Use of Rice Powder.

1t is sometimes necessary to powder
the face, but powder should be applied
lightly and artistically in order to i'm
part to the skin the velvety softness
of the peach.
A face powdered like a clowns is
ridiculous, and as unbecoming as 1t is
vulgar. Powder on the face should be
imperceptible. and If used with dis
erection is not to be condemned.
Take up but small quantity OF
powder on the pun and pass 1t lightly
over the face. Care should be taken
not to powder the eyebrows, and the
lips must be carefully wiped to remove
any powder which may nave fallen.
The whole face, except the eyes, the
eyebrows and lips. should receive a
touch of powder.

Demand New Grade Wheat.

The millers and grain dealers Of
Kansas have revived the demand for
the establishment of a new grade Of
wheat to be known as the Turkey
grade. For the past three years they
have been trying to get such a grade
established, but for some reason the
grain grading commission refused to
establish it.
Two of the members of that COM
mission were Governor Click ard Rep
resenative j. T. White of Ada. Gov
ernor Click has been reappointed, but
Mr.. White left the commission when
he became state grain inspector In
his present position he will act as
adviser to the commission.
Governor Stubs has written to the
millers and grain dealers Of the
state for their views on the question.
If the demand is anywhere near
unanimous, the governor will urge
his commission to fix the new
grade.

Keeps Couture in Shape.

A clever device for preserving the
couture in perfect condition while
wearing a hat was seen recently.
AS to the hat it was used with. the
brim was very wide and the crown
an immense beehive. OF course, in
order such a shape should set com
Portable upon the head this support,
consisting of wires from the brim, ran
up into the crown, otherwise the
structure would drop over the eyes
and the nose; in fact, the entire face
would be covered. But these wires
allowed to remain at the front and on
the sides, held the millinery in place.
The supports were cut away in the
back and an outstanding broad hoop OF
wire was substituted. The mass OF
puffs, curls, etc. passed through this
hoop and concealed themselves in the
big crown.

Two Colonization Schemes.

Garden City.-Two big colonization
schemes are the result of the new
railroad which is to be built north
east through Finney county which
will mean the development Of the old
Garfield county, commonly called the
"Pawnee country" Two colonization
companies have brought several
thousand acres of fine bottom land
adapted to the raising of alfalfa at
500 an acre and will cut 1t up into
small alfalfa farms to be sold at $35
an acre. Bankers of Lafayette, Ind,
are interested in one of the schemes.

WATCHING THE GAME.

The umpires of the National league
of professional baseball players had a
conference few days ago. They were
urged by the executive head of the or
ganization to enforce to the letter the
regulations against rowdy ball. This
official declared that the few players
who are inclined to be rowdies on the
field must not be permitted to negative
the good results achieved in recent
years of watchfulness. The patrons
of the popular American game appre-
ciate this attitude, says the Chicago
Tribune. Baseball has a strong hold
upon the people. There are millions
who like to watch it played. The
overwhelming majority want clean
sport on the diamond. It requires lit
tie argument to prove that rowdyism
is losing proposition in the long run.
A manager or player who is debarred
from the game for few days be-
cause of offensive language or conduct
often Injuries his team greatly. From
the point of view of playing strength,
rowdyism is harmful. From the point
of view of those who like square, hon
est fighting and who patronize the
team to see real sport it has no place
In baseball.

TEACHERS HELP IN HARVEST.
Lure of $3.50 a Day DepIetes Kansas
County Institutes.

Topeka.-County institutes in the
wheat belt of Kansas are having diff
ficulty holding their attendance just
now. All of the male teachers can
get $3.50 day and board working in
the harvest fields, and the women
teachers can get $500 a day and
board cooking for harvest hands.
Most of the women teachers are good
cooks and they can earn enough in
that way to pay their expenses on
their summer vacation trips.
School officials will likely change
the dates for the teachers institutes
in the wheat belt after this, so that
they can be held either before or after
harvest.

To Avoid Extra Session.

1t is possible that special session
of the legislature for the purpose of
getting state and national bankers to-
gether, may be avoided. Negotiations
to that effect are on between repre-
sentatives of the state and national
banks. A meeting between two such
representatives will be held in To
peka and the probable outcome of
this meeting will be the calling of an
other meeting between committees
from each class of banks. This lat
ter meeting will be held soon, and it
will determine whether or not there
is to be a special session of the leg
islature.

The slaughter OF the Stegomyia fas-
ciata since the proof under the indict-
ment that 1t was the host for the prop
agation of the yellow fever parasite
has been frightful, and something sim
liar has been happening to the typhoid
fly. The fact is even more important,
for it is easily possible to fee to
climes where the Stegomyia never
ventures, but it is hardly possible to
escape the typhoid fly. 1t is the COM
mon housefy, the nuisance which
flies from the manure heaps and the
sewage-laden rivers into the windows
of almost everybody's parlor, or, worse
yet, kitchen.

There is no possibility of a repeti-
ton in this country of the witchcraft
craze which, more than 200 years ago,
made Salem, Mass, very dangerous
place for suspects. That extraordinary
delusion, which led to the hanging of
many innocent persons, seems unac-
countable to the enlightened minds of
the uresent time, says the Troy
Times. Yet that belief in witchcraft
still exists is shown by an incident in
Butler, Pa, where woman was
charged by another woman, neigh
Dor, with casting a spell" over COW
and thus preventing the animal from
giving milk. This was done, said the
complainant, through witchcraft. The
matter-of-fact justice of course disre-
garded the silly witchcraft story,
though he did hold the accused for
plain, ordinary assault. And proba-
bly, that was as near witchcraft as
anything that happened in Salem or
elsewhere.

meeting and decided to select the
new state repositories September l.
Previous to that time bids for state
money will be advertised for period
of thirty days. The bids will be open
ed the first of September and those
making the best bids will be named
as the repositories. There are now
thirty banks handling state money.
They pay an average of 2.S8 per cent
for the use of this money. All this
money received as interest is clear
gain to the state as under the old law
the state received no interest what

Expense Up to Counties.

Harry Bowman, member of the
state board of control, believes Kan
sas should adopt a new system in re-
gard to raising funds for the care OF
the wards of the state. Under the
present system the expense is borne
by the state at large. This, he says,
works an injustice to many counties,
which have practically no wards in the
state institutions. He believes that
the cost of maintaining the wards
should be borne by the counties in
proportion to the number which they
have in the institutions.

No creature is more jealous or sensi.

to win the heart Of almost any bird,
and that without starving him or max
ing him think he has mastered you.
Simply talk to him a good deal.
Place his cage near you on your desk
or work table, and retain his choicest
dainty to give to- him with your own
fingers. Let him know that he can
never have that particular thing unless
he takes it from you. and he will soon
learn, If you are patient and do not
disconcert him by fixing your eyes
upon him.
After this he will more readily take
it from your lips, and then when you
let him out Of his cage. after the first
excitement is over. he will come to you.
especially If you have call to which
you have accustomed him. and accept
the dainty from you while free.
As soon as he becomes really con-
vinced that you will not hurt him or
try to catch him or interfere in any
way with his liberty he will give way
to his boundless curiosity shout. you.
He will pull your hair, pick at your
eyes and give you as much Of his COM
panyv as you desire.-New York Press.
