HEDGEHOGS AS CLEANERS

Backwoodsmen when in camp dur
ing the winter, entertain many strange
guests-hedgehogs among them. One
woodsman, on leaving camp on q Sat
urday afternoon, used to neglect, pur-
posely to close the door of his shack
in order that the hedgehogs might en-
ter and clean his floor
Inasmuch as the principal constitu-
ents of the camp menu are pork and
beans, bacon and other dishes rich in
fat, considerable grease is spilled upon
the floor in the course Of week, and
a hedgehog will risk his neck at any
time for a bit OF fat.
Just as soon, therefore, as this par
ticular camp was deserted by it's oc-
cupants the spiny gluttons would
hasten in and begin to plane off the
surface Of the floor with their chisel
shaped teeth, eating away al the
wood that held trace of grease. On
his return to camp the owner could
sweep up and enjoy the comforts Of
a clean house for another week
The only serious objection to this
method of house cleaning lay in the
sact that it was necessary to lay new
camp floor rather frequently.

STRONG MEXICAN PORTERS

The men of Mexico, though small,
are wiry and strong. most of the
strength, however, lies in the shout
ders. Their arms, to use the language
of another, are little better than sea
lions fiippers." But when it comes
to muscles up and down the back.
they show an amazing capacity for
transporting burdens. Two men will
transport a heavy piano between
them, each balancing an end of the
instrument upon his shoulders. Thou
sands OF tons Of mining machinery
and other equipment have been trans
ported up and over the mountains of
Mexico on hanback,. Merchants and
other business men in Mexico often
on moving day make use of the coolie
and his iron-like back in preference
to donkeys or drays. For one thing
it is cheaper. For a few cents the
Mexican coolie will lend bis back to
the strain of all that can be piled
upon it. A dozen or more chairs is
considered small load. The burden
is secured and held in place by a strap
passing across the forehead.

ABOUT THE H0LBElN FIGURE
Women Must Accept the Unrestricted
Natura! Lines of the BodyIn
New Clothes. -

In connection with the discussion
Of the so-called corsetless figure, #
may be noted that the lines of the
natural, supple figure are more notice
able in the evening gowns than in the
street toys. Women may refuse to
adopt the Holbein figure for the
street. but they will be forced to
accept it in effect in the majority of
the new evening frocks. The coutu-
riers have been, advising the homeless
tricot corsets for the evening for sew

have taken more advanced step
they have forced them on their Gus.
toners by designing frocks that give
the effect Of lightly corseted figure.
There are many ways Of leading d
woman in the way one would wish
her to go, and few are unknown to

Since the decision of the french

PECULIAR HOBBY OF A KING

The late king of Siam had an ex-
traordinary hobby-that Of collecting
empty match boxes OF all nations. In
this connection an interesting story is
related. During one of his visits to
England the king. while passing down
Bond street one afternoon. accompan-
led by two members of his suite, es.
pied an empty match box, which had
been discarded by its owner aud
thrown away into the middle OF the
thoroughfare.
Without moments thought the
monarch dashed into the middle OF the
crowded traffic, grasped the much
coveted treasure, and was nearly run
over by passing cab. The fact, how.
ever, that he was able to add new
specimen to his collecion-ga gathered
in such OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES than
compensated him for the risk which
he had run.

FROM the salon OF a gifted designer
graceful gown. 1t is worth much
study as an exposition of present
styles, without any departure from
beautiful outlining of the figure and
the best management Of fashionable
fabrics with brocaded surfaces. Any
of the dark rich colors of the season
-taupe, corbleu, paprika, wood and
golden browns. sapphire blue.
The skirt is in two pieces, with the
uppemost cut away from the knees
downward in "V' shape. 1t is
draped with three small plaits to give
1t the fashionable SLANT, and posed
over an under piece that is also
caught up little at the front. This
under piece is not closed at the back,
and by this arrangement the skirt,
which seems TO hang in so closely
about the ankles, still gives room for
easy walking.
There is no attempt at even hanging
about the bottom of skirts these days.
They are correctly draped when the
uneven-hanging caused by drapery is
allowed to speak for itself as n part
Of the play. There is bodice of bro
caded silk under small coat of cloth
like that in the skirt. It has a grace
full neck round, with q narrow "v"
cut out at the front. A fine net
guimpe is worn under 1t. which is

arm. A fine frill OF point dEsprit

les and no signs of Keep OFF the
Grass" In fact there is no grass to
keep off, for the region is one of
sandy aridity. The toadstools are
formed of sandstone, thu under por-
tons having been eaten away by wind
and weather, leaving caps which make
the rocks resemble huge toadstools or
mushrooms. The park" is several
acres in extent and is g part of the
formation constituting the bad
Lands" of the Dakotas. At remote
geologic period this entire area was
covered by layer of this soft sand
stone many hundred feet in thickness,
but the great bulk of it has been worn
and washed way during the slow prog
ress of the ages until only relatively
small portions now remain as natural
wonders. This singular region was a
generation or more ago infested by
stage robbers and other bad men"
who utilized this uninhabited portion
of the country as a retreat.

IN THE PRISON OF SILENCE

Entombed in grim castle on the
outskirts Of Lisbon are some of the
most miserable men on earth. These
are inmates of Portugal's Prison of
Silence" u this building everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
render the lives of it's prisoners hor-
rible, maddening torture is done. The
corridors, piled tier on tier five stories
high, extend from a common center
like the spokes of huge wheel.
The cellars are narrow, tomb.like
and within each stands coffin. The
attendants creep about in felt slippers
The silence is that of grave. Once
a day the cell doors are unlocked and
the half a thousand wretches march
out, clothed in shrouds and with faces
covered by masks, for it is part of this
hideous punishment that none may
look upon the countenance OF his fell
low-prisoners. Few Of them endure
this torture for more than ten years.

flowers there is nothing that looks
quite as fit" on the young girl as
pearls. The ornament shown here
is made of two strands of pearl beads
strung on fine wire. They are strung
in links, joined by large barouque
pearl beads, placed between the links
The band extends across the top of
the head and terminates q little below
the top of the ears at each side. 1t is
fastened to place with hair pins.
At the left side there are three loops
of the pearls strung on wire and two
hanging ends and knot formed of
pearl beads strung on heavy thread
and set less close together than in
the band, so that they fall easily.
The couture is very simple-even
for young girl. As il all the pres
ent designs, the ears are covered. The
front hair is aurled and f1uffed about
the face The back hair is braided in
loose strands and pinned fiat to the
head
This hair dress is appropriate for

SO pretty for the girl with very dark
hair or for her who has the splendid
Titan" locks. Although very dark
hair, and what is called red hair, are
so unlike, the same styles of couture
are suited to them both. They must
do the hair in soft masses. insist upon
its being glossy and refuse to con-
slider fiuHiness or anything approach

But no matter what the hue Of her
hair or eyes or skin-the maid may
wear pearls. They look we'll and more
than that on youthful heads of any
color. e..

T Providing the long shoulder, the
small coat blouses over the belt line

narrow basque sloping away over the
hips and falling almost to the knees.
1t is finished with very wide and
heavy fringe and is wonderfully efec.
tive. 4...a -.
Similar coats slope away to a panel
at the back, finished at the ends with
a broad band of fur or plush. This
finish has proved more popular than
the fringe.
A hat~with some width of brim is,
fitting with a gown of so much char
acter, and that is what was chosen.
1t has the small, soft crown, which al.
most effaces itself, and the simple
trimming which characterizes the sea-
son. Two short full ostrich heads or
a fancy ostrich ornament are curled
over the brim. in models of this kind,
and the brim usually shows an linden
tation at one side. 49,. 800.
The front of the under bodice is ar
ranged to fall out over the waist line
and is a novelty In arrangement that
is noteworthy. Altogether this is an
achievement in designing SO good that
it will outlive less beautiful models
and look we'll for two seasons or
more. The, life of pretty gowns. most
of them costing considerable time and
some money, should not be so brief
that the time spent in making them is
not worth while. u -. .

BAN PUT ON MILITARY DRUM

It was some time ago that, acting
upon the recommendations embodied
in a report by military commission.
the French government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
er necessary article of military equip
ment. The report set forth that the
drum was a serious encumbrance in
marching; that rain impaired it's use
fulness; that its calls could not be
distinguished in time Of battle; that 1t
