 What We Pay for Plumes.
 Imported ostrich feathers cost this country s2,292.515 a year or two ago. and current statistics are expected to show the customary increase. Last fall the most valuable kinds, known as white primes and blood feathers sold in Lon don for $146 a pound, which would make a price of about $170 pound in this coun- rty Experts declare the feathers pro- duced in America fully equal to those coming from Africa, and, moreover they are broader and finer looking. It seems the only contention which foreign buyers alege Is that the American kind are not so strong and tough as the wild feathers why ostrich farming may not be developed sufficiently in California and Arizona alone to supply all the feathers consumed in America. to the entire satisfaction or almost all the persons who buy them here The experiments conducted in the great southwest have induced this belief. and go far in support of the idea that ostrich farming will hereafter be recognized as a distinctive and well established American industry.

SHARPENING A PENCIL,
N This Act, 1t Is Said. You May Read
q Mans Character.

No woman should marry a man till
she has seen him sharpen lead pen
ell. She can tell by the way he does
1t whether he is suited to her or not
Here are few infalllble rules for her
guidance In the matter:
The man who holds the point toward
him and close up against his shirt
front Is slow and likes to have secrets.
lie Is the kind of man who when the
dearest girl In the world finds out that
there are Others and asks him who
they are and what he means by call
Ing on them will assume an air of en-
cessive dignity.
The man who holds the pencil out
at arms length and whites away at
1t, hit or miss, Is impulsive. jolly good
natured and generous.
lie who leaves a blunt point IL dull
and plodding and will never amount
to much. lie is really good hearted,
but finds his chief pleasure in the
commonplace things of life.
He who sharpens his pencil an inch
or more from the point is high strung
and imaginative ana subject to eX-
uberant flights Of fancy. He will al
ways be seeking to mount upward and
accomplish things in the higher re-
glons of business and art, and his
wife's greatest trouble will be to hold
him down to earth and prevent his
flying off altogether on n tangent.
The man who sharpens his pencil all
around smoothly and evenly. as though
1t were planed Off In an automatic
sharpener. Is systematic and slow to
anger. but he Is so undertaking from n
fixed principle that he would drive a
woman with sensitive temperament
to distraction In less than six months.
On the contrary, he who jumps In
and leaves the sharpened wood as Jag
ged as saw teeth around the top has

Without good teeth there cannot be

Importance of sound teeth. Clean teeth
do not decay. The teeth should not be
brushed from side to side. If this is
done the points of the gums will be in

THE HUMAN BODY.
Compositien Of the House In which
Mans Spirit Abides.

Tho foundation Of the human body
is composed Of 2o6 bones, covered
with 522 voluntary muscles. The
smaller blood vessels are so numerous
as to be beyond the telling. but we
have no fewer than about 1000 arteries
through which the blood is always
flowing under the government Of the
heart
The blood Is composed Of two constit-
uents, termed by psychologists red and
white corpusclcs, numbering some thou
sands Of millions.
Our house has something like COO
tiny telegraph wires. called nerves,
connected with the brain and spinal
cord. and these little wires are always
telegraph to the main office--the brain.
Besides these there are the sympathct.
ic wires. or nerves. numbered by thou
sands, which help the former.
The front Of our house, the skin, has
been measured up and found II spread
out. to cover fifteen square feet
Tho ventilation scheme by which we
get our fresh air Is built Of such fine
porous stuff that, II spread out, 1t
would be found to cover n stretch Of
land biz enough to contain n fifteen
roomcd house. We refer to the lungs
which have hundreds Of millions of
air cells.
To every square inch Of the palm Of
the hand are $500 pores. while the
number Of sweat glands in the skin
generally Is 100000. Their function
is to deposit secrctlons upon the skin;
hence the necessity Of a daily tub to
wash this stuff away. otherwise It clogs
the sweat glands and prevents their
proper working.

WORSHIP OF SPRINGS.
How II Prevailed Among Early peo-
pies In the Southwest.

How II Prevailed Among Early peo-
pies In the Southwest.
Springs are rarely found in the south
western part Of the United states, and
for this reason they have been from
ancient times priced as n most valued
possession. The people who dwelt in
this region, says Walter Uough In
Records Of the Past" saw in these
sources OF life giving water the founts
of continuance and well being. and
near them they located their pueblos..
Save air, no elements of nature are
nearer to human life than those COM
bined into the primitive fluid which
must always be within reach Of men
who put themselves into the grasp Of
the desert The primary knowledge Of
the tribes who were the pioneers and
OF every human being who has since
made bis home in the great American
desert was complete as to the location,
distribution and idosyncrasies Of the
water supply.
Spring water is naturally more DriZei
by the Inhabitants of those desert soil
tudes than that from living streams,
because 1t is always drinkablc ana al
ways at hand, while the watercourses,
which for the greater part of the year
are sinuous reaches of dry sand, furnish
at food quickly disappearing supply
of thinned mud which will not he touch.
ed by man or beast except in the dis.
tress of thirst.
One is not surprised, therefore, that
primitive people will regard these
springs as sacred. In fact, the Indians
of the southwest are not peculiar in the
worship of springs. Tho sentiment is
worldwide. has had a vast range Of
time, perpetuates itself in the folklore
of the highest civilizations and presents
in its manifestations most interesting
body Of myth and fancy. But in the
southwest the arid environment has so
intensified this feature Of primitive cui-
ture that no spring in the region is
without evidence Of many offerings to
the deities Of water.
1t is small wonder then that the Pu-
eblo Indians came to regard springs
with special veneration: that they wove
around them myth and tradition and
made them objects of religious worship.
70 one acquainted with the environ
ment and its radical needs this seems
to have been natural. even though
unconscious. generalization. Perhaps
offerings to springs will not admit Of
such simple explanation. Perhaps the
mystery of the underground source Of
water yelling up from unknown
depths, Oppressive always even to the
observer who believes himself free from
the trammels Of superstition, has also
bad n powerful effect on the mind OF
the Indian, leading. like many other
natural phenomena. to an attitude Of
worship of unseen powers behind these
masks.-New York Tribune.

Americas mediterranean and Its

The gulf of Mexico is a sea 1000
miles long from the straits Of Florida
to the harbor Of Tampico and 500
miles wide from the mouth of the
Mississippi river to the mouth Of the
Coatzacoalcos.
This Mediterranean Of the west Is
surrounded by countries Of extraordi-
nary richness In the fertility of their
soil, the geniality Of their climates.
the vastness and value of their for
ests and the variety and extent Of
their mineral endowments.
All these countries, capable of sus-
tanning hundreds Of millions Of people,
are inhabited by nations and races
who live under republican forms Of
government and cherish and maintain
free institutions. The northern coast
line Of this important sea Is in the
great republic Of the United States Of
North America. The southern half Is
in the next greatest American repub-
Tic, that Of Mexico, while ON the east
are the important Islands Of the West
Indies, with Cuba Mt their head. The
region around this most important sea
Is destined to be far richer more pow
erful and more distinguished in the
history and affairs of our globe than
were ever those that bordered the
ancient Mediterranean of the eastern
hemisphere, not even excepting Egypt.
