SOME NEW INVENTIONS.

A new milk can for retail dealers
use has a recess in the center of the
bottom, into which a dipper exactly
fits, to force the milk out and cause
it to drain into the dlpper TO empty
the can without tipping it UP.
Hair ribbons cannot slip off the
hair If new retainer is used, COM
prising a toothed plate having a
hook, a flexible strap attached to the
plate and lever catch on the strap
to engage the hook after it is drawn
over the hair and ribbon and hold it
in closed position to grip the hair.
To assist in holding four-in-hand
ties in place after they are tied, a
wire clip is attached to the collar
on each side of the button, and ex-
tending outward to form a loop
through which one end of the tie is
passed to draw the knot down to the
proper position.
Fish cannot work themselves loose
from a new hook after they take the
bait, the barb and point Of the hook
being mounted on pivot at the end
Of the curved portion to tilt outward
and form T-crOsspiece as the
fish tries to get loose.
Gongs on street cars can be worked
automatically by new attachment,
in which a gear wheel attached to the
car axle turns a shaft running II the
front platform of the car, where it is
connected with revolving hammer
inside the bell, plunger in the plat
form pushing the gong in position to
be struck by the hammers.
A handy holder for snelled lines
and fishhooks is composed of a thin
board, with a rubber band adapted
to engage the loop OF SMELL, when the
hook can be pulled down until it will
slip over the cppc site end Of the
beard.

the northern limit of their power has
never been well defined.
Such nation even of savage In
dams could not help but leave it's i'm
press on history. For hundred
years they were one of the chief fac
tors ia the settlement of New York
state by white men, and the barrier
they presented to western immigra
ton long held civilization back. They
compelled treaties from the whites
and made alliances with the French
the English and the Americans in the
wars they waged with each other
One of the indications of the compar-
ative stage of civilization the Iroquois
had reached was their use of wam-
pun made from different colored
shells to denote it's value as money or
it's sacredness. The white wampum
was made from the conch or peri
Wrinkle and the black wampum from
the hard-shell clam. 1t was ground
into beads and strung on belts, and
when used as money, in 1910, six
beads passed for a penny and belts
varied in value from 5 shillings to 10
shillings. In ratifying a treaty a
belt of wampum was given to bind
each article and on the beads were
carved arbitrary figures, which form
ed a record of the event. For this
reason they are one of the most
unique relics on this continent.
The voluntary surrender of these
wampum belts is a virtual surrender
of the identity of the Iroquois as a
nation. Their power long since
passed away, but they have hereto
fore retained nominal organization,
which has become weaker as the
tribes have become more civilized.
But now that responsible delegations
have given up their insignia of au-
thority and power, the history of the
nation of Iroquois Indians can be
taken as a closed book.-Philadel
Press.

REST.

Let us rest ourselves a bit.
Worry? Wave your hand to it,
Kiss your finger tips and smile
It farewell a little while.
Weary of the weary way
We have come since yesterday,
Let us fret us not in dread
Of the weary way ahead.
While we yet look down, not up,
To seek out the buttercup
And the daisy where they wave
Ger the green home of the grave.
Let us launch us smoothly on
Listless pillows of the lawn
And drift out across the main
Of our childish dreams again.
Voyage off beneath the trees,
Ger the fields enchanted seas,
Where the lilies are our sails
And our sea gulls nightingales,
Where no wilder storm shall beat
Than the wind that waves the
wheat
And no tempests burst above
The old laughs we used to love,
Lose all troubles, gain release,
Languor and exceeding peace,
Cruising idly DER the vast,
Calm midocean of the past.
LET us rest ourselves a bit.
Worry? Wave your hand to 1t,
Kiss your finger tips and smile
II farewell a little while.

LAST OF AN INDIAN NATION.
Ceremony Recalling Its Ancient
Power and Prestige.

! A unique ceremony occurred at AL
bany, N. Y, which may be said to end
definitely the existence of what was
in time past great Indian nation. It
was the formal surrender of the wam-
pun belts which were once the in
sigma of the authority Of the Iroquois
nation, and for century or more
have been the cherished relics of the
descendants of those tribes. They
I were handed over to the charge of
the board of regents of the University
of New York state to be preserved as
perpetual memories of people whose
name and fame have passed into his
tory.
The IroquOis nation was the most
powerful and highly organized body
of Indians existing north of Mexico
when this country was first settled by
the white man. They are probably
the only Indians who then deserved
the name of nation. Their home was
the INSTRUMENTAL counties Of New
York state, region we'll adapted to
the wants of a people exerting a COM
handing influence over a large num-
( Der of Indian tribes outside their own
organization. It is high and health
full and the rivers and lakes which
drop down from it in nearly every di-
rection made it easily accessible when
canoes were the chief means of COM
munication with the outside world
| The power of the IroquOis was not,
however, restricted by the territory
occupied by the six tribes that COM
posed the nation. By treaties and by
conquest they extended their int1u-
ence eastward into Massachusetts,
, southwark to Virginia and westward
nearly to the Mississippi river, while

TO REDUCE THE ABDOMEN.

There is an old-fashioned rhyme
which it will hurt none of us to re-
peat and to ponder:
Hold up your head and bride your
chin,
Turn our your toes and your stomach
hold in.
"And your stomach hold in!" That
is the crucial test of body excellence,
and many there be that fail to meet
it. 1t can never be done until con-
troll of the abdominal muscles is ac-
quired, and for this control-a diff
cult one to acquire every effort must
be made, and all the mind directed to
the effort. Here is one of the rules
by which it may be accomplished:
Stand in an erect position for half an
hour every day, and for five or six
minutes at time practice drawing
the abdomen in and letting it out,
says a writer in Harper's Bazaar.
This is one of the hardest of all
things to do, and requires much pa
thence. One will be astonished to dis
cover at first how unresponsive the
muscles are and how next to impossi-
bic it seems to make one move.
When little fexibility has been &C
quired then hold the abdomen in and
lift the chest and draw down the
shoulders. Keeping the shoulders
down, begin again to contract and ex-
pand the abdomen. Then begin
again, holding in the abdomen, l. It
ing the chest, and drawing down the
shoulders; you will find your whole
body Strengthened as well. Nothing
is strained by these movements.
When the muscles have become fiex-
ible one will discover that when one
leans over, even to pick something up
from the floor, one no longer does so
without involuntary contracting the
abdominal muscles, until day by day
greater compactness in those reg
ions is gained, and the stomach
learns to do the work for itself. It's
size in the meantime is reduced.
Many persons have gone down sew
eral inches in the abdomen by follow
ing no other prescription than this.
To ''hold up your head properly,
you must learn not to indulge in the
contortions of those persons who
bend the body backward, throwing
the line of the spine out of gear, in
their well-meant efforts to get the
head erect.
Nothing can exceed the ugliness
and the awkwardness of the result,
for the whole body is thrown into abb
normal lines. The proper way is
this-a rule, by the way, which is
given by a wellknown teacher to her
pupils-a teacher who combines with
a knowledge of the body and it's laws
unusual mental endowments: Feel
the ball of your feet as you stand and
press the floor; then tip the body for
ward, using the hip-joint hinges, and
without bending the spine.
The right tip has been acquired
when an imaginary straight line fall
ing from the bust would touch the
ends of the toes Then simply lift the
head until the eye is brought to a
place where one can look straight out
from the pupils, and not from under
the lids The eye-level controls the
pose of the head, and regulates it's re-
lation to the spine. Walk retaining
the same position, and always letting
the chest be in the advance, as
though one were following that.
When this rule is followed, a large
abdomen is concealed and almost for
gotten; it is certainly never OBJ
truded.

LOVE RULES.

She knows that I love her so;
But just to see her smile
Illumines all the earth me
IT'S heaven for the while.
But when she frowns, then woe is me;
There is no joy in life,
But sorrow, pain and darkness drear
Interminable strife.
God grant my nope, though placed
high,
/ cannot wander tar;
My life she rules-she is my life,
My hope, my guiding star!
