ANSWER SUMMONS OF DEATH
Presence of Immense Quantity of Bones of Animals in Caves 10
 Thus Accounted For.

Harry Wigg, prospector in the Transvaal and Rhodesia, offers an explanation of the finding of the remnants of wild animals in caves. He maintains that the same call that sets wild life migrating sends these creatures to a known goal when they know their time has come to die. He says 8 vast sepulcher of wild life was shown him by the Chief Nog of southern Rhodesia.
 They passed down valley in which there were neither trees nor birds nor any life whatsoever. Ut- ter stiffness reigned. The end of the valley was closed by jagged, weather-worn curtain of conglom- crate, and on a ledge, ten feet above the floor of the valley, was the en- trance to cave, the center of which was cleft by big Assure. Huge boulders, disintegrated from the softer sandstone, formed niches and minor caves and galleries.
 Every inch of the lodges was cov- cred with the remains of animals while pit was filled high with thousands of skeletons of big buck and elephant, rhino and buffalo in all stages of ''dry" decay. MT. Wigg apparently had found "the place where elephants die," of which much of legendary nature has been said and written.

LOGIC

Eight-year-old Frances has been taught by her parents the art of keeping a secret and it irritatcs her to be suspected of telling anything she Is asked not to tell. The other day she was visiting Aunt Grace, who also had young lady visitor. Aunt Grace had warned Frances not to tell the conversation, so she began to talk of things which were secrets when the visitor looked at Frances and said: 'Little pitchers some times have big ears, my dear"
 Frances looked back at her. ''Yes," she agreed lucidly, "but that doesn't hurt if they don't have any spouts."

MERELY A PEDlGREED BLUFF Woman's Definition of What Is Known as a "SweII" Is Not
 At All Bad.

Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, IT,, made graceful little speech at the opening of the Grace Dodge hotel in Washington. This hotel, which Mrs. Rockefeller helped to found, is exclusively for women. It has many novel features, among them elabo- rately equipped rooms where women guests may launder their own linen.
 Comfortable, even luxurious. as our hotel is," said Mrs. Rockefeller, "there are some women who will hesitate to patronize it out of pride. Pride! Such pride reminds me of story.
 Father, what is a swell?" a little boy once asked.
 GA swell, son. the father an- swered, is lazy loafer whose sole claim to importance lies in the fact that he once had an ancestor who devoted his life to hard and honest work"

CATFISH TO CLEAN SEWERS

The sewer-cleaning department of an Oregon town is said to make use of catfish for the purpose of remov- ing Instructions which occur in the pipes. When it is noted a sewer is not fulfilling its mission, the sewer cleaner goes down to the river and catches catfish. A string is tied to the fsh's tail and it is released in the sewer. This fish will at once start for the river and will work it's way through any ordinary obstruc- tion. The end of the cord which the fish has dragged after it is secured and it is made to pull light wire through the pipe, and then a heavier one, with the aid of which the ac- cumulations are finally removed.

Cause of Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipa- ted, the lower bowels or large in- testines become packed with re- fuse matter, that is made up largely of germs. These germs enter the vermiform appendix and set up inflammation, which is commonly known as appendicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tablets when needed and keep your bowels reg lar and you have little to fear from appendicitis. Adv.

The volumes, which are in.the Gilbertese language, were routed by Sydney, Australia, a dis tance of 15,OOO miles. They were specially bound, the poisoned glue being used to kill the bookworms of the tropic island, which are very destructive.

GROOM DOESN'T COUNT

Polynesia is probably the only place in the world where the mar riage feast takes place without the presence of the bridegroom. For some unexplained reason the young man is "sent into the bush" when the bride becomes a member of his family, and he invariably remains there during the subsequent festivi- ties. It is only when the guests have departed and the girl is left alone that messengers are dis patched for him.

ed completely dissolves it is pure
wool. Amy threads that remain
will be cotton.
Pure, unweighted, long
silk is probably not rarer than it
was in the days of our grandmoth-
ers; but the demand is so much
greater that it cannot all be met
by the filament which the silk
worm spins out to four thousand
feet. Some of it must be broken
fiber - second-grade product,
called spun silk. There will also be
cotton mixed with silk, especially
in satins, velvets and brocades.
Moreover, the mercerization of
cotton has reached a point where
this material may easily masquer-
ade as silk.
The silk fiber is often weighted
too, with metallic salts and dyes.
and where this weighing is too
great it seriously interferes with
the wearing qualities of the silk.
Indeed, this latter adulteration is
said to be one of the chief reasons
for the poorer wearing qualities of
modern silk.

I was deeply touched at this
show Of fidelity ct the time / re-
membered It with other feelings
later on, when ! discovered that
Cora's tears were rather artificial,
and that Cora, in reality, was more
Jessie's manager than she was her
maid. But Twill return to that
later on.
Cora went on to tell me how
charming, innocent and trusting
pretty Jessie really was; how she
had,b sheltered all her life, and
how she said her prayers every
night. With this touching bally-
hoo the party began.
As purely theatrical spectacle
it excelled anything which the
patrons of the show paid their
$40 to see. Some Of the most
amusing and vivacious stars in
America were there, and after the
first few drinks the songs and
dances and unforeseen situations
kept every one in boisterous
laughter until the dawn's early
light. BY that time the party had
just begun, and it was rapidly
reaching the point at which it
needed some censorship.
We were not the spectators Of
the frolic. Across the street was
one of the buildings of the Boston
University, and the students
speedily became aware that some
thing far more entertaining than
geometry was going on in the
hotel room opposite their window.
A girl Jessie called Lillian had just
telephoned the room clerk to send
up gallon of peroxide of
hydrogen, explaining that she
wished to become a blonde.
While waiting for this unique
prescription to be filled she started
little dance in front of the open
window facing the school. Before
very long she discovered that her
gown hampered the freedom of her
limbs, and the further interpreta-
ton of the dance was decidedly en-
negligee.
It was at this point that the
students across the street decided
that another day would do for.

been alone just once since we had
met the day before. But she
chucked me under the chin and
said that mustn't be old fashioned

day matter as marriage.
So we started out for the
party, which was held in Jessie's
rooms at a neighboring theatrical
hotel. Cora, her colored maid, had
been experimenting dozen
walters in preparation for what
seemed to be dinner and debauch
for the entire world. Despite the
flowers and festiye nature of the
occasion, Cora seemed greatly up
set and wept continually.
.Oh. Miz Jessier' she kept re-
peating. "You isn't really mar

charming wife. Doesn't that
make you happy"

resembled particularly earnest
class rush. All Of the young men
were very appreciative Of Lillian's
talent, and they urged her to con-
tinue, with many picturesque .ex-
pressions Of JOY and approval.
This pleased Lillian, who leaned
half way out Of the window and
cried:
"Hello, classmates! Hello, pu-
pilsr' Whereupon she would re-
sumo her dancing.
The applause Of the students be-
came boisterous and the scramble
for places became violent, when
suddenly the foremost of the
spectators were jerked away as If
by magic. and in their place ap-
peared a venerable old man with a
long white beard, which gave him
the appearance Of Henry W. Long
fellow, the poet. When he saw
Lillian kicking up her heels his
long beard dropped q foot in sud-
den horror. Shading his eyes with
his hand, he stared as if he could
not believe his senses.
Lillian was overjoyed at his
horror.
Hello, professorr' she cried.
"How's this?" &.
With one supreme effort she
gripped the window sash with one
hand and sent her right leg sky
high out of the window!
There was a great wave of ap-
plause from the students who
peered over the professors
shoulder, but the worthy and hor-
rifed scientist did not wait for a
second look. Putting his hand over
his eyes to blot out the scene, he
stepped quickly backward and
jerked down the window shade. In
a twinkling he rushed about the
class room, drawing the blinds at
each of the other windows, and in
a few moments we could hear the
students droning out their lessons
in a grumbling tone of voice.
The professor must have pro-
tested TO the management of the
hotel, for in a moment the house
detective tapped on the door and
asked US to use a little discretion.

goods and wooden garments offered
for sale are to a greater or less
extent filled with shoddy.
This word has acquired some
how more of the flavor of reproach
than it deserves, in the circum-
stances. Shoddy is wool, indeed
it is sometimes very heavy, warm
wool; but it is reworked, made
over from short ends of factory
goods, tailors' pieces, and stufrs
salvaged by the rag-pickers. A
more general ability to discrim-
jnate would lead, in time, to a gen.
eral refusal to pay for shoddy as
new wool.
All heavy outer garments should,
if possible, be of new wool. 1t
wears longer and stands up under
the abuse which all outer garments
get from time to time. Dresses
for indoor wear, or wear under a
coat, may be of part shoddy even
where warmth is a great considera-
ton.
There are no tests of wool cloth
for shoddy which are entirely de-
cisive for the amateur, since the
length of fiber of pure, new wool
varies from one inch to eight. An
element of Judgment is neces-
sary. But if the goods he care
fully unraveled and the length of
fiber observed, anything less than
a one-inch minimum should be
considered shoddy. Moreover, if
the staple is even an inch long and
is soft and twisted rather evenly
it is new wool, but if short, wiry
and matted it is shoddy. An or
dinary reading-glass will magnify
sufficiently to make this examina-
tion very easy.
In addition to this guidance, we
may be sure that certain class of
woolen goods is hard to adulterate.
and hardly likely to contain
shoddy. These are the worsteds
in which the weave shows. In
broadcloths and other matted tex
lures in which no weave is seen it
is hard to detect short hairs.
1t is comparatively easy to de-
termine whether there il cotton in
wool goods. For house dresses and
for little girls dresses which are
to be worn in steam-heated or
otherwise wellwarmed places. cot
ton and wool may make a highly
desirable mixture. But there should
be no cotton in those garments
worn for the sake of warmth.
The simplest tests for cotton in
wool are the following: Observe
the cut ends of the threads; if
there IS cotton there will be a diff
ference in the appearance, the
wool ends being kinky, uneven and
wiry, with the "life" of animal
hairs, while the cotton fiber will
show an even, tufted end. If sew
eral strands are unraveled and then
broken, it will be found that wool
fibers merely pull apart, while cot
: ton fibers snap. If a further test
is desired, touch match to these
fibers; slow burning, with the
characteristic odor of burned hair
and a crisp ball of ash, will reveal
the wool: cotton will crackle brisk
ly as it burns, give out no similar
odor, and leave practically no ash.
It should be remembered that
mohair and alpaca make no claim
to be all-wool. In these a cotton
thread will always be found.
A more drastic method of deter
mining whether cotton is present
is to boil sample of goods in a
weak solution of caustic potash or
potash lye. If sample thus treat
