WHAT coLoRs TO WEAR.

The color of the eyes should de.
termine the choice of the dress and
millinery.
A blonde may wear pure white with
advantage, but the brunette nearly al
ways looks better in cream-colored
fabrics. This ought to be more gen
orally recognized. Brown eyes and a
brown dress go well together.
Blue-eyed girls should wear blue as
often as possible.
The tan shades are not suitable for
slim figures, while black satin intensi,
fies round shoulders.
A small toque is exceedingly unbe,
coming above a large, round face.
Dull black is the best choice for a
fair-haired woman, while a brunette
must order something brilliantly black
il she really wishes to look her best.
Tucks and stripes running down
ward become the Juno type of woman;
but the thin, angular beauty should
have the stripes and tucks running
around her dress, and she win be sur.
prised to find how much her appear.
ance will be improved.
Although the style of the new hats
rather demand that they should be set
we'll forward, still it is we'll to remem.
Der that a hat brought too far over
the face gives a hard, bold look to the
face. 1t makes her look If she were
being extinguished under an enormous
hat covered with rich plumes when she
would look daintier and p%rettier in a
small shape.
Heliotropes are more than ever suit,
ed to those brunettes who have a clear
complexion, but the woman who is un.
fortunate enough to be sallow should
never wear or permit to be neal her
any shade of a delicate hue.

SAYS WOMAN CAME FIRST.
Queer Eskimo Tradition as to the
Origin of the Human
Family.

The arctic Eskimos have their ira
dition of the origin of man, much the
same as the Caucasian, and their tales
of the prowess in battle, their sagas
relating the past glories of what is
now almost an extinct race are as
thrilling as some of those that tell
of the wondrous deeds of Odin and
Thor or of those Grecian ancients
whose deeds are as yet preserved in
prose and poetry.
According to Eskimo tradition, the
first man was made not from the
dust of the earth, but from a piece
of chewing gum, for be it known that
the Indian is the original gum cheNer
as well as tobacco smoker. The first
woman was lying one day on her
couch of frs chewing gum. Grow.
ing weary, she took it from her mouth
and fashioned it ilto the form of a
man. Tired. then. she tel asleep, to
find upan her awakening that the
breath Of life had been breathed into
the figure of gum of which she had
been the architect, and, 10, man was
there! And so the world began tc be
peopled.

INJURIES TO TERRAPIN.
Not Uncommon to Find Them with
Some Of Their Members
Missing.

During my Investigations | have met
with a very considerable number OF
specimens of diamond back terrapin
which in one way or another were
malformed, either ~congenitally or as
the result of some injury or disease,
writes Prof. w. P. Hay, in Baltimore
American.
Malformations of the latter charac.
te: are Of no special interest, except
in 50 far as they show the ability of
the animal to recover from its injuries
and the futile effort on the part OF ma
ture to regenerate the lost parts. In
any large collection of terrapin it is
easy to find individuals that have lost
a foot. Occasionally both feet on one
side or both feet of one pair will be
missing, and | saw one individual in
which all four feet were gone.
After such an injury the stump usu-
ally heals over smoothly. but OCCASION
ally irregular growths, not at all like
the missing member appear, and the
result may be a curiously branched,
stumpy termination. I have never seen
a specimen which showed even an ap-
proximately perfect regeneration OF
any lost part, Injuries to the body,
unless too severe, are often cuTvired.
One individual observed in a pond
at Crisfeld had lost about one-third
Of the terror half of its body, in
Guiding its laf'. hind leg. The wound
which must have exposed the body
cavity, had healed. and the animal was
apparently none the worse for the in
jury.

Joe A. Sexton had a private wire
attached to the telephone in his

been human, could not have played
a better joke on Mr.. Sexton than it
did mart of the time after it was at

ing. 1t was caused by some of the
wires being crossed. Mr.. Sexton
called up one of the neighbors and
'phoned to headquarters about it.
The joke was that Mr.. Sexton W
annoyed by so many rings on I o
former wire and asked for a private
wire on that account and it seemed
strange that he should be given such
a succession of rings on the new one.
