pincers we drew forth the foreign bodies
Illustrated in the present photograph.
First. we obtained two coffee spoons, then
six more spoons varying from five to five
and one-half inches in length The last
spoons taken out were the smallest and
were corroded by the acids of the stomach.
This, however, was not the end, for, taking
a longer pincer-the stomach being very
large-we found the back of an ordinary
fork with three prongs, the handle
of the same fork broken, another fork

HOW ANIMALS RATHE

So much has been said about the bath,
pro and con-that is, about mans bath
that it may be of interest to find out
how other ANIMALS manage this affair.
One has only to see a cat making her
toilet with her paw soaked with saliva
a fly conscientiously washing his hands
on the window pane, an elephant giving
himself hygienic shower baths, monkey
looking for his heas. to realize that the
sentiment of cleanliness is very widespread
among animals. The sentiment. however,
is not universal. Some animals show
marked evidences of uncleanliness and
evidently prefer to have their skin cover
ed with dirt. For certain of them It may
be said that they have a reason for vio-
lating the most elementary laws Of cleanli-
ness.
The chicken digs hole in the powdery
earth of the farmyard, and lying on it's
side, its feathers sticking up straight,
throws uD with its claws and its beak
clouds of dust which penetrate through
the feathers to the skin. Then the chicken
runs about with outstretched wings shak-
ing the dust off.
The frog fish covers himself with mud
and sea weed in order to swim unpreceiv-
ed over the bottom of the sea. Thanks

The organs of man are extremely sensi-

which a remarkable tolerance is shown bv

child five years of age who was presented

PRICES ARE RAISED

NEW YORK, Jan. l3.-Persons who
buy eyeglasses and spectacles this year will
pay great deal more for them than they
would have done had they bought them in
1903. Two big advances have been made
in all lines of optical goods within the
last two months by concerns which con-
troll the entire manufacture of such goods
in the United States.
1t is the first time in 20 years that man
ufacturers have increased the wholesale
price on these articles. The advance,
which was made this week, amounts to
from to 100 per cent on all lines of opti-
cal goods, and is in pursuance of a notice
sent last fall to wholesalers and jobbers
all over the country.

DUNBAR OUSTED

SEATTLE Jan. 13.-Horaoe Dunbar
was forcibly dispossessed yesterday Of the
Rainier-Gra hotel by United States Dep

under a writ of restitution issued by
Judge Hanford. The property was deliv-

plaintiffs, who gave bonds for $4,000.
Dunbar's lease expired December 81, 1903,
but he claimed possession under an al
legged verbal agreement with Mrs. Noyes,
owner of the building. The matter will

to the ribbonlike appendages with which
his nose is provided, he attracts the little
fish of the vicinity, who, not seeing the
hidden jaws, approach without fear and
are swallowed whole.
The donkey, when lying on his side
shows great skill in gathering up dust
with his tail and scattering it over his
stomach. 1t is there that the perspira-
ton gathers, and doubtless the donkey's
intention is to relieve himself of this.
The oxen obtain similar results by diff
ferent methods. During the summer heat
they toss into the air with their horns
heaps of dry grass, and they also pick up
the earth with their hind legs, so that
it falls on their back. They act with such
violence when doing this that they some
times become invisible in the midst of the
thick cloud which they raise.
1t is generally known that birds have
the dust habit. They are generally afraid
of water and they replace it by dust as a
cosmetic While they are setting and
compelled to remain immovable for a
long time, they are greatly troubled
parasites. Finally they feel an irrepres-
sible desire to free themselves of the
plague Instead of bathing in the nearest
pond, as other species would do, they take
a dust bath Among the dust birds are
all the chicken family.

MAHOGANY HAIR AND TENDRILs.

The woman with the auburn hair is no

colered hair, ruddy yellow hair, not one
of these in style. To be quite the rage
hair must be dark mahobany color. 1t
is feared that dyeing will be more COM
