osTRicH HUNTING.
Profitable Sport That Is Making the Ar
ricap Birds Scarce.

rican Birds Scarce.
An ostrich chase is very attractive
sport, or rather the sale OF booty is so
great as TO attract hunters The Arabs
give themselves TO it with real passion.
Mounted on their fine little horses, they |
try as much as possible to fatigue the
ostrich. for as il is feet high and has
very strong legs it possesses qulckness
of movement which the best horse can
not attain. Il has great endurance.
Overtaken by the hunter, il seeks to de-
fend itself with its feet and wings, but
more often it still strives to escape by
night, uttering plaintlye cry. In lacV,
the ostrich is deprived Of the power or
fight by reason of its great size. The
muscular force with which nature has
endowed it is not equal to hitting such
a weight. Its peculiar organization has
made il the courier of the desert, where
| it is able to quickly traverse the almost
| limitless expanse.
The Arab knows very we'll that 1t Is

chase requires eight or ten hours but u
offers large rewards. The plumes are
worth a considerable sum. the SKIN
makes good leather, and the Arabs are
very fond of the flesh. Besides, III spite

LOVE WHICH AssAiLs.
Love, which asaaila us oft

Love, which assaila US oft ~
AT glance or woril,
Strikes home so quick, so soft.
1t Is not seen or heard.
Yet shall the heart until It's dying day
Bear token OF the gentle despots sway.
Love has n smiling mien,
Yet ia he stern
His bolt IS shot unseen.
Tho heart il cleaves shall burn
And long and wait, and wait and long again
For love 10 cure where love has given pain.
Love for its conquest needs
A day, an hour.
The stricken heart stin bleeds-
Such is loves power
While year on year shall in procession glide,
Still seeking love and scorniDg all beside.
Loves cruelties we know
All we who live.
Yet seek for nothing so
AS that the god may give
To MS his pleasure, pain and honey gall,
Lacking which gifts we lack lifes best OF all

Mr.. Scott made a po'pt on the oues, ior

Mr.. Scott made point on the ques ion

ed that Lake Linden was being supplied
by a corporation and pays 5000 per
month for supply OF 5000, 600 gallone,
while HancocS's system supplies II, Ot o.
600 gallons per month at a cost oi 1920.
he also remarked that while he did not
sac anything in the charter allowing the
village tn go into the drug business, it
was provided that the mu0icipali Y
might put in an electric light plant AID
furnish light also to priva g individu, lie.
Mr. c. A. Wright made a short speech,
which was listened TO attentiSely, and IN
which he argued, from bus ness point Of
view, against the village bonding itself
in an undertaking so likely to prove dis
astr us. He said that while hut very few
| would use electric lights at any cost. the
whole mass OF taxpayers would have to
stand the brunt OF the failure.
w. II. Mason defended himself again, I
attacks made on him through various
letters published lately, and offered hiT

The Innuit race of people, commonly
and also corruptly called Eskimos, occu-

the arctic coast to Boring strait; thence
southwark to the Alaskan peninsula
over the peninsula and the Aleutlan Is

the coast to Mount st. Elias, with the
exception of comparatively small ter
ritory at Cooks inlet, and also at the
mouth of Copper river, at which points
the Tinneh tribe of Indians from the
interior have forced their way to the
coast. Living constantly on or near the
sea. they from infancy have not the
slightest fear of the dangers of the deep,
and at an early age become boid naVi-
gators ard skilled fishermen and sea
hunters.

THE FASCINATING TEA GOWN.

Pretty Costumes In Harmony with the Singing
Kettle nnd the wholesome Gossip.
The toa gown has assumed q condition Of ele-
gance this season which, combined with tho
sentiment Of luxury 1t is supposed to express.
makes 1t the most fascinating gown in a wo-
mans outfit. Certainly no other costume Ia SO
essentially feminine in character or Individual
in style. IL 1t is properly designed, as this pretty
gown, which Is always in harmony with the
singing kettle and the wholesome gossip over
tie cup OF tea.
The materials. as well as the modes, are espo-
oially favorable for this style OF gown, as thcre
are 80 many soft ~clinging fabrics In the market.
The daintiest tea gown is made Of accordion
plated white mousseline de solo over silk. and
It is altogether charming with simply a finish of
lace and ribbon; but you can give 1t character
and color by stripping the skirt at intervals, up
and down. with MORE ribbon, In some pretty
tint, which 10 covered with a thin lace insertion
and edged on either side with a tiny ruche of
the chiffon. A little bolero jacket OF the ribbon.
insertion and chiffon riches. is a pretty addi-
ton to the blouse bodice OF plain plisse chiffon.
The sleeves are also Of the plisse, with the plaits
running around and caught on the thin lining
at the back to hold them in place.
Among the more durable materials employed
are the cashmercs. crepes de chine. strip d taft
feta silks. and Oriental satins. English women,
who use the tea gown ass part of their economy
as well as comfort, add velveteen to the list Of
materials. Plated black Brussels net over
black satin makes n lovely tea gown, with q
bolero and cape sleeves OF black velvet en-

broidered with jet. Pale yellow cloth and white
chiffon are combined in another model made with
a Vatican plat at the back and long, distinct
which pouches at the waist, where it Is defined
by a silver and turquoise belt. Insertions Of
lace. outlined with rows of black velvet baby rib
bon. trim some Of the cashmere gowns. Rows

are also very much used. The gown which re-
quires the 10 st trimming to make 1t effective is
composed OF tHffetn silk. with n white or tinted
ground, striped with two or three dainty color5.
A ribbon belt and bow and q little lace for the
front are quite sufficient.
The latest tea gown has a demi-train. which
adds much to the grace OF the garment and
loose and fluffy effect about the wrist, are vastly
more becoming than the balloons worn a short
time ago.
Ivory white cashmere forms one of the gowns
illustrated, and the fronts hang loose from a
yoke trimmed with rows of gathered white
satin baby ribbon. The frill over the shoulders
and down the sides has a band Of cream lace in:
s]ertion set in above the hem, and the neck and
sleeves are trimmed with lace and gathered
ribbon. The back Is cut with the Vatican
plat, which is still. a prevailing style. Black
while the third Is of pink Liberty satin. The
yoke is of cream lace. A bow Of black velvet
ribbon heads the Vatican plait, and ends from
this are threaded through the shoulder puffs of
the tucked sleeves and the plaits in the front Of
the bodice. with q very pretty effect. Ivory
white crepe de chine over pink silk, with ecru
lace sleeves and Insertions Of lace for trimming,
makes one of the ~prettirst of tea gowns.
One point to be considered in the general style
of this dress is the blouse front, which Is quite
as evident as 1t T. In street gowns. and still
reaching nearly to The hem of the skirt. They
may be entirely of lace. chiffon, or the material
Of the gown with rows of insertion crossing at
of lace across the bottom; but they are a telling
feature of the latest models.

FRILLS OF

Long garments In the form of ~ulsters. new
