coIors for Compilations.

Many persons have very good idea
what colors are becoming. but Yew
people know why they are so. Light
blue is always becoming to fair people,
because 1t is the Complementary color
OF pale orange, which is the foundation
color of blond hair and fair COM
plexion.
Red, yellow and orange are suitable
for persons of dark complexion. be-
cause these eolors enrich the hue Of
black and show themselves to better
skin and hair
Green is suitable to very blond and
reddish haired people with fair skin,
because 1t imparts a rosiness to the
complexion. 1t is unfavorable for that
reason to ruddy compilations, as 1t in
creases the redness. Blue wells pre-
serve the complexion, because they
diminish the rays of the sun, but they
are unbecoming to brunettes, because
this color rejects orange and adds to
the darkness of the complexion.

Prae,icina Economy.

II one wishes to be turly economical.
a good place to begin is at the coal
bin. Oh, the coal which Is wasted in
many of our homes. simply because
those in charge do not understand the
care OF a fire! 1t is one thing to keep
a good fire with the dampers wide
open and quite another with the
dampers closed. II one is ironing,
baking. or doing anything which calls
for hot fire. why. of course, the
dampers must be so arranged as to
allow the desired heat: but 1t Is a
woeful waste Of coal to keep red-hot
fire all the time To let the fire come
UP fairly well and then close the
draughts tightly. until the heat is
needed, is the true way of economizing.
And, then, a few cinders will do won

Coyote ls HslsntlsssIy Pursued by Man
Whsrsvsr He Shows Himself.
(oufln0

There IL deal Of coyote hunting in
the west that is not attended by the
nIceties OF the club hunt. Ever since
the first pioneers pushed their way
across the great plains the coyote has
been an outlaw, looking for no mercy
at the hand OF man. His predatory
habits have made the animal the bane
Of the Tanchman. and his howl has
made him the exasperation Of the
camper and the terror Of the tender
foot. Then, too. his habit OF skulking
just without rife range has always
made him tantalIzing target for the
man with the rife.
In spite OF his unpopularity with all
classes Of men. however. the coyote
has managed to hold his own better
than any other animal In the great
west. The antelope Is swifter Of foot.
mayhap. but, not having the cunning
OF the coyote, has been lured within
rifle range until practically exterInin-
|ated in many states. The ranehman's
lust for fresh meat, the eastern tour
lists desire for antlers and elk teeth.
and the native who siays for the mar
ket have depopulated Colorado and
several other states OF their best game.
The bear. cougar and bobeat have felt
the same bIighting influence. but the
coyote still figures In the skyline OF
the average western picture. Some
times he is unwise enough to eat Of
poisoned carcasses Of cattle. but this
is seldom. Again, he falls victim to
a coyote drive" organized by ranch
men and participated in by towns
people. tenderfeet, newspaper corre-
spondents and amateur photographers.
These coyote drives" are heldannual-
ly, or oftener, in nearly all western
communities where the prairie pest

ticipated in by several hundred indi-
yiduals, win yield seomelmes as high
as twenty coyotes. and sometimes none

wind and more depends on the coyotes
