SEEK NEW LIGHT ON PIGMIES
Curious People Found to Be Indus.
trious and InteIligent-Expedi-
ton to Visit Them.

London.-Fresh and interesting in
formation regarding the habits and
conditions OF life OF a curious pigmy
race will be sought by the new expedi-
ton to Dutch New Guinea, which is
now being planned in London. This
strange race of people were first seen
by white men when the recent eXpedi-
tion under Capt c. G. Rawling pene-
trated into the heart Of the island.
Rawlings expedition comprised six
Englishmen and was sent out by the
British Ornithologists' union. Their OBJ
jective was a long range of snowy
mountains, called the Nassau range,
but between them and it lay 60 miles
of absolutely unexplored country and
of the most difficult kind to negotiate.
Dense forest covered most of it, inter-
sected with rivers which for one half
of the year were torrents and the other
half nearly dried up river beds.
The pigmies were first discovered
near the Kapare river, one of the i'm
mense streams which, rising in the
Nassau mountains, make their way
down to the sea. The Japanese sol
diers who accompanied Rawling as
bearers spied a couple of the little
pigmies one day in the hills. The pig
mics bolted at once, and an exciting
chase took place, which ended in
their being captured, and two days la,
ter more were surprised and surround
ed They proved to be sturdy men,
averaging about four feet, eight inches
high, and much better developed than
the tribes encountered in the plains
They were also Industrious, and de-
cidedly more intelligent. They had
neatly constructed huts, and after
some time it was discovered that they
had words in their language to denote
numerals up to ten, words entirely
lacking from the language of the
plainsmen. Although the most siren
uous search was made, only solitary
huts could be found. Strangely
enough, no children and only one
woman, who was being escorted to her
new home from her wedding, were
seen.

NEEDLE BOOK FOR THE PURSE
Useful Little Convenience That Calls
Only for Use of the Odds
and Ends.

Almost any of the scraps of pretty
silk or ribbon that are in the family
rag bag may be fashioned into a
needle book small enough to go into
the average sized purse without over
crowding that receptacle. At the in
ner side of one cover, which of course
is mounted over thin cardboard, should
be a tackled down sheet OF fine han-
mel in which may be stuck needles OF
several sizes, and at the inside OF the
opposite cover should be straps OF the
silk through which reels may be run.
These reels. formed of silk covered
matches or toothpicks, should be
wound with a few yards of black and
white sewing silk, black and white
linen thread, black, white or tan SILK
floss, and, thus equipped, the shopper
is prepared to repair any ordinary
mishap to her garb.

FOR GOOD FORM in DRESS
Something in Which a Woman Must
Be Her Own Judge in Most
Particulars.

It is hardly possible to put the whole
matter of good form in dress into a
series of stated rules, for it frequently
happens that over-dress is as much an
error of Judgment as dress of too in
formal character. Therefore, the sense
of exact proportion, perfect fitness for
the time. place and occasion is the i'm
portant element of good taste in dress.
There are instances in the life of ev-
cry man and woman, venture to say,
when the question Of just what to
wear was a more or less perpleXing
one. The exact hour; the object; the
character of the entertainment; the
manner of life and ideas of ones host
or hostess; the locality-all these en-
ter into the matter of dress-and
while in the great majority of cases
there can be no doubt whatever. in
others the question must be decided
entirely by circumstances and COM
mon sense. But it should always be
remembered in cases where there is
the least doubt that full dress is the
safe rule for an evening affair.-New
York Press.

That room is in the Castle OF st. An

Hadrian, in Rome. This famous
mausoleum, one CT the Oldest land
marks of the Eternal City, has been
greatly changed since its erection
more than seventeen centuries ago.
The original structure is almost hid
den by Notifications that have been
built around it; the cone of earth
which once crowned the top, planted
with evergreens, has given place to a
gilt angel sheathing sword; and the
interior has been stripped not only of
works of art that adorned it, but OF
much Of the very material used in its
construction that material having
been utilized for other buildings.
In 1900 the tomb was connected
with the Vatican by a subterranean

of st. Angelo, as it is now called,

worship in the world, and the Mecca
of pious pilgrims from all over the
globe, has also undergone various
transformations since the early days

ural bamboo fitted with boxes whose

overlaid with fine white linen. These
three boxes accommodate frocks, slips
