From the Lady's Pictorial.
The practical Swiss have hit upon an
original method of advertising. which it is
sincerely to be hoped will not become uni
versal. Visitors staying at the Lake of
Geneva this summer have been astonshed
to behold the surface of the water orna-
mented with the name of certain paper
sparkling in golden beams upon the waves.
How this miracle was contrved was at
first mystery. but the explanation is very
simple. Large black lacquered placards,
with raised gilt letters coated with some
varnish which resists wet, are sunk and
fastened securely to the ground, and of
course the rays OF the sun striking upon
them brings the reflection to the surface
Some of the finest views in Switzerland are
already sufficiently disfigured by advertise
ments-the majority, be it said with sor-
row, generally setting forth the superlative
excellence of some article of English manu-
facture; but the tastelessness of this latest
idea would surely be difficult to surpass,
and happily it cannot be placed to our dis
credit.

Bismarck Letter.
The tragic death Of General Custer and
his gallant men at the hands Of the Sioux
Indians, in the massacre of Little Big
Horn, was recalled here this week by the
forwarding to Mrs Custer of a check for
81 800. drawn to the order of General Geo.
A. Custer in 1876. The check is dated
June % and is signed by B. L. Smith. at
that time assistant paymaster in the army.

soiled and tattcred though it be. constitutes
valid claim against the government for
the amount represented upon its face,
which was, no doubt, intended as part
payment of General Clusters salary as an
officer of the United States army.
Where the check has been all these years
no one knows least Of all Michael Francis.
who found it in the street here last Feb
ruary and who has retained it in his pos
session until now. When Francis picked
up the bit of paper 1t was almost as legi-
BILE as when it was drawn, but three heavy
creases in 1t showed that 1t had been worn
through. The parts were Joined together
by narrow strips of paper pasted on the
back. and the edges were somewhat soiled,
as though the paper had at one time been
dropped in the mud.
No Endorsement appears upon the back of
the check and the face shows the marks
of no cancellation stamp, demonstrating
that the check has never been presented
for payment. The check was, no doubt,
forwarded to the northwest before tina
fews Of the Custer massacre reached
Washington. Had it reached those in
charge of the dead sol Tiers effects it
would have been sent back at once in
order that one payable to the heirs could

The "Broken Plate Club"

Paris Letter to London Telegraph
In little village in the department of
the Nord there exists a curious brother
mood. 1t Is called the Broken Plate Club"
This Is its history: A few years ago some
merchants and manufacturers were dining
together when plate rolled from the
table and, falling into the fireplace broke
AS II happened, the number of the frag-
ments exactly correspondent with that of
the guests. The coincidence was regarded
as good augury, and then and there So
ciety was formed which imposed upon Its
members the bonds of brotherhood. Each
man as he left carried away with him his
fragment OF the plate. According to the
rules no new member was to be introduced,
and at each death the bit of porcelain
which was in the possession of the de-
ceased is restored to the president, who
CLUES the fragments together. The last
surviving member of the club is charged

reformed it is to be buried.

THE COMING GOWN.
1t Is to BE the Princcss-AbOut Drap-
cries and ONerskirts.


1t looks now as though we would really
have draperies early in the winter. The
skirts come to us from across the water
with great slashes in front and on the
sides, showing simulated underskirts of
velvet or heavy cloth, and a favorite style
CT trimming is the long panel. The coming
gown is the princess, and its long straight
folds are so desperately unbecoming to an
angular figure that something has to be
done to relieve 1t, hence the foreshadowing
peries come from the French, of course.
They seem to think that gown is not fin

some or these sets are very handsome, in
DEED, but there are others in fine ivory
wool and fiat braid effect, while there are
sets that go to the other extreme in quality
and are of Chantilly and rose point One of
the odd uses to which these sets Of lace will
be put Is to lay them in setting of fur, or
give them a narrow bordering of the fur, af-
ter they are adjusted on the gown. 1t seems

you remember that blue fox. for instance,

Tho deck chair nuisance increases as
ocean travel increases. 1t is modified on
some lines now by the possibility of hiring

or dollar. instead Of numbering ones self
with personal property in the line Of trav-
cling furniture, by paying dues to a
middleman in the form of an ocean dis
comfort company. This makes matters a
little better, but why cannot the steamship
companies furnish deck chairs as they do
dining room chairs, including the charge
in the passage money, and do away with
all the bother and fuss now attendant
upon deck life? A traveller says that in a

ASPHALT IN AMERICA
Extensive Deposits in This Country Begin.
ming to Be Used.
What 1t May Be Used FORWARDING.
ton Had the First Asphalt
Streets.

Many millions of dollars are going to be
inade by mining American asphalt. Today
almost all we use Is shipped here from
abroad. Yet 1t is claimed We have the best
quality and the largest quantity of all
countries. the problem being how to get 1t
as cheaply The geological survey will dur
irg the next year study the question from
an economic view. A thorough chemical
analysis of all American as we'll as foreign
asphalts will be made by DR.. VIM. c. Day,
special agent. This will be the first inves-
tigation of the kind made in this country.
Yankee ingenuity has found hundreds of
uses for asphalt. Paving Is only one of
them. One of the strongest houses in the
world might be built of blocks made OF
hardened asphalt These would be laid
with asphalt cement. The foundation
should be built upon bed of asphalt and
should be painted within and without with
liquid asphalt to prevent dampness. The
walls might be lined with asphalt paper,
instead of felt the former being found
better substitute. Instead of plaster light
asphalt might be put on the walls, and
over it wall paper tinted with lines made
With asphalt coloring. The flooring might
be of glazed asphalt blocks. The gas and
water pipes should be preserved by a coat
ing of asphalt. The electric wires should
be insulated by covering of asphalt. The
whole exterior might be primed with
phalt paint The roof should be covered
with asphalt waterproof liquid, the tank
and sink japanned with asphalt japan. The
Iron fence around the house should be
made to shine with asphalt varnish. Lead
ing to the asphalt avenue upon which your
asphalt mansion is built. you should have
paths and drveways of asphalt block paw
ing. Your lawn may be kept green by an
asphalt garden hose. While you are read
ing your newspaper printed with ink made
of asphalt your wife may be waxing her
thread with asphalt. At the table you eat
honey made in artificial combs, also of
asphalt. When you drive your carriage
wheels may be fabricated with asphalt
axle grease, and on returning home you
may light yourself to bed with an asphalt
candle
Widely DfNuSed.
All of these various applications of asphalt
are realities, learned by the geological
survey, through recent investigation. This
knowledge has been collected by Mr. E. W.
Parker, one of the principal statisticians.
Mr.. Parker says that SO far Uncle Sans
biologists have discovered asphalt deposits
In fifteen of our states, including one terri
tory. These are West Virginia, Ohio, Ken
lucky, California, Utah, Oklahoma, Mon
tana, Texas, Arizona, Idaho. New Mexico
Nevada, Wyoming, Oregon and Washington
In addition, there are doubtless many other
mines yet undiscovered. But four states
make commercial use of their deposits-Cali-
1ornla, kentucky, Texas and Utah. During
the last year these four alone mined over
haIt as many tons of asphalt was import
