QUAINT DOLL HEADS.
some of Metal included Nowadays In
the variety Supplied TO the
Dealers.

Years ago doll heads were made Of
wood. carved out by hand, and great
numbers Of dolls were sold that were
entirely Of wood, with jointed arms and
legs. Some dolls Of this sort, looking
quaint enough now, though they were
once so common, are still sold, but the
great bulk Of the dolls now made have
bodies of cloth or leather, with heads Of
china. bisque, or papier-mache. There
are also now dolls heads of metal;
these heads being made Of brass in two
parts, stamped out with dies and
joined together.
In the process by which these heads
are made, many dies are used in the
production Of a single head, the metal
being worked TO its final shape gradual
ly. The first die makes but a barely
pcrceptible impression upon the piece
of sheet metal from which the head is to
be formed. The next shapes il a little
more: and so on by pressure from sue
cessive dies, each little more sharp
~ defined, the head is brought finally
to its perfect form. These heads are
made in various sizes, and in various
styles as to details Of finish. They cost
about the same as the best bisque
heads; but one of the merits claimed
for them is indestructibility

A LOST KING.
That Was Centuries Ago, But His
Faithful People StiII Wait
for His Coming.

In olden times, when European kings
we're as plentiful as Kentucky colonies
are to-day. il was not an exceptional
occurrence for a king TO disappear and
never be heard Of again. In recent
times, however, the people have been
more careful of their kings. So when
King Sebastian of Portugal disappeared
in battle July %, 1873, while fighting
the Moors at Alcalsr, there was great
commotion. The Moors surrendered
TO the Portuguese a body said TO be that
Of the king. but II was rumored that the
Moors had the live king in custody
The surrendered body was buried with
royal honors at Belem. but the faithful
Portuguese persisted in waiting for
the return of their king. Long after be
would have died in the course of nature
his countrymen longingly awaited his
coming. Even up to this day the legend
of the return of King Sebastian is be
lieved by many, and on stormy nights
credulous Portuguese citizens will
wrap their cloaks about them and 60
outside and watch the storm, thinking
that the king may appear in cloud OF
fire and again rule over bis people.

WOMEN OF BABYLOEIA.
Marriage Contracts 2-50o Years Ago
Were Very Carefully
Drawn Up.

A recent treatise by Victor Marx, a
German scientist, defines the position
Of women in Babylonia during the peri
cd of 6O4-4S5 b. c., as illustrated by the
con tract literature Of the times. The
contracts indicate that Babylonian
maidens held property in their own
right. and that there were definite
marriage stipulations relating to
dowry, incidentally indicating the de-
pendenee of the son on his fathers
wishes in the choice Of wife.
The dowry contracts were definite,
stating the amount and nature of the
property 20 be given, providing for pay
ment by installments and arranging
for payment by brother in case of the
fathers decease. the dowry being re-
garded as a legally collectible debt,
payable in kind II money were lacking.
The legal recipient of the dowry was
the son-in-lax, yet the daughter (wife)
retained such proprietary interest
therein that, if invested in realty by the
husband, it was In his wife's name.
There are indications that husband
and wife enjoyed approximately equal
rights with respect to property, the
control OF children, etc; there is little
reference TO the husbands duty to sup
port the wife, though it appears that in
case of divorce the husband paid all
mony according to his means
Apparently the regulations govern.
ing the contracts studied pertained
chiefly to urban life; certainly the reg
ulations seem hardly in accord with the
customs prevailing among contem-
porary nomadic tribes, and still main
tanned among their descendants Of sim
liar habit.

A HEROIC NUN.
Rewarded by the King Of the Hell
ginns for Her Noble Conduct
az Nurse.

King Leopold has Just bestowed on
Sister Teresa Hickey, an English nun
of the Apostoline community estab-
lished in Belgium. the civic medal of the
first class Ia decoration instituted as a
reward of conspicuous civic merit), In
recognition of her heroic services to
the people during the outbreak of a ter
rible epidemic which ravaged the dis
trict of 0ordegem, in Flanders. So
great was the CONSERVATION of the in
habitants that no one would venture to
approach the houses in which the VIC
Tins lay dying, says the Westminster
Gazette. During the panic Sister Teresa
volunteered to go and tend the unfor-
tunate sufferers, for whom purses could
not be found. For several weeks she de-
voted herself day and and night to the
noble work of ministering to the sick
and dying, receiving no other assistance
than that given by the clergy OF the
parish. With unflagging devotion the
brave woman remained unflinchingly
at her post of duty until the epidemic
abated, although almost broken down
by her untiring efforts.
Public manifestations of gratitude
for her inestimable services were rem
dered by the people, and her conduct
having come under the notice of the
government, the king has rewarded her
self-sacrifce by bestowal of the honor
mentioned. Sister Teresa has been In
Belgium for nearly 30 years.

GIRL STUDENTS MUST MARRY.
Russian Universities Require That
Women Must BE Married
on Entering.

IL girl in Russia wishes to study at
any of the universities in that country
etiquette does not allow her to do so
until she is married, so she goes through
the civil ceremony Of marriage with a
man student, whom very probably she
has never seen before. and this mar
riage is quite legal, though perhaps
they may never speak to each other
again, says Stray Stories.
On the other hand. if they like each
other, and they wish it, they are mar
ried for life. If they don't, the marriage
is dissolved when their university
course is finished, and they are free to
marry some one else.
The celebrated mathematician, Sonya
Kovalevski, went through the marriage
ceremony with a student whom she
then saw for the first time, and who
afterward became her husband
The education of women in Russia
stands better than in most European
countries, owing to the persistent eff
forts of the Russian women themselves.
By 1885 they had managed to get four
university colleges for women, with
Lap students; one medical academy,
with 500 students, and numerous inter
mediate schools. There are 700 women
doctors in Russia, of whom nearly one
half are employed in the civil service.

fsnecia1 CORRESPONDENCE. J


Eureka. June 15.-F'rom what one
may see and hear concerning the Little
Chief, the conclusion formed is that In
time the property is destined to take
on big proportions. Situated as it is.
adjoining the Snow Flake and Eagle
Blue Bell. the natural location war
rants one in having great confidence
and expectations in its future career.
For time it is believed that the
company's work was more or less re-
tarded by lack of funds. but in the re-
cent election of new officers. including
also some men with the 'Sinews of
War" in the directory, the embarrass
ment has been overcome. and work
will be continued TO a depth deemed
sufficient.
At present the shaft is down close to
10 feet. and the ground shows miner
allied conditions. with ore occasionally
presenting. Delos Lombard. one of the
financial supporters, assured your cor
respondent that the Little Chief has
tided over all obstacles and from now
on it would be smoother sailing.
The big shaft house of the Ridge
Valley just recently completed. has
been painted, and it seems as if the
decorations has increased it's dimen-
sions. The shaft has passed the 100
foot mark and the plant is working in
a highly gratifying style.

Diamond, June 15.-After having been
closed for many years and in a sense
practically abandoned, the Morning
Glory mine was yesterday opened and
preliminary surface and underground
work commenced. This grand old-time
producer. together with its adjoining
neighbor. the Isabella Victoria, was a
prominent contributor in sustaining life
in this young and struggling camp
along in the '70's. In fact, this par
ticular locality. with the exception of
the Bowers vein. which is now segre-
gated in many different properties, was
the scene of all activity, embracing the
Isabella Victoria, Morning Glory. Be-
nanZa, Homestake, Julian Lane and
farther north the Tesora. Lady Aspin-
wall and others.
With all the vast amount of rich ore
that was extracted from these old
timers. but little. if any, deep mining
has been done. In fact, in 1876, when
the Bonanza mine. was at depth of
$50 feet, and was famous for the beau
tiful native copper ores, many of which
obtained the blue ribbon at the Phila-
delphia exposition. visitors came from
all around the country to see the deep
shaft SO there must be great unex-
plored resources in the deep.
The writer was informed that the
Morning Glory is started up again IN
der the guidance and control of Messrs.
Newhouse and Weir. The same infor-
nation was pretty generally impaired
about Diamond, and is accepted as a
fact. Such being the case, it is IA sub
ject of much interest to this end of Tin
tic, for every 100 feet of work that
Newhouse and Weir, or anyone, per-
forms in this locality will tend TO dem
onstrate what is universally conceded,
that few districts will surpass its sub
Stantial ShoWings.
