Hiking Suggestions for Girls.

Besides your regular equipment Of
food and clothing, you should take
the following items along on your
overnight hike: A match safe, jack
knife, stout cord or small rope, strong
enough to sustain the weight of a
person and from 20 to 80 feet long;
compass and. If possible, pair of field
glasses.
A good match safe can be made
from two empty shotgun shells, one
small enough to fit inside the other.
If the matches are dipped in melted
parafin, they can be lighted in the
rain. The rope may come in handy
when travelling through rough coun-
try. The compass will give you the
correct directions in cloudy weather
and the knife will come in handy many
times.
A rather rapid regular stride is i'm.
portant for hiking. Your first impulse
may be to run or walk too fast. Keep
your gait down to two steps a second
for awhile until you get your second
wind, for on the long trip you may
need all the reserve strength you pos
seSs. Caution other members of the
party against too much exertion at
first. You can practice walking along
the walk at home, and in doing so de-
termine your most efficient length Of
step, then practice making all your
steps as nearly the same length as
possible.
Another thing to watch this should
y" done in dust or sand) Is the position
OF your feet when they touch the
ground. Train yourself to take steps
which show the inside of the feet

The Zulus' Fear.

During an uprising of the Zulus
against white rule in South Africa, a
British colonel, out scouting, found
himself lost in the veldt, without
weapons, and only carrying walking
stick.
To make matters worse, he was
suddenly surrounded by horde of
savage blacks. all armed with spears
and knives. His death seemed abso-
lutely certain.
There seemed no way out, but the re-
sourceful colonel tried bluff. Assum.
ing a determined expression, he point.
ed his walking stick straight at the
foremost black, and walked toward
him.
For moment the blacks stood their
ground, then they began to back away
slowly, puzzled and afraid by this
strange weapon AS they walked back,
the colonel followed, still pointing his
walking stick.
Now. fighting with spears was a
familiar thing to the Zulu. They
also were wildcats with knives. and.
although they had never handled guns,
they had seen them in action. But this
strange, long stick which the white
man menaced them with was some
! thing quite new to them.
| Suddenly the colonel, still walking
| forward. threw the stick up toward his
shoulder, like gun. With one accord
! the Zulus turned and ran like mad
/ dropping spears and knives as they
went
The lesson is simple: the other fellow
/ is just as afraid of you as you are OF
/ him.

golden head. too.
There were things called scores and
plays on the field, which mystified the
chrysa lady very much, but
they made the crowd cheer, and so
she liked them. But finally, when one
player with the ball under his arm
made long run down the field, the
girl Snatched the chrysanthennun1

went spinning way out into the field
and lay there, a great golden spot In

definite involuntary dreams may be
forced upon the subject.

Three tall. fluffy chrysanthemum
ladies stood in the show window of a
flower shop. the center of attraction
for an admiring crowd that gathered
to look at them.
The ladies did not long remain in
the shop, for the great crisp snow
white one was carried away and made
the center of bouquet of roses and
lilies of the valley and was carried by
a bride in a white veil. The second
chrysanthemum lady, who was deep
red-brown with long petals tinged with
yellow. discovered that she was a curl
osity, and so was very proud when she
was taken to a chrysanthemum show
and had the grand blue ribbon fas-
tened to her stem.
The third golden lady was lonesome
in the shop window until some one put
her in a box and sent her out to a
strange house. There she was placed
in the center of a snowy tablecloth
while she looked down upon shiny sill
yer. cleaning glass and china plates.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, April .-Setbacks in
the price of wheat formed the rule to-
day largely as result of highly prom
ising domestic crop conditions except
in western Kansas alone Closing quo
tations on wheat were unsettled, * a q
to k cents net lower, with corn un-
chang I'd to a cent off, oats unchanged
to x cent up and provisions showing
2@5 to 30 cents decline.
Weakness Of wheat was given en-
phasis by the fact that less was heard
American shipments than has been the
case most of the time of late. In this
connection, it was pointed out as sig
nificant that the amount of wheat now
afloat for importing countries has
reached 75,6SS,OO0 bushels, compared
with 45,952,O 900 bushels year ago. In
crease of 1,536,000 for last week is
shown, despite a falling off of the
amount shipped from North America.
A further depressing influence was
word that early buying here, supposed
to have been for shorts, was in reality
for spreaders who meanwhile were
selling in Winnipeg.
But little rallying power was dis
played by wheat in the late dealings,
Notwithstanding 1,66S,00O bushels de-
crease of the United States visible sup
ply total. 1t was current talk that do
mestic stocks of wheat are rather large
approaching May l and that price ad-
vances at this time would be likely to
check exports. The chief deterrent to
buyers, however, appeared to be the
continued remarkably auspicious crop
reports coming in from the domestic
wheat belt as whole, especially in
the southwest.
Wet weather delaying field work
tended to steady the corn market, and
SO likewise did 1,S16,OO0 bushels de-
crease of the visible supply. Oats were
in good demand from shippers.
Provisions failed to hold gains based
on an upturn in hog values.
