Plan to Build New Women

with garniture to elaborate the subtle
rise and fall of the form unless the i'm
preston of a perfect figure is first con-
Veyed to the spectator through eX-
qulslte lines? The garniture should be
put on with a purpose, and that to
make a m look as if mad accord
ing to the measurements of the perfect
figure.
IF a woman'S shoulders are too mar
row, it should not be intensified by
trimming running from the neck down
toward the waist. This is for the too
broad-shouldered woman. The narrow
should have her waists trim
med across from shoulder tip to shoul1
der tip. Tucks should run crosswise in
stead of up and down; or she should
wear he deep, rounded u yoke that
fits well out to the shoulder edge with
out dropping over the arm.
I'm most of the gowns L have seen
with he new ungainly, distorting
sleeve, there We're few perfect ones.
The elbows are not where they should
be in proportion to the perfect figure.
Fol the arm with the hand on the
waist line. If it is a perfect length arm
the elbow will reach just below the
waist line, and the lower arm will be
of equal length.
When a WOman's forearm IS too

where the Woman's elbow should come.
But whether too long or too short, the
sleeve elbow should reach the proper
point. and then a woman's arm, when
hanging. will look right whether 1t Is
or not.
The Skirts.

order to meet the proper measurements
her skirts should be made on Jokes,
or should be strapped. and her coats
should always ave a ripple from the
waist line to fall just over the hips.
If her hips are too large. she should
always wear plain, close-fitting skirts
which will make her hips appear
smaller-and her coats should end at
the waist line.
The too tall woman can look small
er by having her skirts broken at the
knees by rows of trimming; If she
is short her skirts should fall perfect
ly plain.
THE shirred skirts so much in vogue
cause q Woman's lower limbs to appear
deformed, and the woman who values
a perfect figure should leave them
alone.
THE straight corset is an abomina-
ton comparable only to the straight
waistcoat. Carried TO the extreme. it
is the most ~disgraceful outrage against

Hero of Mafeking Siege
Organizing Hunt in Africa

Special to The Globe.
NEW YORK, April 1S.-One Of the
most interesting visitors we have had
in New York since the close of the
Beor war is Maj. A. Dankberg, of the
British South African police, and late
of Mafeking, South Africa.
Maj. Dankberg was the hero of one
of the most exciting episodes that oc-
CURED at the historic seige of Mafe-
king. Like many another deserving
actor in great crises Maj. Dankberg
has not been so much heard of outside
of South Africa as his achievements
warrant. He was mentioned in official
dispatches for conspicuous g~allantry,
but as what he did to gain his reputa-
ton occurred during a time when the
war correspondents We're able to get
but little information from the beleag-
ured town, it being practically cut off
from communication with the outer
world, he was largely forgotten in the
torrent of adulation which was show
cred on the principals in the great
drama when the curtain fell on the
last scene and French had relieved
Mafeking.
Even apart from his military record,
Maj. Dankberg's personality is n of
peculiar interest, he having been one
of the most noted hunters Of big game
in Africa and having long before the
war established an exceptional record.
His experiences, which will probably
be put forth in book form shortly by a
leading firm of publishers, contain
some thrilling chapters. A forecast Of
these was kindly given you corre-
spondent by the major in an interview.
As a Hunter.
AS a matter of fact it is really in
connection with his feats and capabil-
tiles as a hunter that American inter-
est in the man is aroused, because
Maj. Dankberg is making successful
efforts to interest our leading men,
such as Mr.. William Astor Chanler,
who went out to Africa as an explorer
and hunter in a great hunting eXpedi-
ton.
The majors expedition is planned on
a very ambitious scale. Seldom it
seems, have our millionaire Sportsmen
had such an opportunity of obtaining
the services of so capable an enter
prising a guide. He not only knows
the ground, but his adroitness and skill
in making use of his typographical
knowledge by locating the haunts and
following the trails of the sought for
quarry. are facts which have gained
for him the reputation he enjoys.
The majors experiences have taken
him over the greater portion of Africa.
He describes in great detail an expedi-
ton with which he was connected and
which involved the shooting of lions.
1.-The party" said the major, started
from Makindu, a station on the Ugan-
da railway about 200 miles from Nom
hasa. We marched with a caravan Of
100 porters, in a northwest direction
toward the Lukania hills, striking the

Deep Sea Fish.

Great forest Of seaweeds cover the
bottom of the ocean and reach from
the greatest depths to the surface. In
these forests there is life more diversi-
fed than in the primeval forests of the
tropics. Spiders and wormlike animals
of enormous size, i~nfusoriae, crabs. sea
%urchins, shells, -crustaceans. starfish,
turtles n millions of other living
things of all kinds find their food in
the equally varied plant life Of the
deep sea-
A curious circumstance connected
with ideep-sea fish is that none of these
has ever been brought up alive. Re
cent deep sea explorations reveal the
fact that the ocean still contains i'm
measurable treasures which await de-
velopments and utilization by human
inventiveness. The most fertile acre
Of cultivated land is a sterile. desert
compared with one acre of the surface
of the deep sea bottom.

"END JUSTIFIED THE MEANS"
How Preacher Squared Himself With
His Conscience and Kept the Fish.

Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, the
minister-author. has a country house
on the Delaware and is very fond of
the shad that run UP this broad stream
In the spring and early summer.
The. fishermen of the neighborhood
are aware of Mr.. Brady's weakness
and take pains to cater to 1t. They
never fail on the first spring casting
of the seine, to present one of their
largest shad to the clergyman.
But last spring the first cast was
made on a Sunday, and the fishermen
hesitated therefore about making Mr..
Brady their usual gift. Finally,
though. they decided to risk 1t. and
one of their number called at the
Brady residence with a fine shad.

liberty of bringing you this fish"

of the shad.

day. sir"
Mr.. Brady frowned. He half ex-
tended the shad to the fisherman, then
he half drew it back again.

away, shot him through the front of

stream. Many of us must have walk

wonder is that no one was mauled.

The First Lion.
"There was, needless to say, huge
rejoicing at this, our first lion, and the
porters were deafening with their
cheers. One of them went up to him
and bit him in revenge for his lead
countrymen. On opening him we
found his stomach absolutely gorged
with ~hartebeeste, skin, bones and flesh,
but no porter remains, not that one
would expect his after foul days. He
had a fine name and skin, measuring
nine feet from end of nose to tip of
tail. After skinning him we went on
again, the porters more noisy than
ever, and going right into the scrub.
We had not been going more han ten
minutes when crack again went Col.
Darling's $50 as another lion came on
into the open. Down it went, and,
rushing up to about thirty-fve yards,
he dispatched it with another shot
from the .450 as the beast raised itself
just behind the point of the shoulder.
IF was also fOIIn6 that both tha 70 mi
Of his jaws had been shattered. This
turned out to be the lion which had
previously been wounded. He was pre-
cisely the same size as the previous
beast. AT the second shot a lioness
jumped out and galloped along about
sixty yards away from me. 1 hit her
in the shoulder, smashing it, and put

the stomach, whereupon she crawled

ly seen another lion go into this thick
patch. I waited until the second beast
had been skinned and then Col. DaS-
ling, who had previously been on the
other side Of the stream, came over to
see how we would get the Iioness out,
as we were afraid to go out into the
reeds, which were smeared all over
with bloc. Whilst we were discussing
what to do we saw the lion I had pre-
viously seen go in stealing away about
500 yards from us. We considered this
a bit Of bad luck, as had we gone on
as we were doing with Col. Darling on
the other side of the stream we should
almost certainly hav added this to
our bag. Since the lioness refused to
be drawn out and none of us dared to
face her in the reeds it was decided
to put a light to the long dry grass
around her. 1t had not been burning
long when she commenced snarling

pecting, had a similar experience, but,
unfortunately in his case, the porter
carried off inside the tent; he
tracked the beast next morning for two
miles into some scrub, came up with
him, and shot him at twenty-five
yards. Needless to say, there was very
little left of the poor porter. We heard
ions round our camp on several occa-
sions but saw no more of them.
Hunting the Lions.
Col. Darling and Maj. Coritts, on
Aug. 8, marched twenty-five miles to
Fort Hall, where they were most kind
ly and Hospitality treated by the occu-
pants. They brought back word that
there were inc lions e the swamp
or which the camp was pitched. Two
porters had been taken out of the same
camp only four days previously by
them. The following day, Aug. s., act
ing on h advice from Fort Hall, 1t
was decided to take fifty porters and
beat out the swamp, which is about
four miles long. We started at 9 a. m.

porters. and myself on the other with
the rest of them. Through the middle

after going about a mile, the por-
tiers shouting and singing, suddenly
crack rang out Col. Darling's $50, inc
very shortly followed by the louder re-
port of the .450. On getting up level
with him we heard he had wounded a
couple of lions, of which had gone
higher up the stream, and the other
had turned sharp back into the. scrub
again. After about a quarter of an
hours careful search none of US daring
to go Tar into the thick scrub, suddenly
one of the ascari shouted out that he
could see him. This was followed i'm
mediately by growing and snarling
not four yards away, and he made a
rush over to our side Of the stream.
The ascari who saw him shot and
wounded him in the hind foot. and as
he was charging up the bank at us the

Game in Plenty.
During his part of our journey we
had killed zebra ~hartebeeste, gnI
Grants pallah and other antelope, be-
sides two huge pythons, one measur-
ing fourteen feet long, but no lion had
been seen within shot. One had been
seen at Simba, and we tried to induce
him to come near the camp by means
of a bait of gazelle. This effectually
drew a brace of them. They were not,
however, tempted to go near the deli
cious morsel. One came SO close that
the ascari on duty saw him and fired
a couple of shots, which only had the
effect of silencing his grunts and
growls for a short time. 1t was soon
renewed, and kept up till daybreak.
The two Somalis who were with us
could see their tracks all around the
camp, but it was impossible to follow
them on the turf. The plains over
which we Travelled to u next camp
at Milwane was simply alive with
game of all kinds, and it was here that
we met with our first rhino. The next
lion we saw was at Lanjoro, about ten
miles east of Fort Machakos. He was
a huge beast, about 500 yards away
from Col. Darling and, unfortunately,
he was first to scent danger, and saw
him while. they were. evidently stalk
ing the same gazelle. He Immediately
made off n nothing more was seen
of him.
Carried Away the Tent.
Before dawn we were suddenly
awakened by the porters shouting and
rushing all over the place, and I was
just in time to see a white mass dis
appear down the river bank. 1t ap-
pears a porter had left his tent when
he saw, not ten yards away, a big lion.
He rushed back within the 'borna'
shouting -Simba!' This awakened the
rest of the camp, and no sooner had he
done SO than the beast sprang upon
the tent, under which were six other
porters sleeping, and, as he tore this
out of the ground, they rushed from
beneath, and away he went, tent in
mouth, thinking, 1 have no doubt, of
the %succulent black feast therein con-
tanned. There was no more sleep for
us that night on account of the noise
and .jabbering' of the porters. We dis
covered the tent next morning torn to

camp in the direction of the Thika riv-
er. We heard later on that a we'll

Cotton Letter,
Especial to News and Observer


New York Feb 10.--There was less
business, less excitement, less advance
end more feverishness in the market
today. Manipulation in May continued,
and May was advanced to a nineteen
Point premium over July. This is en-
tirely artificial and is likely to play
havoc with the trade. People are not
apt to rush into the market at this
level, especially under these conditions.
Many want to know what all this means.
It seems to be the same as January,
repetition of that move. A crowd Of
people from New England are buying
May in unlimited quantities ana selling
July at the same time. We do not know
what the outcome will be. Manipulation
in the spring is likely to carry the price
very high. Conditions are still favorable
to the market, but some Of the best
traders are out waiting developments
Cotton that has been held for some time
was sold yesterday and today, and while
the selling has been liberal the tone is
rot affected by it in the least. There is
nothing like this market. We should
advise profit taking and would not buy
except on a sharp break. There is no
break in sight yet, and we may have
nine and a half cents for May before the
move stops. There is nothing to sell
cotton on, but it is a bad place to buy
just here. On a quick break buy cotton
