a deep interest in the family, and per sists in regarding them as more or less public characters. Beneath all the talk of magnificent presents, costly fetes, dazzling receptions, brilliant dinners, you hear in Newport the undertone of this muttering: "It is shame!" New po1t, ever quick at nicknames, already calls Contaeuzene "the Black Prince" When this title was first used, it re- ferred to the color of the armor of the man who wore it. That is not now the case.
 Despite all the comment, the wed- ding will be the great social event of the season. To the Anglo-maniac smart set in Newport the name of Grant is no more than any other name, but the deep feeling of a nation has it's reflex. You can feel it in the air. The wedding will be the kind of event one will like to tafS about in after years, adding, as if earelessly: "I had good seat, my dear, and"

MOLINE SHAFT OF THE mceowN MINE.

Now comes the craze for gold and cop per that has discounted both of these previous sources of revenue.
 ". Ireland, the editor of the North Star, of Parry Sound, who has watched the growth of the mining industry probably closer than any other person in the district, says of it:
 By some of the settlers of the Parry Sound district it has been believed for a number of years that minerals existed in paying quantities. Several expert ments have been made on a small scale, and each experiment has brought to light certain amount of either gold, silver or copper. These experiments were made by men who had but the crudest knowledge of geology, and, while they aroused hope, it was usual ly but short-liyed, for when expert geol- ogists were consulted they invariably insisted that it was impossible for min eral to exist in paying quantities in the Laurentian formation of which the en- tire district was composed. It has been these expert opinions that has retarded the growth of the mining industry in the Muslloka and Parry Sound districts.
 .'The first of the men to be discour- aged in this way at a time when suc- cess seemed to be in his grasp was Judge McCurry, whose experiments were made some 30 years ago. He was enthusiastic, not over the existence of gold or copper, which are attracting at tention now, but of silver, and discov- cred what promised to be a profitable lead. Since that time both gold and copper have been found at different times, but the prospectors lacked the capital to work their leads, and the men of the cities who had the needed means were afraid to invest it because of the adverse opinions given by the experts.
 Not only were there number of leads of copper, gold and silver found, but also of mica. In fact, in many places throughout this district there are immense deposits of mica to be had without any effort but that of picking it up off the ground Most of this mica, however, is of a poor quality, and is either black or is stained with vege- table stain, but by digging little some of excellent quality may be found. This, like our other minerals, has been neglected because the men with the needed means have chosen to accept the geoIogists' statement that the Lauren tian formation could contain no min. erals. But the district owes consider able to mica, for it was for mining that that the first mining company in the district was organized. In addition to the mica leads that have been devel- oped to some extent, it is said that there is a good showing of mica at the southern point of Doe lake, near Scotia Junction, and also in Kahpeekog and Healy lakes, lying between Lake Joseph and Georgian bay. Gold has been found in paying quantities few miles from Baila, on Lake Muskoka, eand smaller leads have been found in other parts of the territory. Around Parry Sound con siderable gold has been found in con- nection with other minerals, and, while these leads have not been worked for

They were also trimmed with jet, and some have q white satin vest embroidered in gold. One of these was Q tight-ftting affair of black silk vel vet with a high rolling collar that had three small ruchings of black satin rib bon, and fastened at the throat with large rosette. Six rows of ruched black satin ribbon at one side of the jacket tapering to the waist line, while on the other side was an applique of jet and black chenille. Two ruchings of the black satin ribbon were around the bot tom of the jacket, and also on the bot tom of the sleeve.
 Another of these velvet jackets was made with large pointed revers that were edged with double ruching of chiffon. There were plaitings of chif- ion that covered the front of the jacket and formed a high collar that was fast ened in front with large velvet bow. On each side of this jacket was an ap- plique of cut steel in large scroll de- sign on fine silk mat.

 One of the fashionable dressmakers of the city was showing to me a few days ago several of the beautiful vel vet gowns he is turning out for the fall. He was enthusiastic over the possibili- ties of the new fabric, and pronounced it the finest innovation the manufac- turers had in dress goods in several years.
 4 very smart reception gown that he showed me was of black velvet made in a princess shape. The skirt had six full ruffies of wide black satin ribbon that was put on quite high on each side so that they formed deep point in the front, with two deep points at the back of the skirt. It had a perfectly plain tight sleeve that fell over the hand in

Coler by accident heard of it only the night before. As it was, the scheme was defeated by tie vote. But every body does not know that this precious plan is not 8 new one. The water schemers have been watching for 15 years to get this deal consummated. It is known who they are-hack politi- clans, every man jack of them. They do not own the Ramapo valley, which they so confidently offer. To show the character of their holdings, it is only necessary to say that the famous Tux edo park lies within the vaAey whose waters they wish to sell, and that the park has been entirely laid out since the alleged company was formed.
 In the briefest terms, this is what is proposed-to bind New York to pay for 40 years the sum of $5, ,000, ,0oo year for quantity of water that, by the figures of the very commissioner who favored the deal would supply the needed in- crease of but four years. Of course the plan has been many times seotched, but never killed.

 Whatever may be said against Rich ard Croler, he knows as well as any man in New York the necessity of ceaseless vigilance. It was he who named Mir Coler, banker and man of large wealth, to act as the watchdog of the biggest treasury of any city in the world for London doesn't spend nearly SC much public money as New York.
 There is no doubt that more water is needed. Some day the cities of the Hudson valley will be compelled to unite and bring a great water main from Lake George or the Adirondacks but it will be public work. The present supply is bad, not big enough and cannot be much increased without going further afeld.

V. A high collar and pointed vest of white tucked satin, and collar that covered the shoulders with deep round- ed ends that fall almost to the waist line, made of heavy white satin. This IS bordered all around with narrow black velvet ribbon. This gown was quite simple but very expensive. When asked the price the dressmaker shrugged his shoulders and mentioned sum that in American money would be close to $400.
 Another reception gown that he showed me was of golden brown velvet made over a petticoat of white broad cloth. This petticoat had scroll de- sign of golden brown chenille. The golden brown velvet falls in deep points and bordered with a piping of white velvet was over the white broadcloth in a short tunic effect. A round yoke with high collar, and tight sleeves of the white broadcloth with the golden brown scroll design.

 1t is just such cases as these, and there have beer several of them, that have caused the people residing in the affected district to forget all other pur- suits and keep them eager in the search for minerals. Men who have few dol lars are spending all of it for land that will be practically valueless unless min eral is found on 1t.

little more than pay for paper, ink and presswork. It probably , costs something like 20 cents to do the mechanical work upon one copy of first-class magazine. Why it's production should cost 40 times ast much as newspaper is to the outsider something of puzzle. Ii is, however, all a question of work and wages. The newspaper is made in 8 day-pictures drawn and etched, type set, presses run at the rate of from 24,000 to 72,000 an hour.
 In a magazine of the first class, the cost of paper and ink is relatively much less, though more expensive quality of paper is used. It is work that costs. The engrayers toll for days over each picture. The forms are made up with the most anxious care. Men spend days, again, underlying" the cuts-pasting little strips of paper so as to bring the pressure in printing exactly where it is most needed. There is experiment after experiment before the presses start. And when all is ready, the ac- tuaI printing must be done very slowly, perhaps at the rate of 1000 an hour. To get the magazine out, several presses have to run the entire month, using electro-plates of the pages as prepared.
 The chief economies in the production of the ten-cent magazines thus far have been bigger circulation, faster printing, and much less expensive methods of picture producing. With their enor- nous circulations, the cheap magazines can be furnished to the trade for six cents, and still leave very slight mar gin of profit.
 Of course all the magazines ex- pect to pay editors, contributors and artists out of the advertising receipts. They will have to do so even more in the future; quarter will be the high est price that can be asked for a popu- lar magazine after this.

Here the summer services will be held; and, when you think of it, why not? Paraphrasing Martin Luther's saying about church music, Dr. Dixon doesn't mean to let the devil have all the good cool roof gardens. Perhaps he has solved the problem of summer church attendance.

TffS HE coming fail season in Paris
 is to be a season of velvets. Not
 the heavy velvet of former years, but new fabric designed Specially for the medium-weight costumes needed during the fall months. In every store one sees these beautiful velvet costumes and jackets. They are shown in the most bewitching colors and modes, and form one of the prettiest displays Paris has seen for many seasons.
 But there are other things besides the yeIvets that promise to be feature of the coming season. Among these are the many golf plaids, both in skirts and golf capes. Another feature is the heavy skirtings made up with the bril- liant plaid backs. In fact plaids prom ise to play an important part in the fall styles.
 But of the velvets. They will be worn both for entire gowns and for separate bodices, and novel effect that is likely to find many admirers is a heavily-cord edvelvet. The colors in this are the same

MC\N NIAR1O, Gan., IS having a R mining craze that threatens to W discount anything the Klondike ever knew. Throughout the northern districts of the province around Georgia bay and the beautiful Muskoka lakes and the MIagnetawan Piver the saw log Ind the summer tourist have been for sotten in the search for minerals.
 AFor many years King Lumber and the summer tourist have reigned supreme in the Georgian bay territory. In fact, t is to the great forests of pine and hem1ock, forests hundreds of miles in extent, that this great territory owes its settlement. Of agricultural possi- bilities there are practically none, and the great trees that tower skyward seem to find foothold in the solid gran te that covers everything. Then came the summer tourist searching for the beauties of wonderful nature that are to be found here in such prolific abun- dance. The lover of the beautiful and grand found in the lakes and rivers and islands and hills all that he could de- sire in 8 summer resting place. The fisherman and the hunter found in the iakes and streams and forests the para lise of which they had dreamed, and tlfen King Lumber had to share the att tentions of the people of the district with the summer and autumn tourist.

In the Euro pean sense of the word, the Van Rensse- laers were gentlemen when the De- peysters were still selling salt codfsh.
 The young man is a broker. He sim ply tired of work, and concluded to take a years vacation. He is a magnificent rider, enlisted with Roosevelt in the war. A travelling wild west show came to the suburb where Van Rensselaer, lived. He went to see the rough riding. Nothing was done that he could not do. He burned to be in the ring. He sought an interview with the manager; he demanded a trial, passed it in triumph, became a member of the troupe, and win travel with it, giving exhibitions.
 Now that is all. If this were book, should say that he loved an Indian maiden in the tepees of the show; or that villain had stolen his fathers will and he was forced to disappear; or that he had lost his memory and would only get it back when Miss de Flyppe, with shriek of joy, recognizing him after weary search of many years, rushed down into the arena and dragged him off his perch on the high horse.
