Turtle With Long Pedigree

A giant leatherback turtle was re-
,eived at the American Museum of
Natural History yesterday. 1t is said
o be the first that has been taken
long the Atlantic coast in fifteen
rears, as we'll as the largest ever
brought to shore in this country.
This one weighs 716 pounds. 1t
was caught off Block island and was
presented to the museum by G. NJ.
Long & Co. of New London. 1t was
alive when brought in from the sea,
but died shortly after being landed.
A wound from a harpoon shows just
owe the left shoulder.
Upon it's arrival at the museum it
was taken to the basement, where
the museum artist made a sketch Of
it for the official records. Experts in
,reptilian ~genealogy say that the leath-
erback family is a most ancient one,
and that if Adam had ever gone down
to the seashOre he might have seen
one of them. The family can boast
of an older line even than that of the
serpent that tempted Eve. The eX-
perts say that the leatherback is the
oldest reptile family in the world.

Chinese Doctors Have Skill

The method Of treating SICK per-
sons adopted by Chinese doctors in
some cities Is similar to that Of the
other physicians Of the United States
and those of Great Britain. They de-
pend much, however. on the examina-
ton of the pulse. Their sense Of
touch Is so wonderfully developed that
it is said they can determine the con-
ditton of the heart as well as some Of
the other organs merely by the fee
bleness or strength of thebeats; but
they say there are no less than twelve
different movements of the arteries
In the human body, all of which can
be detected by feeling the fingers,
wrist and arm.
When a patient calls on him for ex-
animation the doctor first presses the
arm, wrist an. fingers, touching near
~ every part. Sometimes ten or if-
teen minutes is occupied with this ex-
animation. Then he may ask if the
patient is married or single, and also
his age; but this is about the limit of
the examination. Apparently he can
tell the nature of the disease without
questioning further, and if the caller
wishes a prescription he writes one
N the ordinary Chinese characters on
l generous-sized square Of paper.
Ringing a bell, he hands the pre-
scription to the Chinese attendant
who enters, for each physician has his
WI shop, filled with the ingredients

How to Wash Ribbons.

The washing of ribbons is not al
ways attended by the best results. The
following is a milliner's method and
most successful: Put the ribbon into
a basin of warm water, rub on some
good white soap and wash as you
would anything else. While still wet
iron on the right side with a not iron
and when dry rub between the hands
as if washing it until all the stiffness
is out, then iron again to remove the
wrinkles. When ribbons are washed
in this way it is difficult to tell them
from new
Nearly every woman knows from
experience how difficult it is to wash
successfully a crocheted shawl and
have it look fluffy and in prime condi-
ton when dry. One woman made a
triumphantly successful experiment.
She put the shawl into a pillow case,
tied a string around the top, and then
washed it in plenty of soap and hot
water.

Decoration for Blouses.

For our blouses to be seen at their
best it behOoves us to provide them
with fresh and attractive neckwear,
since on neckwear to a large extent
depends their success Beginning
with neckwear for the simple shirt
waist or shirt, as the English term
it, there is a new turnover collar, some
three inches deep, of canvas linen,
embroidered with a spot. Beneath
this is passed a band of chameleon
ribbon OF plain glace silk, fastened
with a r]osettelike knot in front, high
up against the collar, and the ends,
which are plated, are knotted a few
inches below the neck, and end in fan
like flutes.
Rainbow ribbons are used for a sim
liar purpose; the knot and ends are
formed of two soft ribbons in different
eolors. A hem-stitched border to the
collar sometimes introduced shows
eIimpses of the band of ribbons pass
ing beneath; and. again, these en-
b~roidered canvas collars are in vari
ous instances pierced with wide but
t.nholes in front, and tied with the
ribbons. which, as before, are arranged
10 the fashion of rosettes.

Richard N. Hall, who has given
eight years to the study of ancient
monuments in southern Rhodesia, says
that none of the hundreds of ruins has
been more than partially explored, ac-
cording to the San Francisco ChrOni-
Gle. Many important ruins have been
seen only by casual travellers and the
work of unearthing only a part of the
Great Zimbabwe area would be ore
than the labor of a lifetime. Still, re-
searches have made progress in the
last few years. There are in Rhodesia
no less than 800 distinct ruins and
groups of ruins. Only a few scores of
these are entitled to rank as IAN
Client" The largest part of them prob
ably does not date back to the thir-
ceenth, fourteenth and fifteenth CEN
turtles.
There is overwhelming evidence at
the Great Zimbabwe of ancient civili-
cation and arts possessed by the build
ers. of the earliest period. The Zimbab-
we temple is the finest and most intact
example of a nature worshiping shrine
known to the world. It's construction

Turmoil of the Caucasus

Mythology and history from the ear
Hest times have dealt with the eau
casus, that wild region whose people
are now giving the Gar of Russia SO
much trouble. Henry Norman writes:
The Caucasus was destined by ma
ture to be the home of myth, for in an
icent times it was the barrier beyond
which no nan could go, and therefore
the gate Of the land which man popu-
lated with the offspring of his dreams.
History tells us how Alexander the
Great conquered Georgia; how the le-
gions of Pompey, and long afterward
those of Ju~stinian, fought at the
mouth of Darrell pass.
"The history Of the people who held
the pass begins in the third century

We very frequently hear of snake
and fish stories and sometimes a pref
ty good bee story is told, says the
Huntsville (Mo.) Herald. Our friend,
Bill Hefin, hardly eve relates any
thing unless he knows what he is
talking about, and all who know him
won't question his ~veracity one mo-
ment or doubt the correctness of any
story Bill may tell if he claims he has
a personal knowledge of anything
connected with it.
Not long ago Mr.. Hefin and Squire
O'Bryan were talking about bees and
the manner of swarming and Mr..
Hnfin was reminded of the immense
swarm he once saw in Missouri. 1t
was during the time Bill was down
south fighting for his country apd
along about the last of that sanguin-
airy conflict, when Bill saw that the
southern boys had to surrender to SUI
erior numbers, that he saw the big

which he uses in treatment. Ii he has
a large practice he may employ g. Ia
tive chemist, who makes up the pre-
scription.
One of the curious features of Chi
nese medical treatment is the way in
which the physicians administer Their
remedies. Nearly all the offices of
the principal doctors have what may
be called a tea-room attachment.
This is a spacious apartment, well
lighted, frequently ornamented with
Oriental pottery ard pictures and o n
tanning small tables, each with two or
three Chairs. If the invalid does not
wish to take his medicine at home,
he is usfered into this room, and
while seated at one of the tables
drinks his prescription as he would a
cup of tea or a glass of wine. With
but few exceptions the medicine is in
liquid form anG served hot in dainty
Chinese bowls. for most of it is COM
posed of a decoction of herbs.
Each table contains a bowl of raj
sins, and when the attendant brings
in the medicine he also brings in a
| glass of tepid water. If the drink Is
bitter, as it usually is, the patient can
eat some Of the raisins to remove the
taste, while with the water he rinses
his mouth and throat. Then he is
ready to go home, returning the next
day for another examination and dose.

history get to talking about it they
refer to it as Dermochelus ~coriacia, a
name not conferred on it by Adam
aforesaid. Proof that the family is
the most ancient among reptiles is
that the spinal column has no fixed
attachment to the shell as in the case
of more modern turtles hat have evo-
luted.
The museum was very glad to get
so rare a turtle" said Prof George H.
Sherwood, one of the curators. 1T is
the most primitive Of reptiles now
with US. There was one caught in
the Indian ocean some years ago that
was larger. On land it could easily
drag six men after it. 1t wasn't much
larger than this one. This is the
third that has been caught in this
country to my knowledge in a good
many years. When we measured this
M we found that it was 6 feet over
all. that is, from snout to tip of tail.
The shell is 4 feet 10 inches long and
8 feet l inch wide. From tip Ito tip
of flippers vas Z feet"
If the skin does not wrinkle too
much the turtle will be mounted and
placed on exhibition. At any rate a
plaster cast will be made of it for ex-
hibitiOn.-New York Sun.

Foreshadows of Autumn Hues.

VI f'SNS
In color combinations there is now
a tendency 10 combinations of several
colors in the same applique, rather
than two colors and several tones OF
the same color as heretofore. Just a
touch of gold tinsel is seen on many OF
these, but only a touch, SO that the re-
suit is never garish.
Aluminium is now being used in tin
sci embroidery combined with ap-
plique trimmings in gray t~affeta, and
as aluminium does not tarnish and is
very light in weight, it is invaluable.
Flower designs still predominant in
the applique designs, taffetas and the
other soft and lustrous silks being
used.
In colors for the coming autumn
royal blue is predicted as a leader
abroad, while in this country the shade
termed inauguration blue is to be a
much-used color. Greens in myrtle,
reseda and other dark shades will be
fashionable, but browns will fall be-
hind their run of last year, while the
dark shades of plum, purple and kin
dred hues are being manufactured IN
quantities.
All these indications from manufac-
turers show which way the wind will
blow, for whatever fashion might wish
to dictate she is obliged to use the
fabrics in the market, and these are
always manufactured at least six
months ahead of their use, sometimes
a year.

continue to suffer rather than submit
to examinations which so many physi-
clans propose in order to intelligently
treat the disease and this is the rea-
son why SO many physicians fail to
cure female disease.
This is also the reason why thousands
upon thousands of women are corre-
spending with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn,
Mass. To her they can confide every
detail of their illness, and from
her great knowledge, obtained from
years of experience in treating female
ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women
more wisely than the local physician.
Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs.
T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She
writes:
II can truly say that you have saved my
life, and | cannot express my gratitude in
words. Before l wrote to you telling you
how | felt, had doctored for over two years
steady, and spent lots of money in medicines
besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I
had female trouble and would daily have faint
ing spells, backache, b~earing-down pains, and
my monthly periods were very irregular and
finally ceased. / wrote to you for your adj
vice and received a letter full of instructions
just what to do, and also commenced to take

Surplice-cut blOuses, leaving the
throat bare or worn with a transpar.
ent guimpe and collar of lace, are liked
for summer frocks, but though charm
ing they are not SO youthful as the
blouse frilled to some sort of yoke and
fastening in the back, and they should
be reserved for the older girls. Here
again we often find very heavy en-
broidery, applique or band insertion
bordering the surplice, while the rest
of the frock is trimmed lightly and
fluffy in v~alenciennes insertion and
edging. Heavy embroidery insertion
scalloped on both edges and with val
enciennes frills bordering the scallops
is liked for the surplice borders and
may be used, too, upon the sleeve and
as heading for skirt %tlounCes.

scourge of Asia, Genghis Khan, came
to Georgia and Tamara's son went
down before his v~ictory-glutted Mon
gols. Georgia became the cockpit
where the rival MOhammedaR sects
of Persia and Turkey fought out their

its own rulers, and for many a genera

She had to defeat both Turkey and

of these was the revolution led by the

the entire Caucasus against her and

swarm of bees. Bill says one day
while marching up the Mississippi
valley with his command he saw bees
swarming out of a hole in a big cliff.
The hole, he says, was about three
times the size of a hogshead and the
bees filled the entire space and had
the appearance of a black cloud COM
ing out of the hole. He did not know
how long the bees had been coming
out of the hole, but the swarm was
two miles wide, one and a half miles
thick and twenty miles long, and that
they were two hours in passing a CIV
en- point. Bill did not go into particu-
lars as to how he got the dimensions
of this great swarm of bees, o when
they settled, but he says the hole was
left in the cliff, for he saw 1t after
the bees had vacated it. This is the

points Enthusiastically to some knowl-
edge of geometry and astronomy on
the part of the builders. 1t is quite
certain that even the cruder methods
at Zimbabwe Of applying this knowl-
edge, which was common to the an
cient Semitic peoples, were imported
from the near east and did not origi-
nate in southeast Africa. The right
ascension of the sun, the heliacal ris-
ing and the meridian passages of the
stars are believed to have been noted
at Zimbabwe. These ancient builders
were also past masters in the science
of military defense, the walls showing
that the builders were military strate-
gists of the highest order. Their gold
ornaments, finely designed and en-
graved, could not have been the work
of an uncivilized people, and the hum
dreds of ancient gold mines show that
they were skilled in metallurgy and
picked out rich shoots, patches and
pockets with marvellous cleverness. 1t
is estimated that from these wide
spread mines they extracted 1915 ,000,-
900 Of gold.
