5 Where Asbestus Is Found.

Asbestus, which has come to be largely
utilized by electrical engineers, is one OF
them interesting substances employed
in the arts. Many new beds of this ma
terial are being discovered, but except
from the Canadian and italian beds the
specimens secured are practically useless
for manufacture. Large quantities of
floss and powder asbestus are obtained
from the district Of tle Susa vslley,
Piedmont, and in the second distric..
about 80 miles long, in the Aosta valley,
the deposits are said to be practically in
exhaustible. A third district, which is
still more important, centers at Valtel-
lima, the route to which passes Milan and
Como to Colico., The Canadian deposits
are in the Black Lake district, between
Quebec and Sherbrooke.-New Yorf

Education In the West.

Eastern states might we'll take les
son from the west in the matter of high
er education. With the exception of
Massachusetts, and Connecticut our com
munities on the Atlantic border are sad
ly deficient in this respect. It will soon
be question whether those desiring the
best university education fob their chill
dren should not send them to some of
the great institutions in the west rather
than the older centers of learning in
Europe.
Foremost among establishments of
this kind in the new University of Chi
cago, which promises to eclipse every
thing in the way of facilities for study
ever attempted on this continent. The
buildings are models of excellence, and
no expense has been spared to secure as
professors those who are pre-eminent ia
every department Of human knowledge.
In higher mathematics, astronomy, en-
cheering and applied mechanics the
west far excels the east.
Even the smaller towns have public
libraries, generously supported by the
local authorities, and open in the even
ings, afording unlimited opportunities
for self education which would put to
shame New York, with its inadequate
facilities. The east should wake up, or
it will be found that this process will
surely transfer to the west the scepter of
influence, for knowledge is power."-,

Life In Suburban Towns.

A French woman recently wrote to a
Paris litterateur asking for remedy for
the "one-day -hke-another complaint"
81 live she says, Gin a dull provincial
town, where there is not a woman who
can read or talk; If I read, have no one
to discuss the book with, and have ar
rived at the desperate point of despair
where would like to bite some one."
The litterateur, according to the ac-
count, did not much help her, as he
merely, in reply, admitted the fact in a
quotation from De Musset, which was
in effect that there is no more common
trouble in life than the trouble of a com
mon soul.
Perhaps the only echo of the French
woman's wall could be found over here
in the suburban towns of large city.
The smallest detached villages and
towns of America seem to have occu-
patton and excitement of one sort or an
other that make life endurable. Those,
however, which are merely the overflow
of a metropolitan center are often the
loneliest places on earth.
Ihave almost died with the monotony
of my life," said a woman living in a
small Jersey suburb recently. "until
now, when can get into New York
oftener, because my children are out of
the nursery. There is absolutely no
neighborhood life, everybody looking to
town for social recreation; there is only
a half hearted interest in church affairs;

village as possible. New York Times.

PERLETTE FIGON AND BLUE FABLE GOWNS
est skirt was a trifle less than yards
around the bottom, and that it would be
next to impossible to make them any
larger. The majority Of the dresses that
are stiffened out are from 81 to 4 yards
around. They look much wider than
they really are because of the stiffening
which makes them fall in stiff waves
rather than close. fat folds, as they did
before; but it is safe to say that no one
but the skirt dancers wear such exag-
gerated widths, and they have the thin

have noticed great many pieces Of
wooden goods with raised dots in con-
trasting colors as well as darker shades
of the same color. The dots are small
and regularly placed. think one, where
the ground was lovely shade of tan and
the little tufts were of green silk, was as
pretty a piece of goods as has come I'M
der my vision in many day. The dots
were SO small and SO close that at first
glance from one position it looked all
green, and then another view showed the
underlying color. There is something
delightful always in the unexpected, and
that, think, is why the changeable eff
fects have taken such strong hold on
public fancy.
There are several beautiful new goods
in just such effects, and the importer
told me that he thought by winter they
would be used to make vests for men. I

very beauteous by nature as to be able
to do away with all ornament and all

Up to now-that is, for many genera

derived from neckties, and even there
they were greatly restricted to the most
modest and unobtrusive colorings; but
