Throe Tricks for Slender Folk.

Dainty shoulder fnishings are in
great numbers, and are highly regard
ed especially by slender women, to
whom they bring the appearance of in
creased width, SO much desired One
of the most beautiful of these devices is;
the long scarf of chiffon. tied into fes-
toons by butterfly bows Of ribbon and
finished at the ends by punches of
flowers and ribbon. The festoon that
passes about the shoulders is allowed
to droop we'll over them, the little
bows coming just to the front or over
the round OF the shoulder. Elaboration
is accomplished by giving to this pair
of bows long and fanciful ends. These
scarfs are offered at big prices in the
stores, but four yards Of chiffon and a
pair of deft fingers accomplish the
same thing for very little money.

Curious Alaskan Custom.

A fact remarkable to our civilized
women is the one that the Alaska
squaws make their ages public They
wear a piece of wood or bone in the
lower lip, the size of the ornament in
dicating the age of the owner. When
a girl marries her lower lip is pierced
and pea is inserted. As she grows
older this is increased in size until it
is almost as wide as her chin and one
fourth of an inch high. The result is
naturally most unsightly. There is an
Interesting family at Fort Wrangel.
which illustrates perfectly this peculiar
custom. 1t includes four generations,
A young girl may be seen sitting at
cne side of the one-roomed square
frame house, while her mother, grand
r-5ther and great-grandmother ere
squatted on the earthen floor near the
door, Offering mats and baskets to the
ships passengers who come on shore.
There is no disfiguring ornament on
the girls chin, but there is big one
on the lips of her great grandmother.

our readers do not need to be told
that we have never entertained any
exalted regard. for 1.-The Cobllrger." We
confess, however, to have thought he
had more worldly wisdom, if not good
feeling. than he has seemed to show
| himself possessed Of during the last few
days. Prince Ferdinand is still at
Carlsbad drinking the waters which he
refused to the ailing and prosecuted
Maker Of Bulgaria" It is. difficult
enough to imagine what his highness
means by such conduct. Is it.callous
1nsensibility to the tragedy which has
been enacted before his eyes, and for
which he is morally responsible, or
| simply that incompetence to under
stand what the situation demands
which seems to dog the path Of Bour-
bon princes? Surely it is not coward
ice? One can hardly imagine crown
accepting the throne Of Bulgaria But
why is the prince not at least going to
,, Stambuloff's funeral? If his absence
does not point to a lack of moral if not
physical courage, it is not easy to say
what does.
Perhaps his head is turned by the re-
ception of the Bulgarian deputation''
at Peterhoff. A pretty scene that is,
as the semi-oficial Vienna Press says,
"Stanbuloff murdered, and the Metro
politan Clement posing as the repre-
sentative of Bulgarian Does Prince
Ferdinand really think that recent
events have given him stronger hold
on the czar and Prince Lobanoff, and
that they mean to recognize" him?
All the signs go to show that he is
likely to lose his throne first. A few
years since Lord Salisbury declared
that "in the character of the Bulgari-
ans we look for one of the greatest
guarantees and securities that the east
ern question will ultimately be solved
in the manner which best suits the
hopes Of all who value human happi-
ness, civilization and progress" and
the principality had around her
friendly Great Britain and Austria
Hungary, a well-disposed Germany, a
by no means inimical Porte, and
Russia pOWerless for mischief At the
present moment Austria Hungary is
disgusted, Germany Indifferent, the
Porte, Greece and Servia irritated,
Great Britain indignant and Russia
dangerous, and to cope with this
threatening situation there is now no
Stambuloff. If Prince Ferdinand is at
ease in contemplating the change that
has taken place, chow singularly deep
this deep young man must be!'

by the hand, an said: Come, father,
the son of yer old comrade has turned
ye out in the world. Ask no more of

Genesis of the Name.
Snag Finnerty was a lad with philo
New York World. 1t was this "busted
toot," as he called it, that gave him
this pretty little pet name of "Snag."
They were standing on corner one day
when a hot tomale man passed. Il

'em call dem tings tomales?" Don't
you know?" asked Micl1y. "Naw! Nor
you don't needer." "Yes I does, and
I'll tell yer if yer wants to know. Dye

Gully was er. goin' up der Bowery one

Plausible Argument, {,

Between the passenger offices of the
Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis rail-
way and the freight depot there is
little spot of green sward that the pub
lie has few opportunities of observing.
A tall fence shuts off the view from the
street, so that it is only when the large
gate has been left open through mis-
take that passersby get chance to see
the little park.
Several days ago the gate was stand
ing open and two cOuntrymen who
happened to be passing stopped for a
closer inspection.
What do you suppose that's for?"
said one.
Don't know, unless it's where the
the railroad grazes it's stock" was the
reply.
"Pshaw; railroads don't have no
stock said the other in disgust.
you bet they do said the COM
panion, because read in paper
about them watering their stock, and
guess stock has got to eat as well as
drink"

DIFFICULT TASK.
How a Steel Ring Weighing Many Tons
Was Made.

was
The steel ring for generator No. 3
at the Niagara Power company's new
plant is now at the shop of the West
inghouse company, and is attracting
a great deal of attention from steel
men, as we'll as from electricians. 1t
is regarded as one of the very finest
pieces of work ever turned out. 1t was
forged at Bethlehem, Pa. The ring is
considerably the largest of the kind
ever cast. 1t is II feet 71a inches in
diameter, about S feet high and weighs
$4,000 pounds. It cost over $S,0Co The
making of the ring was an excet, tngly
difficult task. A nickel steel inge. 4h
feet in diameter at the bottom ana .1h
feet long was cast. A hole was ti,hn
bored through it lengthWise. A block
of the proper weight was then cut from
the ingot, and the cylinder thus OBJ
tanned was heated and, under hy-
draulic pressure Of $4,000 tons, was ex-
panded to the present size. 1t would
be just like cutting from lead pencil
section half an inch long, boring the
lead out of it and then expanding the
wood to ring an inch in diameter
The ring had to be forged to perfect
circle, and in such a way as to pre-
vent the possibility of weakness in any
part, for, when the tremendous pres
sure of Niagara is brought to bear on
the turbine, which will turn the ring,
it will revolve around the armature at
the rate Of $50 revolutions per minute
The electrical energy thus obtained will
be 5000 horse power

Wires Won't Work i'll HoOsaic Tunnel.

It is an old fact that the telegraph
wires will not work through the Hoosaic
tunnel Messages have to be sent on
wires strung on poles over the top of
the mountain, fully nine miles, and that
is the way ingoing and outcoming pas
senger and freight trains are heralded
to the keepers of the two tunnel ap-
proaches. In order to maintain this
overland mountain line swath of
woodland has to be clear of trees and
bushes directly up the steep mountain
side. There are supposed to be mag
