CH1LDREN's QUESTIONS.
Why Parents Should EndeavOF to
Answer Them Instead of Snub-
hing the Inquirers.

; Little folks are wont to ask the most
terribly embarrassing questions at
times, and the more intelligent the
children are the more they will want
to know, for the active little brain of
a clever child is always asking the why
and wherefore OF everything. In deal
ing with children's questions be careful
to discriminate between those which
are asked from the desire to know and
those which are the outcome merely of
q childish love of talking. The latter
are often best dealt with by saying,
quite gently: eff you think little,
dear, you will be able to answer that
for yourself" To questions of the for
mer class reply if possible, as carefully
as YOU would to an adult questioner.
If the matter be beyond the child's
comprehension or unsuitable for ex-
PLANTATION to one Of tender years don't
make any foolish or evasive answer.
Say simply: 81 cannot explain that to
YOU now, for you are not old enough to
understand it. By and by, when you
are older, if you come and ask me
again, then I will do my best to tell you
what YOU want to know" IF parents
would speak thus to their children, in
stead of snubbing, or laughing at their
questions, they would keep their con-
fidence, and by and by would be re-
ferred to for information which boys
and girls are sure to want and which
is best learned from fathers or
mothers ips.-Chicago Daily News.

A great boom has sprung up in Bone
steel, to which point the Northwest
ern Line is building. Last fall there
were fifty settlers there To-day there
is town of 800. Ninety days from now
there will be 5000. Five real estate
offices have opened, and town lots
are selling at from $500 to $500 each.
The Reservation will probably be
opened by lottery plan, such as wac
made use of in Oklahoma. Fifty thou
sand people are expected to take part
in the drawing for the land.
To enter a homestead OF 16O acres
one must be the head of family or
have attained the age of twenty-o,le
years; citizen Of the United States
or one who has filed his declaration 70
become such. To establish title to
the land, residence must be maintained
thereon, improving and cultivating the
land continuously for five years.
With the completion Of the North
Western Line from Verdigre to the
Reservat ton boundary at Bonesteel,
there will, without doubt, be a tremen-
dous influx of homesteaders as soonas
the Presidents proclamation sets
date for the opening. Interest in the
matter in Nebraska is int tense.

CURE FOR THE BLUES.
uine Interest In Life Are Free
from Chronic Depression.

Is there any one of the human fam
lily who does not suffer occasionally
from that 'loathed melancholy" called
"the blues?" If such a person exists
he is as rare as the great aux, and he
never, never eats late suppers or looks
a thought too often on ''the cup that
cheers
From whatever cause the blue devils
take possession of us; whether from
arrangements of the liver or nervous
system, or from simple ennui, the cure
for them is the same, unless, indeed.
they are bred by organic disease which
has taken vital hold on the system.
And this cure-an absorbing inter-
est or occupation. People who ride
their hobbies in season and out of
season very rarely have the blues. En-
thusiastic collectors are apt to be ag-
gressively cheerful. If you suffer
from depression of spirits, then take
the advice of authorities on the SUBJ
ject and look about for an interest in
life.
Ursula Chesterfield, in one of her
books, handles the blue devils without
gloves. She frankly informs the VIC
tins that what is the matter with
them is not that they are "too fine for
earth's coarser uses" and that their
delicate natures suffer from contact
with the rude, boisterous world, but
that they are abominably selfish, too
abs orbed in their own sensations to
heed the fact that they are enveloping
themselves in an atmosphere of gloom
which must necessarily depress all
about them. Her prescription is to
smile, smile; smile in season and out
of season; smile whether you feel like
it or not, and gradually the mental
state will adapt itself to the bodily ex-
preston.
A charming young woman was heard
to say the other day: II am too much
in love ever to have the blues" "Too
much in love?" echoed her astonished
auditors, surprised at this frank rave
lation. EYES," she replied, pro-ok-
ingly, "too much in love with myself,
I regard myself as mirror, don't you
see, put on earth to reflect all the icy
and. gladness of the universe; and &c
I cannot think of letting myself be-
come obscured and dimmed by such
ugly clouds as the blues. All, never!
I am too vain."-St. Louis Republic.

lHALF MILLION ACRES OF RICH LANDS
TO Be THROWN OPEN.
FINEST GRAZING AND FARMING LANDS.
DIRECT RAILROAD NOW BUILDING,

The new extension now being built
by the Northwestern Line to Bone
steel, S. D., brings to mind the treaty
recently made with the chiefs of the
warlike Sioux by which part of the
famous Rosebud Reservation is to be
turned over to the government and
one more of the few choice tracts Of
public lands now remaining, be thus
opened to settlement.
The land in question lies between the
Missouri and Niobrara rivers and is
we'll watered and fertile. Farm lands
near the Reservation are selling at
from $2O-to $35 an acre, grazing lands
at from Sc to SIS.
The country is level or slightly roll
ing, consisting of black loan with clay
subsoil, making the very best of farm
ing land. It seems to suffer exception
ally little from drought.

SELECTION OF COLORS.
Tints for Blondes and Brunettes
Should Be Chosen with More
Than Ordinary Care.

The reason why certain cofors, how
ever beautiful in themselves, will not
suit us all are various; nor do all
shades of a color produce identical ef-
fects. It is an error to suppose, for
instance, that yellow is necessarily un.
favora BILE to blondes in all it's shades.
It is the orange tint, deep or slight,
that is specially the brunette's tint;
and only for her with clear complex
ion. Orange, like red, contrasts with
the dark hair and skin, and becoming
ly depens their effect. For the blonde
the delicate yellow of ripe corn is ex.
actly identifying, making the fair
skin whit er by contrast. Green, again,
in moss and eau-de-Nil tints, most be-
coming to blondes, has some tones
that arsvery favorable to brunettes-
the emerald greens, not too bright
while the moss greens can be worn by
either blonde or brunette, though
most suited to the fair girl; and the
lighter shades of green are not becom-
ing to ruddy compilations OF either the
fair or dark type of skin. If you look
hard at green for a few minutes you
will find that the eye has red color in
it, as it were, which is reflected on all
else that the gaze falls upon for a time.
In the glances that are given at cos
tune while worn, this same effect il
but slightly produced, and thus rosy
tone is diffused on the skin. Bright
green, therefore, is becoming to the
pale but clear skin, but not to the high
or muddled complexion. Violet is only
becoming near the face if the skin be
quite free from yellow tints of its own,
as few brunettes (and, sooth to say,
not many blondes::ss can claim 70 30

Number That Are Always in q State
of Eruption Afford Grand
SpecfaCles.

Kamchatka has many volcanoes, the
only ones in Russian territory that are
still active. They arc unusually i'm
pressive. Their SUBMITS are always
smoking and often glow with molten
lava, though they are clad in eternal
snow and are covered with glaciers.
The volcanic eruptions are very grand,
but being witnessed only by a few ma
tives or Russian officials they awaken
but little attention in the west. About
40 of the mountains are of volcanic or
igin, but of these not more than IL are
still active, states the New York Sun.
One of these remarkable eruptions
occurred last fall at the Avacha VOL
cano, s,21O feet high, on the southeast
coast of Kamchatka. The eruptions
were accompanied by subterranean
rumblings that we're audible for 60
miles. These phenomena were often
attended by violent earthquakes which
sometimes raise the waves to a great
height, flooding the coast and sweep
ing away the tents of the natives. This
was the case in the recent eruption.
The accounts that have been sent
to St. Petersburg of this eruption say
that more magnificent and awful
spectacle was probably never present.
ed. Lava flowed in deep streams down
the sides of the mountains. The
streams looked like wide, molten riv-
ers. From assures in the earth nox-
ious gases escaped, destroying animal
and vegetable life near the mountain.
Even fish were killed by thousands in
the neighboring streams.
The volcanic eruptions in Kahchatka
probably surpass those of any other
part of the world in violence and dura-
ton. An eruption mentioned by
Krasheninnikov lasted four years,
from 1927 to 1871, and that of 1897,
which was far more violent, discharged
vast lava streams, melting the glaciers
and sweeping the glaciers and sweep
ing avalanches Of ice and water into
the surrounding valleys.
