DISSEMINATING Hints.

A wealth OF dainty, exquisite ma
terial in silk, linen, zephyr and lawn,
and fancy for simple quaint designs
in costumes, simplities this season the
| work OF the home dressmaker and So
cures even to the neophite modicum
OF success. New lucy, flOwer-strewn
fabrics would have picturesque air
If only wrapped about women fair in
uncut swathing folds, after the fashion
OF Cleopatra's robes. The first thing
to remember is that skirts are longer,
and longer, and when bias are four
yards in width and are hung over a
foundation skirt; when straight are
three and a half yards at the foot
and considerably sloped away
ut the top, even in cotton goods
or soft, wool-like challie or berege,
which latter is orc of the most
useful aad durable of the new arrivals.
These skirts may be simply hemmed,
and tucked gathered into two or three
festoons over the petticoat, or trim
roed in any fashion known to past or
present modes. Three orfour rows of
cabochons, jet, or jewels ornament
some dresses; seven or nine rows OF
large beads sewcd on in consecutive
rows; graduated hounces, festooned
;lounces of embroidery or lace, looped
with empired bows sewed fiat against
the skirt; tiny ruflles, very full and

when finished, piled one above the
other, and ribbon and embroidery
put on i'll an endless variety of styles.
AS for sleeves take the piece of any
thing you happen 20 havein the house
or can pick up on a bargain-counter
puff it, frill it, make the top of one
thing and the bottom of an
other, aud you have quite the
most approved thing. Simple
bishop sleeves, however, are much
liked in lawns, muslins and ginghams,
and the mutton leg, much wrinkled,
long, and edged with frills falling on
the hand, is n favorite for soft silks
and dimities and other thin materials.
The latest within is to have the full
sleeve left entirely open up the back
seam to reveal the arm, a mode which
has been invented for women with
pretty arms, but will not become very
generally worn. The bodice may be
anything from q straight piece of
goods gathered about the neck and ut
the waist to the regularly fitted and
boned coat with trimmings OF velvet
and lace, though the material be of q
kind which may be laundried. . The
Innings of these thin and inexpensive
gowns should be silk, if you can afford
sweep and swing which distinguishes
the fashionable gown, and, besides,
the delicious rustic which women dote

An Amusing. but Ghostiy story OF the
HumorIst's Burial.

HumorIst's Burial.
One OF the most amusing incidents
connected with Nasty occurred just
after his death. It has been kept out
of the newspapers up to this time, but
the story is too good to lose. Nasty
was a great favorite In Toledo. and
when he died his funeral was large
one. There were hundreds OF car
r,aees and bushels OF flowers. After
the funeral the body was placed for
some days prior to its final burial In a
a large vault In the cemetery. Now,
Il happened that on the same day that
the funeral of the great humorist took
place Toledo had another big ceremony
OF the same nature. The deceased In
the latter case was one OF the most
loved society ladies OF the CITY, ana the
flowers here were also numerous ana
beautiful.
This lady was also put In the same
vault with Nasty. and the floral Offer
ings were carried out and placed on
her coffin. After the ceremony was
over, as often occurs in such cases,
the family Of the lady wanted to pre-
serve photographs OF these floral
pieces, and they ordered their Irish
oervant to go to the vault and bring
the flowers into the photograph gdl-
lery. Nov Patrick Murphy---for so l
will call the man for shoi't-had q holy
horror OF cemeteries. He was very
superstitious, and he approached the
vault with fear and trembling. He
gradually got to the door, however.
and found it open. He looked in and
then gave terrible shrek. dropped
his hat and ran as II the devil was
after him. He did not stop running
until he came to factory q long dis
lance from the cemetery. Here he
was stopped by crowd OF workmen,
who demanded what was the matter.
All breathless he told them that
Nasty had either been buried alive or
that his ghost had broken of the top
OF the coffin, and he was sitting up in
it. The workmen laughed at him and
called him fool. He persisted in his
story and they finally decided to go
and see. After much persuasion they
succeeded in dragging the Irishman
back with them and finally reached the
door of the vault. They looked in and
found that the Irishman had told the
truth. The body. in its grave clothes
was half out of the coffin, but it was
not alone. as when the man first saw
it. A sculptor stood beside 1t, and he
was taking, with plaster of paris. a
death mask for bust which had been
ordered by the family. He had ar
ranged the body for his work and had
gone to get his tools when Patrick
came on the scene and imagined he
saw ghost. i don't wonder he was
scared. Do you?"

The Latest In woman-s Wells.

The new wells not only show stars
and crescents here and there upon
them, but spiders and flies The most
curious is veritable spiders web net
with one tolerably large and three
small spiders meandering over it. The
effect is more unique than beautiful,
and rather too suggestive. If the
young woman who wears it rejoices in
bleached hair and rather loud get-up
and gives you an invitation to pay
her visit you will keep thinking OF
that old story about the spider and
the fly, and things suggestive OF such
unpleasant incidents are not desirable
for belongings. -Bab's Letter.

NERVE AND TACT.
Both are Necessary in the Management
of wild Animals.

IOtn are necessary IN tna ManaEcmcnt
of wild Animals.
The late Frank Ives Frayne of the
blood and thunder drama had a won
derful knack in managing the animals
that appeared on the stage with him.
To inquirers who wondered how he
did it he always replied that tho secret
lay in his GOODNESS in time Of danger. and
in his presence OF mind. He called it
nerve" But there was something
else in Frayne besides nerve. His an
imals were always in his thoughts. and
while he ruled them with rod of iron
they obeyed him because he instinct
lively knew when to be hard and when
to be gentle. In summer,,on his farm
near Madison, N. j., he had many of
his wild animals tied to the posts q
the board fence. Any pleasant day
Frayne might be seen walking along
the fence petting or feeding two or
three bears, some monkeys and hyenas,
and other members Of his curious hap
by family strung at intervals in front
Of the house. Frayne was very proud
of Old Duke. or Bob Ingersoll. as his
stage name went the lion that killed
his Clydesdale stallion four years ago.
1t was Frayne's habit to carry in his
pocket pictures Of Old Duke, which he
gave to his friends at the conclusion
OF n story how Old Duke had killed
three men at one blow each with his
paw. The story was founded on fact
Frayne had photographs also Of Old
Duke lying down with bantam hen
perching on his name. The hen and
lion were friends for several years.
No one but Frayne had ever been able
to conquer Old Duke.

Committed Suicide.


B. x. Booze, the announcement
of whose death by suicide, as pub
lished below, is taken from the Sc
attic Post-Intelligencer, was at one
time resident of Ketchum, and is
we'll known to our people. Mr..
Boone has twice before attempted
to take his life, both attempts end
ing in failure, but at last has sue
ceeded in working the scheme to a
finish. It is strange what possesses
so many people to destroy them
selves; but possibly the solution of
the problem is to be found in the
individual solution Of the other
problem: Is life worth living?
Whatever the cause, the ratio OF
suicides to population has certainly
materially advanced in the last
quarter Of century:
Blk. Boone, we'll known contractor,
succeeded in committing suicide BY shoot.
ing himself with pistol through the
forehead early this morning. This was
the third attempt he had made to take
his life. The shooting must have taken
place this morning about 3 o'clock. - he
was seen on the street late last night and
distinctly heard in his room by one of
the proprieters of the Louvre saloon, who
occupies a room Immediately adjoining
that of the unfortunate.
At about half past o'clock the first
knowledge of the terrible tragedy was
ascertained by painter of the name OF
Brown, who had some work to do in
Boone's shop this morning. When he
entered the shop he discovered blood on
the floor. which he perceived had trick
led from the floor above, when suspicious
that some crime had been committed, or
some of the inmates of the upper apart
ments had met with an accident, he went
and informed David SpOor of his discov-
cry. They then notified Officer Furlong,
who went with them to the shop. Officer
Furlong proceeded up stairs and forced
| the outer door open and entered Boone's
room and found it vacant. Then he went
into . room at the rear of the building,
where horrible sight met his gaze. 1t
was the PROSTATE form of Boone lying
on his face in q pool Of blood. Under
his form was pistol and looking glass.
He turned the body over and found the
face covered with blood issuing from the
wound, the features almost beyond rec
ognition.
Boone left letter in which in ramb-
! ling way he blames whisky for all his
troubles. The only relatives Of deceased
are his mother and sister, residing at
North Beach, near San Francisco.

Taxing Mining Claims.
The fact that the legislature

The fact that the legislature will
probably adjourn to-day, makes ad.
vice to that body impractical to say
the least Still the temptation to
remark on the utter foolishness OF
the proposition to tax mining
claims on the basis of SIS an acre
is irresistible, not that any good
will probably come Of it, but merely
for the sake of the sense of relief
one feels after pronouncing a NAL.
ediction. Our impression had been
that taxation to be just should be
equal and uniform; that miners
were citizens like other men, and
their property subject to taxation on
the same principle, and under the
same laws that applied in the case
Of farms, stores and other property
and that the power of the -egisla-
ture over the matter extended only
to authorizing the levy of a speci-
fed yearly per cent oftax upon the
property of the citizen for purposes
of revenue. The act of the legis.
lature taxing our miners has, how
ever, if correctly reported, dispelled
these erroneous views. It makes
the miners a distinct class, and
their property distinct from all
other property; and assuming that
the miner has not capacity enough to
give his property in to the assessor,
fixes the price at which all patented
mining claims shall be assessed at
SIS an acre. Imagine a legislative
body fixing the price of all farms in
the State at SIS an acre for purpo-
ses of taxation Preposterous Yet
stupid as such an act would be, it
would be even more tolerable than
a law fixing such price on mines,
because ell farms have some value,
and it is q we'll known fact that
some mines are entirely worthless,
while others would be cheap at
81, 900 an acre. After providing for
the taxation of the mines as other
property is taxed, if the Legislature
had left it to the intelligence of the
miner to give his property in to the
assessor at a fair valuation, the
work would have been much better
done, and the State would have
Jared better than it is likely to un-
der the wretched SIS an acre pro-
vision.

bullion, ores and base bullion trans
ported by express, freight and other
conveyance during the year 1890,
is reported by J. J. Valentine, Su-

the list of producers of the precious

is the richest known mining section
on the globe, and last years output,
regard being had to the insufficiency

for reducing ores, is strongly con-
