A set Of models Of q vessel like the Sher-
man costs more than 81 900, and there Is
an immense amount Of work to be done,
because the models are built to scale and
are perfect in every detail. Photographs
were taken Of the two models before they
were shipped to Washington and these
pictures are reproduced herewith. They
show how a vessel like the Sherman Is ar
ranged inside and how every inch Of space
is economical.
The Sherman is AS feet long, 40 feet beam,
"a feet deep and draws 20 feet when loaded.
She Is fitted with two engines that drive
twin screws. She will carry l 500 troops and
has accommodations for sixty-two in the

MEXICAN WOMEN AT work.
Have Few. Outside Interests and Care
Nothing for Athletics.
From The Mericdn Herald,

from tB IttINuH itTuh
As the Moors practically controlled the
and education of Spain for over
100 years. the Spanlards acquired TO a great
extent the same Ideas held by them of the
education and. treatment of women. And
they in their turn carried these ideas 10
Mexico. In fact, the Mexican women Of
the upper classes were much freer under
the AZtecs than they were afterward under
Spanish rule. And until quite lately this
condition OF affairs has prevailed In Mexico
since Its freedom from the Spanish crown.
Not so many years ago when q Mexican
woman went shopping she remained In her
carriage In the street and sent her servant
into the store to call one Of the clerks 10
wait upon her. He came out and received
her orders and brought the goods TO her
for examination. This peculiar method Of
shopping was due 10 the old Mexican idea
that a lady OF good family should be ,ex-
elusive and should shield herself from the
gaze Of the public. and in fact from every
one except her own immediate relatives
and most intimate friends. This Idea has
been dying hard for over a century and 1t
Is still far from being completely buried in
some parts Of the republic.
The Mexican woman Is naturally a home
lover. She has no clubs to take her away
from her home. and she has few outside
interests. Even when she Ia phllanthropi-
cally inclined. which she very often Is. her
ideas OF life tend to make her place her
char able contributions In The hands Of
sister superiors Of converts or directors Of
charitable institutions and works for use In
the cause she has at heart.
The Mexican women of the middle AMI
upper classes have never been athletic, at
least since the Spanish con1rest. This. Of
course. was due to the secluded life they led.
Bot the women OF the lower classes have ever
been sto1t AMI m sc liar. for m lch work OF q
heavy kind has always been their lot. on &C
CONT Of her ouieter dis position II Is not prob
able that, for years at least. the Mexican
woman will take the interest in athletics that
is now being shown. by her American sister.
Another reason is that the sympathy OF the

and these later serve to fill in her peaccf l.
uneventful life after leaving school. 10 this

Oklahoma is beautiful, with a beauty
all it's own. Here and there, IN assures

wounds, or clear and gyppy. Above them
cottonwoods bend.
But, for the most part, savs Hdrper's
Bazaar, the land curves, trembling, to a
t~reeless h orizon. The plains are never still.
They move as const antly as stripping water.
Inthe unbroken count ~ shin oak, mingled
with buffalo grass, shakes and rustles under
the thousand handed urgence o: the wind.
Shin oaks are baby oak trees, as high as
prairie fires, aud thus never attaining full
growth. Their leaves dance g~lossily all the
time, playing with the sunshine or the
shadows.
It is a hurrying sky, a restless sky. piling
rs clouds in strange Masses; splitting out
transforms; laundering in the east while
yet 1t smiles in the west; shot with light
ming; hazed by dust storms; vast-unbe-
lievably vast! Every one watches it, as
sailors watch at sea; for every now and
then its endless changes pile up the dreaded

The resemblance to the ocean grows upon
one as one looks. The little houses pitch
about on the great swells, helpless and I'M
stable as boats, Others, dug into the earth,
venturing only a few feet above ground,
show like loaded schooners stripped OF
sails, setting deep in green water. And
the houses are as far apart as boats out at
sea.
Shinney and grass are set thick with the
most beautiful wild flowers. The sensitive
rose, it's stem guarded byfine little prickers
to prevent handling, shrinks at a blow, but
il left undisturbed. cTeeps along the ground
and holds out lilac colored soft balls full of
rosy fragrance. Like a permanent morning
glory is the bloom of the sturdy man-in-
the-ground, a small plant with a big root
almost like a mans body. Some Of the
people call it deadman.
Dearest Of all to the Oklahoma woman
the pink daisied snake root bows a ire
quent and friendly head. Through the
hard days now passing many a family es-
capped starvation because Of the presence
of this valuable herb. Women and children

Wholesale pharmacies.
Snake root is said to contain the most
powerful known antidote Ia variou poisons
and to be especially noticeable in that,
unlike most antidotes. it is not a poison in
itself. The supply is continually insufficient
for the demand, and as nobody is cultivat-
ing the plant the discrepancy is likely to
grow greater.
Snake root may soon be as rare as buTa lo.
Yet, by commercial iugglery, no sooner
had the business OF digging the roots be-
gun to be s~ystematized than the price was
forced down to 10 cents @ pound, and now
a woman has to be badly Ia need before

EVER BURNING MOUNTAINS.
Huge Beds OF Coal Afre for Ages In the
Rocky Mountains.

From the Wdshir oton Erenin0 STIR.
Through a long line Of cliffs from Colorado

recent geological Investigations into this coal
formation OF the Far West has developed what
may be termed burning mountains. or coal
beds. a FIRE with surface indications of con-
slant combustion for ages past.
Like other coal producing States OF the

even tue known fields have been compare
lively little explored; therefore very little 10
known OF their productive area,
The edges of these beds come 10 the sur
face in these cliffs nearly 1000 feet above the
bordering desert. and in ages past this coal
has burned into the mountain ellis until
smothered by the accumulations OF ashes and
covering Of superintendent rocks. In places
the heat of this burning coal has been so In
tense as TO melt the rocks. From surface ap-
pearances the fires have gone out in these
cliffs, bat at one point In the canon OF Prince
kiyer, where the coal is being mined. the
rocks nre found to be uncomfortable hot and

the fires would again break out,

Another is that forest fires raging in

The day dawned bright and clear and
by o O'Clock the trotting park at the lower
to see the races. Half a mile away across
the fields was a saloon onthe boundary line.
The thirsty looked at it with wistful eyes,
but to walk there for a drink through the
grass and grain was too much and to go
around by the road by team where officers
were thick as flies was not to be thought Of.
Behind tAe park fence, close to a little
brook shaded by thick alders, was a dance
floor and a little booth where lemonade
and soft beer were sold. There was soon
the town and lookup were full Of DRINKS.
More officers were sworn in, the saloons
were searched, and men were sent through
the crowds to look for pocket pedlers, but
none were found: The guards on the line
road reported all quiet in their direction,
and the DRINKS, when questioned where
they got their booze, refused to tell.
1t was a nine days wonder, but at last
1t leaked out. Some farmers neal the
line were preparing to lay an aqueduct:
half inch lead pipe: The oohspirators
had taken this, md with the aid Of a plumber
had laid it in the grain and grass from the
line saloon to the dance floor and booth
near the r~aoecouree. The pipe came out
under the counter in the booth and served
both as a conductor and speaking tube.

bottles had been struggled into the alders,
and inside Of twenty-four hours a thousand

Of this city has just completed one of the
United States transport Sherman which win
be shipped to Washington tomorrow.
Mr.. Boucher has been working on the
models Of this vessel for more than seven
months ana has turned out something that
he is proud Of and which is said to be the
finest work of its kind ever finished in this
country. Two models were made, each ten

small berths in the half model, exactly the
number that there are in half the ship.
