Split Cane With Their Teeth.

There is one booth in jackson Park
that escapes the collector of the de-
partment of concessions. Because its
profits are devoted to entertainments
in woman's building the salesroom
conducted by the board of lady man

of goods. They are sent by the
woman's exchanges of all large towns
and cities, and articles are replaced as
fast as sold.
Some "nests" of baskets made by
two Attakpas Indian women are at

old women, who are both over eighty

of the Attakpas tribe, which many

in Southern Louisiana, where these
women live. They found much diff.
Guilty in making these "nests" each
basket growing smaller as it ap-
proaches the center-because they
have lost most of their teeth, by means
of which the cane is split. The work
is exquisitely fine, distinctly Egyptian

ChalcedOny.

''Here is something new and neat
and sure to be popular, said a dealer
in crockery ware and china to Mail
and Expressman.
cit is called chalcedony, and is the
latest product of the kiln"
1t was beautiful piece of ware and
looked as if it was cut from agate.
There were the same pretty veinings,
fractures and seeming cracks with
gold moulding.
"The manufacturers are turning it
out in all sorts of shapes and for every
kind of use," continued the man, "and
it is finding considerable favor.
"Here you see is a complete dinner
set from soup to coffee. These white
and gold pieces are for soup and meat
and then, of course, these plates with
the fish designs are for the fish. The
same idea, you see, is carried out with
the plates for game, all of them being
decorated with birds and things of that
kind, and then here we have the salad
dish like Il cabbage lettuce leaf and
little lettuce leaf plates to match.
''Makes very dainty set, doesn't
it Oh, there are constant novelties
in our business as in all others and
changes occur continuously. Glass
ware is being decorated now, too, with
garlands and wreaths and other things,
but it will never crowd out cut glass.

An English Artists Luck.

Lee Stanton, an English painter,
bought leather yalise at the Grand
Trunk Railroad Sale of unclaimed bag
gage for two dollars. On opening it
he found l07 shares in the Western
Gas Improvement Company, of Chica-
go, fully paid up and worth Sl07, 900.
The valise was the property of Louis
Halbetstadt, who died in Brockville,
Canada, in October, 1891, of alcohol
ism. He went TO Brockville from Ma
piersville, Ill. A large sum of money
and SOME jewelry, which he was known
to have had just prior to his death,
were missing and it was believed at
the time that be had been robbed, -

A Quick Reply.

In one of the kindergartens the teacher
was endesvoring TO familiarize the
children with the words "cold" and
"hot" at sight without spelling them
by letters When she asked them what
they would get if they went out OF
doors in winter without their coats and
pointed at the word, they caught the
cue at once and answered "cold" in
stantly, but "hot" proved a puzzler
for a moment.
''Now, Mary" said the teacher to
the little girl in the end seat, "suppose
that you we're standing right close mp
in front of great big fire, Just flaming
and faring and burning and blazing

The other day a drummer on the
Chicago and Northwestern Road pre-
sented his milage book TO the conduc-
tor, and the latter, after asking him a
few question, put the book into his
pocket, saying, "Will see you later. "
After while the drummer asked for
his book, and the conductor refused to
surrender it. Thereupon the drummer
got off at a station and telegraphed
ahead for an officer to arrest thief.
The officer boarded the train and the
drummer pointed out the conductor,
who was arrested in spite of his pro-
tests and taken before a magistrate,
who fined him 81 and costs, and re-
turned the book to its owner. AS they
were both leaving court the conductor
said, '1'll smash your face for this y
Thereupon the drummer Immediately
had him rearrested and taken before
the same judge, who put him under
bonds to keep the peace at more costs.

There is great complaint at the poverty
of the clergy. 1t is almost as grievous
to-day as in Sydney Smiths time, and
the New Orleans Picayune suggests
that the witty and sarcastic jibes of
that reverend satirist ON the policy
that permits such conditions might be
reproduced If England is to have an
established church she should not give
princely incomes to bishops and leave
the humber clergy to abject poverty
and misery.

pagation of edible fish in the waters all
over the country, stocking rivers with

a total of 9O6, $50, 492 eggs, fry and

largest operations were in shad. o

Russia I'm the Pamirs.

Close upon the announcement that
Great Britain has lately practically
recognized the Chinese claim to SOW
ereignty in the Pamir country, in
Central Asia, comes the news that Rus
sia has already established a garrison
in the disputed territory, and that she
is preparing to move a large number of
troops into the region during the com
ing summer.
The Pamir strip is generally recog-
nized as being without the Russian
sphere of action in Asia, and it is COM
monty accepted as certain that neither
China nor the Government of Great
Britain can assent to the occupation of
the territory by Russian troops.
Threatened raids into the country have
already been the subject of urgent
protests on the part of Great Britain,
and once already this same subject has
been the cause of seriously strained re-
lations between the two countries.
The claim of the Chinese Government
to sovereignty in the disputed territory
would seem to point to trouble between
China and Russia should the report
ofthe Russian occupation be confirmed,
and as Great Britain has practically
assented to the Chinese claim, and has
herself already protested against the
advance of Russia into the Pamirs, any
trouble that may grow out of the affair
is sure to involve that power.
The news from Central Asia will,
therefore, be watched with interest,
the more particularly as there is a
deep-seated conviction that the next
war is likely to arise from Russian ag-
gression in that part of the world. -
