Leather Flowers.

Painted leather boutonnieres that
carry the art of artifciality to the ut
most limit are the latest craze of fash
ion. These floral bouquets are veritable
works Of art. being carried out in col
ored suede or leather, tinted to re-
produce the color of the flowers they
profess to initiate. A bunch Of Nea-
politan violets, made of fine scented
Russian leather, dyed a delicate tone
OF pale mauve, with soft green leaves,
produced a veritable triumph of art,
as did pink rose fashioned Of
crushed morocco that was destined to
adorn the lapel Of severity cut blue
serge coat. This new fad is a very
costly one, as the flowers are all hand
made by clever artist, who keeps the
mystery of her craft profound secret.

carry a considerable charge of ben
zene and napthalene, with manganese
and other metallic poisons; and that
the inhalation of these vapors tends
to affect the skin andi respiratory
and nervous systems. The eventual
result may be some form of skin dis
ease, rheumatism, pneumonia or even
cancer. Collecting the poisonous ma
teria in cap or hood for the chin

Lesson from NorthcIiffe.

Lord Northcliffe, owner of many
newspapers and magazines, including
the London Times and the London
Mail, still goes out as reporter. He
says: IF l wanted TO be a good build
er I would learn to be a good brick
layer" another way of saying what an
American would phrase as knowing
ones business from the ground up"
Success comes only from thorough
knowledge of a business or profession.
It is as important to know the primary
facts of a business as it is for an
astronomer to know mathematics. The
man who depends upon the knowledge
Of others in the fundamentals of his
business is always in danger.-Chicago

Both Sea and Land Tank.

The sea tank which has been under
test at Marseilles is built in the form
of heavy launch but in addition to
a screw it has caterpillar wheels, and
it is otherwise adapted to serve as an
amphibian., Often carrying out its
evolutions on land, it slips gracefully
into water, where it is propelled about
like any motor boat, and when re-
quired it crawls up the bank and be-
comse land tank once more. In the
trials made, this specimen of the new
machine type carried five persons be-
sides the inventor.

To Encourage Salvage.

Following the policy of rigid econ
omy laid down by the secretary of war
and with his approval, the quarter
master corps hereafter will teach en-
listed men salvage work. \ school
for training the personnel in the repair
of clothing and shoes has just been
established at Camp Jackson. S. c.
and another school for the repair OF
typewriters at Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
This training of the men will be
part of the routine work of the salvage
shops and additional schools will be
established as soon rs possible at con
venient points in other corps areas. II
this way much material bought for the
war can be repaired and utilized fol-
the peace-tiae needs Of the army, say
ing thousands Of dollars to the tax
payers.

World Loves Sweet Smells.

War discourages the international
sale of perfumes, cosmetics and all
toilet preparations, but such articles
come quickly back to their own in for

in 1920 exports of these articles from
this country were valued at IS, 139, SOB.

Jazz Music.

Jazz music is simply a return to
a more primitive type of music much
in vogue among Indians and negroes.
The chief characteristic of this class
Of music is what is known as synco-
patton, which changes the regular re-
currence of accent, and destroys the
rhythm. Nearly all savages have this
irregular idea Of music. When prop
erly treated syncopation is very eff
fective, but it's abuse is very objec-
tionable to anyone with any sense of
rhythm or to people of musical educa-
ton. The craze is fast dying out, and
is not often heard now outside a
fourth rate picture house.-Exchange

SeaI-Hunting Dangerous Occupation

The annual seal hunt is OH for New
foundland, and the season occupies
from May to November. SchoonerS
carrying from II to 20 men sail for
the hedges and anchor there, putting
out their crews in pairs, in fat bot
toned boats, called dories, which con-
tain travis. or long lines fitted with
hundreds of baited hooks that the fish
swallow and are caught with. These
travis are set" by the men, being
stretched along the ocean be& with
anchors at each end. and are "over-
hauled" daily the fish caught on the
hook being removed and the hooks re-
baited While the men are off at this
work, fogs often arise and obscure
the regions, leaving them TO drift
about the ocean in a vain quest for
their vessels. These crafts are also
liable to be sunk by speeding steamers
in the fog or swamped by popping
seas, and few years pass without ten
or twelve vessels and $50 men being
engulfed IN the waves.

said the money for the project had
been subscribed.
Engineers plans have been CON-
pleted and the terminals have been
selected, according to Rich. The
structure will extend direct from San
Francisco to the Alameda county

Rich said the bridge would be eight

wide and, besides caring for traffic
Of all kinds, would carry oil, gas and
water pipes and electric conduits for
public utility companies.

CUBS EARNED THEIR LIVING
men, Doing Work for Good-Heart
ed Squaw Who Saved Them.

Years ago, near Fort Riley, on the
Assiniboine river, an old Indian killed
a she bear that was followed by two
cubs. Though he skinned and cut up
the carcass Of the mother, he did not
touch the whimpering babies, and on
going to camp, he sent his wife out
with horse to bring In the meat.
When the woman arrived at the spot,
she found the two cubs cuddled up
against the dressed meat of their
mother, and crying as if their poor
hearts would break Their affection
ate behavior so touched the motherly
heart of the old Indian woman, that,
after loading the meat aboard the
travoiS-a framework of poles
stretched out behind the ho~se-she
picked up the sobbing children and,
wrapping them in a blanket To keep
them from falling off the travels, be-
strobe her horse, and brought them
whimpering into camp 8
For some time she kept them tethA
cred beside her lodge where she took
good care of item. but when they
grew larger and seemed we'll behaved.
She released them and allowed them
TO run and play with the dogs around
camp. In the fall, ii was her habit
to take a hand-net and go down TO
the river to fish. Standing upon q
rock, and every once in a while cast
ing in her net, she would land fish
on the bank. For several days the
cubs watched her with interest, and
then one day, ii seems. they decided
they ought TO try and help their foS-
ter mother; so wading in on their hind
legs till the water covered their little
round tummies, they would stand per-
fectly still until a fish would swim
near. Then they would make vio-
ning-like blows with their paws, they,
too, would land a fish upon the bank.
Over and over they repeated the ma
neuver, with evident excitement and
pleasure At last. every time the old
woman picked up her net TO go fish
ing these two went along and helped
her with her work. SO fond of the
sport did they become that, present.
~, they didn't even wait for her TO
accompany them, but Scurried down
TO the river by themselves and would
often have a days fishing caught and
ready for her before she had put in
her appearance.-Arthur Hening in
Worlds Work.

CAREERS FOR MAN-HUNTERS
Occupation of Nursing the Best
After That the Stage

4 woman's career is undoubtedly a
tremendous factor in her chances Of
marriage, writes Hester Hoylett in the
London Mail
If l were asked which are the best
careers for the woman DESTROYS Of
getting married, I should unhesitat-
ngly reply, THE stage or nursing"
1t sounds a far cry from one pro-
ftssion to the other, but, considered
from the matrimonial aspect, they have
one great point in common-they both
bring women into contact with men.
And, as every woman knows, if she
wishes to get married she must go
where men are. And this is exactly
where those behind the footlights
score. They are, in every sense of
the word constantly "in the limelight."
No need for Miss Flossle Tiptoes to
pine for introductions to members Of
the opposite sex.
With nurses the little god adopts
an utterly different method of attack;
though he has another type to deal
with, he knows that women vary very
illile III DollOll.
The operating theater is the scene
of many an incipient romance. Ev
cry woman. no matter who or what
she is, makes q point of noticing, down
to the smallest detail, each man with
whom she comes into contact. \ nurse
is just as obServant of the doctor work
ing by her side as would be any other
daughter of Eve.
The medical man being also merely
human, finds time to regard the grace
full figure so deity attending to his
orders. The fact that the nurses uni
form Is often the making" of a plain
girl also plays its part in the ultimate
scene that has the altar for its setting.
Nurses who take up private work, Wis
iting cases in their homes as a doctor
orders, stand an even greater chance
of taking trip TO the parish church.
Directly a man is rel9gated to the
routine unhearable; it creates a gap
in his life. He wants that gap filled
In nine cases out of ten it is filled by
the nurse-Simply because she is there
on the scene. Before long the invalid
cannot imagine an existence of which
she has no part; naturally, he takes
the obvious step.
Decidedly, among the careers for
women that lead to marriage, the
stage and nursing take first place.

LAD FACES TRIAL
 FOR MURDER.

Knox, Ind, May 31.-Cecil Bur- kett, aged II, will be put on trial for his life before Judge Pentecost of the circuit court today for the murder of Bonnie Slavin, seven years old. The Burketts and Slav- ins are near neighbors in the town of Ora, 12 miles southeast of Knox, in Starke county. Slavin is a mer- chant and Burkett a laborer. A number of children were playing in Slavin's yard, the Burkett boy hav- ing in his hand a 22 calibre rifle. In some manner the gun was dis charged and Bonnie fell dead.
 It passed as an accident for sev- eral weeks, but the grand jury took the case up and returned an indict- ment against Cecil Burkett, charg- ing murder in the first degree. States Attorney James A. Dilts, who presented the evidence to the grand jury will prosecute the case. The state will demand the death penalty. Prosecutor Dilts claims to have evidence that the crime was committed in cold blood, only five of the six jurors constituting the grand jury voting to indict the lad, one of the five having since chang ed his mind. Cecil Burkett is out under $10,000 bond furnished by Ora citizens, and is attending school

He believes in the "old time religion" and Christian exper- fence. Less church-anity and more real and vital Christianity Told out in the daily lives of Christians. The way they treat each other and the cause of Christ. In spite of the heat and dust our people have been taking good care of these services. We have fine song service and fine spirit of fellowship. The spirit of cooperation from the other pas tors and people is splendid and help ful. We are enjoying every ser vice. Christians are being helped and the unsaved again reminded. Any meeting that magnifies the Bible and exaults Christ, as these meetings have done, will help Christians and honor God. Preach ing the Gospel is Gods ordained means of building up Christians and saving the lost. Opportunity al- ways means responsibility. Surely these days of song and prayer and faithful preaching leave us without any excuse. How shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation These special services will close next Sunday night.
