terioration of women. He attributes
this alleged fact TO the sports and ex.

women, and will not allow that any
exercise except walking is suitable for
the much discussed sex. Riding. cy-
cying, fencing. shooting, tennis. foot

labels as masculine games, and de-
clares that women cannot indulge in
them without losing their health and
womanly charm.

back and forth between the two rows

When it is desired to keep the two
rows of strings separate while both
hands are being used to tighten or
loosen the woven portion of the belt,
place between the two rows of strings
a cylindrical piece of wood, as shown.

10 choose from when one has in mind
the construction of an Indian belt.
There are head belts, leather belts,
belts made of colored strings and belts
made of twisted snake skins. No mat

general plan of construction Is the
same
1t is the material used. not the
method of weaving. which changes
the aspect of the belt.
The illustration shows what is called
a heddle frame. rectangular piece of
wood in which has been cut series of
long, narrow Sits.
A small round hole is bored through
each strip of wood between the Sits.
In the heddie there are nine open
ings and eight round holes. The width
of the belt viii depend upon the num-
Der Of openings and holes in the
heddle.
Run strong string through each
opening and hole in the heddlc.
The strings should be about one foot
longer than the intended belt.
Collect the strings together at each
end, as indicated in the illustration.
Before attempting to make an elab-
crate belt of beads or skins it will be
well to experiment with colored strings
in order 70 understand the principle of
weaving.
Lay piece of colored string between
the two rows of strings. then lift
the heddle until the strings. which run
through the holes are above those
which are in the openings.
The belt is woven merely by repeat
ing this process over and over. Care
must be exercised to keep the strings
close together so that the belt will be
a uniform width.
The strings which run through the
heddle have, as a rule, little to do with
the pattern.

The practice of resorting to arbitra.
ton as means of settling internation-
al difficulties should receive new
impetus, and the tribunal of The
Hague should gain an added dignity
from the treaty which has just been
concluded between England and
France, says the Mirror and Farmer.
These two countries, so often rivals
and not infrequently enemies, now
bind themselves to submit to The
Hague tribunal any differences of a
judicial order or such as relate to the
Interpretation of existing treaties
which may arise between them; pro-
vided that the questions at issue do
not involve vital interests or the indie
pendence or honor of either state, and
provided also that the interests of a
third power are not affected. This
beneficent agreement is rightly re-
garded as one result of the recent in
terchange of courtesles between King
Edward and President Loubet.

Four English gentlemen attempted
recently to ascend the Scafell Pillar,
one OF the most difficult and dangerous
climbs in the lake district of Cumber-
land. The four were tied to line, in
the manner of professional mountain
climbers, and when the leader slipped
and fell all were precipitated to the
bottom of chimney" or upright gull
ly, and all killed. The English notion
that mountain of 300 feet must be
safer than one of 10000 feet is thus
shown TO be scarcely more rational
than Mrs. Aleshine's comforting re-
Election that the sea was comparative
ly shallow-not more than half a mile
deep-where she and her friend, Mrs.
Lex, were floating, after the shipwreck.

TREASURY
 ROBBERY

There were no new developments yesterday in the robbery case of the treasurer's office. The board of sup ervisors appointed Homer R. Wood as treasurer, but up to late hour last night had not filed bond, neither had be presented anyone, as reported by an evening paper.
 This paper in question also stated that "Without offering Treasurer Storm an opportunity to tender his resignation, the hoard nf supervisors yesterday afternoon suspended him for a period of ten days, on the ground of a deficit in the county s funds"
 The law does not give the board of supervisors any alternative but to sus- pend the treasurer where defalcation is brought to their attention as in this case.
 EX-Treasurer Storm visited the office for a short time yesterday being his first visit there since being liberated from the vault He has practically recovered from the effect of his exper- fence on Tuesday night.

FAILURE AS
 HUMORIST

Oftentimes words spoken in jest, turn out prophetic or otherwise sug- positively practical.
 As humorist the manager of the Journal Miner has about come to the conclusion that he is not a success.
 A few years ago he met friend on the street from a neighboring town whom he had not seen for a consider able time and saluted him with {: "Hello - what are you doing here?''
 The man replied, CT have some friends in jail and 1 came over to see if 1 could help them.''
 The writer remarked purely in jest, ''Yon had better look out or they will have you in jail too.
 The words were prophetic as in less than two hours he had been arrested and placed behind the iron bars.
 On Thursday the writer was talking to one ot,the Storm bondsmen, asking for information as o--the action taken by them when in spirit of jest solely he inquired: ''what was Mcdonald doing there at the particular time that the discovery was made?"
 The bondsman seemed to appreciate
