According to James Curle, who hag

caves In Scotland which were used a.

invented. In other places the houses
were built underground. Many relics
have been left In these dwellings.
There are weaving combs. whorls, and

DO AWAY WITH IDLE HOURS
Why "Hobby," Or Something to TaIes
its Place, 10 Necessary fer
Women.

There Is that everlasting appeal to
people to get hobby. 1t Is all very
well for the writer or speaker to pre-
pare his hobby sermons, but, like Por-
tia, It Is easier to tell twenty what Is
good to be done than to be one Of the
twenty to follow their own teachings.
A hobby is a most commendable
thing. But most hobbies are expensive.
The best thing to do is to plan out q
daily routine for yourself where you
know every hour where you will be
and what you are going to do. There
should be no idle or haphazard hours
at all. These are the hours which
make you nervous, allow you to think
Of yourself. and which the preachers
Of the hobbies would therefore have
you All with your hobby"
Vacant, restless hours, II you have
no hobby. can be filled with reading
good books, calls on the sick. calls on
the places Of interest In your city, and
with all such things which cost little
or nothing. In this day Of great needs,
when letters and packages are enjoyed
20 much by the soldiers. there should
be no woman who is Idle, who calt
find anything to take up her mind spl
Is SO hard pressed that she must have
a hobby."-Exchange.

How Snow 10 colored.

A study has been made by Messrs
A. N. Winchell and E. r. Miller Of tht
University Of Wisconsin Of shower
OF dust which discolored falling snow
at Madison and elsewhere. According
to somewhat scanty reports, this col
ored snow covered an area Of at leas
100000 square miles and probably
much more. The total quantity of
dust Is estimated to have been at least
100000 tons. and may have greatly
exceeded this, perhaps. even amount
ing to hundreds Of millions of tons. A
study of the character Of the dust and
of the attendant meteorological condi
lions leads to the belief that the dust
was blown all the way from the arid
regions In the far Southwestern United
States, and was therefore transported
1000 miles or more.
