said the fault finder. Watch a score
Of pedestrians on the sidewalk, and not
one Of them sticks to straight path.
Those deviations are not always due to
the crowded condition of the pavement
either. During the rush hours a man
Is supposed to dodge this way and
that In his efforts to make progress,
but when given a clear road there Is
no excuse for so much sidetracking.
Yet, no matter how favorable the con-
dltions, the New Yorker zigzags just
the same. He might have stretch of

and be perfectly sober, yet in that dis
lance he would veer from curb to stoop

GUlMARD, THE SPIDER.
The Great Dancer of the Great Days
of the Ballet.

The elder Vestris, who fourished in
the middle of the eighteenth century,
called himself the god of dancing"
and declared In all sincerity and With
out rebuke that his century had pro
duced but three supreme men-hiluself,
Frederick the Great and Voltaire. On
one occasion when reproving his son
Augustus for refusing to dance before
the king CT Sweden at the request OF
the king of France he said that he
would not tolerate any misunderstand-
ing between the houses Of Vestris and
Bourbon, which had lived hitherto upon
the most friendly terms.
Madeleine Guimard made her debut
when she was thirteen years of age
and for nearly thirty years kept oil

was a success Of art and not of beauty,

who helped Fragonard to adorn her
house with frescoes. Indeed, Frago-
nard, for whose paintings today fabu-
lous sums have been paid, lost his COM
mission because he dared to fall in
love with his patron. Guimard had q
theater In her own house, and her en-
tertainments there were deemed ex-
travagant in an age Of luxury. Paris
could not spare her to London until she
was past her fortieth year. She was
a sort of boudoir adviser to Marie An
toinette, and so great was the esteem
In which she was held that one of the
most distinguished sculptors of the
day nodded her foot, and when her
arm was broken in a stage accident a

brated at Notre Dame. = Macmillan's

Army regulations prescribe In detail
what honors shall be paid to the flag,
and these regulations are implicitly
and gladly observed. No matter how
little one may relish the duty Of show
ing the respect due to some military
superior, he is always ready and glad
to do honor to his flag. Whenever any
one in the military service of the Unit

him, he is required to remove his cap

A LAW OF THE DESERT.
With Water and Food Scarce, Ex-
treme Measures Are Warranted.

with Water and Food Scarce, Ex-
treme Measures Are Warranted.
1t was In the camp of Bullfrog that
Mitchell, the big brick red mining
man Of Nevada, told me his view Of
law on the desert:
IF you are prospecting with Cn un-
reasonable hog of partner who wants
to eat three slices of bacon and half
loaf of bread for breakfast and let's
the canteen gurgle down his throat
while you get along with strip Of
bacon and just moisten your lips when
you take a drink, then you're all right
If you kill him. I'd kill him if there
wasn't anything else to do. It's a
tough game, and it's your life or his
when you're lost or your grub stake
and water are giving out"
These observations are suggested by
the arrival In camp two days before
Of the bones OF prospector who had
died of thirst some forty miles from
Bullfrog during the previous summer.
He had been a carpenter, earning
wages of So day in the new camps
during the "boom," but the gold fever
led him away from this safe and
profitable toll. He picked up a part
ner, they loaded their burros and
trailed off south toward the Death val
ley country to o'prospect in the Funeral
range. =
Three weeks after the desert swal-
lowed them up the partner wandered
into a freighters' camp, half crazed
with thirst and exhaustion. He was
able to tell the freighters that the car
penter was somewhere out beyond,
lost and without water, too helpless to
move. The partner was too weak and
fevered to go back with the rescue
party of freighters, so they left him
in camp. He directed them as well as
he could, but the search was bootless,
and Griffin, the carpenter of Bullfrog,
was added to the long list of desert
victims. Several months later a party
Of prospectors tumbled by chance
across what was left of him. There
were no traces of his outfit He had
thrown away his gun, his canteen and
his hat. One shoe was found thirty
feet from his body, and he had torn off
and flung away most of his clothing.
These We're the CHASTITY evidences of
the last great fight he had made to
struggle on.
"When they're dying for water" said
Mitchell, who knows the desert
game,' they throw away everything
until all their clothes are gone, and
you generally find them without q
stitch on."-Ralph D. Paine in Outing.

Screw propellers, like most other In,
ventions, had great difficulty In getting
recognition from authority. For In
stance, Sir William Symonds, surveyor
and principal designer to the British
admiralty, could not be brought to be
lieve In them. He declared that steam
ships Of any sort were "monstrous'
and that the screw was impossible.
The day came when choice between
paddle wheels and screw propellers
had to be made. The naval authorities
tied two ships stern to stern. and when
the screw propelled vessel had trf-
umphed over the paddle sten nef In
this ludicrous tug of war the lords of
the admiralty felt justified In model
ing the British navy anew.

FOR THE LAUNDRY.
Eave IN Separate Bag For Things
That Require Delicate Handling.

Eave n Separate Bag For Taings
That Require Delicate Handling.
Almost every woman has felt the
need of separate bag for collars and
cuffs, especially If her husbands are
sent to the laundry, as they so often
are, and must therefore be kept sepa-
rate from the general family wash, or,
If not needed for this purpose, still a
small and ornamental bag substantial
enough to be thoroughly useful comes
in handy for the handkerchiefs and
laces that require more delicate han
ding.
Such bag may be made out of the
fancy Turkish towels to be had any
where for 25 cents apiece. Those with
blue, pink or yellow grounds and bro
caded pattern or raised white upon
them are especially pretty. The pink
and blue will wash, but the yellow Is
not so sure. The bags are made by
doubling the towel and scanning the
edges to within four inches Of the top,
not including the fringe. These flaps
are then turned over 80 as to make a
sort of little lambrequin, and line Of
stitchir" put about third Of an inch
from the top, thus forming hem In
which to place the drawstrings.
Next run ribbon through the hem SO
that 1t will draw from both sides.
To wash, remove the ribbons and
press out the drawstrings. Soak blue
towels In strong brine, say half a cup
of salt to quart of water. an hour or
two before washing. Do not boil Pink
towels should be soaked at least an
hour In vinegar and water, half Of
each, and enough to cover. If In the
soaking any part should be left dry, 1t
will generally be found to have faded.
Pink or blue goods of almost any de
scrlption may be washed without los
ing color In this manner. For very del
icate pink pure vinegar should be used

THE BLACK BASS.
A Marine Butcher That Kills For the
Pleasure of Slaughter.

The bass Is like roaring lion going
about seeking whom he may devour.
have seen a good sized specimen get
into school of minnows and eat and
stuff until he could not get any more
into his capacious insides, then go off
by himself. throw up what he had
eaten and begin over again, after which
he would keep on killing the poor In
nocent minnows apparently for the
mere pleasure Of killing. Very young
bass will attack minute water life
get away with every one In sight,
adopting the same method as their eld-
ers. To illustrate the extent of the
cannibalism of the black bass here Is
the experience of q superintendent OF
one of the fish hatcheries In Pennsyi-
vania:
''The superintendent made an actual
count of 10000 young bass about an
inch long and placed them In fry
pond by themselves. He gave them
food six times day, and, according to
his statement, each fish ate on an aver
age three times its own weight of the
prepared food every twenty-four hours.
They We're placed in a pond on the
1st of July, and on Oct l, when
they were taken out, there were only
11,000, and the record showed that less
than 200 died from sickness. 1t Is rea-
sonable to suppose. therefore, that in
addition to the food given them by the
superintendent there We're about 5000
bass devoured by their stronger and
more fortunate companions. w. E.

CONSCIENTIOUS ROGUES.
The Big and Formidable Sinners Are
Gray of Soul, Not Black.


No paradox is 1t, but a demonstrable
fact, that In highly articulate society
the gravest harms are inflicted not by
the worst men, but by those with vir-
tues enough to boost them Into some
colgn of vantage. The boss who sells
out the town and delivers the pooG over
10 filth, disease and the powers that
prey owes his chance to his engaging
good fellowship and big heartedness
Some of the most dazzling careers of
fraud have behind them long and reas-
suring records Of probity, which have
served to bait the trap Of vlllainy.
Not that these decoy virtues are coun-
terfeit. They are, In fact, so genuine
that often the stalwart sinner perse-
veres In the virtue that has lifted him
into the high places he abuses. The
legislator conscieutiously returns the
Doodle when he finds he cannot "de-
liver the goods" The boss stands by
his friends to his own hurt. The lob
bying lawyer Is faithful to his client.
The corrupting corporation president Is
loyal to his stockholders. 1he bought
en- editor never quite overcomes his
craft instinct to print "all the news
there is."
In word, the big and formidable
sinners are gray of soul, but not black,
so that chastisement according to their
character rather than according to their
deeds let's them off far too easily.-E.

Without good teeth there cannot be
thorough mastication. Without thor
ough mastication there cannot be per
feet digestion, and consequently poor
health results: hence the paramount
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
jured and the teeth loosened. The up
per teeth should be brushed from the
top downward from the gums to the
ends of the teeth, the lower teeth from
the bottom upward, also from the gums
to the extremity of the teeth. 1t is es-
sential to wash the teeth at night and
wise to wash them also in the morn

The ChangeIess Moon.

Under existing conditions-and the
conditions have existed on the surface
of the moon for perhaps millions of
years-it is a physical impossibility
that the face of the moon should
change one iota. There are neither
outside nor inside influences that can
be brought to bear to make a change
in the configuration of "our silvery sis
ter world" Her internal fires have
long since died out, and there Is an
utter absence of both air and water.
Existing under such conditions, it is
utterly impossible that the face of the
moon should undergo change or dis
integration even in the course of a
hundred million years.
