FOREST NOT ALWAYS SILENT.
Prof. Garner Authority for Assertion
That Wild Animals Converse.

The chatter of monkeys is a real
chatter and conversation. some folks
say. Prof. II. l.. Garner. who has spent
the greater part OF several years In
the forests of Africa studying the Ian
guages OF monkeys and other animals.
says silence is not an absolute ele-
In the safety OF wild animal life.
Wild animals are more taciturn than
domestic animals, as also are the wild
tribes OF human beings. This he at
tributes to lack OF social intimacies
and nomadic habits. The carnivora,
the only natural enemies which other
animals have any cause to fear
through the sound of their voices, de-
pend almost entirely upon the sense
OF smell In pursuing their game, every
species having it's peculiar odor. Also
the carnivora generally hunt at night,
selling their prey while asleep. The
animals which have the fewest rea-
sons to fear betrayal by their voices
are by nature the most silent. During
Prof. Gamers three years residence
in the jungle he found that the chin
panZee frequently breaks the silence
of the forest by answering the cries
of the various other animals. The
gorilla is less %loquacious, but there
are times when he ignores all danger
OF betrayal and gives rent to n deluge
of speech. Other monkey species are
persistent takers, and can be heard at
almost any hour. The trumpcting Of
the elephant is common at night, and
the believing OF the hippopotamus
by day or night. The antelopes cry at
night when the leopard Is on the hunt
for them, the latter also gruntiug.

CONSCIENCE HAD SLEPT LONG.
Purloiner of Cake Of Soap Makes
Restitution After Twenty Years.

Imagine a conscience that would
span 20 years and drive man to re-
member a theft of a cake of soap.
That there is such conscience, how
ever, is proved by the receipt few
weeks ago of two cakes of soap by a
storekeeper in little town in Mime
sofa. Twenty years ago this man,
Edward Hamilton, had a small store
in st. Paul. In front of his establish
ment he had a showcase in which he
displayed several large cakes of soap
of special make. One morning he
found the glass broken open and one
of the cakes of soap missing. The
theft was so small that the matter was
never reported, and Hamilton had for
gotten it, till he received letter from
the thief, which read:
Dear Sir: l send you two cakes
of soap in payment for one took from
your showcase in st. Paul many years
ago. recently saw your advertise
ment in country paper and learned
of the change of your place of busi-
ness. l regret deeply having taken the
soap, and trust that this which l send
will satisfactorily take its place.

USE FOR WORN WAISTS.
Fixed Up a Little, They Make Fine
Corset Covers.

Most women dislike to throw away
lingerie waists even after they are
too worn for further use because of
the work lavished on these expensive
and perishable things. There are
yards of perfectly good lace and en-
brodiery in them and the body part is
hardly worn, but the collars are hope
less, the yokes are worn and the
sleeves and cuffs are split and worn.
If you have any waists of this de-
scription bring them to view and see
if when the collars and yokes and
sleeves are cut off they could not he
made into perfectly beautiful corset
covers. You will find at least one or
two which can be made over Rip
out the sleeves and cut off the yoke
to the depth which you desire your
corset cover to be. Bind the top and
arm holes with narrow bias bands and
sew a row of beading and lace to
the top and row of lace in each arm
| hole.
Now try it on and carefully mark
| the belt line. Remove it and cut any
material below the line away. Now
| gather it into a band and finish the
band with button and button hole.
Mend any little places which need
a stitch or two, and you will be re-
warded with the daintiest and pref
test lingerie corset cover which you
could hope to possess.

MotherinQ Sunday.

The fourth Sunday in Lent is on the
goth and brings "Mothering Sunday"
This day is observed by many as a
special time for honoring their par
ents, especially the mother.
In England in the years gone by
this day was almost punctiliously OBJ
served, oftentimes sons and daughters
travelled great distances to be present
lat the dinner given on that day. All
attended church, then followed the
repast, at which dishes were served of
which the mother and father were
particularly fond; gifts were pre-
scented, elaborate or simple, according
to the worldly goods possessed by the
children.
There were no outside guests, this
day being kept sacred for the family
In our revival of special days this
one should have prominent place, for
while it was a church day each and all
of us who are blessed enough to have
one or both parents living can make
an effort to make the fourth Sunday
in Lent one of special rejoicing ant
thanksgiving for the best, trues
friend we have on earth, "our moth
ers." God bless them!

NEARLY FRIGHTENED TODEATH
IL Led Unwittingiy to Mortuary Room
and Photographed as "AsIeep

Chicago.-Miss Franc Kingsnorth,
an artists model, was led blindfolded
into a room filed with cadavers the
other day and was photographed for a
picture to be entitled Asleep with the
Dead" She tainted when the bandage
was removed and her eyes opened on
the grewsome, grinning bodies that
surrounded her. Her collapse was fol-
lowed by Mysteries in which she
screamed and struggled to free herself
from what seemed to her a living
tomb, until she fell into an unconscious
heap on the floor of the anatomical
Laboratory.
For hours after her experience she
was in a precarious condition at the
home of physician, whittier she was
removed following the scene created
as the result of an effort to obtain a
photograph that would eclipse all the
imaginative horrors conceived by
art.
Miss Kingsnorth previously had
nerved herself to waltz with an artic-
ulated skeleton, and to pose with the
same honey remnant of a departed
man upon her lap, and several pic
lures were taken, but when asked to
enter the anatomical room for another
picture she demurred. When told she
was to be blindfolded and not to open
her eyes when the bandage was re-
moved, she agreed without further ex-
PLANTATION. A handkerchief was fas-
tened over her eyes. A white gown
was draped around her. She was then
led into a room occupied until then
only by the embalmed bodies of the
dead. Dead men leaned against the
walls around the room. The heads OF
human beings were perched on shelves
here and there. 1t was a room full OF
cadavers. In the center was a couch

NOVELTY IN GIRLS NEcKWEAR.
Introduction of CoIors Has Proved
Welcome Innovation.

The introduction of color is a nov
city in neckwear for the smart girl.
White, alone, and unadorned, is sell
dom to be found among the newest
styles in neckwear.
In shape little change is to be seen.
The most popular is a high turnover,
meeting at the top as well as at the
bottom In the outer collar, or turn
over, however, there is no limit to
variety.
AS two tones are popular in dress
materials, so have they made their
way into collars For mornings in
the country, golfing, riding or motor
ing, there are pinks, blues and green's.
The edges are either scalloped or fin
ished with narrow hemstitched lines.
Establishment is given to some by
the lines being intersected with polka
dots, in a shade darker than the heav-
Ter stripe. On plain collars-that is to
say, those whose backgrounds are
white or else solid color-the dots are
formed into stripes by joining the
spots with the same thread
Many of the 4olid colored linen col
lars have fronts or tabs to match, the
ends in white sprays of French EN-
broidery In this case the edge Of
the collar is scalloped in white, and
there is a small flower design in

Addition to Layette.

Every one likes to make things for
baby's layette, and a miniature cluS-
ter of drawers may be made so cas-
lily and so very inexpensively that they
are we'll worth trying. A pasteboard
box, measuring five or six inches
square, is selected, and six small
jewel boxes are found to fit into it
like drawers. The large box and the
front of the small one are covered
with silk and white shoe buttons are
sewed as handles on the latter and
the gift is finished. 1t is intended, Of
course, to use for the little details of
the infant toilet, and some people
mark each box so that a glance at the
same will tell the contents. The six
necessities are large and small safety
pins, drawing strings, little mouth
rags, small bits of absorption cotton,
while nail scissors and gold studs may
be kept in the same drawer.
