aBone Age, in Kansas.

The pioneers of Kansas will never
forget the buffalo bone age says the
Kansas City Star. When central and
southwestern Kansas were settled the
orairies were strewn with buffalo
bones. Those were hard times in Kan
sas and the gathering of these bones
enabled the early settlers to live while
they were getting their claims broken
OUT for the producing of crops. Nine
tenths of the pioneers of that section OF
Kansas-and there weren't very many
at that-had household goods that they
had hauled from the east IN a single
wagon. OF course there was no buffGs
10, for this was in the late los but
their bones strewed the plains. and
these bones were the only thing that
had commercial value and they We're
utilized. They were hauled in great
wagon loads to the nearest railway,
often from sixty to 100 miles away and
sold. Tue horns were the more valu-
able and they went first, but the rest
OF the skeleton soon followed. There
were no fortunes made by these early
bone hunters for a large load Of buff
falo bones brought only from So TO IS
at the railroad towns, but the proceeds
rom a load enabled the settler to buy
a little flour, coffee and occasionally
meat and lumber.

sprees of housekeeping, the lady who
goes on mad shopping jamborees. the
frenzied one beht on the instant
achievement of clothes and hats. the
person who goes in for dogs, The one
who dotes on birds, the embroidery
fiend-each and every specimen of the
variety of the universal feminine who
does not believe in doing things by
halves. She is so determined not to
do it by half that she does 1t about
twice too much; she goes to the other
extreme and oyersteps the bounds of
common sense.
The American woman is intense, she
is generally in hurry, she is thorough
" in earnest: life is real, she chants;
life is earnest. and Herewith she pro-
ceeds to make it hectic; if she is in
society she means to be up at the head
of the procession: il she is a wife and
mother she too often kills herself serv-
ing her husband and children and TAX
ing care of her home; if she is on the
intellectual order of women she over
studies and reads herself into nervous
prostration; If she is an ambitious busi-
ness woman she is SO dead in earnest
that half the time she moves around
in a sort of financial trance.
She certainly does need a narcotic,
something which would force her to re-
lax, to take time to laugh and indulge
now and then in a sweet and whole
some idleness; so she would be a saner
and a less nervous woman, and conse-
quently a more healthy one. But this
narcotic has not as yet been discovered;
only when she comes to the end of her
strength does she give up, and then this
giving up is complete prostration.,
The sanitariums and health resorts,
both here and in Europe, are largely
recruited from this class.-Exchange

Health ana Beauty Hints.

After using borax and rosewater for
the. removal of tan and freckles, lit
tie cold cream should be applied, as
borax makes the skin dry.
Large pores on the nose and chin
may be reduced by applying several
times day lotion made of lemon
juice and glycerin, or one of alum and
water.
Lemon strip, made by baking a
lemon twenty minutes and then squeez-
ing the juice upon half a cupful of
sugar, is excellent for hoarseness and
to break up cold.
A cure for hiccoughs is to inhale as
much air as the lungs will hold and
retain it as long as possible. If one
inhalation is not enough repeat as often
as necessary.
Should anything get into the eyes one
drop of sweet oil should be dropped in
the corner of it, but if it be mortar or
lime battle with a weak solution of
water and vinegar.
A simple mixture of equal parts of
lemon juice, honey and cologne is an
excellent lotion for whitening the hands
if they are abnormally red. Apply at
night, rubbing well into the skin.
I For an ordinary sore throat, with
loss of voice or huskiness, dip folded
handkerchief in cold water. Encircle
the neck with the wet handkerchief and
cover it with several folds of old fan
nell One nights application is usually
sufficient to relieve slight cases.

and it can do no more danger than

sliding in a groove, and after the thing
has been heated the hair is wound
around one of the arms of the tongs,
and when the hair has been drawn

closed down and its heat gives the

Garner on Animal speech.

Prof. K. l.. Garner, who for several
years has spent the greater part of his
time in the forests of Africa, studying
the language of monkeys and other ami
mails, replies in the current Independent
to the published statements of w. Il.
Hornaday that wild animals in the jun
gle very rarely communicate with one am
other by vocal sounds, they having learn
ed that silence promotes peace and long
life" Prof. Garner admits that wild
animals are habitually more taciturn
than domestcated ones, as are also the
wild tribes Of human beings. This he
attributes to lack of social intimacies and
nomadic habits. But he points out that
merely going hunting and camping in the
forest with fire and noise gives no oppor-
tunity for the methodc study of its deni-
Zens. 1t is necessary TO live among them
in a state of nature for an indefinite
time.
Contradicting Hornaday, Garner denies
that silence is an important element Of
safety in wild animal life. The carnivor-
Gus. the only natural enemies TO which
other animals have any cause of fear Of
betrayal by the sound of their voices, de-
pend almost wholly upon the sense of
smell in pursuing their game, every spe-
cies having its peculiar odor. Also the
carnivores generally hunt at night, seiz-
ing the prey while asleep. The animals
which have the fewest reasons to fear o.
trayal by their voices are by nature the
most silent ones. Garner tells of his
personal experience during the three
years residence in the jungle, how the
chimpanzee frequently breaks the silence
of the forest by answering the cries of
various other animals. The gorilla is less
loquacious, but there are times when he
ignores all danger Of betrayal and gives
vent ito deluge Of speech" Other non
key species are persistent takers and can
be heard at most any hour. The trum-
peting of the elephant is common at night
and the believing of the hippopotamus by
day and night. The antelopss cry at
night when the leopard is on the hunt

Difficult 10 Move About.
For years and years the mendicity ex-
perts of all sorts. ranging from the prac-
teal students of the subject, like Josiah
Flynt" and Jack London, up to the more
scientific Investigators who looked ct it
broadly in its sociological relations, have
been calling attention to the fact that the
solution of the tramp problem lay in the
abolition of free railway travel for the
wandering brotherhood. The tramp, they
said, if reduced to immobility, or even to
the mobility given by his own legs, would
be almost impossible
If confined to one town or limited to
the few the tramp could reach unaided
he would soon become known an5 be
forced to work or go to Jail. The stories
OF temporary lack of money and of en-
ployment waiting few miles beyond
would not be accepted at kitchen doors
from a sturdy beggar in his own vicinage,
and il IS only by making those stories
believed that the tramp can live at all.
As a rule, he applies only once at the
same door, and of necessity, at les,st, ne
puts enough space between his visits to
endure forgetfulGess of his identity. This
he can do only because he is allowed to
ride free on freight trains, practically
when and where he chooses.
The railway companies have always
recognized the tramp as a nuisance and
a danger, and innumerable half-hearted
efforts have been made to bar him from
the cars and bumpers and trucks, but for
the most part the train crews leave the
unwelcome passengers alone, partly be-
cause TO put them off means trouble and
delay with occasional fights with men
who do not hesitate at murder. and partly
because even the tramps will pay a lit
tie something 10 be ignored, and these
fares go TO further than the recipients
pocket At last, however. the charity
workers and the railway officials seem
to be getting together for the remedyjng
of this great abuse.
The National Conference of Charities
and Correction. at Minneapolis, received
assurances from the heads of many rail-
ways and railway systems. including
Messrs. Hill and Hartman. and Presi-
dents Murray and Delano, that il will
receive all possible assistance in putting
an end to this most vicious class of travel.

Care of the Hands.

For well-kept hands the nails are Of
prime Importance. In the first place
they must be properly cut, following
the outline of the finger tips.
When the hands are washed the skin
at the base should be gently pushed
back with a towel or orange stick, so
as TO disclose the little white half
moon.
When the hand is held up before the
face with the palm inward, tiny rim
of nail should show around the end of
each finger. The corners should be cut
round but not too closely, or they will
become sore.
Sharp instruments should be kept
from the nails, and cutting away the
loose skin should be avoided, as it is
apt to produce soreness. Lemon juice
is useful in taking off stains. Should
they look dull or rough, a little vase
line or beeswax may be rubbed on and
then polished with soft CLOTH

The fine art of dressing is to wear
good clothes and be anmindful of them.
To be able to be "unmindful," one must
feel that all her clothes are in order
and becoming. Then, and then only,
can she forget her appearance entirely.
One idea to be borne in mind in choos-
ing a hat for the hot weather is that it
shall be some protection to the face. 1t
really is more sensible to keep what
complexion you have than to have to
bother with pastes and washes. The
absurdly small and tilted hats worn
early in the season are useless for pro-
tecting the face. The sailor is still
favorite and is being made in lighter
and daintier straws While it con-
tinues to be trimmed simply, with
band and bow, it is brought up to date
by a bandeau covered with ribbon bows,
worn in the back under the rim. A
shade hat made of rustic, soft green
straws, and trimmed with wild flowers,
is most attractive

A rich cream wolfe skirt was made
attractive by neat trimming around
the bottom. The skirt was plated in
box plaits about two and one-half
inches wide around the entire breadth
The bottom of each plat was trimmed
with narrow pyramid of lace, possibly
seven inches long. The lace was as
wide as each plat, gradually taperhg
to a point. The effect for dress skirt
was becoming indeed.
Ready-made riding clothes are now
offered in great variety and excellent
quality, and many women buy these in
expensive habits for summer wear,
even though they may prefer a made

semi-fitting and Norfolk coat styles and
in both cross saddle and side saddle
skirts. 1t is possible, too, to buy sep
arate riding skirts of whipcord, cheviot,

DIR. Charles NJ Bushnell, who is con.
Quoting a model public playground at
Washington, d. c., says that the United
States spends $6,000000,00O annually on
the criminal, pauper and vicious classes.
This figure is based upon an extensive
study of what he calls the social illness
Of this country. He finds that the aver
age factory hand earns $40 a year,
whereas the average criminal costs about
$1,000 a year. Disease as a result Of
vicious habits is believed to be increas-
ing; suicides are increasing six times
as fast as the population, and murders
three times as fast, while insanity is also
making gains In Industrial enterprises
we are, it appears, each year manning
and killing from two to nine times as
MANY persons as are killed in similar pur-
suits in Europe He declares that we
have 100000 paupers and 100000
persons on the ragged edge Of pauperism.
To-day he finds that over one-third of our
population live in large cities, as com
pared with per cent in 1870.

RanLxer AssaiIs Trust Makers,

Henry Cfews, the millionaire banker Of
New York, in an address on great wealth
and social unrest at Chautauqua, N. Y,
likened to the dark ages the attitude Of
capital toward labor few years ago, and
took the radical ground that officials Of
illegal trusts should be imprisoned for
their crimes He endeavored to distin-
guish, however, between the social unrest
which springs from an appreciation Of the
nations foundation and that misguided
and malicious unrest melted by social
ism" He particularly approved of those
manifestations Of unrest which come
through organized labor in demands for
adequate compensation or the limitation
of days work. Mr.. Clews denied en-
phatically that the existing unrest had
been brought on by the Roosevelt admin
istration. This, he said, was both sur
prising and ridiculous.
