PRICES OF TODAY coMPAR-
Ed WITH TEN YEARS AGO

Chicago, Nov. 24.-So.ne mean man
with talent for figures dug up an
advertisement of Chicago depart
ment store of ten years ago. He did
! this because he grew angry because of
the boosting of the price of turkeys.
He compared the prices of ten years
ago in the advertisement and the fig
ures of today. They are interesting.
Ten years ago the store advertised
a Thanksgiving bill of fare for s1.95.
This was for a nine pound turkey,
enough plum pudding for four. mince-
meat for three pies. a bunch of eel
cry, turkey seasoning, a part of pars-
ley. a quart of cranberries, a pound
of mixed nuts and three pounds of
sweet potatoes. The same bill of fare
this year will cost four dollars and
twenty-five cents.

A queer practice which is general
throughout all the tribes of Australia
is the ribbing of the skin. When the
children are still young long cuts are
made across the chest, down the upper
arm and leg and even across the back
and ribs. While the wound is quite
fresh the cut is opened and a mixture
of mud is grated in. the skin being
pulled as far as possible over il. The
skin eventually grows completely round

Women True to Themselves.

Mr.. John NJ Coulter, head of the
department of botany of the Chicago
University, who with his wife and chill
dren was on the Inflated Republic,
says that the heroic conduct of the
women was something that can never
be forgotten. When the order came
to put on life preservers the women
put them on as coolly as if they were
shirt waists. There was no faintinS
no panic. and they even joked among
themselves to conceal any fear they
might have as they adjusted the I'M
usual preservers. They conducted
themselves, he says, in a manner to
make one forever proud Of American
womanhood. 1t gave one an under
standing Of the nobility of woman's
nature, he declared, that Ioes not pre-
sent itself often In an ordinary life

A terrific windstorm, approaching the
severity of cyclone, swept over Gallatin
County, Illinois, and Posey County. In
diana, early Tuesday morning, leaving de-
struction in its wake. Barns were blown
over and houses demolished. The damage
done in Posey County is conservatively
estimated at $4,000 and in Gallatin
County at $4,000. The cyclone struck
the Indiana side of the Wabash River at
Winkler's ferry. near New Harmony, but
no deaths or serious injuries resulted.
The southern part of Illinois near the
mouth of the Wabash River suffered most
from the storm. A number of barns and
other outbuildings were destroyed and
eight farmhouses were badly damaged. A
strip of valuable timber about six miles
long and one-half mile wide was laid low.
Cornelius Thomas, a farmer, was the
largest loser, every building on his farm
being RACED to the groun. Farmers in the
northern part of Posey County were
heavy losers. The home of Ed Carr, val
ued at $1,000, was demolished. The
