PETRIFIED INDIAN.
A Trader Tries to Steal Her for
Exhibition in the States.
san Francisco Examiner.

Cor. San Francisco Examiner.
A curious tale is told by passengers
just arrived at Victoria, B. c., from
Alaska on the steamer City of Topeka
of the discovery made by one of their
number, a Seattle man named Bren-
nan, on Prince of Wales island.
Brennan went North sometime ago
with a small sloop laden with a mis-
cellaneouS cargo, on which he realized
a good profit, trading among the ma
tives Of the Northern coast. 1t was
on this expedition he chanced to visit
one of the least accessible villages of
the isolated tribes on Prince of Wales
island, and while there to see the
mysterious divinity that is supposed
to keep watch and ward over the
tribe. former prieSteSs or queen, who
by some rare action of the peculiar
soil in which her burial place was
made was turned not into dust, but in
to solid stone
Years later the rude grave was un-
covered by chance, and the petrified
it as an omen of good and, carefully
exhuming it, enthroned it in a place of
honor in the village, the idol so
rescued being ever since more honored
than the Oldest totem.
Brennan claims to be the first white
man to see the statue, but so far from
feeling awe or being moved to adora-
ton, he at once realized that if it
COulQ D0 safety lTtllSpOTlSQ 10 the
United States it would be worth
mint of money for exhibition purposes.
The petrtfied woman, according to the
account, stands as though frozen into
granite while in the act of directing
some important movement of her sub
jects. The features as we'll as the
limbs are clearly defined, as though
life was still in the body, and the
whole aspect of the strangely pre-
served body is almost regal. although
the goddess was mistress only of a
savage tribe.
So much did the commercial value
of the image impress the Shrewd trader
that a. few words incautiously dropped
partially revealedshis mind to the tribe,
with the result that he was obliged to
take to his. sroop and sail out into d
thickening storm in order to save his
life. He has now sold his sloop, and
with the proceeds of the sale, added
to the profits of his cruise, he pro-
poses to- purchase a. fast steam lauhch
with which to return and boldly alb
duct the uncanny deity. According to
present arrangements he will buy his
launch on Puget Sound and return as
| quickly as possible to Prince of Wales
island, waiting his opportunity to land,
|, seize the idol and escape before the
natives can discover his presence and
E-frustrate his plan. The 'stone queen
! has, according to the tales of the tribe,
watched silently oyer their declining
! fortunes for upward of four centuries.

Look ut the Effect ON others Be
fore You Use Them.
In choosing wells many people who
have given no considera ton to the
matter may be glad of a. hint. 1t is
quite common thing to try a veil
over our faces and applaud our
choice of some color or design.
myself bought a blue veil, and
thought myself a harmonious delight
to- the eye, until informed by an on
locker that I was threatened with
symptoms of jaundice. This on
locker, too, confided to me some like
failures in her own experiments, ow-
ing to the fact that,s in viewing our
complexion under wells, we naturally
look through the color of the shroud-
ing. net, and virtually examine a
harmony with lens colored with the
prevailing tone. The onlooker gazes
with clear, uneolored spectacles, and
consequently sees with accurate per-
ception the color-values of skin and
veil. The moral of this is that we
must look at the effect of our wells
ION others before we use them.

THESE BE COLLARS
Suggest Sashes, Muffs, Capes and
What Not.


New York Herald.
The new collars are worthy of at
tention. They cleNerly display the
modiste's art and also her heartless-
ness. For the latest Partisan crea-
tions known as collars are said to be
nal. But the novelty of the gowns
is dependent largely upon them,
hence they are not to be ignored.
Novelty is their aim, and to at
tain this end feathers, lace, jewels,
ribbons, and fur tails are brought
into combination. The variety of
styles in vogue is so great that they
vary from an historical neck adorn-
ment to simple silk ruffie.
To see them at their best one must
get back view of the maiden of the
period. No matter how simple col
lar may appear in front it is pretty
certain to develop some eccentricity
before it reaches the extreme back.
1t is there that a plain stock de-
velops with a bow of astonishing
proportions or is finished with a
cluster Of fur tails or some other odd
device
A ribbon stock Of velvet or silk is
the usual foundation upon which the
new collars are built. They are then
jeweled, lace trimmed, or adorned
with feathers or fur.
The latest fancy to delight the
hearts of Gotham women is known
hxrf 10, NFz
collar. 1t encircles the throat with
a stock of Persian silk, which at the
back spreads out into large full
bow, the upper loops of which show
a tendency to curl about the neck.
Fastened to the knot in the center
of the bow Is a tiny minks head,
from which two furry tails dangle
over the back of the gown. This
collar is also shown in American
Beauty rose velvet with the little
head and tails in black Persian lamb.
1t is then called the "ConsueIo." It
in an adjustable collar and may be
worn with any costume. For street
wear 1T is generally seen in Persian
silk or chameleon velvet, with the
fur matching the trimming of the
costume.
The butterfly bow is the feature of
another novel collar. 1t is caught
at the back of a stock and the ends
of the wings reach nearly to the
waist line. This collar is exquisite in
silk gauze, wrought with jewels, for
an evening gown. 1t also is an ad-
dition to a cloth costume when
made in chameleon silk.
Stock collars of velvet, with. a
large rosette-like bow at the back,
are selling in the shops as the latest
collar novelty. The stock is either
plain or has little tabs of lace fall
ing over it. In price they vary from
$2.S5 to $4.75. There is no doubt that
they could be easily made at home
for So.
Another new collar novelty is one
that the nervous woman should only
gaze at from afar. It is made of a
! silk stock with fan-like projections
at either side, which reach so high
that they touch the ear. These pro-
| jections are of the silk, with an edge

BOILED MUSHROOMS.
A Timely Dish Which Is Sure to
Tempt the Epicure.
New Yorw World.

Tempt the Ep1cures
| New Yorw World.
Fresh mushrooms are flooding the
market, and the epicure is tempting
his palate by ordering them prepared
/ in every conceivable style. The house
wife may follow the sage advice of him
who said 1.-The way to a mans heart IS
through his stomach and gain a point
by serving the man of the house with
a savory dish of broiled mushrooms.
The recipe is here given: Too much
care cannot be taken in selecting this
vegetable, as the false ones so nearly
resemble the edible ones. The most de-
licious mushrooms are gathered in~the
broad fields, where they have grown
to perfection in the open sunshine.
Mushrooms should be gathered soon
after sunrise. Select some that have
been spread open wide; these are better
for broiling than the button mush-
rooms" which serve for other ways OF
cooking.
Choose the largest mushrooms to be
had. Peel and cut the stalks one half
inch from the tops. Baste we'll with
melted butter and sprinkle lightly with
pepper and salt. Heat the broiler very
hot,lay the mushrooms upon it with
the upper side down; close 1t carefully.
that the mushrooms my not be broken,
and broil over clear fire, turning the
broiler first on one side and then on the
other. AS soon astender, which will
be in about five minutes, open the
broiler, remove the mushrooms with
care and place on well buttered slices
of thia ,toast which have been prev
iously prepared, or else on bread which
has been fried in butter. Pour over
the whole a sauce made of drawn
butter and hot water thickened to the
consistency of cream.
