Answering the question, will you
please explain how a person is lifted
by four persons placing their index
fingers under his shoulders and legs
by means of slight lifting force at
time of inhaling a long breath by each
person and by the person about to be
lifted?" Edgar Lucien Larkin in the
New York American says:
Il have been asked this question
many times. If a person actually has
been lifted and those doing the lifting
think that the law of gravity is a

OF lifting is concerned. They act.
ually lift far more than they think
but they will not admit this, as they
are partly self hallucinated In the be-
lief that the body of the person will
rise. And If they really succeed in
lifting the man two inches they think
it is a foot. Auto hallucination ia 9

dresses with sprays or single blossom
of small flowers, Powered ribbon cir
dies and vests, parasols with millinery
flowers added for adornment, or with
flowers printed in the coverings. A
little study of the styles will betray
the tendency to the quaint old-fash-
toned ideas in which flowers were the
paramount means of expression in U.s.
ing color. Nothing prettier has aver
been thought out.
The little gown pictured is not at
all difficult to make. 1t is an "easy-
going" fit but must be draped and
hung correctly. Almost any pattern
house can provide a paper pattern
for guidance in cutting this dress.
More material is required this season
than for the past two.
F1ounces and hip draperies r to
the fore, but it is not likely that we
shall go to extremes in the matter Of
growing fond of voluminous skirts.
The narrow band Of fur which fin
ishes the bodice on the gown pictured
can be omitted for spring or summer
wear. But If the gown is made for
wear in southern winter resorts this
narrow border of fur appears on the
sheerest of m~aterials-as lace, net and

nut OF the congIomeration of styles
which the beginning Of winter
ushered in, many are passing and a
few are to remain for spring. Here
is a pretty and rather plain cloth
gown for present wear, which may be
copied in taffeta silk, figured or plain
wolfe (or BOTH, in white embroidered
fabrics-in fact, in any of the beauti-
full summer materials. 1t will be found
strictly up to date when the time

A very pretty development of it
shows a plain skirt, quite full enough
to step in at the normal stride, with
the hip drapery made of figured wolfe
having a white ground with colored
overs. The bodice Is made of this
wolfe combined with shadow lace.
There is a girdle of leaf green MESA
line ribbon and a sash which extends
about the figure under the drapery
and ties in a bow Cat the right side)
with short hanging ends. These pref
ty voiles sell at a very reasonable
price-in the neighborhood of forty
cents a yard-and make up into as
elegant looking dresses as those that
cost four or five times as much.

the water, and then, just as a crash
was imminent, with powerful strokes
of their oars sharply turned the boat
at a right angle.
81 suppose it's the only way to get
by safely" Mr.. Cutting said, but, be-
lieve me, it is full of thrills at first.
The first time l shot the rapids in Bo-
livia ] absolutely gave up all hope.
But we went through so many
rapids that at last l could sit in the
boat smoking a pipe and scarcely feel
a qualm."
Mr.. Cutting began his journey into
the wilds of Bolivia by floating down
the Madidi river alone on a balsa or
small raft made of seven cabbage wood
logs from four to six inches in d.
ameter. The river had never been
travelled by a white man before and,
narrating his experiences, Mr.. Cutting
said:
81 camped one night on a sandbar
and was awakened early in the morn
ing by a terrific noise in the woods. A
tapir, which had come to the river for
a drink, was frightened by my fire and
was running away. When anything
frightens these animals they run in a
straight line at a tremendous speed
and pay no attention to small trees or
brushwood. The noise they make
breaking off branches and tearing up
trees is simply indescribable. Their
skin is at least a quarter of an inch
thick and nothing seems to injure
them"
OF the uncivilized Indians in the in
terror Mr.. Cutting said:
They count only to six and then
add one for each thing in excess Of
that number. For example, seven
beads they will speak of as six and
one Thirteen would be two skies and
one. They sleep in the sand without
any covering, build houses woven from
palm leaves that are mosquito proof
and wear no clothes except on special
occasions. They bury their dead,
adorned with feathers, on the sand
bars in the rivers.
Natives See a White Man.
They take names for themselves
from trees, fruits, animals and other
things of nature, and their vocabulary
is very limited. They use very few
words in conversation, but make them
selves understood to each other by
gestures and motions of their eyes,
mouths, hands and feet. l was treated
very well by them. They called ne
papa and wanted to feed me on cane
and ripe bananas, their delicacies. all
the time. They seemed to think l was
some sort of superman, for they had
never seen a white man before"
Mr.. Cutting saw "clicha," the ma.
tional beverage of the country, in all
stages of manufacture.
1T is made from corn" said Mr..
Cutting, by a process not pleasant to
think of, but it is very palatable, with
a sharp taste not unlike sweet cider.
In making it the Indians take corn
meal, previously ground between
stones, and chew as much as their
mouths will hold for Is CT 20 minutes.
After a bowlful has been ejected. from
their mouths they add water and allow
the substance to ferment, after which
1t is boiled for several hours and al
lowed to ferment again. 1t requires
eight days to make the drink and
when it is finished it is very strong"

contended that it didn't use the pic
