Very pretty novelties in trimming are
made by applique in kid, leather or vel

skirt to be trimmed should have the
front breadth quite plain and wider
than usual. and the applique can be put
on in perpendicular figures or hori-
zontal band which reaches around to
the back breadths The leather makes a
rather stiff trimming. which is suitable
for serge and cloth. while kid is more
suitable for soft vicunas and tricots,
and velvet can be used on anything
with equal propriety and effect. The
pattern should be stamped on the mate

lous hearers. Under Sitting Bulls di.
rection u ghost or spirit dance was ut
once organized and kept up for three
weeks.
And such q dance as 1t was! On u
couch Of skins reclined Sitting Bull, sur.
rounded by the chiefs of the tribes, while
round about them in "a great circle danced
the braves, With painted faces and
hair bedecked with feathers, from left to
right they circled. now leaping into the
air, now beating their breasts, now re-
peating in low, monotonous tone the
refrain of spirit song" and suddenly
breaking into the weird funeral yell Of
the tribe.
When this dance was finally brought
to close most OF the participants were
worked into perfect frenzy, and all re-
turned to their homes preaching the new
doctrine, and prepared to be called ut
any time to aid in driving the whites
from the country.
Sitting Bull and a delegation of be
levers ut once visited the Kiowa, Co
manche, Apache and Wichita tribes
where were enacted the same scenes that
had taken place at Darlington.
Arrangements were then made to hold
. grand dance, to be participated in by
al the tribes, and it seemed for time
that the Indians were to be SO carried
away by the new belief as to be led into
making war upon the whites.
While the believers in the new Mes.
siah at the north all hold that he will
command them to drive the whites from
the land by force, those hero in the
south are divided. Some believe in war
as do the faithful at the north, but the
greater number believe that the Messiah
is all powerful, and can dispose Of the
whites without any help.
Tie arrival of Indian Commissioner
Morgan in the territory some little time
also did much to tame down the re.
liyious ardor of many Of the Indians, for
they believe that he has the entire con-
troll of their. supplies, and know that as
head of the Indian schools he has many
of their children in his care. Gen. Nor.
gan, by the way, believes that the solu-
ton of the Indian question will be

are away at school ana in the power of
the government.
Commissioner Morgan is a man who
says little but does much. As soon as
he arrived in the territory lie went to
AnadarkA, in the midst of the wild
tribes, and there held conference with
the Apaches, Comanches, Wichitas, XII
owas and Caddoes, which was the largest
Indian conference ever held in the south
west Assisted by the Indian agent, the
Baptist and Methodist missionaries and
number of the young Indians who had
been at school, he succeeded in winning
large number of the most prominent
Indians from the new belief and con-
vincing them Of the falseness of the
doctrine. All of the tribes then agreed
to return to their homes and go about
their usual avocations, whether they be-
lieved in the coming Messiah or not.
At Darlington conference was he'd
with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes with
similar results, and among the Poncas
and Osages it was found that the craze
had made but little Roadway, and the
few who wanted to dance INDUCED in
that pastime until they got tired and
then returned to their homes.
The Indian commissioner is man pos
sessed of strong personal magnetism, and
he exerted wonderful influence over
the Indians he met.
Sitting Bull meanwhile took the ponies
with which he had been presented and
left for his home in the north. While
number of the Indians still believe in the
coming Messiah, and persist in holding
dances in his honor, their number is now
comparatively small, and there is no
longer any possible danger of an upris-
ing among the southern Indians.

II is not well known when screws
were first made or by whom. Tie APP
plication of mechanical c~ontrivsnces to
make screws can be traced as far back
as 1869, when they were made by a
Frenchman whose name was Benson.
The bolts We're forged and the thread
was made by filing. In l7il the watch
maker Hindley, of York, improved
upon Benson's method. For n very
long period his way of cutting screws
by the screw plate was continued in
England. The best patent for cutting
screws was obtained by Jcb and Will
lam Wyatt IN 100, Up TO 1910 about
ten more patents were issued for the
same brauch of mechanism
One of the patents, obtained Jan. IS,
1887, by Miles Very, is worthy of men
ton. Ii was the art of making pointed
s~crews-wood screws. Wyatt employed
three separate machines, one formaking
the bolts, one for cutting rhe groove in
the head and one for cutting the thread.

The magnetic needle has long been
considered a reliable medium for divin-

Thorpe, and other eminent men of sci

was found that ON approaching an area
beneath which ironstone was deposited
the needle became detected. In cases
where the iron was near 10 the surface
the detection was most acute, and
where il was hidden far below the sur.
face the degree of deilectioH was ac-
cordingly diminished, SO that by care
fully noting the movements Of the nee
die it was possible not only 10 fix the
exact locality where iron was to be
found, but also, according TO the de-
gree of DETECTION, To fix with rolerable
accuracy the depth at which the vein
would be met with.
Another mode If discovering the
location of minerals is to use the
'diviner," as a person cited with
magnetic powers is called. There is
now in England a remarkable hoy who
is regularly employed for this purpose
by a mining company in the north of
the country. The manager Of the com
