How Any Trait Hay he Fixed In n
Normal Human Being.
There Is not single desirable attri-
butte which, lacking in a plant, may not
be bred into It. Choose what improve
ment you wish in a flower, a fruit or
tree, and by crossing, selection, culti-
vatioa and persistence you can fix this
desirable trait irrevocably. Pick out
any trait you want in your child, grant
cd that he Is a normal child, be It hon
esfy, fairness, purity, lovableness, in
dustry, thrift, what not. by surround
ing this child with sunshine from tho
sky and your own heart, by giving tho
closest communion with nature, by
feeding him we'll balanced, nutritious
food, by giving him all that is Implied
In healthful environmental influences
and by doing all IN love you can thus
cultivate In this child and FIX there for
ell his life all Of these traits-natu-
rally not always to the full in all cases
at the beginning Of the work, for he
redity viii make itself felt first, and, as
In the plant under improvement, there
will be certain strong tendencies to re-
version to former ancestral traits, but
In the main with the normal child you
can give him all these traits by pa
tlently, perslstently guiding him in
these early formative years.
And, on the other side. give him foul
air TO breathe, keep him In a dusty fac
tory or an unwholesome schoolroom or
a crowded tenement up under the hot
roof; keep him away from the sun
shine, take away from him music and
laughter and happy faces, cram his lit
tie brains with SO called knowledge,
oil tho more deceptive and dangerous
because made so apparently adaptable
to his young mind; let him have asso-
clates in his hours out Of school, and at
the age of ten you have fixed In him
the opposite traits. He Is on his way
to the gallows. You have perhaps seen
a prairie fire sweep through the tall
grass across a plnin. Nothing can
stand before 1t; 1t must burn Itself out.

weeds grow up In child's life and

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Too much publicity spoils a good
deed.
Signing your name to a friends note
Is a bad sign.
When riches come In at the window
friends flock to the door.
He who has no faith In himself Is
destined to become a successful fail
ure.
The brave and fearless man manages
to get there early and thus avoids the
rush.
A wise man doesn't attempt to pull
himself out Of trouble with a cork
screw.
II a man is unable TO stand pros
perity he should sit down and give his
wife chance.
The suspicious man keeps one eye on
his nelghbor, but the wise man keeps
both eyes on himself.
Unless man is willing to take
chances he never takes anything else
that happens to be lying around loose,

PORTABLE VILLAGES.
TurcOnans Move Their Houses Fro1
Place to Place.

TurcOmnns Move Their Houses From
Place to Place.
The Turcomans, who live on the east
ern shore of the Caspian sea, carry
their villages about with them when
they travel. AS a tribe sets out on a
journey every man packs his wooden
house upon camel, which the animal
can easily carry, and when a spot is
reached where he and his friends In
tend to remain for any great length Of
time the camels Gro unloaded and a
village started which 1t takes about an
hour OF so to build.
1t is to be remembered that the
houses are real houses and not tents
and that the settlement is not camp,
but village. The travelling house OF
the Turcoman Is marvel of skill and
Ingenuity and is really much lighter,
more portable and can be packed into
much smaller compass than any of
the so called portable houses that are
manufactured and sold in some parts
Of our country.
The frame is made Of strong, light
wood laths about an inch broad by
three-quarters OF IN inch thick, cross
ing each other when set up in position
at right angles about q foot apart and
fastened at each crossing by the thongs
Of rawhide so as to be movable, and
the whole framework may be opened
or shut In the same manner as those
toys for children that consist of a
squad Of wooden soldiers and Will ex-

One part or moro made In this way
and all inclosing a circle fifteen or
twenty feet across form the skeleton
Of the walls and are firmly secured in
place by bands Of ropes made of hair
or wool fastened round the end Of each
rod. From the upper ends Of these
rods similar rods bent near the wall
and into something less than a right
angle are so disposed that the longer
portions slope to the center and, being
tied with rope, form the roof.
Over this is thrown a covering Of
black felt having in the center a large
hole which answers both for a window
and a chimney. Large pieces Of the
same coarse black felt are wrapped
round the walls, and outside these, to
keep all tight, is bound another frame
Of split reeds or canes or of some very
light, tough wood bound closely togeth-
or with strong coSds.

FOR GILLETTE'S LIFE

THEIR LAST PLEA.

gro descent, shall be discharged from
the service of the United States, and

'"The bill speaks for itself. 1t was
not introduced for buncombe. My pur-
pose is to give the congress of the

is not an argument against this meas
ure. Many men have been brave, in
fact most are in the matter OF fighting.
The Comanche and Sioux Indians were
as brave men as can be, but no one
would seriously suggest that we ultl-
mately recruit regiments from them,
put guns in their hands and station
them near companies of white troops,
toward whom they entertain inherent
race hostility. The Twenty-ffth In

says Myendorff, "he asserted that in

being an old soldier Of the civil war
This statement vas never made by
me. and it would have been absurd
for anybody to have made any declara-
ton Of that character. Tn records
Of the state department show that it
was in 1865 that Abraham Lincoln
obtained my release from exile in 81
IBERIA, and that I did not arrive in this
country until 1866, a yea after h
close of the civil war"
Mr.. Warren is also quoted as saying
that he never read to me any private
letters OF mine addressed to Commits
eiOner Rchards. Never said he did.
What l did say, however, as is proved
by the foregoing quotations from my
afiluyit, was that the senator read
me extracts from letters which / had
addressed to the commissioner of the
general land office.
The following extract from u letter
written to me by Mr.. Warren under
date Of April 4, 1904, in reply to a
letter which l addressed to him five
days prior to that date, may indicate
