The Record Of Raindrops.

1t Is by carefully noting small and
apparently Insignificant things and
facts that men Of science are enabled
to reach some of their most surpris-
ing and interesting conclusions. In
many places the surface of rocks,
which millions of years ago must
have formed sandy or muddy sea
beaches, is found to be pitted with
the impressions of raindrops. In Eng
land it has been noticed that in many
cases the eastern sides of these de-
pressions are the more deeply pitted,
indicating that the raindrops which
formed them were driven before a
west wind. From this the conclusion
is drawn that in the remote epoch
when the pits were formed the ma
jority of the storms in England came
from the west, just as they do today.

THE FIRST PANTOMIMES.
Introduction on English stage-The
Favorite Subjects

The first pantomime introduced to
the English stage was Tavern Blk
ers," and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane. The great institutor
of pattomime in England, was, how
ever, John Rich, who deviser this
form of entertainment in 1717. His
first emphatic success was in 1924,
when he produced "The Necromancer; ;
or, History of Dr. Faustus." So sue
cessful was Rich with his pantomimes
that Garick, Quin and others became
exasperated. Rich lived to see PAN
tomimes firmly established at Drury
Lane and Covent Garden. He died
in 1861.
Regarding the subjects of panto-
mines, the most popular theme this
year is, we are informed, Cinderella" 4"
with "Babes in the Wood" second and
"Dick Wilmington" third. II the Lon
don and suburban pantomlmes are
taken alone Cinderella" will again be
first, while Babes in the Wood" and
Aladdin" tie for second place. In
London and the provinces "CindereL
La" has been chosen fourteen times,
Babes in the Wood" twelve times and
"Dick Wilmington" ten times.
Looking back over the last eighteen
years we find that the most subjects
have been Cinderella" Aladdin"
"Dick Wilmington Robinson Cru
So" and "Babes in the Wood" in the
order given."-From the Stage.

Women Who Walk,

Walking for exercise Is one of the
means which New York City women
have found effective in reducing
weight and some of the most notable
figures in society are seen every day
on the avenue. Mrs. w. D. Sloane
rs one of the most regular pedestrians
and every fair morning finds her on
the avenue. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that she will walk as far as the
residence Of her daughter, Mrs. Bur-
den, in 91st street. In the winter Mrs.
Sloane always wear long seal coat
which reaches to the hem of her skirt.
From the other side Of the street
comes Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt,
who attributes her slight and youthful
figure to her regular exercise in the
open air. Mrs. Vanderbilt Is almost
always accompanied by woman
friends and usually leads one of her
wire haired terriers. Mrs. Vanderbilt
is Of all the New York matrons Of her
age the slimmest.
Mrs. Reeve Merritt never misses
her morning walk, and she too is ac-
companied by her little dog, which
sometimes finds it difficult to keep up
the pace which she strikes. Mrs.
Merritt has a Pomeranian, which is
also led on leash. Mrs. Vanderbilt
rarely appears with more of wrap
than the cloth coat of her walking
suit and fur about her neck. Mrs.
Merritt usually wears long astrachan
coat below the hips except in milder
weather, when she is seen in a black
velvet walking suit and furs. No ma
tron in New York society ever ac.
complished so much by her persistent
pedestrianism as Mrs. Herman N. Oel-
richs. She has grown very slim and at.
tributes most of her loss of flesh to
the persistency with which she has
taken her daily walk. She also selects
the morning hour when the avenue
is comparatively deserted. Her exer.
else is somewhat more violent than
that indulged in by others, since she
generally keeps moving at a very ra-
pA gait.
Mrs. l. T. Burden Is seen less fire.
quenty on the lower avenue nova
days. but for yesrs she was one of
the pedestrians wAo were to be met
daily on the stretch from Madison
square, where her hane used to be,
up to Central Park. Miss Evelyn Bur.
den, her older daughter, attributes her
slight figure to her constant pedes-
trianism. The two Misses Gerry rare
ly miss their long walk on fair day.

FINANCE AND TRADE REVIEW
BRADsTREET's TRADE REPORT
Improvement Is at Much Lower Ratio
Than Anticipated and Is
Somewhat Irregular.

Trade reports continue to display a
certain degree of irreguarity, ten
dency particularly noticeable in the
East, parts of the nearby South and
In scattered sections of the west. Yet,
on balance, trade at majority of
points is probably better than it was
last week, the South as whole re-
porting improvement, the Northwest
showing up in good shape, the far
West good, with the Southwest satis-
factory, though house sales there are
lighter, while the West, except Ohio
and parts of Iowa, reports progress.
More favorable weather conditions
appear to be the chief influence MAX
ing for improvement, but on the other
hand the poor condition of country
roads tends to deter anything like a
free movement. Staple lines are in
chief request and as a matter of fact,
buyers continue backward as to future
commitments.
High prices of manufactured goods
and uncertainty as to their perman-
ence are the principal barriers against
expansion in trade, but as the situa-
tion stands manufacturers find it diff
CUT 10 reduce prices on large scale,
because raw materials are so high and
because present profits are not normal
ly remunerative. Summed up, the
turnover is larger than it was last
year, but the point is that trade does
not measure up to anticipations, which
were keyed up to a high point.
Retail trade has improved at a
few points but on the whole the
weeks developments have not been
especially satisfactory, prospects of a
very early Easter trade not having ma
terialized. Collections are slow. The
labor situation is, if anything, more
unsettled than it was week ago.
Business failures for the week end
Ing with March 10 were $50, against
1S4 last week, 254 in the like week of
1909, 27S in 1908, 1S6 in 1907 and 1S7
in 1906"

Glvino of Photos Costly.

Artistic photographs would seem
costly enough in themselves, but they
must be framed in style Suitable to
that of the photograph. Therefore to
present copy of your picture, framed
to every one of your friends means
the heaping up a big bill. Miss
Blanche Oelrichs has been giving to
intimate friends charming photo
graphs of herself, finished in the soft
gray tones and framed with broad,
fat frames of gray silver. The mono
gram of the giver was on one side,
the monogram of the recipient on the
other. A few fashionable women have
their photographs farmed in plati-
mum; but even Mrs. Newly Rich balks
at the cost of such frames when she
k going to give away many pictures.

Nothing will give greater pleasure
to a debutante than one of the smart
new decorations for wearing in the

costly to buy, but can easily be copied
by clever fingers.

three-quarter inch silver gauze ribbon
with above it an equal width of blue
velvet ribbon, edged on the upper
edge with silver paillettes or rhine
stone or crystal beads. The band is
caught to the head with tiny flowers
cut from cloth of silver and a small
wired bow Of four loops is made from
the same material.
The bow is placed slightly to the

cry blue aigrette. This can be bought
and brithened with small peices Of
wired silver tissue on silvered wire.

in Washington, is the promoter Of
the new fad. st. Nicholas is sup
posed to be wonderful worker, es-
pecially mindful of unmarried folk
and those whose love affairs run far
from smoothly. The Baroness Eliza

The chief article in the credo of the
eXponents Of this new art seems to
be that you are all right If you have
a room with long easement filled up
with panes of diamond loaded glass
and easement curtain olive green
for choice, drawn half way across the

1t is no matter what the size or
character of your room may be, IL

paste a label on them and send them
off by express to their destination

is in its right and natural place in
cottage the ceilings Of which are nec-
essarily low-not perhaps so low as
those of the house in Ireland, where
nothing but plaice could be put on
the dining table, but still low enough
for the windows to be a good deal
broader than they are high; 1t is,
however absurdly out of place in a
large apartment with a moderately
high ceiling.-Queen.

Over Blouse With Guimpe.

The over blouse is one of the de-
velopments of the late season, and 1t
is being used in a number of novel
and attractive ways. In its later
form 1t is quite simple in cut and for
the most part is made in one with
short sleeves. The one illustrated
shows 1t as its best. 1t is made of
pretty thin silk with trimming Of
banding and applique and it is worn
over guimpe of tucked net. Over
blouses of this sort are very much
liked for chiffon cloth, however, and
for crepe de chine and similar ma
terials, and they are worn over
guimpes of lace, flowered and Persian
silks as we'll as over the palmer ma
terial. In addition to serving for
separate blouses they are admirable
for use in combination with coat
suits, in which case the over blouse
would be made of chiffon, crepe de
chine or messaline in color to match
the skirt with the guimpe in con-
trast.

FARMER KILLED BY EXPOSURE
Farmer Near CrandaII Thrown
From Wagon and is Found
Dead the Following Day

Crandall. Ben Lehne, living four
miles east of town, vas found dead
about a mile from town Sunday
afternoon. Death is said to be due to
exposure. Ben came to town Saturday
evening to meet an old-time friend who
just arrived from Minnesota for a visit
and during the evening took a few
drinks, starting for home about 8 o'clock.
The team came home Sunday morning
and as Ben was nowhere to be seen, a
diligent search was made and his body
was found about three o'clock in the
afternoon on a steep hillside about a
mile southeast of town. 1t seems that
the team was driven off the road across
a rough section of the hills and the
wagon upset in this place which was
very steep. In the upset Ben was
thrown about twenty feet down the
hillside, alighting head downward, and
his overcoat was pulled down over his
head, which fact goes to show that he
did not move after the severe fall.
This would seem to indicate that he
was rendered unconscious by being
thrown this distance, and was overcome
by the cold before regaining conscious
ness. The team grazed about a while
and then wandered home.
The party who was with him seems
to take the matter coolly, and stated he
made an effort to turn the rig right
side up, but the hill was so steep his
efforts were in vain. He then called to
Ben but got no answer and slept in a
straw pile close by.
Two sons were in Canada at the time
and one on claim neal Lennon. They
were wired for and arrived home Thurs
day. The funeral took place Thursday
and the remains were inferred at Ray
mond. Ben was an upright citizen and
a business mar of such integrity as to
command the esteem of all. He leaves
a wife and large family to mourn his
death, and they have the sympathy of
all in their hour of deep affection.

Farmers, Institu ties

Supt. A. E. Chamberlain, who has
charge of the farmers institute work
in South Dakota, has announced the
following dates upon which Institutes
will be held in Day county: Audover,
Jan. 9Th and 9Th; Webster, Jan. 10th
and 18th; Waubay, Jan. 18th and 18th.
The institute work shows a great
improvement over former years, and
overs every phase of agricultural
activity in which the South Dakota
farmer is interested. The instructors
and speakers at these Institutes have
made a life study of scientific agricul-
ture, and the object of these Institutes
is to instruct the farmers in the proper
method of producing the most profitable
crops at the lowest possible cost and
at the same time conserve the produc-
ing elements of the soil.
There is not a farmer who will not be
benefited by attending these Institutes
and we hope that every Day county
farmer will take advantage of the
opportunity.
