BLACK SATIN.

Black satin has superseded MORE in
popular favor. The big sleeves which
were made of MORE last year are now
made of satin. Indeed, the satin sleeve
appears on one gown or another of near
ly every woman's wardrobe. The fur
Jacket, with its immense. back satin
sleeves, is the text best thing to a cape
to wear over the Immense dress sleeves
that no one is without.
The sleeve question has led women
into many snares that would be ludi-
crous if they were not so expensive. A
story IS told of a certain young woman
of an economical turn of mind, who de-
cided to have an old dress made over.
The dress was ~freshened and turned and
large velveteen sleeves substituted for
the old ones. When the dress was fin
ished She found to her chagrin that she
could not get the sleeves of a single wrap
in her possession over the velveteen ones
of the dress. s,
Her cape was also too short to admit
of being propped up by SO much sleeve.
and in ordere to wear the dress she was
Obliged to buy a new wrap-a fur Jacket

PBRILs OF THE z
Miners gssne aa Address TO Get Rich
Quick Aspfrants.

VANCOUVER, B. c., April 4, 1885,
The .News-Advertiser'' today publishes
a letter signed by some twenty miners in
the Yukon county regarding that much
talked of though comparatively unknown
region. The miners advise those coming
to Yukon to consider carefully the hard
ships which must be endured. There are
at present about GOO whites in the coun-
try and, while they nearly all rave made
fair wages, there are two great obstacles
the miners have to contend with, VIZ.
The short season and the perpetually
frozen ground. The chief difficulty, they
state, is the procuring OF supplies. 1t
is estimated that every white mar re-
quires about a ton of provisions, tools,
clothes. etc. each year, and this static
ment is proven by the fast that of 700
tons of provisions brought up last sum-
for several months end the miners hav-
ing any supplies have been obliged to
divide up with the others. Many ex-
pect to have "a hard time to pull through
the spring. Most of the claims are some
distance from the river and by the time
they are reached half of the simmer is
gone. The boats on the river at pres
ent cannot carry more than 1.2G0 tons of
merchandise and the shortage IN sup
plies seriously affects the output, as 1t is
expected will be the case this season.
In conclusion all state that envy large
immigration to Yukon Valley would be
disastrous to those now there and also
TO new Corners. sSsYsf

A NEW FLOOR COVER.
Wornout Footgear Turned to a New
and Useful Purpose.

A new use has been found. it is said.
for old bolts and shoes. This is how
they are treated in the process of con-
version into a novel kind of house car
pet.
into an immense tank, into which steam
and dissolving compounds are run,
thereby causing the old shoes to take a
thick liquid form. Certain proportions or
tallow, borax, and glue are then intro
duced, and the pulp IS run into mouids.
The moulds are shaped after the plan
of a regular sand mould, and may have
the form of flowers, leaves, figures or
geometrical designs. The pulp Is run
into these mouads and the fgure hardens
in the cold air. These casts are arranged
in the proper figure OF. design, when a
cementing process begins. The cement
is a compound made from leather pulp
and glue, and is run between the figures.
The figures soften a little with the COM
pound, and the whole hardens together.
In the casting of each .figure a diner
emf colored pulp Is useo-red pulp for
red roses, white pulp for white flowers,
green for leaves, and so on. Thus elab-
crate designs may be carried out. Then
comes the pressing by the use of rollers,
