SEA WATER OF MANY COLORS.

On a bright, sunny day visitors are often puzzled at the numerous colors visible on the surface of the sea. There will, perhaps, be some four or five streaks of green, blue, black and so forth, making the water ap- pear as though it were painted in color stripes of mathematical precis- ion.
 To the initiated these several stripes have their meaning. They are nearly all produced by the character of the ocean bed, and as a rule are only seen in close proximity to land.
 If you see a deep blue or green patch, you may label it deep water, the blue usually being deeper than the green. A yellowish tint signifies a sandy bottom, and, if it is very pro- nounced, indicates a shoal or sand bank.
 Black indicates rocks, although seaweed or cloud shadows will some times produce a similar effect
 On the east coast it is no uncom- mon thing to see a paLch of bright red where the sun has reflected the color of the deep brown sand on the surface
 Where the bottom is muddy, as on the Essex coast, a streak of bright silver gray is often seen.
 Many people who cannot claim in timacy with the sea imagine these colors are in the sea water itself, whereas it's intrinsic tint is bluish green,-Answers.

Berne, Switzerland, Dec. S.-The
auction of penitence," an event unique
in the religious life of southern Switz-
erland and one that always marks the
near approach of the Christmas holt
days, is to occur soon. The scene of
this observance is one of picturesque
splendor. Lago Maggiore stretches
it's 81 miles of placid length just be-
tween the little republic and the king
dom of Humbert, and It's green border
is dotted with the prettiest of old
fashioned villages, the southern tier,

stately expanse of water changes it's

Typical Scenes at the Observance.

Maggie valley, that the quaint observ-
ance takes place again this year, as it
has for centuries. In fact, its first
celebration is lost in the mists of ira
dition. The story is that once upon a
time in the dark past the black plague
coursed it's fatal way through the
southern valleys, and was approaching
Cevio, threatening also the towns be-
yond in the canton of Ticino. A
mighty prayer went up from the places
not yet stricken, and a mighty vow
was registered. 1t was in substance
a promise that should the plague be
kept below Cevio, these penitents, their
children and their children's children
even to the last generation would keep
holy the day of deliverance.
And the vow has been kept. Each
year about this time the auction of
penitence begins with the march of the
yelled women. These, clothed in
white, their heads almost covered, car
ry in procession picture OF Mother
Mary. They have, however, all
brought with them to the church some
trife to be sold in the auction of peni-
tence.
Immediately after the procession has
wound it's ghostly way twice about the
church and as many times about the
cemetery, the white garments are laid
aside and the women appear in their
holiday attire. There Is nothing pc

But the auction of Cevio is what at
tracts the visitor. The great bundles
of gills are piled high before the
church wardens, who take their turns
in selling. The proceeds go to the
poor, and the sums realized are al
times very large. Among the gifts
are great masses of richly decorated
and finely woven baskets, for that Is
one OF the most notable OF the indus

THE ART OF DARNING +.
How the Prosaic Occupation Can be
Made Genuinely Aesthetic.

The proper darning of a rent in
cloth is an art that cannot be easily
picked up and should be taught to
girls as an essential part of their
practical home training. The expert
darner of wooden cloth will make
rent practically invisible by weaving
together torn edges, matching them
as carefully as possible, and after
wards pressing the rent. A fine sew
ing silk is used to darn wooden cloth
in preference to any wool, which
would not be strong enough unless
the thread or raveling was too coarse.
Where the cloth is thick enough, en-
deavor to conceal the silk thread be-
tween the face and the back OF the
cloth. Begin about half an inch
from the edge of one side of the tear,
and run the needle the same distance
from the other edge, concealing the
thread carefully and drawing the
edges closely together, but not so that
they overlap. If there is any nap on
tie cloth, brush it back while you are
daring and then brush it down again.
Lay damp cotton cloth on the wrong
side of the cloth, over the darn, and
press it down once, then remove the
cotton cloth and press next the WOOL
en- surface, being careful that you do
not press it perfectly dry, but that a
very little steam arises after the iron
is removed If the cloth is pressed
perfectly dry the work of the iron will
be shown on the right side. A piece
of cloth is usually darned with yer-
tical and diagonal stitches, running
with the threads of the cloth. The
"up and-down" thread is usually the
strongest way of mending a bias
darn. Use no piece of cloth under
the darning unless the material
darned is thin. In that case piece
of silk OF the same color is less clumsy
as backing to darn wool, unless the
wool Is sheer.
Tablecloths genrally wear out first
in the folds. 1t Is true that these
are not always made in the same
place, even by the same 1aundress,
but they generally are. and there Is
invariably one in the center. BY cut
ting of a few inches from one end
and one side, all the folds will De

fought shy of TIE subject in lis pat
form, but put up a ticket Of distinctly
Bryanite composition, and the late can
yass showed very plainly that without
the spirit Of Organism TO give it inn

followed the same course. 1T also kept
quiet so far as concerned any formal
declaration Of Organism, but it nomin-
ated for its candidate for the only State
office in the election, that of chief jus
tice of the court of appeals, n man who
sought support by announcing promptly
that he had voted for Bryan last year
What has been the result? Tammany

the Bryanite is elected chief justice OF

here Monday, His Honor Judge Adams,
presiding. The criminal docket is light,
there being no cases or Importance for
trial.
Yesterday Senator Butler addressed
the people. He was introduced by Co.'s
gresham Kitchin. For more than two
hours the Senator discussed the issues
of the day. He attacked the Democrats,
Republicans and boiling populists, or
"Biack-leg Populists," as he characterize
ed them. for defeating the bin to
annul the North Carolina Railroad lease,
asserting that the defeat took $2.300,000
out of the pockets of the people and put
it in the pockets of the corporations.
He denounced the goldbug papers for
yelling for white supremacy, crying
''rape," and using such means to excite
class prejudice in order to prevent the
people from becoming united on the vital
question of the day. Right here the
Senator undertook to explain his recent
utterance at Rocky Mount He said
that it was not necessary that he should
denounce the report as Il lie out of the
occasion that any man who would en-
deavor to set the white man against the
black by raising the cry of rape in or
der to side-track the people was none
to good to procure such crimes to be
commi ted. The Senator eulogized Gov
ernor Russell, saying no man since
Vance had ever been more with the peo-
pie in their fight against trusts than
Governor Russell. The Senator stated
that he had been asked while N Rox-
boro what the PopuistS would do
about fusion" in the next campaign.
The Senator would not presume to speak
for his party, but he would quickly tell
his own views on the subject. He talk
ed for some time on this subject. but
your correspondent listened in vain for
the Senator's own position on this Ques-
ton. A number of Populists were out
and expressed themselves as pleased with
the Senator's speech, but his entire eff
fort elici.ed but little applause from any
