CHEROKEE STRIP.
It's Opening Assured, But 1t Can Not BE
For Some Months.

Its Opening Assured, But 1t Can Not he
For Some Months.
TAHLEQUAH, l. T., April 3-The
opening of the Cherokee strip is an
assured fact After stormy debate,
which lasted all day, the ratification of
the amended treaty was passed by both
the house and the senate of the ma
tional council. Chief Harris will sign
it at once, and then nothing will re-
main to be done but to pay over the
money to the delegation, which will be
appointed to visit Washington in ac-
cordance with the terms of the bill.
Congressman Peel gives it as his opin-
ion that the strip can not possibly be
thrown open before July l, as besides
the allotments to the Cherokees and
the settlement of the intruder question
the Topkawa lands will all have to be
surveyed. There is general rejoicing
here and all along the border over the
action of the council, which was more
prompt than was looked for.

There is no one article of woman toilets
that 30 greatly makes or mars the effect as
q whole as does the hat or bonnet worn. A
thing Of beauty on milliner's block may
prove frightful object on the wrong wom-
ans head. This season one may wear ex-
actly whatever headgear she likes and still
be In fashion. The only excuse then for an
unbecoming bonnet is the lack of good taste.
Bonnets are for the most part small, though
not so grotesquely tiny as they have been at
some Of our extremes of fashions. Leghorn
is much in favor, and in direct contrast to it
the toughest and most rustic looking straws
also are much in vogue. Many of these are
woven in two colors and with capital effect.
Toques are of course in order. A pretty one
is principally composed of the ribbon straw,

The possibility of photographing colors
directly from nature Seems to be at last
proved. The theory of the process belongs
TO M. Lipmann and its practical application
to NJ. Louis Lumiere of Lyons. By means
of his special preparations, the secret of
which has not transpired, III. Lumiere is
enabled after an exposure of about half an
hour to obtain q faultless Photographic re-
production Of oolors. Among the things
thus chromatically photographed were
boxes of matches, Japanese screens, stuffs,
nosegays-nay, even landscapes from ma
ture, looking for all the world like very
clever studies In water colors, the dull gray
Of the houses, the brown of the soil, the va
rious shades of green of the grass, fruit and
foliage, the deep blue of the sky and the
light, laughing blue that peeps surrepti-
tiously through riffs in the heecy clouds
all colors, hues and tints were there.

How the Watch Is Worn.

Fashions change from year to year with
respect to watches, and the bracelet set with
a miniature timepiece is as out of date as
the chatelaine hooked on the waist. There
are only two really fashionable ways Of
wearing watch-either concealed in the
bosom of the dress, the short chain with its
weighted ball alone visible, or suspended to
Q brooch, more or less in the form of bow,
fastened to the side of the bodice like dec
Grafton. In this form, when the brooch and
watch case are set with diamonds. it is ad.
missible as an evening ornament. OF course
the watch is small. The long, fine gold
chains, with pearls introduced at intervals,
and the chains composed of small diamonds
strung together by fine silver wire are re.
served for the eyeglass.

Plate Glnss Bricks.

These are made from the sand used in
glassmaking and heretofore considered
worthless after having served that purpose.
A peculiarity of these plate glass bricks,
which are perfectly white, is that they with
stand frost and are not attacked by acids.
They will also resist a crushing force Of
from 800 to nearly 1000 pounds on 0.155
square inch. They are stated to be much
superior to others not only in point of du-
rability, but in appearance.

Paper Stockings.

German invention-viz, paper stockings.
1t is told that the stockings are made of
a specially prepared impregnated paper
stock, which has an extraordinary effect on
perspiring feet. The moisture is absorbed
by the paper as rapidly as it is formed, and
the feet remain dry and warm, while the
constant temperature maintained in the
shoes is said to be a great preventive of colds.

Ohio Valley Manufacture says simple
and economical way of tarring sheet iron
pipes to keep them from rusting is as fol-

1t Is declared that the effect of this treat
ment will be to make the iron practically
proof against rust for an indefinite period,
rendering future painting unnecessary.

Of three wheels, pendulum, two electro

to the train, but to the pendulum, and only
enough power is required to overcome the
lost motion of the pendulum. The two
electro-magnets are arranged similar to a

Rushing After Extremes.

After making desperate efforts to be
practical in our dress we are now rushing
to the other extreme, and sensible and be-
coming tailor made gowns have been dis.
carded for frocks all frills and furbelows.
Many women won't wear a tailor made
dress because no tailor made dress must
have big sleeves. A plain serge skirt, with
short open coat, is the only kind of sensible
dress left us

SUMMER MILLINERY.
The Colorless Woman, the Art Patron and

The Colorless Woman, the Art Patron and
the Clever Woman In Matters of Dress.
It is curious thing that the colorless
woman-the woman with no mind of her
own, that is-generally goes in for gowns
to match. She usually affects the most In
sipid, most uninteresting shades of gray,
fawn grays and drabs Her taste in dress,
like her character, is indefinite. She is a
vague woman. Quite as despairing as the
colorless woman in the matter Of dress are
the women who profess to take profound
interest in art. They wear gowns of the
most ghastly green's garnished perhaps
with chiffon bow, and hats of the floppy
pattern, thrust fiat on the brain. The clev-
crest woman in the matter of dress is the
plain woman, who contrives never to let you
know she's plain. To be successful in this
respect one must have natural good taste.
It's no use to put ones self entirely in the
hands of a good dressmaker or milliner.
Dressmakers need directing. They can't be
expected to know a customers weak or
strong points as well as she should know
them herself. All women, except those
with hopelessly bad figures ard no throats,
pay for dressing. A gown is usually be-
coming IL It is the same color as the wearer's
eyes. A bright bandeau under the brim of
q hat is apt to have an improving effect
Good taste is thing to be thankful for.

Remember to grasp your nettle as re-

Cleopatra's Asp,

There is in the reptile house at the
Zoo a specimen Of Cleopatra's asp;
not, it should be observed, the jeweled
variety found some few months ago
in st. Johns Wood, but an asp of
flesh and blood, or perhaps, having
regard to its anatomy generally, we
should say OF skin and bone. This
little snake is provided with sand,
into which it can burrow, a practice
to which it is addicted in its native
haunts. This position is IN extremely
good one for biting the heel OF the
traveller, who cannot always retort
by brusing the head Of the snake, for
the animal in question is one OF those
many creatures which have a general
mode of coloration experimenting to-
the surroundings among which they
live. The asp is, like many frequent
ers of the desert. desert-colored. The
usually accepted theory about this
is that the animals so colored escape
detection, or take a mean advantage
OF their deceptive hues to steal q
march upon some harmless but
moderately conspicuous beast. This
snake has a pair of little horns
upon it's head. When it is halo
buried in the sand these would projeth
and perhaps excite the curiosit iw-

might pay for his inquisitivenesshtof,

RUBBER HEELS ON SHOES.

The New Continuance ls a Good
Cure for Some Nervous Trobles.
81 am surprised that people, who
are naturally nervous, do not take
more advantage OF the rubber heel to
shoes. The incessant Earring OF a SOL
id heel on a granitoid sidewalk is cal
culated to drive a nervous man half
out of his mind, and to make people
nervous who never realized before that
they had any nerves at all," says a
writer in the St. Louis Globe Demo-
crat.
"The first attempts in the direction
of rubber heels were not wholly sue
cessful, because while they checked
the vibration, they did not last any
length of time. Now, however, it is
possible to get rubber heels which can
not be detected from leather ones ex-
cept by the feel while walkingon them,
and, as there is a leather base, the
question of durability does not come
up at all. was recommended some
months ago to try the rubber heels on
account of a prolonged nervous trou-
BILE, and 1 could not go back to the
old kind now.
"Any pair of shoes can be fitted up
in this way, and the comfort is so
great that, when the fact is generally
discovered, l 4 doubt whether any shoes
will be made at all without the pre-
caution and convenience.

A TERRIBLE JOURNEY.

Blondin's Fearful Struggle With a
Lunatic on a High Rope.
Blondin, the renowned rope walker,
usually carried a man upon his back
when walking the tight-rope. Form
erly he was wont to bargain with
someone to accompany him on this
dangerous journey. On the occasion
OF a performance in Chicago a man Of
fered his services gratis. Blondin &C.
cepted them and assembled the rope
with his living burden. When the pair
had reached the middle ofthe ropethe
man began to laugh heartily.
"What is it that amuses you?" the
rope-dancer asked with astonishment.

me. was thinking what sort of a
face you would pull if, during the next
half minute, both of us were to fall

"But we shall not FALL" replied
Bloudin reassuringly.
"But l have determined upon this
occasion to take my life"
At the same moment the man be-
gan to wriggle about, so that the rope
dancer nearly lost his balance. He,
however, soon composed himself,
dropped his balancing pole and
eripped the man so firmly with his
hands that the latter was unable to
move. Then, continuing his walk, al
though in a state OF great trepidation,
he arrived safely at the end OF the
rope, and, allowing his living burden
to slide from his shoulders, he admin.

Naval Architecture Of Olden Times
Being Reproduced in To-day's
Men-of-War.
The Greek and Roman galleys, when
compared with the ships OF the middle
ages, show not only greater stability
but fitness for many uses besides that
of merely cutting the water, says a
writer in St. Nicholas. 1none we find
at the waters edge a sheaf OF twelve
huge swords Or prongs for tearing an
enemy at the water line, while above
are two iron spear-headed rams to be
run out violently by aconcealed crew,
and shaped either to smash in bull.
warks OF to hook on to or cut the
enemy's rigging. From the platform
above archer's could discharge
their arrows. or repel boarders.
Other war galleys were provided
with catapults, from which great
masses OF stone or marble shot were
hurled upon the enemy's ship or
amid his rowers. Some OF the larger
ships carried great cranes, which. be.
ing lowered toan opposing ship, lifted
with great graphing irons her bow or
stern high enough in air to render her
helpless for attack or defense. These
machines, called "corvi." were in
vented by the famous engineer
A%rchimedes, and were used by him
with terrible effect at the seige OF
Syracuse, whereth the attacking galleys,
according to Plutarch, advancing too
close to the walls, were spared or
grappled with great iron prongs, and
after being lifted from the water by
the ends were swayed to
and fro, whilled in midair and
dashed to fragments against the
rocks. Though we may doubt the say
ing that "there is nothing new under
the sum-" we certainly find naval archi-
lecture repeating itself, for our mod
ern men-of-war are abandoning the
open ~fghting-tops at their
and using the round basket-shaped
tighting-towers which appeared 80 Oft
