FINAL PROOF OF OWNERSHIP.

In an Eastern county court the Judge
was in quandary the other day. A
coat was in dispute. The parties were
Irish and the evidence was direct and
positive for both claimants. After
much wrangling. Patrick Peters, one
of the parties, proposed that he and his
opponent, Timothy Mcguire, should see
whose name was on the coat. Tim
othy searched in vain and the coat
was handed to Pat, who Immediately
took his knife, opened a corner of the
collar of the coat, and out dropped
two small peas.
"a dale it as to do wild It'll It Is my
name, to be sure-pea for Patrick and
pea for Peters, be jabers!"
He got the coat after that.
A snail farm has been started by a
farmer of Anet, France. He has already
200 900 of these interesting creatures. and
they eat as much green fodder as two
cows.
A striking instance of the fierce and
fatal competition which goes on among
plants Is found in the case of the Bra
I'll nut. This fruit contains from fif-
teen to twenty-four seeds, which all
terminate at one time. The most Wig
orous one gets first through a small
hole at the top to the open air, and
thereupon 1t strangles the rest and
feeds upon them.

her children from a more horrible fate.
The superstitious Utes, seeing her
standing, clothed all in white, ana
knowing that she had been hit, believed
her to be a supernatural being, ana
were afraid to approach her.
The courageous woman managed 10
get inside her burning home. She
reused her children, and. taking her
eight-months-old baby in her left arm,
with her torn and broken right arm
dangling. she led the way from her
ruined home and dead husband out into
the night.
For three long hours she and her chill
dren hunted for assistance. AT last
they reached the cabin of half-witted
fellow. Then they discovered to their
horror that the Indians had already
been there. The place was deserted.
They searched around in the darkness
for clothes to tie up the wounded
shoulder, and cut their feet badly on
the broken window-glass which streWed
the floor.
Leaving the cabin, Mrs Gunthner
and her children started again on their
desolate Journey. A few rods from the
house they stumbled on the body of the
owner, wrapped in a blanket, under a
sage bush. At first they thought he was
dead, but he proved to be alive. He had
heard the coming Indians and had hid
from them in the brush. MIS-. GunInner
forced him to tear his blanket into
strips and bind her shattered arm to
her body. The man then led the way to
the nearest farm house, which was
reached at daybreak.
The doctor was sent for Immediately.
He looked at the woman and told Mrs.
Gunthner that if she had any business
that needed attention 1t had best be fin
ished at once, for the chances of her re-
covery were one in a thousand.
''I must live for my children, and ]
WILL" replied Mrs Gunthner, simply.
She did live, and, coming to Califor-
MIA, she made comfortable home for
herself and children. For years she re-
sided in Hanford. The bones in her
arm, however, had been loaded, and IN
few years began to pain her. AS time
passed it was found necessary to re-
move a piece of the bone. In the course
Of time several more operations were
performed without success, and as q
last resort Mrs. Gunthner was sent to
the hospital in San Francisco. The sur
geons decided to amDutate her arm.
The operation proved too great shock
for her. And so. after bearing up for

L 4 Of those about her knew 1t her
untimely end was brought about
by an atrocious Indian massacre.
The womans name was Mrs. Mar
garet Gunthner. She was brought to
the hospital to submit to an operation
made necessary by the old wounds re-
ceived at the hands of the bloodthirsty
Utes.
In the fall of 1884 A. c.. Gunthner,
with his wife and four children-two
boys and two girls-moved to a home
stead in the Montezuma Valley, in
Southeastern Colorado The place was
fifty miles from the Ute reservation.
The Gunthners did not dream that
there was any danger from the Indians.
Throughout the autumn and winter
the family made improvements and In
the spring their substantial two-story
cottage was surrounded by waving
corn fields. One June night the trag-
edy occurred which ruined the prosper
Gus home, robbed the children of a
father and nearly destroyed the
mother. A short time before this fatal
night several cowboys and Indians had
a row. Six of the Indians were killed.
AS Is the custom with the redskins,
after burying their dead they doggedly
took to the warpath and never rested
till a like number Of whites had been
killed and so balanced the tally Of an
eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth.
The Gunthners had just gone to bed
when flames were discovered sweeping
up the side of the house. The husband
ran outside to try to save his home.
His wife fastened to help him. AT that
instant the spiteful crack Of rifles was
heard.
Gunthner shouted to his wife to save
the children, and then fell pierced by
bullets.
AS Mrs. Gunthner turned toward the
door bullet smashed into her right
shoulder, shattering the bones and ter
ribly decorating the flesh.
The brave woman, however, did not
fall, but braced herself against the
house. This act alone saved herself and

Mrs. FRANKLIN Wood of Sherman on
Sunday found her child, 2 years old,
and a child of neighbor, years old,
playing in the grass. She noticed that
the little one was occasionally striking
something in front of her with a short
stick, and after each stroke both chill
dren would laugh heartily.

she remembered nothing until revived
by the neighbors. The snake was five
feet long and had nine rattles.

being generally directed toward scratching
lint and making hospital necessities, but
just aS the present hour they have . great
er power than they lave ever had and can
use it for their country's welfare In reli-
giously refusing to buy any goods OF any
description made In France. This country
had q right to expect at least friendly neu-
trality from France, and it has found en-
nifty SO great that. nothing but the fear OF

from open sympathy with Spain. 30, sis

MIGRATING sense of the exercise of your

q weapon before which all France must

Wedo not need to go abroad for our new
cotton bicycle coverts. These are unusual
ly strong and handsome goods, scarcely
distinguishable from the real wooden COW
erts. They are made up in the most simple
manner, but every one is tailor finished.
The skirts, when they are not divided,
measure three yards around h bottom
and are faced up and stitched until the
skirt sets out roundly. They are not SO
apt to catch on the chain. These coverts
are produced in many colors, but those
preferred by the leading houses after long
experience are gray, tan, dusty brown,
olive, russell green and q sort of dusty
tan. The effect of the dust color is wrought
very cleverly, and so no one can tell
whether a gown is old and dusty or new
and dusty. The only trouble is that none
of these colors ever looks clean.
There is an endless list of Russian
crashes for the wheel. These are handsome,
firm, cool and ready shrunk, SO that they
are good to use. Irish and Scotch linens
are among the materials used in bicycle
costumes, and these, too, are washable.
They are crisp and cool, and linen is now
considered one of the best as well as health
lest of all textiles. Oatmeal cloth n
bourette are the other fabrics for wheeling

and very soft and pretty they are. TIL
most Of the crashes and mixtures of linen
and cotton are in fax shades. The short
skirt reaching a little below the knee and
the high laced bicycle shoe and invisible
bloomers form the combination most Of
ten seen. A neat shirt waist and leather
belt holding a small bag for handkerchief,
change, etc., and a bright necktie make
the costume complete.

HIGH ART IN DRESS TRIMMINGS

So much depends upon the way a dress
Is trimmed that it almost becomes neces-
sary to write q special letter about the new
.garnitures prepared for the beautiful black
goods about to be presented to us for fall.
These black materials, being SO very rich
and heavy, require o different trimming
from anything we have had for q long
time, most particularlyfo for the heavy cord
ed goods and superb Irish poplins. No
flounces could be put upon such material
without cheapening the whole, nor can
braid be used or even velvet ribbon.
There is nothing in the whole range of
trimming so suitable as passementerie and
beading, and SO by natural selection we
AVE just that, but in more beautiful forms
ard tasteful designs than ever.
The general effect Of the new ~garnitures
Is close patterns, those for the waist and
special parts of it being in fancy design
and each quite distinct from anything OF
the kind ever before offered. The skirts to
these heavy silks and corded and plain
poplins require little or no trimming, but
where any is desired it is preferred rather
scant. Tor this are designed narrow lines
of very fine beaded p-assementerie with
small cut jet beads wrought into scrolls
heading q line of soutache covered by
rather larger jet beads. A picot loop is
formed all along the outer edges n is
very effective.
There are dozens and dozens of different
patterns of these fine trimmings to choose
from. The beauty of them is their great
adaptability. They can be sewed on
straight or in curves and be wrought into
bowknots and festoons, but where they
are prettiest is when they are sewed in a
straight line exactly at the foot of the
dress.
One OF the daintiest arrangements OF
the set pieces made up for waist trimming
is a branching spray which is broad over

very small, but always beautiful Tor the
cool days, or hours in the day, l think o
short Jacket not unlike an eton, but made
Of the same material as the rest of the
suit, is preferred. This is SO made that it
can hang open and the revers turn back,
OF 1t can be buttoned up to the neck. Hats
are a matter of taste. / think the white
straw sailor shape is rather better liked
for warm days. These have different trim
ming. Some nave scarfs Of striped taft
feta, others red, white and blue ribbon and
others a band with a few flowers, quilts
or rosettes. There is no n fixed style.
Serge, cheviot and ~crayapette and crava-
Melted covert are the best of the woolen
goods, but the days are upon us when the
Thought Of wool is a burden without its
presence.
This morning I saw gown which was
dainty and summary, but which looked as
though it belonged to another century.
The gown was of apple green printed taf-
feta, the figures being pale and vague in
faded pink. Over the whole was a lattice
Of dark green satin stripes. It was cut
princess shape and opened in front all the
way down over a pulled inset of white
MANILA net. The pufs were arranged in
quilted design. The sleeves were tight to
the elbow and there they ended in a deep
lace ru1ae. There was a pork pie shaped
white and green straw hat, and this was
trimmed with a regular ssmob cap of
white lace with q lace ruf1e nearly cover
ing the brim.
This is a fancy that have seen repeated
several times lately. That and these stif1y
gathered pieces of silk set around the
crowns are Of very ancient origin. Black
patches on the face and powdered hair be-
long with these. The gown mentioned
ahora ia for the street for warm days.

the bust and narrows at the waist line ano
falls nearly to the knee at the left side in
q narrowing line. 1t is to be applied only
to q princess gown and Is made for that
purpose
Other set pieces are alike on both sides
and SO arranged that part falls over the
upper part Of the sleeves. Some are in
form Of q half bertha or yoke, to be sewed
to the waist in front; others are like bre-
tef1es both front md back. These are for
blouses. One taking fancy Is q series of
boEknots Of -passementerie, with trailers
reaching to the belt. A rich piece is made
of very close beading in an open design on
the front of o basque of heavy Irish pop
lin. Some designs are wrought on strong
net, and his Is stretched over silk and
made into a blouse.
Almost all Of the designs are entirely
black, but I saw a few where jewel effects
were obtained by colored beads. One very
delicate pattern wa wrought on white
crepe lisee with black beads Of three or
four different sizes. The beading was
done in outline, and the crepe lisse was
d out so that 1t became applique work.
This Is for blouse waists and for trimming
for evening dresses. All the rest is for
day wear. / may mention here that there
will, from all present appearances and adj
vices, be quite as much braid used on the
fall gowns as there has been on those for
the past spring, only there will be more
made pieces In bowknotS u scroll and
other devices.
As all good American women wear the
beautiful colors of Old Glory, so, too, are
they banding toeashar to eschew altFrench
goods. I say all good Arpericans. A few
say they intend to buy what is pretty and
becoming, no matter where it originated.
We have silk mills, wooden and cotton
mills and no end of other factories in this
country which can give usplenty OF every
thing we need, and if these are not enough
there is Japan and Italy in silks andG Ger
many and England to furnish US wooden
stuffs. American woolens, particularly
the standard goods and the fancies, are
just as good as any romforeign'countries,
with the sole exception OF the PraesSley
blacks from Bradford. Our dyers have
not yet been able to compete with them
The French goods are certainly good,
and no fault oan be found with the dye
and co1oring, but when 9 nation that owes
its business prosperity t this country di-
rectly and indirectly shows such an IN
friendly spirit toward us in favor OF Spain
e becomes every Americana duty to show
them that we none Of NJ care a,pea straw
whether they are friendly or not. We
have the money to buy with, anything
from 4 10 franc bonnet to g $4,000, 600

and want to sell them badly, and they
have no ether market. We have the
money and can buy wherever we want TO.

as a branch bureau Of their departments,
though in reality it has no official connec-
tion with the government except In a
volunteer capacity.
Although 1t was positively announced
at the beginning Of the war that neither
the army nor the navy would enlist any
women nurses for war service, the plans
have been changed and DR.. MCGEE is fast
supplying women to take c3re of our brave
boys in the hospitals at Key West, Atlanta
and tie hospital ship lately fitted out at
New York.
DR.. MCGEE impresses one as being the
ideal woman to rank at the head of the
wars "angels of mercy" She is young
and charming, possessing unusual mag
netism, vivacity and gift of language.
Moreover, she has the blood Of patriots
| coursing in her veins, being able to boast
of three Revolutionary ancestors, the best
known of whom perhaps was General John
Bull, who defended Philadelphia during
our struggle for liberty. She has pursued
special courses of study abroad at Cam
bridge, the University of Geneva and else
where on the continent.
Returning to this country, she equipped
herself for the sciences and studied medi-
cine at Columbia and Johns Hopkins. She
is the daughter of Professor Simon New
comb, the great astronomer, who has been
more honored abroad than any other of
our American scientists, and is he wife
of Professor W. j. MCGEE, the well known
ethnologist and geologist. She is one OF
the vice presidents general of the Daugh-
tiers of the American Revolution, having
been previously elected surgeon general
and librarian general of that society.
As soon as the present war was antici-
pated she conceived the idea of the society
cooperating with the wal and navy de-
partments, and both Surgeon General
Van Reypen Of the navy n Surgeon
General Sternberg of the army Endorsed
the project. In consequence she received
the appointment which she now holds, be-
ing at the head of the board of "Daugh-
tiers" having the selection of the war
nurses in charge. Although during the
civil wal Miss Dix, who performed the du-
ties now conferred upon DR.. MCGEE, re-
fused to appoint women who were prepos-
sessing in appearance, no such regulation
has been made for this war, and our brave
boys may hope to be inspired to strength
by woman's comeliness as well as healed
by her tender skill.

To give meat the delicious flavor char
acteristic of a broil and brown the surface
SO quickly that none of the delicate juices
escape is impossible on a fire that has just
been mendod or that sends out jets Of gas.
A hot. clear fire is indispensable. The
gridiron should be ~sorupulously clean and
heated thoroughly before the hroil is put
on it. Grease the bars of the gridiron with
suet or kitchen fat; never with butter.
Meat needs plenty of flare, fish but little.
Put meat SO near the fire that it will be in
the fare which the fat drops cause. As
soon as the surface IN one side Is Drowned
turn and brown the other side. After this
turn frequently and remove a little from
the fire to finish cooking. Beef an inch
thick will require from 10 to 30 minutes
broiling. Trim off the skin from mutton
chops, leave only fat enough to make them
palatable and broil about ten minutes.
Serve on a hot dish and put a piece Of butt
ter and few drops of lemon juice on each
chop. Broil pork chops In the sane way.
In turningNa broil never stick q fork in
to the lean part, as this allows the delicate
favored juices, upon which it's excellence
in great part depends, to escape. A sea-
soning of pepper, mustard, herbs, onion
juice or the like should be added five min
utes before taking 1t of the fire, but salt
the last thing before serving. Serve on q
hot platter. Place a few bits of soft but
ter on a hot platter, salt on one side of
the broil, lay this side downward, add
more butter and salt and serve. Fish
should be sailed before it is broiled. Slices
Of halibut or other large fish should be
seasoned with salt and pepper, rubbed on
both sides with melted butter, then rolled
In -four and fried Immediately. Lay salt
mackerel, skin side uppermost, In cold
water overnight. Dry with a cloth, cut
off the head and tip of tail, broil, serve on
o hot dish and season with butter and q
few drops of lemon juice or vinegar.
Salmon and other larger fish should be
freshened "a hours. Oysters should be
wiped dry by placing them between the
folds of q towel and pressing lightly.
Then roll In beaten egg and bread crumbs,
let them lie 10 minutes, then broil on a
creased gfidiron.-Country Gentleman.

As yet the florist trade has suffered very
little from the competition Of women. al
though the work is particularly interest
ing and healthful and the qualities neces-

rule. There are four women florists with
