ATTRIBUTES OF BEAUTY.

A sood set of teeth, with not an
atom of gold visible.
A complexion as smooth as satin
and as creamy as nature can make it.
A pair of very soft, large eyes with
good lashes and a set of eyebrows
clearly defined and looking as though
painted with a brush by nature in it's
expert mood
A head of hair which just sets off
the face. 1t should be light in texture
and either dark in color or bright. In
either case it should be glossy. and so
arranged that it looks pretty. Poor
halrdressing will ruin any face, while
careful hairdressing will almost make
a woman.
nice, small throat, round and well
shaped. not double throat nor a neck
that is stiff, nor a throat that looks as
though it had been made out of dough.
shapeieSs and ugly.
beautiful chin shaped like an egg
with the small end down, an oval chin.
chin that could be coaxed to grow
double, perfect clear cut, classical
chin. one of those chins you read about
in the books and see in the pictures,
but you seldom meet in real life past
the age of 20.
A graceful pair of hands, big and
white and exquisitely kept Hands of
this kind can be the property of every
woman, but she must know how to
obtain them.
A nice foot, long and graceful. with
high instep and nice trim little
heel. ALI feet are created pretty. But
they outgrow their prettiness after
they have been encased in tight shoes
for a while.

FEEDING YOUNG PELIcANS.
Produces Physical Shock Which Has
Strange Effect on the
Birds.

AS the young increase in size, feed
ing becomes more serious proceeding
for all concerned, writes Frank M.
Chapman, in Century At the age of
flight, the young birds average slightly
larger and heavier than old ones, and
the physical shock of feeding is so
great that the parents supply only one
bird at time, and that at long inter-
walls; while the young seem so over
come by the prolonged stay in the par
entail pouch, as well, doubtless. as by
the size of the meal they have secured
there, that on emerging they are in a
dazed and helpless condition. Laying
the head on the ground with wings re-
laxed they act as though they had re-
ceived violent blow at the base of the
brain. This apparent semi-conscious-
ness is followed by the most violent
reaction, as the revivlng bird sudden

ANIMALS IN THE DESERT.
Number of Them Guido the Camel in
Respect of Going Without
Drink

Other creatures than the camel are
able to get along for extended periods
without drinking. Sheep in the south
western deserts go tor 40 to 60 days in
winter without drink, grazing on the
green, succulent vegetation of that sea-
son. Peccaries in the desert of Sonora
live in little dry hills where there is
no natural water for long periods.
They cannot possibly find water, in
fact, for months at time. The only
moisture they can obtain comes from
roots and the fruits of cacti. But the
most extraordinary case is that of the
pocket mouse, one of the common ro-
dents of the desert This little crea-

Embroidering your winter suit is

The work is very simple, for it re-

amount of needle craft, but it must
be done neatly and with patience. If
one is willing to spend the time one
can obtain dress which is every
whit as beautiful as the most fash

NATIVES ARE PLOTTING
AGAINST ONE ANOTHER.

Havana, Cuba, Dec. 31.-Tne state
ment is made that several thousand
rifles reported to have been landed
lately in Pinar Del Rio province and
hidden in the woods near Mariel,
have been secretly taken away. The
recent movement of troops and po-
lice, which were considered mystic
rieus in the light of Governor Ma
goon's statement that there was no
fear of an uprising in Cuba, is ex-
plai1ed by this announcement, as it
is no known that the movement was
in the nature of a search for these
arms. The possibility of a clash be-
tween Cubans and Americans is aot
considered, as their relations are
good. The natives, however, nave
been plotting against one another.
Just who is responsible for the ship
ment of arms is not known. There
are indications that it is going to be
difficult to stop disorders by growing
bands of robbers, who are burning
cornfields and tobacco barns, robbi1g
estates ald stealing cattle.

DENSE FOG HID SIGNALS
Engineer of Train Ran by Block
Station When He Did Not See the
Danger Lights.-Investigati is
Promised.-Train Robbery in Vir-
ginia.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The list of
dead as a result of the appalling
wreck at Terra Gotta on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad last night has
reached At at noon today. Inquiry at
the various hospitals of the city
where the injured were taken shows
a number of persons whose condition
is regarded as hopeless. The injured
number over fifty.
Two distinct stories have been
told by some of the friends Of those
who will naturally be implicated. The
entrance to the block in which the
accident occurred is at Silver Spring,
Md 1t is said there that local train
No. Sc from Frederick had entered
the block with clear track. Green
lights were then set on the signal
tower showing that the block was oc-
cupied. The engineer of the dead
train which followed accordingly slow
ed down as he entered the block and
ran cautiously. At Takoma station,
near the center of the block, it is
said that the day operator had tied
down the white signals showing a
clear track and left his station. At
this indication the engineer of the
dead train crowded on all steam and
forged ahead at tremendous speed in
the dark, foggy night and on slippery
tracks. 1t was only a few moments
until the huge engine of the dead
train plunged into the rear of the To-
cal just pulling out of Terra Gotta.
Operator Phillips at Takoma denies
that his signals were white. He de-
clares that he was al his post, and
that the red signals We're set show
astonisned to see the dead train
rush past and expected it to slow
down and back up. Instead he heard
of the accident ii a few minutes
LATER At two o'clock this af-
ternoon the number of dead as re
suit of the Terra Gotta wreck, ac-
cording to the police, had reached So
Fort5-fve of the number had been
identified
