For the past three weeks the Peters has

Made Far More Profitable by a Special
Art Training.
To an embroiderer living must be more
than a bare existence. There are two
classes of embroiderers the artistic and
the plain. As in all arts, there are the
good and the poor, the exceptional
and the ordinary. There is the
work OF the artist and the work
of those who are not artists. Work
done by the needle can lie as high in art
as that by the brush. One must have
originality in colorings and designs to
carry EN- broidery to higher standard
than is found in shops. Com petition is a.
sharp as In any other business. There is
the machine work and the product of the
girl who does it by the piece.

the bandage off the moment he was re-

adopted.
A healing lotion was prepared and then
when the bear had beer attracted to the

other applied the healing lotion to the

application was repeated in this manner

KANSAS CITY, Mo, April 24.-C.
Hurst, a sculptor, plunged head first from

this morning. His head was crushed ike

Hurst had been acting queerly for some
time past, and his friends were a little
fearful that he would commit suicide. He
used 10 talk, however, about the easiest
way Of getting out of lie, which would be
not to mutilate the body in any way, but
10 take poison, or if there was any ooiec-
lion TO that to jump into the water and
die a pleasant death.
He was a sculptor of m ore than ordinary
ability. For some reason or other, how
ever, he never seemed TO make much
money and was ALWAYS Respondent.

of Tomani Bay, in the island of Celebes,
and about forty miles from Fort Amster-
dam, Dutch Government station the
coast. The natives were very civil and
agreed to pilot the crew to that place.
The road was mere cattle track
through woods SO thick that a dog could
scarcely make his way. and nothing was
seen the first day but droves OF monkeys.
The heat was fearful and the attacks of
numperiess insects kept them from sleep

morning. About 10 O'Clock they were
coming to an open place in the woods,
