Clothes AfaSs of Peat.

Underwear is now made in Paris of peat. This sounds like joke, but there is nothing of the Munchausen order about it 1t has been known for some time that peat has certain antiseptic qualities. A dead body which was buried in peat for over a century was found in 8 state of per feet preservation. Peat is used in the northern countries of Europe for surgical bandages, and the favorable results obtained by the Russian sur geons with peat bandages have in- duced the French army department C. use it in the French hospitals.
 has also been found that peat 6lers in combination with other ma tel5ai possess wonderful absorbing U-cp,-ties. This has led Dr. Rasurel to uss peat fbers for the making of underwear in the place of flannel Tne new material has proved very effective, absorbing precipitation and rapidly drying.

On the 18th of November, 1894 Mile. Marie Tanies died at Orsay, be. questhing 1,5O0, 900 francs to the city of Paris for certain charita. ble objects. But where was the mon. ey? The notary informed NJ. Pou- belle of the testamentary disposition of the deceased, but stated that the funds were not deposited with him. He knew they existed, however, for he had had them in his hands. A visit was paid to the lady's house, but nothing was found in any of the drawers, desks, etc. A rigorous search was instituted, with no better results. No doubt a robbery had been perpetrated.
 The prefect of police commenced an investigation, while the search on the premises was still carried on. Every nook and cranny had been ransacked, all except dust bin. This was now dragged forward. It felt very heavy. On the lid being lifted the contents were examined, and there, buried among litter of rubbish, lay the sum of so, 900 francs in gold and nearly 2,O0O, 900 francs in title deeds and other papers. The search was long one, but the result was decidedly worth all the trouble. -Patriote.

THE GREELEY COLONY.
\ Happy People and a High Standard of
 Public Morals

A Happy People and a High Standard of
 Public Morals.
 The Greeley colony was composed of the best clements of eastern oiti- zenship, and the first and most i'm. portant lesson it teaches is that peo- ple of this class are responsive to such a call as Mr. Meeker put forth. He did not appeal to the instinct of speculation. He pleaded for new in- Eitutions and aimed at high ideals, and he found that men of culture and of means were ready to cooper ate heartily in such an undertaking. This fact lends encouragement to those who are hoping for great things to come from the development of the arid region.
 The site of the Greeley colony was not well chosen, or at least it did not in all respects meet the expecta- tions of those who selected it. They were therefore unable to realize all their plans. They made some serious miscalculations For instance, they estimated the cost of their canals at S20, 900, while the actual cost was more than twenty times as great. Fruit culture was mentioned in tho prospectus as certain to be an im- portant industry, but tho soil and climate proved unsuitable. The dream of an improved household economy, based on plan for coop erative bakeries and laundries, also proved delusive. There were other disappointments, but the fundamen. tai claims of irrigation were all win dicated at Greeley, as they have been whenever and wherever brought fairly to the test.
 A few years of intelligent labor brought a high degree of average prosperity, based upon substantial foundations. Even the severe panic of the summer of 1893 did not ma terially disturb these foundations During those trying weeks, when mines and smelters shut down and banks and stores closed their doors, water, soil and sunshine continued to do their perfect work in the Un- ion colony. Greeley seemed like an oasis of prosperity in a desert of de- spair. The farmers received as the reward of the summers labor more than S1, 900, 900 in cash for the single item of potatoes. But this is the chief crop at Greeley after the ne- cessities of lSe have been provided for, and tho wide reputation and handsome financial returns won for the Greeley potato illustrate the wis dom of a surplus crop of the highest quality.
 Greeley's civic institutions are like her potatoes. They represent the best standard available and are the pride of the people. To sell any kind ofs intoxicating liquor within the boundaries of the Union colony in- validates the title to the soil. This is oneof the original plans which work cd well, and the schools, churches, libraries and lyceums are all in keep ing with this high standard of pub lie morals. A careful study of the development of Greeley, alike in it's social and industrial aspects, would throw much more light upon the problems of arid America, but this cannot be entered upon now.-W. E. Smythe in Century.

 With the advent of Turkish rooms and various oriental decorations came also the delightful fashion of floor cushions. Nothing gives room such a cozy appearance, and surely nothing is less difficult or expensive to own
 They are charming in the drawing room, or sitting room near the open grate fire, or on the veranda in the summer twilight
 If finished with large brass rings, they are easily moved about placed perhaps near the great armchair, where some ene is telling a thrilling story. or piled at the head of the lounge, wherea near and dear friend is stretched languid and weary and looking to he famed from just such a vantage point
 But the girlWho is addicted to the use of floor LeUshions must beware. To use them well requires quite a little talent and not much aVoirdu- pois, and not only must she be agile and 1.-the of form, but shs must also be one of the women who are at their best looking up.
 That women differ in their ability - apGcar fascinating or even inter

 4 c.l, to look well while talking to scZ9 oRe who stoops to her, must r3r-.s b roll her eyes upward with " having them disappear under the n >, showing thereby to her cavalier only an expanse of white that is far more apt to be startling than capti- ,-2ing in effect She must also pos sess a flexible spine, so that her head moves backward easily and graceful ly, revealing @ rounded throat and not an unsightly display of muscles.
 Vsry often a girl who is not at her be- looking up can talk well and off .jsciy with eyes cast down and 1as-esc coping. If natural, it is a
 city, modest pose and far more in- teresting than 8 shower of glances meant to be coq1ettish. but failing utterly from physical deficiencies
 Many girl who is distinguished in appearance and wholly captivst- ing in manner when seated on a tete- a-tete or standing by table or lean ing on chair is awkward and ill at ease if compelled to throw her head back and look up while conversing. Such 8 girl should avoid the enticing charms of the floor cushions. They are not for her.
 They are for the young woman who curls thereon with unconscious oriental grace. whose every upward glance is a arevelation of anew witch cry and charm, until her auditors are forced to the conclusion that in some previous incarnation she must have been dusky sultana or sn Indian princess whose only object in life was to lon on soft cushions. -Phila- delphia Press.

He first thought of putting them in trunk, but some objection to this plan presented itself, so he hid the sack, with its precious con- tents, between some barley sacks, and then forgot all about it until a few days ago. In the mean time his barley had been sold to numerous customers, and when he began his search for his sack of nuggets it could not be found and up to date It has managed to elude his search.
