Discouraging Outlook for Miners.

The condition of affairs at the mines
in Upper Luzerne remains in about the
same unsettled predicament. A large
force of men are at work at the Not

three nests of high pressure boilers,
which are needed, to keep steam for
the pumps which are going inside The
pumps. which have a capacity of $500
gallons per minute, have arrived and
are being put together.
Appearances would indicate long
siege of dleness at the Woodward. The
mules were sent on Wednesday to Scran-
ton. The threatened cave still con
tinues to work and a final settlement APP
pears very remote.
At the Avondale nothing whatever is
beiug done. All hands except few
bosses and the outside engineers and
watchmen were suspended. The men
received their pay last week and expect
it to be their last for some time to come
AT the Pettebone the usual heroic
efforts are being put forth to keep the
rush of quicksand from running the shaft.
The men are meeting with much success
and anticipate a complete mastery of
the situation in short time.
The ruins of the Maltby breaker are
being cartcd away as rapidly as possible.
Men and teams are constantly at work

But perhaps the incest toy of all
made in this shop, which has for its
sign 'Old corks taken in exchange
for new play things" is the set of par
lor croquet. To begin this heavy but
fruitful labor cut out eighteen small
squares of cork. Bend into curved
hoop-a miniature of those used in
lawn croquet-nine hairpins and
these, with each end stuck into one of
the small squares of cork, will stand
upright and serve as table wickets for
the game. Cut slices crossways from
the vinegar bottle cork, and into thu
middle of each of these stick match,
whose end has been sharpened for the
purpose. This can be painted around
with rings of contrasting colors, as is
done to the goal stakes of lawn GRO
quet.
Next, for the mallets hunt about in
the cork box for four small ones of
even size-those from the small medl-
cine walls serve nicely if they have not
been stained by drugs. These. if
nice shape, need no cutting at ali.
Matches will serve as handles for these
mallets, and o band of color must be
painted around each, SO that players
may distinguish their own mallets.
Some nice, large, old sugar coated
pills would make beautiful balls for
this nursery croquet, with stripe OF
paint around each one.

An Indian Legend.

The mystery surrounding the origin
of the Indian race is greatly enhanced
by listening to some of the quaint lie.
gends. Here is one of them, related
by the older men of the Mojave tribe:
"At the time of the Mojave, the white
man, the negro and all other people
lived together with their god, Mule.
velia, whose mother was the earth and
whose father the heaven.
'They were all supplied with food,
clothing and many luxuries. Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of
implements and machinery to work
with.
Everything was manufactured, and
especially matches.
"One day Mulevlia died, and all the
people, excepting the Mojaves, fled,
after looting the camps of everything
they cotfld lay their hands on, not even
leavinGea match.
Here was a pretty state of affairs,
and the dead god awaiting cremation!
"There seemed to be no other alter.
native than to dispatch a messenger
for a spark from one of the brilliant
luminaries of the upper region, and a
coyote was sent to star for some fire.
after a long time he returned with.
out success and so hungry that he tried
to eat up the dead god.
"Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together and produced
fire, which they used in burning up
Mulevelia.
"After the cremation, which took
place somewhere near Fort Mojave, the
mountains at the foot of the canyon
parted, and the Colorado flowed
through and swept the ashes away.
"Mastonho now became chief and di.
vided the Indians into tribes and gave
them their allotments of land."-Los

broidered mousseline.
With this stylish visiting toilette is

a soft draped crown; at the back is

is ornamented by bird of paradise
and large rosettes. The waist is
mounted upon a glove.titted lining

double bust darts, and closing in the
centre with hooks and eyes beneath
the full vest, the closing of which is
lnvisibly effected on the left side be-
meath the bolero, but can be made to

The back of the waist fits smoothly

to droop in soft blouse effect over the
deep crushed girdle that encircles the
waist, and is carried to the front,
closing below the bust line and finish

that is prettily bowed at the centre

be popular, is adapted to wide range

can cut them down, and that the State
is still supplied with an abundance OF

siders have gone to Maine to hunt
since September 10Th last. and of these
800 have succeeded in getting caribou,
1000 have killed moose and about IS, +.
600 have gone home with one or more
deer each. In addition to the above
about 100 bears, $50 bobcats and loop.
cerviers and an unaccountable number
of ruffed grouse and hares have been

UTILIZING OLD CORKS.
Some Interesting Things Can BE
Made by Boys and Girls.

If there's box of old corks in the
pantry the boy or girl, with jack
knife, can make whole set of furni-
ture and many other interesting things
out of them.
All the tools and materials ne ecessarv v
are very sharp knife, a box of
matches, bottle of thick mucllage,
water.color paints. few old calling
cards, hairpin or two, pair of stout
scissors, with sharp points, and the
pin-cushion. With these and the
corks you can find great deal of in
terestIng amusement.
Perhaps the best thing to begin
with is the cork out of the mustard
pot, which is large and fiat. Snip the
sulphur, heads off of four matches,
leaving them square at the ends.
Sharpen the other ends little, make
four holes with the penknife in the
under side of the cork and stick the
pointed ends of the matches into these.
Cut out circle of visiting card
comewhat larger than the mustard
cork, paste it on top of the cork and
there stands beautiful piece of nurse
ry carpentry, table all complete. A
small, square bit of cork, with four
short bits of matches used as legs,
makes good stool; and by taking
the cork that once served to stop the
mouth of O little glass jam jar and
