WOMEN DON 7

Tacoma club women and the
school authorities do not look
with favor on the plan of the
Carnival association to have high
school girls on the street selling
Montamara pins and only such
girls and hoys as individually de-
sire to take up the work will
therefore be enlisted. Each one
selling will get commission of
10 cents on pin and there will
be chance to make quite little
money

The late Admiral Robley d. Evans
during his visit to Japan was received
by Mutsuhito and his empress at a

stead, l received a handshake from a

According to the Moorish idea Of
beauty, the chief charm Of a beautiful
woman is that she can only waddle,
not walk. The fatter she is the more
beautiful she is considered. If she can
attain two or three hundred pounds Of
flesh she is the envy Of all her sex.
The Moorish shape-if shape it can
be called-approaches the perfection Of
feminine beauty when it resembles, or
rather exceeds. the circumference Of
a barrel.
What a paradise for the fat womanl
There she can eat and drink and feast
to her hearts content. denying herself
nothing, living an easy. indolent, luxuri-
u life, with no horror Of accumulat-
ing fat, but rather rejoicing in it.
There the ambition Of a woman Is to
acquire bulk. Physical culture she
would regard as an enemy to beauty,
and to take Turkish baths and diet
herself would be considered the height
Of folly. She wants to be beautiful.
and to be beautiful she must be fat

In Borneo winged creatures are e.
countered where one would least ex-
pect them. Flying fish the size Of her
rings are found I'm all the waters, and
there is the flying fox, the well known
fruit eating bat. which the Malays call
~'kruang." They may be seen almost
any evening wlnging their steady
flight often at a great elevation well
out Of range Of a shotgun. The flying
squirrels as evening twilight comes
are also seen. They glide down from
one lofty tree to the base Of another,
up which they scramble to the level
they started from. Wide expansions
Of skin between the fore and hind
limbs act In parachute fashion and
sustain them In their glide. They are
of some size. but are quite harmless.
The flying lizard is seen in the neat Of
the day In the jungle gliding down
with n flash in much the same manner
as the squirrel. But he is much small
er and 1t requires a quick eye to de-
tect him. The natives kill him with a
clay ball shot from their blowpipes.-

There are certain large sea spiders
two feet from toe to toe, called Collo-i
sendeis gigas, that live in the water
and feed entirely upon mollusks and
worms.
The c%arnivorous wolf spider, an am
phibious inhabitant Of the tropical re-
gions Of South America, is said to pre-
fer a fish diet, though It is not averse
to eating mice, young birds and even
snakes, resembling in this respect the
theraphosidae, or bird catching spiders,
Of India and Queensland. some Of
which equal a rat in size.
The co~llosendeis is the most formida-
Bile specimen of the spider family,
measuring six inches around the body
and possessing twelve long, hairy legs,
with which it grips its inny prey. 1t
attacks fish several times larger than
itself and after biting them through
the back and stinging them to death
gluts itself by sucking the juices from
the bodies of its victims.

The origin Of the state arms Of South
Carolina is thus given in the histories;
"On June %. 1776, a force Of less than
100 Carolinians. under command of
Moultrie. protected by the rude forti-
fcation of Sullivan's island. in Charles
ton harbor, made Of the trunks Of the
palmetto, repulsed the attack Of a Brit
ish fleet under command Of Sir Peter
Parker, and when the state OF South
Carolina was organized the state seal,
which vas first used in May, 1777, was
made to commemorate this victory. A
palm tree growing erect on the sea-
shore represents the strength of the
fort, while at its base an oak tree, torn
from the ground and deprived Of its
branches, recalls the British feet built
OF oak timber, overcome by the pal
metto."

An African hunter once found a
large crocodile hanging in the fork OF
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
As the place was fully half a mile
from any water 1t was difficult to ac-
count for the ~crocOdile's strange posi-
ton. When questioned about the sub
iect the natives explained that It was
put there by an elephant. It seems
that when the elephants wade into
the Lake Ngami to battle the croco-
diles are In the habit Of worrying
them and biting their legs. Some
times when an elephant is annoyed
beyond endurance it picks up its tor
mentor in It's trunk. places it among

Though the average age Of Spaniards
is among the lowest in Europe-thirty-
two years and four months. against
fifty years in Sweden and Norway
yet Spain remains the land Of hundred
year-old people.
South Of the Sierra Moreno there
are fifty to sixty a hundred years old
In every million inhabitants. In Ma
laga and other parts Of Andalusia 100
hundred-year-olds are reckoned In
every million inhabitants. And when
a Spaniard once attains that age he
usually hangs on to life for ten to If
teen years longer.

How catsrplIIars Build.

Many clever caterpillars which dwell
habitually in company build a common
nest for the common benefit. OF these
is the famous American tent caterpil-
lar. The tents are really nests Of silk
spun among leaves and twigs. In them
the caterpillars dwell when young, and
to them they resort for shelter In rainy
weather even when larger grown. AL
lied species which pass through the
winter I'm the caterpillar state con-
struct winter sleeping quarters which
the bookish folk call hibernaculums.
These are often conspicuous among the
branches during the cold months Of the
year. If torn open they reveal a sur
prising thickness Of spun silk, forming
a dense nOnconductive wall. At the
center Of the mass lie from thirty to
fifty tightly packed c%aterpillars waiting
for the return Of the warm weather,
when they will resume their feeding.
