Is by All Odds thl
Most Difficult.
Hot water is the first requisite, and a
thorough washing or soaking of the
hands. This is best attained by having
the hot water poured into basin con-
tinually for two or three minutes. The
hands must be allowed to soak for full
ly five minutes, and it is well. instead
of soap, to wash the hands thoroughly
In bran, which makes the skin soft and
white. After the hands have been thor
oughly cleansed the nails should then
be attended to, says Harper's Bazar
With piece of orange-wood stick
sharpened to a point, and a bit of jew
elers' cotton rolled around the point
and wet with the acid that comes for
this purpose, every particle of dirt and
stain should be removed. The hands
must then again be washed, this time
In warm, not hot water. Scissors very
sharp and fine must then be taken, and
all loose flesh at the side of the nails
carefully trimmed. The nails must be
shaped in a pointed oval. All roughness
must be fled away and the flesh at the
base of the nail pushed smoothly and
firmly back so that the half f-moon, sup
posed to be point of beauty, can be
Giscerned.
1t is no longer considered good form
to have so much polish on the nails
that they look as though they had been
buttered, as was the fashion two or
three wears ago But a certain amount
of polish is necessary. Rosaline put on
over the>entire nail and the end of the
finger, then washed off again and the
nails polished brisllly with polisher,
makes the hands look trim and pretty.
The first manicuring is by all odds the
most difficult. After the nails and
hands are once got into good condition,
fifteen minutes each Monday morning
will keep them in proper condition all
the week through if only ordinary care
In washing the hands, with an occasion
al rub from the polisher, is given.

For sweet Angelina, my very best doll,
Has Quarreled with Benjamin Joe.
Poor Margaret Mabel has torn her best dress
And Jane has cracked three OF her toes;
Jemima has hurt her right arm and been
scalped.
And Daisy has broken her nose.
Then Eleanor Rose has got sore mouth
just while she was learning to talk;
Dear Bessie has lost both shoes and her hat
And SO can't take her to walk.
The twins. Jack and Jill. have got such bad
cold,
And Elsie has measles; and
Have sent for the doctor, who hasn't come yet,
And fear they will certainly die
My kitty has scratched: my mammals asleep;
can't find my slate when look;
Ny tea-set Is broken and sister Is cross,
And Johnny has hidden my book.
II papa was here he would sing me sonr,
Or tell me story, know,
And If he would ride me downstairs on his
back
believe all my troubles would go.

Of swamps and stunted pines, into
which no white man has ever pene-
trated far, and where the red man still
reigns supreme. 1t is bounded on the
north by the Lizard and Mackenzie riv-
ers, on the east by the Slave river, on
the south by the Peace river, and on
the west by the Rocky mountains. Mr..
Warburton Pike says it is now the
greatest beaver country In the world,
and that it also contains few bands
Of the so-called wood buffalo. "Some-
times they are heard of at Forts Smith
and Vermillion, sometimes at Fort St.
John, on the Peace river, and occasion
ally at Fort Nelson, on the Lard;
but it Is impossible to say any
thing about their numbers" At all
events, in February, 1900, Mr.. Pike
found eight buffaloes only four days
travel from Fort Resolution, on Great
Slave lake, and succeeded in killing
one. The Canadian authorities estimate
the total number in that region at three
hundred. -. ". T. HorracAy, in St.

HAD A RUBBER BAND IN HIS HAND.

close that the pelican grew quite tame
and few days ago it swan up to take
a piece of bread from the hand of a
small boy on the bank.
The youngster had rubber band in
his hand. This he slipped over the big
birds bill
The pelican at once felt something
decidedly unusual had happened. He
tried to shake the band off.
The band didn't move; then the bird
opened it's bill, but as it gave it's head
an impatient shake the muscles re-
laXed. 'Snap," the rubber band got
in it's work and the mandibles came to-
gether with n noise like the slapping of
Stats.
The big bird looked surprised. Its
round eyes were focused on it's bill,
which it again essayed to open.
But the rubber band, being near the
end, had too great a leverage and the
mandibles could be separated but four
or five inches, only to audibly snap to-
gether.
A most amusing struggle ensued. The
birds bill opened, only to snap shut.
Each time the pelican was more sur
prised than before.
1t tried to rub the band off on its
back. Then it stuck it's bill under
water and in the mud. Still the band
stuck.
Then the unhappy fowl made for the
land.
AS it walked, it lifted its big, broad
feet unnaturally high, and after going
short distance brought its right foot
down on it's left. Then it couldn't pick
the left foot up.
The ungainly bird, with its big bill
stuck heavenward, teetered for awhile
and then lost it's balance and fell over
This released the foot, and the peli
can started for the water, where it con
tinued to struggle with the tenaciou.

fashion through the city summer like
three female musketeers of the brush.
They have taken big, roomy apart
ment with eight large side windows
looking out over vacant lot, which,
with it's abundant grass and nodding
daisies, comes as near being a meadow
as any place could within the city linn
its. So they are assured plenty of light,
air and pleasant outlook during the
warm days and nights.
The furniture of the little double draw
ing-room is all of bamboo aud wicker,
one big divan being piled with cushions
covered entirely in blue and white
slips. There is a piano of white enamel
in one corner, and a low table to match
for the magazines and summer litera-
ture. There are few plants, but very
little bric-a-b -brac, and only as much fur
niture as is needed. The windows are
uncurtained, but shaded with Venetian
blinds, which keep the house cool dur
ing the day. The doors are hung with
bamboo curtains, and the breeze keeps
them tinkling muslcally all the time.
The general effect is that Of GOODNESS,
cleanliness ana space.
The dining-room is fitted like the
parlor, and in this apartment there is
great bay window, which extends
across one entire side of the room.
Here these ingenious girls have sort
of conservatory of vines and plants,
not shutting out light and air, as in too
many cases, but trained close to the
walls and spreading over the ceiling.
Swung across this sylvan nook is tas-
seled hammock of white cord, and upon
It big pillow ia lace-trimmed mus
lin cover rests invitingly. 1t is difficult
to imagine one Of these young women
climbing to this airy retreat, but as it
swings in the air which comes through
the open easement it looks restful and
summery.
One of the attractive objects in this
room is a big glass punch-bowl, resting
on the white embroidered linen DOYLE
on the buffet. Here the mistresses of
the establishment propose to brew
cooling lemonades on hot summer even
ings, with glaciers of ice therein and
berries and fruit floating about upon
the surface. The chance visitor within
this pleasant summer abode will be re-
galed with draughts of this liquid
blessedness. .-.H
The breakfasts, dinners and suppers
upon which these girls will subsist will
be selected for their appropriateness to
the season. Fruit will furnish large
part of every meal, and they are to
+oly in ri oh
week for the maid to follow. And the
best of it all is that the entire summer
plan, including everything, is not go
ing to cost them more than ten dollars
a week each.

THE AMERICAN BISON.
Only Two Hundred Wild Bufraloes Still
Alive in the United States.


In a wild state, the American bison,
or buffalo, is practically, though not
quite wholly, extinct. At the present
moment there are about 200 wild buf-
faloes alive and on foot in the United
States. To obtain these high figures
we include the $50 individuals that the
white head hunters and red meat hunt
ers have thus far left alive in the Yell
lowstone park, where the buffaloes are
fondly supposed to be protected from
slaughter. Besides these, there are
only two other punches; one of about 90
head in Lost park, Col, protected by
state laws, and another, con-
tanning between so and 40 head, in Val
Verde county, Tex, between DEVILS
river and the Rio Grande.
Four years ago there were over 800
head in the Yellowstone park, thriving
and increasing quite satisfactorily.
Through them we fondly hoped the
species would yet be saved from abso-
lutte extinction. But, alas! we were
reckoning without the poachers. Con-
gress provides pay for just one solitary
scout to guard in winter 1915 square
miles Of rugged mountain country
against the horde of lawless white
men and Indians who surround the
park on all sides, eager to kill the last
buffalo! The poachers have been hard
at work, and as result our park herd
has recently decreased more than one
half in number. 1t is a brutal, burn
ing shame that formerly, through lack
of congressional law adequately to pun
ish such poachers as the wretch who
was actually caught red-handed in
January, 1894, while skinning seven
dead buffaloes! and now, through lack
Of paltry $1,000 a year to pay four
more scouts, the park buffaloes are all
doomed to certain and speedy destruc-
ton.
Besides the places mentioned, there
Is only one other spot in all North
America that contains wild buffaloes.

Slave lake there lies vast wilderness

BROWNIES AND DRAGONS.
rhe Queer little Folk Have Appeared
Upon the Stage.

In Philadelphia, not long ago, the
quaint little brownies, that all boys
and girls have delighted in for many
day, made their bow to an audience
in a theater. Palmer Cox, who invent
ed them, has written play to show
them off. 1t is very pretty fairy story,
in which the brownies and fays, who
are the good fairies, have great many
thrilling adventures with the little
dragons, who are the bad fairies. All
our favorite brownies--the dude, the
Chinaman, the Dutchman, the police
man and all the rcst-are in the play,
and, as usual, the dear little brown peO-
pie, after some severe trials indeed,
come out winners In the good scheme
in which they are engaged. Mr.. Cox,
the father of these queer little elfs, got
his ideas of them from the letters OF
the alphabet. Somebody sent him a
piece Of poetry on the alphabet, In
which the letters were made into pic
lures of real persons. Although these
pictures We're not at all like the brown.
les, in looking at them it occurred to
Mr.. Cox-who is skillful artist, or he
would not have had the idea-that the
alphabet letters were queer, anyway,
and it would not be hard to make them
into people. That was the beginning
of the brownies, which nave grown
into such an army of funny folk that
even Mr.. Cox himself can't keep track
of them all. He is very fond of these
children of his brain, and they have
become so real to him that he Is never
quite sure that there aren't odd little
round-eved fellows with fat, short
bodies and spindle legs tumbling about
him almost any time.-N. Y. Times.
