AiredsIe Dog for Several Years Main
tanned Wild Predatory State In
the Yellowstone Park.

An instance of a dogs return to the
savage state of his wolf ancestry
came to light in February in the yell
lowstone National park when Scout
Anderson's report OF a trip into the
Buffalo Fork country contained, under
the heading of predatory animals
killed, a mention of one mountain lion,
n bobcat. -four coyotes and an Aire-
dale dog.
This dog. which probably wandered
into the park from some farm or set
Element a few miles over the border,
has been living In the Yellowstone In
a wild state for several years.
Whether or not he f~raternized with his
cousins the wolves and the coyotes
q not be known certainly. No doubt
he lived as they live, at the expense
of young and weaker deer and elk. and
smaller prey. Probably he lived alone,
against all animal kind as they were
against him. There are well-authenti-
cnted instances Of dogs. thus returning
to savage nature. It speaks well for
his tenacity and strength that, alone
of his kind In a country where all
kinds of wild animals live still their
natural lives, he survived. He may
have been a dog of good pedigree.
Anyway, the dog had been seen at
intervals for several years and was
officially classed among the animals
which, alone Of all Yellowstone's ami
mails, are sought and killed because
destructive of the harmless animaa
which make of this national park the
b~est-populated ~wild-animal preserve In
the world.

Use spIints Of Wire NettIna.

A new kind Of surgical splint In
which galvanized wire netting takes
he place of wood. has been put on
the market. says the Popular Science
Monthly. 1t has been tried and offers
many advantages. The steel entering
into the construction Of this woven
wire splint is so tempered that 1t can
be nodded by hand. Being galvanized,
the wire is sterilized and at the same
time welded into a single piece that
can not fray out at loose ends. As
the splint is porous. 1t allows a certain
amount of evaporation and air circula-
ton to the dressing beneath. which
wood or plaster does not. The splint
rolled like a bandage and Is
lighter and less bulky than wooden
splints.

Nation Of the Steamboat.

Edward Hungerform. writing Of the
evolution of the steamboat In the Ma
tional Marine, opens his argument
with the following paragraph:
"The United States has been and
still remains the nation of the steam
boat. She vas the first nation to sue
cessfully apply steam propulsion to
boats. and v e though England shot
ahead of us in her development Of the
steam vessel upon the salt seas-while
We still chung rather proudly to our

pride In the steamboats,, big and little.
which piled upon our inland waters.
And the affection that the steamboat
gained In the hearts OF Americans

SUCCESS WITH SITTING HENS
Great Care Should Be Taken to Keep
Them Comfortable and Free From
Lice and Mites.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
In order to secure greatest success
and make the hens comfortable when
they are sitting, great care should be
taken to keep the nests free from
mites. To do this effectively is not
an easy task. If oil from crude pc
trOleum. which is good for controlling
mites. is sprayed freely about the
house at that time it may soil the eggs
and prevent successful Matching. In
Tested quarters, therefore. should be
treated thoroughly before hens are set.
so as to start them in nests which are
absolutely clean. Beneath the straw
of the nest layer of lime and sulphur
will tend to prevent mite breeding, and
the entire nest may be busted Occa-
siOnally with pyrethum. Broken eggs
and the straw sOiled by them should be
removed promptly, as they tend to at
tract mites.
Medicated nest eggs. said to control
poultry lice, are on the market. These

medicated eggs are allowed to remain;

in water and used as dip. is the best
remedy for lice.

LOndOn.-When ones vessel Is IN

thing will do as a weapon of defense,
as Is shown by the story Of captain
Of a British trawler who used coal

knjckknacks In Neckwear.

There is so much attractive new
neckwear that 1t is really difficult to
pin oneself down to reasonable
choice. OF course. 1t is not all becom-
ing to everybody, but 1t Is all tempting.
And the choice must he made with
care that the neckwear Is becoming.
One Of the newest things, perhaps, Is
the stock and frill idea-that is, some
sort of stock collar with frilled jabOt
attached. that suggests the old-fash-
Toned mans rufled shirt. There are
some times wrist frills to 60 with these
sets.
One Of the new collars consists Of n
stock Of black satin, unrelieved by any
white, to which Is attached big jabOt
Of fine-meshed cream-cOlored net. edg-
ed with lace. The effect is decidedly
smart, although the absence Of any
white in the stock might not be well
borne by some faces.
Another unusual use Of black In col
lars is to be found in a ruffled collar
that opens in front with the usual "
line, and Is made of white organdie
edged with narrow black lace. Doubt
less black lace as trimming to white

SAVING THE INJURED

i've sure got to hand II TO those
men with the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed to have but
one idea-to do their duty-and appar-
emily cared nothing for their own lives
while doing it. They were game right
to the core"
In this connection it may be said
that there are certain number of
men who wear the Red Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If any,
one has thought that Red Cross
worker goes out on a battlefield only af-
ter the firing has ceased and brings in
the wounded. this statement by SOL
dier will correct the wrong impression.
Stretcher-bearers work under fire-and
the Germans have not hesitated to fire
upon Red Cross workers
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him to the first-aid station and subse-
quently To the hospitals, has given
great comfort to the American troops.

Clothes Economy
Fashions Problem

New YOrk.-Women are OF many
minds concerning clothes. Some insist
that they will have everything made in
the mouse. giving the seamstresses n
chance to live; that they will study
the best fashions for inspiratiOnal
work in their own sewing rooms.
Others insist that they will spend
this spring altering clothes that are al
most as good as new. while others say
that 1t is patriotic to spend.
1t IL quite well, observes promi-
nent fashion writer, that there are seq
ments of differing thought. The con-
tinent is so full of women th,s they
can group themselves into thousands
OF units, each with but single pur-
pose, and everybody will be benefited
Every woman does not see economy
IN the same way. 1t would be foolish
therefore. to preach the same sermon
TO the mass. There is no doubt that
several thousands of women are de-
batting, with intelligence and with a
stimulating effort at sacrifice, this
question of spring costumery; but, as
far as the prophet can see into the
future. business will not suffer by this
discussion.
