TOYS FOR YOUR GODCHILD.

A FASHION that one may follow If it
n is desired to give a unique yet
quite useless christening gift Is to
send your godchild toy of solid sterling
silver. This Is a Dutch fashion, and the
toys are handed down from one generation
TO another. Some of these tiny toys,
which are carefully designed, take the form
OF tea sets, chairs and sofas. The stork
which brings the ne W babies to the homes OF
Holland is favorite subject often mod
elled LII these TOYS.

CRAZE FOR TULLE.

THE craze for tulle both in dress aud
i millinery is quite as great as ever.
This is not to be wondered at, for it
is an extremely pretty garnishing, the
effect is so cool and light and summer
like, and the extra ordinary blending OF
unnatural colors does not look so bizarre
In soft tulle as it would in ribbon or
even in flowers and feathers. Pink and
pearl gray chiffon are lovely together on
a pink and silver shot silk. Pale sea-
green and rose col ored Chiffons blend
beautifully on a Marie Antoinette brocade
and black and white ehiffons are used
with exquisite effect on some Of the black
and white liberty satins and che cked
taffeta silks

AS the time has arrived wien these
trees are to be found we'll decorated In
every country house, it may be inter-
esting to note that perhaps the first
appearance OF theIn in England was in
1929, when, according to the account
given by the late Mr.. Charles Greville
in his Memoirs" at Passenger on
Christmas day in that year:
"The Princess Lieven got up a little
fete such as is customary all Over Ger
many. Three trees in great pots were
put upon a long table covered with
pink linen; each tree was Illuminated
with three circular tiers of colored
wax candles-blue, green and white.
Before each tree was displayed q,
quantity Of toys, gloves, pocket-hand-
kerchiefs, work boxes, books and va
riOus articles-presents made to the.
owner Of the tree. 1t was very pretty.
Here it was only for the children; In
Germany the custom extends to per-
son of all ages"
l believe it is generally supposed
that the Prince Consort FIRST brought
the custom ill.," to the detriment Of
our national twelfth cake and Twelfth
Night celebrations; but it would seem
that Christmas trees were before his
time in England.-J. Standish Haly,

Women Detectives Most Successful
in Trapping Theses Criminals.
Up town merchants are complaining,
to the police of ar organized gang Of
shoplifters, composed of little girls UNI
der twelve years of age. They are
hard to catch. Their faces tell moth
ing. They usually travel around with
heavily yelled women who go from
counter to counter, handling the goods,
but buying nothing. At a glove
ter, for instance, which Is a favorite,
place for their operations, they will
stop and examine expensive gloves,
and then, as If by accident, tip them
over on the floor. Perhaps ten pairs
Of gloves have fallen off the counter.
The child goes to pick them up, re-
turns W or eight pairs to the
ter, slides two or three pairs into the.
bag Of the shoplifter, which hangs
low down in the folds of her dress.
BY the way, one of the most daring
pieces of shoplifting that has been
done this year was by a woman detec-
tive. She had been employed by Il.
large firm for a number of years, and
was one of the most successful women
in her profession. Last year she cap
tured on an average seven shoplifters'
a day, and was the highest paid de-
tective in any Of the Sixth avenue
stores. She had robbed her employers
for years, and was eventually discov-
cred by a little cash girl, who saw her
take a lace handkerchief from a coun-
ter and slide it into her dress front
The honest little girl told the floor
walker that a shoplifter had been
along, and pointed out the detective
The iioorwalker, for some reason no
more difficult to fathom than a Tilted
affection, insisted on the detective be
ing searched, and when this was done.
the handkerchief was found, as the
cash girl had said, and also some
other articles which had been picked
up and concealed while the detective
was supposed to be watching the pee
ulation Of others. "Set a thief to catch
a thief."-New York Dispatch.

If the English forces just ordered to
Ashantee have as good luck as befell
the last British adventure of the same
character, Coomassie ought TO be ere

have been achieved in time to add in
the "Statesman's Year Book" for 1896
the Kingdom of Ashantee to the pos
sessions of the British crown.
Sir Garnet Wolseley-now Lord VOL
seley, commander-in-chief of the Brit
ish army-landed on the rich and
bloody gold coast on Oct. ,, 1873. BY
Feb. 4, 1874, lie had set torch to Coo
massie and wrung from the Ashantee
king an inglorious peace. Fifty thou
sand ounces of gold were to be paid
out of his sable majesty's treasure.
The black king was to respect the
eastern boundaries of his English,
Dutch and African neighbors on the
west. The hideous sacrifice of Adai-
the o%utpouring upon human affairs of
human blood-waS to be abated, If not
utterly stopped.
Such were the conditions of the
peace. Perhaps if they had been OBJ
served the British cabinet would not
now be ordering regiments into the
black forests, out of which no white
man energies unscathed by savage
weapon or by more deadly African
fever. One says, perhaps, because
there is always a condition precedent
to British schemes of aggression.
Sir Garnet WolSeley had 2,400 white
men and a parcel of blacks friendly
to the British flag. Any of the coast

IT'S A THOUo--..s YEARS OLD.
Carving Found on A Boulder In the
Far Northwest.

Carving Found on A Boulder In the
Far Northwest.
George and William Starbird have
found Oh their fathers farm, near the
mouth of the Skagit river, what is evil
IDENTIFY a relic of the bygone race, and
shows that the Puget Sound country
must have been inhabited long before
the arrival of the Indians. This Is an
oblong bowlder of bastard marble,
rounded seemingly by the friction OF
ages.
1t was plowed up at a point about
2 II miles below Fir, and a half a
mile from the river bank is an old
beach formation, about three miles
from the present beach. The young
men were grading a road when they
came upon the rock in Il ditch abou
three feet deed. The place had been
entirely Overgrown by giant fir trees
$50 to 200 years old, and as it must
have taken a long time to form the
half mile of land between the spot
and the present river bank, it is es-
timated that the bowlder must have
been thrown up fully 100 years ago.
But the most remarkable point about
this relic is that it plainly shows that
the hand of man has worked upon it.
rs one side of it has been cut down to
a perfectly smooth, level edge, and
deep, semi-circular grooves have been
cut into it lengthwise. 1t cannot we'll
have been used by the Indians, for the
oldest Indians on the Skagit have
been shown the relic, and all say they
never saw anything like it.-Seattle
