A "WREATH OF BABIES"

,, Imagination is the making of a
writer, SO one has been led to believe.
Perhaps; but some writer's go too
far. Just listen to this description
Iof bit of simple summer millinery
from a foreign publication:
'sIt goes with yellow print frock,
like the poets
"Buttercup-color was her print gown,
So sweetly rare, so quantity fair!"
and here we had gray chip, very
coarse, but dull of surface, and but
tercup-yellow taffetas Winterhalter
bows, with raveled ends, sitting all
around the low crown, with their
fat, short legs sticking out well apart
in front of them, for all the world
like wreath of chubby babies.

sATIRisT FOR OUR SINS.

Mr.. Robert Hcrrick has said a
true word in declaring Americas
need Of great satirical novelist.
That is a golden gift to any age or
any nation, but never, it must seem
to us, would such a gift be more
timely than at this stage of the
democratic experiment in America
It's special value to us would lie
i'm its access to our national sense
!of lumor. That sense is now chiefly
mere joke, irresponsible, unpropor-
:tionate, inconclusive and superficial.
But to a great satirical humorist it
would open wide to the light. The
trouble with much Of our self-fagcl-
'lation is that it lacks true proper
ton, which is the strong merit Of
satire. It is not merely serious. 1T
is glum. >; has not the tonic sting
of high comedy. Against it not only
our sensual complacency reacts, but
also our common sense.

DIAMOND BITS ARE COSTLY
Fair Value for the Eight Needed in
Drilling in Rock Is About
$500.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value.
however, will undergo fluctuations,
dependent upon the price of the dia-
monds. Perhaps $500 is fair value
for bit. The diamond used is ex-
ceedingly hard-harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their carat
price is considerable, averaging, say,
at $50 carat. The diamonds used
will weigh from one to two carats, so
that eight have value ranging from
$3.50 to $500, on the average. The
loss Of a bit means so many dia-
monds gone and may lead to diff
Guilty with the hole. The diamond is
not tough, but brittle. It will with
stand heavy pressure if applied even
ly and without shock. 1t can read
lily be seen that drilling through
seamy rock may become quite unfa-
vorable. If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
cessive. Under ordinary conditions,
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means
prohibitive. -Cassier's Magazine.

INSECTS KILLING BIG GAME
Bulldog Flies Attack the Moose, Which
Take Refuge In Water and
I. Are Drowned.

Bulldog flies are killing big game
along the international boundary, ac-
cording to County Commissioner
Hello Clementson. Two moose were
killed last week near lumber camp
on the east fork Of Rapid river, and
in his opinion large numbers Of fine
animals have lost their lives the last
week.
The flies, which are fully half
inch long, are more plentiful than
for many years and attack the moose
in large numbers. Their stings
drive the animals to distraction and
in a crazed condition the rush
through the woods, often entering
log camps filed with men. They seek
water and several have been drowned
in attempting to evade the torment
ing flies. A big moose was pulled
out Of the river twice last Thursday
by lumbermen and the flies brushed
off.
The deer are more fortunate IN
escaping the pests and have not suf-
fcrcd very much as yet, but are hav-
ing their troubles from the deer flies.

THE TRAVELLERS COMFORT.

A slipper without heel, which is
lso soft that it can be folded and put
into very small space, is new in
jvention designed for the traveller.
we have had cretonne hats and
'coats, cretonne covers for the furni-
iture, and now cretonne slippers are
among the latest things. A woman
Twas making a pair the other day
without pattern. She bought a
pair of soles, such as are used foi
the crocheted slippers, put her foot
on the floor, fitted the cretonne over
the instep and the rest was easy.
She bound the top of the slipper and
:sewed the lower edge to the sole. 1t

wear in the sleeper during the night

Methodist's Rebuke Of Presbyterian

!. A Presbyterian minister who had

could not bring himself to engage in

Smith went back and urged him to

Iexclaiming: II am one of the quiet

so much noise and hubbub; you must
remember, Brother Smith, that in

heard neither the sound Of saw nor
lof hammer.

SUBDUlNG THE EARTH.

New York Times filed dispatch

"CAPTURING" AN EAGLE.

One of the incidents of the last
season in Dead River region that
escaped press notice at the time was
the fact that William Ledgyard Of
Boston and Albert Leavering of New
York, then guests at Round Noun
tain camps, attempted to capture an
eagle and were unable to carry off
the sky king alive. The furious
bird made such good use of his beak
and claws that the gentlemen we're
finally obliged to hold him under
water until he was drowned, in order
to demonstrate that one of them was
not in reality captive of the eagle.
