IT'S HARDLY WORTH WHILE.
Many Women Wreck Health and
Happiness in Vain Endeavor

said the woman, Emma only does
these things for the praise she gets.
She is wearing herself out working for
fairs, bazars, church teas, receptions,
and such things, because people tell her
how smart she is, and how cleverly she
manages. She needs rest a lot more
than she does praise. She begins to
look haggard and worn, but of course
one can't tell her that she is doing all
this for the sake Of other peoples ap-
prevail, so l suppose she will go until
she drops"
Yet this is what is happening around
US every day. We ourselves can prob
ably plead guilty. We cannot be suf-
ficient unto ourselves. We are not sat-
isied with the approval of our con-
science. We are not content to stay az
home, and so manage our financial af-
fairs that we can afford generous
contribution of money. No, that does
not always attract attention enough.
We must have people tell us how clever
and how smart we are. Does this pay

HERON FAMILY is DOOMED.
One Of the Most Beautiful Of Bird
Races Is Being Rapidly Wiped
Out by Women.

Twenty years ago the price for an
ounce of heron feathers was three OF
four dollars at most. 1t is now more
than quadrupled. Thirty-two dollars
per ounce was recently offered for fine
plumes.
The much-sought-for "aigrette" or
Osprey" of commerce is tuft worn
by the heron during very limited por-
ton of the year-that is, during the
mating season.
Unfortunately for their race, the
nerons during this time gather into
colonies. Whether this is for the sa- 2
Of mutual protection, or simply So
cial instinct, ornithologists have not
been able to decide.
The rest of the IL months they wan
der wild over large districts, when It
becomes impossible for hunters to kill
them in quantities that would pay"
However, during the colonizing peri
cd they seem to lose all feeling of fear
or nomad:sm, and the hunter is en-
abled to slaughter them wholesale.
The killing of the parent birds en-
tails the death, by starvation, Of the lit
tie ones. A nest of them is often found
surrounded by the mutilated bodies of
the adults and clamoring piteously for
food.
Few women who wear aigrettes can
be acquainted with the details of these
massacres. II so, they would select
some other form of trimming.
Dealers often try to salve over our
Qualms of conscience by explaining
that the aigrette plumes are manufac-

ATHLETIC GAMES IN SYRIA.
The Customs of the Orientals Are Un-
dergoing Gradual Trans

Oriental peoples are very averse tt
physical exercise of any kind, says
the World To-Day. Their idea of en-.
joyment is to sit under an awning anG
play Backgammon. That man shOulC
go out and run around a track in
shameless nakedness, and this with g
hope of gain, only confirms them in
the belief that all Americans are

pie of the younger teachers got few
Of the preparatory boys out for foot
races. That day. for Beirut, at least
the death blow was struck to the pic
turesque dress of the orient. You
can't run 100-yard dash with long,
baggy drawers and a silk gumbez that
fops around your ankles. Even if
you "gird up the loins," by tucking
your skirts into the sash, the effect is
more startling than speedy. So, one bv
one, the students ordered trousers
from the city tailors. At first they
were poorly cut, and viewed with sus-
picion; but to-day there are not three
men in the collegiate department who
wear the old costume, and many of
the students dress with taste and an
elegance that their professors cannot
afford to emulate.
Tennis and basketball soon won
their place in the students favor, and
now we have gymnastic apparatus and
regular graduated athletic director,
who has learned physical culture and
boy nature through long experience
in the gymnasiums of America. But
it was football that did the most to-
ward unification. The value of team
work is new idea to the eastern col
lege men. The old idea was that Of
"every man for himself" It has been
so since the time of Alcibiades and Alb
SALON.. If it had not been so;~ the his
tory of the world might have been diff
ferent It was comparatively easy to
see the Joy of winning footrace or a
tennis match; but to play an un-
theatrical part in football game,
obeying captain, and working for the
good Of the side, that was a very diff
ferent thing. We always play the
association" game, and it used to be
the ideal of every player to get the
ball and carry it down the field all
by himself, while the audience cheered:
bravo, Jurjy!" So we arranged
matches with the crews of visiting
British frigates, and from sad expe-
rience our boys learned the value of
back plays and frequent passes, and
began to see dimly the truth that good
football is played, not with the legs
or the mouth, but with the head, and
that hard teamwork is far better than
grand-stand plays. That lesson may
change the map of Asia some day.

GET "SEA-SICK" ON LAND.
People Travelling Are Sometimes At
fected by the Action on
Eye Muscles.

otis strange" said the sage of Lin
coin park, who, according to the Chi
cago Chronicle, had been looking a.
some of the animals just recovering
from their long voyage across the
Atlantic, "how little it takes to make
some folks seasick. There is reason
to believe that the action upon the eye
muscles of the rapidly changing par
allax and the quick passage of objects
that are met and left have much to do
with the production Of tired feelings
and of headaches caused by long jour-
neys, and great relief is often expe-
rienced by simply closing the eyes or
by refraining from looking out of the
windows.
Road legs have to be acquired as
much as sea legs, and in the various
forms Of locomotion; from the jolt
ing omnibus to the quick-stopping air.
braked trains, frequent opportunities
arise for estimating the varying
amounts of agility, clutching at stray
straps and compensating bodily move
ments made by the cognoscenti in the
particular class of vehicle of which
they are for the time endeavoring to
form an integral part. That all forms
of travelling are firing, is evident from
the common tendency to sleep in rail-
way carriages.
1.-The vagaries of the travelling public
are curious; some cannot ride except
facing the engine or the horses, others
cannot travel at all by railway, some
have faint feelings when going at u
high speed, others are made actually
sick, and we have known the utmost
confusion caused to some unfortunates
by the seats opposite the direction in
which the train is moving being oc-
cupied, though, curiously enough, thu
same feeling is not set up when the
passenger can have seat placed par
allel with the direction of progress"

PRESERVING MEAT BY STEAM
An Australian Method That Is Large
~ Employed on the Large
Steamships.

Excepting meats sweet and pure In a
a bit queer, doesn't it," was asked by
George L. Cameron, superintendent of a
meat-packing establishment, who coll
tinued in explanation without awaiting
an answer, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat "Yet that is method now in
vogue on the big steamers which carry
meats from this country and from Aus
tralia to Europe Meat placed in refrig-
orators, where the atmosphere is kept
continually at 36 to 40 degrees, will re-
main free but not entirely untainted for
an indefinite period.
II think Australians solved the prob
lem first. They worried over the sub
ject for a long time and adopted expe-
dent after expedient, tried experiment
after experiment, but ali without avail,
until some one thought of using steam to
volatilize the gases which caused these
annoying conditions and draw them off.
A steam pipe was placed in wooden
duct at the bottom of a refrigerator
chamber stored with meat; the gases of
this kind are low-lying and the duct led
directly to the brine tanks. This ex-
pertinent occurred at Sydney and for SO
days the refrigerator compartment was
kept closed, at the end of which time it
was opened, the meat drawn forth and
every piece thoroughly tested. It was
as fresh and pure, without the slightest
suggestion of bone odor or mold, as on
the day it was packed. The gases had
been volatilized by the steam, carried
off by the wooden duct, and the entire
noxious condition purified by the brine
tanks. With this aid to the refrigerator
process, provided care be taken that the
temperature never falls below freezing
point, save occasionally, so that the meat
will rot become frozen, meat may now
be kept for years and be perfectly fresh
when taken forth for consumption"

years, but she recognized him af Dnsa
Debonaire, sleek, idly sauntering
long, a little gasp from her attracted
his attention. Looking up he came to
a sudden stop, as did she.
"Dollie-Mrs.-Mrs. Stanhope," he
stammered, a thing he had not done
since hoy.
"Mr Masterson," she murmured
gently and their eyes met. For an in
slant they paused, then as If with a
guilty fear of herself she grasped her
child tighter by the hand and backed
away Slowly, possibly deferentially,
Masterson lifted his hat and passed
on. His face was not as before. Some
thing really disturbed him for few
brief minutes.
$50 chat was Dollie," he whispered
to himself. Where are her rosy
cheeks? What are those lines upon her
forehead? Why those lusterless eyes?
He shrugged his shoulders, forced
with evident effort cynical smile
to his lips and was apparently himself
once more.
This night again found Fred STAN
hope at the gambling table ready to
commence the play. He was flushed
and excited, but not from liquor. The
game was faro and Masterson was to
both deal and bank. No other players
were to be permitted to enter.
Have you the capital to work with
this evening, Stanhope?" asked Mas
terson, carelessly.
There is $2,OO0!" vehemently cried
Fred, as he drew large roll of bills
from his pocket and tossed them on
the table in front of him. "1t's not
going to be any baby business this
time"
The play commenced. Masterson in
differently drew the cards from the
box, only his eyes were alert.
Luck seemed to be in favor of the
player and after several deals Fred
had increased his pile by half. But
this was not to last. Slowly but surely
he commenced to lose He was back
to the $4,000, then to $500, then to
81 900, and finally to $500. The blood
was in his head, his eyes bulged from
their sockets, his voice was husky, his
hand trembled like leaf.
Zone more deal!" came recklessly
from his parched lips, as Masterson
paused to light cigarette. ''Ill play
this last $3.50 on the ace! I'll copper
the ace!" and he slapped down the few
bills that were left before him..
Deliberately and mechanically Mas
terson drew the cards from the box.
There seemed to be no aces there The

tured. This can always be accepted as
untrue. These beautiful sprays have
never yet been successfully initiated
All that are offered for sale have been
torn from the warm bodies of the
smaller white herons. Even the stiff
plumes known to milliners as Stubs
are not manufactured. They are taken
from the larger species of white her
ons.
Heron sprays are frequently sold as
"ospreys." According to the Audubon
societies this is trade name used to
conceal the fact that heron plumes are
being handled commercially.
Both "aigrettes" and stubs" are
dyed various colors, especially black -;
however, no matter what is the tint OF
the plume when offered for sale at the
milliner's, its original color when on
the back of the heron was white; the
artificial color is merely in response
to the dictates of fashion.
It is conceded that the sale OF
aigrettes from the American bird is
prohibited, but it is claimed that there
are no laws that prevent the sale of
imported goods. Granting that this
may be the case, how is the buyer to
tell whether the goods are from Ameri-
can or old world herons? The most
expert ornithologists cannot separate
the plumes after they are taken from
the birds.
The heron family, although sadly
thinned out in numbers, is distributed
over large portion of the globe. Their
food consists of small fish, aquatic IN
sects, crawfish and living things found
along the shores and Fin swamps.
Two varieties of this exquisite bird
are native to America-the snowy her.

cards were almost exhausted when an
ace came out.
But it came straight and the copper
lost.
AS though stunned, Fred rose from
the table, looked about in dazed way
and started for the door. He had
scarcely staggered outside when he felt
a hand on his shoulder.
He turned as he heard someone say,
"Stanhope, a moment please"
1t was Masterson.
Haven't you finished me? What
more do you want?" he answered fran
tically.
pardon me, be calm for a moment,
quietly insisted Masterson. II have
something for you. Here is $4,000.
Take it back to the bank the first thing
in the morning. They will not have
missed it. There is also 500 for you.

AS it was thrust into Fred's hand,
he faltered, II can't take it. Why
why-do you do this?"
Because you will make two prom

"But-but-no, so help me God, new
er again!"
"And that you will not tell Dollie
that you ever saw me since that day
we'll, you know when?" slowly contin-
ued Masterson.
"She does not know you exist. She
never shall if-if-"
"Good-night," was all Stanhope
heard as he was pushed into the dark
ness.
When the gambler returned to the
lighted rooms strange little laugh
escaped his lips, as he said to himself
"Am I the fool, or is he?"
