A GREAT throng of smartly dressed
~ people, New Workers, English and
people from the outside" world, gath
cred to watch the international polo
matches, arrayed in clothes that need
not fear any comparison. In the
games the English literally galloped
away with the trophy, and the Ameri-
cans took their defeat with a good ma
ture altogether admirable. But If
the occupants of the boxes and grand
stands might have been matched
against any other such c%oncourse, any
where, as to the excellence Of their
appareling, it is safe to say the New
Workers would have more than bela
their own.
The field was a cheerful spectacle,
with the stands packed with men In
light suits and straw hats, making a
suitable background for the gay tints
worn by the women in their summer
finery. The colors were soft, with
many white and a considerable num-
Der of black and white costumes In
evidence. Except for turquoise-blue
and bright green, nearly all colors
were so toned down in shade or 80
lightened to tint that hardly a trace
of the form r liking for the strong or
garish rem ned.
There was a liberal display of col
ored p~arasols, and these provided the
decided color notes. They were of

PUT MUCH FAITH IN GARLIC
Belief Among Physicians That 1t ls
Highly Efficient In Tubercu.
iosis.

Physicians on this side Of the At
lantic are experimenting with garlic
as a possible cure for the dreaded tu-
berculosis.
A Dublin doctor has been working
on the theory for some years past
with considerable success and has
published a book upon it, and although
it is too soon yet to tell Of results in
this country, it is being tried at the
Metropolitan hospital in New York.
1t is said that there is little tuber-
culosis in Italy, where garlic chewing
is a national habit, and that in this
country it is the Italian children who
have given up chewing garlic who sue
cumb to the great white plague"
Garlic contains a chemical substance
called allyl sulphide in the percent
age of two drops to a ~teaspoonful Of
juice, which is much stronger than
the amount of the same chem al
found in onions or shallots. It is this
drug which, it is claimed, destroys the
tubercular bacilli.
Garlic juice is said to act quick
ly upon tuberculosis, of the throat,
which heretofore has been almost i'm
possible to treat, and application of
the juice to lupus tuberculosis of the
skim has excellent results unless the
disease is of long standing.

HAD THE CAP AND MESSAGE
Monkeys Fun With Messenger Boy
Was Altogether one-sided for a
Period, at Least.

A clerk on the fifth floor Of the hall
of records at New York saw adark OBJ
ject fit by a window and opened the
window to investigate. AS he poked
his head out he saw a fairly large..
sized monkey chattering and scolding
from the next window sill. Down be.
low q crowd had gathered ypttracted
by the unusual sight, and Among the
most interested was a hatless mes
senger boy. His interest was explained
by the fact that he monkey held his
hat in its paws and seemed about to;
tear it up, number plate, and all
run along, sonny, and deliver your
message said a stout man, who was
among the watchers. "I,l stay till the
monkey is caught, and keep your cap
for you"
Oats all right" said the messen-
ger, "but de message Is in me cap.
The monkey ran from window to
window, trying toleyade the volunteers
who rapidly organized a pursuit and
finally captured 1t. It's collar bore the,
name of William II. BENJAMIN OF 5S
Pine street. Over the telephonerMr
BENJAMIN said he bought the animal
from a South American sailor recently,
and it had escaped by christening It's

to his home at Morristown, N. ]. Ms

ITCHING, BURNING ECZEMA

R. F. D. No. 1, Box Is, Corapeakes
N. C.-"My baby began with the ecze-
ma itching and burning. 1t broke out
all over his head and face, legs and
arms with little pimples. I did not
sleep any in about four months. He
cried and itched all night and day for
four months until his head and face
were matter all over. He was disfig-
ured badly. His clothing would be
difficult to remove at times.

cess at all and I had almost decided
there was no cure for it. I was told
by a friend that Cuticura Soap and
Ointment would cure it, / washed the
child with the Cuticura Soap and

for anyone else, to dispense with
stockings and sandals, but few people
care to avail themselves Of this prtVi-
lege. The feet are more comfortable
in light sandals. And stockings make
quite an important element In the
good effect Of the suit. 1t is an item
of style, this dressing Of the feet
properly. The cap, as the picture
shows, is quite an elaborate bit OF
headwear, quite different from the
simple pulled cap of rubber cloth
which preceded 1t.
But the pretty bit Of headwear pic
tured is hardly practical for the girl
that really swims. And she who dives
would be sure to leave 1t behind her
when she comes up. 1t Is all right for
those who only paddle about In the
water and stroll on the shore. For
real water sport the plain rubber cap
worn down over the ears and fitting
snugly about the head is the only one
that will keep the hair dry. or partly
dry.
Every year the Importance of teach
ing girls to swim looms up larger and
larger. And once the little ones form
a taste for the water it is easy for
them to learn, because they desire so
much to know how. Boys strike out
for themselves, usually, and soon mas
ter the art and enjoy themselves for
ever after.

ARE PUZZLE
Holes in Hills Near Tokyo Make
Psychologists Wonder.
Students Divided In OpInion-one Side
Says They Were Homes Of earth.
Spiders" the Other Calls
Them Beggars' Refuge.

The low bills around the village OF
Matsuyama, in the province of Saita-
ma, Japan, but a few hours journey
from Tokyo, are>honeycombed with
curious small caves which puzzle the
Psychologists. Students are divided
into two camps in their conclusions
about them. One side aver that they
are the ancient habitations Of the folk
known as tsuchigumo, or "earth-spi-
ders," who occupied japan before the
coming of the Amos. The other side
believes that they are sepulchers that
have at different times been the refuge
Of beggars or outlaws. Writes Eloise
Roorbach in Tie Technical World
Magazine: 1.-The caves, at first sight,
seen back Of an isolated group Of
cryptomeria trees and owe a matched
cottage, look much like a swallow
bank, The resemblance is more no
ttceable upon nearer approach, for
they are set close together in uneven
rows and consist of a horizontal pas
sageway ending in a roomy excava-
ton. They are on the south slope Of
the hills-a warm, sunny exposure for
winter weather. If the 'earth-spiders'
sat in their doorways, they could have
seen their enemies approaching over
the plain, while the latter weie still
a long distance away. The position Of
the caves is a strategic one, ami adds
a point In favor Of the habitatiop the
DRY. M
Though the caves vary In size,
their formation is the same. They
have a small, mo1elike entrance five
or six feet in depth, which expands In
to a chamber about six feet square
and five or six feet high, In the case
of the largef caves. Along either side
of the chamber is a ledge seven or
eight inches in height and fairly broad,
that may have been covered with dried
leaves or grass for a bed. Marks OF
the scraping-tools that dug the rock
out are still to be seen. To enter the
larger caves one must stoop most hum.
bly,, but to enter the smaller ones 1t
is necessary to get down on all, fours,
or to worm oneself in, serpentine fash
ion.
Doctor Tsuboi Of the Imperial uni
versity Of Japan uncovered, during six
months of excayating work, over two
hundred caves. No doubt many more,
and perhaps many important secrets
are still buried under the grass and
trees Of those gently sloping hills. In
some places the sandstone has disinte-
grated so that the roofs have fallen
in, but on the whole the caves present

SHIP LINES EAGER FOR CANAL
Six Established Companies Ready to
Make Regular Use Of Pana-
ma Waterway.

Washington.-Six established steam
ship lines have served notice upon the
Panama canal management Of their
intention to make regular use Of the
waterway. One vessel from the west
coast ports Of South America will be
at the Pacific gates Of the canal July
3, seeking to make her way to Liver
pool by that route, and start a fort
nightly service between Liverpool
and the west side Of South America.
An American steamship line operat-
ing four steamers on the Pacific side
and six on the Atlantic is awaiting
the opening of the canal to merge all
ten into a regular line between San
Francisco and New York.
Hawaiian sugar, which has begun
to come through the canal on barges,
being ,transshipped at either end, will
be carried in unbroken cargoes from
Honolulu to New York as soon as
Governor Goethals gives the word
that Regular steamships may use the
waterway.

"One hassock?" repeated the waiter,
with more than ordinary interest.
Then he fingered around the table,
brushing the tablecloth and rearrang-

got very red. Finally he came around
to Johns side and whispered:
