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
cfded that I couldnt and wouldnt bstared at for a price just because I was aDewey If it had been for me myself Itmight have different I refuted to-go on the for I saw in a minutethat I could no more act than I could flyand I asked the manager to take myname off the billboards He said he wouldbut he didnt
