PULLING DOWN a MUNCHAUSEN.
He Told Girl About a Wonderful
Creek and Got a Pointer.

Perhaps the n oSt popular man connected
with the Yellowstone Park transportation
Company is Capt E. c. Culver of Gardner.
In addition to the duties of justice OF
the peace, he makes daily trip on the
park train and personally interviews every
man, boy, woman and child who travels
on it. He is walking encyclopedia of
park information. He knows the height OF
every peak, the altitude of every important
location, and can give YOU Prof. Hayden's
theory of the parks geological formation.
Besides all this he is q prince of good
fellows and has fund of humor which
sometimes carries him away when touching
up descriptions and legends OF the park.
Some time ago the captain had an ex
perience which was too good o keep, and
he gave it away to friend in town. He
was going from the springs to Cfnnabar,
and there Were three very bright young
ladies on the coach One of them asked
if it Were Gust omary to have so many mos
quito in so high an altitude. The captain
assured that it was rot unusual; that they
were increasing year by year; that no
mosquitoes were ever known in the park
Until about eight years ago, a New Jersey
school ma am had carefully incosed somein
her trunk and letthem out ut Mammoth Hot
Springs, when, like rabbits i'll Australia.
| they became an increasing pest.
All agreed that it was remarkable, but
one girl seemed to carry a smile of in
credulity. As the conversation continued
Mr.. Culver was asked what he considered
the most remarkable thing in the park. He
said that il beauty and grandeur We're to
be left out OF the count, he thought the
most remarkable thing" was Alum creek,
little stream cutting into the river be-
tween the falls and the lake. Originally, he
said, the distance between the hotels at the
| lake and the falls was twenty-six miles,
but when they commenced to sprinkle the
| road between the two places with water
| taken from Alum creek some years rsagothey
/ soon found the distance between the hotels
| shortenedby about eight miles. Asthe otels
were then only about eighteen miles apart
and the road still shrinking, the superin-
| tendent ordered them to use no more water
/, from Alum creek And then the captain told
another little legend about the creek
| that was quite well authe nticated. Last
year, he said, party went through the
| park on camping tour, and young lady
with them came into the park wearing No.

BUSINESS WOMEN'S BLOUSES

The SHIRT waist is always in good taste
for office wear and especially where econ
oIny is necessity. Business women, gen
orally speaking, must dress upon limited
income, and, OF course, dress neatly.
The silk shirt waist, or blouse, as it is
sometimes called, is very practical More
SO, indeed, than the waist made of wash
materials SILK sheds the dust and is less
wrinkled with the put on and off of the
outer garment When combined with a
linen collar, cuffs and jaunty tie, there is
Il freshness that is very satisfactory and
attractive.
A change of ties and style of collar lends
variety Half dozen collars and three or
four ties are sufficient and within the av-
erage income.
The iirst cost of the outfit is a little
more than when purchasing wash waists
the difference, however, is more than Gov
cred when the laundry bill is counted.
Silk waists, with neckbands, can be
bought for So so. A very good quality OF
taffeta in black or colors can be had for
$3.50. If a woman is handy with the
needle, and has time TO make her own
clothes, the same amount of money can Dc
put into material The better quality OF
SILK, OF course, wears longer idttei hS
can he bought for . 5 cents, which give in
detail the directions for cutting out the
waist. A light, thin lining will add to the
durability OF tie waist There is Ger
tain st yle of waist that requires very little
sewing-the shoulder SEAMS, one under the
arm seam, one seam in each sleeve and one
arm, sleeve, requiring less than live yarcs
of stitching. All told. This is quite an Oh
iect VI hen the work must bc done by hand

OSTRICH FARMS IN AFRICA

The rearing OF 0stnches for their feathers
is an industry of which little is known, in
spite of tie fact that the business has
slight foothold in the United states.
South Africa is the place where ostrich
farming flourishes. The country is unlike
that OF ans other part of the globe 1t Is
flat, sandy and relieved only by long, low
rocky sierras. 1t is a dry and arid pros
pect and it is almost impossible tn he
lieve that every inch of the soil is loaded
with vegetable life ready to shoot up AT
the first spring rain. White farm build
ings dot the desolate prospect az intervals.
A wen-fenced and secure ostrich in
closure is possible only IL tie wealthy
farmers, 50 every ostrich farmer has his
camp, which varies from 5000 TO 5000
acres. and in it lie keeps his 300 or 500
birds, his horses nd his cattle. Tie
birds roam over this territory year n and
year OUT. being collected once about every
four months 70 be shorn OF their feathers.
In June the prime feathers are pluCked-
Thev are the long whites, from eighteen
to twenty in each wing, eight or more
fancy fecthers and q few blacks. -Four
months after these fine feathers are pluckcd
their stumps are dra wn out and two months
are drawn
An ostrich in its wild state is terribly
afraid or . man. but when dOmesticated
first bee ONES docile then assumes super
ority and the airs OF Il master when II
finds there is nO.ning tO be afraid Of.
From June TO September thousands uf
ostrich chicks are raised and thousands
meet death from many accidents. The
nest is a crude affair followed out in
the sand. One bird will lay fIom ten 20
twenty eggs, but often three birds viii
lay In one nest. These are too many for
one bird to hatch and are wceded out.
When Il nest is hatChed the chicks are
taken [ 0 the hom estcad 70 be tanned Dur
ing the breeding season a male ostrich
is an ugly customer TO handle and his note
ordefiance can be heard at long distances
-"brooming,'' the Dutch call IL. He initiates
his neck Cobra fashion and gives three
deep roars like those of a lion. A stout
stick or blunt pitchfork is the best weapon
to use when an angry bird attacks one.
The bird viii charge from thirty-foot

in price and style to suit any pocketbOok

The very narrow belts are still popular.
Leather is the leading material, though
narrow belt ribbons are also worn.
A bias piece three or four inches wide
of the material of the waist, finished
with hooks and a smart bow, makes an

INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD
(Harper's S Bazar.)

The daily rule for sleeping and eating
for the average Child is that should, when
one month old, be fed every two hours
from 8 a. m. to IL p m., sleeping from
that time until 5 a. IN. again. At three
months it should be fed every two and one
half hours from a. IN. to 10 p. M, sleep
ing from 10 p IN. to 6 a. m At
six months should he fed every three hours,
from a. m TO p. m. sleeping from
p. m. To a. m. AT one year OF age achild
should he fed at Z 10, 2, 6 and o'clock.
The first and last meals should be given the
child in bed from the bottle, while the other
three meals should be fed from bowl and
spoon. in order to begin the weaning gproceSS.
During the last of the night there should
be always ready by the bedside thor
oughly clean nursing bottle, filled with
water that has been boiled. If the baby
is wakefuI. fretful or hungry allow him TO

They say that the office girl is superior to

As q rule she has absolutely no taste for

Ihaye something ON my mind. 1t is this:
That on cht % write on the absolute neces-
sity Of hand-glass to every woman; not
that / think that every woman makes up,
but a hand-glass is searching as the
public eye, n properly used. II reveals
all the faults Of our appearance without
fear or favor, and this is a good thing
sometimes. We must all confess that We
like to look rs well as possible; and we
must also confess, il we be truthful, that
there are only a few of US who do not,
now ana then, use a touch of powder.
What we do wish TO Insist on is that
no trace of powder can ever be seen on
our faces. And this is where the hand
glass is indispensable. There is no doubt
that a little powder-and / think a little
rouge now and then-adds considerably to
theappearance; but for the sake of woman
hood do not go on the street after applying
either without first consulting a hand
mirror. Do not be satisfied with a full
length pier glass. These are deceptive
things. Get a hand-mirror, and stand with
your back to the light, letting its pene-
trating rays tell their own tale. If you
take my advice you viii never have cause
to blush because some spiteful old thing
on street car says with smile, excuse
me- my dear, but your powder is rather
patchy on your forehead"
Before l say good-by TO you, l must tell
YOU something about the various patterns
and kinds of shoes 1 have seen recently.
! Nothing ma keS a woman look so neat as
a pretty shoe, and no one article of dress
can so effectively destroy the whole ap-
! pearance, if it is ill-fitting or ugly in
shape.

! ceivable tint S o be seen, and you may
toe surprised to knoVa.s hat our footwear
can now be adorned by Jewels without our
being considered vulgar.
One of the most charming shoes / have

broidered with pale green beads on the

embr oidered on the toe with black beads.
Besides looking very pretty, these shoe!
are also less expensive than the others
have mentioned. Bronze leather will, OF
course, always have its advocates, it being
such an economical shade, and making
such delightful combination when a topaz
