THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

Work to Be Commenced This Week by
 Taking Field Notes in Many States.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.--During the coming week work will be commenced by the geological survey taking field notes in many of the states The fact that the appropriation did not become available until few days ago is of fered as an explanation of why it is that work in this line did not com mence earlier in the season. It is now estimated that it will be possible to continue the work of taking field notes until the last of October in some of the states, while in others the work will have to be suspended about the middle of September
 The most important work to be done this year, according to the expectations of the superintendent of the geological survey, is allotted to Prof. Emmons, who is assigned the task of invading Colorado and taking notes in and around the new mining camps. A large amount of geological information has been upturned during the last year by the picks of the miners, and it is ex- pected to be able to gather in this within a few days and extend the in- vestigation into certain branches of the work in the line of precious metals.

the smaller circle bore three holes through which the legs may pass, each one inch from the edge, equi-distant from each other.
 Lay the shelf on the under side of the top, and mark the places for the upper ends of the legs. The broomsticks should fit tightly in the holes, and the shelf secured in place, thirteen inches from the floor, with one and one-half inch finish nails. The upper ends of the legs must be placed on the marks and the top secured with one and one half inch screws, the ends of which are sunken in the wood and the holes filled with putty. After it has been smooth ly finished with sandpaper 1t may be stained or painted and finished with lambrequin or fringe put on with brass headed nails.
 Another way to finish it is to cover 1t smoothly with denim, or any preferred material, tackled on with an embroid- cred valance. The legs should be stained cherry or oak, and finished with brass claw-foot sockets.

lineage. Even the swinging cradle In which the wee boy takes his long baby sleeps has held the infant forms of many of his royal grand uncles and cunts. It is the one the queen had in the royal nursery for her own children, and it is deemed proper and suitable that this important successor in the line should have . resting place digni- fled with heredity.
 The cradle swings from aSgraceful frame of rich old mahogany inlaid with gold. Draperies of handsome brocade of Q delicate pearl tint are attached and used to shut off intrusive draughts. no sheets for this downy nest are of fine Irish lawn, lace trimmed; the blankets are softest embroidered Pyre- mean wool, and the covcrlid matches the pearl brocade. The crown and three feathers which surmount the framework are further typical of the rOyale estate of the small occupant, whose baby eyes look out on many such suggestive emblems.
 The layette of the little prince is peculiarly delicate and dainty. Irish linen and Spitalhelds silk were used whenever it was possible. and some of the lace comes from Northampton. The work is eXQuisitely fine, the robes given by the queen being peculiarly lovely. One robe is of rich Irish lawn, haud-embroidered, and as fine in text Ure as the famous woven wind" of India, and the other rich cloak and hood of pure white zibelline, beauti- ful silken material. The tiny hood is adorned with the Prince of Wales feathers in pure white ostrich tips.

How to Cook Things So as to Tempt the
 Delicate Appetite.
 Eggs for the sick should be coddled instead of boiled. Boiled renders the white of the egg tough and indigesti- ble, even in those which are termed ''soft boiled" To coddle an egg, put it in a quart cup and fill nearly to the brim with boiling water. Let it stand on the back part of the stove (where it cannot even simmer) for five minutes The white will be found a delicate jelly, and the whole perfectly whole some and delicious.
 Milk is now given in all forms of ill., ness, and especially those in which solid food is prohibited. The old fal- lacy that it raises the temperature, and thus proves injurious in infammatory disease, has long been dissipated. Hot milk is a valuable stimulant, and proves a most excellent tonic. It should not be permitted to boil, but simply ralsed to temperature as hot as proves com fortable in drinking; it should be drank from spoon, as this slow method in- sures better digestion, When pure milk disagrees with the patient, ta- blespoonful of lime water added to glassful, or half pint, overcomes this objection.
 A potato baked with the skin un. broken is rich in nutrition, and agree able to the palate. The addition of little salt and a tablespoonful of rich sweet cream, renders it truly delicious. -Ingalls' Home Magazine.

 Break Rock on the Streets.
 FoRT WORTH, Tex, Aug. 29.-At re- cent meeting of the city council an ordinance was adopted providing that women who were fined in the police court and unable to pay their fines be made to work the fines out on the street.

Bounties Have Ceased.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Some days ago Commissioner Miller, of the in ternal revenue bureau, telegraphed agents in the sugar districts to sepa- rate and identify all sugar made at factories from July 1 to midnight of August 27. This having been done, the commissioner yesterday gave the agents instructions to withdraw all government control and supervision of sugar factories. This supervision has been maintained heretofore because of the sugar bounty provision of the Me- hinley act and that bounties have ceased by virtue of the new tariff bill it is no longer necessary,

 Article at Home.

 Where the piazza is used as Q sum-
 mer sitting-room, table Is necessary, as in a dining-room. A shelf hinged to the house and so arranged that it can
 be raised and lowered is quite service able, but it is not exactly an ornament to the house, and the difficulty of ex- actly matching the paint makes it even less so. Our illustrations show one that can be quite readily made by any one who can drive nail or fasten & screw.
 The top is of pine wood, three-quar- ters of an inch in thickness and twenty four inches across. As it is difficult to find a board of sufficient width, two pieces will have to be glued together and secured with dowel pins. There must be two of them, driven into the edge of each piece two and one-haH inches, after the edges have been care fully squared and strengthened by blaming. The holes must be bored with a quarter-inch bit, and an equal dis tance apart. Make the pegs of oak to fit the holes, and after dipping them into hot liquid glue, drive them into one piece; then glue the edges, and be- fore it has time to cool insert the pegs in the opposite piece and drive them tight together.
 The lower round or shelf of the table will probably have to be made in the same way It measures twenty inches across. Set them away to dry till next day; meantime select three hardwood, straight-grained broomsticks of equal thickness, and saw them twenty-seven inches long. Prepare them by scrap ing off the paint and varnish and sand paper them down smooth. The follow ing day the work may be continued. Smoothly plane both sides of the boards. Ifyou have not large pair of compasses the circles may be described with pencil, string and tack in the way that every schoolboy knows.

A New Dress Material.

A new dress fabric made of 'peat fiber" is in contemplation, and the pos sibility of using aluminium for making drapery goods is thought to be very practical, since it can be drawn into wires finer than hair, and yet so fine and supple that they can be woven with silk. It has already been used for silk bows.

Cornmeal as a Cosmetic.

Cornmeal, the yellow Indian meal of pantries, is said to be one of the best of cosmetics. A jar of it should be kept on the toilet stand, and after the face has been washed in really hot water with pure, unscented soap, the meal should be rubbed all over it, we'll and gently. Then it should be dusted out of the hair and eyebrows, the face wiped lightly over with bit of soft old linen, and the result promised by those who have tried it is delightful. ly smooth and satiny skin.

LYNCHBURG, July II. = Roanoke
snatched a victory in the ninth inning
to-day partly by good luck and partly
by the loose playing Of the Lynch burgs.
The notable plays in the field were
made by Leahy, whose catch of hot
liner just of tho ground was pheno
menal, Knox at third for the homo
team and McGinnis in the center field
for the visitors.
Knox had the honor Of making she
longest hit, driving the sphere to center
field for home run, scoring himself and
Webster.
In the second inning Umpire Clark
made rotten decision, calling Shaw
out at third for alleged interference
with thrown ball. The decision was
30 rank that it naturally excited the
of the inning the umpire wanted 10 put
Shaw out of the game for certain Ian
guage the latter used toward him, but
this created whirlwind of e1citeme emit,
and number Of people went out on the
diamond, and for awhile 1t looked like
the game would be broken up.
In the first inning Lynch burg scored
two runs and one in the second. There
were double goose eggs in each inning
up to the sixth when three Roanokcrs
got around the diamond, tying the
score. Daniel hit between first and
second and Boucher went 100 far af or
the ball to get back in time. Daniel
went to second on O. Hagan's sacrifice
and scored on Boyd's two Dagger
Crockett hi5 hot one past tho pitcher,
which Cleve allowed to pass bin in
centor field, bringing in Boyd and
Crockett.
In the seventh for Lynch burg Web
ster got base on Cavanaugh's low
throw to Crockett and stole second He
run hit to center field. Boucher sent
one to Crockett that was too hot to hold
and made hi. base, went TO second on
Meara's hit and scored on a wild throw.
Lynchburg stopped m aking runs here
and Roanoke pulled herself together.
In the eighth O'Hagan knocked a good
two Dagger, Boyd went to first and
O'Hagan to third on Elsey's wild throw
to first. and O'Hagan scored on Boyd's
sacrifice between bases.
When the side was retired, Lynch
burg was still two runs ahead and 1t
looked like the game was theirs, but the
ninth changed that. Lynchburg was
BANKED and when Roanoke came to bat
Cavauaugh went out to Knox Violet
batted slowly to third and Knox fun bled
it. McGinnis went to first on Elsey's
tumble and Frechs hit scored Violet.
Daniel then batted one to short center
field, McGinnis and Frech crossing the
plate and winning the game. Following
is the score:
