These be the mornings when even to

brand of pure buckwheat. If possible get
it direct from the mill before it has been

The tulle stock worn by the fortunate wo-
man mentioned at the beginning of the let

Travelling Outfit.
So many and varied are the ways in
which the erstwhile swanlike neck of song
can be decorated that a woman who travels
a great deal told me she could get along
beautifully with a tailor-made gown, coat
and skirt, of course, several shirt waists
and a dozen stocks. For if there was vari-
ETY. in her stocks no one knew that she was
wearing the same gown day after day.
If one still clings to the linen collar 1t
should be borne in mind that no matter
now fluffy or ornamental neck gear may be-
come. the linen collar. when worn where it
can be seen, demands formal tie and stiff
treatment. 1t is enough to make one de-
spair of the taste of the average woman to
see linen collar supporting lace tie; vet

Helping Scanty Locks.
Frames are much used this season for
imparting an appearance of luxuriance to

The princess is said TO possess two false
fronts. one of which is taken off at night
and dispatched to the hairdresser. In the
morning she dons another 'front.' which is
removed at night and in turn sent to the
hairdresser for cleaning and curling. when
the other front is returned. OF course, the
hair is of the very best quality, and the
fronts are made with a skill that renders
it impossible for any one to know that they
are not the wearer's natural hair.
The False Hair Worn.
False fringes and pompadours are now
worn to an extent that is little suspected.
There is such thing as fashion in wearing
false hair. Sometimes it is almost entirely
dispensed with, except by a very few
elderly women. Again, almost every one is
wearing it. Now there exists of the
epidemics during which it is much worn.
AS very few women can afford to send
the false hair to the hairdresser each day,
a false head or dummy should be bought
and the hair pinned on this for cleaning.
A hard toothbrush is the best thing to
scrub with Powder or spirits may be rub
bed into the artificial locks and then
brushed and shaken out To keep the
waves in good condition, take short lengths
of narrow tape, and when the hair is wet
from brushing run this over 1t where the
6epressions appear. In this tape at inter-
walls stick pins that will hold the hair c,ose
to the head. Treat each wave in the same
way and let the tapes remain on until the
hair is dry. Should the arrangement of the
fringe become open to criticism, it may be
made to look fresh and artistic by curling
each strand separately and pinning it to
the kid head of the dummy. After that the
hair should be put in slightly warm oven
and left there al night to dry.
Combs and Ornaments.
Pretty combs of tortoise shell set with
artificial gems make the simplest orna-
ments for the hair, if one may except nat
ural flowers, which again very much

which l have seen for some time was dis

To Produce Raw Silk.

The Chamber Of Commerce Of San
Diego, California, is making an effort
to establish the production Of raw silk
iu the agricultural districts about that
city. Steps have been taken to secure
a large number of silk worms. and
5000 mulberry trees will shortly be
planted. The climate Of Southern
California is deemed even preferable
for this industry to that Of France,
the home of silk culture. The con-
sumption of raw silk in this country
is enormous, and the entire supply
comes from foreign countries, princi-
pally from Japan, China and Italy. In
1899 the total imports of this raw ma
terial were valued at SiS,54G,SI2.

dixie Winter-Did Not Survive.
Henry Wcywich, Of Los Angeles,
Cal, starved to death while winterinS
near Mcpherson Lake on the YeSseZee
River, Alaska. His partner, AL Dom
iny, also Of Los Angeles. was only
saved from similar fate by shooting
moose. He lived upon the meat until
he reached a relief station.
The story of Weywich's death is re-
corded in a little Spanish
Bible, in which he kept a diary, as his
notepaper ran out. Weywich and
Dominy were members of the Sunny
South party which left for the klon-
dixie in 1898 They took the Edmon-
ton trail. and before winter set in all
save Weywich and Dominy turned
back to civilization. Dominy and Wey-
wich struggled on and succeeded in
reaching Mcpherson Lake. where they
built a cabin and prepared to spend
the winter. The mems provisions were
short, but they thought they would
kill enough game to keep them going.
No game appeared, though, and by
January they were on short rations
The rest is best told in entries in the
diary:
January 6-Too weak to so hunting;
cooked q spoonful Of rice, one Of flour
and one of vegetables. Al gave the
leg Of squirrel
At this time the men were living on
two meals q day. Both meals con-
sisted of a thin watery soup. as in
that way they could get all the strength
out of their slender stock Of provisions.
January Sam eating the buds OF
willows. We had little white weaZel
to-day; we are getting weaker and
thinner every day.
January 9-Am starving to death
We had one spoonful of rice, one Of
evaporated vegetables and one of flour
1t is cold and the thermometer is down
TO forty below. How dreary every
thing looks.
January 11-Flour is all gone; no
sign of game. 1t is still showing. We
are living on one spoonful of vegeta-
bles and the tips Of willows"
For five days after the entry Of jan
uary II, Weywich only signed his
name and put down the date. He was
evidently too weak to write. The un-
fortunate man died on January IS.
They had had nothing to eat for few
days previous. Practically they had
had nothing for weeks. Dominy and
Weywich sang hymns and familiar
tunes all the morning. The dying man
gradually relapsed into unconscious
ness, and at 2 o'clock died. His part
ner buried the body few rods away.
Dominy managed to shoot a moose, the
first one they had seen, the same day
that Weywich died.
The last words that Weywich wrote
in the Bible were penned across the
following: "And behold I go in spirit
into Jerusalem, not knowing the things
that shall befall me there"

Guate mala's Bird of Freedom.

"The quetzal, Guatemala's bird Of
freedom" said Colonel I. G. Stuart Of
Kentucky. who has recently returned
from Mexico, "can beat the American
eagle hands down on the score Of plum
age. 1t is indeed n most gorgeous bird,
with a neck glittering in iridescent
splendor and a brilliant five-pronged
tail that makes the rainbow hunt a
dark corner.
Its head is like that Of parrot,
with a powerful and peculiar shaped
bill and its cry is likened to the word
llbertad. which means liberty. The
quetzal adorns the coins, coat-of-arms
and other Guatemala insignia, and the
bird is held in the greatest esteem by
all Guatemalans, and TO kill or capture
it Is akin to treason. One day l was
talking to my friend. Slgnor Villejas
about the quetzal and some of the ira
ditions concerning it, and asked him
II it were really the national law Of
Guatemala that the bird could not be
captured.
Isl, signor, ST. he replied. 1T Is
not only ze national law Of Guatemala,
but it is re national law Of re quetzals
of re birds zemselyes; zey will nos
live in re cage. When ze man capture
re quetzal, which Is not often, and put
re bird in re cage, he utters once re
warning cry "Libertad" and If re man
at once do not atone for re insult TO ze
bird and release him, he once more ut
ters ze warning cry, "Libertad.' Zen
If ze man do not let him go he takes
hold of re bars Of ze cage with his pc
culiar bill and spreading the five
prongs Of his beautiful tail among the
bars on the other side, he breaks his
beautiful neck with twist and
crushes his broken heart. Ze bird will
not live in re cage."-Washington Star.

Ingenious Work of q Versatile Convict.
One of the most ingenious attempts
at escape ever known has just been
nipped in the bud by Warden DOVE, OF
the Utah State Penitentiary. Tie con-
vict who tried the plan is Clarence l..
Maxwell. bank robber, horse thief, au-
thor and inventor, who Is serving an
eighteen-year sentence for the robbery
Of the Springfield Bank in 1888.
Maxwell took a piece Of pipe an inch
in diameter and eight inches long from
the foot railing of his iron bed, bent
the end to form a handle, filled this
with lead. Then he trimmed out the
barrel of the improvised pistol until it
was smooth, and drilled touch hole in
the top. This is as far as he got when
the weapon was discovered. He had
planned a spring which would serve as
q hammer and strike the head or a
match, thus exploding the weapon.
How he accomplished all this IS a
mystery.
His powder was in the heads of par
lor matches ground fine, and his bull
lets pieces of lead and iron. The guards
tested some of the powder N q rifle
and found it effective. 1t is supposed
he intended to escape when he was
being taken into court next month to
testify in a case.-Denyer Republican.
