MAKING MILL1NER's FOLDS.

wrinkle. To do this it is better to pin one edge of the bias material along the straight edge of the cutting board. The points of the pins can be easily stuck into the wood sufficiently to hold 1t firmly. Then measure the width you intend to cut the strips at either end of the board, and stick another pin into the wood at these points. Then, with D yardstick, chalk line with French chalk from one pin to the other. Take the pins from the ma terial and cut the strip at the chalk line, repeating the process of pinning the material to the board for the next strip.
 For fold of ordinary size, which is fve-eighths of an inch wide when fin ished, the strips should be cut an inch and half wide. Fold one edge over little less than half an inch on the wrong side, as at b, Fig. 1; baste it with accuracy, then fold over the outer edge, Fig. 2, at a, so that the edge will | not quite meet the edge of b. There should be about an eighth of an inch space between them. Baste this care- fully. ..
 Fold b over onto a. Slip thin, nar- row whalebone through a, bend it slightly over the forefnger, and blind- stitch b to a, running the sewing as near as possible to the outer edge of the whalebone without running it off. Slide the whalebone along as the work progresses.
 The whalebone will prevent the nee dle from going through to the other side of the fold, thus spelling the sym 1 metry of the work, and it is not neces- sary to use the care which is needed when there is no whalebone.

Smith,s Armx Starvinr.

GRAND JUNCTION, Col, June 22.-A few industrials, members of Smiths army, struggled in here yesterday. They report about 15O of their com rades at the point of starvation and thirst scattered along the desert be- tween here and Salt Lake, The Rio Grande Western will not carry them, and the trainmen have strict orders to keep them off. Gen. Smith is here and is endeavoring, with poor success, to send aid to them. If something is not done many deaths may be ex- pected

the riders leaning we'll toward the. hillside to assist in maintaining an up. right position they reached the bottom as part ofsa small avalanche. By maneuvers of this character we gained ground on the much-fatigued game, and, though our horses were blown, we at last overhauled the pair. A mo- ment later first one and then another native swung the fatal bolas. The an- imals fell with their legs bound fast, and the long, exhausting chase ended.
 'The bolas is a peculiar weapon. Heavy balls, half as large as ones fists, are fastened one to either end of a leather thong. Sometimes the bolas has three balls-two lighter ones at uached one to either end of short thong and heavier ball to one end of a longer thong, the other end of which joins the middle of the shorter thong. When sufficient impetus has been gained by whirling these balls about the head they are let go to twine about the legs of whatever they may have been properly directed at.
 Guanacos are easily domesticated, and grow so tame as to become nui- sances. They persist in following you about, treading right on your heels, and nosing in your pockets. Ifrepulsed they get angry and spit at you. Their saliva is strongly acid, and if not washed off will burn the skin. If, it should chance to lodge on scratch OF in an eye it may cause great irritation and soreness. The skins of the kids make beautiful and soft rugs, but as they are very small many of them are required. The Indians dye the under sides of the skins with dull colors, which they obtain from certain kinds of enrthS D

 High Hand at Pennsylvania Mine-Ths
 Birmingham Mine Disaster.
 PUNxsAUTAwNEY, Pa., June 22.- Walston last night contained about 1000 foreigners, who were in an atti- tude far from being peaceable. The mine officials were in town, and the Italians and Huns were running things at the mines to suit themselves. An additional lot of firearms were pur- chased yesterday, and the hardware merchants could have sold 100 Win chesters if they had had them. Few English-speaking miners are now in Walston. Those that are there are compelled by the foreigners to stay as their lives are threatened if they att tempt to leave. The citizens of Punk sautawney and Walston are much alarmed at the present critical situa- ton, and held joint mass meeting last night to take some action in regard to bringing guards and undesirable men. The Italians admit they have a Frenchman among them who is an adept at making bombs, and they have plenty of good ones made.
 The greatest fear is now that there will be an attack upon the English speaking miners and their families. They have been driven from their homes, and in the darkness fathers and husbands have been separated from their wives and children, and the wom- en and children are running around crying aloud for protection. Word has just come to town that the more dar- ing of the foreigners want to come to this place and search for the English-speaking men, and should they come it is feared there will be trouble. Citizens are greatly excited and the more timid are in terror lest an aw- full riot takes place, should the foreign CTS come to town. The troops will ar- rive some time to-day.
 THE MARY LEE MINE HORROR. MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 22.-A Birming- ham special says the fire in the Mary Lee mine continues burning in spite of all efforts to extinguish it, and experts claim several days must elapse before 1t is under control. Of the fifty me n who were overcome by the heat and dragged out, four are are dead, two more expected to die at any minute and twenty others are in critical condition and many of these may not survive. The two men are still missing and are believed to be dead in the mines.
 Mine owners are loud in their claims that the mine was fired by disgruntled strikers, and the strikers in turn arc highly'indignant over the charge.

 A favorite object of the reckless Welshmen's pursuit is the guanaco, and in describing the chase of two of these animals, he says: "The dogs and horses saw them, too, and we were off. It was straight-away gallop, our horses straining every nerve and muscle to the utmost. We lost sight of the fleet creatures, but deserted them again from slight elevation running in another direction. We were thus able to ride over shorter leg of the triangle than the one they traversed. Presently we succeeded in coming well up on the fleeing animals. But again they drew away, and again we headed them off by going down the steep side of ravine. Here the horses had little foot hold. The loose soil slid from under their feet so rapidly that they were compelled to abandon locomotion of their own. With legs spread out and

OGDEN, Utah, June 22.-An after noon paper contains a special from Bishop Hammond, head of the Mormon church in San Juan county, Utah, urg- ing that United States troops be sent into that part of the territory which lays just west of the Ute reservation, in Colorado. He says that large bands of the Indians are rowing over the country, stealing the settlers cattle and sheep, destroying crops, and claim ing that the whites are trespassers on land belonging to them by treaty The settlers are few in number and wholly at the mercy of the Indians, who are every day becoming more aggressive

names as Jones, Hughes, Mathews, Ed wards, Williams and Evans abound, and the owners of them are as Welsh as their people at home. They are poor but thoroughly independent. The gen. eration born in the country was brought up on horseback and can vie with the Patagonian Indian in horsemanship.
 Though the country swarms with ducks, geese and cartridges few of the Welshmen indulge in shooting, because many do not own even so much as an old musket, and the majority of those who have firearms have not the wherewithal to purchase ammunition. But hunt ing they may and do enjoy, and whoever desires hard fiding and rare sport may find both with the Patagonian Welsh boys. A meet may be prearranged or few hunt en- thusiasts may happen together on a cloudy afternoon in the harvest season when they have nothing else to do. The quarry is foxes and large species

HOW TO DRAPE LACE.

An Easy and Charming Way. to Beautify
 Toilet Table.
 Lace and muslin are not often seen on toilet tables nowadays, but grace 'ful way which has lately gained favor is to take a length of muslin, soft silk or lace, allow it to fall to the ground at one side of the table, carry it up to the edge at the other side, and secure it bysmall tacks, hidden under couple of smartly-tied broad ribbon bows. If the table has set of drawers on each side of the open space in front, the drapery conceals one set and reveals the other.
 In pretty, simple rooms it Is much the fashion to have everything in it of the colored linen, which washes so per fectly. One design for the coverlid is a powdering of large, loosely-tied bows worked in coral stitch in white crewels and silk, with or without a frill of white linen about quarter of yard wide. The mantel valance, chair seats, toilet cloth, ottoman cover, as well as the pincushion and nightdress cases are en suite. The pretty light blue or pink shades are favorites, but there are greens, yellows and many other colors.

IvSsTc Hardy Settlers Find Independence -Their Sports and Pastimes-The Most Unique Colony In
 the World.
Especial Lettor.1

By sending special representatives into foreign countries the Outing Mag azine is doing much towards the educa- tiOn of it's readers. Mir. Frank G. Lenz, who is making trip around the world on bicycle, is now sending exceeding ly interesting descriptions of his wheel ing experiences in China; while J. Perry WOrden, in Touring in Europe on Next to Nothing" Is rambling among the most interesting historical section of Scotland. Another representative is in southern climes, and has witnessed season of sport in Patagonia, and in Che June number of Outing gives an excellent description of the lives and methods of the Welsh colonists who have settled in that dreary land-Pata- gORia. These sturdy toilers, prizing their independence above everything else, seem quite content with their hard-earned subsistence, although ex- isting under conditions which to our farmer, accustomed to fruitful, we'll watered lands, would be intolerable. In connection with the history of the colony and it's formation he writes as follows of the rare sport in which the Patagonian Welsh boys indulge:
 Many years ago there lived Welsh divine who dreamed of a Welsh Utopia in foreign land. His dreams so far materialized that in 1864 1sO immi- grants left Wales to found colony in Patagonia. They landed in the Golfo Nuevo and finally settled on the banks of Chubut river, which mingles its waters with those of the South Att lantic ocean twenty miles below the torty-third parallel of south latitude. Here they have multiplied for upwards of quarter of century, and have been further increased by immigration.
 Many of them speak only their na- Give Welsh. They are so excessively Aealthy that, at the period of my visit, a population of eighteen hundred did not produce enough illness to support either druggist or physician. Such

Said to Be Most Artistic and Original
 Hit of Fancy Work.
 The novel receptacle for burnt matches, shown in the illustration, is one of the most artistic and original bits of fancy work seen for some time. Its novelty lies in the use of one of the small incandescent electric light globes as a balloon, the basket attached to this formingathe "holder" proper. They may be Obtained at almost any building where this system of lighting Is used. The globes in time "burn out or become defective and can be obtained for a few cents or for nothing. The remaining materials necessary for the balloon are the small Japanese basket, costing two or three cents, yard of ribbon three-eighths of an inch wide, three skeins of floss, and scrap of bias velvet or plush.
 Make a chain of from forty to fifty stitches, according. to size of globe, with the floss, using small-sized to form a long stitch and catch bacl, into the chain; make one chain stitch, then another long stitch, and proceed in this manner across the original chain. Turn and go back across this row in exactly the same way, and proceed thus till square of the open work is formed. From each corner of this square, crochet a chain which shall be long enough to reach to the top of the basket, from five to six inches; better too long than too short.
 A small circular piece of plush or velvet should be used to cover the lower end of the globe. The edges may be caught up about ithe side with few long stitches. Fold in the edges ofa bias piece of the plush leaving it just wide enough to cover the brass rim at the bottom, and long enough for

 One day the meet was at the farm of Hugh Hughes, distant about sixteen miles from the sea. The house was a
 representative dwelling, built of poor, homemade, half-baked brick, held to- gether nominally by a little mud and mortar, in reality by virtue of being laid in the gravity line. The house contained two rooms, and mother earth formed the only floor. About twenty riders collected at the door of this modest mansion, in front of which half a dozen hungry-looking dogs of no par ticular breed wandered aimlessly to and fro. Two or three of the party possessed delapidated saddles. The re- mainder had but sheepslSins or pieces of bagging to interpose between them selves and their horses backbones. Stirrups were not in vogue to any ex- tent; some of the men rode barefooted, and the brides were mostly spot-made with bit of cord doing service as reins. Many of the horses showed an ear split in two. These animals had been trained by the Pehuelehes, tribe of Patagonian Indians, who were ex- cellent hunters.
 The country over which we hunted contained no hills, trees or water; no fences, ditches or walls, but was irregu- larly cut up by gullies and .steep-sided ravines. The only vegetation was clumps of thorny bushes and a little grass. The extremely loose soil was composed of sand, loam and countless oyster shells, Its general appearance certainly sustained the opinion of the immortal Darwin that this part of the more than two thousand years.
 It is interesting to contrast the gaucho's saddle gear with the slender outfits of the Welshmen. He first puts on the horses back two pieces of wood, about twenty inches long, that fit into the hollows by the horses backbone. They are held together by thongs and bound down by surcingle. Over these he puts blankets and skins to number seemingly limited only by his wealth. There may be as many as eight or ten, and over this mass he passes another broad surcingle. On top of the whole he sits, rather than straddles, not alto gather unlike the manner in which one sits on a camels back. At night his
