Woes of Burk-Uuttoned Woman.
One difficulty, at least, confronts
the woman who wears lingerie waists
at a summer resort and who cannot
afford a maid of her own. She is
forced to cross the palms of cham
bermaids who are pressed into ser
vice. In fact these servitors at sum
mer hotels are in such demand that
it is hard to get them. One woman
says Bhe waited two hours before she
could get a girl to come in to fasten
her up, as she was fifteenth on the
list. "I'd have come before," said
the girl, "but the woman two doors
down kept me while she made up
ber mind whether she'd put on blue
or pink." "Well, what did she put
on?'1 questioned her listener. "Oh,
she hasn't put on anything. I've got
to go right back and stay till she set
tles it," was the reply. With such
troubles as these, women might feel
it better to take to wearing other
styles. Now York Press.
Is a Woman llupplcr Married?
Of course she is. Could there be
any question among right thinking
folk? In these days it Is rather fash
ionable to deride marriage. Even
married people themselves occasion
ally scoff at the "holy state," and un
married folks try to find advantages
in single blessedness, independence,
freedom, loss of anxiety and such de
lectable things. At tbe bottom of the
hearts of most of us, however, we
are quite certain that the married
person is the happier being, and woe
Indeed is the ultimate end of the wo
man who refuses to take upon her
self the responsibilities of matri
mony because she would be indepen
dent and free.
Not, of course, that one would ad
vise any member of our sex, no mat
ter how poor or old, or friendless, to
got married for tbe sake of home or
companionship or any mundane rea
son like this.' Marriage, if it is to
be successful, must be dictated by
true love and nothing else. At tbe
ame time there are women who fan
cy that they can do well without it.
The troubles are uot worth th pleas-
ures which come in Its train, and
they think they are happier unmar
ried and will be so to the end of
time,' says Woman's Life.
Poor sisters, they forget that there
Is something after all In the old say
ing about love making the world go
round; they forget that the old maid,
however fresh and up to date, must
still live something of a stunted life.
No! Again one says the woman is
happier married, provided she choose
rightly, and for choosing there is no
better methods than the old fash
ioned, perhaps somewhat forgotten,
one of love.
Women and Dangerous Inhibition.
The increasing popularity of dan
gerous exhibitions of the loop-the-loop
variety, in which women risk
their lives for the gratification of a
morbid taste of sensational enter
tainment, has led the British Home
Secretary to announce that the Gov
ernment will introduce legislation
to prevent such performances. The
present law In Great Britain prohib
its the participation of minors in ex
hibitions dangerous to life and limb.
It is proposed to extend the act to
apply also to women. Over forty
years ago Queen Victoria sent a mes
sage to the mayor of Birmingham,
after a fatal accident to a woman
rope-walker in that city, expressing
her "personal feelings of horror that'
one of her subjects a female
should have been sacrificed to the
gratification of a demoralizing taste
for exhibitions attended with the
greatest danger to the performers."
Since then many persons have been
killed in such exhibitions, but the
law has not been changed. There Is
no reason why this kind of perform
ance should not be prohibited out
right. Exhibitions of trained skill
In gymnastic and acrobatic perform
ances have some excuse for existence,
but wildly sensational and highly
elaborate mechanical feats in which
no artistic proficiency is required in
the performance lack this element
of Justification. It would be wise if
the latter class of performance could
be wiped out. The difficulty arises,
however, that a law like that pro
posed in Great Britain would apply
to the skilled athletes as well as to
the objectlonal class of dare-devil
performers. If women were forbid
den to take part in any exhibition
involving risk of life and limb many
professional gymnasts and acrobats
would be deprived of their means of
livelihood. Undoubtedly legislation
is needed to curb the evil of danger
ous exhibitions, but it should be
framed discriminatingly with due re
gard for the rights of legitimate re
formers. , How to Reduce Your Flesh.
To increase the lung capacity Is
the first step in the reduction of
flesh. For this purpose running is,
I think, superior to any other ex
ercise. Boxing and hand ball are
also excellent for the "wind." And
these exercises will do more than
Increase the resplraixry functions;
they will greatly clm-jlate the cir
culation as well as all the secretory
and excretory processes. What leg
exercises will not do, however, is
oxidize, to any great extent, the soft
tissues of the trunk and arms. True,
by stimulating the organs of elimi
nation and by increasing lung ca
pacity, leg exercises will oxidize
upper tissues somewhat; but when
fat is not replaced by muscle it has
a strong' tendency to reform. A bad
effect of leg exercise exclusively is
that they draw a major part of the
blood, rich in oxygen, to the lower
limbs; whereas if vigorous arms and
trunk exercises were executed, be
side the leg exercises, much blood
would be attracted also to the upper
parts which would then be oxidized
to the best advantage, their lost fat
being, at the same time, replaced by
solid tissue, and hence having little
tendency to reform. -Running, there
fore, splendid exercise though it is,
should be supplemented by vigorous
"upper" exercises. By vigorous up-
per exercises I do not mean calis
thenics nor any kind of so-called
light exercises. I mean reasonable
hard work. G. Elliot Flint, in
"Dieting vs. Exercise to Reduce
Fles," in the Outing Magazine.
A Woman's Invention.
"A woman," said a paper maker,
"Invented blue paper. It was by ac

fore her time all paper was white.
'She was the wife of William

makers of England in the eighteenth
century. In passing through the pa
per plant one day she dropped a big
blue bag Into a vat of pulp. Eastes
was a stern chap, and so, since no
one had seen the accident, Mrs, Eas
tes decided to say. nothing about It.
"The paper in the vat, which
Bhould have been white, came out
blue. The workmen were mystified,
Eastes enraged, while Mrs. Eastes
kept quiet. The upshot was that the
paper was sent to London, marked
'damaged,' to bo sold for what it
would bring.
"Tbe selling agent in London was
shrewd. He saw that this blue tint
ed paper was attractive. He declared
it to be a wonderful new invention,
and he sold it off like hot cakes at.
double the white paper'a price.
' Eastes soon received an order for
more of the blue paper an order
that he and bis men wasted several
days trying vainly to fill.
"Then Mrs. Eastes came forward
and told the story of the blue cloth
bag. There was no difficulty, after
that in making the blue paper. The
paper s price remained very high,
Eastes having a monopoly of making
it." St. Louis Globe Democrat.

ONE OF THE HOST AMAZING ROMANCES
. OF TREASURE-SEEKING IN HISTORY
Where Nature Defies Engineers An Immense Fortune
Just Out of Reach. .
In a small city office situated In
Londonwall news Is anxiously await
ed from a man who is sitting on tbe
dge of a mountain lake in Colom
bia, Central America, waiting ' for
rain.
Heavy rain may mean for him and
for those in the city office In London
wall the recovery of treasure worth,
so experts say, at least 100,000,000.
The hero of the vigil is Mr. H.
Knowles, managing director in Bo
gota of Contractors, Limited. The
story of the company Is one of the
most amazing romances of treasuro
seeking In history.
The Lake of Guatavlta, In Colom
bia, lie3 In the basin formed by the
cone of an extinct volcano. It stands
nine to ten thousand feet above the
sea level, and is but a few miles from
the thriving little coal city of Bo
gota. Many centuries ago It was the
Sacred Lake of the Chlbchas, a race
which at the time of the Spanish
conquest numbered over 1,000,000
individuals.
The Chlbchas worshiped the
"Gilded Man," and devoutly believed
that their deity made hiB homo at
the bottom of the Lake of Guatavlta.
Periodically they are declared to have
made pilgrimages to the lake, when
they cast every Imaginable kind of
treasure, gold, silver and Jewels Into
the waters with the object of pro
pitiating, the "Gilded Man," who,
through his army of priests, threat
ened all kinds of pains and penalties
unless the treasure were offered in
sufficient quantities.
The story of the Chlbchas has
many times been investigated by
travelers, and all agree in believing
that the lake contains untold treas
ure. Humboldt, the famous traveler
and historian, was one of thoBe who
estimated its value at 100,000,000.
Quesada, the Spanish conqueror of
the Chlbchas, was told the story of
the treasure, and succeeded in re
ducing the water of the lake, then
214 feet deep, to fifteen feet. Then
the sides fell in, and all his labor
was wasted. Further attomnts were
abandoned, and the lake regained to
a very .large extent its former depth.
Where the great Spanish adminis
trator failed, however, Contractors,
Limited, a prosaic British syndicate,
formed just over six years ago, has
determined to succeed.
The syndicate was formed for the
purpose of exploiting a concession ob
tained from the Colombian Govern
ment to drain the lake and recover
for their own uses the treasure be
lieved to be hidden by its waters.
Among its directors are Mr. R. J.
Price, M. P. for the eastern divt.ion
of Norfolk, chairman, and Mr. C. J
de Murietta. Its capital was origin
ally 30,000, and was Increased to
36,000 in 1903.
After six years of hard work, how
ever, some of those connected with
the company are beginning to be
lieve that the "Gilded Man" is still
at the bottom of the lake guarding
his treasure. Encouraging finds of
isolated gold and silver gods and
jeweled goddesses have from time to
time supported the tradition of the
treasure, but so far the dreams of
untold wealth have not materialized.
First the lake was drained. It
was not an easy task, for it Is some
nine miles In length, and unforeseen
difficulties were continually con
fronting the workers. The most har
assing of these was the constant rain,
which, winter and summer, hardly
ever ceased.
At last, however, toward the end
of 1903, the welcome news reached
Northern Broad Lino.
Nobody yet knows Just how far
north wheat can be successfully
raised In Canada. In small patches
it has been raised as far north as
Fort Simpson on the Mackenzie
Elver, in latitudo sixty degrees and
forty minutes. Wheat weighing six
ty-two and a half pounds to the bush'
el has been grown at this place.
At Fort Cbipewyan, which in at
the mouth of the Athabaska River,
on Lake Athaba3ka, in fifty-eight de
grees and forty-two mlnuteB north
wheat is grown regularly, and a sam
ple took the gold medal at the Cen
tennial exhibition at Philadelphia in
1S76.
At Fort Vermillion, in latitudo
fifty-eight degrees and twenty-four
minutes north, or about 650 miles
north of the United States boundary
line, there are tnree small flour mills,
which draw their entire wheat sup
ply from tho surrounding country.
One of theso mills is owned by the
Hudson Bay Company, and it has a
capacity of thirty-five barrels a day.
Its flour product Is chiefly used for
the supply ot the company's trading
posts in the far north. This mill has
been running regularly ever since
1902. At Peace River Landing,
which Is a little farther south than
Fort Vermillion, there are two small
flour mills. Minneapolis Tribune.
Conquering the Colorado.
The first of the great American
rivers to be completely held In bond
age by a dam will be the Colorado.
The Laguna dam, twelve miles above
Yuma, Ariz., will be completed by
the Government in two years. It
will be 4800 feet long, and will be
secured at the ends in the mountains
which compress the Colorado at that
point into this narrow width. The
dam will consist of three massive
concrete parallel walls, the spaces
filled with stones and the whole
width of the dam on top 244 feet.
This great barrier will weigh 600,000
tons, and although it will not rest
upon rock, Its weight will be such
that not even the Colorado will be
able to dislodge it. In lor water
the dam will back the river up and
afford irrigation for 100,000 acres
of rich bottom land, and in flood time
tbe Colorado will thunder over the
op. St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
London that Mr. Knowles and his
staff of engineers and workmen had
succeeded in cutting through - the
basin of tbe lake, and the water had
been drained off successfully. . 'ihere
was great jubilation, and prepara
tions were made for the large con
signments of gold, silver and jewels
which might be expected to arrive by
the next boat?.
Uniortunately, however, the water
Is not the only barrier on which the
"Gilded Man'' has to rely for the
safe-keeping of his treasure. The
Jubilation in Londonwall was sum
marily ended by a cablegram stating
that twenty-five feet of solid mud, or
some 30,000,000 cubic feet In all
still lay between the treasure-seekers
and their quest.
But what is 30,000,000 cubic feet
of mud when 100,000,000 is at
stake? A new engineering feat was
decided on the construction of a
great dam across the hole made in
the side of the basin, terminating In
a Bhaft through which the mud
should be washed and carefully pre
cipitated, so as to secure the gold
and silver treasure as they were dis
turbed from their hiding place of
centuries.
The dam was constructed, and with
it the cleansing shaft, but while the
work was in progress a strange thing
had happened. The "Gilded Man"
was evidently at work again.
For over three years the engineers
had worked In the rain, In such a
downpour, indeed, as was unp re
dented in Central America. As the
water ran from the lake, however,
the rain had stopped, and a drought
equally without a parallel in the his
tory of the country set in. For more
than two and a half years not a drop
of rain has fallen at the scene of the
operations, and when the engineers
had completed the construction of
the dam it was only to find that the
sun had baked the 30,000,000 cubic
feet of mud into the consistency of
hard rock.
Then, metaphorically speaking, the
engineers sat down and wept. The
rock-like substance still lies as an
Impenetrable bomb-proof lid over the
golden gods and the silver dishes and
ornaments, to say nothing of the
Jeweled goddesses and their glitter
ing hand-maidens.
The few natives in the region,
remnants of the great race of Chlb
chas, occasionally visit the scene and
smile cheerfully at the downcast
Englishmen. "It is all the work of
the 'Gilded Man,' who is watching
over his treasure mountain," thev
Bay, and they plainly hint that when
i. n t .. .
mo mm cuines u ever it aoes come
to soften the mud, some other ob
stacle will defeat the desire of the
treasu re-seekers.
Letter after letter from ' Mr.
Knowles to the little office in the city
dejectedly refers to the determined
opposition nature has placed in his
way.
"I regret to say rain absolutely re
fuses to fall ::ere," he wrote In one
of his letters. "This is all the more
heartrending as it falls around. I
have been here hoping against hoDe.
hearing the thunder and seeing the
storm pass us by, which is an awful
trial, as you can Imagine."
We really ought to get all the
water we want In May," he wrote
again, "but nobody can guarantee
this."

who wears a hat that flaunts these

North Dakota Solves tlio Adultera

the people to buy whichever they
