plan of French writer on hygiene to
persuade women TO adopt loose-fltilng,
and therefore healthier. garments:

TO allow the growing body to develop
without restraint in the healthy way
nature intended. "rhe very yong

why So Many Women Are Invaiids.

The insane desire Of fond parents
that their children shall shine" in
their studies and accomplishments is
one topic vigorously dealt with by Ed
ward Box in his editorial in the La
dies Home journal. Regarding the
girls side of this widespread evil he
says: "There are parents, who, not
content with the studies which their
daughters have to grapple with at
school. load them down with a few
special studies in the finer arrs. l
have in mind now several young girls
between the precarious ages of twelve
and seventeen, who, after they return
from school. have an extra dose of
painting, music or languages. But
my daughter must know something of
these things is the protest of the fond
mother. She must be able to hold her
own with other girls of her set OF
course, the girl at this tender age,
with such a mental load, soon goes to
pieces. She becomes anaemic, listless
and nervous, and then the mother
wonders why! To build her up every
thing under the sun is tried except a
lessening of mental work and the un-
natural strain upon the nervous sys-
tenn. The girl develops into what? A
bundle of nerves encased in the most
fragile frame, her physical vitality
sapped almost to the last dreg. And
In this condition she enters the mar
riage state! And yet we wonder why
there are so few women absolutely
free from organic troubles. Is it so
inexplicable?"

Liberal Use of Velvet.

OF one thing there is no doubt. Vel
vet will hold very important place
among materials In the autumn. Un-
der this general designation are to be
included all kinds of fancy velvets;
silk and cotton velvets. fancy silk
faced velvets, plain and figured vel
vets with woven and printed patterns,
velvet Pekins with silk, satin, ia
come. and grenadine grounds. Many
of these will be used to make COM
plete costumes, more especially the
plain varieties. those interviewer with
small dots, and the Pekins. But all
win serve to make the fanciful coats
and vests that promise to be SO much
worn, and for trimmings.

FIRE ALARMS FOR
YEAR JUST ENDING.

Laramie has been very fortunate in
the matter of fires during the past few
years and the efficiency of the depart
ment is again exemplified in marked
degree.
During the year there were thirty
four alarms, fourteen of which were
false. The engine was taken out thir.
ty-seven times. Two of these were for
the purpose. of testing hose and the
other at the Elks' street fair.
The most disastrous fire of the year
was the burning Of the Peabody barn
on the afternoon of Sunday, May 10,
when two horses and a lot of other
property were consumed, entailing a
loss of about $1,000. Another bad fire
dence on First street was burned and
other buildings in the neighborhood in
jured, the loss amounting to about 81
900. The Price Jacobs fire, at Third
and Custer streets, was another cost
ly blaze.
Taken as a whole, the years work of
the fire department was very credit
able. The hose companies responded
to ali the alarms with alacrity and good
will, and Chief Bower, Assistant Chief
Hamilton and the members of the diff
ferent companies deserve words of
praise and the hearty cooperation of
the people.

THE HORSE CHOPPER

Charles Gilbert, the man who is
alleged to have cut the head off from
one horse. the ribs out of another and
hacked several others with an ak
while at Lost Cabin several months
ago, was arrested on Monday by Depu,
ty Sheriff Axe of Fremont county, who
came to Casper to get Kane, the al
legged horse thief, says the Natrona
County Tribune.
It will be remembered that Gilbert
was arrested by Sheriff Kicker some
time ago. on an order from the sheriff
Of Fremont county, but was turned
loose because the prosecuting attorney
of that county refused to prosecute the
case. But after making an investiga-
ton of the case by the Fremont author,
tiles they sent word to arrest Gilbert
again. but the sheriff was not willing
to fall over the same obstacle twice,
and just kept mum on the matter and
allowed Gilbert to have his freedom
until he had some assurance that he
would be taken off his hands by the
Fremont county authorities. Gilbert
and Kane, accompanied by the deputy
sheriff, departed on Tuesday night for
Lander.
