The Keowee Courier of last week states
that there is no need for guard of
county chain-gang in our neighboring
county. The last convict was liberated
the first Of the week. Pickens county's
chain gang passed through town Satur-
day morning-about 20 strong. With
their martial tread they reminded one
feebly of the victorious march of the
'"Ten Thousand Immortals." OF course
their spirits were not quite so buoyant.--

Flight of Birds.

Interesting facts as to flight Of birds have
resulted from a long series OF observations
whose general results have recently been
published.
An eagle was observed by Hergessell Of
Strasburg to fly at a height of 5000 feet.
A lark was detected at an altitude OF
1000 feet. Aeronauts have encountered
crows as high as 1900 feet from the earth.
These, however, are exceptional alti-
tudes for birds to attain. AS a rule, 1900
feet seems to be the limit.
The German archaeological society has
been conducting experiments with pigeons,
and that when liberated at a height of o.
900 feet down to as little as 400 feet they
drop rapidly to a much lower region of the
atmosphere.

That reunion was the strangest affair I

my visit to the reservation was a
profitable one, however, as 1t was easier
to get pictures there than when the Indians
we're here at the exposition. There they
wished to be taken on their horses and
with realistic western surroundings. They
appeared interested in Upshaw's plan to
write a history. and no doubt that helped
me some. On the whole l found them a
very hospitable and accommodating people.
II also found there a sister Of Hattie

wouldn't be photographed, as Il was against
the wishes Of her husband, a grouchy young

The old style, OF course, was the design

Sioux, Cheyenne and Arapahoe are strong

great trouble. perhaps, for the photographer
is that the average Indian will overdo in

thing he owns and everything he can Dor

at . or 6 o'clock, so the two principal meals
are not so far apart after all. One hint as
to these meals in the dining car: Do not
allow the attendants to hurry you. The
speed of the train and the anxiety OF the
walters to clear the tables and prepare for
other diners are likely to make one eat
with a rapidity that is fatal. especially when
combined with the rocking motion Of the
train. Ample time is allowed for serving
the meals as a rule and no one robs some
other passenger Of a place. save in the
imagination of the alert waiter.

periodicals, may be purchased as cheaply

This amusement is infinitely less trying to

more restful. And right here II may be
stated that only the provincial woman
looks upon her %neighbors aboard train as
social highwaymen. The unconventionalit
permitted aboard ship is rapidly making It's
way on the rail, and an acquaintance thu
formed may be pleasantly continued In
after years or dropped when the parties
go their ways at the final destination.

In addition to her ordinary toilet articles
let her tuck into her grip a pair of easy
slippers, a kimona OF black India or China
silk and several turnover collars or soft
stocks, to make her plain shirt waist look
trim and fresh.
Once settled on the train she will find
her house slippers invaluable, and, owing
to the vestibuled cars, she can even wear
them to ner meals in the dining car. Do
not take lunch boxes along. They invite a
feeling akin to seasickness.
The use of the kimona is obvious. The
woman who attempts to dress and undress
in her berth is now the exception. Before
retiring she selects such toilet articles as
she may need, or she carries grip and all
TO the dressing room, and there, in a
leisurely fashion, prepares herself for the
night. As white gowns soil in a single
night on the cars, many women prefer
gowns of light weight fannelette in small

silk kimona. packs what she can into her

With all the new woman's Wanted pro-
gressiveness, she has not yet mastered the
art which seems to come naturally to men
that OF travelling sensibly and com
fortably. When a man of affairs finds him
self face to face with a journey half way
across the continent he accepts ii as a gift
from the gods-a rest and respite from
the maddening rush Of his daily business
life. A woman, pleasurs-bound for the
same destination, sees in the railroad trip
only an evil to be recompensed by social
attentions at the other end Of the line.
In reality, the journey is what she makes
II. either a rest cure or a purgatory OF IN
rest and nervousness. II she looks at the
situation sensibly and drops some Of the
provincialisms which cling to her despite
rainy day skirts and clubs for the ~eultiva-
tion Of almost everything under the sun,
she will arrive at her destination younger
than when she started and in just the
right mood to appreciate the further pleas
uTes in store for her.
Taking IT for granted that a woman does
not undertake a pleasure trip until she is
able to loosen her clutch on the purse
strings, she is recommended TO study mere

does he stint, TO make himself comfortable
aboard cars. Democracy is all very we'll in

The Minnesota legislators are wrestling
with the problem of how to provide against
accidents from the use of kerosene and
Fasolene. One member has introduced a
bill providing that all kerosene or coal oil
kept or intended for sale in Minnesota must
be colored a deep red by the use OF al
kanet or similar d~yestui. The offer for
sale Of oils not conforming with the re-
q%uirements Of the bill is defined as a mis-
demeanor, punishable by a fine Of not less
than S25 nor more than 800, or in default
Of hne by imprisonment for a term of not
less than thirty nor more than ninety days.
other bills provide that all gasolene must
be kept in red painted cans.
