sheeting is considered more health

comfortable except in the warmest
weather The old-fashioned way OF
finishing sheets with a narrow rolled
hem at the bottom and a wider nem at
the top prevails. The upper hem
should be Two inches wide and the bot
tom one as small as it can be conven-
iently rolled. This should be done by
the needle with a thread OF about the

A great deal coarser needle and cotton
are sometimes used by sewers who have
never Systematically laid out their
work.
Pillow and bolster cases should be
finished at the side with an over and
over stitch, il the tubular muslin is not
used. Never use machine fell or seam
at this place. It is slovenly finish.
The closed end Of a pillowcase is
stitched together in seam which is
overcast on the inside. Do not fell it;
that hard seam harbors dust and is not
used on underwear or anywhere except
on mems shirts. Finish the open end of
pillow cases with two-inch hem. Boil
ster cases are open at both ends where
they are finished with a two-inch hem.

The impetus which fine needlework
has received in the last dozen years has
been a genuine help in household order.
Great as was the advantage of the COM
ing of the machine, for a long time it
proved almost as much of hindrance
to refined living as it was help. 1t
took a score of years for women to learn
how to adapt machine work where it
was the best, and reject it where it was
a palpable makeshift, for the superior
hand method. The bed linen and table
linen, with its black ridge Of evident
dust along its hem, a ridge that no
laundress could reach and no alkali Of
washing wipe out. was evidence that
hems could not be stitched, but must
be hemmed in the old hand way. Re

A VALUABLE STONE.
An Indian Quarry of steatite Found
and Reopened ON Santa Cata-
lima Island-

The question whether we are ad
Sancing in the mechanical arts and
great schemes of engineering is often
suggested when we are confronted
with the work of the ancients.
The pyramids are the most stupen-
dous works Of man ever contemplated,
and there appears to be nothing new
under the sun. Interest in irrigation
in the southwest dawned within the
past 20 years, yet in Arizona and New
Mexico there are traces of civiliza-
ton so old that The mind falters in
following it back.
Everywhere we follow in the steps
of the ancients, and on the island of
Santa Catalina there is an interesting
illustration of this.
When the whites first visited south
ern California they found in use
among all the mainland Indians rich
ly-shaped ollas or mortars of steatite
or serpentine, while scores of articles
were formed of finer grades of the
same, which experts have pronounced
verde antique.
Verde antique was valuable and
search was made for the point of sup
ply. Finally Prof. Schumacher, of the
Smithsonian institution, discovered it
on Santa Catalina island, which lies
off southern California, in locality
named Potts valley, about Is miles
from the little town of Avalon.
All the islands Of this group were
inhabited by hardy race that had
camps in every canyon where there
was water, and Santa Catalina abounds
in kitchen middens and places where
these people lived. That they were a
commercial race is shown by the ollas
they made, and they were the mer-
chants who supplied the races of |
southern California with their pots
and mortars or ollas.
Prof. Schumacher's attention was at. i,
tracted at Potts valley by the remark
able rock where the scars OF oliss that
have been broken of by the islanders
are plainly seen. The rock is a lofty
mass of steatite that rises in the cen
ter Of Potts valley. now called Empire
landing.
The scars are circular and are the
marks where the round ollas were
broken of The method Of work was
very primitive. the natives having only
slate and quartz knives to work with.
With these rude implements they
carved out an object the shape of a
cannon bali and as large as a football.
Gradually this was picked away until
finally it hung by a narrow stem,
which was broken of. The inside was
hen slowly dug out with the same
rude tools, and in time the ola ac- I
Iuired the smooth and often artistic
orm so familiar in all the museum col
ections.
The early Spanish navigators, Ca

sland 300 years ago, described the

latalina channel. and the natives ex- I
