PLAN FOR CHARITY WORK
Saturday and Sunday Association
Talked Of

The Saturday and Sunday association,
which has proved so successful in St
Louis and other large cities, is to be
originated in Wichita this year under the
name of the Saturday and Sunday
United Charities" and comprising most
of the charitable associations Of the city.
The usual time is the Saturday and Sun
day Immediately following Thanksgiving
and Wichita associations will probably
adopt the same days.
At least a week before this time boxes
will be placed in the public buildings
over the city TO receive the contributions
of all who are willing TO give to the
sick and poor-be it only penny.
On the appointed Saturday about one
hundred ladies will be at different places
over the city to dispose Of badges at the
purchasers own prices. They viii be sold
for the small price of a cent if that is
all the purchaser wishes to give, but
1t IS desired that they be pinned con-
spicuously on the clothing to show that
the >wearer has an interest in the cause
and is willing that It shall be known.
thereby influencing friends in behalf Of
the same.
The Sunday following will be devoted
10 charitable services and all attendants
az church who possess badges purchased
the day before are asked 10 wear them
and thus add to the enthusiasm for the
cause.
Wichita people have always been so
generous heretofore, and It IS believed
that this plan Of the ladies viii not meet
with disapproval, as It IS not an extor-
ton scheme. but merely a means Of Civ
ing whatever one wishes at Thanksgiving

feet in the center, something after the
fashion Of the Woodman bridge. The
boat is to be run by a gasoline engine
and will have a speed OF ten or twelve
miles an hour, though the average will
probably be six miles. This will be an
important step in giving the park, Of
which every Wichitan is proud. a metro

An incident that occurred at the
military tournament, which was held
in New York City, proved very fore.
IDLY the cordiality Of the feeling ex-
listing between the army and navy. A
young West Pointer who had slipped
from his horse was kicked viciously
in the chest by the animal as he APP
preached it toremount, and was for the
next few minutes very sick soldier.
Among those who helped him from
the arena was a United States sen.
man, and when the victim of the acct.
dent tainted, as he did presently, and

"Jackie" Strengthened up and flew for
the entrance of the Garden like race
horse. No such running was ever
seen off the cinder-path, and when the
sailor came to the edge of the track,
which is banked to q height of several
feet at its outer limit he took flying
leap into the promenade below,
doubling himself up like ball and
landing in heap, to the intense edit
cation of the spectators. The kicked
West Pointer recovered his conscious
ness and strength long before the
doctor was found, but the sailor, by
his spectacular race and leap, certain

THE COLOR OF SNOW.
Why 1t Is Generally White, but Some
times Red.

Why 1t Is Generally White, but Some
times Red.
The white color of snow is the re-
suit of the combination of the different
prismatic rays issuing from the minute
snow crystals. Pounded glass and
foam give analogous illustrations OF
the prlsmatic colors blending together
and forming the white light out OF
which they had been originally formed.
The air contained in the crystals in
tensifles the Whiteness Of the snow.
The snow from its loose texture and
the fact that it contains about ten
times its bulk of air is very bad con-
ductor of heat, and thus forms an ad-
mirable covering for the earth from
the effects of radiation, It not infre-
Quently happening in times of great
cold that the soil is forty degrees
warmer thar the surface of the over
lying snow.
The apparent redness Of snow as
seen from a distance is often an effect
of light which adds O peculiar charm
to mountain and winter landscapes,
particularly in the mornings and ev-
enings, when the rays of the sun fall
most obliquely on the surface Of the
snow, But snow Is occasionally found
both in Polar and Alpine regions Of a
really red color. This phenomenon
seems to have been observed by the
ancients, as a passage in Aristotle ap-
parently refers to it; but 1t attracted
no attention in modern times till 1850,
when Saussure observed it In the Alps,
and from chemical experiments con-
cluded that the red color was owing
to the presence Of some vegetable sub
stance which he supposed might be
the pollen of plant. The next obser'
yations on red snow were made in the
Arctic expedition under Capt. Ross
when it was found extending over q
range Of cliffs on the shore Of Baff1n's
Bay for eight miles, the red color pen
etrating the snow in some places to 6
depth Of twelve feet. On the return o.
the expedition in 1919 the coloring mat
ter as then existing in the melted snow
was subjected to careful examination
by Robert Brown, and by Franci:
Bauer, the former most eminent botan
list pronouncing it to be produced by 1
unicellular plant Of the order Algae
Baron Wrangel afterward declared it t
be a lichen and called it Leprasia Ker
mesina. But DR.. Greville, of Edin
burgh, who obtained specimens from
the Scottish island of Lismore, on fur
Their examination returned to the opin
ion of Brown, an opinion which ha

WISE WORDS.

All luxury corrupts either conduct or
taste.
In bringing up a child, think Of its
old age.
Use only gold and silver coin in the
commerce of speech.
The direction of the mind is more
important than its progress.
Happy is he who is only fit for one
thing In doing it he fulflls his des-
tiny.
There was a time when the world in.
fluenced books, now books influence
the world.
.AIl conquerors have had something
coarse in their views, their genius, and
their character.
To ask of human nature that it
should be infallible and incorruptible
is to ask of the wind that it should not
blow.
Ordinary fact, mere reality, cannot
be the object of art. Illusion based
upon truth-that is the secret of fine
arts.
In literature nothing makes minds
SO imprudent and so bold as ignorance
of past times and contempt for old
books.
Whenever the words altar, tombs,
Inheritance, native land, ancient Gus
tom, foster.mother, master, piety are
heard or pronounced with indifference
all is lost.
In the uneducated classes, the WON
en- ore superior to the men; in the up
per classes, on the contrary, we find
the men superior to the women. This
is because men are more often rich in
acquired virtues, and women in ma
tural virtues.
Other writer's set their thoughts be-
fore us; poets engraye them on oul
memory, They have language su
premely dear to memory, less by Vir
tue of its forms than Of its spiritua
character. Visions spring from thei
words; and images from the thing
they have touched. Joseph Joubert

Women Of Tibet.

In no other country, perhaps, Is a
womans lot so hard as ip Thibet, "the
forbidden land" where civilization has
never penetrated. Women are forced
to do all the mental labor, are treated
worse than beasts, and have absolutely
no amusements. They are constantly
kept shut up in their dark cave-like
homes, seldom being allowed to appear
in public OF to visit friends. At IA a
girl is married to some man who Is
willing to pay her parents a small
quantity of food or clothing by way
of dowry. The marriage ceremony Is
simple. The girls father ties a rope
about his daughters neck and drags
her to her future husbands abode. The
man pays what is considered a fair
sum, in food or clothing, and she Is
heneetorth his wife.

Lobster Is Scarce.

istics Of the lobster may be an unpopu-
lar individual, but the lobster that
lives in the ocean and not social sea,
Is In demand on every festive occa-

moro highly appreciated in the future
than in the past, for he is becoming
scarce. In Massachusetts there Is much
alarm over the decline in the lobster
fisheries along the coast of that state.
The catch last year was 175,000 less
than in 1894, despite the efforts to in
crease the output by planting eggs.
The lobster industry is an important

one that is said to have been used
by Handel when he conducted his

and which was for many years in the
possession of Richard Clark, o famous
musical collector of England. There
is also the delicate little fork used by
Nine. Patti in her 1882 concert tour
of this country. and host of those
used by manufacturers before the
adoption of the international pitch in
