WHAT MRS. CLEVELAND WEARS.
She Has Dropped Magnificent Robes
and Taken to Girlish Draperies.

and Taken to GirliSh Draperies.
From the Ne,o Yors World.
The wife Of ex-President Cleveland has
evidently changed her dressmaker, for at
no time since she became notable has she
appeared in more beautiful and suitable
toilets than she now wears. Mrs. Cleveland
was ALWAYS weli-dressed so far as fabrics,
trimmings and CONNECTIONS went, but her
clothes were not appropriate. They we're
too rich. They had the grandeur and
warmth of autumn when her youth and
beauty only required the light garniture of
spring for relief. Since her enrolment
among the immortals of McAllister's circle
she mas forsworn her magnificent robes of
plush velvet aud brocaded satin, and
adopted those light, airy tissues Of null
crepe, India silk and transparency cloths
that drape so gracefully and make a woman
as nearly angelic in appearance as 1t is pos
sibe for mortal to look.
At the afternoon teas which she is giving
for Mrs. Perrine In her new home in Mad
ison avenue Mrs. Cleveland has been wear
ing most artistic dresses, made principally
of gauze, lace Insertion and soft ribbons.
The simple style in which they are made,
the aceeful, unconscious way in whch
they are worn, the absence OF jewels and
her fondness for putting rose IN her hair
or spray of orchids at her throat give her
that delightfully."- girlish appearance
which was not displayed while mistress of
the white house. The responsibilities of her
position, its demands and exactions, may
have had meshing to do with the maturity
she affected, but as simple Mrs. Cleveland,
the wife of New York lawyer, she is Ger
tainly younger and prettier woman than
she was two years ago.

Ice Eighty Thousand Years Old
From the 50. Louis Republic.


The altitude of the Stevens mine, on
Mount Mcclellan, Cal, is 1850 feet. At
the depth of from sixty to 80 feet the
crevice matter, consisting Of silica, calcite
and ore, together with the surrounding
wall-rock, is solid frozen mass. Mo-
Clellan is one of the highest eastern spurs of
the snowy range; it has 10 form of horse
shoe, with bold escarpment of feldsparic
rock nearly 1000 feet high, which, in some
places, is nearly perpendicular. In de-
scending into the mine nothing unusual
occurs until depth OF eighty or ninety
feet is reached, when the frozen territory
begins aud continues for over 200 feet,
There are no indications of q thaw.
summer or winter. The whole of the 200
feet Of frozen walls is surrounded by mas
sive rocks. The miners, being unable to ex-
cavate the frozen material with pick and
drill, in the usual way, fonnd that the only
way to mine in this peculiar lode was to
kindls huge fire against the face" Of the
tunnel and In the morning take out the ore
that had been thawed loose during the
night. In fact, this was the only mode of
mluing used while going through the frozen
belt some ten or fifteen years since.
TIE tunnel is now many hundred feet
deep, and still there Is no diminution
of the frost. There is, so far as
can be seen, no opening or channel
through which the frost could posi-
bly, have reached such depth from the
surface Besides this, there are many other
mines in the same vicinity 10 like frozsn
state. The theory is that the rock was de-
posted in glacial times, when there was
cold enough TO freeze the very earth's heart.
In that case the mine is an Joe house whose
stores have remained unthawed for at least
81. 900 yearsi The phenomenon is not I'M
common or inexplicable when openings can
be- found through which a current Of air can
pass: but cases which, like the Stevens
mine. show no openings for air currents
must be referred to imbedded icebergs Of
the glacial period.

Buyers are taking all the ducks that can

ington can he filed The season has been the
worst ever known. The canvas-backs ara
unprecedentedly scarce, and the red-heads
are bringing canv4s-back prices. The ap-
proach Of Christmas al ways doubles the de-
mald, and this year they are heavier than
ever.
A very clever trick has been played with
considerable success aud profit. Ducks from
Currituck Sound, n. c., and other big
duckiug waters down the coast have bsed
quietly shipped to Havre de Grace and sold
TO eager New Workers as the real Chesapeake
bird. In this way the southerners get sev-
eral prices for their ducks. since If theyA
shipped them to New York direct they
would bring Just about oEe-third Of what Ia
paid for them ia Havre de Grace. Baltimora
buyers have becoms suspicious and the
canvas-back duck has been taken from the
bills OF fare OF the leading hotels aud restan-
rants.
