New Ribbons Are Attractive.

The new ribbons are very attractive,
and are evidently going to be, more
than ever, feature of dress trimming.
There are gorgeous plaids and the
most fascinating array of stripes, up
and down and across in the Roman
fashion. Three or four shades of one
color are striped together, with possi-
bly, velvet stripe on one edge; and
then, again, there are many stripes of
contrasting colors blending together
with bright, pretty effect. Oriental
brocaded ribbons add to the variety,
and so do glace ribbons with fancy
borders. There are uncut velvet rib
bons with the ribs running crosswise,
some in lovely colors, the newest be-
ingsa clear shade of purple blue.

A correspondent of Popular Sci
ence writes to that journal: "That
rubber goods can be so compounded
that they will not bloom is well
known. At the same time, the ap-
pearance of this efllorescence of sui
phur upon the surface of vulcanized
goods is a general indication that they
have not been overcured Goods that
have bloomed, and that remain at
rest in warm, dry place, are quite
likely, it is true, to deteriorate. If
bicycle riders wish to preserve their
tires when not in use, take them off
and store in a damp, cool place"

Money Made by n BlaCksmith.

Tacoma once had a mint that coined
all the money in circulation where the
City of Destiny now stands, and Ii did
not require the fiat of Uncle Sam, the
silver of Idaho or the gold of Cali
fornia to make the pieces from Taco
mas mint pass current among the In
iians and the few hardy pioneers that
were blazing the path of civilization
through the forest on the shores of
Commencement bay.
Back in the early seventies, so says
the Tacoma Leader, the Tacoma Mail
Company, not being able to handily Sc
cure gold and silver for use in trading
with and paying off the Indian laborers
and early settlers, hit upon the novel
plan of issuing their own currency. and
to this end set their blacksmith at
work to fashion for them out of scraps
Of iron and brass pieces of money. or.
rather, tokens, which could be used as
q circulating medium. The pieces con-
sisted of 40 and As cent iron tokens and
brass 81 pieces. The 40-cent pieces were
about the size of the present half dol
lar. The one-dollar pieces were oval
in shape, about an inch and quarter
long, an inch wide and sixteenth Of
an inch in thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures show
ing their value, and readily passed cur
rent all over the country tributary TO
the mill. Nearly all this old "mill'
coin has passed away, but a few days
ago William Hanson, of the Tacoma
Mill Company, presented a set of these
queer coins to the Ferry Museum. In
his letter he said:
The honesty Of the people and the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company made the use Of
this money possible"
Oregon has long boasted of the "Bea-
ver' coin minted at Oregon City in the
early fifties as the only money minted
in the Northwest in the days of the
pioneer.

For Slender Women.

High gowns for evening wear are be-
ing introduced, says London Sketch,
by several of the best Partisan dress
makers, dictum that thin women
should hail not less from the point of
view of "becomingness" than that of
practical comfort. Napoleon's indus
triously acquired knowledge of the sex
eliminated in his decisively expressed
opinion that thin women should never
wear low dresses, end the conqueror
of beauty and broad acres certainly
spoke well. Those long, crinkled,
transparent sleeves, which have al
ready prevailed with success, are now
supplemented with gatherings of tulle
embroidery, lace or mousseline,
brought from the decolletage to the
neck, and in all cases where finely
nodded figure is regretably absent the
fashion is to be commended for being
pretty and prudent-in chilly weather
particularly.

SPANISH PEASANTRY.
characterized by Poverty and Appal.
ling Ignorance.


In the Spanish lower classes you will
find poverty and appalling ignorance
neglect of the intelligence which is
positively animal-yet nevertheless not
unallied with an obvious capacity of
education and improvement, an actual
and admirable pluck and cheerfulness,
temper grateful, hospitable, and af
fectionate, and a marvellous sobriety of
living.
There is one especial word particu-
larly applicable to this gente baja. 1t
is the Spanish word sufrida, which we
must render in single English word
by patient; but it means more than pa
tient; it means patient and unvindic-
tive under grievous injury and wrong.
Such are the Spanish peasantry-the
cream of the Spanish people. Their
only province in relation to their gov
ernment is to pay. They are a passive
vehicle for ministerial extortion. The
contribucioneS are already heavier
than they can bear, and grow more
merciless as each successive admins
tration plunges the country deeper and
deeper into debt. In return for this
continuous disbursement they receive
nothing. Their lands are without a
road, their cAildren without school;
their navy is furnished with ships con-
tracted for at double the price of ours,
whose only quality is to go to the bot
tom without the shadow of n cause,
their army is unpaid, unofficered, and
undrilled, and absolutely incompetent
to engage with any European power
The last Spanish census shows that of
total population of 1S,000,000 over g.
100000 can neither read nor WRITE
while over half have no determined oc-
cupation. This statement is in itself
so damning that 1t appears hardly nee
essary to inquire further. 1t simply
serves to show that for the present
Spain is a country of Europe, but moi
of Europeans; that the Moor, and the
very worst and most savage part OF
him. is still predominant in the despots
who, by the sheer exercise of terror
aided by a complaisant and feeble
monarchy, an army, an armed police, o
suborned clergy, and a suborned press
abuse the holiest attributes of trust
and government and power.-West

SensiCkness.'

Men are less subject to seasickness
than women, according to an old sea
captain, but when attacked by it make
more fuss. They take Immediately to
their berths, where they grumble and
groan untsi they are well enough to go
on deck again. A woman fights the I'M
pleasant malady until she can fight no
longer. Then she becomes maudlin
and pathetic. She retires to her room
and invariably asks three questions:
First, whether people de of seasick-
ness, then how many miles we are from
shore, and lastly when we shall get
there. The doctor is always talked
over. When the patient gets so III that
she loses interest in the doctor, she
usually lies on her side and cries by the
hour. a great many passengers come
aboard loaded with medicine for the
prevention of seasickness, but the only
sure preventive is careful dieting.

LOST MINE IN ARIZONA.
Rich Property, Guarded by CrumbIin:
Breastworks.


The story of the discovery Of an old,
forgotten mine in an unfrequented To-
cality in the foothills of the Pinal
mountains, embellished with romantic
details such as usually accompany
legends of lost mines, created lively
interest about the public resorts in
Globe
l.. S. Goble, r. Quarrels and H. S.
McClelland, on August II, while pros
pecting in the foothills eight or nine
miles south of Globe and three and a
half miles to the left of the toll road,
discovered an old shaft, and near by on
the hill above the ruins of breastworks,
which had evidently been erected for
defense against Indians. The evidences
of great age observable in the decayed
shaft, almost filled with debris, and the
crumbling breastworks, excited the
party's curiosity, and they stopped to
investigate. The old shaft was found
to have been sunk on a well-defined
ledge, from which they took promising
specimens of ore which tested well in
copper and gold.
Owing to the unsafe condition of the
old shaft, after having removed two or
three feet of the debris, they aban-
doned it, and having made their loca-
tions, they started a new incline shaft
below the old works. From the sur
face down they had twelve to four
teen inch streak of sulphuret ore run
ming from 10 to So per cent. in copper
and well in gold, one assay giving $42
per ton. The incline is now down fif-
teen feet and the ore has widened to
three feet.
A well-preserved skeleton, with bull
let hole through the skull, or bearing
other evidence of foul play, is a desir
able, If not an essential exhibit of ev-
cry such discovery, and as this was
lacking, Mr.. Goble industriously set
about to supply the deficiency, al
though in justice to our informant, he
says it was the hope of uncovering
treasure more than to make so grew
some find, which prompted him to eX-
plore mound of stones lodged in a
crevice in the rocks near the breast
works. After removing about three
feet of rock and leaves Goble struck HIS
pick into what proved to be the eye
socket of human skull, which caused
him to momentarily shrink with horror,
but summonlng up courage he proceed
ed with the work, and soon uncovered
n complete skeleton of man. Near
the right hand lay dagger eaten with
rust, a large chunk of quartz scanned
with coarse gold, and a handsome
specimen Of onyx. What was the fate
of the human being whose bones had
been thus rudely disturbed? Had he
been murdered by the implacable foe of
the white man, the blood-thirsty
Apache, or had he peacefully laid down
life's burden and been tenderly com
mitted to the grave by friendly hands?
There is none to answer, and the mys-
terry must remain unsolved.-Globe, A.

A piece of machinery run by steam and

and out of gear, owing to some expansion
of metal from heat and friction. Stop its
work, rub and brighten and let it rest. In
short while it will be restored and will
run smoothly. The human system is a.
machine. Too much work and worry are
thrown upon it; too much of the heat OF
daily cares: too much of the steam of daily
business. The nerves become cranky; they
are restless, sleepless and twitchy, and a
neuralgia condition sets in. Pain throws
the machine out OF gear and it needs rest
and treatment to strengthen and restores
