reached that stage where itvns actual

PLANT TRAMP BY INSTINCT.
California Cnctus Blows Around the
Desert for Months.
Curious among vegetable growths
nnd one which is 'seldom seen of men
is the rootless cactus of the California
desert , says the Techlncal World.
This plant , a round , compact growth ,
rolls about the level flaor of the des
ert for some eight or nine months of
the year , tossed hither and yon by
the winds which blow with fierceness
over all of California's sand plat durc
ing those months.
At the coming of the rains , or
rather the cloudbursts , which sweep
the desert in its springtime , this cdc-
tus takes root wherever it happens to
have been dropped by the last wind
of which it was the plaything and im
mediately begins to put out all around
it small shoots , which In turn become
cacti , exactly like the parent plant.
These young growths increase in
size rapidly , sucking the moisture
both from the parent plant and from
the surrounding earth. The roots do
not penetrate the soil deeply , but
spread often over a circle whoso
radius Is not less than ten feet. These
roots , too , are small , but practically
innumerable , and they get every bit
of moisture and plant food to bo had
in the territory they cover.
EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema Baby's Head
a Maes of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cutlcura.
"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse Instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her cars would fall off.
She suffered terribly , and would
ccratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old ,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care , but she continued to grow
worse. lie said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started
to use the Cutlcura Remedies and in
two months our baby was a different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign of
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budko ,

Beauty of the Ostrich Plume

anil velvet.

OMB interesting facts come
to llsht when one is looking
up the subject or ostrich
feathers. It is profitable to
become acquainted with
these. The ungainly bird of fine
plumage , whoso splendor wo bor
row and improve upon , is grown
in South Africa and in our own
country. South African species fur
nish the best quality of feathers.
The birds are plucked for their plumes
once in every eight months or three
times in two years.
London is the great central market
for raw feathers. Buyers generally
go there to obtain their stocks and buy
the feathers which have been sorted
into different grades and sell at so
much per pound.
It is curious to observe the features
that make a plume more or less val-
unable. It is the practiced eye alone
that can observe all the points of dif
ference. Width of the Hues , quality
of the fiber , length , texture , color and
absence or presence of scars are all to
bo reckoned with.
The business is fascinating in all
departments : The buying , manufactur
ing and selling. Each season is a new
chapter In the long story of the os
trich plume. For this airy splendid
feather has nodded upon the head of
beauty and waved from the helmets
of the brave for many years. Long

The advance models In winter milli
nery strike out no absolutely now
notes and , Indeed , novelty would bo

ns has been shown this summer. The
first fall hats sit low upon the coiffure ,
after the fashion with which wo have
become familiar , and many of thorn
are very largo and low , though odd

a good Investment for women who can
afford It. It will not grow less val
uable , but will be more expensive as
time goes on.
Although ostrich plumes hold first
place In the matter of decorations for
the hat and coiffure , ostrich fibers are
worked up into other decorative
pieces. Pompons and many airy
fancy branchings are seductively
placed on the latest millinery. In Fig.

AUTUMN FASHION GOSSIP
Some Valuable and Timely Points for
the Woman Who Cares.
The directolro waistcoat promises
to last over another .season , and pro
vision has been made for very orig

Ribbons have been taken up en
thusiastically by milliners during the
summer , and in satin and velvet are
to have a great vogue In the winter
millinery also.
Horduro satins follow In the wake
of the beautiful bordered summer
stuffs and some exquisite effects are
secured in this line of materials.
Buttons of all kinds , but particular
ly those covered with satin or with the
costume material , are being used more
lavishly than ever upon the early au
tumn models.
Cedar red or cedar brown which
arc one and the same thing and sug
gest the old time mahogany , though
with an added softness of tone bids
fair to bo n popular autumn color and
the chamlron or copper tones keep
their hold upon public favor.
Chiffon broadcloth appears in all the
new colorings and of a lightness
and Hoftness even surpassing that
achieved by the manufacturers last
year. Fancy broadcloths in one tone
colorings and woven satin or chevron
stripes are numerous.
The deep reddish brown and brown
ish purple shades which have claimed
attention as relieving colors this sum
mer are exploited earnestly among the
fall silks and velvets. Wild plum ,
concord grape , prune and various oth

prominently among the winter color-

The best cure is action. Fill every
hour of the day with interests. Acquire
a hobby ( many pcoplo speak slightingly -

great thing ) . Throw yourself with en
thusiasm into all you do. Try to imiko
everybody you meet happy. Forgot
that you yourself exist , and the first
thing you know you will acquire that
wholesome , happy state of mind which

BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands of Devout Pilgrims.
Thousands of pilgrims from the va
rious outlying villages and other parts
of the Hooghly district poured In from
nn early hour in the morning to the
temples of Jagernath , says the Gal-
cuttn Statesman. i
The Image of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part of the temple , so
that It can bo viewed at an advantage ,
by the Immense crowd of pilgrims ,
nnd there nt a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences. '
The most curious part of the festi
val Is that water is not poured on the
Imago af the god until n certain small
bird is found sitting on the topmost
banner of the temple. There is a pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Purl , the famous place of Hindu pilgrim
age , to Mahcoh on the day of this
festival , and his very presence Is an
Indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

in which he was to speak. As ho en-
icrcd the carriage with his friends
and was driven from the station the
rain changed to hall , and Immcnsb
stones battered and rattled against
the vehicle. A brass band , rather demoralized -
moralized by the storm , stuck bravely
10 Its post and played.
"That Is the most realistic music I
have ever heard , " remarked the presi
dent.
"What are they playing ? " asked the

"THE PALE GIRL. "
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.
In cold weather eomo people think
a cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is for a short time but
the drug caffeine acts on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re
action is to cause moro chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
which a Dak. girl found after a time ,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says :
"Having lived for five years in N.
Dak. , I have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. As a re
suit I had a dull headache regularly ,
Buffered from indigestion , and had no
'life' in me.
"I was known as 'tho palo girl , ' and
people thought I was just weakly.
After a tlmo I had heart trouble and
became very nervous , never know
what it WBB to be real well. Took med
icine but it never seemed to do any
good.
"Since being married my husband
and I both have thought coffee was
harming us and wo would quit , only to
begin again , although wo felt it was
the same aa poison to us.
"Then wo got some Postum. Well ,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now , headache
gone , and I have a great deal of en
ergy I had never known while drink
ing coffee.
"I haven't boon trcubletl with indi
gestion since using Postum , am not

READY REASONING.
One Guess About Venus of Mlle
Proved to Be Wrong.
They stood before the reproduction
of the Venus of Molos.
"Her hands must have been beauti
ful , " said one.
"Very , " assented the other. "I won-
Ser what position they wore In ? "
"I have a theory that she was repre
sented as busied nt her toilet. One
band probably hold a small mirror. "
"And the other a powder puff , eh ?
But that theory won't work. "
"And why not ? "
"Had she been at her toilet her
mouth would have been full of hair

An Artist's Generosity.
The famous painter Corot and his
ulster were Joint owners of some/
house property In the Faubourg Polo
Bonnlerc. One day ono of the tenants
a tailor came to Corot and said ho
could not pay his rent.
"What can I do for you ? " asked
Corot. "I cannot Intercede for you
with my sister , because I am not on
'
good terms with my family. " ( As a
matter of fact , Corot wan regarded an
n "failure" by his family. ) "How
ever , " ho added , "hero is the money
to pay thn rent , only don't let anyone
know I have given It to you. "
The tailor after this used to return
periodically when hln rent was duo and
obtain the money from Corot , who remarked -
marked on ono occasion , "I appear to
bo very generous , but I am not , be
cause I got half of It back from my
sister as my share of the rent. "
