The Art of Bow Tying.

The art of bow tying is taught to
young women, who like always to be
smartly trimmed with correct bows at
the neck and belt. Even the bow for trc
hair has a different tie from the bow Mt
the slipper, and the waistband has Il
knot entirely unlike that at the throat
To know the difference is one of the
arts of bow tying. The next is to be
able to tie.
A bow of orange velvet of the new
shade, capucine, is valuable adjunct
for somber dress. Upon n light one 1t
becomes positively brilliant, beautiful
decoration for dinner. For such bow
and its belt there must be a crush OF
velvet to go around the waist snugiy.
This must be crinolined to set like a
girdle, and to it must be sewed the bow
of velvet. Each separate loop is lined
and stiffened, and the ends have sharp
pieces of stiffening set in. The whole is
brought under Il small knot. A bow,
carefully made like this, withstands a
great deal ,t hard usage, and If it If
lined with taffeta instead of with velvet
it is not too bulky thing to be worn
under a coat

tant pieces of general legislation to be

in the effort to secure consideration and
a possibility that this clash may develop
an interesting situation.

A STORY OF LoNGFELLOW.

Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anecdote
of the Author.
Speaking Of Longfellow, in her vol.
ume of literary "reminiscences, Mrs
Jane ]. Fields says:
His kindness and loYe of humor car.
ried him through m any tedious inter
ruption. He generously overlooked the
fact Of the subterfuges to which men
and women resorted in order to get an
interview, and, to help them out, made
as much Of their excuses as possible.
Speaking one day of the persons who
came to see him at Nahant, he said
One man, a perfect stranger, came with
an omnibus full of ladies. He descend
ed, introduced himself then, returning
to the omnibus, took out all the ladies,
one, two, three, four and five, with a
little girl, and brought them in. I en-
tertained them to the best of my ability,
and they staid all hour. They had scarce
~ gone when a forlorn woman in black
came up to me on the piazza and asked
for dipper of water. Certainly
replied, and went to fetch her glass.
When I brought it, she said: There is
another woman just by the fence who is
tired and thirsty. will carry this to
her. But she struck her head as she
passed through the window aud spilled
the water on the piazza oh, what
have done!' she said. eff I had q
aoor cloth, I would wipe it up. ooh.
no matter about the water, = said, ''if
you have not hurt yourself. = Then
went and brought more water for them
both and sent them on their way re-
freshed and rejoicing.
It would be both an endless and un-
profitable task to recall more Of the Gu
rious experiences which popularity
brought down upon him: There is a
passage among Mr.. Fields notes, how
ever, in which he describes an incident
during Longfel lows last visit to Eng
land which should not be overlooked.
Upon his arrival the queen sent grace.
full message and invited him to Windsor
castle, w here she received him with all
Che honors, but he told me no foreign
tribute touched him deeper than the
words Of an English hod carrier who
came up tosthe carriage door at Harrow
and asked permission to take the hand

RAPPIN 6 Il oWs,

y y Not an Easy Matter to Net the WHY
81 Birds. -
Crows are trapped and sold to sports
men for shooting matches, usually bring
ing $40 per 100, but, like other things.
when scarce they bring more. &.
0 e Is no simple matter to trap crows.
Tor the crow is q willy bird, and to catch
him IN y net set for that purpose re-
squires skill, and patience as we'll, but
the hunger of the crow is always the
trapper's greatest aid. One man alone
would make but little Roadway catching
crows and would probably sit all day in
his little bough house feady to spring
his net, but the crows would give his
bait . wide berth because they would
know that he was there.
After placing the carcass Of some ami
NAL on field the net is set close to it
BY bending poles Of saplings, on which
the net is hung fiat to the ground, where
they are held down by triggerlike pegs,
and line run SO yards or more to q
house built of boughs, where the trap
per is secreted !, s
Another carcass is usually laid some
hundreds Of yards distant on the same
or another field, where there is no net
set. The trappers, usually two in num-
Der, go into the bough house together
before day Wight, and when the crows be-
gin to assemble on the fields one of them
goes out and walks away. The crows,
seeing him leave, grow little holder
and approach the bait in ones and twos,
but stop only long enough to get beak-
full Of the flesh and fly off again. The
carcass where there is no net set is of
course the best patronized, but the trap
per on the outside makes it his business
to walk near enough to that to keep the
crows from settling on it in numbers
and thus satisfying their hunger with
out going to, the one where the net is.
After awhile their hunger gets the bet
ter of their Judgment or their fear, and
they gather on the carcass where the
net is. This is the opportunity Of the
man in the bough house, who, with a
vigorous pull on the line, springs the
net over them. Quick work must be
done then by the trappers, who rush up
to the net. to keep the trapped crows
from crawling out at the ends and the
front, where it is not staked fast to the
ground. With their hands covered with
stout buckskin gloves, to keep the crows
from biting and scratching them, the
captured birds are put in bags ready to
be carried off the field. From 40 to 60
are frequently caught at one pull, but it
is rare thing to get more than two
springs of the net in one day. -Phila

THE Western Mining World says. The copper production for the first three months of this year on the whole is very fiattering and satis- factory. During January 17,637 long tons was the output. For February it was 16,819, and for March the production was 18,273. This shows a total for the three months of 52,739, while for the same period of 1896 the total out put was but 51,510. The exports of copper from the United States for the same period this year amount-to g, ,739 tons, while that of 1896 amounted to 27,356 tons.

 The death Of Represantaaves liiI!ikan recalls the fact that 10 member of the Maine Congressional delegation died in office before Mr. Millihen. since 1883, when Repres- ontative Jonathan ?. Cilley, of Maine, was shot dead by Repres- entative Graves, of Kentucky, with whom he fought duel.
 Senator Allison, who is 3 mem~ Der of the subcommittee engaged in going over the Dingly bill be- fore it is reported to the full Fl- nance Con1mittee-by the way, this subcommittee is pot taking any holiday eitheir night or day this week-gave a caller a good idea of the manner in which the work of revision is being done, when he said: "Here is a letter from a manufacturer of blacking. How many ingredients do you suppose Ithere are that enter into it's man. ufactureP We'll, more than a dozen. Some of these ingredients have been transferred from the free to the dutiable list. Some have had the rates increased and some decreased. Each article has a direct bearing on this mans busi- ness. He writes us that blacking is sold in package of a certain size, which cannot we'll be varied; also that most of the blacking IS inn ported from France, and that the industry in this country is in its infancy, but is making fair progress. If we retain the House rates on certain ingredients he mentions, he asks that we also make a small increase on blacking and suggests that 1t will be easier to do this than to change the rates on the dozen articles which enter into his product. His request does not seem unreasonable. does it, if the facts are as he states? We'll, we have looked into the rates on every one of the ingredients mentioned ard their bearing on his product, ard find his statement correct. That Is the way we are doing our work on the tariff bill, and think 1t is better than to do this man an injustice and possibly give his busi- ness to the French manufacturers" The subcommittee expect to com plete its work en the bill this week, and it IS hoped that the bill can be reported to the Senate next week.

OUR MINES.

There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth, more rich in rcineral wealth than the county of Yuma. All the country north, east, and south of Yuma lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. From tte San Bernardino Mountains in California to the Sonora boundary line the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demonstrating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds ofextinct oceans. The great Colorado desert was once an inland sea, cut off centurles and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean, leaving it's waters to evap- otate in this intense heat. Through out all the country bordering the desert, including this section, rich mines are being constantly discov- cred, and some of recent location are already producing immense profits. In the neighborhood of Yuma, claims exceedingly rich On the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend a great min ing boom for this county which will culminate as early as the com ing fall in an inroad of much capital. Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than heavy prices. It seems wonderful to believe that all this mineral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without a taker, but the tendency of prospectors is to go long dis tance off into strange lands rather than to seek for mines in county as old as Yuma County and so &C., cessible. The greater the distance, the hardship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the pros pector. Distance seems, indeed, to lend entertainment to the view.
 So tis that this county is almost virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its mountains its min eral secrets arestill in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousands might be wandering through the rock ribbed fastnesses of our noun tain ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent of country.
 Recent rich discoveries of gold deposits, particularly in lodges, have given great impetus to min- ing throughout the county.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Corrssrondent.)


 WAsHINGToN, A3ril 26th, 1897,
 Washington i5a'9 dedicating the Grant Monuraent, but 1t is sending over to New York some of the most prominent persons who will take part in or view the Gedicatory ceremonies. President Mckinley and his cabinet, the diplomatic corps. the Supreme Court, Mrs. Grant and members Of the Grant family, and a delegation of prom inent Army and Navy officers and their families went on one special train today. The Senate and House Committees, which go az the official representatives of the ieg- islative branch of the Government went on regular trains and to suit individual convenience, but the members will meet and remain to- gether during the ceremonies. Many other Senators and Repres- entatives have also gone, as it was agreed beforehand that no business whatever should be transacted at the meetings of the House and Senate today, and those to be held on Thursday, they being held merely to comply with the con- stitutional requirement as to the length of time that either branch of Congress may adjourn without the adoption of a concurrent re- solution.
 It is expected that President Me- Kinley will shortly modify tbe civil service rules. He has had an extended conference with the Civil Service Commission. Secretary Wilson stated before the Senate subcommittee, which is investigat- ing the workings of the civil service law and rules, that the present rules hampered him in selecting efficient scientific subordinates, and in a written communication, Sec retary Gage expressed the opinion that a modification of the rules would be beneficial to hls depart ment.
 Representative Dorr, of West Virginia, has introduced a bill for the outright repeal of the civil service laws, and he declares his intention to to everything he pos sibly can to get the bill acted upon.
 Nothing could better illustrate President McKinley's idea of the relations that should exist between the Federal administration and the pubic than the official announce ment of the selection of Judge Wm. R. Day, of Canton, Ohio, to be First Asst. Secretary of State, and Ex-Representative Bellamy Storer, of Ohlo, to be U. s. minister to Belgium, three days before their nominations were sent to the Senate. President Mckinley believes that as soon as anything has been de- termined upon, the people have a right to be informed of it, and acts accordingly.
 Secretary Wilson IS much pleas ed with the reception of his effort to increase the culture of sugar heets in those sections of the coun- try where the climate and soil seems to indicate success with this crop. So great has been the de- mand for the seeds that the large supply contracted for by Secretary Wilson when he first took charge
