After speaking Of vast piles Of de-
caying ~carcasses of the herons, slain
for their plnmes and the thousands of
young birds left to starve, all for the
sake Of securing the plumes for wom-
ems hats, Mr.. Scott says: :" wish
clearly to emphasize the fact that
do not blame the who use
these decorations, for men are the
responsible parties. No woman yer
wore a decoration Of any kind, much
less the feather Of a bird, for her own
pleasure, or to attract the attention
of other women. The object for which
women wear decorations Is to en-
nance their attractiveness and beauty
to men, not to themselves, or to each
other. And as long as men care tc
have women's hats decorated with
feathers and express their approval
by admiration bestowed, just SO long
will the custom endure"

Mast DURING the Civil War.

In the June Pearson's Mr.. Albert
Bigelow Paine gives an account Of
the remarkable work done by Thomas
Mast during the Civil war. His
sketches were eXaggerations Of ex
listing conditions, it is true, but sixty
three was a poor time to investigate.
Mast simply used the material that
came to his hand, and each resulting
picture brought volunteers to the
Northern cause. They also brought
scores of threatening letters 70 the
Harper Office from the Infatuated
South, and Mast might have been
burned at the stake had he been
captured during the occasional trips
he made to the front. The influence
exerted by his pictures was tremen.
dous-President Lincoln himself said
near the close of the war, Thomas
Mast was the best recruiting sergeant
the Union ever had" Mr.. Paine has
shown great tact in his handling in

subject with many of his readers.

Sixty Filipinos on the United States
cable ship Burnside did excellent
work on the rough sea- off the coast
OF Alaska last year. Twenty Of them
were detailed for laying and repair
ing cables. They were thus engaged
for three months, during which time
they experienced a great deal OF
rough weather, n voyage having
been so trying that the Burnside mar.
rowily escaped destruction. The Fill

climate and the difficult nature Of the

worthy that Lieut.-Col. Allen of the

official report: "The work was al
way cheerfully performed by them,
and In no case during the entire trip
was any sort of punishment admins

grew In ~strengtah, and with the ex-
ception of slight colds from exposure
they were in excellent health through

portunity of taking a trip on the
Purchase" and Hotel Consort.
At noon Thursday we reached Pres
colt again. Passengers had been busy
all morning packing up and getting
ready for the landing.
Shortly after leaving st. Louis a pool
had been formed, the one guessing the
nearest to the time we would reach
st. Paul to take the pot" One guess,
by Mr.. Koerner of Minneapolis, was
$40 p. M; and another, by Mr.. Shep-
hard of Kenmare, N. D., 7:15 p. m. The
dividing line between these two was
5:27 IL p. m. 1t was very evident
that we would arrive at some time
after 5 p. M, and the excitement was
intense. At South st. Paul it looked
as though Mr.. Koerner would win, but
when Dayton's Bluff was reached he
had only five minutes and it became
apparent he would lose. We landed at
5:35 and Mr.. Sheppard took the
purse.

Take Your Hotel With You" This
idea is something new in the steam
boat line, and if we can judge from the
success of, the initial trip it will GER
tainly be the most popular way OF Wis
iting the worlds fair. To explain: In
addition to the steamer Purchase,
which, by the way, is a very powerful
boat, fitted with all the necessary ap-
purtenances of a first-class river
steamer, such as dining saloon. barber
shop, news stand, etc, there is attach
ed in front OF a large barge about eco
feet long, fitted with two decks. Down
the center is a large, wide hall, leading
from which on each deck are comfort
able state rooms. On each floor are
large bath and toilet rooms. In the
front Of the boat on the upper state
room deck there is a large, commodi-
GUS observatory and lounging room.
This is the place where passengers
| while away their time IL the weather is
unfavorable. Card tables. writing
desks, lounges, etc., help to make life
enjoyable during bad weather. On
the extreme upper deck of the barge
there are benches and seats in abund-
ance where passengers can sit and en-
Joy the beautiful river scenery. On
this deck also may be found Quoits
and shuttle boards, the regulation
steamboat games.

That Dood's Kidney Pills are doing

BILE forms of Kidney Disease, such as
Bright's Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows. But it must also
be noted that they are doing a still

'I have been subject to pains in II y

Students Broke Them Up.

There are very few things that es-
cape the notice of college students
when they appear en- masse. This was
demonstrated at an uptown theater the
other evening when a stirring melo-
drama was being enacted, says the
Philadelphia Record. A group Of ten
students occupied the front row of the
balcony. Just below them sat party
Of young women. 1t was when the
beautiful heroine was about to be
thrust out on the mercy of pitiless
world that tragedy was turned into
comedy. True to feminine emotional
nature, the feelings Of the group of
women aforesaid were so wrought up
that tears began to flow. There was
hasty struggle for handkerchiefs,
deep dive into pockets and bags and
then a pause. Only one of the six
girls had had the foresight to provide
herself with a handkerchief.
With a sympathetic glance Of COM
Irehension she wiped the tears from
her own eyes and then passed the bit
of linen along. One by one the weep
ing maidens dabbed their eyes with the
handkerchief and then it was SNUG
gled back to the owner and the game
of progressive handkerchief was begun
again. The students saw all this, and
one of them took a handkerchief from
his pocket to wipe away imaginary
tears and passed it along the line. Loud
':sobs" drew attention to them. In
moment the house was convulsed with
gerial interference that the by-play
was stopped and the six maidens with
the one handkerchief were spared fur
ther modification.

The prettiest Christmas tale Of all is
that Of the blessed Hermann Joseph, the
little cEockmaker of Germany. He was
a very poor had, who loved to go to
church better than anything else in the
world. One Christmas eve he entered
the cathedral with little gift for the
Christ Child. 1t was all he had-a rosy
apple which someone had given him. He
went up to the image of Mary and the
Child, and held out the apple to the lit
tie one, placing it at last in the hubby
hand. Instantly the little marble fingers
closed upon the apple and the child
smiled with pleasure upon the poor boy 3
gift. Which goes to show that the trib-
ute Of the wise men Is not the only ac-
ceptable offering to Christmas love.-Ab-
bic Farwell Brown In Lippinco&t's.
