Rarely, if ever, has there been
more spectacular finish than the Re

against time by the Reliance, instead
of struggle for the mastery between
two well matched craft.
Jockeying Favors the Reliance.
When the yachts reached the light
ship a gentle southeast wind of five
knots, that barely wrinkled the surface
of the sea, gave but faint promise
that it was to be the final day, but a
shit of the wind to the south shortly
afternoon revived the despairing hopes
Of the yachtmen. The duel between
the shippers began at the sound OF
the preparatory gun and continued
through a series of brilliant mareuyers.

GRASS HOUSES OF wIcHITAs.
Ingenious indian Architecture That
Has Become a Lost Art.

The finest house ever designed by
a redskin is the grass house of the
Wichitas, tribe that at present lives
in southern Oklahoma. They are the
only tribe that ever accomplished sue
cessfully the erection of a grass struc-
ture. Soon they are to abandon these
huts and take up their humdrum res
ervation life In two-room frame shacks
which are being built for them by the
government. The grass house, it is
claimed, is far from being healthful,
but 1t is certainly comfortable.
There are but about fifty old men Of
the tribe alive to-day who understand
the art of building one of these houses
SO that II will stand. And these refuse
to work, even for generous wages. The
government has offered these grass
house builders lucrative employment
to construct some houses that may be
preserved as models OF an ancient art.
But they refuse, and the grass huts
that used to dot the prairies of the
Wichita reservation are now being
torn down. The Wichitas are deter
mined that their huts shall not sur
vive them.
Appearances are often deceiving.
One can look upon grass house and
imagine 1t an easy thing to build. But
no so. II Is indeed most intricate. The
grass is gathered in the spring, when
it is yet fresh. The sod cutting usual
ly takes place Immediately after q
rain, the sod being removed to a
thickness Of about eight inches. Buff
falo grass sod is the only kind that
will answer the purpose of the build
er. He begins to lay the foundations
as does the stone mason, digging away
the earth to a depth Of about one foot.
The grass portion of the chunks of sod
Is laid to the outside, and the house is
built to a height Of from IL to Is feet
in the form of a pointed dome. There
is no hole in the top for the smoke to
pass through, the latter being carried
away through a pipe on the outside Of
the hut. The door Is usually in the
south, and there are no windows.
Through each tuft of sod is run will
low reed string, and these strings are
bound clear around the structure. The
grass remains green and will grow If
there is plenty OF rain. 1t is not at all
uncommon to see the sides of these
grass houses turn green as spring ap-
proaches, just as do the pastures near
them. The houses are warm in winter
and cool in summer. They never leak.
Often the Indians have barns made Of
the same material. But in these days
the redskins are made to live in frame
shacks, and the once famous grass
house will soon be but a recollection.

Soap in SHAVING.

Soap in shaving" said chemist,
"has two uses that many persons are
not aware of. The first use is its
effect on the beard. II does not soft
en- the beard, as most of us are at first
inclined to think; it stiffens it an
makes 1t brittle. You know soap
effect ON your hair, how It dries
and takes the oil out of it? You cd
see readily, then, its effect on the
beard. 1t makes each hair stand up,
stiff and brittle, so as to offer a good
resistance to the razor. or the razor
is a saw in reality, tiny saw; and it
will cut through thing that is hard
and stiff. but anything soft it will
pass over.
The other use of soap in shaving is
as an antiseptic. Shaving, as we in
America conduct it, looks like a pret-
ty perilous business. 1t seems to offer
to the germs of many diseases a
chance to get their work in. I, for
instance, have some disease or other
in my blood. My barber cuts me-,
Blood gets on his razor. The blade
isn't sterilized. and germs from myI
veins pass into your system when the
barber cuts you. You, then, contract
my disease.
THAT, say, is the evil that shaw
ing seems to cause, but as a matter
Of fact it does nothing of the kind.
It's on account of the soap that the
process is practically harmless. The
lather that shaving soap and hot water
make is an antiseptic solution, quite
as good as solutions used in hospitals
during operations. His lather kills
the bacillus of typhoid and Of the va
rious skin and blood ailments. IL

The opening advance was much
helped by the more cheerful tone in
London. The completion of the stock
market settlement there, without en-
barraSSment, afforded great relief and
led to a sharp rebound in British con-
soils. There seemed to be a good de-
mand also for American securities over
there. 1t Was suggested that Americans
who desired to go long of the market
might ave preferred to do so in Lon
don. as the closing up Of the contract
