What the Copy Boy Wrote.

Representative Dan Anthony of
Kansas, publisher of the Leavenworth
Times, once had an office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type
writer - which accomplishment, the
boy figured, would make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned an old broken-dewn
machine over to him, says the Wash
ington Herald, and babe him learn to
run it.
"Whatll I writer" the boy asked.
ooh, just take some sentence, any
sentence at ALL" Anthony told him,
land see how long it will take you to
fill a page with it."
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony CHANGED to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of the
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had written n sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. The
sentence the boy had selected to prac-
tice with was: t'Who the - invent

FIND MANY RELICS
Amherst Men Make Many Dis
coyeries in Patagonia.
Biological Expedition Now on Its Way
Homo With Many Scientific Treas
ures and After Finding a Col
ony Of Prosperous Beers.

New York.-After having passed six
months devoted to scientific explora-
ton in the wilds of interior Patagonia,
the members of the Amherst college
biological expedition are homeward
bound from Buenos Ayres to New
York by way of London, bringing with
them many important contributions to
science and a fund of interesting ex-
periences.
The expedition, which left for Pata-
gonia on July 3 last, is in charge Of
Prof. F. B. Loomis of the chair OF
biology in Amherst college. His asso-
eiates are Waldo Shumway, Amherst,
1911; Layton Turner. Amherst. 1912,
and William Stein.
Letters recently received from Pro
lessor LOOMS by his associates in
Amherst and from Mr.. Turner by his
mother report that the expedition has
discovered some entirely new biolog-
ical specimens and gathered much val
liable geological data. 1t has shipped
to the college four more or less COM
plete prehistoric skeletons, Is skulls
and a large number of jaws, which in
clude fine specimens Of the Eocene-
horse, elephant, rodent, primate,
no~tostylopus and a large variety OF
other specimens taken from the bone
beds discovered by the party. Pro-
fessor Loomis reports that many of
the specimens are entirely new to
this country and suggest several new
scientific ideas.
Some Of the most valuable additions
to geological knowledge are the rich
marine deposits which the Amherst
men discovered, in some instances at
levels a thousand feet above the sea.
Amongs these are specimens of petri-
fed trees, some six feet in diameter,
which are supposed to have been
driven in by Atlantic storms of the
prehistoric ages. In one spot they
found what appeared like an entire
raft of these huge trees. Members
of the party also collected the fossil
remains of marine life, such as
sharks teeth, alligators and turtles,
from beds hundreds of feet above the
present sea level. Shells of bivalves
similar to the oyster, but a foot or
more in diameter, were found in the
same locality.
The present expedition is the third
Of a series which has been financed
by the Amherst class of 1896. of which
Professor Loomis was a member.

ITCHING AND BURNING SKIN

About three years ago I raj at
tackled with a very sever itching and
burning all over my body and finally
my skin broke until my body looked
like a piece of raw meat. l did believe
that l could not stand the torture any
longer, while all the time I was using
the salve and the wash ordered by my
physician without relief. When l was
advised to go to a skin specialist l
went with no better results. My body
was covered with large white scales,
with scales on my hands, arms and
lower limbs. In about one week my
scalp was covered with scales which
looked like dandruf but became worse
each day until at the end Of another
week the scales were as large as on a
fish. The itch in my head was un-
bearable. My hair was coming out in
combfuls until it looked SO bad I was
ashamed to go on the street.
II used tar soap for a shampoo, but
1t took no effect. At the end of three
weeks the back of my head was COM
pletely bald. / was q sight when l
decided to try the Cuticura Ointment

and using three boxes of Cuticura

more than an inch in length.

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of Ills,

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
Ill, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
Il am "a years DID," she says, have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that 1 was regularly sick in
bed'f for several weeks each time.
Il was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble. but
l am thankful that l found out the
truth.
Then I determined to use Postum
exclusiyely-for a week at frst-for l
doubted my ability to do without cot.
fee for any length Of time. 1 made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ard in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, l resolved
to continue the use of Postum. cutting
out the coffee entirely. This 1 did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned. l
gained rs pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
Then I thought l would try coffee
again, and did so for a few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was a return of my old
troubles.
That taught me wisdom, and | am
now and shall be all my life hereafter

maid in her teens cannot possibly be
fixy, worldly wise in dress so far as
the effect of her toilet goes, although,
Of course, the lovely simplicities
achieved are all matters for the pro-
foundest study.
Where there is to be only one dance
frock for the season, there is nothing
more useful than white, which can be
varied with alternate sets of ribbons
in two colors. Or the narrow bands Of
flowers so much used OF evening dress
could form one set, and as the little
satin posies of these are made by
hand, here is some dainty work for
the girl herself. Such flowers are
strung along a wire scatteringly trim
med with leaves; this Is bound all
ready for the posies, which may be
Of pink or blue satin or gold or sill
yer tissue. With the merest scrap of
gold lace for a cleaning petal or two
and a half yards of pink satin for the
hearts Of the posies, the most charm
ing floral banding could be made. The
satin flowers are always more beauti-
full with a touch of tinsel, and a
varied coloring Of the posies-one
pink, the next violet, the next blue,
etc.-is both a rewarding and nj
icla kink. A little remnant of ribbon
in each color would accomplish this
prettiness, or old satin ribbons could
be cleaned up and used.
The dress pictured is of the quaint
sort which is so suited to a girl who
hasn't much Of a figure, and as 1t Is
trimmed enough to look dressy, in any
light texture, it could be made of the
cheapest cotton wolfe. The style Of
this dress partakes of the directoire
period, when the short waist and
scant skirt, plain or primly trimmed,
and low neck and short sleeves were
features of street frocks in the most
diaphanous textures. The charming
costume is in one, the gathered skirt
and bebe bodice being jointed under
at satin belt which trims the dress
here. The material is a very thin quail
ity of white marquisette-it can be
had for so cents a yard-this being
used also for the %plaitings, which are
headed with the satin roses and tiny
leaf-bands aforementioned. The I'M
derslip is of blush pink satin, the pos.
les pink and the folded belt and front
sash are in natter blue.

While the college men often found
water a scarce luxury, they have had
an abundance of buzzards' and os-

huge omelet and the shells are worth
IS apiece in the United States. Under
date of October 8 last Professor Loom
Is writes:

In the Chico valley the American
scientists came across an interesting
colony of Boer ranchers. With the
same spirit that led their forebears
to trek back into the ~hinterland from
Cape Colony, when the British occu-
pied 1t almost a century ago, some of
them have emigrated to this new
country rather than live under Eng
lish domination in the Transvaal. In
Patagonia they have found a country
not unlike that of their old South
African homes. They are all sheep
growers, for the shrubbery, sparse
though 1t Is, seem to supply sufficient
s~ustenance to make that industry
profitable. In some localities, Mr..
Turner writes, the Beers form so
large a proportion of the population
that Boer phrases and words are be-
coming a part of the c%olloquial Ian
guage, the hills being designated "kop-
jes" and %journeying from point to
point being commonly spoken of as

ChiId's Garments.

Children's garments demand a great
deal of attention these days. There
are many attractive models and ma
terials from which to build them.
The modern mother devotes much
thought and time to the selection of a
practical as well as a pretty outfit for
her little ones.
The school dress is the most impor-
tant garment for winter wear. Sail.
or suits continue first in favor; they
are always attractive for girls. These
are made of serges, cheviots, pana-
mas, broadcloths; in fact. there is an
endless variety of materials suitable
for this dress. Stylish models come
in checked and striped fabrics, with
contrasting pipings of red, blue or
white.
For the winter coat the reversible
materials are in highest favor. 9th
er stylish designs are of plush cara
cul, pony and seal for fabrics.
