DINAH STURGIs.


 Some time ago man called at this office and loaned the editor newspa- per, saying it contained good many things that might be of interest. The editor has hundreds of newspapers that he has no time to look at, but the mans action was so polite that the pa per was received with thanks and lost. In a week or two the man called for his paper. The editor said he would look for it. It could not be found. The man called again and was somewhat provoked. Then he called again. say ing he would not take BIO for the pa per. The next time he called he said the paper was worth Sl00 to him. The last time he called he said he would not have taken 5000 in cash for the pa- per. There is some truth in the state ment that the paper is worth Sl0eO; the editor has had so much trouble about it that he would give 5000 to replace it. But his trouble is not over; it is certain that the man will call for the paper regularly every month as long as he lives. Atchison Globe.

A CALLING COSTUME.


 A love of a carriage dress, just the thing to wear at the coming out" tea of debutante, Is of mOire crepe. a new and peculiar and very effective material that has all the effect Of 2 crepe, also of the broadly watered and shaded appearance of rich moire, and incidentally catches the lightil 8 variety of ways that cannot be des- cribed. It is called sunset moire and has the luster of silk with the body" of a poplin, and yet is as soft as crepe.
 The color is pink of the deep tint of the base of wild rose petal. There is band of sable round the foot Of the skirt which flares of course in the most approved style, thanks to the middle lining between the outside and the silk lining of French horsehair Two other bands of sable pass up the front of the skirt, outlining the front gore of the skirt, style of trimming that is calculated to make the wearer look taller, and two sash ends of cliff ion fall from the waist to the foot in front.
 The bodice has narrow box plait down the middle of the back, growing little narrower at the waist: this is covered with white silk passcmenterie  in fine pattern, resembling more near ly handsome point de Gene lace. There Is a crushed stock with rosettes of wild rose pink chiffon abolt the neck, and from this collar to the bust there are three conyerging bands Of the lace-like trimming that meltaway into scant plastron of point de Gene lace, which is carried down to the waist under a band of sable that forms a shallow point across the bust-line, the whole rather complicated and very Parisian design being set off with few slender pendant jets.

A syslem of pIspIacements.

"A system or DispiacementS.
 W. w. Priestiey, of Butte. Mont. is the inventor Of new pumping system which is now undergoing a practical test at the Gagnon mine. The Inter- Mountain says it is the simplest affair ever devised for raising water from mines, and those who have seen it at work are anxious to see it tested siGe by side with some of the best pumps in the district, in order to determil it's efficiency. The apparatus at the Cagnon consists of three inch pipe located in the pump shaft midway be- tween the HOO and 1900 foot levels and extending to the latter station At the 1900 foot level this pipe makes a return bend and follows up the shaft to the 1000, where it is SO connected that the water which passes through it empties into tank at that station. This pipe thus forms q U, with one leg % feet and the other POO feet long. A quarter inch pipe is inserted at tho bOttcm of the long end or lift pipe. and when certain pressure is turned on from yhe compressor and water is allowed to flow through the short leg. constant flow is maintained down tLe drive pipe, and an intermittent flowof air and water is discharged throug!t the lift pipe into the tank at the l0uV foot level.
 This system is known as one of dis placement, the air displacing the wa ter and causing it to rise until it even tually forces it out at the top. The fact quarter-inch air pipe, through which air at a pressure of 23 pounds flowed, actually forces the water through a inch water column to height of 2C0 feet was doubted by many until seen. To show the work ings of the system, MT. Priestly has constructed very ingenious model of the pipe, attached to an air compress sor. Working on the principle that, if air would carry water up, as it does in this case, water would certainly drive air down, he has reversed the the lifting system and is enabled to carry air into receiver, with a fall of feet. The air thus compressed is then discharged in the same manner as it is in the ordinary air compressor used in the mines. By this system it is conclusiyely shown that the height to which given pressure will lift or force water depends entirely upon the proportion of air to water in the lift pipe, and one of the advantages claimed for it is that high column of air and water can be maintained with a low pressure, thus making it possi- ble to utilize California redwood and kindred material as water columns. The system, it is believed, can also be successfully applied to irrigation and placer mining purposes.

Some of the Uses of Mica
Ores < Metals.

Mica fills the interstices of modern progress. A few decades ago we were seeking practical use and market for the output of mica mines already found: now we are seeking new mines to supply the multifsrous uses to which mica can be applied. Thus the law of necessity changes in it's re ation to all things.
 Mica is now essential to the various uses of electricity as the great force is necessary to human progress. In all appliances for electrical lighting and power the most important reciprocal agent entering into their mechanism is mica. All armatures are built up with it's insulation, whether for dyna- mos, motors, generator or transform- CTS. Without it's use as an insulation the core of the armature would burn out with flash. But by placing sheets of mica between the thin sheets of iron, which are secured to the shaft that runs through the drum of the armature, insulation becomes perfect. Thus armatures of even tue largest generators can be run for twenty-fOur continuous hours without heating thepl more than eighty degrees fahr- enheit above the temperature of the surrounding air. By this use of mica the lines of force are dissipated. bu. do not lose any of their electrical en- ergy.
 h all electrical safety appliances mica also performs an important part as an insulation. To it's infusible and indestructible nature much of the sue cess of the rheostat can be ascribec i. This wonderful mechanism, which is applied as a motor starter, governor of speed, a reversing switch and an automatic safety switch, is absolutely fireproof and can be subjected to red heat without mechanical injury. This is rendered possible by making the re- sistance of the thin plates of iron packed closely together, but seperat- ed by mica
 Thus the lids of force operate on the same principal as in the armatnre. Aside from these important uses of mica in electrical apparatus, it is also applied to a thousand minor ones, which make it the constant and will ing servant of the greatest power that man has turned to intelligent subju- gatiOn.
 Mica is also an important factor in many branches of manufacture and art. Owing to it's peculiar elasticity and toughness, qualities in which it is not excelled by anything natural or artificial, it is used as an absorbent Of nitro-glycerine, and when so used ex- plosions by percussion are rendered al- most impossible, while at the same time nothing is taken from the energy of the nitro-glycerine when exploded by Eliminates or similar device. For such purpose the plumose mica isused or that in which the scales are ar ranged in feathery form.

Free wool is not popular in South Dakota. Both parties feel disgruntled over that feature of the democratic tariff. One editor voices the general sentiment in the following parody: Mary had little lamb she kept it quite while; no doubt she still would have it if it hadn't been for Kyle. She used to sell the wool for cash, which made her quite elate, but when they took the tariff off, 1t wouldn't pay the freight"

Splendid Stage Dresses.
Chicago Record.

NEW YORK, Dec. l5.-In "The New Woman, the imported London play that is such a clever satire on the strong-minded woman who has already arrived, Miss Virginia Harmed, who is this season the leading lady of Mir. A. M Palmer's stock company, wears some toilets that are the sublimation of fashions present and to come.
 Primrose yellow and gentian blue is the color scheme in one of Miss Harm eds gowns made by New York mo- diste, and wonderfully smart the toii ct is. The material is one of the su- perb silks of the season in two-inch stripes of yellow and blue moire anti que, their ''wateredn surfaces alter mated with half-inch stripes of rich satin in plain blue. It is made with very full fiaring skirt.
 The bodice has a slender V shaped trimming set in back and front of blue chiffon in finest accordion plaits. These Vs are outlined and a square yoke Is simulated by an applied band trimming of white silk passementerie. This consists of five cords caught to-. gether atlntervals with raised eyeIets and studded all over with pink ame- thyst cabochins that look like jewels scattered thickly over the open-work bands.
 TRIMMED WITH BUTTERFLY BOWS.
 At each turn made in the yoke band little butterfly bow of yellow ribbon is perched like a humming bird, and from the neck to the hem of the dress in front falls a sash of wide yellow satin ribbou. 1t is tied under the chin in two huge loops; the ends are then drawn in to the waist line and fasten- ed there and fall thence low on the skirt. The sleeves are of surprising fullness even in these days of sleeve balloons. and are caught to the shoul- der with few fine plaits in the middle oi the top of the sleeve, so that the sleeves seem to be made in two large vertical poufs instead of one.
 The hat has crown of open gold bullion, and a brim of open black silk passementerie wired into picturesque shape, and having deeply indented and irregular edges that make the outline of the hat very becoming. Some blue chiffon rosettes are recrushed against tho hair under the brim on one side, some black ostrich plumes dance and nod above and there are a bow of black velvet and two elongat- ed wings Of the gold bullion at the base of the feathers.

man found that the brake would not work.
The car rapidly gained momentum and was
soon dashing along at very rapid rate OF
speed. The passengers were not long in
finding out that something was wrong,
and the women and children began 10
scream. Before any one had time TO jump
the front wheels OF the forward truck
struck a bend in the road. The car was
going too fast for the wheels TO follow the
turning completely over. The passengers
were piled in heap. The broken glass Of
the windows and doors scattered through
the crowd, cagSing many Injuries.
