To remove the marks made by

To clean greasy dishes and pots and

Do those who use ammonia on their

Oldest Type of Living Animals.

The tuatara, the curious lizard of
New Zealand Islands, is supposed to
represent the oldest living type of ami
mails in the world, and is of further in
terest rs being the first vertebrate in
which was discovered survival of an
eye of invertebrate kind in addition to
the ordinary seeing organs. The third
eye has more recently been found by
its original discoverer, DR.. Dendy, in
another New Zealand creature. This
is the New Zealand lamprey, favorite
food of the Maoris, and the third eye,
covered with thin skin and probably
of no present use for seeing, is exactly
on top of the head. DR.. Dendy be-
lieves that far back in the earth's his
tory this eye was one of pair of use
full ones, both the lamprey and the
tuatara having then two eyes on the
back of the head. In the tuatara it
is the left eye that still remains, but
in the lamprey it is the right one.

CASH IN ADVANCE.
Country Weeklies Are as Much Entitled
to 1t as Magazines.


A curious thing that comes very
forcibly to our notice is the fact that
people never question the requirements
of publishers of most magazines or
newspapers that subscriptions must be
paid in advance, while with the local
or country paper the great majority
seldom pay in advance. And yet, the
country or local. paper is far more in
need Of the money than are the great
dailies and magazines. The latter have
capital back Of them, while the country
paper usually has to struggle to get
enough to carry on its business. We
wonder If there are any of our sub
scribers to whom it would make any
particular difference if they paid their
subscription in advance. 1t would only
be a small amount to each subscriber,
but to the publisher it means the loss
of the use Of the total subscriptions of
all subscribers and much time in col
lecting. In the case of the Independ
ent 1t amounts to many hundred dol
lars. Dear readers, would it not be
good idea for each Of you who are in
the habit of waiting a year or more
before paying for your paper to put
in practice the golden rule, so often
quoted but seldom practiced, Of doing
as you would be done by, and send in
your years subscription? We think,
and the testimony of many is, that we
are furnishing you an excellent paper.
There is no other country paper that
excels the Independent. Do you not
think you ought to treat us as well as
you do the publishers of the maga,
zines? We are offering you extraordi-
nary inducements in our special club
bing rates for you to pay up, but il
you do not want any of the publica.
tions We hope you will kindly consider
the justice of our statement and remit
your subscription for one year.-Ham-

THE MAKING OF WOMAN.

Tv-ashtri, the god Vulcan of the Hin
doc mythology, created the world. But
on his commencing to make woman
he discovered that with man he had
, exhausted all his creative materials,
and that not one solid element had
been left This, Of course, greatly per-
picked Twashtli, and caused him to
fall in a profound meditation. When
he arose from it he proceeded as fol

He took
The roundness of the moon.
The undulating curves Of the serpent,
The graceful twist of the creeping
plant,
The light shivering Of the grass
blade and the slenderness of the WI
Vow,
The velvety softness of the flowers,
The lightness Of the feather,
The gentle gaze Of the doe,
The frolicsomeness Of the dancing
sunbeam,
The tears Of the cloud,
The Inconsistency of the wind,
The timidness of the hare,
The vanity of the peacock,
The hardness Of the diamond,
The sweetness Of honey,
The cruelty of the tiger,
The boldness of the lion,
The glance of the sun,
The heat of the fire,
The chill of the snow,
The caclxling of the parrot,
The cooling of the turtle dove.
All these he mixed together and
formed woman.
Then he presented her to the man.

This the great creators of feminine

The voluminous innovation is partic-

Chiffons and mousseline de sole were
never successful while scantiness was
the vogue, and in soft fabrics the full

of Men Accused of the Yea

Kokomo, Ind, May 1S.-The precise
spot of the Yeager murder was found
Friday evening, and shifts the scene
of the tragedy six miles south of Hem
lock, on County Line road. A pool of
dried blood and some fragments of
glass were found at the roadside.
Frank Burns, Oscar and Evans Picker
ing and Fred johnson, who live near
where the blood was found, testified
that they saw Yeager at one o'clock.
He passed their homes with strange
woman in the buggy and another bug
gy containing a man and woman fol-
lowed. After the buggies had gone a.
few rods pistol shot was heard. Near
this point an hour later Fred Johnson
passed the Yeager buggy, in which
Yeager sat alone dead, though witness
did not know he saw d corpse. Yeager's
feet were wedged under the, foot rests
and his head was between the buggy
bows to keep the body from falling.
The officers are at the scene and more
arrests may be made. They have a
warm clew. The testimony at the in
