It is though that the yield of gold
this year in the world will be about
s17OO0OOOO For the last 400 years, of
all the precious metals taken out of the
ground, 81 per cent has been lost or
used in the arts Figuring the product
this year on the same basis, there
would be about SCI 100000 to be coined.
This would give 80 cents apiece to the
people of the United States, England,

She was in the hands of a band ot
Mescalero Apache Indians, their hid
eous faces rendered yet more hideous
by great blotches of war paint.
While some of the Indians danced
about her in hcndish exultation, Others
bound her arms with rawhide thongs
and then, leading her pony in their
midst, they forded the Rio Grande and
moved eastward through the hills to.
ward the Mcscalcro reservation beyond
the San Andreas.
A cavalry soldier who was hunting
antelope i'm the hills witnessed the cap
ture from distance, and pushing his
horse to its utmost speed bore the
news TO the fort.
The tidings of the poor girls capture
threw the garrison into the widest ex-
citement. Buglcs blarcd forth the call
TO horse, and every preparation was
made for the pursuit of the red fiends.
Col. Sanford paced the porch in front
of his quarters, issuing orders to his Of
ficers, swearing aud gnashing his teeth
in his great rage and grief. In the
midst of his frantic movements Private
Brown, his face pale and pain-drawn,
his eyes set in look of the most fixed
determination, stepped onto the porch
and confronted him.
Col. Sanford" he cried, you must
listen TO me-"

FLOWERS IN VASES.
Different Arrangements Are varyineiy Ef
fectIye.


There Is a choice in vases. All flow
ers look better in vases of clear crystal
or pressed glass than In those of china,
however rare the ware or artistic its
decoration. Porcelain vases of grace
ful form and coloring are really com
pleted ornaments in themselves, and
they detract from the beauty of flow
ers, while their own conventional dain-
tiness also loses by the contact. An.
other reason for choosing clear-glnss
vases and jars is that through them
we can catch n glimpse of stems, and
this gives the flowers "a more graceful,
finished appearance. When opaque
vases are used, those in one plain, dull
color, which pottery dealers call mono
tone, are the prettiest, contrasting
tint to the main color of the blossoms
being selected. Imagine dull-blue
vase filed with the black-eyed Susans
Of the roadside, and you have the
idea.
There Is, too, a choice in placing the
case. Large flowers of vivid tints can
DC put further away from the locker

,iveness or be unseen. But in fine
lowers like the forget-ne-not or a
cluster of heliotrope, would be lost on

iorm, or perfume can appeal to every.

Some flowers display themselves best
N low, or saucer, boquets and often
thoughtless persons will give away the

sand or moss is particularly good to
place such short-stemed flowers in, as
they are better kept in position. But
the velvet pansies, with their modest
faces, have an unexpected trick of
curling up their stems in saucer bou-
quets. They are better controlled in
small vases, the blossoms standing up
right, just as they nod to us from the
garden bed.
Place vases when arranged as grace
fully as possible before mirror, either
on the mantel or dressing case, or hang
small looking glass or sconce behind
the table whereon the flowers are put.
