FUTURE OF THE PANAMA HAT.
Recent Indications Point to the Aban.
donnaent of 1t a. a summer
Headgear.

The future of the panama is a fit
subject for speculation. Each man
has his own method of curing a cold
and preserving panama, states the
Chicago Tribune. Some declare that
a careful course of kerosene followed
by the use of quart bottle of Florida
water is the only method worthy of
being followed, while others allege
that the true student of economy will
this year wind whole yards of bath
towel fringes' around the straw, and
hand over the white elephant to the
negro who attends to the furnace:
As matter of fact the indications
point to more or less of an abandon
ment of the panama by society people
during the next year or two. It is ex-
pected that "a return to the domestic
straw with the addition of bands of
quiet colors will be noted during the
late days at Newport and Lake Forest.
It may be that the panamas will be
brought out two years hence for the
first of the presidential election pa
rades, but one thing is almost certain,
which is that the linoleum imitation
at $2.e8 has done much to discourage
the wearing of the genuine article to
any extent during next season.

BEGINNING.oF OSTRICH FARMS.
Dissatisfaction Of the Grea4s Birds
SIS Wass FIRST Undertuken by CaDs 9
7 $.1s#4 Colony Farmers. Il

Fifty years ago, the Generalization
Of the ostrich was an idea secuted BY
most of the biologists who had given
time and thought to the subject The
young, it was believed, could not be
raised in a state of captivity. The he
great demand for ostrich feathers
was then met by hunting and killing
wild birds, and there were indications
that the species would soon become ex -
tinct. But in the early sixties, .
French scientist named Gosse issued q
pamphlet in which he argued that the
domesticatio of the ostrich was feas-
ible and practica BILE, and not long after
wards brood Of ostriches was reared
in the city of Algiers, says Success.
Gosse's pamphlet and news OF the ex-
pertinent in Algiers became familiar
to two farmers in Cape Colony, who
determined to undertake the domestl-
cation of ostriches in South Africa. Be-
ginning with two birds, which they
caught and placed in an inclosure, in
q twelvemonth they had brood OF
80, which marked the birth of a new
industry which has played a potential
part IN the development and commerce
of vast region. Large tracts of land
ir South Africa, which could not be
profitably used for any other purpose,
are now devoted to this business, and
feathers to the value of $4,000, 900,
from nearly 400, 900 domesticated birds,
are now annually sent abroad from
Cape Colony.

BUMBLEBEE IS VICIIMIZED.
The Common Hive Bee Cunningly
Swindlets Him Out of His Hard
Work Proceeds,

The wisdom and the extraordinary
industry of the common hive bee are
known to everybody, but it is not gen
orally known, even to men who have
made study of insects, how cunning
and revengeful they are and how by
their attentions and compliments they
manage to swindle the big black and
yellow bumblebee out of the results
of his hard day s work at honey gather
ing. His dapper little cousin is all
adept at playing on his weaknesses,
says Nature. The hive bee is a thor
ough city dweller, living in the bee
metropolis which has it's bee mechan-
les, builders and nurses, bee boards Of
health that look over the ventilation
of the city and the removal of the gar
bage-bee policemen who guard the
hive against the moth and other honey
thieves, with the bee queen to rule
over all. The clumsy, loud-buzzing
bumblebee, however, is veritable
farmer and lives with a comparatively
small family in his mud farmhouse in
the clover fields. He is such simple
as hayseed.
Several of them will meet him when
he is on his way home with load of
honey and induce him to stop and have
chat in the bee language. Then they
pat him and rub him, and the humble
bee loves to be tickled. Thus they
work upon his good nature until he &C.
tually lets them take part of his bag
of sweets-all of it sometimes. When
he has been robbed in this fashion the
smart hive bees bid him an affectionate
good-by, acting just as if they were
slapping him on the back and probably
telling him that he must come up to
town and take dinner with them some
day when he is not busy Who ever
knew a bumblebee to have a dav to
himself? Then the robbers 20 home
and lay their plumber away, while the
bumblebee sets out for his farmhouse.

NEW SPORT WITH A BULL.
Am innovation of the Arena Which
IL Not Well Received by the
- People of Spain.

Weary of ordinary bull-fghts, some
young men in Madrid recently invented
q novel sport, reports London paper.
Procuring a wild bull, they managed
to saddle and bride it in the same man
ner as a horse and then drove it out
into large arena, where popular
jockey was waiting with the intention
of trying to mount the Infatuated ami
NAL. ;~"-j ...-
The seats around the arena were
filled with spectators, and great was
the excitement as the jockey APP
preached the bull and dexterously en-
deavored to vault on its back. For
few minutes the animal foiled him
successfully. but finally the jockey got
into the saddle and then there was a
wild race around the arena. -.
Unfortunately, one Of the girths
broke justSas the bull was beginning
to grow tired and the jockey was
thrown to the ground. :..= y. a-s s5: {.

HOMICIDE IN AMERICA.
stacast1cs of Crime In This Country
Furnish Evidence of q Terrible
Tide of Murder.

Comparative statistics of murder
should teach us some lessons of ma
tional humility, because, blink it
as we may crime, and especially that
OF homicide, is a pretty accurate
measure of the attainment of civil
zation. There are about 10000 muir
ders 4 year in the United States.
Mr.. Robert Anderson, of London, has
lately astonished his readers by
stating that in the 100000 inhabi-
tants of London there are annually
on the average only about 10 MUIR
ders. In a sermon on crime a clergy
man OF one of our smaller American
cities recently stated that in his CITY
(of about 100000 inhabitants) there
were in the last five years an aver
age Of nearly 80 homicides year,
says American Medicine. Supposing,
therefore, that these people would
not become far more criminal when
massed together by millions, it fol-
lows that if the clergyman's city
were as large as London there would
be nearly 900 murders a year in it,
instead of 1s. But, worse is vet to
come: Out of the 145 murders in five
years there were only 20 convictions,
and the very worst is the fact that
not one of these convicted murder
ers suffered the death penalty!
Upon one side, surely, the retort no
longer holds that the doctors put
their bad work beneath the. ground
and the lawyers hang it up above il.

SPRIMEVAL NORTH AMERICA
Ropsllat Ion spgreadi \ =, l,svDrd as the
sS Ice Belt Reced Cd 49, nddcated8 .
~ signs 81 Progress. s asTs5

The primeval people Of both N orth
and South America originated from a
civilization Of high degree which oc-
cupied the subequatorial belt some
10000 years ago while the glacial sheet
was still on, says Harper's Magazine.
Population spread northward as the
ice receded. Routes OF. exodus diverg-
ing from the central point Of departure
are plainly marked by ruins and rec
ords. The subsequent settlements in
Mexico, Arizona, New Mexico, Colo
RADIO, Utah and Calf ornia indicate the
successive stages Of advance, as well
as the persistent struggle to maintain
the ancient civilization against re-
version and catastrophes of nature.
The varying architecture of the valleys,
cliffs and mesas is an ineligible ex-
preston of the exigencies which slim
ulated the builders. The gradual dis
tribution of population over the high
er ATTITUDES in after years was supple
mented by accretions from Europe and
northern Asia centuries before the
coming of Columbus. Wars and re-
pT1sdlS were tne natural ana inevitable
results of a mixed and degenerating
population with different dialects. The
mounds which cover the mid-conti-
mental areas, isolated and in groups,
tell the story thereof. The Corean i'm
migration of the year 544, historically
cited, which led to the founding of
the Mexican empire in 1925, was but an
incidental contribution to the growing
population of North America. So, also
were the very much earlier migrations
from Central America across the Gulf
of Mexico.

LEAP-YEAR BIRTHDAYS.
Unique Society In Berlin, Germany,
to Hold a Big Celebration
in 1904.

Herr Monteur, wealthy resident OF,
Berlin, is over 70 years old, but will
celebrate his eighteenth birthday on.
February 20, 1904. He is president of
the Berlin society of leap year chill
dren, the one organization of it's kind
in the world. The members have had
NO birthday celebration for eight
years, the extra February day having
been omitted in 1900 according to the
rules of therefor1ned calendar. There
fore the society is planning a great
celebration on February 20, 1904. A
committee of arrangements is already.
at work, and something extraordinary
may be expected, as on account of the
society's curious origin many prom
inent persons have interested them
selves in the matter, reports London
paper. :
The month of February in 1885, by
the way, was even more interesting
than that which will be marked by the
unique. Berlin celebration. It had no
full moon, and in that was TIL e most re-
markable in the worlds history. for
meyer before had such thing occurred.
January of that year had two full
moons and so had March, but Feb
ruary had none. How extra ordinary
this event was may be judged from the
fact that according to the compute
ton of astronomers it will not occur
again for 100000 years.

Clubs, Cabs and Govt.

A physician, talking to reporter Of
a New York paper, asserted recently
that govt is rapidly increasing in that
city, as a disease prevalent among the
wealthy classes, the increase being al
together out of proportion to the
growth of population. He claims that
this is largely attributable to the in
crease in clubs, fashionable. restau-.
rants, and cafes, and also. to the:gener-
al use of cabs, even when the distance
from the club to the home is only few
blocks. If people would take more ac
tive exercise in the open air, they
would run less risk from heavy meals.
He says that rich foods are more re-.
sponsible for govt than wine, although
practically the two usually go TO-
gether. =. ! !. r. :.

HER SMILE IS CRITICISED.
In Modern En@Mshwonem 1t Has

thing Meaninglews,

The smile of modern English wom-
an, according to leading London pa
per, is fast becoming meaningless
thing and the reason for this, critics
allege, is that it is used so indiscrim-
inately that it lacks feeling. There is
truth in the statement, the critics
maintain, for, when one comes to
think of it, almost any remark one
makes to the merest acquaintance,
even on first introduction, is met by
a smile. There is no mirth in it-itis
only muscular movement, made
seemingly, to show polite interest 1t
reminds one of the japanese woman,
who must always smile, even in deepest
sorrow or distress of mind, and who
must never on any account sh ow de-
pressed countenance in public, or even
in the family circle should she be ad-
dressed by a. relative to whom she owes.
respect -
The effort to initiate the vivacity Of
their American sisters is supposed to
be at the root of the continual
smile to be seen on the counte-
nances. of modern women, but smile
alone will never make countenance
pleasing, unless it expresses some
lively Interest or feeling. Too many
Sweets clog the appetite and smiles al
ways in evidence become valueless and
unmeaning. Repose is needed nowa-
days in nearly every direction and no
where more than on the faces Of
