Settler Put Out Her Hair.

a cigar lighter, a settler bottle. a
girl with q head of blonde hair, and a
drug clerk, made matters lively in an
Evanston drug store the other
day. Miss June Whitfield, a "co-
ed' in the Northwestern University,
went into Wicke's drug store on Davis
street and leaned against the cigar
case. Behind her was a gas-fame
cigar lighter. Miss Whitfield wears
long couture and this came in con
tact with the fame. William Hamil-
ton, the drug clerk, says that he does
not remember just what happened
during the next sixty seconds, but a
young man who was in the store at the
time says that Hamilton is hero.
When Miss Whitfield discovered that
her hair was on fire she gave a scream,
tore her hat from her head and started
to run for the door. Hamilton run from
behind the counter, seized her and
tried to put out the blaze with his
hands, but that was more painful than
effective. Soon most of the luxuriant
locks were ruined and the clerk saw
that something must be done to save
the girl from being severely burned.
He jumped upon the counter in front
of the soda fountain and reached for
n settler bottle. Running to the girl,
he pressed the lever and turned the
stream into the flames. The young
woman screamed and ran, but Hamil-
ton followed her and played the stream
into the locks. The blaze was soon eX-
tinguished, but the clerk kept the noz-
zle of the bottle directed at the young
Woman's head. She continued scream
ing and lodging. First the stream
would strike her in the eyes and then
in the ear. When the bottle was
drained Hamilton caught his breath
and asked Miss Whitfield if she was
badly burned.
The blonde locks, which have ex-
cited the envy of all the young women
in the Northwestern, were ruined, but
beyond this the young woman was not
hurt She lamented the loss of her
hair, however, and left the store cry

A gRlToN's IDEA OF FREEDOM.

there was to be seen. He was pleased
with everything, and he said so; but
the thing that impressed him most was
the lack of formality and the absence

He never tired talking of this and.

around and we went up past the White

Climbing the Himalayas.

In June, 1899, the authors of TIE
Himalayas." Mr. and Mrs Workman,
returned to Srinagar from Java,
where they had been on cycling
tour, and lost 10 time in getting to-
gether their outfit and engaging COO
lies for an expedition to the north
ern regions of BaltistaD. The route
followed was over the Deosal Plains
to Skardu. from thence to Shigar, and
by the Asker Nullah to ASkole, and it
speaks well for Mrs. WOrkman's
strength of nerve that she was able
to cross the rope bridge over the Bral-
du River. near Asko1e, which is stated
to be go feet long. In this expedition
they were accompanied by the we'll
known Alpine guide Matthias Hurbrig-
gen, who had travelled with Sir Mar
tin Conway when he visited and sur
veyed part of this region in 1892, and
therefore had considerable experience,
and from what the authors state re-
garding him he fully upheld his repu-
tation as a thoroughly reliable guide.
From Askole the party traversed
the Biafo Glacier as far as the Hispar
Pass and the Skoro La. In the latter
region Mrs. and DR.. Workman, under
the guidance of Zurbriggen, made the
ascents of peaks respectively $4,000
feet and 1850 feet above sea level.
On the arrival of Mrs. and DR..
Workman at Shigar they determined
to attempt the ascent of Koser Gunge.
With that object in view they trav
eled to Yuno, and established a camp
at the elevation Of $4,000 feet, from
which position the attack on the
mountain was commenced. but it was
not until several days afterWard that
the final attempt was made. The usu-
al difficulties with the coolies were
experienced, and on this occasion the
party was only accompanied by two
of them. BY noon they had reached
an elevation of 10000 feet; the cold
was intense, with a strong wind blow
ing, and Mrs. Workman was obliged
to get Zurbriggen to rub her hands
and pound her feet, to restore circula-
! ton. At this juncture one of the COO
| lies gave in and had to be unrOped and
sent back, after which they struggled
on, gaining foot by foot, until at last
the summit was reached, at an eleva-
ton of LOCO feet. The party had been
out from camp thirteen hours, and
| the climbing had been most difficult,
| certainly a most wonderful perform
| ance for lady, and one of which Mrs.
| Workman may justly feel proud. In
| this expedition she had made ascents
of 1860 feet, 1880 feet and 1000
feet, this being a world mountaineer
record for women-London Field.

Best Legs in the World.

The most life-like and serviceable
artificial legs in the world are manu-
featured in America. Enormous guam
titles of these limbs are shipped to
Europe every year.
The first great boom in the artificial
leg business was brought about by the
Civil War. Since that time railroad
and trolley car accidents have kept up
an ever-increasing demand. Another
factor has been the general use Of anti
septics. The mortality among those
who have their legs amputated is far
less than formerly, and large proper
ton of the survivors become patrons
of the wooden-Ieg factories.
The old-fashioned peg-leg Is prac-
tically thing of the past, The modern
artificial leg shows a great advance
over the old forms. Every improve
ment has been with the idea of great
er simplicity.
The main object of the manufac-
turers is to improve the fit of the legs.
The best models now cost 500. 1t
costs from So to S25 year to keep
one of these in order.
Few women wear artificial legs. On
the other hand, 1t is becoming more
common TO fit limbs TO children. Legs
are made for children sometimes be-
fore they can walk. They are fitted as
soon as the child learns to stand and
make it possible for it to develop sym
etrically.-Chicago Chronicle.

A Regular Little Hero.

The Scotsman gives the following
account of an ice accident and a gal
liant rescue that took place recently
at Wellshot Quarry, Cambuslang. In
the afternoon a group of lads We're
sliding on the ice when suddenly it
gave way, and five lads were left
struggling in the water. Their cries
drew the attention of a boy named
Thomas Martin. He pIuckily threw
off his boots and succeeded in dragging
lad after lad to the bank. One youth
still remained in the middle of the
pool, a lad named William Chalmers.
Martin managed to secure several
mufilers and crayats, which, tied to-
gether, reached the drowning youth.
But lie was unable to make use of
them. Martin. now much exhausted
again entered the water. and with
much difficulty brought the last boy
ashore. Both were much exhausted,
and Martin had to be carried home.
The brave lad is only eleven years of
age, and not too robust in health. The
quarry at the spot mentioned is said
to be fully twenty feet deep.

Verdi's tomb will be very plain

Simple inscription, Pray for the souls
of Giuseppe Verdi and Maria Strap
poni Verdi, his beloved wife," and the,
dates of their deaths. The chapel 14
which the composer of "Il Trovatore"
is buried is a small building in the
Lombard style of architecture, which
forms the central feature of the Asy-
lum for Decayed Musicians, which the
composer built at great expense at
Milan. 1t is divided into two sections;i
the upper is pretty oratory dedicated
to the Madonna and st Cecilia, in
tended for the inmates of the estab-
lishment, and having access from the
interior of the building. The lower
chapel or crypt contains only an altar,
as yet incomplete, and the collins of
Verdi and his second wife. His first
wife died very young, in 1S45, and
within less than three months of her
death both his children died.-London

Concerning Equine Nerves.

while horses are not subject to
nerves like human beings, they are
all more or less timid," remarked a
famous horse breeder to the writer.
Fear in horses is due to the fact that
they are inclined to magnify the unu-
sual into the terrible, and night and
twilight predisposes them to this nerv-
Gus condition. Understanding or in
vestigating these things, however, Of
ten removes all fear in a horses mind.
For instance, l have a pony which,
when first put into harness, could not
be induced to cross a railroad track
until one day | urged the beast to
touch one of the rails with his hOof.
Finding it secure, he willingly trusted
the other foot, and since then has
never shown any fear Of the glistening
rails. On the other hand, | once had
a mare which always jumped over the
long shadows of tree trunks in the
road and could never be induced to
test whether or not the dreadful things
were real or imaginary. Another Gu
rious illusion common among horses
is that when one has once struck his
head against the top of stable door
he can never quite get over the fear
that there is something dreadful hang
ing about that door, ready to strike
whenever he has to pass it. Perhaps
horses have to live on in this uninter-
rupted fear because they have so few
organs with which they may expert
ment. The elephants trunk and the
monkeys tail are about the only or
gans in the animal kingdom which
seem to have been created expressly
for the purpose of finding out things
that look strange or dangerous

Those who insist upon eating cheese
should take the precaution to cook 1t
thoroughly before eating. 1t is for this
reason that some people who are I'M
able to eat raw cheese find themselves
able to eat toasted cheese without diff
ficulty. Toasting the cheese does not,
however. increase its digestibility, but
rather the reverse. Its beneficial eff
feet, if any, is from the destruction of
the Yirulent microbes which are pres
ent, and which are capable of giving
rise to symptoms even more distress
ing than those of ordinary Indigestion.
The best method of dealing with cheese
is to give it to the pigs. as it is nothing
more or less than decayed milk, fit
only for a scanVenger diet.-Sanitary

When the general superintendent OF
