Tho White PobhIe PIT

II has frequently happened that min
ers have discovered curious traces Of
former workings, hundreds OF years
ago, and tools have been found which
belonged 10 the ancient miners, and
many other relies,
A singular discovery WAS made,
few years since, by some workmen en-.
gagged In the Spanish silver mine known
as the White Pebble Pit, While dig
g!ng their subterauean passages they
suddenly found a series Of apartments,
In which were a quantity Of mining
tools, left there from a very remote
period, but still IN such good preserva-
ton that there were hatchets, and
sleeves for sitting the ore, smelling
furnace, and two anyils, which proved
the earliest miners had great expert
ence in their operations,
In one Of the cayerns there was
round building, with inches, in which
were three statues, one sitting down,
and half the size Of life; the other two
were IN a standing position and about
three feet IN height This building is
supposed to have been the temple Of
the god who was believed, in pagan
times, to preside over mines. Several
objects OF art, and some remarkable
instruments, were also found, which
have led scientific persons to think that
the workings might have been made
by the phoenlclans, the people who, as
Is well known, were in the time Of Sol
omon famous for their manufacturing
and commercial genius.
In 1854 a discovery was made by
some miners eXcayating on the other
side Of the mountain on which the
White Pebble Pit IS situated; this was
fine figure OF the heather god Her
rules, which was found in an old work.

In digging for copper on the shores
Of Lake Superior, in this country, the
miners have made many similar dis.
coveries, showing that the mines were
worked ages ago.

INST Diamond,

A Glasgow lady has had a singular
experience. About the beginning of No
vember she had paid hurried visit to
her business premises, and while there
lost the diamond from a favorite ring.
Search was made everywhere for the
precious stone. The shop was given
an extra sweep, the dust placed in a
hair" sieve and washed. but not a
trace of the lost jewel was got. Con-
Guiding that the diamond was gone
for good, the ring was reset and the
loss was almost forgotten, when the
owners daughter who had accompa-
MED her to the snop on the occasion,
remarked: Mother, there's something
in the heel Of my right boot which
catches the carpet every step I take. -
See what it is" was the reply. and
there firmly imbedded in the solid lea
Their was the missing diamond. Sin
gularly enough. during the past two
months the young lady has been in the
country and walked over the hard ma
cadamized roads. Diamond, in no way
injured. and bootheel are to join the

FASHION NOTES

The softest shades OF tan are cor
rect for gloves now that we have SO
much color in our gowns.
Russian belts of gun silver, either
plain or gilded and jewelled, are
novelty in dress ornamentation.
Jewelled oxidized buckles and sill
yer buckles set with turquoise are
very popular as we'll as all the varie-
ties of Russian enamel.
There is a perfect Juror for accor-
dion-plaited ruffles for the neck, bod
ice and sleeves, and also for the en-
tire decoration of evening toilets
The boleros popularity might have
been expected by this time to be on
the decrease, but on the contrary 1t
grows, and almost every week sees
a new form of the tiny jacket. 1t
inspires writer on fashions to the
following flight: "A plain dress with
the addition of bolero is like plain
woman with charming smile.
Deep yellow leather, with gold trim
mings, has succeeded vivid green for
nurses and card cases and all sorts Of
new designs are beginning to arrive
for leather belts and girdles, Narrow
belt buckles have very effective Rus
sian jewel work.
The English tailor-made coat has no
gathers at the top of the sleeve. 1t
has a little fulness, which is arranged
in small dart seams covered with fam
CIV braiding. Many of the coats are
deliberately braided, and several dill
ferent kinds OF braid are used on one

A CRUSADE AGAINST THE COR
SET.

If Queen Amelia of Portugal sue
ceeds in bringing about the salutary
reform which is now occupying the
mind of her royal highness, she will
be entitled to the lasting gratitude of
her sex.
The queen is uncompromisingly OPP
posed to the barbarous custom of
tight lacing, and in order to eliminate
it from the kingdom, she has wisely
started the reform movement in her
own court. OF course, the movement
created some little opposition at first
on the part of her court ladies, but
with stearn reasoning adroitly min
gled with affectionate entreaty, she
finally persuaded them to submit to a
scientific experiment. At this juno
ton the X ray was brought into re-
QUESTION and chest photographs taken
of each member of her retinue. AS
soon as the Mortified ladies beheld the
distorted condition of their bodies
which the X ray, with pitiless fidelity,
had disclosed, they Immediately sur
rendered all scruples on the subject OF
tight lacing and pledged their hearty
support to the queen.
With a beginning so suspicious as
this, the queen is bound to succeed in
her crusade against the corset, so far
at least as her own kingdom is con-
cerned 1t is safe to predict, however,
that if Portugal discards this relic OF
barbarism other nations will do like
wise. Even in this country there has
been for years strong sentiment
against tight lacing, and though 1t
has not as yet assumed the proper
lions of a crusade, the vigorous stand
which Queen Amelia has taken may
serve as a spur to arouse popular in
terest in the subject once more. The
corset is doomed and must go!-At-
lanta Constitution.

FLOWERS VERY FASHIONABLE


Never have flowers been more beau
tiful, especially as to color. Roses
lead, and geraniums, peoples, and hya-
cinths follow very closely in favor:
Tiolets are used in masses on some
hats; and the lily of the valley is, of
course, also en- evidence. In fact, the
coming season will be a perfect fete of
flowers; they are on everything, and
rome hats are composed entirely of
what seems like a glowing flower gar
den. Imagine a hat with a thick
edge of hyacinths shading from light
TO dark lavender; underneath, the mar
row brim is entirely covered with pal
est green roses in two shades; and an
immense bunch of lilies of the valley
covers the crown and forms the high
side trimming Added to these was
