bearing, who should select the ruff as
her most appropriate adornment and
encourage her dressmaker in making
it as high and bristling as she will. 1t
will serve to emphasize the good points
of her form and make her face seem
only the more comely.
Stout, short women, on the other
hand, would better ignore the fact
that such fashion is coming in, and
on dressy occasions leave their short
necks, as far as possible, uncovered.
That there IS time and place for all
things is never more emphatically
true that in considering a matter Of
modes. To know instinctively the
right time and the right place is, in
the world of fashion, the summit of
wisdom.
The new ruffs are of the highest and
stiffest type. Oftenest the ruffs are of
white muslin, stifiy starched and care.
fully adjusted. AS everybody knows,
the gown with which q ruff is worn
must be high necked in the back.
Thus the ruff stands very close to the
back of the head and the ears, and is
so stiff and straight that it makes an
effective and becoming background to
a pretty face. The corsage Is always
cut square in front. and the ruff comes
down for little at each side of the
square cut neck, leaving the white
throat and the jewels which bedeck it
in sort of frame.
Naturally with this manner of COS
tune the low coiffure has to be a5an-
doned, for, however many coils might
be placed at the back of the neck, the
ruff would conceal them. So the hair
is smoothly brushed up at the back,

Fires in Great Forests.

The report Of the chief fire warden
of Minnesota has been published, and
contains many statements Of interest.
As part OF the precautionary measures
adopted. about lS, 900 placards, warn.
ing against kindling fires in forest or
prairie, were distributed. Twenty
seven fires in forest regions, including
those III brush land and marshes, ore
reported. They burned oyer an ag.
ereeate urea of 1866 acres and did
damage to the amount of S3l25. The
wet weather of last year greatly re-
duced the losses. In the prairie re-
gion of the western side OF the State
dry, windy conditions were conducive
to the spreading of fire during the
period from August to November, and
los field prairie fires occurred, burn.
ing over about 70, 900 acres, and caus'
ing q damage of SS4,277. In the same
territory in 1884 about 100000 acres
were burned over. The local wardens
controlled and extinguished many
fires. The State Warden had consult.
ed manufacturers of locomotives in
the United States and England with
reference to the best spark arrester.

The warden says that the 1000 Chip.
pewa Indians that are scattered
throughout Minnesota forests are
more careful about extinguishing their
forest fires than white people. The
greater number of fires are caused by
locomotive sparks, but the careless
farmer. burning over fields before
plowing, and the thrashing machines
are also q source Of danger.

The Gambler Got Well.

1t is well known that gamblers as
class are superstitious and have pro-
found faith in efficacy of hood COS,
rabbits feet, mascots and the like.
The innate fear of Portland gambler
who was sick came to the surface in
an amusing way the other day. He
called in a we'll known physician,
whose skill is excelled only by the
CHEEKY way upon which he enters a
a sickroom and smiles upon misfor-
tune - the misfortune of others,
of course. Anyway the doctor
has a fund of humor that makes
him a welcome visitor to all patients
without regard to his medical ability,
which is unexcelled. The gambler
sent for him and the physician found
him quite ILL., and in bad state mem
tally. His caller prescribed for his
patient and left him. Several calls
followed, but the sick gambler did
not improve as fast as he thought he
should. At last he broke forth;
"Doc, you amt treatin' me right. "
"Why, 1 am quite sure have done
everything for you, Tom" was the
reply.
"No, you amt. You're practisln' on
me, Say, I've heard tell that when a
collaborating gambler gifts sick,
the doctors experiment on him with
new tangled medicine. Ii they kill
him, who cares? just worthless
faro dealer cashed in his checks
''Well, Tom, I've heard of certain
kind of bird that kills snakes, but
your information about doctors and
gamblers, must say, is news to me.
"Well, its dead straight, and I
want a square deal and I'm going to
get it, too, or break the bank. Say,
doc, "and the PROSTATE gamester glared
at the physician, ''I'ye killed three
men.
"That's all right, Tom; that's all
right; I've killed more than a hun
dred."
The gambler got we'll. Portland

Rich Gold Discoveries.

An extraordinary rich gold strike
has been made in Coolgardie, Aus
tralia. A gentleman just in from
Black Flag states states that big
nugget, weighing over 800 ounces,
nearly all pure gold, with some
quartz attached has been found
The shape is rather fiat and is
described as being very hand
some slug. 1t was obtained from
q rich leader which branched from the
main lode. The prospectors followed
the leader some distance to where it
pinched out, but before doing SO the
nugget was met with. A number of
other pieces we're obtained, altogether
about s1O,O worth'o of specimens.
A new find at the 150-foot level of
the Great Bowlder Kalgoorlie is also
reported. There is two feet of stone
on the eastern wall richer than
anything seen in the mine. 1t is
simply mass of gold, the stone being
almost hidden by a glistening coating
of gold. In the crevices there are
seams of almost pure gold in fine par
ticles, while occasionally Jumps of
stone containing two-thirds of gold
are met with. Two shift bosses stand
by while the stone is broken, and
while the whole Of the two-foot seam
is bagged. Pure gold, and almost
pure pieces Of metal, are taken out.
The lode at this point ID over twelve
feet wide and is all extremely rich,
but only two feet is sensational stuff.
