PAINTED SILKS NEW AGAIN.

Fashion is following the example of
history this season and repeating it.
SELF Hand-painted silks and satins
for evening dress wear have suddenly
become so much the rage in Paris that
the modistes find difficulty in discov-
ering people able to paint the mate
rails in sufficient quantity. The flow
ers are generally painted large. There
will be, for instance, roses about twice
the natural size of the largest BIOS
SONS. One huge rose will be painted
in three places at the bottom of the
skirt, with trail of flowers gradually
decreasing in size and a few leaves,
rising up to end about midway be-
tween the knee and the waist, toning
OFF to few sprays and buds at the
uppermost points. Or honeysuckle
will be used, beginning in like manner
with preternaturally large clusters,
and mixed with sweet pea, whichslat-
ter presently meanders alone toward
the top of the skirt.
A naturally careless arrangement is
aimed at, and further to soften the ef-
feet delicate muslin or crepe de chine
is generally employed as a tunic, fall
ing nearly to the ground at the back.
and draped in front into a peplum
point so as to come between the two
painted garlands as an apron. When
only border round the edge or a
short trail of flowers is painted, the
very fine muslin overdress is made the
full length of the skirt in front, and
just drawn up sufficiently at the sides
to show the flowers peeping out un-
der it, the folds being fastened up by
an imitation diamond or other brooch.

COMMON THINGS OF LIFE.

Art thou blessed, o soul, with a goodly
dover
Denied to the common lot?
Dost thou find in each leaf, each bud,
each flower.
What another seeth not?
In the organs voice, in the harp's pure
tone,
Nearest thou a deeper strain?
is the hidden sense, unto thee alone.
OF each lofty thought made plain?
Then rejoice in thine heritage. but
heed
Lest thy heart too fondly clings
To the beauty and grace of life which
Away from the common things.
DO not walk apart in disdainful calm
From the common JOY or grief:
Nor withhold thy casket of precious
balm
When its use would give relief,
Share thy large gifts with bounty
free
And a tender love and wise;
Let the sweet ideal which inspireth
thee
Be shown to the, meaner eyes,
Nor fear that thy purity priced so
much,
OF the fount which in thee springs,
Fer will sullied be, though in loving
touch
Thou shalt keep with common
things.
On the mountain tops it were good to
stay;
But the valley down below
Is the scene of the daily strife and
fray,
OF the common work or woe.
And thy place is there, with the
toiling throng
To succor, uplift and teach;
Let thy richer gifts only make thee
strong
The lowlier soul to reach.
And it shall be thine in the humblest
place
Where thy presence healing brings
That thou meet with the Master, face
to face,
In the midst OF common things.

the natives into Malabon without los
ing a man. The American losses are
very light; the Filipinos can't shoot;
they can no more train a field piece
than you could navigate a steamboat
across the Pacific. Their loss is some
thing terrible; up to this morning the
official report of natives killed is S,345
and GNk knows how many are nd
ed. Our'loss up to this morning is rs
killed, 800 wounded and MISSING.
Tine country from the suburbs of Ma
Mia for about miles out fairly reeks
with the stencil of dead natives. They
decompose in one night in this hot
climate and stink before the Ameri-
cans can bury them.
Gen. King, of Milwaukee, is with
us and is a prince. There is not a
man in the Sth army corps that won't
go through fire and water for him.
He is always along the line with a
word here and there and always in a
quiet, encouraging tone. He is as
great fighter as he is writer. We
have not done anything for week
but lay in camp anu quarters, but
maintain firing line 22 miles around
the city. The Filipinos are dazed and
do not know what to think of us.
They say, Americans much malo, no
chow chow, no matitulo, always boom:
boom!' which translated means, The
Americans are bad and 90 not fight
fair; they don't eat, don't sleep and al
ways keep up constant fire and adj
vance on them They think we ought
to stop firing when they do. A promi-
nent Spaniard here says he doesn't
wonoer any more over SPANS defeat;
also says that we have accomplished
more in two weeks with $4,000 men
than the Spaniards have in 16 years
with $4,000 men! 1t is rumored here
today that the United States are goins
to give up these islands to Filipino
self-government. Why, these natives
are no more capable of governing
themselves than a pig and if the
United States does give them up she
tears herself"

THE PASSING OF TENNYSON

we knew 1t, as Gods prophets knew;
We knew it, as mute red men know.
When Mars leapt searching heaven
through
With flaming torch that he must go.
Then Browning, he who knew the
stars,
Stood forth and faced insatiate Mars.
Then up from Cambridge rose and
turned
Sweet Lowell from his Druid trees
turned where the great star blazed
and burned,
AS If his own soul might appease.
Yet on and on through all the stars
Still searched and searched insatiate
Mars.
Then stanch Walt Whitman saw and
knew;
Forgetful of his Leaves of Grass,
he heard his Drum Taps. and God
drew
His great soul through the shining
pass,
Made light, made bright by FURNISHED
stars,
Made scintillant from flaming Mars.
Then soft-voiced Whittier was heard
To cease; was heard to sing no more.
AS you have heard some sweetest bird
The more because it's song is DER,
Yet brighter up the street of stars
Still blazed and burned and beckoned
Mars.
And then the king came; king of
thought,
King David with his harp and
How wisely well the gods had wrought
That these had gone and sat them
down
To wait and welcome mid the stars
All silent in the light of Mars.
All silent. so, he lies in state. -.
Our redwoods drip and drip with
rain.
Against our rock-locked golden gate
We hear the great and sobbing main.
But silent all. He passed the stars
That year the whole world turned to
Mars.

LENT AND LADIES.

The observing of Lent is doomed:
the women of the Four Hundred in
New York have given it up. Every
woman, however humble her origin.
believes that there is blue blood in
her veins and takes a great deal of
interest in the doings of the Four
Hundred. 1t is the women who pay
respect to Lent. The men never paid
the slightest attention to it,
But now that the women OF the Four
Hundred have dropped it, look out
Tor the women of the Seventy Mil
hon to drop it. All the little FIRM
gerry things that women wear come
from the -Four Hundred. The maya
zines describe the ways of the Four
Hundred, and the women of the Sew
enty Million try to act like them. We
don't understand why they should,
but they do. Men don't care what the
men of the Four Hundred do and
never try to act like them. If a
mans father was a shoemaker he saws
so and never pretends that he was an
eXiled nobleman.-The Atchison

very unusual type of fulgurite which
was found at that place in October,
1897, while a cellar was being dug. 1t
was imbedded in sand at a depth of
about five feet in a small hillock
The popularity of these fulgurite is
its spiral form and it is believed to be
the first one of this form to be de-
scribed. Some years ago a fulgurite
came to light in the town of Water
vile, Maine, which had spiral cor
rugations upon it's surface, though the
tube itself was straight. 1t is inter
esting to note that these corrugations
twisted to the right like the curving
axis of the Cutler fulgurite. The
course of the lightning through the
sand in the case of the latter must
have been in a spiral of this type.
Whether this can be explained by the
effect of the earth's magnetism upon
the discharge is doubtful, though
there are some reasons for thinking
that it may.
Professor Wood of the university
has recently made sand tubes es-
sentially like the common form of
lightning-tube by passing the current
of an ordinary arc circuit through
bath of sand between carbon cleo
trodes. So far as known this is the
first time that artificial fulgurites"
have been produced
The spiral fulgurite from Cutler,
which is Az inches long, and these
fulgurites of home manufacture are
now on exhibition in the university
museum.

blowing out of portion of tube.
The opening was inches long, by q
inch wide. under a steam pressure of
135 pounds. In July, 1897. the boiler
Ind been subjected to hydraulic
test of $50 pounds. The thickness of
the metal at the point of failure was
found to be 1854 of an inch. The re-
duction was attributed to oxidation
from overheating.
In the case OF marine boiler at
sea the combustion chamber of one
of the boilers failed by overheating,
awing to lack of water This boiler
was supposed to be well supplied with
sater, the glass water gauge being
