LUSTROUS SILKS LOSE FAVOR
Women Of Fashion Turning to the
DulIer Though Still Supple
Materials.

1t is predicted by those who are
wise concerning materials that crepe
weaves will have great vogue, and
this prophecy seems to be borne out
by the more beautiful gowns Of the
year.
1t is certain that satin In any case
will not be nearly 30 popular as last
year. Lustrous silks have been SO
much worn that women seem to have
tired of them and, for change, turned
to the duller though still supple mate
rails.
Crepe de chine will probably prove
the most satisfactory of the hand
somer materials, for 1t Is SO pliable
that 1t may be used for the many
draped effects in vogue and at the
same time 1t 10 heavy enough to fall
prettily and gracefully around the fig
ure. 1t is also material that lends
itself to hand embroideries, and 1t com
bines well with all kinds Of lace. A
new material also promises to make
its appearance during the season to
come. This is satin, but without the
sheen that this material has hereto
fore possessed. 1t Is called peach
blow satin, for the surface is not per
fectly smooth. but is slightly dowux
like the skin OF q peach.

REFEREE TOOK THE MONEY
Why Was Stove Four Feet Above
FloorP - Guide Settles Dispute
Telling Of Lack Of Stovspipe.

During the college days of ex-
Mayor Bessom, of Lynn, he had two
of the professors of the college as
guests at a hunting camp in the
Maine woods, relates the Boston
Herald. When they entered the
camp their attention was attract
ed to the unusual. position of the
stove, which was set on posts
about four feet high.
One of the professors began to
comment upon the knowledge
woodsmen gained by observation.
"Now," said he, "this man has dis
covered that the heat radiating
from the stove strikes the roof,
and the circulation is so quick
ened that the camp is warmed in
much less time than would be re-
quired if the stove was in its reg
ular place on the floor"
The other professor was Of the
opinion that the stove was ele-
waited to be above the window, in
order that cool and pure air could
be had at night.
Mr.. Bessom, being more prae
stical eontended that the stove was
elevated in order that a good sup
ply of green wood could be placed
beneath it to dry.
After considerable argument
each man placeda dollar bill upon
the table, and it was agreed that
the one whose opinion was nearest
the guides reason for elevating
the stove should take the pool.
The guide was called and asked
why the stove was placed in such
an unusual position.
"Well, "saidh he, "when brought
the stove up the river / lost most
of the stovepipe overheard, and
had toset the stove up there so as
to have the pipe reach through the
roof"
He got the money.

MOUNTAIN COAT IS DARING



The Rocky mountain goat is the
most expert and daring OF all
American hoofed animals. It's
hoofs are small, angular and com
pact, and are so constructed that
the animal can scale heights that
are absolutely inaccessible to hui
man beings. 1t has been seen as
cending and descending the per-
pendicular faces Of rocks where il
did not seem possible for an ami
NAL of any kind to cling for an in
slant. 1t was not forced to make
the climb, but did it with ease
and equanimity, and stopped fire.
quently to look behind.
The animals live, with but few
exceptions, ON the grass belt just
above the timber line on high
mountains, and particularly love
dangerous ice.covered slopes and
"hog- backs" over which only the
boldest hunters dare follow. In
British Columbia, however, they
descend so near to tidewater that
more than one specimen has been
shot from a canoe.
An average Rocky mountain
goat stands 81 inches high at the
shoulders and has a girth of 81
inches. The body from the tip OF
the nose to the base Of the tail is
66 inches long, and the tail is four
inches long. It's hair is yellowish
white in color, shaggy and long.
The horns of the male are much
longer and coarser than those of
the female. OF the specimens
now being mounted the horns OF
the male are nine inches long, with
a spread at the tips of five inches
The females horns are a little
more than seven inches long and
have spread of A inches. The
females horns are much more
slender and come to sharper
point at the tips. One of the pc
culiarities of the beast is the ex
treme shortness of the cannon OF
shinbone, from the knee to the
hoof. 1t is approximately thu
same as the bison or buffalo, ant

HAS NO FEAR FOR sTlNos.
English Apiarist Fondles Busy In
sects and Yet Suffers No In
convenience Whatever.

Edward Hurd, an English api'
artist, recently gave an exhibition
of ability to handle bees without
any protection from their stings
which was said 10 have been az
thrilling as any act of lion tanning,
saws the ST. Paul Globe.
Rolling up his shirtsleeves Mr..
Hurd declared that anyone could
move a swarm of bees from one
hive to another and rob the count
less insects of their honey, provid-
ed they had confidence in them
selves.
He then proceeded to puff
smoke into hive. This, he ex-
planned, terrified the bees, who
sought consolation by gorging
themselves with food. In fact,
they ate, he said, till they were re
duced to condition Of good-tem
pered stupidity, when they could
be handled with impuinty.
Next, Mr.. Hurd lifted off the lid
of a full hive and fixed an empty
hive cover at right angles to thu
full one. Then he beat upon thu
full hive, and Immediately thu
bees started to walk into ths
empty hive in a long procession.
In their passage his keen eye de
tected the queen bee, and his max
ed fingers closed upon her males
tvs waist. He held her aloft fo'
all to see, and finally passed hel
around in a little box with glass
lid.
Finally, Mr.. Hurd, just to show
how lamblke the bees were
picked up a handful and fondle'
them.
AS this courageous performe
slipped out of the gauze cage SO di'
several of the bees, with the re
suit that the audience rapidly dis
persed.

indian Landmarks In ohio woods.

be found trees that many would think
freaks of nature. Such they are, but
they are created by the hand OF man.
According to the stories Of some Of
the old timers. these trees are much
older than the present generation has
any idea Of. and at one time served
as Indian guide posts. 1t IL said that
in the early days, when the Maumes
valley was one vast woods. the In
dams bent these saplings to indicate
certain paths. The trees, because OF
their deformity, grew slowly, and al
though they are many years old, never
attained the size of their brethren in
the forests. Similar trees exist near
