Why does the maybe construct a

Garments of Reindeer Wool.

FROM tlbre ana fabrlc.
From their herds of reindeer the lap
landers in northern Europe take the woody
hair and make from it blankets, which are
remarkable for their excellent qualities OF
blankets the United States consul at Frank
fort, Germany has this to say:
"A close examination of the hair of the
reindeer furnishes an explanation of its
peculiar value. The hair does not have a
hollow space inside for its whole length. but
ly numerous cells. like water-tight COM
partments. These are filed with condensed
air, and their walls are SO elastic and at
the same time of such strong resistance
that they are not broken up. either during
the process Of manufacture or by swelling
when wet. The cells expand In water. and
ments made of reindeer wool does not sink
In water, because he is buoyed up by means
of the air contained in the hundreds or
thousands of hair cells. In the markets
and stores of Norway, Sweden and Russia
garments and blankets of reindeer wool are
to be had at lower prices than other fabrics.
In Vienna there is a factory which manu-
features garments of reindeer Wool
pecially bathing costumes. For persons un-
able to swim, the possession of such gar
ments is of great value. 1t is possible that
swim. Recently successful trials have been
made in Paris in this line. In England at
tention has been directed to this peculiar
property of reindeer wool. and it is pro-
posed to take up its manufacture and possi-
bly, to improve IT."

life nowadays we miss the sense of relative

WOMAN KILLS AN OUTLAW.
He Crosses Dead Line Only To Be
Shot Down.


AsheVille, N. c., Nov. 5.-William

been wanted for several murders and
many other crimes, has been shot and
killed at Burnsville, by Mrs. John Phil
lips, a highly respected white woman.
Mrs. Phillips says that she killed Nor
row in self-defense.
Morrow had been persistent in his
attentions to Mrs. Phillips for long
time and would take many daring
risks to see her. She threatened to
deliver him up to the law II he didn't
cease his attentions, but never carried
her threat out. Morrow, on his last
visit, threatened Mrs. Phillips. She
sent him on his way, though, after 60
ing a short distance from the house,
he turned around and started back.
Mrs. Phillips says that Morrow was
going to kill her. She ran in the
house and procured a double-barreled
shotgun. Pointing the gun at Morrow
she told him if he crossed her fence
that she would fire. Morrow faced the
woman and the gun in a contemptu-
GUS mood and proceeded to cross the
dead line.
Mrs. Phillips fired twice. Both loads
took effect
Morrow lived only a short time.

The seven Rests In disease.

Mention is made by Professor Hilton
In his lectures on "Restand Pain" of tie
seven varieties of the former obtainable
in the treatment of disease-namely,
mental rest, bodily rest, q combination of
those two, as in that most perfect state
of rest called sleep; organic rest, as evil
denced in the avoidance Of exertiOn in
cardiac disease, of talking in affections
of the respiratory tract. and in limiting,
so far as possible, the act of degluti-
tion in affections of the alimentary
tract by the substitution of enemata;
local rest, as secured by change In the
position Of body or limb, the use of
pillows, cushions, ETC.; dietetic rest, by
avoiding the too frequent use of food
and drink; lastly, medicinal rest, in
the relief of spasm by inhalations and
the not too frequent administration OF
medicine to the prejudice of nutrients
or stimulants. Professor Hilton lays
it down as a rule that by a considera
ton of the manner In which these prin-
ciples of rest may be best applied in
each special case OF disease are relief
and comfort to be brought to the suffer
er and diseased action arrested.-Lon-

Venice is not a desirable place OF
residence In summer for the ordinary
mortal. The moisture In the air, caus-
ed by the steady prevalence of the

out of mems minds as much as out of
their collars, and it is only the artistic,
the lazy and the unemployed who can
rightly enjoy the summer In Venice.
The colors in air, in sky and sea are
of nature to provide perpetual de-

hand Of the painter. while the abun-
dance and variety of the fruits to be
had will equally content his meaner ap-
petite, for fruit in Venice is beautiful
and almost oriental in its quality and
quantity But there are drawbacks
to be set against the lotus eating kind
of existence, and not the least Of these
is that of hot nights, when sleep Is al
most an unknown quantity and is
driven away by one subtle foe after
another, the mosquito being the f1erc-
est and most aggressive.

company and the fight of the French
airship will be made free from any

done because Mr.. Francis had been

his ship, being a dutialble exhibit in
bond, it could not be taken out of bond
ct the fair grounds without a bond
was filed. As its ascension at the
fair might result In its flying with
out the bounds Of the exposition site,
Mr.. Gallenkamp ruled that an ascen

that an ascension could not be permit
ted unless bond had first been fled.
