Order Modified.

A Washington, D. C., special to the Star says: The secretary of the in terior has modified his recent order on the restoration of lands, which hereto fore had been withdrawn under sec ond order for use in connection with the Salt river project in Arizona. un- der the original restoration order tine lands were to become subject to set clement on June 3 and to entry on July 3, but in view of the fact that the lands are strictly desert in character and that no bona fide settlements could be made thereon because settlers would have no means of sustaining themselves or of complying with the homestead laws, it has been deemel advisable not to per nit the initiation of any claim for settlement. By making the lands be- come subject to settlement and entry on the same date, speculative entries will be prohibited and an equal oppor- tuuity will be accorded to all.

PAPUAN COIFFURES.
Heads In New Guinea That Look Like
 Rising Suns.

"One of the most interesting things that came under my observation was the odd manner in which the people wore their hair," said physician, de- scribing a visit to New Guinea and the leading traits and characteristics of the inhabitants, known as Papuans. "One type wore the hair standing up from the head at q length of seven inches or more. :. It was trimmed with wonderful regularity and with mathematical ac- curacy The hair was greased with cocoanut oil and painted red. At a distance 1t looked like n rising sun"
 Another type of the inhabitants who wear their hair in an unusual fashion was described.
 Starting from the forehead" he said, 'the hair is brushed back over the scalp aad hangs down to the waist. It is perfect mass, an intricate jungle. I am sure 1t was never combed, and it was impossible to run the fingers through it. At a distance it looks like a cap with the visor turned downward. "One other odd type of hairllressing --coiffure, If you wili-was observed on this visit The hair was gathered at the frort and back. then brought to- gether above the head where it was mcloscc in a basket-like cylinder. The end spread out about two inches. Alp parently these caps are never removed from the head. ."-BdltimOre Sun.

Making unoer 2 ladd.r.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe gives this explanation of the old superstition against walking under a ladder: Tn former days. when hang ing was done after more primitive and simple fashion than it is today, the victim had generally to pass under the ladder which stood against the gal lows for the convenience of the execu- ton. and he passed under that ladder with the fair certainty of being immc- diately hanged. What the unhappy criminal could not avoid the average pedestrian avoids today. even at the expense of his polished boots, by turn ing into the roatway."

Money in Dairying.

That is pays to milk cows and dairy is the fact that II. B. Morris, Jr, has demonstrated to his own satisfaction during the past year. MT. Morris has twenty-six cows, and during the last year he has cleared up, after all OK pcnses have been paid, over $500. MT. Morris took one COW and made test of her and what she could do. She was taken care of, her milk tested often and kept track of, with the number of pounds per day, and, after deducting for feeding and care, she has netted him over $l00. Mr. Morris believes this is very fine showing and says he is going into the dairy business.

OUR FIRST MUSTANGS.
They Were Probably Brought to This
 Country by the Spaniards.

Country by the Spaniards.
 The first horses of the western plains were probably brought there by the Spaniards. In 1545. almost fifty years before Jamestown was settled. Coro- nado, the Spanish captain, was roam hig about the plains of New Mexico, and he tells of the dogs used by the Indians to haul their plunder on lodge poles, indicating that they had no horses at that date.
 In iI16 the Spanish again worked their way eastward across the plains, and their letters tell of the astonish- ment of the Indians at seeing the horses they had with them The ex- pedition was constantly losing horses. and there Is little doubt that the first droves of western horses originated from these strays.
 In the early days upon the plains they were great pest to travellers. Woe be unto the luckless camper who allowed band of wild horses to get close enough to his gentle horses, turned out for the night to sweep them off. It was almost useless to follow. for the call of the wild comes to the gentlest of horses when he is thrown with band of his kind that have been born and raised free of all restraint It Is well known fact that the hardest one to ''cut out the lead CT of them all in q mad race across the prairie. is the old. gentle. well broken saddle or work horse once he gets taste of such freedom.-Will c. Barnes in McClure's.

last night TO consider letter rece.v-
ed by President Copeland from Con-

through Mr. Jones, had previously ur-
gently requested the ambassador to
re-establish consular Office here.
Probably not since the chamber
held its annual election had such q
crowd of members gathered to attend
meeting OF the body.
The president explained the object
of the meeting. then an animated DIS

moved that the chamber endorse a

that he believed that the body should
avoid putting itself on record as Ia
vcring the candidacy of one citizen
