STRANGE PRACTICES DUE
TO IDEALS OF BEAUTY
Women Torture Children to
Keep Them in Fashion

In some parts of the Indies. says the
Boston Herald. women paint their teeth
red. In Gurural the blackest teeth are
esteemed the most beautiful In Green
land the women color their faces with
blue and yellow. The Chinese must
have their feet as diminutive as those
of she goats, and to render them thus
their youth is passed in torture In
ancient Persia an aquiline nose was
often thought worthy of a crown. and
II there were any competition between
two princes the people generally went
by this criterion of majesty.
In some countries the mothers break
the noses Of their children. and in
others press the head between two
boards that IL may become square The
Indian beauty is thickly smeared with
bears fat. and the female Hottentot
receives from the hand of her lover, not
silks or wreaths of flowers but the
warm entrails Of animals newly slain
to dress herself with the enviabl or
naments.
In China small eyes are liked. and
the girls are continually plucking their
eyebrows that they may be small and
long.
The Turkish women dip gold brush
in the tincture of a black drug which
they pass over their eyebrows by day,
but it looks shining by night: they
tinge their nails with a rose color. An
ornament for the nose appears to US to
be perfectly unnecessary; the Peru
vians. however, think otherwise, and
they hang from 1t heavy ring, the
thickness of which is regulated accord
ing to the rank of their husbands.
The custom of boring the noses, as
English women do their ears. is very
common in several nations: through
the perforstion are hung various mate
rlals, such as green crystal gold
stones. a single and sometimes a great
number of gold rings; this is rather
troublesome to them in blowing their
noses
The female headdress is carried in
some countries to singular extrava-
gance. The Chinese beauty carries on
her head the figure of a certain bird;
this is composed of copper or of gold,
according to the rank of the person:
the wings spread out and fall over the
front of the headdress and conceal the
temples; the tail, long and open, forms
a beautiful tuft of feathers; the beak
covers the top of the nose; the neck is
fastened to the body of the artificial
animal by spring, that it may the
more freely play and tremble at the
slightest motion.

RECORD YEAR FOR
INJURIES AT POLO
Disastrous Season on Coast for
the Followers of the POpu-
lar Pasfime

BURLINGAME, April 4.-Will the
series of serious accidents of the past
polo season cause changes in the rules
which will place the game on the shelf
a spectacular sport and put 1t in
the harmless class with marbles,
mumblypeg and Marathon walks?
This is the question upon which all
Burlingame is speculating. and mean
time Miss Eleanora Sears, the pedes-
trienne- -poloist from Boston, gives
Dame Gossip a substantial morsel by
asserting that the present style of play
is suitable to her and to her athletic
inclinations.
Nevertheless, the past polo season
has been disastrous, not only on the
local fields, but also in the south. Here
is list of the mishaps:
Major G.. w. Hobson, English team
Eye severely injured by maIIet on Ell
PalOmar field.
Richard NJ. Tobin. BurIingame-Leg
injured by ball on Ell Cerrito field.
Peter Martin, BurIingame-EIbow

j. o. TObin, Burlingame-Cheek laid

With the departure of the four Eng
lish polo players for George Gould's

at an end. The IA ponies brought out
by the British team will be shipped to

Star of Sea Team Wins
On Diamond

The Star of the Sea school baseball
team easily defeated the contingent
from st. Francis school in the class \
division game Of the Catholic Schools
league at Ocean Shore grounds yester-
day by the score of Il to S.
The winners played a poor game in
the field, but managed TO connect with
the ball when hits meant runs. The
losing team pot men on the bases in
every inning. but Kerwin for the win
ners managed to hold the opposing bat
ters safe when there was any danger
of scoring, the runs made by the losers
being mostly the results of errors at
critical times.
The St Joseph's and st. Pstrick's
teams will play in class A division
game this afternoon.

With the first week of the Pacihc
Coast baseball league over. Vernon
leads the league in the race for the
baseball pennant- Happy Hogan's team
is somewhat of a surprise. as his as-
gregation finished in the cellar last
season. 1t has started off this year
with a rush. The local champions have
done all that was expected of them.
They got away with the series with
Portland and they are second in the
race and within easy reach of the
leaders
The season has started off like a
banner one. The attendance for the
week has been unusually large and the
of the largest that has ever gathered
at Recreation park. The series with
the Seals and the Portland club helped
along, as all the games were well con-
tested and the teams played snappy
ball.
GETS CHUNKY" SHAW
The local club appears to have a
fast aggregation of tOssers and Man
ager Danny Long has added another
infielder to his team. He has secured
from Charley Comiskey of the White
Sox Infielder Royal Shaw, who played
with the second division of his team
Shaw is a third baseman and a good
all around player. Comiskey had so
many infielders that he was compelled
to dispose of some of them and Shaw
was one that fell under the hammer.
With Shaw as a member of his team,
the Seals should be materially strength
ened. The local team needed another
infielder, for the last week Mohler
was out of the game through an in
jury, and if something had happened
to any of the other infielders the team
would have been seriously crippled. The
Seals appear to be strong again this
season in their pitching department
Miller looks to be an unusually good
man and Ames showed up very well in
last Sundays game.
The Seals start off their series with
the Oaks this afternoon at Recreation
park. The transbay team has many
new faces in its lineup, and from the
early work of the Commuters they ap-
pear to be a handy bunch of ball

CITIES SHOW REMARKABLE
GROWTH

Though the work of the thirteenth
census has so far revealed the present
population of comparatively few cities
counties and states, the bureau of CEN
sus has already made public figures
concerning enough localities to indi-
cate certain interesting trends in the
growth of American population. The
bureau is pushing the work rapidly all
along the line. but it is being carried
forward so uniformly as affecting all
parts of the country that. although
the end is close at hand. complete re-
turns have been made in only one
state. and complete returns from par
ticular counties and cities in only
twenty-three states.
What stands out first is. of course.
the general increase in population all
over the country. While this growth
is perhaps more striking in the middle
west, or even in the far west. the east
is little behind those sections In
creases in city population rarely fall
below 90 per cent for the last ten
years. Often the increase is consid-
erably in excess of so per cent. Thus
Bridgewater, Conn.,. shows a growth of
43.7 per cent in the last ten years.
while at the other end of the country
Sacramento has grown 52.6 per cent
Ill lle same Iine. lIllS growth mas
been expected. but there viii probably
be some surprise to find how far the
growth of the citizen exceeds that of
the rural districts. Here, save in a few
localities, there is an increase. but
generally it is below 10 per cent In
Nebraska Seward and Buffalo coun-
ties, of $4,000 and 10000, respective
ly, show practically no increase, while
the only other county recorded in the
state (Madison) shows an increase of
about 1000 on a first population of
1900. or about II per cent

A permit was issued last week TO
the Sisters of the Good Shepherd for
the erection of a three-story dormi-
tory on Colarodo boulevard and
louisiana street The structure will
be of brick. stone. steel and concrete
and will cost S15O,OO0. This is the
first of group of buildings the sisters
nope to erect on their extensive tract
one of the most beautiful on the out
skirts of the city, and commanding
view Of the country for miles in every
direction. Ground was broken for the
new dOrmitory last fall, but the sis
terS were unable to proceed with the
work until a more auspiciOus time.
Work will now be pushed forward
rapidly and it is hoped the building
will be ready for occupancy in the
spring. At present the good work of
the sisters is greatly restricted be
cause of lack of space. The home at
West Cedar and Cherokee streets is
quite inadequate for the three hun
dred children who md refuge there.

is the botanical dove" The flower
has the appearance of a dove with ex-
panded wings lowering over the stalk.
The entire flower is pure white,
very fragra 1t. and opens from the end
of a long green stem.
