5000 MILES SAILED III A LITTLE YAWL

Long Lonely Cruise Along Eastern Coast Ended by Prof. Curtis. BOSTON, Dec. 7. Loneliness is un known to George Carroll Curtis, artist and former instructor in geology at Harvard, who has just returned from a five-thouBand-mile trip along the Atlantic coast, facing death ami dangers single handed, gaining valuable scientific knowledge, and working out his artistic desires. "I cruise alone because I can do my life work better that way," he said. 'It bothers me to have any one on board, being alone was the only way I could collect the data I wanted, and it was much the nieasanter way besides." His cruise has been from Maine to Nova Scotia, Cap' Hreton, Newfoundland and return, and now that his little yawl Ottomanu has been hauled up at North Edgecombe, Me., its skipper Is busily preparing a report for the Association for Advancement of Science, Professor Curtis has spent his time on the voyage studying the formation of the northern Atlantic seacoast, and with the idea of making models of certain South Sea islands made by him for the Harvard museum. Professor Curtis is widely known as a sculptor of the model of Uoston, now in the same collection, which attracted much attention at the world's fair In Paris In l'JOO. Besides being a yachtsman I'rofesnor Curtis is said to be the only landscape sculptor in the United States. Ho is a water colorlst and geologist as well, being a member of several lea rued societies. In addition he has scaled mountains in the South Sea islands which no one dared to climb. "I never feel less alone than when 1 am alone." Bays Mr. Curtis. "The only time I feel lonesome is when I get back on the city streets. Besides, what better companion does one want than the sea and the boat itself? There Is always something new to be seen or some little odd Job to be done." The Ottomanu is yawl rigged, carrying Jib, mainsail and mizzen, and even a spinnaker when it is not too rough for one man to set it. She is forty feet over all and twenty-five feet on the water. She has a ten-foot cockpit and a cabin trunk of about Ahe same length. BLAKE'S VISIONS. Curious Hallucinations of the Poet-Painter. William P.Inke, the contemporary of Charles Lamb, was a man of visions. Blake dined with prophets and held converse with archangels. A friend of Wake called on the poet-painter "and found him sitting, pencil In hand, drawing a portrait with all the seeming anxiety of a man who Is conscious of having a fastidious sitter. He looked and drew and drew and looked, yet no living soul was visible. Disturb me not.' said Blake In a whisper. 'I have some one sitting to me.' 'Sitting to you!' exclaimed the astonished visitor. 'Where Is he? ' 1 see no one.' 'But I see him,' answered Blake haughtily. 'There he Is. His name Is Lot. ou may read of him in the Scriptures, lie is sitting for his portrait. " Blake's hallucinations, however, rare ly took a malignant form. One of his most beautiful visitors was of a fairy funeral. "1 was walking alone in my garden," he said. "There was a great stillness among the branches and flowers and more than common sweetness In the air. I heard a low and pleasant sound and knew not whence it came. "At last I saw the broad leaf of a flower move, and underneath I saw a procession of creatures of the size and color of green and gray grasshoppers, bearing a body laid out on a rose leaf, which they buried with songs and then disappeared. It was a fairy's funeral." Chicago News. WISHES AND ACTIONS. Anybody can wish to live weD. Almost everybody does.

Reducing Hip Lines. A girl who was growing out of her dot lies determined to thin down by active exercise. Her doctor told her nothing was so thinning and hip reducing as to bend frequently from the waist line. ;ymnastlcs and Indoor physical exercise were hateful to her, but she struggled hard with them until one day, watching her small sister play with a rubber ball, a happy idea struck her. Thereafter she started twice a day for a long tramp in the country, taking with her a pocketful of discarded golf balls. At two minute intervals she threw the ball as far aa it would go, ran to find It and. when it was reached, stooped to pick it up without bending her knees. She rose very erect, lifting her arms above her head as far as they would stretch, then resumed her ordinary brisk walk until the ball was thrown again. She found her novel thinning exercise full of spice, much more fun than commonplace bending, and the open air life improved her health and complexion, while the stooping was bringing down her figure. Another girl thinned herself by stooping frequently to pick pebbles from a stony beach. She learned a lot about shells and sand denizens while cultivating sllmness. In both these methods the effect would be lost If stooping were not done from the waist with unbent knees. It Is more beneficial to inhale deep breaths and keep the lungs Inflated when bending. The Girl With Pale Eyes. It is astonishing that many girls who display excellent taste in dress often have no knowledge of what suits them in Jewelry. One frequently sees artistic gowns spoiled by the Insistent note of an ill chosen brooch or necklace, and no one thing can so mar the charm of the face as earrings that are unbecoming. Pale blonds choose rubies or garnets, which suit only the dark haired, dark eyed woman. Pair women should remember that the turquoise is always the most becoming stone for their type. But they can also wear sapphires and opals, moonstones and amethysts. Hubies, garnets and emeralds, topazes, amber and pink coral should appeal to dark women, for they are indefinitely becoming to them. No woman with light eyes Bhould be Induced to wear emeralds, no matter how beautiful they are. If she does she will find that they steal the light from her eyes, leaving them almost faded. The woman with dark eyes, if she will wear pink coral, will And that 4ier eyes shine with added brilliance. For Tired Feet. After a long walk, when the feet feel weary and uncomfortable, try bathing them in warm water with a little eau de cologne added to it. Dry them and rub in some starch or plain violet powder. On a railway Journey it is a good idea to take a pair of light slippers in the traveling bag and to change the outdoor boots when In the train. Alcohol Is a good medium witt. which to rub the feet, and bathing: them in salt water Is good for some feet, and they are always benefited by the starch powder rub afterward. Cotton stockings of the finest and softest make are excellent wear for tender feet, and many people like cashmere. Many people believe In soaping the heel of a stocking so as to prevent blisters, and shaking starch powder or boraclc acid into the stockings before putting them on is another preventive of those crippling worriers. Simple Aids te Beauty. Skin of a coarse quality is the despair of a girl of refinement who wishes t lay some claim to beauty. Her case is not a hopeless one. however, as conscientious application of the complexIon brush will readily prove. The secret of success lies in the movement of the brush, which should always be rotary and not too strenuous. Liquid green soap Is the best cleansing agent with the brush treatment, but it is so strong that only occasional applications may be made. If used more than twice a week it dries and cracks the skin. Practice this brush treatment every night for a month, and the improved condition of the skin will doubtless bring a boot a decision to continue it Indefinitely. Powder Puffs. Lisle thread stockings act as an irritant to tender feet When the feet ache and burn rub soles, toes and instep with cold cream every morning. Remember that thoughts fix the expression of the face, and so try to have them always beautiful. Bicarbonate of soda, which is nothing more than common baking soda, is a valuable tooth cleanser. Precipitated chalk, used as a tooth powder and afterward rubbed on dry at the tops of the teeth, la a cure for receding gums. Milk, rubbed on the skin of the face, allowed to dry and later removed by a warm bath of warm water, is exrellent as a complexion beautifler. Comforting.

WOMEN I1IMRQDS III

KANSAS

ORGANIZED

Clubs Are Formed and Hunting of Duck and Quail Seems to Be Fad. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 7. The women of Kansas are organizing hunting clubs and are enjoying themselves with rifle and dog. The first woman to obtain a hunting license was Mrs. Pearl B. Cole, of this city. Mrs. Cole is fond of hunting ducks and determined not to take any risk from game wardens. She walked up to the courthouse and paid $1 for a license to hunt. Soon two other women had decided also to obtain licenses, and now it is all the rage to go hunting. The women go with the hunting parties and enjoy the sport quite as much as their husbands. The club women of Kansas, of course, will not consider these hunting clubs as real women's clubs, and while some of the women are busy studying authors in the parlors others are tramping over the fields in search of game. This is the quail season in Kansas and many of the women are spending a day or two with their husbands hunt ing quail. The quail season lasts only fifteen days and every hunter who desires to shoot at these birds must do so in a hurry. Most of the women hunters, however, go in pursuit of ducks. It is the advent of motor boats that has brought them this new sport. More than two dozen women in Kansas City, whose husbands or some other relatives own motor boats, have taken out hunting licenses and nearly every day anywhere from two to a dozen of them can be seen at the motor club's boathouse coming in from the hunt. Some of the women are expert shots and seldom return without a good bag of game. Many other women hunt at the vari ous club lakes around Kansas city, usually with their husbands, and since the duck season opened it has not been unusual to see women hunters at the union depot attired in regulation short skirt. Norfolk hunting Jacket, and high laced waterproof boots. "There is no reason why a woman should not enjoy a day afield," Mrs. Cris Kopp, one of the leaders in the women's hunting movement, said. "A woman can spend a day in the chase and enjoy it just as much as a man. Men take a day off from work and go hunting, but if a woman goes hunting they are surprised. Some think a woman ought to work all the time." Her Proof. "Just think of it: One' person In every thirty-seven in England is a pauper." "Why, John," she returned, "it isn't so. I met more than thirty-seven people in London last summer myself, and there wasn't a pauper in the lot." London Tlt-Blts. He Was Right. "My doctor told me 1 would have to quit eating so much meat." "Did you laugh him to scorn?" "I did at first. But when he sent in his bill 1 found he was right" Washington Star. His Style.

The Green &

White Plague Record In Indiana Grim One

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 7. "Consumption has killed one person every two hours in Indiana for more than seven years." This startling statement was made today by Professor Severance Burrage, president of the Red Cross Christmas Seals commission of Indiana, after consulting statistics compiled by the Indiana board of health. And last year alone, tuberculosis claimed the lives of 4,710 persons in Indiana,' he said. "In three years this terrible disease has invaded more than 11,000 homes and claimed more than one victim in many of them," he added. "Besides the ravages of the disease in taking life," said Professore Burrage, they are making thousands of children orphans each year. In 1910 tuberculo sis made 2,490 children under twelve years of age, fatherless and motherless." "Besides the large death rate, tuberculosis has its financial side. It is costing Indiana $27,500 a day and A HUMILIATED MONKEY. The Crippled Old Despot Was Made to Feel His Mighty Fall. The following amusing story is told by J. L. Kipling in his "Man and Beast In India" of the humiliation of a monkey whom physical disablement prevented from maintaining his despotic position as leading male of the troop: "One morning there came a monkey chieftain, weak and limping, having evidently been worsted in a severe fight with another of his own kind. One hand hung powerless, bis face and eyes bore terrible traces of bat tle, and he hirpled slowly along with a pathetic air of suffering, supporting himself on the shoulder of a female a wife, the only member of his clan that had remained faithful to him after his defeat. "We threw them bread and raisins, and the wounded warrior carefully stowed the greater part away in his cheek pouch. The faithful wife, seeing her opportunity, holding fast his one sound hand and opening his mouth, deftly scooped out the store of raisins. Then she sat and ate them very calmly at a safe distance, while he mowed and chattered in Impotent rage. "lie knew that without her help he could not reach home and was fain to wait with what patience he might till the raisins were finished. This was probably her first chance of disobedi-

ence or of self assertion in her whole ! gy of the tribe there are countless conlife, and I am afraid she thoroughly j tradictions. When any one not a mem-

thousands of dollars in the loss of years of productive labor." Spurred j by these statistics Professor Burrage j is determined more than ever to make J a success of the Red Cross Christmas j seals campaign, because the money j

raised in Indiana by the sale of the seals will remain in the state and be used to check, prevent and cure tuberculosis." The campaign in Indiana this year is being managed by a new organization the Red Cross Christmas Ssals Commission of Indiana. The American Red Cross is back of the nationwide movement, although the work of directing the state commissions has been turned over to the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, with headquarters in New York city. The state commissions have in turn selected campaign managers who are managing the work in the several state under their direction. The headquarters of the Indiana sales managers is at 246 Postoffico building, Indianapolis. QUEER INDIAN BELIEFS. The Five Worlds of the Bella Coola Sun Worshipers. There Is an odd feature in the theology of the small Indian tribe of the Bella Coola which inhabit British Columbia in about latitude 52. They believe that there are five worlds, one above the other, and the middle one is our own world, the earth. Above it are two heavens, and under It are two nnderworlds. In the upper heaven is the supreme deity, who is a woman, 1 and she doesn't meddle much with the 'affairs in the second world below her. iThe zenith is the center of the lower j heaven, and here is the house of the gods, in which live the sun and the rest of the deities. Our own earth is believed to be an Island swimming In the ocean. The first underworld from the earth-is Inhabited by ghosts, who can return, when they wish, to heaven, from which place they may be sent down to our earth. If then they misbehave again they are cast into the lower of the underworlds, and from this bourn no ghostly traveler returns. The Bella Coola are sun worshipers, for Senex. the sun. the master of the house of gods, who is called the father and the sacred one. Is the only deity to whom the tribe pray. Each family of the Bella Coola has its own traditions and its own form of the current traditions, so that in the mytholo ber of a clan tries to tell a tradition which does not belong to his clan it is like a white man trying to tell another's Joke he is considered as appropriating the property right which does not belong to him.

L SOCIETY CHRISTMAS GIVING. Mrs. Grace Julian Clarke, former president of the Indiana Federation of Women's Clubs voices the followng concerning Christmas giving in the club department which she conducts for the Indianapolis Sunday Star. Mrs. Clarke Is known aud loved by the women of Richmond, and her opinion on this subject will be valued by them, Mrs. Clarke sals: "The request has come from a club woman in one of the larger cities of Indiana that this department voice the growing sentiment in opposition to the perfunctory "exchange of gifts" at Christmas. Not only has this become an almost intolerable burden to many persons, tempting them to financial outlay that they cannot afford, as well as to bend their backs over nice needlework till they are nervously unstrung; but does not all this indicate a total lack of intelligent apprehension of the true gift spirit, and does it not partake of the nature of sacrilege to turn this beautiful anniversary of the birth of Jesus into an occasion of vulgar display and foolish rivalry? "We have all known women who had to take to their beds on Christmas or the day after because they had overtaxed their strength in finishing a centerpiece, or a set of doilies, or some other pretty article that was admired for a day and then put away with some such things to be made use of occasionally, perhaps, with the chances all in favor of the j recipient's forgetting after a while who gave it to her. It there anything lovely and uplifting about this "give- j and-take" theory of Christmas? Does any of us enjoy such presents? It has been suggested that the vay to know the real joy of Christmas giving is to give to some tired mother, some overworked girl, some invalid, and especially to the children who are not See the NORTHWESTERN'S Policy Contract with its DIVIDEND Options, Paidup and Endowment Options.
