DISAPPOIN TED MINERS

Seattle-H. Sherman and F. F. Stod-

thirteen organized at Syracuse, N. Y,
returned from Alaska on tho Roanoke.

the country, said that oolors c-uld be
found almost any where, but there was
no pay streak that they could find. No
nuggets could be found the size of II pin
head There was great amount OF
prospecting done in every direction by
the thousand men who spent the winter
on that river.
Sherman thinks that gold dust may
be somewhere ia that country, though
they could not find it, Out of large
number of men who went in and about
Bergman and New Artic City, only about
sixty remained behind to prospect
through the summer.
AS soon as the season opened the dis
appointed miners began to scatter, and
most OF them headed for tho outside.
Provisions and supplies were offered for
sale on all sides and became almost
worthless. Flour was sold as low as So

could scarcely give them uway.

and SO he put her through his % different
sets of dumbbell exercises, adding to their
weight as her strength increased, until she
could swing five-pound bells with perfect
ease.
Taking a set of bells home Miss Dunphy
began exercising before breakfast, and
soon found the work delightful and easy;
her appetite increased, and she began to
long to do greater feats.. For variety
sake her instructor allowed her to learn
several weight-lifting exercises, and found
to his establishment that she could actually
do them, and do them gracefully and firm
ly. From one feat to another she went.

THE TRAILING SKIRT.

Under present conditions the children of
the rich are in more danger from con-
agious diseases than children of the tene-
ments For this misfortune the little child
of affiuence has his fashionable mother to
blame She goes out this season arrayed
in a skirt that sweeps the sidewalks more
effectively than any patent street claiming
device. This filth, gathered up into the
folds of cloth, is carried into the house,
and, as she walks over the rough but lux
urious carpets of her costly home, the
germs of disease and death gathered from
a thousand sidewalks are distributed upon
its surface to be stirred up by every pass
ing footstep or the housemaidss broom.
The mothers of the poor cannot afford
to wear the modish eelskin skirts of costly
fabrics, but must content themselves with
cheap wash goods, and every time the gar
ment goes into the washtub the dangerous
dust and disease germs are effectually
cleansed away.
Most mothers are ignorant of the great
harm that they are doing their children
in wearing these trailing street dresses If
they must be in the mode. they should at
least be thoughtful enough, once warned
to hang their skirts in the open air and
clear them of the dust instead of shaking
the mud upon the carpets.
Any microscope of good power leveled
on section of skirt hem will show a mass
of all sorts of horrible minute organisms
brushed up from the sidewalks, any one
Of which, if breathed into the lungs, would
be enough to implant in the system the
infection of some dangerous disease.
These tight skirts are, moreover, the re-
vetrse of refined They were ungracful
enough when worn with the plaits but the
straight, habit back skirt is grotesque;
it reminds one of nothing so much as some
nightmare poster figure. No matter how
ungenerous nature may have been to
woman, she does not hesitate to don the
tight skirt. and what Providence has de-
MED her in the way of curves she en-
deavors to supplement with padding.

TIE THANKSGIVING
DINNER Table.
Study these Decorations Well and Re
member That a Table Well Laid
and Beautifully Dressed Adds
Greatly to the Success of the
Thanksgiving Dinner.

The old adage that declares table
we'll laid to be table half spread is so
completely the embodiment of a truth
that seems needless to repeat it. Yet
deliberately laid tables and lavish tables
are much more common than well laid
tables.
The one fundamental thing that
makes the holiday task success is a
sense of fitness; a feeling that that task
was arranged for that Gay and is not
one of many which might be good at
any time. Christmas, birthdays, ami
versaries and the like have each some
peculiar symbol or at least allow Of
some sentiment that is all their own,
but Thanksgiving has been so wholly
surrendered to the turkey that it is a
much more difficult day with which to
deal. However, good things can be
done and the table we'll laid in the
truest sense if only one is alert and is
ready to utilize a happy thought. A

worked in its own pale yellow upon
the fine white linen ground. These she
will use in place of mats, and on them
viii stand. not the flowers only, but
such tempting aids to appetite as de-
licious pickles, sailed nuts, olives and
the like. In the very center of the table
will stand large cut glass bowl piled
high with fruit and edged with first .
fringe of dainty ferns and then Of grace
full, lovely overlapping Of wheat and
midway between 1t and each end will be
another arranged after the same man
ner, but somewhat less in size.
The fruit will be big purple and red
grapes, golden oranges and splendid,
rosy checked apples, ane one can hard
ly doubt that the effect will be very
pretty. The flowers will be big chrys-
anthemums of lovely yellow and only
one will be laid before each guest. The
favors, which are all in readiness, are
pincushions and sachets, each copied
from some yellow fruit. There are
golden pippins, long bananas and or
anges, and each one is made of soft
silk, painted in imitation of the model.
Other lovely trifles that are in store
for the day are cornucopias of crimpled
paper and tiny china swans that will
be used as receptacles for flowers.
A BEAUTIFUL TABLE.
The number this time. is only six
teen. The cloth is snowy white and Of
the finest fax. In the centre is a

by the damp sand in which their stems

lucky accident revealed to the writer of
this article one clever woman plans
and curiosity has since led me to in
euire into what could be had and what
the dealers had to offer that would
make table decorated in good taste
and in keeping with the day a possible
as we'll as desirable thing.
FITTING ARRANGEMENTS.
The device of the charming hostess
who will entertain Admiral Dewey set
my thoughts agog. Her plan is really
as excellent as, if not better, than any
other that has been evolved. The num-
Der at table will be twenty all told, but
she insists that in honor of the day one
long table shall be spread and real old
fashioned hospitality shall hold sway.
With her own hands she has embroid-
cred the doilies and center cloth, and
on each is design of fun ripe grain,

are thrust, and protected by tray Of
brass which holds the sand and is it
self hidden by fringe of lovely ferns.
Thanking it at each end are bowls piled
high with purple grapes, purple plums
and just here and there a golden orange
to give splendor and light.
Beneath tlAse and beneath each
guests bouquet are finest dollies work
ed with fine gold thread in purely con-
ventional designs. Before each cover
stands pure white swan, whose hol-
low back is filled with violets, and by
its side is a cornucopia OF violet col
ored paper piled TO overlooking with
candies, fruits, cherries, and the like.
To this is tied the guest card, and it,
together with the swan, makes all the
souvenir the occasion offers.
On the sideboard stands noble lamp,
shaded with soft yellow globe, and its

ficiency is shown up by these terrible gar
ments even the original of the Venus de
Milo herself would not have been beauti-
full in one of them. We hear great deal
about the perfection of the classic Greek
figure, but it is just as well to remember
that the Greek women are clever enough
to wear draperies that concealed as well as
revealed the figure.
Four inches from the ground is a sensi-
bic length for walking; cycling skirts are
from six to eight inches from the ground.
If shorter garments were worn, not only
in rainy weather, but at all times, there
would be less consumption, typhoid fever,
diphtheria and diseases of that character.
There is nouhing that l can say against
the long street skirts that is too severe,
and l predict that on account of them
there will be this winter an unusual
amount of sickness from diseases that can
Je directly traced to them.

ltebt Il - abundant and So sweet that

light Is 50 abundant and 50 sweet that
only candies are set upon the table
proper. These are set in silver candle
labra and are shaded with tiny yellow
shades, so that their light falls down
but never offends the eye. Over the
whole is soft radiance, and the splen-
did big pompons that make the mound
OF flowers, are so suggestive of the
plenty for which we are hidden to Of
fer thanks that the table seems typ
ical one and worthy a place outside of
dreams. Purple is the color OF royalty,
and when it is used judiciously the table
cannot fail to typify the day.
VERY DECORATIVE
Flowers. simply as flowers are lovely
enough to need no other reason for
their use, but on special days special
things seem to have peculiar right,
and grain, fruit, the late blossoms of
autumn, all help to express the spirit
of Thanksgiving Day. Beautiful COM
binations are seen and can be seen
every day of the year, but the claim Of
these set forth is that of fitness rather
than of anything else, and fitness is a
thing to be sought whenever the occa-
sion offers an opening, even be it a diff
cult one to find.
Pumpkins, those glorious yellow
beauties set apart for pies, are uni
versally decorative if rightly used.
Grain, and especially wheat, is fascin-
ating in itself and lovely when embroi-
dered upon fine linen cloth. The sim
plest things that lie close at hand are
susceptible of treatment that means
unique success. All the late fruits are
splendid as decorations as we'll as lus-
cious food. Orange skins followed out
into baskets are certainly not new, but
the same baskets piled up with candfed
cherries are both novel and good.
