MINERS WIN THEIR POINT.
Will Test New Powder i'm Mines-Back
to Work Today.

Kansas City, Jan. S.-The 400
miners of the five mines operated by
the Wear Coal company in Crawford
county, Kansas, who struck Friday,
are to return to work today. A COM
mittee representing the miners and
another representing the Southwestern
Coal Operators association patched up
The controversy arose from a test
of new powder in the mines. The con-
tract provided that the miners should
purchase their powder from the COM
pany stores. An Independent powder
company gave each of the five mines
ten kegs of powder with which to
make tests of efficiency. When the
mine arrangements refused to permit
the powder to go into the mines the
men walked out. 1t was agreed that
the miners should use the new powder
for testing purposes.

I cotton stocking and paint as directed
 above, and cap the doll with a pointed 1 hat or a bonnet. It may be dressed or not preferred. Yarn or mereerized
 cotton may be used to decorate the seams and tassels and bells be fas-
 tened to the arms and legs. A ruff of
 ribbon finishes the neck and you have
 dolly that is warranted not to bump
 baby no matter how it is tossed about. These dolls may be made of any size; if they are wanted more than ten inch es long the stockings must be sewed together before they are cut out A doll eighteen inches long may be dressed in ready-made clothes of the size usually purchased for a. six months old child. If the boys insist on com ing with the girls with view to shar-. ing the refreshments to be served later a doll house and furniture; they will enjoy this, for they expect to be fa-+ thers when they grow up and they like to pretend even better than girls do.
 A John Chinaman doll is great fla vorite. He may be cut from canton flannel and his two-pfece dress made gorgeous with braid and beads Hei should be quite flat looking, when stuffed, with black ink eyes, hair and brows, and long pig tail of black yarn A Japanese lady in a kimono is an other easily fashioned dolly. With these hints ingenious girls just enter ing their teens should be able to fashion a whole bazaar full of rag dolls. As for the lunch, have hot choc- oIate and waters Or spice cakes, or choose one of the menus that are so simple that the girls can prepare it l without help:
 l. Bread and butter, cold meat sliced thin, pickles, cocoa.
 ?. Sweet sandwiches, fancy cakes, salted nuts, lemonade.

Girls who think they are too growr
 up to play longer with dolls cannot deny that their love for their old play I things is still keen. They will enjoy l a sewing bee where doll making is the I order of the hour, and results of thei1
 ninrble fingers may be sold for charity Or kept for little sisters Christmas 1 gift. You may make a family of dolls l including father, mother, auntie and
 the children, or you may have a school l teacher and her pupils.
 l A teacher is made over a rag body; 1 if small, hickory nut will do for the l head. A ruffled cap must cover the
 back of this, the face may be painted 1 with oil colors, her dress may be any 1 dark print, but a three cornered 'ker- | chief must be pinned across her sF1ouI- ders to hide the fact that she has no arms.
 Now for the pupils; bonnet wire is l used for the foundation. Cut it long enough so that when it is doubled the two ends may form the feet, and the
 bent top twisted to make the head
 Fasten another piece of wire beneath the head where the shoulders should be, cross ways, and let this form the shoulders, arms and hands.
 Wrap this skeleton with yarn, or strips of soft cloth, until you have a well shaped body. Pad the head with cotton and cover with white lawn Make braids of cord for the girls hair, and wigs of the same for the boys heads
 Paint the faces with water colors. make the carnaine cheeks first and color and set aside to dry. The brows and eyes and nose and mouth are first drawn in with hard pencil and then co1ored. The expressions will all bel different and may be serious or comic or pretty, according to the taste of the maker As these figures are of wire they may be bent to any position and are as well liked as the yarn dolls.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
MOUTH BREATHING.
BIZ BLANCHE BEACON

We see a great deal of 1.-the using
 of the mouth to breathe through-and l seldom if ever does anyone stop tc 1 think what it means. The mouth has | a great many uses-but not that one. i Some do it because of the somewhs:
 childish, tngenue expression it gives the mouth. Marie Doro, for instance l generally has her lips parted in her pictures.
 But the majority of us do it because we are lazy.
 In fits of abstraction we drop our jaws, hang out our tongues, and as- sume otherwise inane expressions Ii would seem to me-speaking of ex- pressions-that if the mouth -breather could get a, look at herself in an un- guarded moment she would take the pledge. It is the ugliest thing imagtn- able, when one ceases eternal vigil ance for one moment.
 The nostri1S are provided with min ute hairy appendages for catching the dust and all foreign matter that may and does enter them. The mouth has none of these protectors Any infec- mouth is carried by speedy channels to the throat, and thence to do it's deadly work in the body.
 Adenoids are directly traceab1e to the habit of mouth breathing.
 Besides, it slowly but surely spells the shape of the mouth. I have in mind right now a couple of charming young girls who are twins. One of them got into the habit of using her mouth to breathe through, and the result, when she is near her more sen sible sister, is decidedly apparent.
 These things I see and know Con sider, for instance, how babies, when it is discovered that they use their mouth for breathing, are fitted up with sort of harness to close thel
