MEMORY OF SAVAGES.
We'll Developed In the ZuIus, Who Can
not Resort to WRITING.

10 WTlNln9s
The memory in savage or unculti
waited peoples is often trained to de
gree very surprising to those civilized
men and women who have grown used
to(dependinS on the written much more
than on the remembered word. The
transmission of whole epics, like the
"lliad," by word Of mouth no longer
seems SO incredible when YOU read of
the feats of memory of which present
day Zulus are capable.
These people have no writing and are
accustomed TO transmit messages and
record events by memory alone. This
they can do because their mental i'm
pressions are made especially distinct
by reason Of their acquired or Inherited
habit Of giving undivided attention to
the subject In hand.
Communications between the British
authorities and the Zulu kings were al
most invariably conducted by means of
verbal messages carried by natives. A
certain ultimatum addressed by the
British TO Cetawayo was conveyed to
him-not upon paper, but in the brain
cells OF the messengers whom he had
sent eighty miles to receive it from the
British commissioners.
Although the document contained
some 1000 words and was accompanied
by much comment OH the state Of
things 1t was desired to remedy, the
whole was reported to Cetywayo with
perfect accuracy MIR. Gibson in The
Story Of the ZuluS."

FEATHERS OF FRINGE.
They Cost Less Than Willow Plunes
and Are Fashionable

The woman whose purse Is slim and
whose desires are great will welcome
the fact that feathers made Of fringe
are fashionable.
4 Few years ago women were salts
he'd 10 bedeck themselves IN curly os-
trlch feathers that measured twelve or
fourteen inches, sometimes less, ana
were quitehhappy with them. but now
long willow" plumes measure from
eighteen to thirty-six inches and cost
many times the amount Of the small
natural feather.
These long, costly plumes being out
Of reach Of many, q beautiful substi-
tute has come to US from Paris, and
these are quite easy TO make at home.
If you can WELD needle.
For an eighteen inch plume you will
require one yard and half OF wide
fringe, six or eight inches deep. piece
Of round silk covered milliner's wire
eighteen inches long, heavy and strong,
and half a yard of inch wide satin
ribbon the color of the fringe.
First of ALL cover the wire with the
ribbon, sewing Il very securely and
keeping the seam straight. Now to the
ribbon covered wire three rows Of
fringe are sewed, covering the seam in
the ribbon and leaving narrow strip
Of ribbon to show, that will correspond
to the rib on the natural feather.
Having the fringe attached to the
wire, one end--the top of the feather
must be bent over In curve to re
semble the natural curve IN the real
feathers; then. with heated curling
iron. the ends Of the fringe are curled
inward just a little way and then
shaken out until they are fluffy and
as near like the real feather as It is
possible to make them appear.

The fact that it cost two hundred and fifty thousand less to elect Presi- dent Taft. than it did the wielder of the one time big stick. must be a bitter pill for Teddy to swallow. No doubt Roosevelt has always believed he was twice as strong as the Steam Roller. but this may have been due Co the fact he kept pounding the elephant over the head with that big stick of his.
 The steam roller Is harder to get into action, and the same holds good n trying 10 stop 1t. Once the steam roller gets to going it has sufficient momentum stored up within itself to keep 1t going for some time. and to the republicans 1t appears more economical vehicle to propell toward the White House. than one wherein T grand stand player goes astride of a big stick much the same as the witch astride of a broom.

enforced differing education given to our

TO the present day. And In confirmation
OF woman's status In the early nineteenth
century, she SAYS: The feminine
training of the eighteenth century was
purely domestic; that Of our generation
purely academic. and thus there has been
at least sixty years in the interim where
girls were brought up almost without ed

without practical preparation for any

The differentiation made In this book
between "womanly" and feminine is a
valuable help for women and men who
insist upon dclving into the feminist
movement without real appreciation or
the vast spaces which often separate
these two given attributes OF woman
kind.
