CARDoNAGH, Ireland, Oct. 3.---lSpe-
cial Correspondence Of THE BEE. ---
With eyes and heart wide open one could
never tire Of lettering wanderings in
wild, sweet Inishowen, the most
northern district of Ireland. In form
like Il square standing upon the inverted
apex OF one Of its angles at Derry, at
the south, its opposite angles pierces
the Atlantic at the north with brave
Malin Head. Its eastern and western
angles reach into Lough Foyl and Lough
Swilly, the great northern ocean estu-
aries. Perhaps it is forty Irish miles
from point to point Of angle either way.
Access to this witching region is had
but for few miles from Derry along
Lough Swilly's shores by railway. II
you will know its beauties you must ride
upon jaunting car, find blarneying
boatman who well knows the dangerous
eddies, swirls and rips of the wild
coasts, or, better than all, trust, as | did
for 100 Irish miles Of tramping, to your
own amgarious mood, stout legs, a black
thorn stick, and that most genial and
ample thing on earth, the hospitality of
the lowly Irish.
OF this famed region, celebrated the
world over for its fierce and warlike
chieftains of ancient days, and, true to
its prestige of olden prowess, for Its all
conquering spirit of to-day, the rale
1nishowen" potecn, against which the
mightiest pOteutate has not power to
stand on his feet one short day or night,
few historic facts may be agreeably
recalled. 1t derived its name from
Kinel Owen, n son of the Great Nal, or
Nal OF the Nine Hostages. When the
blush of the morn was breaking over the
fifth century the latter bold monarch
divided Ireland between his twelve
sons. This region then fell to the lot of
Eogan, or Owen, who gave it the name
Of lnishowen, or the Island of Owen; as
the great loughs Of Foyle and Swilly
swept across the then narrow. shallow
neck now reclaimed, which in "slob-
land, " now joins Inishowen and Derry.
The valorous families descending from
this branch of the Northern Hi
Mall, were the McLoughlins; the
Di-Armid; the O'Deerys (hence Deery,
or Derry, the original name of London
derry, the ancient acropolis OF the
north); the O'Cprcallain, and the
OGormlys. The O'Dogherties, n fam
lily OF the great Conellian stock, from
whom the ancient region Of Tirconnell
received its name, being the ''aisyest
dPinkers," as the legends have IT, in
time brought all these clans under do
miniOn; though the rival houses ever
waged destructive war with each other,
and do betimes in all lands where they
may gather to this day. But finally the
Tirconnell branch prevailed over all,
and held their power uhbroken until the
final domination by the English and
Scotch in Ulster, some 200 years ago.
But Inishowen was ever region unto
itself. The law prevailed-in the air
above only, as it we're. The bold chief
tains and brawny followers gave more
than one famous battle to the Orange

the mining camps of the territory.
Paris Gibson, the St. Louis spcculator,

from the Wolf Creek district, where
they had gone to see the work OF devel-
opment on their mines in that section,

Of the camp. Mr.. Gibson says he re-

and as far as opened up they make tine

silver. The indications are now that
Wolf Creek will be one of the greatest

Mining men who have prospccted in

California Wine,

The president OF tho California state
board of yiticulture says that the great
obstacle to the the sale of California
wines in the eastern states is the high
price demanded by the retail dealers.
California wine" he says, sold By the
barrel in New York is cheaper than
milk. Yet the dealers demand n profit
of 100 to 500 per cent on every gallon.
1t is this barrier we shall cndeavor to
break down. Instead OF our wine re-
naming IA table luxury we shall make
it as cheap orchoaper than tea or coffee.
1t is the duty of every hotel keeper to
furnish wine without extra charge to
his guests, as he does the latter bever-
ages. He could do it just as cheaply,
and it is just as wholesome. In the end
he would make greater profit"

Ell PASO TRIBUTARIES.
The movement to start Il mining ex-
change at FL Paso, Tex, has developed
into one of broader scope. At the lat
est meeting of people interested in the
project it was resolved to invite the CO.
operation of all mining associations of
this country toward the forming of one
exchange that is to embrace New
Mexico, Arizona, Western Texas and
Northern Mexico.
Formal invitations have been sent to
all mining associations in those sections
to unite and cooperate with Ell Paso. 1t
has been decided to collect and main
tain a mineral exhibit at FL Paso, and
whatever has been collected In that line
will be forwarded to Dallas for eXhibi-
tion at the state fair.
A good deal of ore from Mexican
mines has come into El Paso during the
past week, not only from the districts
traversed by the Mexican Central road,
but as far west as Central Sonora. The
Osa Negro ships here fifteen tons of Sc
lected ore per month, which averages
from $500 to 81 800 per ton. The mine
is owned by Kirk, Gage, Leach and
Dmkee, who pay to American miners
two American dollars and board, and to
Mexican miners two Mexican dollars
without board.
At chihuahua one OF the smelters
operated there belonging to an English
syndicate has blown out permanently
and all supplies sold. They refuse to
state any reasons. In the Sabinal dis
trict mining matters have recovered
from the temporary depression OF last
month. Only the best ore is shipped to
El laso and it averages 700 ounces to
the ton. The importation of lead-bear-
ing silver ores from the Sierra Mojada
by way of the Station OscalOn, on the
Mexican Central, continues undimn-
ished. For week past the total impor-
tation of such ores was 1893 tons, valued
at $50, PSI. The lead in the ore was
worth about 81, 1000.

There was no cricketing costume at that
time, neither flannels, leggings, gloves nor
cricketng shoes. The gentlemen threw off
their three cornered cooked hats, pulled Off
their gold laced coats and waistcoats, and
played III their rufIled shirts, knee brooches,
silk stockings and high heeled shoes. Their
pigtails would not be much in the way; but

Sealing Wax Varnish for Chairs

There is fashion just now of finishing
rattan or wicker chairs in color; a fashion,
by the way. which commends itself TO thrifty
housewives, who by applying a coat of seal
ing wax yarnish-the kind used-can make
soiled articles appear ''as good as new.'
For varnish of any desired color, The Dec
orator and Furnisher furnishes the following
recipe: Take either red, black or white seal
ing wax, selecting the color desired, and u
every two ounces of sealing wax add one
ounce of spirits of wine; pound the wax fine
and then sift through fine muslin sieve, put
it in Il bottle with the spirits of wine, let ii

then apply it to the chairs with brush, lie,
them dry and go over them again, as it re-
quires three times this quantity for each

pie declared themselves free state III l777,

though congress was willing to sustain re-

Now that we are hearing SO much about
the bandana handkerchief, says Golden Days
perhaps the boys and girls may like to know
what the term means
Most people think that it means red
handkerchief of cotton or silk, but that is a
mistake. "Bandana" refers to the figure and
not to the goods, color, size or quality of the
handkerchief
The bandana figure is an arrangement of
white blocks about a quarter of an inch
square, each with a round or square hole in
the center upon background or solid color.
The blocks are grouped in diamonds, squares,
circles and other geometrical figures, scat
tered over the handkerchief in any fashion
that pleases. A border of white lines, dots,
bars or bands surrounds the whole. They
are made of either cotton or silk and come
chiefly in yellow, red and chocolate oolors,
with occasionally n lot of blue ones. The
colors are always very deep and vivid.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.


tiOn and Display in the Home.
An artist and lecturer who evidently be-
lieves that too little decoration is better
than too much, gives the following warning
against the common error of confounding
show and display with taste;
Don't emblazon your front door with ar
mored knights and rampant lions, because
they don't Belong or grow here Don't put
your initials or your name over everything
you possess, that people who pick up
q fork or look Mt n pillow sham will read
"John Smith, my property It's all right
to mark things Of Use In some such
way, but not things Of beauty, and.
If you must SO mark them, make the
letters small and put them ON the
back of the object. not tho front. The
lady who wears her initials in diamonds OH a
brooch is vulgar The man who prints his
monogram on his china does a useless thing,
for nobody is going to run away with his
dishes. Don't assert too much ut the table.
Don't be too snowy and complex. Don't
make your napkin rings too emphatic and
obtrusive Put flowers ON the table, but
place them loosely or i'll glass, for if you put
them i'll china or any other Opaque substance
you conceal half their beauty, namely, their
stems. Don't entirely cover your walls with
pictures. and when you have picture don't
let the shopkeeper kill it with big gold frame.
Try bronze, or something that will relate the
picture to the wall, and not make it stand
out like q big shiny spot of color and gilt
gingerbread.
