Dainty Furnishings.

Cushions grow larger and larger.
Many of them are made of figured silk,
the patterns in which are as big as
saucers.
Richly-covered chairs, too good tC
be hidden and yet slightly worn at the
corners, may be most effectively reno
waited with a round, open gold braid or
lace. If the material is much worn,
the ornamentation may be lined with
something in harmony with the
groundwork of the furniture.
TO while away the hours of your
pleasure in a perfumed atmosphere
you will find that the rich material
sachets now in vogue are of great as
sistance. These should be filled with
strong scent and apparently thrown
carelessly on pianos and tables. Bags
about IS inches long, trimmed around
with ribbon ruches and ornamented
with floating ribbons, may also be
hung with good effect on the backs OF
chairs and sofas.-Chicago Record.

Timbales are French dishes, so
named from "timbale," metal cup,
because they are generally made in
plain molds, either round or oval.
They are somewhat difficult to make,
however, requiring both care and
practice. They are lined with force
meat and filled with creamed force
meat of fish, chicken, sweetbreads or
spaghetti or rice. They are very pop
ular as an entree for company
luncheon. For ~ small molds or tim
bales, sometimes called dariole molds,
IL pounds of cold, tleshy fish of any
kind, such as salmon or halibut, will
be required. Cook a half pint of
bread crumbs with a pint of equal
parts of milk and rich cream for ten
minutes, and meantime pound to a
paste the fish, with half a dozen fresh
stewed mushrooms; rub this through
the PURGE sieve, season with salt, pep
per and nutmeg, and when the bread
and cream mixture is cold pound all
together until well mixed; add four
well-beaten eggs, fill the molds not
quite full, cover with buttered paper,
place them in deep pan and pour in
hot water almost to the rim of the
molds. Cook in a very moderate oven
for 25 minutes.-Boston Herald.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

German authority estimates that al
most third of humanity speak the
Chinese language, that the Hindoo Ian
guage is spoken by more than 100000
900, the Russian by 89,O00,000 while the
German is spoken by 57,OOO,OOO tongues
and the Spanish by 4S,0O0,000.
The races inhabiting the world
communicate with each other in 1904
different tongues, and confess to about
1000 religions. The number OF men
and women is very nearly equal, the av-
erage longevity of both sexes being only
80 years, about onethird of the popula-
ton dying before the age of II.
A Hillsboro (Ore.) man owes more
to his bicycle than he ever thought he
would. He missed the train that was
to take him to be married and was sore
put to it, when he bethought him of his
Wheel, which he mounted, and scorched
to such effect that he arrived just in
time to cheer the dropping spirits of a
whiting bride.
-Gouverneur Morris, of New York,
in 1872, proposed to the Continental con-
gress a decimal currency system. He
suggested that ten units equal one PEN
ny; tenpennies, one bill; ten bills, one dol
lors, ten dollars, one crown. In 1884,
jefferson proposed the system as now
in use; congress, in July, 1885, resolved
that the coinage should conform to the
decimal system.
GENERALLY, taking the entire world,
married people live longer than single,
and those who have to work hard for
their living longer than those who do
not, while also the average rate of lon
gevity is higher among civilized than I'M
civilized races. Further. people of large
physique live longer than those of
small, but those of middle size beat
both.

Annual Tournaments Open
This Forenoon.
Five First-ClaS Running Races
in the Afternoon.
The Rock-Driling Contest at the
Pavilion Last Night
Grand Parade Of Horses and Cattle Yesterday
Forenoon, and Another TO-MOr-
row Morning.

There was an immense jam of sight
seers at the Pavilion last evening, and
only words Of praise were heard for the
exhibits.
The butter-making contest, which
was to have taken place last evening
was again postponed until this evening
In order to allow the milk time to ripen
but it is understood that it will be de-
ferred no longer.
The principal feature of the evening
was the rock-drilling contest and seats
In the gallery which commanded view
of the contest were in great demand
while the crush about the railings which
shut in the huge block of Folsom gran
ite was suffocating.
Noce and Esola, the Amador City
boys, who were easy winners at drilling
the straight-down hole on Monday
evening, were the first to tap the gran
ite. They went at their work with
determination either to win out or lei
the spectators know there had been q
contest.
The half-upper hole was to be drilled
which, by the way, was a new departure
in drilling contests. 1t demands
steady nerve, great hitting powers. and
to say the least, places both striker and
drill-holder in trying positions.
When the fifteen minutes were up and
the hole made by the team was bu,
Is ZIG inches in depth, very few people
besides experienced miners knew wha,
it meant Most Of the crowd apparently
expected to see thirty inches drilled, but
several old miners laid their skulls to-
gether before the boys went at their
work, and said seventeen inches"
The next team to try their skill and
muscle were Browan and Pope OF
Coulterville. Pope was unsteady from
the first stroke, and in the first heat
succeeded in striking his partner three
or four raps on the hand and forearm,
bring the claret in considerable guam
titles. Such a small thing as blood
letting was not, however, noticed. and
the boys made good time until the
eleventh minute, when their hole took
a curve, pinching the drill until 1t be-
came in1movable, and a minute was
lost releasing it.
AT this point the team wasted an
other minute in ascertaining how deep
they had gone, and when the time was
up they had to their credit 15 1915
inches.
Kitto and Harvey next faced the
music and did some very clever work
but 1t was useless. They had not yet
arrived at their Midw1nter Fair form
when they handily peat all corners. Not
lick amiss was struck by either man
but while it was a very clever exhibi-
ton force in the blows was lacking
For long time Jack Kitto has been
known among mining men as the best
striker in the mines, but he has appar-
entity had his day and must take back
seat and allow Frank Esola to pass tc

When time was called the tape
showed but 1875 inches-just an inch to
the bad.

STOCK PARADE.
Some of the Finest Horses and Cattle

The sun came up yesterday veiled in
the haze of Indian summer, but it only
heightened the effect of the grand stock

conceived of such a herd OF magnificent
