 A white bengaline blouse that was worn with a black velvet skirt was exceedingly chic. It was cut to fall full over the mar row ceinture all the way round. And yet at the front the blouse effect was more apparent. The short round basques fitted closely over the hips and were plaited at the back in two f1aring box plaits. Heavy appliques of cream silk and gold pasmen- trie formed a shore pointed yoke at the back. At the front the pasmentrie contin- ued down the whole length of the blouse. The high Medecis collar and the reveres were of a pale shade of old gold satin and a narrow piping of the saue finished each side of the blouse where it fastened at the front.

The fullness at the back was dis posed Of in two box plaits that stood out over quite szable hustle, giving the full basques of the corsage the jauntiest air possible.

Special Correspondence of The Age-Herald. Paris, Feb 6.-Matinee musicales are more popular than ever this winter. For a long time past this has been one of the favorite ways of entertaining in the fash ionable Parisian set. Teh best voices from the opera are engaged and every thing Is carried out on an elaborate scale. In the American colony, too, the mat inee musicale is popular. Some of the most promising of Marchesis and Trobade1las pupils are introduced to the musical world in this way.
 They are brilliant morning gatherings these popular musicales and the gowns worn are always rich and attractive.
 At one of the late matinee musicales that I attended the quantity of heavy silk and poplin gowns was remarkable. Certainly the most striking up-to-date gowns were made of these materials.

THE LOST HORSEPOWER.
A Rediscovered Mine Recalls the Story of a
 Crazy Swede's Rich Find.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 Mining regions can turn up more pecu- liar facts and romances and superstitions than any other locality in the world, for the reason that all classes and conditions of men bump elbows with one another in a booming mining camp said N. o. Har- desty of Denver
 Last summer there was a boom in Whisky Park, mining district near Co., lumbine Col, and there was a rush of miners and prospectors to locate claims. During the excitement a man of the name of Martin pushed out several miles ahead of Whisky Park, and while prospecting one day found pile of rocks that attract ed his attention on account of the peculiar way in which they had been arranged. The rocks bore the appearance of having been piled together by the hand of man. Martin began to investigate, and he re- moved but @ few rocks until he found an old shaft This old shaft had been aban- doned and the top covered with this pile of rocks. It was evident from other reasons that some man had covered the shaft, as the rocks bore pick marks. The snows of many winters had been melting in the mountains and washing down debris that had almost filled this shaft to the surface. Further investigation proved that this old shaft had been sunk on an extensive lead, and that it had been filled and abandoned after much money had been spent in devel- opment work Near by was also found a large pile of mining timbers, routed down partly to dust heap, but still showing signs of having been carefully stacked. It was estimated that it would take at least thirty years for pile of mining tim bers to rot in this way. Therefore the conclusion was drawn that this mine had not been worked for thirty years. Then the question arose: What was the name Of the mine? Whose property was it? Why was 1t abandoned? Did this old shaft lead to great riches?
 "Of course the accidental discovery of the pile of rocks, the finding of the old shaft and the pile of mining timbers created much gossip throughout the district The old-time miners, sitting around their camp fires at night, revived the story of the lost Komstocker, and it is an interesting story of the pioneer days of Colorado. It Is sad story of a poor, lonely Swede in search of gold. The name of this Swede is not known He made his appearance in Raw lins, Wyo., soon after the Union Pacific railroad was completed. Everybody con- sidered him to be slightly daft and he was the butt for the jokes of the rough miners and frontiersmen. He was called the crazy Swede.' He was believer in spir- itualism. and as he had been an old en-

PIGEON MESSENGER SERVICE.
Its Great Importance to the United States
 Navy.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 The twenty-third volume of proceedings of the United States Naval Institute, just issued has among it's contents several ably written papers on subjects interesting to the navy Lieut. D. w. Eberle contrib utes a paper on "Homing Pigeons as Mes sengers of the Fleet" in which he refers to the advantages and practical workings or a messenger pigeon service, and points out conditions under which it may be used with much advantage to the fleet.
 In his paper Lieut.. Eberle says: From its geographical surroundings. Key West will become our most important pigeon station on the Atlantic, and Port Townsend which controls the Straits of Fuca and sri- trance to Puget Sound, will be tie most important on the Pacific Port Townsend station can control the entire entrance to the western possessions of Great Britain, and this would prove of great value in the event of hostilities with that country.
 s.The rapid concentration of naval forces at the point of attack, or the movement of forces to intercept the enemy, is only made possible when we have system by which we can communicate rapidly with the shore station from long distances at sea, and the messenger pigeon service is the only sys- tenn by which we can obtain such commit nication. This service might be called, very appropriately, sea telegraph sys- tenn, and, although it's messages cannot be
 
 certainty of the telegraph, yet the system has the advantage of forwarding its mes- sages from any position within definite lim- its, and therefore, it is not necessary to seek the telegraph station in order to send a message.
 "In the event of hostlities many more messages than those given in the above illustrations would be sent in order to in- sure the receipt of important information, and if only one of the many little mes- sengers should arrive in time to enable our fleet to maneuver so as to engage the en- emy before he could inf1ct appalling de- struction of life and property upon some one of our seaports, then this service would prove itself most valuable to the government, and we'll worth the small an- nual sum required to maintain its effi- ciency.
 'Tt requires but one practical illustration 10 strike home and to open our eyes to the merits of this service. Let single human life be saved from shipwreck in time of peace, or let one maneuver of the enemy's neet be frustrated in the midst of war by the timely arrival of one of these swift winged, trusty little carrier with It's ur- gent message. and all the country will ap- plaud the result and will realize the value pf messenger pigeon service upon the Ieas."
