BONES SEEN TRACE
OF EXTINCT TRIBE
Skeletons Found on Island
Off Florida Believed Those
of CaIusa Indians.

After discovering and opening the
tomb of an extinct and mysterious peo-
pie on an uninhabited island off the
coast of Florida, Mathew W. Stirling,
chief of the Bureau of American Eth
nology of the Smithsonian Institution,
has Just brought back to Washington
more than 200 complete skeletons.
On the little island, seldom visited for
the last 400 years, DR.. Stirling found a
great burial mound, approximately is
parts of which were crowded with well
preserved remains of the dead. Ar
cheologists previously had found on the
coast of a larger island, few miles
away, the largest shell heap thus far
discovered in America, indicating very
extensive primitive settlement there.
But there were no burialS.
So DR.. Stirling set out to find the
tribal tomb. He found 1t over the site
of another primitive village, surrounded
with a large shell mound. Excavations
show, he says, that it probably was laid
down in several distinct units, the old
est of which extends far into the past.
The last burials appear to have been
made at about the time of the discovery
of America. Two skeletons, of a man
and a woman, were found side by side,
the skulls separated by a curious Span
ish battle ak. This shows that the
occupants of the grave must have come
in contact with the white men, but the
scarcity of other European artifacts in
dicates that the contact was recent.
Almost Myth.
There is little doubt, DR.. Stirling says,
but that the mound was a burial place
of the CaluSa Indians, who are known
to have inhabited parts Of the Florida
coast late in the fifteenth century, but
who vanished so completely shortly aft
erward that they are practically a
mythical people. They are known today
only from their shell heaps and from
their skeletons. They were remarkable
in having the most massive jaws of any
historical people, approaching nearest
in this respect to the pre-human types.
They are believed to have been a very
primitive and war-like people, living
largely on shellfsh. of which, judging
from the size of the mounds they left

an inch long, yet the presence of Mr..
or Mrs. Flea will Occupy the undivided
attention of their host, who may be six
feet three.
The sticktight flea annoys the poul-
try and preyS upon their hosts to such
degree that it is most important they
be removed. Human fleas are little
known in this country; where the do
nestle animals occupy the same dwell
ling this pest is abundant. It is the
flea that botherS Fido that worries us,
and being no respecter of persons, the
flea makes leap for the first warm
blooded creature who comes within his
jumping distance. 1t is the blood he is
after and not companionShip. Unless
the host is too unfriendly, the unlimited
guest will take all the blood he can
hold and jump off. Grown f1eas are
dark compleXioned. They have small
heads and poor vision. The mouth is
f1tted with sharp, needle-like suction
tubes. These pierce the skin and force
into the wound a secretion which
causes the victim to scratch vigor-
ously." They have no wings; six or
seven million years ago they did have.
Ilny wing pads show you where the
wings used to be. Six long strong legs
enable them to hold the record for
being the highest jumper for their size
known. Their bodies are covered with
backward-turning hairs; these enable
them to move quickly and with ease
in the hair of their host.
The mother may live for year. Her
eggs are laid in the hair of the animal,
who by a shake or two will send the
tiny eggs in every direction. During
the warm weather the eggs will hatch
in a few days into whitish, legless crea-
lures with small heads and sharp Jaws
for eating into solid material. Their
mother makes no provision for them.
They hunt about for food in the dust
at our feet, eating greedily of the ami
NAL and vegetable matter they find. In
few days they are one-fourth of an
inch long. They grow rapidly and then
weave a silk almost-transparent wrap
per and settle down to take a nap. In
eight days or more the sleeper walks
out OF his robe, full-grown flea. Feel
ing the pangs of hunger, he leaps for
the first host who comes his way; be
it man, woman, child or pet.
Three thousand years ago, trained
f1eaS were used to amuSe kings.

Shapely Lips.

While people who naturally have
thick lips can never have thin lips and,
vice versa, those whose lips form a
me1e thin line can never have full,
curved lips, yet there is much which
can be done toward improving the nat
ural shape Of the lips. The lips are
formed by a circular band Of muscle
that surrounds the opening Of the
mouth, and a great deal may be done
toward shaping this into pretty curves.
Sometimes thick unshapely lips are
caused by the habit Of mouth breath
ing. which may be due to enlarged
tonsilS and adenoidS. Naturally these
defects must be corrected before one
can hope to acquire an attractively
shaped mouth.
Before maSSaging the lips, coat
them generously with cold cream so
that the skin will be flexible, and thus
will not stretch or wrinkle. The mas
sage should be gentle and not continu-
ed more than a minute or two twice a
day. Use a pinching movement be-
tween thumb and forefingers, as this
will deepen the groove in the upper lip.
After the massage, the lips may be ex-
wide (but not to its full width; keep
ing the jaws open, try to bring the lips
together. Repeat 10 to 20 times. The
old exercise of pursuing the lips and
going through the same motions as one
does when blowing out q candle Is also
a very good one.
After the massage and exercise wipe
off the surplus cream and apply an
astringent lotion. Always use a soothing
lip salve before going out of doors. The
following ingredients make a very good
lotion for this purpose: One part gly-
cerin, one part witch hazel and four
parts rosewater.
There are many who bite their lips
some as a nervous habit and others In
order to make them temporarily red
and fresh looking. This practice tends
to discolor the lips, and 1t is also very

What a tribute is this that Eliphaz
pays to Job. 1t implies more than char
ity. job was noted for his manifold
charities. He had delivered the poor
that cried, and the fatherless, and him
that had none to help him" He had
caused the widows heart to sing for
JOY" He had been "eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame" But better than
that, by his words and example he had
shown the people around him how to
live.
In more than the charitable sense he
had been "eyes to the blind and feet
to the lame" BY his instructions he
had taught the blind to see the way Of
life more perfectly. BY his walk he
had shown the lame how to walk more
steadily. By cheering words he had

his own faith and courage he had in
Spired others to be more confident and
brave, and thus strengthened "the
weak hands and 1.-The feeble knees"
In other words, through his own strong
life he had caused many others tc
seek to live in the strong way.
There are some men who seem to be
sent into the world to show how finely,
how bravely, how Fundamentally, how
magnanimouSly life can be lived. Such
men are invaluable to society. They are
mankind's greatest benefactorS. It is
great privilege to dispense charity,
but 1t Is something better to show peo-
pie how to live and help themselves.
He who, by manly and maSterful
life, awakenS in others the will to be
manly and masterful and who, through
his personal contacts, fosters in them
those habits of thought and action that
make for victory. renders them q far
greater service than if he bestowed
upon them pension of charity. The
world needs philanthropiSts; but 1t
needs great deal more men in whose
lives may be seen justice, verify, tenn
perance, StableneSS, perseverance, low
illness, devotion, patience, courage and
fortitude, and who in all their rela-
tons and dealings exhibit these graceS
and virtues in such q manner as to
provoke others to emulate them.
All about us are multitudeS who are
suffering from maladieS worse than
physical blindness and lameness, and
from poverty worse than material
poverty. These are they that are blind
in soul and lame in spirit, and who
are poor in faith and hope and cour-
age. Those who are better conditioned
may be mindful of their responsibility
and privilege of showing these less
fortunes ones how to live.

"GENEvIEvE k"
Il Is true that women have an infer
iority complex toward men. It has
come because both men and women
have worshipped physical strength, and
women are not as strong as men. And
also men earned the money, and that
made women feel weak and dependent.

they any better. Both are human
