Photograph for Ornament,

There are very few households in
which the accumulation of photo
graphs does not after time make the
question of what to do with them an
embarrassing one. Frames of water
color paper decorated with punches
of flowers, are admirable if one is an
artist in water color painting, but not
all of us are. Those who can execute
sweetly pretty designs in fooled leath-
er, burned wood or carved wood, are
rarer still, and then one has only ones
wits to depend on. The wits after all,
may not serve so badly if they are
properly managed.
Photographs are very often mount
ed on screens with good effect. Spaces
for the insertion of the photograph
are supplied by crossing ribbon bands
on the frame, If it's surface has no
projection into which the pictures
may be stuck.
From the photograph collection not
on public view handsome box is the
best place. Albums are old-fashion.
ed. The box may be of japanned,
carved or lacquered wood or may be
a simple box covered with a home
made fancy cover.

Too Much Soap.

Most persons from habit are too
free users of soap in performing the
daily additions. "It should be borne
in mind that soap removes the Sc
baceous matter from the surface of
the skin, and that the skin, thus de-
prived of it's natural oily substance,
tends to become dry and rough. The
sebaceous glands are thus unduly
stimulated to produce more secretion,
while at the same time the excessive
perspiration is also irritating them to
lubricate the surface. The removal of
the natural grease CT the skin under
these circumstances is distinctly dis
advantageous and bathing should be
performed with plain water. Soap is
only required when bathing is ne
elected" The foregoing is not from
any book on secrets of The toilet, but
is the wisdom of learned physician,
who is pointing out one of the note
orthy causes of that irritating con-
dition known as prickly heat, with
which so many persons suffer in the
early warm season. His contention Is
that prickly heat is in great meas.
ure caused by too much soaping of the
body.

Tomatoes and Strawberries.

Once upon time tomatoes were
looked upon by the learned physician
with adherence, because it was gen.
orally believed that eating them
brought about cancer; nowadays the
tomato is popular vegetable, be-
cause it is looked upon as vegetable
calomel, and eating it serves to keep
the bowels in proper shape. Very
many doctors there are who contend
that strawberries, the most popular
fruit grown, should be banished from
the table of equity and rheumatic per-
sons, probably with just as much rea.
son as was behind the former con.
tempt for the tomato. A writer in
Nature speaks up on behalf Of the
luscious berry and notes what Lin
naeous, the great naturalist, had to
say about the curative properties of
the strawberry. He was persuaded to
partake of the berry while suffering
from an acute attack of sciatica, with
a result that the pain disappeared
and a gentle sleep followed The
next day the sick man partook Of a
great many strawberries and the fol-
lowing day there was no more pain
and he was able to leave his bed.

Walking behind the body the candi
date is led into the dancing house
which has been cleared for the cere
mOny.
The body is tied TO a post and the
unspeakable rite begins.
Then comes another stage of the Ger.
emony-the eating Of living flesh. The
Ha-mattsa run hither and thither
among themselves, biting with the
ferocity of a wildcat, and eating their
flesh.
1t is a point of pride with the victims
to endure the onslaught with stoicism
Besides, the customs of the order pre-
scribe gifts for those who allow them
selves to be bitten. The first prize on
one occasion was awarded to boy
who allowed a large mouthful to be
detached from his forearm.
Having faithfully performed all that
is required of him, the candidate is
pronounced by the elders a full-fedged

INDIAN CANN|BAL JAILED.

that they acquire a taste for human

There was insufficient evidence for
the conviction of Hunt and the same
Is true of all the defendants save one.
He was convicted of having devoured
a portion Of the body of a squaw.
1t is only among a few of the far
northern and inland tribes, remote
from civilization and stubborn in their
resistance to missionary effort, that
the horrible rites of the Ha- mattsa, or
6eSh-eaters, survive.
Every Spring the Ha-mattsa holds
itS initiation ceremonies for new can
didatss, accompanied by feasting and
dancing and other wild orgies. The
chief purpose of the initiation is to
create in the aspirant the taste for
human flesh.
Many curious facts about the canni.
bal fraternity are known. For initia-
ton into the Ha-mattsa the novice
must go and live four or five weeks in
the forest, seeing no one and eating
NO food.
At the end Of Ills Punishment his
spirit appears in the shape of some
animal, which he at once kills and de-
yours raw, whereby he is supposed to
imbibe Its courage and strength, which
thereafter dwells In him.
He returns to the forest adorned
with headdress of cedar bark, dyed
red, which is one of the emblems Of
the hesh-eating fraternity, and is worn
by him during the progress of the in
itiation. He is met by q band of the
secret brotherhood, who escort him to
