NATURAL BORN HUNTERS.
Brazilian Natives Are Only RivaIed by
Those of Australia.

If you want to find a thoroughbred
sportsman you must look among the
natives of the Brazilian forests Espe-
cially among the BotOcudo, to whom
tracking game is the chief business Of
his life He does it with such skill
that he fills the white man with awe
and wonder.
However enthusiastic a huntsman
you are YOU will feel yourself a poor
sportsman after watching him for a
little while. The BotocudO hunter
glides stealthiIy through the forest.
He understands every sign and habit
Of bird and beast He knows how
high up an armadillo displaces the
leaves Of a tree in passing. He can
distinguish the tracks Of the snake
and the tortoise He can follow the
tortoise to it's burrow by the scratches
Of its scaIy armor on the mud. His
sense Of smell is so keen that it helps
him a great deal in hunting. Hidden
behind the trunk Of a tree be can i'm
itate the cries Of birds and beasts to
bring them within range Of his deadly
poisoned arrow. He can even entice
the alligator by making her rough eggs
crate together where they lie under
leaves on the river bank. If be shoots
at an ape and the animal does not fall
he will climb up after the animal by a
hanging creeper where no white man
would climb. However dark the for
est, he is Indifferent to this darkness.
Laden with his bag Of game he finds
his way back to his hut by the sun
and the lay Of the ground.
His only rival is the Australian ma
tive. He will lie in wait behind a
screen of boughs. He waits until the
kangaroo comes to drink, or be will
track him for days in the open. He
will camp by his fire to be ready for
his pursuit at early dawn. He keeps
unseen to leeward.
When a number hunt together they
will put up a brush fence in two long
wings, converging toward a pit and so
drive the kangaroos into it. They also
form great hunting parties for a bat
tue surrounding half a mile Of BUSH
land, and with shouts and clatter they
drive all the game to the center, where
they can close round and dispatch
them with spears and waddies In
fowling they show the same adroit-
ness. A native will swim under wa
ter, breathing through a reed. He
merely covers his head with water
weed till he gets among a flock Of
ducks. which one by one he pulls I'M
der and tucks into his belt. They
rarely need to make use of dogs in
hunting, though they had learned this
way of hunting long before the white
man knew anything about it, They
used the dingo or native dog.-Chicago

BEAUTIFUL NOSES.
They Are Very Rare, 1t Seems, and
Deserve Honorable Mention.

deserve honorable MencIOns
Lovely eyes you will find a-plenty,
and, though finely cut mouths are
Scarcer, it will be a strange day when
you do not see several. But the dis
covery of a really beautiful nose is an
event of a lifetime. | myself have
found exactly seven. And yet l con
slider myself catholic in my taste for
noses. | can enjoy q nose for its
mere eXpreSSiveneSS, whether it is ag-
gressive or ariStOcratic or humorous
But it is amazing how seldom this
feature really satisfies the eye. The
bridge may be too thick or too high,
the line from the forehead too abrupt
or too severely straight. More often a
nose that is really promising in its be-
ginning fails in the end. 1t keeps on
too long or not long enough, while the
tip finds a dozen ways to err, and
fine nOstril is rarely seen. In our
typical American faces, Overcrowded
with features as our houses are with
furniture. the nose is commonly dis
propOrtionately large.
But your really beautiful nose is a
delight in every way. It is as far from
sharpness as from coarseness. 1t shows
strength without obtrusiveness, deli
cacy without fastidiOusness, breeding
without arrogance. 1t suggests humor,
spirit and daring. But l tell you can
didly that there are not more than 100
such in the 100000 noses of New York.
You are lucky when one happens to
come your way.-Atlantic Monthly.

LOST IN A GLACIER.
Fate of Prospector Who Slipped Into
Crevasse In Alaska

Crevasse In Alaska.
''In the winter of 1882" said Rob-
ert G. Losey, Il was one of a party OF
prospectors in Alaska. We were cross
ing the Rampant mountains, in central
Alaska, on the way to Quail creek,
from which locality had come reports
OF great gold find. A member Of an
other party near us, in going over the
mountains, had broken through a crust
Of sand and gone down into the Gre
vase of glacier.
He had gone down a distance OF
thirty eight or forty feet, where he had
lodged. We could not see him, but
we heard him and we talked with him.
We tried to reach him with rope and
finally tied pick to the end of the
rope, hoping to bring him out. He ask
ed US to quit pulling on the rope; that
we were making his position worse.
He finally pleaded with us, his voice
growing fainter and fainter, to go away
and leave him.
"He evidently was freezing, not, as we
have heard, a painful death. and he did
not want to be bothered. He gave us
his name; said be was tifty-four years
old and told us to notify his folks at
some town in Missouri. We stayed
there Until we could hear his voice no
longer
HE certainly made record of being
the coolest man, and then he froze to
death. "-IDdianapolis News.

HAIR ON FACE
NECK AND ARMS
WHAT CAUSES 1T

Nature does not produce coarse,
stubborn growths of superfluous hair.
They are caused by the unwise use of
so-called hair removers.
The only way to gain control of
such growths is to devitalize them. 1t
is impossible to accomplish this re-
suit with pastes and ruL-on prepare
tons because they only remove hair
from the surface of the skin. DeMir-
acle, the original liquid depilatory, de-
vitalizes hair by attacking 1T under
the skin as wen as on the skin
limitations Of DeMiracle are as
worthless as pastes and rub-on prepa-
lions because they lack certain ingre-
dients tht DeMiracle alone contains
which give it the power to rob hair of
its vitality-its life-sustaining force.
Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and
you will get the original liquid hair re-
mover. Others are worthless imita-
tions-refuse them. DeMiracle is sold
in three sizes, soc, S1.00 and $500 bot
ties. The larger sizes are the most
economical for dermatologists and
large users to buy. If your dealer will
not supply you buy bottle at Glen
Thistlethwaite's drug stores or order
direct from us. The truth about the
treatment of superfluous hair mailed
in plain sealed envelope on request.
