The Widely Distended Skirt.

Our prayers have been answered. The
heavy, widely distended skirts will very
soon be thing Of the past. They are
an abomination and ought never to have
been allowed to become fashionable.
Why, it would take four hands to ma
nipulate the folds in such way as to
keep the skirt out of the dust, and when
a woman tries to accomplish the task
with two her gown in soon forgotten in
her cramped fingers and she gives it up
in despair. How anything so totally un-
fit to be worn in the street ever became
fashion is mystery to every one, ex-
cept, perhaps, those who manufacture
the haircloth. But physicians have de-
nounced the heavy Innings as injurious
to health, and this, with the good sense
of long suffering and heroic women,
who have patiently tried to endure the
burden for fashions sake, has brought
about decided reaction against them,
and the heavy skirt must go.-Philadel-

The Cross.

A letter from W. F. Carman says: In
your paper find mention Of rich find
at Dashur, where relics embellished
with the cross were found. Some doubt
has existed as to relics bearing the cross
being genuine antiques. I have in my
possession arelic from Nineveh clutched
from destruction by my own hand while
excavating chamber in the southwest
angle of northwest palace of Nimrod,
one of the most ancient or Nineveh.
This relic cannot be less than 3, 900
years old. 1t has upon the upper surface
the Maltese cross and is surrounded by
buds of some flower. 1t is lamp Of
hard baked clay similar in material to
the cylinders whereon is recorded the
history Of the time. Its antiquity, how
ever, has been doubted because it bears
cross. lean prove that the most ancient
relics found both at Nineveh and Baby
lon have the cross as the most ancient
emblem Of the sun. It is seen on the
necklace of the king and on the rock
sculperes of Bavian and elsewhere in
the ruins CT Nineveh and vicinity. -

The Exclamation of 1t.

A little Jap was on trial in the police
court for defraudipg an innkeeper.+ Ee
had testified in his own behalf that he
had paid his room rent for month.
"How much did you pay?" asked the
prosecuting attorney:
The little Jap sat and stared at his
questioner.
The query was repeated.
"Quarter of 'leven."
!, Everybody glanced at the clock and
observed that the time was correctly
given. + a
eyes, it's quarter to II, but I want
to know how much room rent you paid. !"
"Quarter of '1even,' repeated the
Jap.
"You don't understand. How much
money did you pay?'' ill.,. :&

The question was repeated in various
forms, but that was the only answer the
Jap would give, and he grew more We

Receiving hospital and examined before
the commissioners Of insanity when 1T
was learned that he paid $1O.75 for his

She Didn't Know.

My friend Mrs. B. is one of those
good natured women who are always
wanting to make other people comfort
able. She happened to be in the railway
station the other day; man she knew
came in. He said he was going to Pitts
burg Now, it happened that Mrs. B. I,
whose husband is director, knew the
conductor of the Pittsburg train. He
passed through the waiting room just
then, and Mrs. B. called to him.
Conductor, said she, "this is my
especial friend, Mr. Smith. He is going
on your train, and want you to show
him every attention possible.
The conductor, Of course, said he
would, but when he went away Mr..
Smith turned to Mrs. B., with sickly
smile
II did intend to go to Pittsburg to-
day, and I was in an awful hurry, but,
on the whole, I think I'll wait for the
next train.''
And he handed that kind hearted
woman slip Of paper. It was pass,
but it was made out to one Jones.-Ex.

How to Make q New Face.

Skin removing for beautifying pur-
poses is having agreat vogue among the
women who can afford it. At present
the price for making over the face of a
woman under 50 is $50. An older sub
ject who is greatly wrinkled has to pay
$1O0. The operation confines one to her
room for five days and is somewhat
painful, but not unbearably SO, as the
skin removing paste contains cocaine to
numb the surface it rests upon. An odd
thing is that if you have your wrinkles
removed before you are really an old
woman they will come again as you ad-
vance to the wrinkled age, but if you
have them removed after you are as
wrinkled as you are ever likely to be
they Go not return. And danger Of
the operation, so far as its complete
success goes, is that you will move your
face while the paste is getting in it's
deadly work. If you do, wrinkle
forms and cannot be got rid of. Liter
ally you must bear the pain with an alb
solutely placid couutenance. Even a
grin is detrimental. - Philadelphia

HOW HE WORKED A MINE.

"How do we work mine?'' exclaim-
cd the Sheep mountaineer. swell, You
unsophisticated, undeveloped outcrop-
ping of the land Of the rising sun, I'll
proceed to enlighten your beclouded col
lege bred understanding.
The college bred young man from the
land of the rising sun sat down on a
$500 to the ton chunk Of ore and turned
his undivided attention to listening to a
discourse on mineralogy.
"We first prospect around until we
find a tunnel in on the jugular vein and
a pile of ore on the dump Then if the
other feller ain t looking we jump. Then
we proceed to sink shaft on the float,
gather all the. gangue and sack it, being
careful to preserve technical phrases in
mineralogical science in SO doing. Then
we prospect the stockholders with an as
sessment, and if they don't como down
put in blast. At this point we call the
roll, grab No. warranted not to rip,
wear, tear, ravel, cut or run down at
the heel ragical, tragical, irrasive smelt-
er and run up our stack. IF the other
feller holds the best hand, the stack
will diminish, and we consequently
drift for pay streak. If we don't get
through drifting by fall, it's the fust
thing we 60 at in the spring. We now
concentrate our efforts, and if the silver
panned out don't have the eagle stamp
ed on it we sample the outcropping in
every saloon within a radius Of ten
miles and take a fresh chew of tobac-
co. Then we get to work in earnest,
salt the dump and 90 east and sell all
the stock we can. We return, renew our
grub pile, pack it into the cabin and
wait for spring to open and the snow to
go off. During this period we amuse
ourselves playing seven up for the
drinks. We then import mining and
civil engineer, run few levels, CROSS
cut for another assessment, get it, cave
in the shaft and abandon the property.
Them - The Sheep mountaineer paused
for o moment to catch his breath, but
the moment was fatal to his learned dis
course, for the college bred young man
from the land of the rising sun feebly
reached for his pick, staggered slowly
to his feet, looked wildly through the
limpid atmosphere toward the summit
of Sheep mountain and disappeared be-

The loss Of the Reina Regente recall.
ed the fact that Spain, once the greatest
naval power Of the world, has lostsnot
less than GOO men-of- war in shipwreck
since the beginning of the sixteenth cen.
tury. There is ample documentary; eyi.
dence to this effect, and the greatAt dis.
asters to the Spanish fleets are here re-
counted in their ohronologic order.
Of the feet sent against Algiers in
1913, under Admiral Don Hugo de Mon
cada, 80 vessels founderod in a storm,
with 4, 900 men on board.
Another expedition against Algiers
sent by Emperor Charles v in .1541, lost
14O vessels on the rocks of Marocco
$500 men losing their lives.
OF the fleet that sailed in 1862, nnde,
General Mendoza, to deliver Oran from
the Mussulmans, 20 ships, including
the flagship, with the above named gen
eral on board, never returned.
A year later, in the fall of 1868, 9
cyclone in the bay Of Cadiz sent IL o1
The government best caravels to the
bottom.
In 1888 the famous armada, believed
20 be invincible, met her doom in the
English channel, 81 out of 1870 vessels
sin6ng with most of their crews. The
loss Of men is estimated at IA, 900.
Fourteen Of Admiral Don Antonio
Navarro's vessels foundered in storm
off the Mexican coast near San Juan de
Ulloa in 1890. a
Six years later fearful storm in the
8iscayan bay caused the loss Of Al yes
sells belonging to the fleet of Admiral
Martin de Padila. .#
Not long after this Admiral Marquis
de Santa Cruz lost 10 vessels, with q, SOC
men, on the Corsican coast. -5
After long pause General Jose Pi'
zarro lost five men-of-war in an engage
ment with the English in 1741. @
Within the last 1876 years the records
are much easier of access, and the fig
ures can be given absolutely correct. In
this time the Spaniards lost IL large
battleships under steam and 81 first
class sailers, with 1870 guns; % frig-
ates, with 800 guns, and more than
100 gunboats, torpedo boats, brigs,
galeotes, etc. The loss of life in this
period is conservatively estimated at &c.,
500 men. 5
Thus the worst enemy of Spanish su-
premacy on the seas seems to be other
than man. More than double the mum
ber of ships have been lost by the in
clemency of the elements than were lost
in battle. e.-Philadelphia Record.

SKETChiNG.

Its Practice Essential t1 The Success Of
the Student In Art.
Originality and skill in inventing or
telling story and in expressing the
passions depend, like everything else in
art, on o painters powers of observa-
tiou. and the difference between the
greater or less painter results very much
from this-that the first thinks Of his art
everywhere and at a., times. the last in
his painting room Oh ) and at set hours.
Hogarth, describing his own habits,
saws: ''Be where Nv .uld while my eyes
were open was .ntinually at my
studies and acquiring something useful
tony profession, 'and Stothard's s sketch
books were filed with groups Of figures
and scenery made without selection, but
merely of what chance offered to his no.
tice while neutrality-suspicious. objects
which the windows of an inn presented
while horses were changing, and some
times what he saw from the top of a
stagecoach.
Students should be assured that the
practice Of redeeming spare moments OF
time by sketching whatever is thrown
in their way is an invaluable one. Those
who adopt it will be sure to be reward
ed by often finding memoranda so made
of far greater interest than they had
imagined, and it will correct the habit,
always fatal to originality, of going to
nature for things only that resemble
what they have seen in art. Among the
drawings by Raphael collected by Sir
Thomas Lawrence were many evidently
of what chance presented to him. One
in particular was singularly elegant, OF
three or four young men in the dress OF
his time sitting at table, and their at
titudes but very slightly varied-an ac-
cidental group in all probability of his
pupils.
In the works of Michael Angelo we
meet with very many attitudes that bear
the stamp of being adopted almost i'm
mediately from nature, and indeed most
of the noble range of his prophets and
sibyls have this look. A subject happily
adopted from nature should not deprive
the painter of the credit due to inven-
tion, for indeed the mere faculty Of in
venting an incident is far more common
than the nice and quick perception of
that in nature which is fitted to the pur
poses of art, and which ordinary OBJ
servers would pass by or reject perhaps
as trifling or unworthy. Burns turned
up mouse with his plow and was
heard to say by man who was at work
with him, "I'u make that mouse i'm
mortaL'' And he kept his word.-Lon-
