How vnimbles Are Made.

Dies of the different sizes are used,
into which the metal, whether gold,
silver or steel, is pressed. The hole
punching, finishing, polishing and tenn
pering are done afterward. Celluloid
and rubber are nodded. The best Thin
bles are made in France, where the
process is more thorough. The first step
in the making CT Paris thimble is the
cutting into "a disk of the desired size a
thin piece Of sheet iron. This is brought
to a red heat, placed over a graduated
hole in an iron bench and hammered
down into it with punch. This hole
is in the form Of thimble. The iron
takes its shape and is removed from
the hole. The little fluctuations to keep
the needle from slipping are made in it
and all the other finishing strokes Of
the perfect thimble put Oh it. The iron
is then made into steel by process
peculiar 10 the French thimble maker
and is tempered, polished and brought
TO deep blue color. A thin sheet of
gold is then pressed into the interior
Of the thimble and fastened there by a
mandrel Gold leaf is attached to tho
outside by great pressure, the edges Of
the leaf being fitted in and held by
small grooves at the base of the Thin
BILE. The article is then ready for use.
The gold will last for years. The steel
never wears out, and the gold can be
readily replaced at airy time. Dry

A Moslem Solomon.

Readers of the arabian Nights"
are familiar with the manner in which
the cadis dispensed justice with more
regard to equity than to law, and it
seems that instances of the same kind
are of modern occurrence. An example
is given in Golden Days:
Not long ago Turk, while repairing
roof. fell into the street upon "a
wealthy old man, who was killed.
without any serious damage to the
workman. The son Of the deceased
caused the workman to be arrested and
taken before the cadi, with whom he
used all his influence To have the poor
man condemned, and, though the inno-
cence of the laborer was clearly estab-
lished, nothing could pacify the son
but the law of retaliation.
The cadi stroked his beard and then
gravely decreed that the workman
should be placed exactly upon the spot
where the old man had stood.
Now" said he TO the son, "you
will 20 on the roof of the house, fall
down upon this man and kill him if
you can. y
OF course the son declined to do any
thing of the sort, and the case was dis
missed

of the richest and most effective trim
mings is the applique of broadcloth
stitched on 1t is generally of darker
shade than the gown. One very stylish
gown of brown and white shepherd s
check had brown cloth straps reaching
over the shoulders to points in front
and back.
In trimming there are braids Of every
possible design and kind, from the mar
rowest soutache to four inch mohair
These are often seen in graduated
widths on skirt to resemble the design
Of bayadere stripes. These last are not
so far as popular as il was hoped they
would be, the preference being just now
for braiding in fancy patterns and
ruffles, also wide founces and moss
fringe trimming This is set on in
shawl points. Tablier fronts Of contrast
ing color and material are often seen,
and latticework made Of braid or mar
row ribbon is frequently made to cover
nearly the entire gown, blouse and
basque.
The new colors are exceptionally bril-
liant Among them the most striking
are myosotis blue, corn, buttercup,
orange, brahman, chrysanthemum and
girohe in different yellow shades, tur-
key rcd, solferino, bois de rose, roi,
geranium, burned rose, fuchsia and ma
genta in red shades. In blues the newest
is peacock ia two shades and chevalier,
very like cadet. In green's there is every
shade known, and also in browns and
all the light drab shades. Bluet is also
among the new things, and so is azure

in one letter.
The beautiful new velutinas are pro-
duccd in all these colors and tints and

shapes. In the corded varieties they
will be made into full street costumes

they will have nothing but three large
smoke pearl buttons. The corded velu-
tinas in dust colors will be employed
for cycling, as the material is so durable

Ceremonial Law.

In his lecture on Primitive Religious
Expression" Professor ID. G. Brinton says
that ceremonial law is found to exist In
every tribe and is obeyed with surprising
punctuality. 1t is often absurd and ridicu-
lous, but is obeyed just the same Among
certain tribes it is against this law to roast
a pig, only boiling of that animal being
allowed. With other tribes no fuel from
two different species Of trees may be used
for the same fire. and In Kamchatka u
certain tribe has n ceremonial law which
prohibits the scraping of snow from the
boots with metal knife and another law
which threatens with boils any one who
kills very young duck. 1t is believed
that punishment for the infraction of any
of these laws falls not upon the individual,
but upon bis tribe. Darwin found very
little religion among the Patagonians, but
the severest ceremonial laws In vogue.

TECUMSEH AND THE COMET.
He Told the Indians 1t Was His "Arrow
In Heaven"

Ben H. Jones has converted the old fort
built in 1906 at Fort Hawkins into barn
Although the old log structure has stood
the storm OF shot and shell and has been
exposed to all the varying changes of
weather since that early period, not an I'M
sound timber Is to be seen in Ii today.
The logs of which il is constructed are as
solid and sound as they were at first. The
fort was made of Georgia heart pine, and
today it would burn like rosin if match
were stuck to ragged end.
The structure was built as government
trading post or factory, where deerskins
were purchased from tho Indians During
the Creek war, from 1912 to 1914, it was
rendezvous and distributing point for the
United States soldiers, and Major Phil
Cook was In command Anticipating the
dangers from the torch of the treacherous
red man, the whites built the fort on
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 Greek war incident
| by Tecumseh and his brother, who was
known us the prophet, this building was
| III bno CcUter VI inc JerrltOry
/ Tecumseh was one of the most eloquent of
| Indians, and when the war was begun be-
tween Great Britain and the United States
| he communicated with the tribes from
| Florida to Canada, advising them that
then was the time for the Indians to re-
claim their lands from the whites. He
read in an 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 it would be
a sign for them to attack the whites. Old
Fort Hawkins perhaps was more vigor-
ously attacked in pursuance of this order
than was any other in the country.
The fort received its name from Hon.
Benjamin Hawkins, senator from North
Carolina, who had been appointed COM
missioner to Georgia to draw up treaty
| with the Greek Indians.
The building which Mr.. Jones convert
ed into barn is historical curiosity, and
interesting volumes might be written
J about the scenes and tragedies that have
taken place around it.-Macon Telegraph.

Fog and Gaslight.

According to the statement of Pro-
fessor Lewes, a London fog deprives coal
gas of l. per cent of its Illuminating
power, but this is not so astonishing as
is the fact that, under similar circum-
stances, the searching light of an in
candescent burner loses as much as 90. 8
of its efficacy. The reason given by Pro-
fessor Lewes for this phenomenon is
that the spectrum of both the incandes-
cent and the electric light approaches
very nearly that of the solar spectrum,
being very rich in the violet and ultra
violet rays. 1t is precisely these rays
which cannot make their way through
London fog. TO this is attributed the
fact that the sun looks red on foggy
day The violet rays are absorbed by
the solid particles floating in the aque-
Gus vapor of the atmosphere, and only
the red portions of the spectrum get
through. The interesting additional
statement is made in this connection
that the old argand burner is much
more successful in resisting London
fog than any of its later rivals.

The Head of the Table.

In the article on the Glengarry branch
of the Macdonalds James Logan, in his

says:
"A the castle of Aros the lords of tho
isles held their parliament and passed the

which important rights were conveyed by
these princes may be illustrated by the

"Rnnk OF Mormon"

The "Book of Mormon" has been proved
to be literary plagiarism, being "A free para
phrase of romance written by the Rev.
Solomon Spalding, in 1916, the manu-
script of which came into the possession
of Joseph Smith, and he, sitting behind u
curtain, dictated IL to Oliver Cowdery,
who, seated out of sight of the reader,
wrote the matter as it was given him.
Smith pretended that the book was discov-
cred to him by revelation and dug up from
the side of hill not far from Palmyra, in
the county of Ontario, n. Y. The claim
was made by Smith that the writing on
the plates was engraved in reformed
Egyptian" which he was unable to read
until magic spectacles, which he called his
Urim and Thummim, were given to him,
enabling him both to read and translate
into English. The spectacles and the
metal plates have disappeared, and the
story of the dictation makes tolerably clear
the manner in which the Book of Nor
mon" had its origin.

There came to our hearts cherub fair
With eyes of blue and soft golden hair.
Her dimpled form and her oval face

And our hearts, enriched by wealth Of love.

In the place called heaven, beyond the blue.
The land of rest for the good and true.
For home made glad by innocent mirth
Is the brightest spot on Gods green earth.
