She was only little mother, and her
weapons were those with which ma
ture had furnished her; namely, teeth
aud claws. But two valiant men in
uniform demolished her with clubs,
and then, to make sure that she was
dead, fired three bullets into her poor
head. Her motherless babies were
probably drowned. The wounds which
she inflicted in her maternal passion,
being on human beings were regarded
with pity by all beholders, and were
cauterized by a doctor who appre.
hended no serious results from them
to the victims. They, be it noted, be-
gan the trouble; for the poor little
mother was only a beautiful Maltese
cat, ordinarily OF very amiable dispo'

Halan of TroY,a Secret.

Tradition says that no woman who
ever lived had such beautiful COM
plexion as Helen of Troy, and now we
are informed she attained this dis
tinction by using q very simple salve
or lotion on her skin. The ingredients
of this salve are an egg, citron and
some seltzer water. How the beau
teous Helen contrived to obtain selt-
zer water we are not told, but the dis
coverer Of the recipe assures us that a
water very similar to it was we'll
known in ancient times. The cltron,
after being cut in two lengthwise, is
freed from lite pulp and the two halves
are put together so as to form a small
cup, into which the yolk of the egg is
poured after being carefully separated
from the white.
The mixture is allowed to stand for
an hour and is then put on the face,
where it should remain for half an
hour, after which time it may be re-
moved by spraying the skin with the
contents of a siphon of seltzer water.
BY repeating this operation daily
wrinkles will soon be removed and
the complexion will become fair and
brilliant

of deep transverse valleys crossing the
territory from east to. west and con-
stituting the present drainage system.
In so far as my observations have
gone, these are all true valleys of ero-
sion. The third and perhaps tnest
striking feature in the Typography Of
eastern Patagonia are the volcanic
cones and dikes, and the resulting lava
sheets, which, covering extensive areas
throughout the central plains, are seen
Gaping most Of the higher table lands
and frequently descending well down
the, slopes into the present valleys,
while the extinct volcanoes often rise
majestically hundreds Of feet above
the surr ounding plain.
In line approximating the seventy
second meridian Of west longitude,
the Andes rise abruptly from the
plains and form one Of the most rug
ged and in many respects most pic
turesque mountain chains in the world.
Many of. the peaks attain an altitude
Of oyer 10, 900 fee, quite sufficient at.
this latitude to preclpitate most of the
moisture In the atmosphere as it is,
forced over from the Pacific. Owing.
to the southwesterly winds which pre-
vail here throughout the year, the at
mosphere during its long journey
across the Pacific becomes saturated
with moisture, which, together with
the completeness of the precipitation
brought about by the advantageous to-
biography Of the western coast, renders
this region one with an exceedingly
high annual rainfall and consequently
luxuriant vegetable growth in strik-
ing contrast to the dry and compare
lively barren eastern region, where
the winds, already deprived Of most
OF their moisture during their passage
over the Andes, are usually dry and
low. The prevailing winds in eastern
Patagonia, as in western, are south
westerly, and IN easterly wind of
twenty-four hours duration on the
eastern coast is sure to terminate in
heavy fall Of rain or snow.

color, and frequents the wooded re-
gions. 1t is rather shy, in striking
contrast with the smaller G. 'azare,
abundant in the plains, OF light gray
color, and about the size Of small
red fox. The guanaco or South Amer
lean camel is very abundant over the
plains, and occasionally enters the
wooded mountainous districts. Among
the birds, two, from their size, are
especially noteworthy, the rhea, or So
called ostrich, found in great numbers
on the plains, and the condor, COM
mon in the Andes. along the high
bluffs Of the sea coast and about the
basalt cliffs Of the interior plains re-
gion.
The natives of the eastern and west
ern region belong to two entirely dis
tinct races, differing from each other
in their customs, language, and mode
of life. TIC the eastern region belong
the Tehnelches, a large, well-devel-
oped and peaceable race, living en-
tirely by the chase. They construct
their habitations and make their am
pie clothing with considerable skill
from the skins Of the guanaco. In
the capture Of the guanaco, rhea and
other game animals and birds they
are exceedingly proficient and show
much ingenuity. -
The Channel Indians of the western
region are physically much inferior to
the Tehnelches. They are essentially
n maritime people with all their ac-
tivities clustering about the shore.
from which they never proceed more
than few miles inland. They subsist
chiefly upon shell fish, the flesh Of seals,
fish, and the sea otter and a few edible
fungi indigenous to the region they
inhabit From the skins Of the seal
and sen otter they construct their
clothing, usually exceedingly scanty,
Notwithstanding the inhospitable eli
mate. Rude huts are sometimes built
from the branches Of trees, but they
spend much of their time in small
open boats made of beech bark sewed
together with whale bone. 1t Is in
the construction Of their boats and
the implements used by them in the
capture of seals that they show the
greatest skill and resource.

Gus glaciers, many of which reach

The towns surveyed on the line tE the
road were named respectively Platte,

People living in the old towns have
been fighting hard to induce the COM
pany to change the route, but, failing
in this, they decided to more bag and

In one instance q four story. frame

There Were Ten.

Until recently every person who
crossed certain bridge over the Seine
in Paris had to pay a small toll, and
an old pensioner was stationed at the
entrance to the bridge to collect the
money. Constant objections were
raised on the toll, and all possible
tricks were resorted to in order to
avoid payment.
One afternoon a band of 10 students
came up to the bridge; but before
they started to go over man drew
near and said:
"You walk across, and I'll see what
1 can do about getting you through
free"
The little company walked along
together until they reached the pen-
sioner's box, when the man went UP
to the toll-collector, and, taking out
a handful of coins, began counting the
students in somewhat loud tone OF
voice.
"There are nine," he said, after
counting very deliberately.
81 beg your pardon" replied the
pensioner, "there are TO-"
mo, no, my friend, I'm sure there
are nine," persisted the other
Then he proceeded to count them
again, even more slowly than before
BY the time lie had finished the stu
dents had reached the other end OF
the bridge, and were disappearing
from view. Then the man said to the
collector:
Certainly, you are right There
are 10. But I don't know them, Sc
what does it matter to me?'
He then laid his coin and sauntered
across, calmly whistling the MAR
seillaise."

It is believed in France that the
American peanut is richer in oil than
