South Af- rica haw established a blacksmiths shop and have adopted the role of the new woman in a brandnew character The Sisters of St Dominic eager to sow the needs of religion in Africa turned their backs on the timehonored convents of Europe and established a settlement- in Cape Colony where they purchased an extensive farm Finding that farm la- borers were scarce in a land where most of the digging was for gold and dia- monds a far more profitable use of the spade than digging for potatoes the nuns quietly put their hands to the plow But accidents will happen even In a convent and in time the plowshare was broken There being no blacksmiths in that re- gion the nuns sent to Cape Town and got the materials to build and the tools and implements to supply a smithy A blacksmith as a tutor was secured and now tho nuns have learned how to do their own smith work They have titus far proved not only their equality with man but their superiority to him for when me blacksmith disregarding his religious environments and the respect due to the noble women who hired him went on a prolonged spree they bounced him out of the settlement- In the new country where the nuns have set up their habitation the Boer neighbors regard their work with suspi- cion and resentment the English stand and wonder and the natives look on with awe and reverence The visitor who rides to the convent from King Williams Town conies upon the nuns brown clad and busy hoeing plowing pruning and grafting or perhaps driving t i oxen to the At close range the most striking effect in the appear- ance of a Sister of St Dominic as seen in South Africa Is her rosy tanned face so different from the bloodless white complexion of the nun under ordinary conditions This natural bronze Is well earned Day after day week after week mOnth aft r month the nuns toll at the forgo and in the field exposed to the rays of the African sun and the fierce heat ot the forge The feminine blacksmiths of the Dom inican convent are exports The precision of the hammerswinging nun seems to exercise a sort of fascination over the rest of the sisterhood for will go out of their way on their daily tasks to gaze at their hardworking sisters of the smithy- A recent visitor to the Sisters of St Dominic who had the good fortune to possess a letter of introduction from a Bishop to the Mother Superior entered the occasion In detail his diary The abbess proved to be a woman endowed with uncommonly good sense She was practical and her personal spirituality was so aided and tempered a knowl edge of human nature and a sense of humor that she captivated the visitor After a tour of inspection of vines fruit trees and growing crops the abbess drove him to the blacksmith shop The smlthv was a long narrow building with a strong frame the sides clapboarded and the whole surmounted with a red cupola with slatted sides through the moke of the forge drifted Within were a wellbuilt brick forge a strong capa- cious bellows of oxhide and all the cus- tomary paraphernalia Incidental to the vocation of votaries of Vulcan Tethered to a strong token rack In the center of the shop was a draught horse the Klemlsti animal With nail beside tier a nun bent over the nigh hind foot with the foot resting In her and with a pair of tongs was fitting a redhot shoe to the scorching hoof With the assffitance of a the nun nailed the shoe and the sde of the horse she proceeded to lift another hoof and repeat the performance with a second shop Once or twice the nun drove a nail in a direction that did not satisfy her Such she withdrew but at last the shoe was firmly nailed nails clinched and sharp corners all neatly rasped down and Wg horse was as and as well us the average blacksmith could have It While the was in progress another nun was busy making hinges hooks nd staples other articles of builders hardware out of small rod and bier iron She hammered away in rather an sperlmental fashion and frequently exhibited her work to nun who had shod the horse her ad vice upon knotty points of art Another nun was repairing term machinery and seemed to an adept at the work Sli Kr r IIU Fumtepi tie New V fk

Straight and Others Kinky Locks ONLY TIlE FINEST HAIR CURLS The Wool of the Colored Man Ii Really Must Delicate in Texture of Any Hair A Muscle Causes the Follicle to Stand Erect but if the Shaft 1 Too Rib bonIlka to Stand It Beneath the Pr and Curly Hair lithe Result New York Jane 9 Why should the hair of one man or waman curl naturally while that of an other Is as straight as the proverbial string It sounds a simple question and one not possessing very weighty Import ance to the body politic Yet It has scientists for ages and no more In- dustrious effort was ever ma e to force the disclosure of a hidden secret of natur than has been put forth In the search for the reaton of this peculiarity of the hir- sute part of the human makeup The cause and meaning of the difference in the head covering of one person from that of another have at last been discovered and science can now divert the energy that has been expended In the direction of a solution of this problem to that of some other channel of research The gentleman who can claim the honor of discovering why the human hair curls Is Arthur Thomson M A and his expla- nation of the matter divested of the com- plex terms and scientific Jargon with which he rendered his meaning occasion- ally a hidden one to the laymen who in terviewed him is as follows H nr th Hair Stand I suppose It Is known that the question- of the manner of production of the straight and curly varieties of the hair has long been a matter of conjecture and hitherto no satisfactory explanation has been forthcoming In speaking for the benefit of the public I want to explain first that each hair follicle Is provided with a gland and a muscle The size of the gland varies considerably In different Individuals and from my observations appears larger and better developed In the negro races The muscle I may state has an Influence on the position of the hair causing its erection by pulling for ward the root of the hair thus converting the shaft Into a lever To illustrate the action of these muscles I would remind you of the tail of the enraged cat on which the hair stands erect Before explaining the action of the muscle on the appearance of the hair It Is as weU to consider the structure of the hair follicle The structure of the skin consists of the dermis or true skin and the epidermis scarf skin or cuticle which overlies it the latter Is further subdivid- ed Into two strata a superficial horny lay- er and a deeper Juicy layer between these there an intermediate folium If you can conceive these two superficial layers as pushed downward around some solid cylinder into the substance of the true skin or even onward into the sub jacent tissue you will be able to form some idea of the manner in which the sheath of the hair Is formed Straight Hair I Thicker In pursuing my Investigations I dis- covered that straight hair Is always cir- cular In section and is usually thicker than curly hair which is ribbonlike and fine the finest human hair being that met with In the Bush and Andaman races These facts have a most Important bear- Ing on the subject In order that the niscle that I have described to you may act as an erector of the hair It Is neces- sary that the hair must be sufficiently strong to resist the tendency to bend If the hair is JO weak as to bend before the action of the muscle the leverlike tend ency is nullified When the hair Is fine and ribbonlike the action of the muscle bends It into a curve and this Is the rea- son why the hair assumes the curly form of the Bush sialp The hair is bent from the action of this muscle and each in dividual hair being forced In the same shape gives the negro his curly pate The curly hair of the colored man is not there fore coarse hair as Is popularly supposed but the finest hair so fine indeed that it bends as has been explained to the ac- tion of Its own muscle while the straight the are puz- zled u s honda ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ halt Is turdy enough to rrolat the lever like action of this fcrce Another Important factor is the plac- ing of the gland between the muscle the hair shaft so that during the actIon oi the muscle the gland must neceasaril- be subjected to pressure aiding thcreb the expulsion of its contents The Influ- ence of this gland on the curvature o the hair Is this If a scalp in which foilidea are be examined gland Is seen en the con nave surface of the the muscle- Is attached to the of the follicle Jest below the gland thereby forming a mats of greater reistarce the follicle zany be of the muscle thus to the charac- teristic of the follicle met in races hair At the It may te noticed that the base of the follicle Is often hooked backward as may he seen in the Bush scalp and this presumably must be accounted for by its vascular connections which are here best developed and which will tend to withstand the strain exercised by the muscle The follicle thus becoming more or less permanently curved it naturally follows that the softer cells at the root of the hair will accommodate themselves- to the curve end tecomlng horny in their consistence as they advance to the surface will retain the form of the follicle In which they are molded the cells on the concave side of the hair be more compressed than those on the side This Is the real rearon why some peo- ple have curly hair while others have straight locks that require the curling tccgs to make them temporarily acquire the beauty that th wave in the hair Is supposed to possess I SQUASH THE NEW GAME Win K Vaurtrrbilt I BuIlding a Court at From tie Philadelphia Press Mrs W K Vanderbilt jr is building- a squash court at Newport ad un- doubtedly all those who can afford it will soon have them in that re sort as society wonen are Workmen are starting her new court which Is to cost LOGO It is the talk of society One wonders every year what new society people will There must be one cant go on playing the same thing year after year And now the latest fad or fads for there are two this summer are to be squash and Squash is the game called fives only Instead of being play ed with the hand regular tennis racket Is used to bat the ball against the walls To play this new game one must have the proper buUditg which costs about JlOOO to erect It Consists of long hall oblong in shape with a solid wooden floor ceiling and walls Around top a railing runs where the spectators to sit and watch the players These are usual ly two In number who are divided frA i each other by a line marked on the floors One of these the server strikes the ball against the wall within a certain line marked also on the walls Her companion catches It on the bound with her racket and she in her turn throws it against the walls and so on until the ball falls Around the top of the building are lit- tle windows covered with wire netting- If the ball strikes one of these that play Is out also if It strikes a band of sheet Iron that runs around the building The game Is simple and exhilarating and promises to be the most popular FORMING LOWBRANCHED TREES Should Be Pruned In Spring or Summer Not Winter Front Medians Monthly Sonic fastgrowing trees get finally too tall for the purposes for which they were originally planted Through the winter season when for what are popularly known as Is the ax and saw are rigorously plied to head trees It la thought this Is proper method to make the trees throw out Any careful observer nay see that this Is never accomplished The butchered tree only en- deavors to go up more rapidly than before If this topping basinets were to be done late in the spring or In eaily sumner when the tree Is In mature leaf and starting to grow vigorously the effectKonld be very different The growthforce

of Sec oinllianil Ida K Dewey In New York Journal Once I was proud that I was a Dewey and a relative of the great Admiral Now- I wish with all my heart that I could get- away from the name for a little while I came to New York from Walton N Y three years ago It was necessary for me to my own living and I thought I best in a large city At that time no one knew me I could go where I liked and do as I pleased I was not stared at in the neither did people follow me nor letters My troubles begun soon after the victory of Admiral Dewey at Manila Of course many people knew my name and they asked me if I was any relative In an evil moment I told the truth and said that we were cousins That was the end of my peace of A day or two one of the Sullivan County papers printed an article about our family and gave my address in New days later a theatrical manager called upon me and wanted to know if I did not want to go upon the stage I said most emphatically that I did not That refusal did not seem to make ny difference to the theatrical man He told- a reporter hat I had histrionic ambi- tions and there was an article in the newspaper- I cried half the morning over that first newspaper story but I had to wipe my eyes to go down to talk with two other callers They were theatrical men and they offered me more inducements than the first one I still refused That eienin my fellowboarders began to make jokes about me and things grew far from comfortable After that I saw some newspaper men and told them all about myself They printed exactly what I had said and I hoped that it would stop the talk and make people let me mind my own busi- ness in peace Well it didnt The only effect was to bring another theatrical man He wanted me to take a part in a Jekyll and Hyde company I told him that I couldnt act that I didnt know a thing the stage that I didnt want to act lastly that I never could stand up before a whole lot of people and do any thing at all That didnt bother him a bit He said that the acting part of It was immate- rial and that if I didnt know how to act he would teach me I dont like to confess it the fact Is that he made me almost believe that alt I had to do was to show myself upon the stage to be- an instant and complete success Then too he offered me quite a good salary and well I had come to New York to make my own way In the world HO I aicepted j I went to Just one rehearsal of the Jekyll and Hyde thing and then I de cfded that I couldnt and wouldnt b stared at for a price just because I was a Dewey If it had been for me myself It might have different I refuted to- go on the for I saw in a minute that I could no more act than I could fly and I asked the manager to take my name off the billboards He said he would but he didnt Finally I fell alck from

WHERE NUNS SHOE HORSES

Sisters of St Dominic have a BlacksmithShop in South Africa

From the yew York PressThe Sisters of St Dominic near King

Williams Town Cape Colony South Af-

rica haw established a blacksmithsshop and have adopted the role of thenew woman in a brandnew characterThe Sisters of St Dominic eager to sowthe needs of religion in Africa turnedtheir backs on the timehonored conventsof Europe and established a settlement-in Cape Colony where they purchased anextensive farm Finding that farm la-

borers were scarce in a land where mostof the digging was for gold and dia-

monds a far more profitable use of thespade than digging for potatoes the nunsquietly put their hands to the plow Butaccidents will happen even In a conventand in time the plowshare was broken

There being no blacksmiths in that re-

gion the nuns sent to Cape Town andgot the materials to build and the toolsand implements to supply a smithy Ablacksmith as a tutor was secured andnow tho nuns have learned how to dotheir own smith work They have titusfar proved not only their equality withman but their superiority to him forwhen me blacksmith disregarding hisreligious environments and the respectdue to the noble women who hired himwent on a prolonged spree they bouncedhim out of the settlement-

In the new country where the nunshave set up their habitation the Boerneighbors regard their work with suspi-cion and resentment the English standand wonder and the natives look on withawe and reverence The visitor whorides to the convent from King WilliamsTown conies upon the nuns brown cladand busy hoeing plowing pruning andgrafting or perhaps drivingt i oxen to the At close rangethe most striking effect in the appear-ance of a Sister of St Dominic as seenin South Africa Is her rosy tanned faceso different from the bloodless whitecomplexion of the nun under ordinaryconditions This natural bronze Is wellearned Day after day week after weekmOnth aft r month the nuns toll at theforgo and in the field exposed to the raysof the African sun and the fierce heatot the forge

The feminine blacksmiths of the Dominican convent are exports The precisionof the hammerswinging nun seems toexercise a sort of fascination over therest of the sisterhood for will goout of their way on their daily tasks togaze at their hardworking sisters of thesmithy-

A recent visitor to the Sisters of StDominic who had the good fortune topossess a letter of introduction from aBishop to the Mother Superior enteredthe occasion In detail his diary Theabbess proved to be a woman endowedwith uncommonly good sense She waspractical and her personal spiritualitywas so aided and tempered a knowledge of human nature and a sense ofhumor that she captivated the visitorAfter a tour of inspection of vines fruittrees and growing crops the abbess drovehim to the blacksmith shop The smlthvwas a long narrow building with astrong frame the sides clapboarded andthe whole surmounted with a red cupolawith slatted sides through themoke of the forge drifted Within werea wellbuilt brick forge a strong capa-cious bellows of oxhide and all the cus-tomary paraphernalia Incidental to thevocation of votaries of Vulcan

Tethered to a strong token rack In thecenter of the shop was a draught horse

the Klemlsti animal With nailbeside tier a nun bent over the nigh

hind foot with the foot resting In herand with a pair of tongs was fitting

a redhot shoe to the scorching hoofWith the assffitance of a the nunnailed the shoe and the sde ofthe horse she proceeded to lift anotherhoof and repeat the performance with asecond shop

Once or twice the nun drove a nail in adirection that did not satisfy her Suchshe withdrew but at last the shoe wasfirmly nailed nails clinched and sharpcorners all neatly rasped down andWg horse was as and as wellus the average blacksmith could have

ItWhile the was in progress

another nun was busy making hingeshooks nd staples otherarticles of builders hardware out of smallrod and bier iron She hammered awayin rather an sperlmental fashion andfrequently exhibited her work to nunwho had shod the horse her advice upon knotty points ofart Another nun was repairing termmachinery and seemed to an adept atthe work

SECRET OF CURLY HAIR

Why Some Have Straight andOthers Kinky Locks

ONLY TIlE FINEST HAIR CURLS

The Wool of the Colored Man Ii ReallyMust Delicate in Texture of Any

Hair A Muscle Causes the Follicle toStand Erect but if the Shaft 1 Too RibbonIlka to Stand It Beneath thePr and Curly Hair lithe Result

New York Jane 9Why should the hair of one man or

waman curl naturally while that of another Is as straight as the proverbialstring It sounds a simple question andone not possessing very weighty Importance to the body politic Yet It has

scientists for ages and no more In-

dustrious effort was ever ma e to force thedisclosure of a hidden secret of naturthan has been put forth In the search forthe reaton of this peculiarity of the hir-sute part of the human makeup Thecause and meaning of the difference inthe head covering of one person from thatof another have at last been discoveredand science can now divert the energythat has been expended In the directionof a solution of this problem to that ofsome other channel of research

The gentleman who can claim the honorof discovering why the human hair curlsIs Arthur Thomson M A and his expla-nation of the matter divested of the com-plex terms and scientific Jargon withwhich he rendered his meaning occasion-ally a hidden one to the laymen who interviewed him is as follows

H nr th Hair StandI suppose It Is known that the question-

of the manner of production of thestraight and curly varieties of the hairhas long been a matter of conjecture andhitherto no satisfactory explanation hasbeen forthcoming In speaking for thebenefit of the public I want to explainfirst that each hair follicle Is providedwith a gland and a muscle The size ofthe gland varies considerably In differentIndividuals and from my observationsappears larger and better developed Inthe negro races The muscle I may statehas an Influence on the position of thehair causing its erection by pulling forward the root of the hair thus convertingthe shaft Into a lever To illustrate theaction of these muscles I would remindyou of the tail of the enraged cat onwhich the hair stands erect

Before explaining the action of themuscle on the appearance of the hair It Isas weU to consider the structure of thehair follicle The structure of the skinconsists of the dermis or true skin andthe epidermis scarf skin or cuticle whichoverlies it the latter Is further subdivid-ed Into two strata a superficial horny lay-er and a deeper Juicy layer betweenthese there an intermediate folium Ifyou can conceive these two superficiallayers as pushed downward around somesolid cylinder into the substance of thetrue skin or even onward into the subjacent tissue you will be able to formsome idea of the manner in which thesheath of the hair Is formed

Straight Hair I ThickerIn pursuing my Investigations I dis-

covered that straight hair Is always cir-cular In section and is usually thickerthan curly hair which is ribbonlike andfine the finest human hair being thatmet with In the Bush and Andaman racesThese facts have a most Important bear-Ing on the subject In order that theniscle that I have described to you mayact as an erector of the hair It Is neces-sary that the hair must be sufficientlystrong to resist the tendency to bend Ifthe hair is JO weak as to bend before theaction of the muscle the leverlike tendency is nullified When the hair Is fineand ribbonlike the action of the musclebends It into a curve and this Is the rea-son why the hair assumes the curly formof the Bush sialp The hair is bent fromthe action of this muscle and each individual hair being forced In the sameshape gives the negro his curly pate Thecurly hair of the colored man is not therefore coarse hair as Is popularly supposedbut the finest hair so fine indeed that itbends as has been explained to the ac-

tion of Its own muscle while the straight

halt Is turdy enough to rrolat the leverlike action of this fcrce

Another Important factor is the plac-

ing of the gland between the musclethe hair shaft so that during the actIonoi the muscle the gland must neceasaril-be subjected to pressure aiding thcrebthe expulsion of its contents The Influ-

ence of this gland on the curvature othe hair Is this If a scalp in whichfoilidea are be examinedgland Is seen en the connave surface of the the muscle-Is attached to the of the follicleJest below the gland thereby forming amats of greater reistarcethe follicle zany beof the muscle thus to the charac-teristic of the follicle met inraces hair At theIt may te noticed that the base of thefollicle Is often hooked backward asmay he seen in the Bush scalp andthis presumably must be accounted forby its vascular connections which arehere best developed and which will tendto withstand the strain exercised by themuscle The follicle thus becoming moreor less permanently curved it naturallyfollows that the softer cells at the rootof the hair will accommodate themselves-to the curve end tecomlng hornyin their consistence as they advance tothe surface will retain the form of thefollicle In which they are molded thecells on the concave side of the hair be

more compressed than those on theside

This Is the real rearon why some peo-ple have curly hair while others havestraight locks that require the curlingtccgs to make them temporarily acquirethe beauty that th wave in the hair Issupposed to possess

I SQUASH THE NEW GAME

Win K Vaurtrrbilt I BuIlding aCourt at

From tie Philadelphia PressMrs W K Vanderbilt jr is building-

a squash court at Newport ad un-

doubtedly all those who can afford itwill soon have them in that resort as society wonen are

Workmen are starting her new courtwhich Is to cost LOGO It is the talk ofsociety

One wonders every year what newsociety people will

There must be onecant go on playing the same thing yearafter year And now the latest fad orfads for there are two this summer areto be squash and

Squash is the gamecalled fives only Instead of being played with the hand regular tennis racketIs used to bat the ball against the walls

To play this new game one must havethe proper buUditg which costs aboutJlOOO to erect It Consists of long halloblong in shape with a solid woodenfloor ceiling and walls

Around top a railing runswhere the spectators to sitand watch the players These are usually two In number who are divided frA ieach other by a line marked on the floorsOne of these the server strikes the ballagainst the wall within a certain linemarked also on the walls

Her companion catches It on the boundwith her racket and she in her turnthrows it against the walls and so onuntil the ball falls

Around the top of the building are lit-tle windows covered with wire netting-

If the ball strikes one of these thatplay Is out also if It strikes a bandof sheet Iron that runs around thebuilding

The game Is simple and exhilaratingand promises to be the most popular

FORMING LOWBRANCHED TREES

Should Be Pruned In Spring or SummerNot Winter

Front Medians MonthlySonic fastgrowing trees get finally too tall for the

purposes for which they were originally plantedThrough the winter season when forwhat are popularly known as Is

the ax and saw are rigorously plied to headtrees It la thought this Is proper

method to make the trees throw outAny careful observer nay see that this Is

never accomplished The butchered tree only en-

deavors to go up more rapidly than before If thistopping basinets were to be done late in the springor In eaily sumner when the tree Is In mature leafand starting to grow vigorously the effectKonld bevery different The growthforce Is not sleeping atthat period as it is in the winter season but in-

active operation The force Intended to be expended-in the upward giowth snuit exhaust knelt some-where Suddenly checked in Us upward course it isdiverted into the lateral branches which arestrengthened accordingly The caretaker of hedgesor as they have cone to be termed with us live

understands this very well He cuts backshoots at the apex severely and thus

manages to have hedge as thick at the bottomas at the top

Unfortunately the twebuteher Is usually at hisdays work in the summer time It Is only underthe starvation stress of the winter season that hewhispers in the ear that his trees needpruning

SORRY SHES DEWEYS COUSIN

Some Unexpected Kinliarrnssnient of Secoinllianil

Ida K Dewey In New York JournalOnce I was proud that I was a Dewey

and a relative of the great Admiral Now-

I wish with all my heart that I could get-

away from the name for a little while Icame to New York from Walton N Ythree years ago It was necessary for meto my own living and I thought I

best in a large city At thattime no one knew me I could go where Iliked and do as I pleased I was notstared at in the neither did peoplefollow me nor letters

My troubles begun soon after the victoryof Admiral Dewey at Manila Of coursemany people knew my name and theyasked me if I was any relative In anevil moment I told the truth and saidthat we were cousins That was the endof my peace of

A day or two one of the SullivanCounty papers printed an article about ourfamily and gave my address in New

days later a theatrical managercalled upon me and wanted to know if Idid not want to go upon the stage Isaid most emphatically that I did notThat refusal did not seem to make nydifference to the theatrical man He told-a reporter hat I had histrionic ambi-tions and there was an article in thenewspaper-

I cried half the morning over that firstnewspaper story but I had to wipe myeyes to go down to talk with two othercallers They were theatrical menand they offered me more inducementsthan the first one I still refused Thateienin my fellowboarders began tomake jokes about me and things grew farfrom comfortable

After that I saw some newspaper menand told them all about myself Theyprinted exactly what I had said and Ihoped that it would stop the talk andmake people let me mind my own busi-ness in peace Well it didnt The onlyeffect was to bring another theatrical manHe wanted me to take a part in a Jekylland Hyde company I told him that Icouldnt act that I didnt know a thing

the stage that I didnt want to actlastly that I never could stand up

before a whole lot of people and do anything at all

That didnt bother him a bit He saidthat the acting part of It was immate-rial and that if I didnt know how to acthe would teach me I dont like toconfess it the fact Is that he mademe almost believe that alt I had to dowas to show myself upon the stage to be-an instant and complete success Thentoo he offered me quite a good salaryand well I had come to New York tomake my own way In the world HO Iaicepted j

I went to Just one rehearsal of theJekyll and Hyde thing and then I de
