 halt, at the command of Dick Dawson, who entreated the enraged father to re. lease his death-grlp.
 The temptation to put an end to NoelS life at that moment was great in Dick Dawson's mind, but the veteran gambler had discretion as we'll as desperation, aud seeing an easier way out of the difficulty, he decided not to commit a crime that might entangle him once more in the meshes of the law.
 He now knew that the man who had burst like a thunderbolt upon the scene, at the very moment when he and Clar- ence Carson were about to put into oper- ation their infamous plan of carrying Edith off to the train for New York, was none other than Ediths father, and he felt that the safest way out of the dilem- ma was to let Edith go, and encourage Carson to escape to Europe alone.
 All this came to Dick Dawson like . flash.
 Like all successful gamblers, Dawson drank very little, and no matter how drunk others might be, his brain was al- ways clear to think and act.
 "Let go your grasp. old man." he said, addressing Noel, II will have cause to regret this rash conduct"
 "Neveri" exclaimed Noel, ' or you will aever let go until l know what has be.

ORNAMENTS FOR THE HAIR.

A quaint old fashion has been recently
revived in the wearing of small side
combs. Many Of these are costly trihes,
sold by jewellers for sums ranging all the
way from S. to $50 apiece. They are
frag gilc bits of tortoise-shcll, with gold
tops, in a variety of designs, the more
expensive ones being set with pearls,
diamonds, or other stones. Holding back
stray side locks, they have the merit of
being useful as we'll as ornamental, so no
lady with full purse need want reason
for buying.
Highback- combs are also in favor.
Some have square gold tops finished in
a scroll or beading. Others are arched
in various designs, sometimes entirely OF
gold, but often elaboratcly set with gems.
Latticed patterns with small diamond
set in each intersection are shown. Held
up to the light, these tops show rich
colors, like stained glass, resembling IN
miniature some Gothic cathedral window.
Other combs are set with milk-whitc pearls
or sparkle with a row of larger brilliants.
For those who prefer them are shown
an equal variety of costly hair-pins. Some
of these have perforated tops into which
any handsome brooch may be fastened.
Others may be detached from their tops
by loosening a small screw, when the up
per part can be used as a breastpin'
Daisies and pansies with diamond dew
drops in their hearts, or the favoritc clus-
ter of sweet-pcas, may be used for orna-
mentation. Like the Others, they may
reach cxtravagant values, but they are
also temptingly beautiful.
All these finest goods are of French
manufacture. 1t is said that they could
not be reproduced in this country,
especially the cnamels, which are works
OF art. Wicago Ncecs.

Our Memorable Naval Disasters.

The disaster in Apia harbor is the
severest, so far as the destruction of YES
sells is concerned, that the American
Navy has yet experienced by storm at sea.
There have been instances, however,
where larger numbers of lives were lost.
The most notable of these naval disas-
ters was the sinking of the Albany off the
West Indies in 1853. Neither the vessel
nor the 200 persons on board her wero
ever heard of.
In 1858 the United States sloop-of-war
La Vante, went down in the Pacific, and
was never heard from. Not one of her
officers and crew of 200 was ever found.
In 1863 the brig Bainbridge went
down off Cape Hattcras, and only one
colored man was saved.
The Monongahela was washed ashore
at Santa Cruz by tidal wave in 1857,
and landed on the top of some houses.
She was finally launched and repaired,
and is now in use by the navy.
The Wateree and the Fredonia were
capsized by a tidal wave, caused by an
earthquake, off the coast of Peru. The
Wateree was carried inland for consid-
erable distance, and, strange to say, hone
of the crew was drowned or killed. 20
The worst disaster to q United States
vessel during late years, was the sinking
of the Huron in o storm off Curratuck
Beach, near Cape Hatteras, in 1876. En-
SIGN, now Lieutenant Lucien Young, was
the only man on board of her who was
saved from the wreck.

An Island That Floats.

What a Pound Of Wool Will Yield

It has been fairly tested that this weight
of wool can furnish in fine yarn eighty
four thousand yards, lacking but eighty
yards to complete forty-eight miles. Thia
at the time-more than one hundred
years ago-was regarded as a triumph Of
skill. and it was said by more than scord
of mistresses in the art of spinning thai
the worthy dame of East Dereham, Norl
folk, could not be beat. This was con
sidered so great curiosity that the Royal
Society of England did not hesitate t
make honorable record Of it.
Since then, however, another lady s'ha
spun q pound of combed wool into /
thread of one hundred and sixty -eighI
thousand yards; and more than this wa
her success of producing thread tw|
hundred and three thousand yards lon$
from the same weight of cotton. He

and fifteen miles. If this ball of cotto
thread had been woven it would hav

Rude Central American Mining.

The modes of mining yet practised in
Central America are so exceedingly rude
that it is surprising any profitable result
should be obtained. The gold and silver
ores are crushed in big adobe basin, in
the middle of which rises 4 vertical shaft
generally driven by horizontal water
wheel. This shaft has two arms, to each
of which large stone is suspended.
These are the "crushcrs." After the ore
is reduced to sufficient tincness the metal
is separated by amalgam, long and
extensive process which is now be-
ginning to be greatly cheapened by the
introduction of the Gcrmal 'barrel pro-
cess"
Sulphur may be obtained from all the
volcanoes, crude and nearly pure, and
nitre is as easily procured, also sulphatc
of iron. Not only are very valuable gold
deposits known to exist in this section,
but important discoveries have recently
been made in adjacent territory, in the
nearby department of Vera Paz
(Guatemala), on the head waters of Rio
Polochio, and also in the interior of
Costa Rica. But especially in Honduras,
in the great department of Olancho,
startling discoveries have lately come to
light, reports of which eclipse the most
fabulous tales of Californian forty-niners.
