Immediately upon betrothal the lovers
exchange rings, which, If the course OF

The woman wears her betrothal ring on
the third finger OF her left hand until
she is married, aud then tits transferred
to the third finger of her right baud.
The husband continues to wear the ring

Stumbling Upon n Mine.

Gold was discovered In California
in IS4S, and in Colorado in 1858.
The discovery was accidental in both
cases, and the fact created the i'm
preston that mines were lying
around loose" Adventures drifted
about in hope of stumbling upon a
mine" Mr.. Thaycr, in his "Marvels
Of the New West" mentions several
instances of lucky stumbling"
Three men, while looking for gold IL
California, discovered the dead body
of a man who evidently had been
prospecting. "Poor fellow" said
one of the trio. ale has passed in
his checks" Lets give him de-
cent burial" said another "Soms
wife or mother will be glad if she
ever knows it," They began to dig a
grave. Three feet below the surface
they discovered signs Of gold. The
stranger was buried In another place,
and where they had located a grave
they opened a gold mine.
An adventurer who had drifted
into Leadville awoke one morning
without food or money. He went
out and shot a deer, which, in its
dying agOnies, kicked up the dirt and
disclosed signs Of gold. The poor
man staked out claim, and opened
one of the most profitable mines ever
worked in Leadyille.
Dead Man Claim, the name Civ
en- to another rich mine in Leadyille,
was discovered by a brOken-down
miner while digging a grave.
A miner died when where were
several feet Of snow on the ground.
His comrades laid his body in snow
bank, and hired a man for $50 to dig
grave. The graye-digger, after
three days absence, was found dig
cling a mine instead Of grave.
While excavating he had struck gold.
Forgetting the corpse and his bar
gain, he thought only OF the fact that
he had struck it rich.
An unsuccessful Australian miner
went up and down in Colorado for
several months, prospecting for
gold and finding none. One day he
sat down upon a stone, and while
musing over his hard luck, aimlessly
struck another stone with his pick.
He Clipped off a piece, and sprang to
his feet. The chip was rich gold
quartz
He hurried into the little town Of
Rosita, and went to the assay Office,
where teamster had just dumped
load Of wood. He agreed to saw the
wood to pay for assaying his Clipped
sample. The result Of the assay sent
him back to his claim" When he
had taken out of it $3.50, 900, he sold
the mine for $500, 900 in cash and one
million in stock.
But these "stumblings" are the ex-
ceptions to the rule that mines are
found by painstaking, intelligent
prospectors. They spend wearisome
months In exploring mountains and
gulches. They are mineralOgists,
biologists and, above all, practical
explorers, who can tell from twist"
in the grain Of the rock or from the
color of a spar seam whether paying
gold" can be mined In the region.

No Cobblers Nowadays.

There is no sense in calling shoe.
maker Of modern times cobbler. The
nearest thing to a cobbler to-day is the
custom made man who confines his at
tention exclusively to that one branch.
Machinery for making shoes in great
quantities and in sections is OF COMPARE
tive recent date, and prior to It's adop-
ton, the shoemaker, or cobbler, did the
entire business, from taking the measure
to collecting the money. In small towns
and villages he literally performed the
entire process himself, having Insufficient
trade to justify the employment oil an as
sistant, and in larger cities he superln:
tended the work from beginning to end
himself. The labor saving wonders OF
the times have practically swept THU
man out of the field, and there are lew
members of the trade who are reall,
sobblers.-New York Journal.

FASHION NOTES.

ColOred pearls set in ieweIry have be
come very popular.
The new French vrille or gimlet beuga-
lines are called ondine silk in the shops.
Rolling an1 curved hats have given
way to sharp, decisive looking plated
brim ones. 80
A new effect in embroidery is done on
coarse white net. On this hard-painted
satin flowers are appiqued. ~.-
There is furore for yellow, not only
in dress, but in household decorations
and especially floral additions.
The triple cape seems to be quite as
popular as ever, aud the wide, very full
plated bertha will be feature OF spring
costumes.
The organizes are effective in th
besuty of their Towering. The aoral
garniture of these well-beloved goods
crows more faithful to nature with each
new season.
While fewer walls are worn, there are
yet many ladies who cling to them. Tit
little vail of fue net is indispensable t.
keep the bang IN order; otherwise the
hair would blow about the face IN thu
most unbecoming fashion.
Large patterned flowers, like chrysau
themums, peoples or iris, are painted 10
design upon coarse satin. These are
cut out and pasted on the net, and when
dry stretched on very close and strong.
This work IS most effective for portieres
or panels for large screens.
Whenever a velvet belt or girdle can
be worn it is assumed, aud if velvet
rosette does not finish it, then a quaint
dull gold or silver buckle is worn. Thu
velvet used for these belts is not the
ribbon. but the velvet sold by the yard,
and which should be bought cut Ga the
bias.
Long coats with high, full sleeves, to
admit the huge dress sleeves, are ontici-
pated for spring. The leading charac-
teristic of these coats, some OF which
have already appeared on our Streets Is
their Aaring backs, repeating IN large,
auted folds the fare of the dress worn
beneath them.
If the ugly, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. hoop
skirts are to be widely adopted once
again, it will be because women in all
civilized lands have resolved that this
style OF dress is prettier, more becoming,
artistic aud better fitted to enhance their
personal appearance than the modes oil
the present hour.
A very elegant aud stylish new shoe
Is walking boot Of patent leather with
out the least sdornmsnt in the way oil
tip, or brogues, but cut in long, elegant
shape, With a thick English sole and
heel. 1t has a cloth top, with strap
or buckle under the instep to initiate the
nsatest fitting gaiter.
There Is nothing especially new in
ladies' rings. The favOrite shape OF the
season has either long marquise setting,
or is a straight band Of gold set AROUND
with gems. The smallest band rings,
which are the merest edgus Of gold, set
halfway round with diamonds, rubici
or emeralds, are still worn 10 groups oil
three, including one ring OF each kind

LADIES, COLUMN.
THE REVIVAL OF VELVET.

Velvet, which as a dress fabric has
been revived this winter, will be worn
more than ever in the early spiing for
visiting toilets. The severest styles are
preferable, and there should be no con-
trasting material used as garniture or in
combination. Black velvet is considered
to be universally becoming, but this is
not true. Tae pale blond with no color
in her hair or eyes should scrupulously
avoid it, but women OF the Anna Karenina
type, with dark hair, gray eyes and a
transparent skin look their best in this
materials.
When at all becoming it has Won
derfully softeuing and refining effect. -

Mexican Do. este AnimaIs.

The ancient Mexican knew nothing oil
the use of b"asts of burden. The llsms
wss wild and seemingly undesirable foi
domestic purposes. From the bison,
sheep and goat they derive little or no
benefit. The dog has always been
favored animal with the Mexicans, aud
has been used as beast OF burden to
carry their tents and draw their baggage,
as among the savage Comanches Of North
America. In the days before Cortes
and his conqueriug hosts invaded the
Aztec Kingdom the natives kept only the
small, dumb dog, which they fattcned
for the table. The Spsniards introduced
horned cattle and horses, which subse-
quently roamed wild, and to this day
vast herds and droyes occupy the plains
of Jslisco, Durango, Zacatecas and
chihuahua. - ST. Louis Republic.

Ten hens in a house that is ten
feet square, with yards ten times the
size of the house, is rule to follow.
Ten hens with one male is the correct
mating, and ten eggs under setting
hen in winter, are enough. Ten
weeks is long enough to keep broiler
before it goes to market, and pair
OF ducks or fowls should weigh not
over ten pounds. Ten cents per
pound is the average price for fowls
in market, and 10 cents should feed a
hen one month.

cause she had to 90 into mourning.
Thirty women and as many men attended
the sale. The bidding was lively, but
the prices brought were nothing in COM
parison to the alleged cost. An elabor
ately trimmed evening costume of royal
purple velvet, with gold embroidery,
made by Felix, of Paris, which originally
cost, so the auctioneer said, $4,000 was
knocked down for SIS. A Nile green

r Clever Surgery.

William Frey. who resides on Wash
ington avenue, Newport, Ky. has ten
year old daughter who was afflicted with
a compound club foot. The bones were
twisted and the foot turned to such an
angle that the girl walked on the side OF
her ankle and the toes pointed directly
up. A local surgeon ives asked to dc
something. He opened the foot and re.
moved the bones, leaving large hole in
the foot. To remedy this the surgeon
killed large chicken, and taking the
thigh bones sawed them to ct the spaces
left by the removal of the foot bones.
Antiseptics were applied, the incision
closed and sewed up, and after the foot
had been placed in proper position it
was made firm by splints and left alone.
The other day the spliuts were removed,
when it was found the chicken bones
had grown to the human bone, aud the
foot is now both slightly and useful. II
is said to be the first case Of the kind on
record. st. Louis Republic.
