THE ONLY YOSEMITE.

There are certain if the seven wonders OF
California which are yet comparatively un-
known and require dafadled description.
But the Yosemite Va ley can hardly be re-
rarded as one OF these. II is the song OF East

Coast; it is or should be 1he glory OF California

Yet. as no man is said 10 be prophet In his

lime grandeur of this unique valley seem TO be
taken very much on credit by the average Cali

A QrEEN'S LACES.

The Queen of Italy, like tho Prn-
cess of Wales, Is noted for her tate
in dress, though instead of the tailor
mado serges and chcviots in which the
princess is wont to dress, the Italian
Queen essays sumptuous brocades aud
vclveis rich in color and texture, like
tho robes of the stately ladies Titan
and EerOnose painted in the old days.
The Queen has been patron of the
lace-making industry of the Italian
people. encouraging the revival of the
old stitches and tho designing of new
patterns. They tell story of how
one particular stitch, in guipure, was
almost lost to the world in the decay
of tho art.
1t was discovered at last that bed
ridden old maker of Buram was
the only person alive who could do
the stitch, and by dint of good food
and wine she wa. fairly coaxed back
to life long enough to impart Ter
precious secret to the young lace
makers of the new Venetian school.
Queen Marghorlta Is rather short in
stature, but so well does she carry
herself that sue always conveys the
impression Of tall woman. Her
neck and arms are beautiful in outline
and tint, her skin delicate and creamy,
the color coveted by Italian women.
She speaks French. German, Italian
aud English, and her favorltc books
are those belonging to English litera.

Mallenblc Glass a Possibility.

emperor, expecting to receive al hand

throwing 1t violently on tho stone
floor, then taking out his hammer,
beat it into the former shape. Instead
of bestowing reward, tho emperor
ordered him TO be put to death, alleg.
Ing that such discovery would dim.
inisli the value of precious metals.
The story is probably apocryphal, as
perhaps is that other of six malleuble
glass mirrors sent from the Shah of
Persia to Spain in 1910, but both are
indications that the subject of glass
tomporing has long engaged tho atten-
tion of inventors. During the last
half century much progress has been
made in tcmpering glass, and, when
desired, it is now made much tougher
than the glass makers of former
times were able to produce. So there
is no reason to doubt that malleble
glass is among the possibilities of the
near future. American Carpet and
