siso prinveo veivet. ~ would seem as II
the list was exhausted, but there are still
other novelties; too many TO mention.
Among novelties ono finds cotton fou-
hard in all kinds OF coiors, but the two
shades Of blue seen on poroelain--tbe one
pale and the other Of a deep rich color
are sure TO be favorites. Dots Of all sorts
and shapes will be seen on them. The
lawns and linen lawns will also be dotted
10 great extent. Some will have tiny
clusters and others great ooin dots like
dimes. The linen crashes arc also seen In
abundance and will be made up in tailor
fashion for outing dresses and suits.
Piques, In spite Of predictions to the oon-
trary, are again offered. Some Of these
will be made up with the highest degree
of the thilor's art and will cost as much as
one Of cloth and at the same time be 80
trimmed as to be useless when soiled.
Pique Is a wash fabric. The fayal linens,
some of them beautifully worked In the
manner peculiar to the inhabitants Of that
island, will be much sought for. This
work naturally shows best over silk. Soft
grass green silk shows up the exquisite
beauty Of this work best of all. Some call

must return again to silks, as I forgot
to mention the elegant pongees. These In
dark grounds with exquisitely printed fig
ures are among the most pleasing of the
new silks for ordinary wear. The figures
for the most part are scroll designs, though
some are floral and still others are really
pompadour. There are many jacquard
woven bayadere stripes, and these vary to
great extent in width and color. These
stripes for all sorts of gowns, I am told,
were the rage when ohignons and hoops
were in vogue. The chlgnons are here
to a limited extent-and bustles arc TAX

Ribbons will have so large place on all
xmas or garments that one ought not
neglect TO tell all the news obtainable
about them. There viii be no one sole
standard, for everything Is made from
Rauze to velvet with satin or grosgrain
back-taffetas for the dressing of the
neck, satin where 10 is to be mingled with
lace, velvet for plaids. gauze where its
airy beauty will be best seen and appreci-
ated, moire for sashes and plaid and Ro-
man stripes for the trimming of children g
hats and for their sashes. Some Of the
ribbons are made so that they look like
gingham in fine and large check. The
taffeta ribbons come in rich colors like
cardinal, burned orange, cherry, blue,
green and purple with frosting Of white
over them. These are really beautiful and
will be largely used for hat trimming In

spring and for stocks and bows. The gauze
ribbons are striped, checked and printed,
so that the variety 10 practically unlimited.
Many of them have fancy feathered edges
and tufted lines. Ok blood and tomato
are the favorite reds. Some of the decided
stripes In ribbons, like black and white
and black and red, are plated in narrow
folds and used as a finish to collars and
frequently to the closing of the blouses.
A new uncrushable grenadine In eight
or ten different oolorings is produced. This
will be good news for those who like gren-
adine. Some Of the silk and wool grena-
dimes have dainty organdie fgurings
Polka dots are seen among them as well
as In almost everything else. Checks in
different oolors are also seen in the new
grenadines Piques have suddenly come
upon us, with several novelties to recon-
mend them, the principal being that they
have lace like openwork stripes. Red,
very red, dimity is offered, with large polka
dots in jet black set closely. This will be
worn next summer for outing, but pre-
sumably where there are 10 COWS. Dots
of all sizes are on all the goods of the sea-
son from silk to plain percale. Some new
cotton dress material Is woven SO cleyerly
In with gold threads as to look like silk.
They are in several combinations of color.
The cotton is unbleaohed and looks like
ivory. There are blue and gold and also
yellow, heliotrope pink and nile green.
Nearly all the new blues have porcelain
or peacock sheen in them.
Spangled lace for ornamenting differ
ent parts of costumes is very dainty. The
founcings, made 40 inches wide, will be
made into req pular skirts over some sort Of
silk lining. The spangles are made of
gelatin and also of aluminium, which il
still lighter. These spangles are In every
shape and color, and some marvellous effects
are achieved by them. MATE LEROY.

day, which was obtained by the labo-
rious method of skimming the oily wa
ters of creek in Nenango, Pa. Today
the yield every "a hours can be reckon
ed only by the thousands of barrels, and
IL has been that way for almost four dec.
Rdes. It is estimated that the wells of
Pennsylvania and western New York
alone have produced more than 500,.
600, 600 barrels, figures which are so
great that we only realize that they rep.
resent a quantity so big as TO be beyond
definite comprehension.
Prior to 1860 petroleum was looked
upon merely as curious natural prod.
net, valuable mainly for its medicinal
qualities. Today, in spite of the devel-
opment of gas and electric light, it is
the illuminant of the people and lights
She homes of nine tenths Of the civilized
world. 1t was first made an article of
commerce by the Seneca Indians, and
for years went by the name of Seneca
oil, or American oil. AS such it was
used as healing salVe and was some
times taken internally as cure for
colds and consumption. The Indians
took it into the towns and villages in
gourds and rude casks made of hollow
logs. They procured it by skimming it
From the surface of creeks.
Today it is used in the manufacture
Iof 100 articles of value in art, science,
mechanics and domestic economy.
Among the many products made from
1t are healing salves, cosmetics, soaps,
nhewing gum, lubricants and lamp
black. Not an ounce Of it is allowed to
go to waste. Even the noxious gases
which are formed when il is refined are
utilized and made into articles which
you use every day.
Since Colonel f. l.. Drake sank his
first well in 1859 the earth has been
pierced more than 100, 900 times for
the purpose Of obtaining oil. A big SEQ
ti0n of two states, if the territory could
be held up to the light and examined,
would look like an immense sieve.
Looking at the industry from a finan-
cial standpoint, the discovery Of petro-
leum was almost as valuable as the gold
strike in California For this product
the rest Of the world pays us an annual
tribute of $50, 900, 900, which represents
tho amount of oil exported each year.
The price of petroleum has fiuctuated
from $l9.2 25 per barrel, which was the
gilt edged figure brought in 1860, to 10
cents per barrel, the rock bottom price
Of two years later. Taking 81. so as a
fair average price Of oil from 1859 to
1895, the total value Of the oil produced
during those 80 years would be about
$4,000, 900, 900. Almost as many for
tunes have been made in the oil regions
as in the goldfields. A big proportion of
the billions which oil has added to our
national wealth has been rather widely
distributed, and it is only within recent
years that monster combination has
been able to absorb lions share of the
profits from the output.
In an industrial sense the oil business
is one of immense proportions. An
army OF 225,000 men is engaged in

LUETGERT'S FACE SENT BY WIRE.
on the idea. II Professor Gray could send
handwriting by telegraph reproducing
the lines accurately at distance of hum
dreds of miles, IT. seemed the easiest thing
in the world to adapt the machine so that
it could be used to send the lines of pic
ture.
But the inventors have been working
for more than five years on the problem,
and although they seem to DO almost as
numerous as the men with automatic car
couplers used to be the task Is still unfln-
ished. Oh, yes, the claim that the thing
had been done has been made many times.
Every few months a new inventor comes
to the front and is featured by the news
papers Sometimes facsimiles Of the
pictures which have been sent by wire are
reproduced. But you Go not know Of any
great journal which receives and uses pic
lures sent by telegraph, do your ma
chine that really could do this would be
eagerly seized by tho papers which make
speciality of illustration, and 1t would be
widely useful in other ways.
The latest claimant for rewards In this
line of invention is Ernest A. Hummel of
st. Paul. He has been recently starred
both in the west and in the east, and his
machine has been heralded as entirely
practical. 1t seems to have its limitations,
however.
Mr.. Hummel Is young manufacturing
joweler and says he has been working for
two years on his contrivanoe. 1t does not
differ materially from one which was test
ed last November, the inventor of which
was DR.. w. p. Dun Lany Of Cleveland.
The picture sending machine is about as
large as an ordinary sewing machine and
consists of transmitter and receiver.
In order to send a photograph the por-
trait is copied on a sheet of block tin but
instead of using ordinary ink the lines are
drawn with a solution of shellac in alco.
hol This liquid can be applied with a
pen or brush and produces picture with
raised lines. The tin plate Is then fastened
on bed which moves back and forth like
the bed of an old fashion press. From tho
transmitter projects an arm, to which Is
fastened tempered steel point. This
point rests on the plate and while 1t
touches the tin the electric circuit is open.
Wherever the point comes across shellac
line 1t is raised and the circuit is broken.
At the other end of the wire the process
is reversed. A blank sheet Of paper takes
the place of the tin on the movable bed
and instead Of the steel point a sharpened
pencil rests over the paper Whenever the
circuit is broken, the pencil point presses
on the moving paper underneath and
makes a line. When the circuit Is closed
again, 1t leaves the paper. Each time the
paper passes under the pencil once it is
slipped up one thirty sixth of an inch, so
that on the next trip the pencil makes
lines in plane just below the first marks
The two parts of the machine are con-
nected by ordinary telegraph wires and

physician In curing these complaints,
has the knowledge, skin and remedies
which never fail TO cure. Women should
know that DR.. Greene can be consulted

Mr.. and Mrs. Lewis d. White had
the great misfortune last Monday to
lose by death their little daughter,
Sarah Cornelia, aged IA months and
. days. There is no pang equal to
that that comes to a parents heart
when death claims their only child !;
and yet there is sweet comfort in the
thought that its suffering is at an
end, and that it returns to its God as
pure and spotless as a snow fake
fresh from cloud, and that "of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven" The
funeral services were held Tuesday
evening at the residence bv Revs. J.

grief stricken parents followed the
remains to Rose Hill Cemetery, and
covered the little mound with beau

o'clock the spirit of little Katherine
Latta Jackson, infant daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. James E. Jackson,
passed from earth and returned to
its heavenly home above. During
it's short stay on earth the little life
had become endeared to the hearts
of its fond parents, and while the
absence of the little form will cause
deepest sorrow, We can but bow to
the wise providence of God and say,
THY will be done" The bereaved
parents have the sincere sympathy
of everyone. The funeral services
were conducted at the residence on
South High street Tuesday after
noon at o'clock by Revs. d. G

Rnhie Kerr.

Little Rubie, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joe B. Kerr, was born June 80,
1897, and died June 26, 1898. All
that loving parents, kind brothers,
sisters and skilled physician could
do were done for her, but ere the
first anniversary of her birthday
rolled around, she was plucked from
the field of humanity and planted
in the garden of Gods love, to
bloom there in everlasting beauty
and fragrance. While it is painful
to give up our loved ones, it is sweet
to know they are at rest in the pres
ence of the Lord, for Christ said
"Sutfer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not, for of such
is the Kingdom of heaven" The be-
reaved family have the sympathy
of many friends. A FRIEND.
