STEEL LACE.
Something New for Girls Who
Must Be Stylish.

From the Nashville American.
"Our fashions" said Nashville dealer,
make their way from the more northerly
cities of the union, even in the matter of
detail, to great extent. In many of the
cities from which have just returned, as
you look at the young ladies you would
scarcely guess what pretty material en-
circles their snowy necks and peeps from
their puffy sleeves. You would say it was
lace, if you did not know lace and linen
lost their luster after the advent of sum-
mer's dust and moisture. But it is lace
for all that-steel lace. Though of en-
during metal it meshes are as soft, its
designs as intricate and delicately woven,
its thread as fine, its details as perfect as
though it were done in silk. Light and
airy in texture, it yields to the waiting of
the breeze, and colored in any style. I is
a wonder that Nashville's girls haven't
sooner observed its merits, though 1 do
not doubt that in cases they have"

THE FLANNEL SHIRT.
Science Fights 1t, But the Style
Still RACES.

Tie flannel shirt is now the rage, the
style, the greatest thing out. He who
cannot boast of such possession is be-
hind the times. Iu fatal disregard of one
of the fundamental principles of natural
science, that is, the on-conductng
power of yarn, the weavers declare that
of all the ways of keeping cool this is the
coolest. From the sober tints to the
radiant splendors of a multl-colored wool
and warp, there ranges a scale which ex
hibits a certain tint which harmonizes
with every youths idea of vsional
beauty. Ranging in price from 81 up
to several times that amount, there is a
shirt for every one, and 1t seems one for
every shirt. Styles are contagious and
go in epidemics.

A story comes from Oran which proves
that the women of Algiers occasionally
lead lives as exciting as those of more
modern societies. The woman in question,
Fatina Ben Abdelksder, has just been SEN
fenced to twenty years penal servitude
for infanticide. She is forty years old,
but is still wonderfully beautiful, and the
story brought out at her trial is, at least,
interesting. In her life she has had seven
husbands. Her first, whom she married
at sixteen, she was divorced from. Her
second husband she shot, and suffered five
years Imprisonment fer doing so.
Then she married marabout,
went in for politics, and melted
the rising of 1881. When that was
over she ran away from her marabout and
had four more husbands. Besides these
husbands she had a great many lovers,
many of whom are supposed to have been
murdered at her request. When she leaves
prison she will luckily be too old to renew
her goings on.

These panels can be fastened to each

inclosure was recommended originally
for portable hog yards. An extension, so
to speak, of the idea resulted in the in
closing of a piece of ground the right size
for a garden that was occupied by the
hogs until it was rich and clean enough
to be properly planted. Then three sides
of the fence were removed for convenience

Safe Deposit for the Dead.

"The msusoleum safe deposit plan" Is
the name Of project which a New York
citizen has conceived and submitted
through the newspapers for public ratif-
cation. The mausoleum viii be built On
the safe deposit idea, save that the
openings will be larger and that they
will receive human bodies instead OF gov
ernment bonds, stocks and jewelry. The
box will be hermetically sealed i'm
mediately after the body has been put
in. The front door Of marble viii not
be put in It's place for several days after
ward. The inventor contemplates that
there shall be from 1000 TO 10000
vaults, that the mausoleum shall be built
Of concrete and shall be from three TO
six stories high and so constructed as TO
be indefinitely extended. Elevators viii
be used the same as In other buildings.
The gases escaping from the bodies viii
be forced by means Of an ingenious sys-
tenn Of ventilation into the basement Of
the structure, where they viii be con-
sumed In a central furnace.
The remains 30 treated will become
desiccated and will be free from often
siye odor or sanitary objection. There
can be no premature burial by this plan,
because electric apparatus will sound an
alarm upon the slightest movement in
the coffin. The inventor claims the fol-
lowing advantages for his invention:
THAT il win cost less than other meth
dds; that il will provide absolute protcc-
ton against bodies being stolen; that Il
will provide a place for last funeral rites
where friends can stand with uncovered
heads in the severest weather without
being exposed 10 the elements: that Il
will provide for theprescrvalion and carr
Of the remains for a time, aud that Il

Honest Jim" Fair.

A good story on Senator James G.
G. Fair was told in one of the local
stock-brokerage houses yesterday by a
former member of the San Francisco
stock and mining exchange, who is
now well known in this city. Some
time in 1865 or 1866 the rumor got
abroad that a big ''strike" had been
made in the Ophir They shut down
the mine, bulk-headed the supposed
find, and refused TO allow experts CT
the public on the premises. Fair, who
was the superintendent of the mine,
assured the people that there was
nothing in the supposed discovery.
The speculative public, well knowing
his reputation as truthful dispenser
OF pointers, cOppered him, and their
buying advanced the price of stock
from $50 to about 800. Fair and his
suspected colleague, Banker Irwin
Davis, who were supposed to be largely
short of the stock, were forced, as a
matter of self-prOtection, to open the
mine to the public as any further adj
vance would exhaust their margins
and ruin them. On the admission OF
experts to the mine the public were
| Mortified to discover that the superin-
| tendent, Mr.. Fair, had told the truth
absolutely the truth. The result
was a panic and decline in the stock.
which was not checked until it had
dropped considerably below the figure
from which the advance vas started.
The Generalization and financial dis
treSs among the gamblers in mining
stocks was something awful, but the
affair won for the willy superintendent
| the name of Honest JIM" which is
| still his title on the Pacific coast.

Nearly Perpetual Night i'm Alaska.

81 have just got down from Sitka,
Alaska, today" said John Williamson
at the American Exchange yesterday.
at is a weird. wild place up there. 1t
is not so awfuily cold, but it is pretty
nearly all the time night there. You
can't see the sun till II o'clock in the
day, and it goes down again behind
the mountains almost immediately.
There is just a narrow strip of the
day in a great big ocean of night.
Lamps have to be kept burning most
all the time, and men can't accom-
plish anything much trying to work.
1t is rather worse seventy-five miles
farther north, at Killisnoo, where |
was for a little while. Snow was
about eight inches deep, and the low
est | saw the thermometer was 5 de-
grees below zero.
There are only about 500 people
now at Sitka, and not over 600 or 700
at Juneau. 1t is the same way at Fort
Wrangle. The population has
shriveIed up a great deal. Many peo-
pie have come away. They hate TO
spend the winter there, it is so fear
fully long and dark. 4 lot more peo-
pie would like to get away, but they
have not got the money to come on"
