MUST COVER FIGURES.
In Iowa Nude Ones on China Must

Des Moines, Iowa, Aug. 29.-The
nude in art must not be displayed
at the Iowa State fair, and espec-
tally when the nude figures are
painted daintily on china.
This is the diCtum of T. d. Legoe
of What Cheer, Iowa, superintend-
ent OF the fine arts building at the
State fair.
Miss Elizabeth Sheets, Des
Moines china painter, is the offend
ing art china exhibitor.
Because of the lack of the his
torical fig leaf and drapery illusions
on Miss Sheets women figures on
coffee urns, brush and comb trays,
powder boxes and the what-nots of
a woman's dresser, Mr.. Legoe has
had entry tickets awkwardly bal
anced over the most offending and
fragrant nudity of the female fig
Ires. This is what caused the war
Miss Sheets protested that the beau

If they think this art is vulgar
and should not be shown to young
people, why do they let those saw
ages run naked at the fair grounds

and girls see them?'' askekd Miss
Sheets. They do not know any
thing about art. The nude figure
of either sex is not offensive, but
the highest expression of divine
art

such beautiful work covered" said
Mrs. Wharton, one of the china
Judges.

POISON IN A FLY BITE.
Heroic Measures Necessary to Save
the Life of Woman Victim.


the Life of Woman Victim.
Philadelphia, Pa, Aug. ga
fly bite on the arm ten days ago at
the seashore has caused such Sc
rious case of streptocoun poisoning
that Mrs. E. Proctor of Thirty-sec-
ond street and Euclid avenue is in
a critical condition at the Jefferson
hospital. The small lump caused
by the bite was given little atten-
ton until yesterday, when the
woman's temperature jumped to
1874, and quick operation was nee
essary to prevent the poison from
spreading.
Mrs. Proctor had been summering
at Ocean City for some time when
a large green headed fly, commonly
known as horsefly, alighted on her
arm. 1t punched the skin, and a
drop of blood flowed. The woman
thought little of the bite, and took
no precautions to prevent poisoning.
In few days. however, the arm be-
gan to swell and large, red lump
was mute evidence that the bite was
going to assume greater proportions
Mrs. Proctor returned to her
home and DR.. ~ j. Roe had her re-
moved to the Jefferson hospital
There the arm was cut and the bones
scraped. This treatment caused the
swelling to abate.

BY Rev. George Clarke Peck, D. D.
Is not the life more than meat?-
Matthew vi, %.
Time was when a transatlantic trim
made the event of lifetime. People
prepared for it with all but fasting and
prayer. When an outgoing passenger
went UP the gangplank his friends had
good reason to fear and his enemies
just ground for hoping that he would
never return to his native shore.
But in our day all is changed. An
ocean voyage now, instead Of being an
epoch III life. is scarcely an event. Tray-
elers count their voyages as a CONNER
cial man might reckon his trips to Bos-

BIGGEST BUFFALO HERD LEFT.
1t Is Expected to Number Close to a
Thousand This Year.


A report comes from Alberta, Canada,
that the largest buffalo herd in the
world, which is corralled near the town
Of Lamont, has wintered well. From the
time the roundup of the herd commenced
in Montana last year less than 112 per
cent. have been lost or died.
According to Fur News arrangements
are being made to bring up another 800
head, and Michael Pablo is engaged in
getting them together ON his ranch in
Montana. Last year the 400 head
brought to Canada We're shipped by
freight trains, but several were killed
IN loading and unloading,
This year an attempt will be made
to drive the herd up from Montana 10

miles. This eighty mile drive of 400

undertakings in the history Of cow
punching.
The government is calling for tenders
for a wire fence around this preserve,
which will be over seventy miles long
and will cost approximately $4,000.
The preserve is SO arranged that for
eighty miles the railroad runs along one
side, giving passengers 4 chance to see
the herd.
This is even now the largest herd of
buffalo in the world. With the arrival
of the other herd this spring it will be
doubled, and before the end of the year
1t is expected to number close ut,on n
thousand head, with net increase of
fully 70 per cent. annually.

CREMATION STILL UNPOPULAR.
The Number of Ineinerations Growing
but Slowly from Year to Year

The Number of Incinerations Growing
but Slowly from Year to Year.
In spite of the strong sanitary arSu
ments advanced in favor of it, the prac-
tice of cremating dead bodies of human
beings is but slowly gaining favor. This
fact is confessed in the annual report
of the French International Cremation
society at Paris.
This society is doing its utmost to in
duce the French people to burn rather
than to bury their dead, Owing to its
efforts the number of incinerations is
growing from year to year, but the in
crease is hardly perceptible
Most of the cremations in France oc-
cur in Paris, as the country do not take
to this method of disposing Of the dead.
America the report says, has the largest
annual number of cremarions. There
are thirty-six crenatories in the United
States in which last year nearly 1000
bodies were consumed.
The greater number Of the cremations
in this country. it is claimed, take place
in the case of foreigners. Germany has
fifteen crematories, which last year in
cinerated nearly 5000 bodies. In the
Argentine republic there were o16 Gre
nations in Switzerland 721, In Great
Britain T05 and In Italy 442.-Leslie's
