why Rata Gnaw Continually.

Have you. any idea why it is that
rats, mice and squirrels are continually
gnawing.at something? They do not
do this for pure devilment," as pco-
pic generally imagine, but because
they are forced to. Animals of that
class; especially the rats, have teeth
which continue to grow as long as
their owner lives. In the human spe-
cies the teeth arc developed from pulps
which are absorbed and disappear as
soon as the second set nre full grown,
but in the case of the much maligned
rat the pulp supply is perpetual, and
is continually secreting materials by
which the incisors gain in length.
This being the case, the poor creature
is obliged to keep up his regular gnaw-
ing operations in order to keep his
teeth ground OH to proper length.

site eudora cloth and new material
called mourning cashmere, makes up the
fist Of the finest mourning goods, though
all of these can be worn at other times,
according to the manner of trimming.
There are also wool crepons in black, with
waved effect, ana rough, woolly cancels
hair, and there are many ribbed effects
ana stripes, both straight and broken, all
in black woven, so that there appears TO
be several shades of dark gray to black
Some of the empress and eudora, also
the silk warp hcnricttes, show the oldest
designs such as a rainstorm, crocodile
and lizard markings stars, geomctrcal
figures and teardrops There is no light
ming but from amid cloudcd ground the
raindrops appear to fall.
Among the finest of the back woolens
as in silks 'hc ribbed effects arc seen
Tie empress is closely woven after that
style and is generally overstrewn with
other figuring, and l noticed some of these
where there was wide MORE wool stripe
between n wooden Grape one, and both
sprinkled with dots representing drops of
water
The heavy cheviots for late fall and
winter are beyond measure the handsom-
est goods of this kind ever before pro-
1uccd. The twill is deep and firm, and
the surface is covered with fine hairs,
which give it a most elegant look not to
be mistaken. 1t shows its value at once
and is really the handsomcst material ever
offered for outdoor winter dresses. This
quality of chevot retails for about SO. 80
per yard, but is 81 inches wide, so that six
yards will make "a full gown, and it will
wear forever and never go out of fashion,
for chcviot is the daily bread of dress ma.
terials. If a lady can afford but one ex-
pensive dress the most useful and elegant
one would be the black cheviot, black
grosgrain next.
Writing grosgrain reminds me that that
sterling weave of silk is the favoritc for
this fail and winter and probably for next
season, too, for dresses The remarkable
popularity of silk shirt waists has made
it necessary to produce a new silk for
them The patterns are very small and
neat and are in every instance thrown
over a changcable ground. l saw some
where the pattern consisted of one thread
stripes, and these stripes were checked in
the weaving, with three stitches missed
at equal distances, which gave the effect Of
very fine dots These were in black and
white over ground changing from blue
to bronze. The same pattern was wrought
over "A crimson and blue, and, in fact, ev-
cry new design was produced in 10 colors
All this was in tatfcta quality. There
were hundreds of now designs in such
silks, all beautiful and refined.
For dress silks the grosgrain is prime
favoritc. Part Of it is quite plain and Of
excellent wearing quality-that is, the
American made silks for the foreign silks,
as they always do, go shiny with two or
three wearings. Our American silks are
free from whatever is put in the foreign
silks, and so keep their lustcr to the last
hour Of eXislcnce. Tho hannalinAs nre also

Willie left New York about year ago
pcnniless and in far from robust health
with the intention of circling the globe in
IL months without spending any money
for railroad fare
He has just returned flushed with sue
cess, in perfect health and Weighing many
pounds more than he did when he left
He started Aug. II, 1898, wearing IA tlan-
mel shirt, a felt hat and a regulation coun-
try tourist costume devoid of any frills.
He carried cane and leather bag, and
a razor with which to curb his budding
beard was the only weapon he possessed.
His first goal was Chicago and he reached
it after tramping many miles and riding
in wagons and buggies. The farmers
along the way allowed him to work for
his nights lodging and food. The journey
to Chicago cured him of dyspepsia, and he
had already gained 10 pounds when he Sc
cured position as chair pusher on the
Worlds fair grounds.
He had $50 saved when he left Chicago
with lawyer friend and started for New
Orleans in boat which they launched at
Burlington, Ia. Before they reached st.
Louis blizzard struck them They werc
cast on an island in the river and narrow
ly escaped freezing to death, Starvation

wild pig and Toasted on pork chops cooked
over a driftwood fire. They finally escaped
on the ice and reached st. Louis, where
Wilkie made some money canvassing for

He then tramped nearly across what he
terms the interminable state of Texas
and paid his way on Southern Pacific en-
gines by breaking up coal for the iircmen

He was l.onized In Sydney. The papers
published his picture and accounts OF his
wanderings, and he finally secured a
chance to work his passage TO London on
a steamer. From London a steamer took
him to Baltimore, and from Baltimore he

Of, or at least so I believe from what J.
have seen and heard this past week. Gros-
grain ana satin ribbons in LIGHT colors and
black lead and next comes satin faced
velvet ribbon with woven edge, and after
this the morcs and very wide and aston
ishing plaids. These two latter kinds will
bemostly used for sashos and bows on hats,
though they will prove very useful also as
trimmings for childrens dresses The
ribbon is applied in every conceivable
manner to dresses and wraps, jackets and
underwear. Nothing is considered finish
ed without ribbon somewhere about it.
remember one dress t. at had q complete
ovcrskirt made of nots of ribbon. The
ribbon met n Gund the upper part and l
am not sure that it did not lap in some
parts and the ends were left to hang loose
to the bottom of the skirt where they were
cut out in deep flshtails. The effect of
this arrangement was extremely graceful
when the wcarer was in motion. Several
other gowns were garnishcd in very near
ly the same manner though with wider
ribbons and not so many of them They
all appeared to be fastened under a belt,
and thus the whole set could easily be
transferred from one gown to another if
the ribbon is of a good and firm quality.
The plaid ribbons are generally about
10 to - inches wide and of the rawest,
most glazing cOlors. They are always of
the tatfcta silk, and noticed one design
made of three shades of rcd and three
shades of yellow and little brown. They
follow the patterns and designs Of the tai
fcta silks to be offered patient and long
suffering public next spring. They would
have been presented this winter if the
American people had not been too much
troubled by hard times to endure such
shock
There are some of the lovelest chevots
this fall that have ever been shown The
colors are no longer confined to mixtures,
gray, brown, blue, etc , but they ara
shown in the most delicate of tints, like
salmon, pale blue, etc, and few of them
have small dots or other figures. These
are rather light in texture and very soft
Almost all the woolens are woolly this sea
son, except some of the finest black goods,
where the ground is what they call soleil,
but which means that the groundwork is
glossy and shining Among this line Of
goods are some of the most superb and eX-
quisite fabrics ever shown. The celobrat-
ed Priestcy fabrics are the most beautiful
as well as perfect. The number of differ
ent woven designs on the silk warp henri
cites is legion. There are pebble designs,
seeded effects, alligator weave, and nc
limit to the patterns, all small, but ex-
quisitely wrought out on that standard
material by throwing up the figures in
mohair, the body Of the goods being half
silk and half Australian wool. There is
one figure like the cracklc glassware. Then
there are no end of fancy chcviots with
mohair figures, tiny flowers, dots, pin
heads, squares, herringbone stripes with
all sorts of small figures thrown over the
surface in bright mohair, and all figures

PRINCE KOMATsU. of China caused
him to shake the dust of Paris from his
small and well booted feet and start for

kado.

japanese of ~ years. He weighs 1913
pounds, wears the very best clothes Of Eu-
rupcan style that can be obtained for coin
of the realm in Paris and limits his dis
play of iewclry to watch chain and u
plain gold ring. He has bright, black,
beadlike eyes, small but well trained
black mustache and the thick coarse
black hair that is characteristic Of most
japanese, whether royal blood courses in
their veins or not. He speaks English and
French, prefers European to japanese
cooking, sleeps in pajamas and in other
respects shows that he is thoroughly up
to date scion of the most progressive royal
house Japan has ever been fortunate
enough to possess.
The prince is married, but not very
much married, for he has but one wife,
like other progressive princes. He belongs
to one of the four royal families in Japan
tho Komatsu, Arisugawa. Fushimi and
Kanin If the emperor should die with
out issue, a male representative Of one Of
these families would be chosen to succeed
him. The suit of the prince is not large,

Nogasaki, and two male servants Secre.

Life at distant Hudson's Bay post, far
from a railway, may seem very quiet
and uninteresting one to jewellers in busy
towns, but quiet as it is the particular
post i'm the district is the center of all life
and animation for all the white men, half
breeds and Indians within a range of many
miles. There they come to hear the news
and bring the backwoods gossip. At any
hour of the day one or two Indians or half
breeds may be seen listlessly hanging
about the store or shop smoking, but talk
ing little. Perhaps they have come in to
buy something perhaps they want to sell
some skins--or very likely they are only
loaflng.
Often they come to see the manager sim
ply in the hope of getting an advance of
money or of stores on credit, previous to
going on a prolonged hunting trip, when,
if refused the first time, they will hang
about for days, persistently and petulant-
ly returning to the charge But this ad-
vance is often allowed. repayment being
taken when the furs come in In the spring.

deny them to protect them against them

 TIE period within which Chinese residents in the United States could be registered expired this week, says Bradstrects, but exact statistics as to the number who have availed then.- selves of the privileges of the registra- ton law have not yet been made public. An estimate made by the commissioner of internal revenue some days ago put the number who had registered at S4, 900. while the Chinese population of the country is about l05,o00. On this basis the compliance with the law has been fairly general, 80 per cent, or four-fifths of tn. whole number h having taken out certificates. IL :: ot interest to note, while0touching upon this suG ject, that representatives of labor unions in the United States have taken strong ground against the new Chinese treaty on the ground that by it the safeguards of the existing law will be swept away.
