NAVAL SET SHEER At scHLEY.
Would Even Make Their Pet Dogs Show Their
Dislike.

I" II makes me just furious"
This declaration of anger coming
coming from strikingly beautiful
girl in red velvet hat on q streetcar
the other afternoon attracted the At.
tention of others than her companion,
to whom the exclamation was directed,
says the Washington Post.
What's the matterf" asked the
companion.
"Wby, it's the way some of those
navy people treat Admiral Schley.
Now, what do you think l saw this af.
ternoOn! I went to the home OF q
navy man, An officer who has been
conspicuously before the public for
the last Is years, and who command
ed one of the big battleships at Santi-
ago. His daughters have a pet dog.
This afternoon they called the ami.
NAL into the parlor and asked the
company if they would not like to see
q very clever trick. Everybody want.
ed to, of course, for, next TO admiring
babies, one must admire the dogs of
ones hostesses.
"Now, Toodles. said one of his
daughters, here is q great big nice
piece Of candy Admiral Schley has
sent you. And here is a tiny little
piece Admiral Sampson has sent you.
l will put them here on the chair,
and you take the one you would
rather have Then the dog did the
trick that made the hearts of tho own
ers beat with pride. He went to the
chair and ate the small piece with
great delight. and then turned away,
leaving the large piece that Admiral
Schley was supposed to have sent un-
touched. Every one said the trick
was the smartest thing they had ever
seen. Then one of the daughters
picked up the large piece OF candy,
called Toodles and told him there had
been . mistake; that Admiral Samp.
son had also sent the large piece of
candy. Whereupon the ugly little ca.
nine devoured the large piece, too.

CEDAR RAPIDS DAILY MIRAGE
Singular Illusion Visible In IN Iowa Town When
the Sun Shines.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

NssS~b~ AssSs~OSSeesA'
Every day in the year when the sun
is shining a mirage may be seen in
this city. So far as is known this is
the only place in the world where this
phenomenon Of nature can be 80 regu-
lsrly observed, although there are
many places where it takes place
under certain atmospheric conditions.
The mirage here is on one OF the prin-
cipal streets of the city and makes the
street appear as if there were a pond
Of water covering it. So natural is
this appearance that many times resi-.
dents OF the city who are not posted
~ to the mirage have turned from the
street to escape going through the
water that they thought they saw in
the distance.
Passing street cars are so plainly re-
fected in it that it il is difficult to re-
alize that there is no water there.
Professor Bates of Coe college &C.
counts for the mirage by the fact that
the avenue is slightly inclined from
the indicated point of view. A per.
son, therefore, looks down at the mi
rage 1t An angle Of about 30 degrees,
and his line of vision crossing the
downcoming rays Of light obliquely at
that point produces this singular illu-
ainn

A member of the Cabinet, to enter

as usually rents at from Sc. 600 to $l2,-

house that rents for not moro than

Carriages and horses are furnished

THE WONDERS OF RUBBER.
II Is One Of the Most Wonderful Products Of
Nature.

Isn't it curious to think that the
material which makes the bicycle
tires, carriage wheel tires, and has so
many other important uses in our
daily life, is milky substance that
comes from the middle bark of q tree?
1t is not the sap OF the tree; that lies
deeper, and if in gathering the rubber
the cut is made too deep and the sap
flows, this spoils the quality OF the
rubber and Injuries the tree. These
trees grow ia all tropical and semi
tropical countries. A very valuable
variety OF rubber.producing tree grows
abundantly in Guatemala and on
down the west slope OF the Andes as
far south as Peru. There is 90 much
rubber used, and in gathering it so
much wasted, that the Government
forbids the tapping of young trees.
As soon as the rainy season closes,
when the trees are beginning TO put
forth buds for the next seasons
growth, then the rubber gatherers
start out into the woods to gather
their crop. The milk flows most freely
from October to January.
In order to obtain the greatest pos.
slble amount vf milk from the tree it
is first tapped ~ close to the branches
as possible, the smooth, straight trunk
being ascended by the aid Of ladders
and ropes for 30 or 40 feet. Some.
times the cuts are made in spiral
form, sometimes like Y; after the
milk ceases to flow, another cut is
made lower down, until all the milk is
yielded, then that tree must rest until
tho scars are healed.
Every morning the milk is collected
end il allowed to stand for "a hours
and is then coagulated by adding the
juice Of the moon plant and pouring it
into water. There it is stirred vigor-
ously, and allowed to stand until the
rubber all rises to the top. and 10 taken
off in tough sheets. These sheets oi
pure rubber are pounded and weighted
to remove the water. Many Of the
Indians and Caribs are too lazy to
prepare the rubber in this way, but
simply pour the milk over palm leaves.
allowing it to harden in the sun
some even pour the milk over their
own legs and arms, where it quickly
coagulxtes from the natural heat
then they strip it off and it is ready
for sale.
It is rather remarkable that al.
though there are 90 many rubber pro.
ducing plants, it WAS entirely un.
known to Europeans until the com.
panions Of Columbus saw the natives
Of the West Indies playing with elias.
tic balls. Even then it was q little
more than curiosity until an Amer
ican, Charles Goodyear. invented the
method Of vulcanization in 1884,
while now-how could We get along
without rubber.

Low cut gowns are not appropriate
for . girl until she is in society, but
her party dresses should be made with
unlined guimpes of lace or chiffon,
and the sleeves may be made long or
short. The more simply . young girl
is dressed the better she looks, and
there is no greater mistake than load
ing her irocks with expensive ma.
terisls and heavy trimmings. The
same rule applies to hats ~ does to
clothes--a girls hat should always be
simple in effect. The rough beavers,
the corduroys for general wear aud the
velvet hats are best and smartest this
season. A black hat looks we'll with
everything and is a good investment.
It may be trimmed with ostrich ieath-
ers, which are quite too old in effect
for young girl.

as such should be compelled to

He did not tell the whole story
and declined to give the names Of
the men in the revolt. Then who
gave the names OF the men to be
sent broadcast.
He claimed that it would not do

people Interested. He did not
treat t he convevers OF the news to

parhled statements, and the sooner
the public gets the facts the better.
Tile taxpayers are paving Tor tile

that it was Il white man who caus-
