either blouse or fit closely. For the
street Is added n blouse that disap-
pears at the waist line under a belt,
and so seems one with the skirt. The
blouse is not baggy, but is merely made
without darts, and Is either split down
the front to show the under bodice, or
turns away in deep rever. The
sleeves are carefully made on bodice
and not coat lines, and there is no coat
collar, this difficulty being gotten over
by cutting the blouse down at the
throat and allowing the under bodice
to show in yoke fashion. The effect is
exactly that of dress worn without
an overgarment.
Two such costumes are shown here;
one Of green broadcloth simply
trimmed with braid and worn over a
tight bodice of lighter green French
flannel, the other dark red cloth almost
covered with appliqued braid, and
showing n scarlet silk blouse. From
this last model it will be seen that the
blouse may have skirts, yet If the un-
der bodice shows as waistcoat and
yoke, the no-jacket suggestion will be
there.

with kodak and a big bunch OF flash

crept and rolled, needless OF personal
danger, through the narrow and steep
passageway so often abandoned by 9TH

himself In glittering chamber OF sta
lagmitic and stalagtitic formation. As
he toasted his eyes upon the grand and
wonderful surroundings, amid the
deathlike stiffness, disturbed only by
the incessant trickling of little drops
of water and the reverberatiOns of his
own breathing, he suddenly discovered
well-defined and symmetrical proper
tons, almost equal In length to the
domelike structure in which he stood,
and in general appearance not unlike
totem pole. By the aid Of his remain
ing fiashlight material he was able to
obtain an almost perfect view.
What this really Is, when it was con-
structed, why and how, are matters
which led this amateur photographer
to give to the public an Illustration Of
his discovery in order that scientists
may consider the problem. That a de-
vout and -worshiping people have
many times bowed to this image Is not
to be doubted. Undoubtedly the pas
sageway leading to the temple of this
idol has been gradually closed by the
constantly forming limestone. From
this time forward the locality Of this
remarkable discovery will be one of I'M

The Arc of Complimentine.

Compliments are the poetical touches

place, and it is as pleasant to recog-

friends as it is to profit by them. Profit
we do, undoubtedly, as all that makes
life fairer makes 1t better, and whole
some dlscernment of good traits must

"SPEAkIN' OF FISH,"
A Curious Fact About Eels That is Not
Generally Known.

4OUCtoHy '>'S""
"Speakin' of fish," said the man in
the peajacket, as he leaned a little
harder on one of the posts of the Bat
terry sea wall, reminds me of eels."
Say, young fellow, did you ever
ketch an eel? Well, If you havn't,
you've missed something. There's lots
of ways to gather 'em in, but hooks
was good enough for me an my frens
waen / way boy. You see it's this
way. When we wanted cells we'd go
down to the crick, roll up our pants an
wade in. Every feller'd have kitchen
fork an he'd go around aliftin' the
stones as careful as be could, an when
he'd see loggerhead astandin' kind q
peaceful like, he'd jest up an jab him.
When we'd got a good sized can full
we'd go ashore an then we'd bait our
hooks.
WED have about 100 hooks, each
one fastened to stout line about a
foot and half long, and when we'd
got our hooks baited we'd wait for
night. Dark nights are best; you can't
ketch cells in the light of the moon
When night came we'd go down to the
crick agen. and when no one was
around we'd tie all our hooks on one
long line, about a yard apart. Then
we'd tie big stone on one end of the
long line, which was stout, and drop
1t in the water near shore. A smaller
stone went on the other end, and after
the strongest Teller had thrown 1t out
into the crick as far as he could so as
to stretch the line we'd all go home.
about daybreak some feller's
motherd waken him an he'd come
aroun' and waken the rest by whistlin
an THROWN gravel agen the houses.
Then we'd go down an hunt up the
big stone an pull in our line. If we'd
have luck we'd get six or seven cells.
Some of them would be deader'n a
door nail an all snarled up in the line
and some would be lively and quick
well, as quick as an eel. We'd just
more'n have fun a-trying to see who
could hold them live ellis. 1t took a
grip / can tell you.
Say: it's funny thing about live
cells. If you take stick an mark n
cross on the ground and lay your eel
on the longest mark he's no better an
a dead one. He can't move to save
his life; he can't do 1t. II you don't
believe me you jest go and catch a
live eel an try it."-New York Sun.

There rs Just a bit Of comfort for her
who has tight-ftting coat left over
from last season and feels that she
really ought to wear 1t, because there
are several new models Of the tight
fitting garment. The tight model that
the artist presents In the third picture
was a stunning modification Of the
riding habit fit. 1t showed a double
row of buttons, and an unbroken Mt
from the hem to the bust. Then the
garment became still more double
breasted and Tapped away over to the
right side. Such a design has the effect
of making the waist seem small and
adding to the breadth at the chest. The
collar should be close and tailor-made.
These snug Jackets and coats are not
as warm as they might be, but tho
fashions endorse going without a
jacket altogether, so that point doesn't
count much against them. In reality
the endorsement is fake, for the
jacket Is there, only the general effect
Is that of a dress worn without an

nounced blouse, and is drawn TO the
figure by belt that droops just the
least in front. The opening below the
belt Is we'll at the side, is held snugly
by big hooks. and so trim Is the effect
that you almost seem to have on a
skirt and blouse, except for the little
fur edge that peeps along the opening
Such n garment Is an entire costume,
with the right sort OF hat gloves and
shoes as accessories, and the gown be-
meath really makes very little differ

When winter jackets are reached. 1t
will be found In any stylish collection
that tight-fitted ones are rare. A great
variety in the arrangement Of the
blousing will be found, but few Of
these garments are made without some
modification of the blouse. The three
jackets in the next illustration are sig
Dificant Of the fact that the craze for
a front contrasting with the rest of the
bodice has been carried into the jacket
department. Lots OF blouse jackets
turn back in deep rever down the
front, to show either a simulated
waistcoat, soft bloused front, or the
under bodice. The latter effect inter-
feres with warmth, but this very point
keeps most women from wearing such
jackets, which are thus made unusual
enough to please the women who care
more for exclusive style than for pro-
lection. A vest of white cloth was in

To Renew an Old Orchard.

Renew an old orchard by blowing in
the fall and applying a top dressing
of barnyard manure, giving each tree
about two big wagonloads. In fact,
spread it over the entire surface three
or four inches deep, and you will be
astonished at the results. Your trees
will take on new lease of life, make
good growth, with healthy dark
green foliage in the place of the siclSly
light green Of previous years. You
will get large crops of excellent fruit.

is that they are hide-bound in grass

For many years evidence has been

Of Rock river, otherwise known as SUI

Of beings equaling, II not surprising, In
intelligence the Toltecs Of Mexico and
Indians Of Alaska. Archaeologists
have from time to time discovered dis
connected remains OF a former civiliza-
ton that most assuredly had Its cities,
towns and hamlets, its schools, its OBJ

which archaeologists have long been In

Make the Farm Richer.

The farmer who grows large crops
and does not make his farm richer ev-
cry year Is losing money, even IL he de-
rives profit from the crops. 1t is not
always necessary to buy manure Of fer
tilizers to add to the fertility Of the
soil. Proper rotation of crops and the
use of green manure, plowed under,
will accomplish much. 1t may, how
ever, at times be cheaper to purchase
fertilizers. but. with a system of rota.
ton, and the growing of clover, the
cost Of fertilizers will be reduced
When the land becomes richer every
year the value of the farm Is increased
correspondingly.

Animals Need Lime

Lime Is necessary for animals as well
as for the land, but lime salts exist in
the food, predominating in some kinds
more than in others. Corn and wheat
grains contain but small proportion
OF lime, hence young animals, or dams
that care to produce young, require
other foods than grain. Glover hay
contains over twenty times as much
lime as corn, while bran is also rich in
mineral elements. Leg weakness, slow
growth and lack of vigor are frequent
ly the result of foods containing but
little lime.
