Fun For the Riddles,

How many mothers know that chill
dren can be entertained by making
animals" with vegetables two or
more), a handful of toothpicks, half a
dozen cloves and a few allspice to use
for eyes, a carrot. a radish and an on
ion, together with a few currants or
~raisins, some dried fruits and other
things that are available? Let the
child decide what kind of animal he
wishes to make. You might suggest
the toothpicks be used for legs. wings
and tail and the vegetable be the body.
A turtle may be made by using the
cloves for legs and a raisin for the
body. A small piece of white radish
with a long row of broken toothpicks
sticking on both sides looks like a
thousand legged bug. If this game be
used at parties prizes should be given
to the youngster who makes the best
looking animal, while the tot making
the poorest might be given a trife to
pay him for the effort made. Let the
children guess the names of the ami
mails and the third gift be given to
the n who guesses the most in the
exhibit.

SOUTH AMERICAN SAvAGES.
A Tribe That Represents the Lowest
Type of Civilization.

In his book, 1.-The Roosevelt-Rondon
Scientific Expedition" Mr.. L. e. Miller
describes a primitive tribe known as
the Nhambiquara, who probably repre-
SEN the lowest type of civilization to
be found anywhere On the South Amer
lean continent.
las we drew up on the river bank
the natives gathered about and stared
at us c%uriously, but betrayed no hos
tile feelings. Colonel Rondon had but
recently succeeded in establishing am
icable relations with them. On his first
visits to the country numbers of his
men had been slain by their poisoned
arrows, and they had resented his ev-
cry step into their stronghold; but, hav-
ing been persistently treated with kind
ness, they have learned to look upon
him as a friend and always glad to see
him.
I'm stature the Nhambiquara are

strings of beads that they had received
from Colonel Rondon.
Their huts, or malocas. are rude
structures of grass or leaves. and they
cultivate small areas of mandioca, but
wild fruits, game and wild honey form
the principal articles of their diet. Both
in hunting and in warfare they use

Some Beauty Hints.

Lack of sleep affects a woman's looks
at once. Woman is supposed to re-
quire eight hours sleep. Five excel
lent rules for health and beauty are
to eat enough, but not too much; drink
only water, walk two or three miles a
day, sleep eight hours and SANDER new
er. Fruit is a beautifier and should
be taken daily. A diet Of oranges will
clear muddy compilations and reduce
stoutness.
Sufficient sleep is more conducive to
good looks than any artificial means
yet discovered by the beauty doctors.
If you would keep your eyes bright
and your face unlined obey the eight
hour law of sleep and get more if pos
sible.

SALT AS A LUXURY.
In Most European Lands 1t Is Dear
and Used Sparingly.

Along many parts of the Brittany
coast where the land is low you may
see the sea salt industry being ear
ried on on a large scale. In the Unit
ed States salt is cheaply produced at
inland points by evaporation from salt
water pumped from deep wells, but in
most of the countries of Europe the
bulk of the salt which is consumed is
made by the evaporation of sea water.
Sea salt is not so pure as salt which
is produced from wells, as it contains
a percentage of salts of magnesium,
potassium and lime, with traces of
iodine and other elements in addition
to the sodium chloride which is the
desired substance. But it answers the
purpose about as well.
The sea water is let into great shall
low basins or ponds at high tide, the
flow being controlled by gates. The
sun, which shines very powerfully on
the south Breton coast, gradually evap-
crates the water, and the brine be-
comes constantly stronger. More wa
ter is let in from time to time until q
certain point of s%aturation is reached,
and then the water is allowed to dry
up, and the salt is left behind as a
thin crust or coating on the bottom of
the ponds.
The salt is then gathered by means
of rakes and scoops. In this form, of
course. it is very impure, for in taking
1t up a large amount of dirt is taken
up with it. 1t is piled up, and in due
course the action of the rain and
weather serves to filter out most of
the dirt, and the salt is left in fairly
pure condition.
AS you go along through the salt
districts you will see hundreds of these
white piles of salt, containing perhaps
a ton or so each. The crude salt is
finally taken to mills, where it is put
through refining processes and made
ready for market.
Salt brings high prices in most Eu-
ropean countries. 1t is such a luxury
that the people have to be sparing of
1t. You might wonder why this is
when Europe has such a huge coast
line and all that is necessary is to let
the sea water eyaporate under the in
iuence of Old Sol to produce all the
salt any one could want.
But here is where the law steps in,
The government assumes that the sea
Is its property, and it will not allow
ordinary citizens to make salt from il
or in fact make any other private use
of it without a license.
Poor fishermen in Turkey were put
In prison because they boiled sea wa
ter and made their own salt. This IL
licit making of salt vas against the
law, just as the making Of spirituous
liquor without a proper license from
the government is against the law in
this country.

The Erenohwoman and Hats.

1t is said to take much less money
to start a millinery shop in France than
in England, because it is not necessary
to the French milliner to carry a stock
of trimmed hats. The Englishwoman,
it seems, cannot buy a hat or anything
else without seeing it completely fin
ished. The Frenchwoman has imagi-
nation enough to picture the completed
article to herself and knows just how
she will look in it.-New York Tribune.

COTTON MARKET IS QUIET

Fall River, Mass, Dec. 17.-Business
was quiet in the cotton goods markets
of New England last week: in fact, il
vas one of the quetest weeks in over
two years. Buyers were apathetic in
their purchases and appeared TO be in
different 10 trading at all. What bust
ness was done was confined mostly to
spots.
There was fair demand for wide
goods of various constructions, but the
quantity OF goods which mills had to
offer was small, especially when it came
70 immediate deliveries. The narrow
end of the market was very quiet, in
keeping with conditions in the wide di-
vision Of the markets.
The raw cotton markets gave manu-
facturers some little concern last week,
prices going lower than in the previous
week.
There was very little new business
put through in the cotton yarn markets
last week; the fluctuations in cotton
had nothing to do with the small
amount of business done. IL is long
time since dealers in cotton had so
small supplies on hand as they now
have. Spinners have all the orders
which they can handle. and on this ac-
count are not disturbed over the quiet
now prevailing.
The total sales OF cloth for the week
are estimated at 20, 900 pieces, OF which
about 10000 pieces are spots. The week
closed with the demand very light and
prices showing weakness in spots.

fair. They Say

Arguments for the retention Of the
pneumatic tube mail service IN New
York City were advanced by che Mer-
chants Association Of New York in
its bulletin issued to-day. In an srti-
Gle discussing Postmaster General
Burleson's recommendation OF the
substitution Of automobile service, Il
was alleged that the committee Of
postofice officials, upon whose report
Mr.. Burleson based his recommended
ton. ignored many important factors
bearing on the situation and misrep-
resented numerous facts.
It was pointed out that the govern
ment made profit Of almost $4,000
600 a year from the Postal Depart
ment IN New York City. The cost 70
the government Of the pneumatic tube
service. il was stated, was less than
$500 1000 yearly. The postal receipts
I'm this city were S36.9O4.3O4.5 a year
and the expenditures only Sli,363-
1888. The business men Of the city,
the bulletin stated, contcnded that out
OF this s22.54l.15716 profit the govern
mcnt could well afford 20 give pneu-
matte tubes. In view Of the money
the government made on the city, they
held that they were entitled TO every
facility that might promote the
prompt movement of mail.
"The statements made by the Com
mittee Of Postal Experts said the
article in the bulletin, "are challenged
as not only unfair, but in many in
stances entirely false"
Il was asserted that many Difficult
ties were thrown in the way OF the
opponents Of Mr. Burleson's plan.

and requests that the poStmasters Of
