Girls In ycrnont's Celebration.

The most beautiful feature Of Yer
mont's centennial celebration at Ben
ningtCn was the triumphal arch, a mass
i've structure, at least thlrty-fve feet
high. Ia its lofty turret was d throne
Of gold and national cOlors, occupied by
Miss Lille Adams, of Bennington, robed
as the Goddess of Liberty. Just below,
on the top Of the arch, were 125 girls,
selected from the public schools, clad in
pure white and with flowing hair, who
sang patriotic songs accompanied by a
cornet, as the parade passed beneath the
archway. Below. these the arm arches
were filed with maidens, bearing in
their hands banners e1nblazoned in gold
and colors with the various coats of
arms Of the states. At the banquet
many notable ladies were present, and
the tables were served in part by 800
young women in white.-Boston Won

ants and Their Uses.

During twelve months spent in the
Australian colonies in the years 1901
had more opportunities than were pleas
ant of studying the habits Of ants.
These insects, as is we'll known, are not
only a nuisance, but an absolute pest in
hot countries. They march in myriads
and destroy everything il their road.
IN justice to the ants, | am bound, how
ever, to admit that have found them
useful il more Ways than me-. For in
stance, ! bought an OpOssum skin rug
from a native. soon became painfully
aware OF the fact that it literally
swarmed with fieas and other ~ver1Din.
III vain did | exhaust my stock Of pepper.
Even turpentine seemed to have no effect
beyond increasing the reckless activity
Of these irritating settlers.
at last in despair | threw my rug
down on an ant hill. IN less than half
an hour every flea, and Objectionable
parasite WAS eaten, but the rug was full
OF ants. | therefore hung it on a mi
mOsa bush, and as soon as the ants
found they were suspended they has
tened to leave the rug and descended by
the bush as best they could.
Again, | had killed a snake in Tas-
mania and wished to clean and bleach
the skeleton, which | intended to have
mounted as q necklace. | left the body
near an ants nest. In q few hours there
was not a vestige Of flesh on the bones.

Figures Of Two Big railroads.

An interesting comparison was re-
Gently made Of two Of the greatest rail
road corporations in the world, one Eng
lish, the other American. The Pennsyl-
vania system, regarded as n aggrega-
ton, though It includes more han 100
minor corporations, represents 1915
miles Of railroad and a canal, a share
and bonded capital Of 800, coo, 900, gross
earnings in 1890 Of $133, 600, 900 and the
movement in the same year of 137, OOO, 600
tons of freight and 81, OC0, 900 passengers.
The English corporation referred to-
the London and Northwestern-has an
auth rized capital Of 1898, ST, 1919 and
1916 miles Of road, On which the gross
receipts for 4 year were $50, ,339.
The disparity in gross receipts per mile
is not extremely large, but the capitali-
zation of the English line is vastly
greater, in proportion to mileage and
traffic, than that Of the American sys-
tem.-Mechanical News.

The .IRdIn Tunnel.

The greatest engineering feat in the
history Of anthracite coal mining is
about to begin. 1t is the commencement
Of what will be known rs the Jeddo tun-
mel, which will be driven for the pur-
pose Of draining the flooded mines Of
Jeddo and Harlei3h. It will be con
structed from Butler Valley, Pa, to tie
bottom Of Ebervade mammoth vein, a
distance Of three miles, through solid
rock, and will be'eight feet square in the
clear.
The scheme Of ~tunneling through the
mountains first occurred to John Markle,
who is to be president Of the company.
1t will open an iueIhaustible supply Of
coal and furnish employment to thou
sands Of people for many years to come.
1t viii also serve the double purpose Of
draining al the c0llieries in the valley.

Fashions for Men.

The popular color for morning suits
this season is brown. There are dozens
Of shades Of that color. The russell
browns and the dull browns, in which
there is a slight mingling Of gray, are the
shades that go off best. Trousers have
undergone some slight alterations as re-
CARDS shape since last year. They follow
the shape Of a peg top somewhat, and
are worn loose st the knees and tight
over the boots. Stripe patterns are con-
sidered better taste than checks.
The frOck coat is more fashionable
than ever, and only in a few details does
it differ from last seasons shape. It is
considered to look very elegant on tall
men with good figures, but neither a
very tall, thin man or a little, stout man
ought to wear a frOck coat. It makes
the one look like a lamppost and the
other literally all coat.
l learned a thing Or two about the
mysteries Of sartorial art in the course
of a conversation with a leading tailor
the other day. He said: "Judicious pad
ding will hide q multitude Of faults in a
mans figure. We get a gaunt looking
man sometimes, with sloping shoulders.
He wishes to be made to look important.
Well. we put as much padding as we
can into both his WaistcOat and coat, and
give him an inch or an inch and a half
artificial elevation in the shoulders"

No Moro pearls from wisco.sin.


The pearl fishing craze in Wisconsin,
which was at its height IN numerous
rivers q year ago, seems to have ended
as speedily as it came. Pearls were
found in the CLANS in many rivers, but
none of any particular value was found
except in Sugar and Pecatonica rivers
IL southern Wisconsin. Not only has
the stock Of pearls baen exhausted, but
the clans have been practically extermi-
mated. No good pearls have been found
for several months,
1t Is the opinion Of dealers that profit
able pearling in Wisconsin rivers is
practically ended for several generations
at least, a. there are few clans remain
ing in the rivers which produce pearls,
and it will require many years for the
clans to multiply sufficiently. Besides
there is no knowing how many years are
required to produce the pearls, even
were the clans to become numerous
again. There is no means of estimating
the value Of the pearls taken from Sugar
and Pecatonica rivers while the excite
ment lasted, though it would undoubted-
ly run far up into the thousands Of dol
lars.
Pearls were sold in the market here
for all sorts Of prices, from a few shil-
ings up to nearly 81, eco. One firm in
Milwaukee sold three to a New York
dealer for 81, 600, while hundreds Of
others brought prices ranging from $50
to $500, and some Of the choicest were
sold by New York dealers, it is said, for
as high as 5000 each. There is yet
great demand for Wisconsin pearls, and
their scarcity, it is believed, will tend
greatly to increase their value. 1t is a
pity that 1.-The goose which laid the
golden egg," or rather the clans which
produced the pearls, should have been so
ruthlessly exterminated. Milwaukee

GREAT CROPS !!
Three Harvest Excursions.

The bountiful crops of the Yves
tern States are great sights for the
farmers of the East to behold, and
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
R. R. is not only willing but anxious
to have the farmers visit Kansas,
Indian Territory, Oklahoma, Texas,
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, see
the abundant yield and buy home
in the west. Land is cheap, and for
the price of farm in the East you
can buy enough to give large farm
to each member of your family.
August 18TH, September 18th and
September 2oth are the three dates
selected upon which Excursion
Tickets will be sold to all points
specified below at Cheap Rates.
The excursion tickets will be sold
in Chicago, St. Louis and points in
the state of Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri on the lines of the Santa
Fe Route. And it is probable that
railway lines east of Chicago and
St. Louis will also sell at these re-
duced round trip rates. The tick
cts will be sold only on these three
dates, and will be good for return
for thirty days from the date of sale.
They let you stop over at any point
west of Kansas City or St. Joseph,

fares and rotten red macadam in
the suburbs. The sewers are far
from being what they should be; the
Fire Department does not compare
in equipment with any of the East
ern cities of similar pretence and
population, and the parks, with the
exception Of the great Golden Gate
Park, are tawdy and neglected. J"
| Natural gas has been found in
many parts of the state while the
Californian was digging for some
thing else. In the East such dis
covery means excitement, hustle and
manufacturing, but here is the occa-
sion of but a little mild surprise.
The idea is prevalent in the East
that the gold mines of California
were worked out years ago. If the
discoveries of good mining properties
made every month in California
were made in the Congo State or
some island of the Pacific, they
would be heralded to the world, but
here are held undeveloped or nearly
so waiting with the idea of selling
out to some Englishman for four
prices.
The contrast between the old
Californian and the Eastern "hus-
tier" who has not yet become Mexi-
canized by the GLORIOUS climate is
strikingly shown in Southern Cali
fornia. There for decades the occa-
sional Californian raised his scant
crops of barley and beans; then the
consumptive came, not without the
thrift and vigor bred of the Eastern
winter. Where once was the parched
wheat with its uncertain yield, are
now vineyards and groves of orange
and lemon, watered from reservoirs
far away in the mountains, and some
degree of prosperity and thrift has
replaced the old indifference and
squalidness But north there has
been little change, and, though gen.
orally more productive, Central and
Northern California will still go on
raising wheat, barley and beans.
Though there is no country whose
advantages to the man of wealth and
energy are apparently greater, yet
there is little doubt that even he in
time will succumb to the climate and
indulge his dream of ease, happy if
in the enjoyment of fortune With
money fortune can be made, but
California now is no country for the
pioneer, and "No man of quite mod
crate means has any call to Califor-
MIA for an improvement of his for
tunes While wages are high, the
cost of living is proportionally high
er than in the East, and other adj
vantages than climate are unreal.
Even California fruit is retailed
more cheaply and in better quality
in the East than in the smaller Cali
fornla towns, and he who expects to
see it lying around to be had almost
for the asking will be disappointed.
Only the wealthy can afford fruit
even in California, and the best is
shipped. Nothing is done here but
for money, (even Western generosity
and hospitality is fable, and while
the ranch hand is held in but little
better esteem than the Chinese labor
with which he completes, there is
probably no place on earth where
fortune can be more fully-enjoyed.
