At Oberstein about 30, 600 people
are engaged i'll the agate-cutting in
dustry. The methods now used are
the same as those of century ago.
Large polishing wheels are used, and
the men engaged in the work must lie
fiat on their chests; they rarely hive to
be over forty years of age. If it were
not for the coloring methods known to
the agate-cutters of Oberstein, their
trade probably would not be so great
as it is The gray agate is the origi-
nal color of the chalcedony. 1t Is
porous, aud the heated waters run in
and around until the agate is filled up;
occasionally there are layers of white
entirely impervious to coloring matter.
BY giving to gray agate some colorlng
matter an agate or onyx of two or
three colors may be obtained. The
black is the result of staining the gray
agate by fiji boiling in sugar and wa
ter or blood and water or any
other carbonaceous substance and
then carbonizing it by dipping it in
sulphuric acid The entire world is
supplied with agates from this source.

FORT HAWKINS NOW A BARN.

How Tecumssh Once Caused NJ to he
Attacked by suPerstitious Indians.
A few days ago Ben J.. Jones con
verified the old fort built IN 1906 at
Fort Hawkins into a barn. Although
the old log structure has stood the
storm of shot aud shell and has been
exposed ~ all the varying changes OF
weather since that early period, not an
unsound timber is to Ice seen in IT to-
dav. The logs Of which it is con
structed are as solid and sound as they
we're at first The fort was made OF
Georgia heart pine, and today II would
burn like rosin il match were stuck
to a ragged end.
The structure was built AS govern
ment trading post or factory, where
deer skins were purchased from the
Indians. During the Creek war, from
1872 to 1914 il was a rendezvous and
distributing point for the United States
soldiers, and Major Phil Cook was i'll
command. Anticipating the dangers
from the torch of the treacherous red
man, the whites built the fort on a
high stone foundation, the floor of the
wooden structure extending beyond
the rock walls. Portfolios were made
in the extended floor so as to shoot
Indians who might try TO scale
the walls To set fire to the woodwork.
During the famous Creek war in
cited by Tecumseh and his brother,
who was known as the Prophet, tins
building was in the centre of the ter
ritory attacked. Tecumseh was enc OF
the most eloquent of Indians, and
when the war was begun between Great
Britain and the United States he COM
municated with the tribes, from Florida
to Canada, advising them that then
was the time for the Indians to reclaim
their lands from the whites. He read
in m Eastern paper that comet would
appear in the sky at a given time. So
he notified the Indians that when his
arrow appeared in the heavens itwould
be sign for them to attack the whites.
Old Fort Hawkins perhaps was more
vigorously attacked in pursuance OF
this order than was any other IN the
country.
The fort received its name from the

At Queen Nictoria's latest drawing
room, the Duchess Of Marlborough
wore more jewels than any one pres.
ent. Her tall diamond crown and the
necklace of famous Vanderbilt pearls
caused great sensation. The coach
in which the American duchess drove
TO the palace is said to have eclipsed
all the equipages that were in line.
Its body was of deep red, and il was
adorned, in addition to the ducal coat
of arms, with princely coronet, as
the Duke of Marlborough is prince
of the Roman empire-at title inherited
from his great ancestors services to
England's German allies. There were
three footmen behind the coach, who
wore red liveries covered with gold,
specially embroidered by Italian work
men.
An amusing story in connection
with these red liveries is going the
rounds of London society. 1t seems
that the young duke was determined
to have the particular shade of red
which is confined to royal use, and it
was only because the tailors stead
lastly refused to make the liveries i'll
that color that he was obliged to ac-
cept the shade that has been used by
his ancestors.
In spite of-or perhaps because of
all this magnificence, we are told
that the Duchess of Marlborough re-
fuses to subscribe to the fund for
maintaining five American beds in the
leading London hospitals on the
ground that she is no longer an Amer

he is an invalid but he does anticipate
much benefit from the trip. and he hopes
to return to his duties greatly refreshed
