Death Valley and
It's Burax Mines.

Death Valley is probably the most
unique natural feature in California.
1t is located in the southeast corner Ct
Incyo County, and is inclosed by the
Panamint Mountains on the west and
the Funeral Range on the east 1t is
seventy-fiye miles long, and at its mar
rowest point but eight miles wide.
At one time, most probably, it was
the bed Of an ancient river. The low
est depression is 200 feet below sea-
level, but above this rises Telescope
Peak, 1000 feet high, Of the Pana-
mint Range, and dir ctely opposite the
Funeral Peak. which reaches an alti-
tude Of 5000 feet During the winter
these peaks are covered with snow.
This remarkable valley was discov-
cred in 1850 by a party of immigrants,
many Of whom lost their lives in the
attempt to cross it. The name has
clung to it, also as being the scene of
numberless tragedies. Early in its
history traditions of gold and silver
deposits Of wonderful richness within
its boundaries persuaded many adyen-
turous persons to undertake the haz-
ardous experiment OF its exploration.
The number who lave lost their lives
in this desolate field is undoubtedly
great. Pursuing the mirage Of rich de-
posits of precious metals these adven-
turous prospectors succumbed at last
TO the irtolerable heat and the agonies
Of thirst
The range of the thermometer is
probably greater in Death Valley than
elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere.
In Winter the temperature is way be-
low zero, while in July and August
the thermometer ranges for weeks at
137 degrees above, frequently rising
several degrees higher. For weeks at
q time the lowest level temperature OBJ
served exceeded 100 degrees. The
deadly heat burns every ves,ige Of
vegetation. The Spanish bayonet,

The Empress of China.

A correspondent of the London
Mail writing from Pekiu, describes
an interview granted the wives of
foreign representatives with the Dow
Rger Empress of China in the follow
ing words: In the reception hall the
Dowager Empress, a benevolent look
ing old lady of sixty-four, aud not at
all the relentless virago she is com
monty depicted, was seated on the
raised dais. and on a slightly lower
seat sat the Emperor, who looked
more cheerful than usual, but was
evidently in very feeble health. After
the formal reception the ladies were
conducted into an adjoining room,
where tea and refreshments were
served, and soon after the imperial
pair came in and mingled uncere-
moniously with their guests, saying a
few words to each and shaking hands.
Every time the Dowager Empress
made a remark her Chinese interpre-
ters fell PROSTATE on the ground

A Very suocessful venture.

An abnormally generous womG
went to Europe last summer, leaving
her horses in entire charge of hec
coachman. The coachman, of a prac-
teal turn of mind and with his MS
trass's Iull consent, turned a pre@y
penny b. renting the teams out. Be
fore long she had a letter from him
would she object 20 his setting up a
hearse? There was a great demand
for something Of the sort, new and
smart in the town, and he knew Of
such a nice hearse to be had at half
price; If she wouldn't mind his putting
her horses to it, his fortune would be
made. The aOnormally generous wom-
an wrote back that she was perfectly
willing. A few weeks later she was
rewarded by a letter from the coach
man saying that the hearse, as run
by her horses was the greatest Sue
cess; "people are just dying to get
into IT," lie added.-New York Sun.

Log monse nnilt by women.

Near the border of Moosehead Lake
in Name is a picturesque little log
house, built by four women. They
sawed their own lumber, selecting
spruce trees with their pretty bark as

eighty logs to complete the house and
the women went logging every day
for six weeks to get them. The floor
ing was Of boards and the chinking or
filling in the cracks between the logs
which formed the walls, was done
with tough moss obtained from
around the roots of old trees and
rocks, and hammered into place

finished in rustic style. For the

Father's Horrible Discovery.

While trying to save George Deni-
son, an eight-year-old companion, from
drowning in the Floyd River at Sioux
City, Iowa, George Lewis, aged thin
teen, was also dragged down and died
with his friend. Denlson was bathing
in tie stream, and was supposedly
seized with a cramp. Lewis plunged
in after him when be called for help.
At first it was not known who the lads
were. and the father of Lewis offered
to dive for the bodies. He first brought
up Denison, and on diving a second
time rose with his own son in his arms.

Nerrs. ns EIeelrIcal CondncIors.

It has been believed fer some time
that nerve sensations are electrical in
character. 1t is known at least that
human nerves are electrical conduct
Ors, and that they conduct differently
according to the direction in which
the electric current passes along the
nerve. If a current is passed along 4
nerve away from the nerve centre,
contraction of the muscle follows. IL
the current Is passed in the opposite
direction then there is little or 40 con-
traction.

Chlnou and shlrt waist.

Many of the bodices in light fabrics
are pouched slightly at the back, af-
ter the fashion of three or four sea-
sons ago, and, when upheld by deep
belt, 1T is a becoming style. Accordion
killed hounces are another revival,
and little, fiat, fichu-like collars arr
ranged around the shoulders prevail
among the new blouses as we'll as the
gowns, while raised embroidered knots
of silk form q charming trimming.
For instance, on al exquisite blouse
the white chiffon bolero, appliqued
with deficately embroidered wild
roses, is finished with bands OF black
velvet embroidered with knots of pink
silk, and the under bodice of tucked
white chiffon is stitched with pink and
striped with the knotted velvet. An
other soft, fancy shirt is ofwhite chif-
fon, wholly uuadorned except for the
sprays of red roses with which it is
painted. Every ambitions woman as
pires to q lace shirt waist nowadays,
and particularly splendid example
is of Brussels lace with wee bolero
of cream guipure applique, with
motifs of deep yellow lace spangled
with silver and coque pearls. The
neck and sleeves are transparent.

Chinese Dressmakers.

The sewing, as well as dressmaklng,

There are many amusing stories told
Of them as copyis,s Of the Americans

Shanghai she desired a tailor to copy
from this garment, which was placed
in his hands as a model. He brought
back the garments, exquisite creations
in lace and tucked muslin, and each

garment. Upon having his attention
called to the ugly button his reply was,
"Likee Missy" and he was greatly dis

not appreciated. He had spent many
hours in search for "likee' buttons.
