How Hindoo women Dress.

There has been no change in Indian
women's dress for 1000 years. All wear
the sari, single piece of stuff yard
and quarter wide, ten, twenty, thirty
yards long. 1t is arranged on the body
and forms skirt, garment and veil.
First pleated with the hand in accor-
dion folds in front, wound round and
round, and the richest end If embroid-
cred or woven with gold finally brought
over the head. 1t may be of simple
cotton cloth: of silk, plain in design or
woven with golden threads; solid with
embroidery, strung with pearls or of
Kincob, the royal cloth of gold. Some
cost thousands Of rupees. No pin, hook,
button or string. The garment is
formed on the architecture of the
body and takes its expression and no.
bility from its perfect harmony with
the lines of the human form. And In
dian women, whether Of high or low
class, have jewels everywhere-have
sleeping gems and day gems, as we
have day and night shirts.-Every-
body'S.

Professional Puzzle Solver.

The expert solver Of newspaper puz-
zles has turned up in London. 1t hap
pened in this way: Some people who
thought they were not getting all that
was coming to them in the matter Of
prizes made secret Investigation, and
discovered that all of the prizes for the
solution of a certain puzzle went to a
single address. Complaint being made
to the publishers, they looked into the
matter and found that one family,
composed of several members, was
justly entitled to the prizes, and that,
in fact, this family was in the puzzle
solving business, earning as much as
$1,000 a week in various public prize
competitions. Not sufficient brilliancy
in the solution of puzzles has yet been
discovered in this country to warrant
the suspicion of experts; but they will
doubtless arise, and sharp lookout
should be kept. When we have experts
in the puzzle and conundrum business
we ordinary mortals might as well get
off the earth.-New York Globe.

The following are declared to be
lawful lotteries: Estimating weight of
a cake OF soap; guessing at the num-
Der of beans in a jar; predicting num-
ber of births in a locality in a given
time: inducing the purchase of certain
articles by giving purchasers quantity
Of some other article.
Illegal lotteries: Policy; missing

Girls nescrintion of Men

The Fort Cobb Record tells this story
Of young girls composition on Men" 4"
which shows that the seed of the wo-
mems club is sown on the Territorial
prairies: Men are what women mar
ry. They drink and smoke and swear
and have ever so many pockets, but
they won't go to church. Perhaps If
they wore bonnets they would. They
are more logical than women and al
ways more geological. Both men and
women have sprung from monkeys, but
the women certainly sprung farther
than the men,"

Nose Is Test of Beauty.

In Japan the nose is the only feature
which attracts attention. The nose de-
termines the beauty or ugliness of the
face, according as 1t is big or small.
This is probably due to the fact that
difference in noses constitutes about
the only distinction between one Japa-
nese face and another. The eyes are
invariably black, the cheek bones high
and the chin receding. In Japan a
woman who has huge proboscis is al
ways great beauty and a reigning
belle. There are a few large noses
among the natives, and lucky is he or
she upon whom nature lavishes one.
In all japanese pictures representing
the supposedly beautiful woman the
artist invariably improves on nature
by depicting this feature as abnormally
developed

President Wheeler said he did not want

pie began teaching agriculture AT the
college which he attended In Rhode

enough OF the different breeds to secure
a renewal OF his scholarShip- The

Wheeler, used to have faith IN the al

President Wheeler said education

that education belongs to only one
period Of life, or exclusively to the

he dwelt upon the growing needs Of
the college OF agriculture al Berkeley,

Has Quite Perplexing Lineage.

The Australian Government finds
itself the defendant in a suit for $4,000
on account of the most absurd of de-
cisisns. The new immigration law
declares that an immigrant must sub
nit to an educational test in his ma
tive language before he is allowed to
land. Not long ago mate on a ship
was arrested for smuggling. When
he was released he was ordered to
submit to the test or be expelled from
the country. 1t was found that his
father was German and his mother
native of Egypt. He was born in
Alexandria. 1t was decided therefore
that his native language was Greek,
since Greece is the European country
nearest to Egypt. He failed to pass
an examination and was condemned
to a further Imprisonment of six
months. Now he is suing for damages,
with fair chance of getting them.

tracks on the streams bank, and now
can you tell me when?"
Levi kneeled and studied them well.
Then glancing up to the sun, and back
to where one track just emerged from
the shadow of an outgroWing spruce
bough, he moved up to that and again
bent low.
Yesterday; m late in the afternoon
at that" he answered.
And it was fully ten miles of almost
impossible wilderness that is, by
land-to where they had encamped the
night before!
" For few moments Martin looked
at his guide, and then at those tracks
in silence.
Its beyond me- he said at last;
and the temptation to tell the doctor
all, and then return to where they had
camped and pursue this strange crea-
ture, was strong upon him.
IF it's saneShuman being" he con-
tinued, he would have made himself
known to us last night; if some half
insane old hermit or trapper, even then
think he would. Even If it was a
wild Nan, the sight of us and our fire
would also have drawn some cry or ex-
preston of human kinship from him.
But to look at us in grim silence from
out the darkness, and then steal away
like some hunted animal, was-un-
canny."

When once more the two canoes were
under way, and had assembled the
Moosehorn a few miles, the stream
seemed to lose itself in a dismal swamp
filled with dead fir trees. They stood
out above the green underground like
bleaching skeletons, with here and
there lane of black waters between
a forest Golgotha of whitened cones,
gaunt, spectral and ghostly. A crow,
perched upon one, cawed ominously,
and, as if to add an uncanny touch to
this forest graveyard, the horizon, now
opening wide, had grown hazy, and the
lowering sun red as blood. None but
a woodsman like Levi could thread
that haze of lagoons twisting and turn
ing into one another, and when they
We're crossed, and the canoes once more
entered the now lessened Moosehorn,
the overhanging spruce and fir seemed
doubly welcome. A mile up, the banks
grew holder, with now and then a
frowning cliff, moss covered, over
which the spruce roots crept down
wards, twisting and turning like arms
of gnomes. Here a scattered process
sion of foam-fecks was met, and soon
the murmur of running waters broke
the forest stiffness. Low and sweet it
tinkled like tiny bells just ahead. and

prints. Then, turning back, now that
he had found the trail, and, with hunt
er's cunning, locating dozen others,
though so family defined that only the
prints of sharp claws were visible in
the hard soil, or a bit of moss scratched
from a stone showed where the animal
had stepped. All pointed downstream
and were made as the others were-by
a creature walking upright!
Then, leaving the path and crowding
through the underground to an eddy
ing pool in the rapids, Martin made a
cast. 1t scored, and then another and
still another speckled beauty was
hooked and reeled in, and the keen
zest Of time, place and sport had, for
the moment, obliterated all other
thought, when, in stepping from one
rock to another above, he saw, wedged
between them. curious bit of drift
wood, one end of which seemed to
grin at him. 1t was that that caught
his eye, and STOPPING, he pulled it
from between the rocks and found it
to be the handle of a broken paddle.
with the knob carved into semblance
of a human skull. So realistic had this
unknown artist tried to be, that he had
inserted a row of small, catlike teeth
in the skulls mouth and dyed the eye
and nose sockets red. The sun and
rain had almost removed this, but the
teeth still held in place. 1t was a Gu
rious bit of fiotsam, evidently tossed
up and caught between the rocks dur
ing some freshet, and then left to
bleach in sun and storm. 1t had seem
fngly been so exposed for more than
one year, for 1t was almost white. 1t
did not appeal to Martin as having any
connection with the mystery he had
come upon, but merely as the long-ago
handiwork of some eccentric trapper
or hunter thus killing time. 1t was a
curio, but when he returned to the ca
noes at call to dinner, he said moth
ing, but quietly tucked it into the bow
of his canoe.
When dinner was over, the doctor,
who wanted to fish most OF the time,
returned to his pool, Jean began wash
ing the dishes, and then look and
nod from Martin to Levi were enough,
and together they walked up the path.
Our friend of last night came down
this way not long ago. asserted Mar
