RARE ADDITION TO MUSEUM
Specimens of Congo Game, Insects
and Snakes Collected by Member
of the Staff.

The bongo and okapi are animals
only in museums, after they are
stuffed. They are extremely rare
both inside and outside of museums
and the American Museum of Natural
History is shortly to be enriched by
mounted specimens of both, along
with some $4,000 African insects, 1900
snakes and 10000 catalogued subjects
Of all kinds. The collection is the
result of six years work in the Bel
gian Congo by Herbert Lang of the
museum staff. Among the 10000 spec
linens are $500 examples of imple
savage arts and crafts, including the
art of living. Tie number Of speci
mems is so large that one is moved
to wonder what the natives had left
to sell to the next explorer after Mr.
Lang had finished his collection. The
okapi is a zebralike animal, very
timid. and only two or three white
men have ever seen it. Mr.. Lang cap
tured baby okapi, which had been
deserted by it's mother on the ap-
preach of tie hunters. The baby got
along we'll until the supply of milk
gave out, and then it's pelt was added
| to the collection. Beside the bongo
and ol1api skins the collection includes
skins of the giant Gland, white rhi.

Down the steep slopes of the pass
dashes in turbulent foam the Fontaine

this pass came the Utes in the winter
to fight the Cheyennes on the plains,

Cheyepnes to return the compliment

DECORATING A GIRLS ROOM
Furnishings Should Be Kept Simple
and of Such Material That They
May Be Easily Cleaned.

The decorations and furnishings in
a girls room should be kept simple.
The curtains, hangings, dresser scarfs
and pin-cushions, even the toilet ar
ticles, should all be Of such material
that they may be cleaned easily.
Thin, sheer materials make the
daintiest covers for dressers and ia
bles, while the side curtains may be
Of heavier cretonne or linen over thin
white muslin. Toilet articles of eel
luloid are in better taste than those
Of heavily embossed, plated silver,
which become furnished.
The woodwork is always incest
when painted cream-white, while the
floor should be either stained or paint
ed, and covered with a large rug or
small ones. Rag rugs are as fitting
as any floor covering, and they come
in lovely colors. You may sew the
rags and have the rugs woven to or
der, and obtain just the shades de-
sired by having dyed the colors your
self. The walls may be papered in a
plain, striped or Powered paper, or
tinted, or even painted, in clear, flax
tone. Plain ceilings are always most
restful, and If figured walls are pres
emit 1t Is best to have the hangings
plain also.

him. SNOWFALL walked across the barn
and back to the curtain and then gave
a spring and landed on all four feet.
But what was the matter with his
hind legs? They felt queer and he
could not move them. Puff pushed him
behind the curtain TIE audience ap-
plauded and called for SNOWFALL, but
he could not walk. His hind legs were
held fast by the stick.
Puff and Kit were smiling and bow
ing and getting all the glory out in
front. What should he do? And what
had happened? He put his nose around
and felt something sticky. Then he
knew Puff and Kit had put glue on
the stick and it was stuck fast to his
fur. They had crippled him that they
might be in front of the curtain alone
to receive the applause and congratu-
lations of the audience.
Poor SNOWFALL! He licked and licked
at the stick, but by the time he had
moved the sticky hobble the cats and
kittens had gone.
SNOWFALL went into the house and
stretched himself behind the kitchen
stove to think over his unjust treat
ment, and how he could punish Puff
and Kit for the trick they had played
on him.
