1t is a desirable thing for house
keeper to have a regular sweeping cos
tune for her work. The dress should be
a simple frock of cambric, seersucker
or some washable material, made with
a round waist and straight skirt. A
large kerchief of white muslin, digni~
fed by the name fichu, is picturesque
addition to the dress, and serves topro-
tect the waist from dust. The sleeves
of the waist should be loose, so they can
be rolled up and give freedom to the
movement A round cap of muslin,
which may be easily washed, should
cover the hair loosely and prevent dust
touching the hair. The large Dutch
fchu recommended is really a very
useful article. 1t is pinned closely
around the throat and prevents the dust
from drifting under the dresswaist OF
into the folds of the dress. When made
OF sheet-white muslin, or even of creamy
cheesecloth, it is very easily washed, SC
the same frock may be worn for sweep
ing long time without being pu
through the wash. Almost any plan
frock of wash material may be uset
with this protection of Dutch tichu ant

w,v Cat, Fan ON Their Feet.

Why does a cat always fall on its feetP
This is a question that has recently
absorbed the earnest attention OF the
French Academy of Sciences. The
problem is clearly a difficult one, for
that learned body of savants has so far
failed to offer final solution. M
Marcy, distinguished professor who
has made special study of animal
movements, claims that the body OF a
cat is composed of two parts, one OF
which acts as pivot for the other
Upon dropping, the cat, it appears,
paws upward, and then by series OF
convulsive movements, it gradually
rights itself and reaches the ground IN
an upright position The whole
process of turning is accomplished be
fore the animal has fallen a yard
Without fulcrum, without something
to lean against, the cat certainly coull
not accomplish the feat. NJ Marcy
declares that the animals limbs ac
upon fulcrum which its own body pro

TURQUOISE IN NEVADA.
Found In Large Quantities in Lincoln
County.

Turquoise has been discovered re-
Gently in Lincoln county, in south
eastern Nevada, at the foot of Sugar
Loaf Peak, says the New York World
The county rock is mica schist. The
zone in which the turquoise is found
is about half mile long. In this
zone there has apparently been no
assuring, with the exception of the
intrusion of one large dixie, which is
about $50 feet wide and shows clearly
for $500 feet in length. The largest
and purest specimens of turquoise are
found in this dixie, sometimes show
ing on the surface, in nodules which
vary from the size of pinhead to an
average walnut. Mr.. George Sim
mons of Vanderbilt, Cal, from whom
we have received this information,
reports that he has found several pre-
historic workings and numerous
stone implements, All these old
workings have been filed in, and the
only way to detect them was by the
shrinkage of the loose earth and the
numerous particles of torquoise
which it contained. Two crosscuts
have been driven to open the tur
quoise bearing rock, one at depth
of thirty five feet. A shaft twenty
five feet deep has also been sunk, be-
sides several ten feet holes. The
turquoise from this place has beer
marketed at Denver, New York ano
Los Angeles. The largest of thu
stones sold up to date weighed o1
carats, with others ranged from II
to % carats. Specimens of the ston
which we have seen are rather lgh
blue color. Development work is
present carried on at the propert.
by four men, but it is expected the.
will increase the force before winter

Nearly everybody had a bet down on the result, and during the running or trot- ting of the races the nps,n would shout Themselves hoarse, throw their hats in the air, and, in every outward manner emphasize their enthusiasm. The wo- men would grow hysteuioal, hug one an- ether, si-iream, yell, and strike the ssats with their parasols. They got more en- joyment out of the races than could ros- sibly have been conceived by an au3i- ence of white people. They never com plained of the judging, and those who philosophers and scrapej together enough money to bet on the next ralce.
 Many negroes are excellent bicycle rJi- CTS, and in addition to the trotting and running races several bicycle contests were given. Some fast time was made and the racing eficited mu2h enthusiasm.
 During the four days 50,0O0 people at- tended the fair. The negroes conducted themselves in a most exemplary man. ner and the police had but little to do. On Friday, the biggest day of the fair when 15,000 srangers were in the city, there was only one arrest made, and that for drunkenness. The fair was big success. The white fair, which had been held here for many years, was abandoned year bsfCre last as the asso- citbon could not make it pay.

Ex0NERATE HIM.
Resolutions of Praise to J. A. Crockett by His
 Congregation.

The mebers of St. Johns A. M. E. church have passed the following resolu- tions:
 Whereas We, the officials of St. John A. M. E. church, have read the article published in the daily papers of our city, namely, the Evening News, the Evening Ledger and Tthe Age-Heralr; and
 Whereas, said articles, as they relate to our pastor, Rev. J. A. Crockett, D. D., are misleading and calculated to injure the character of Dr. Crockett, a good man; and
 Whereas, said newspaper articles rep resent our church as being in a state of confusion, when the case at law was between but one member of the church and a citizen of the city, we the official board of St. John A. M. T. church do therefore resolve:
 l. That our confidence in the eharac- ter ability and moral purity of our pas- tor is absolute.
 ?. Be it resolved. That as a pastor, scholar and pulpiteer he has but few peers.
 8. Be it resolved. That we publish the fact that pr. Crockett is the only pastor who has paid any money in five years on the principal of the mortgage debt of our church, and has adjusted the balance of the debt in such a manner as to render US payment colupdldtlNtly easy.
 4. We do further resolve, to place the stamp of unqualified disapproyal of any person who shall circulate reports against pastor or church, and we do hereby stamp as utterly false and abso- lutely without foundation the inundoes and insinuationS against the character of Dr. Crockett, a tried Mason, a brave Sir Knight, Christian gentleman and minister of the Gospel.

 In regard to the discrimination which the regents of the White Shield allege has been made against white children and in favor of the negroes, MT. Lane said that the latter were legally entitled to larger percentage of the school fund than they were now getting; that the law provided that the school fund appropriated by the state and county should be divided according to the popu- lation of white and negro children; that, notwithstanding the percentage Of white children, was four-sev- enths they got $22,000 for sal- aries in their schools while the salarie s paid in the negro schools amounted to only $4,000, or less than one-fifth. MT. Lane also said that of the S5,O0O poll tax collected for school purposes the negroes paid one-third and were entitled under the law to that amount, but that all the poll tax was given into the general fund and appropriated as above.

 The public school teachers who expect to draw their pay on Oct. 1 will be dis appointed. On account of lack of available cash the pay day has been postponed until Nov l. The following telegram from Montgomery, containing an interview with Gov. Johnston, gives the cause of the delay:
 Gov. Johnston being asked concerning the delay in teachers pay, stated that the postponement of pay day was occa- stoned by lack of available funds in the treasury For years past the teach CTS have been forced to wait for their fall quarter salaries. Last year they were not paid until the middle of Decem- Der: They will all be paid, however, within the month of October the gov ernor states, and the payments for the succeeding quarters of the fiscal year will be met promptly.

 old and respected resident of Pickens- vile, Ala, came here last Friday night to transact some business. While hsre he met some frierds. They had a. few drinks together. Cox left his friends early in the night however, and went to the country tavern and retired At a late hour he awoke and arose from the bed, and, being very thirsty, went in search of a drink of water. Instead of going into the hall as he intended do- ing, he stepped oul5 of the window and fell 50 feet % the ground One side of h.s body was crushed into a pulp.
 The proprietor of the tavern was asleep in the tavern and was aroused by some one groaning. He got up out of his chair and went out upon the street and found Cox lying on &he ground with his face turned up, suffering the pain of death. He caltad the aid of the porter in the office, and the two men picked Cox up and brought him into the tavern. A doctor was called, who did all in his power 70 relieve the sufferings of the dying man. Alfter examination, the doc- tor expressed his opinion that Coxls re- covery was impossible. Tn a quarter of an hour he was dead.
 The body was carried to Pickensvile for burial.
