Patterns From Samoa.

Manufacturers of figured linens and
cloths frequently get their ideas for
new patterns from unexpected sources.
One such manufacturer happened to
be discussing the handiwork of Sa-
moan native women with an American
woman who lived in Samoa for several
years, when she spoke of the original
designs that were worked into some of
the rugs and mats which the natives
made.
The manufacturer showed great in
terest in what she said and asked to
see a sample of this work. An excel
lent sample of Samoan cloth made
from the bark of the mulberry tree
was shown. It's design suggested that
of blankets made by the Indians in the
southwest, but it was clearly original
and very effective.
The manufacturer proposes to repro
duce it in linen. If the native woman
who made this particular piece of
cloth should by any chance ever hap
pen to see the linen reproduction of it,
she would probably be very much puz-
Zled at the honor done to her handi-
work.-New York Sun.

Brain-fOOd Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind of food is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor
rect diet will not only nourish a par
ticular part of the body, but it will
sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good the food may be, it's
nutriment is destroyed by Indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare for
their appearance or prevent their
coming by taking regular doses of
Green's August Flower, the favorite
medicine of the healthy millions. A
few doses aids digestion, stimulates
the liver to healthy action, purifes
the blood, and makes you feel buoy
ant and vigorous. You can get DR..
G G. Green's reliable remedies at

Mrs. SIosson, besides being the only
woman prison chaplain, was the first
woman to receive the degree of Ph. D.
at Cornell university, graduating well
up toward the head of class of young
men.
She was born at Ilion, n. Y, in the
early sixties, but went with her par
ents to Kansas when she was a small
girl. From the village school she went
to Hillsdale college, Michigan, where
she took the degrees Of B. S. and NJ.
S.; thence to Cornell, completing the
three years postgraduate course in two
years-all this before she had reached
the age Of twenty-one. For little
while she held the chair of Greek in a
Presbyterian college at Hastings, Neb.
Ten years ago she became the wife of
Mr.. Slosson, professor Of chemistry in
the University of Wyoming, and since
then has been q resident of Laramie.

Modern Girls Are Tidy.

The girl of today is a regular scrub
woman. When she isn't scrubbing her
face, she is laundering her gloves, clean
ing her belts or hanging out of the win
dow trying to sight the laundryman's
chariot full of shirt waists, clean and
starched. Today untidiness Is the I'M
pardonable sin. 1t is beyond forgive
ness.
There's nothing so cheap as soap and
water. There is nothing so necessary
to a good appearance and self respect
as cleanliness, commodity Of which
one cannot have too much. Besides, it
Is healthful. Many dreadful skin dis
eases come from filthy epidermis. CThe
word Is fearful, but it is expressive.)

Shall We Drop Headgear Altogether


It Is not such a huge step as it ap-
pears. Already the average woman's
hat has little or no value as a shield
from rain or shine, while the bare
headed bluecoat boy shows one most
effectively how to be happy though
hatless. Bluecoat boys are not more
subject to colds and sunstroke than
other boys, and it is interesting to learn
that they are far less liable to bald
ness. 1t is certain that hatless races Of
men do not suffer from badness.
Fashion is responsible for most femi-
nine coddlings. Fifty years ago young
women wore low necked and short
sleeved dresses. Today they muffie up
with fur necklets. Comfortable though
they may be. these muffiers infallibly
produce weak threats and tonsilitis.

In Fovor of shist Waists.

In response to requests from numer-
Gus bodies of commercial travellers, the
railroads and the Pullman company
are about to take a decided stand in
favor Of the shirt-waist for men. Last
year there were several unpleasant in
cidents, caused by the attempts of men
ITO dine in the regular dining-cars IN
! their shirt sleeves. When there were
ladies on the train the men were al
ways requested to go and don coats be-
fore attempting to dine. This year,
however, everything is to be changed.
The commercial travellers protested
against the absurdity of such formality
on the trains and the railroad officials.
on sounding public sentiment found
that it was greatly in favor of the
shirt waist for men.
As a result Of the protest from the
travelling public, orders will shortly be
issued from railroad headquarters that
men shall be allowed to dine without
a coat, provided they are CARRIED in the
conventional shirtwaist of the latest
pattern Similar instructions will be
issued to the employees of the Pullman
company, and the shirtwaist man will
reign supreme on all the summer
trains.

Washington, d. c., July 30.-The oil
and gas fields of the Western Inter
ior and of Texas arc reported upon in
bulletin issued by the Geological
Survey. The report says the produc-
tive territory is being constantly eX-
tended. as there is demand for the
gas as fuel and oil is proving a prof
table resource. The principal pro-
duetive field of the Western interior
area is in southeastern Kansas and the
northern part of the Indian Territory,
although both gas and oil in limited
quantities have been found as far
north as Kansas City and along the
western border of Missouri. The re-
port says the coal measure rocks of
Iowa thus far have not proved pro-
ductive. The small flows of gas there
are sporadic and the Expectation of
that field has been attended with un-
certainty and risk.
