POstillion tabs on the jackets of new
tailor costumes, lined with ivory silk,
are finished with very ornate buttons
of enameled silver. On a gown of leaf
green cloth the buttons are of silver
and green enamel, and the Louis coat
is laid an applique band of cream-white
is edged with green velvet, over which
cut cloth, says the New York Post.
While it is undoubtedly true that
silk and satin brocades, Lyons woven
matelasses and other costly and ele-
giant figured materials are to be among
the dominant modes for elaborate
evening dress, it does not mean thai
the old-style, stand-alOne qualities are
to be revived, for this is far from being
the case. The soft, clinging brocades
are of the richest quality and purest
silk, but they are eminently dainty and
feminine, with fascinating grace, a
wondrOus luster and an artistic me-
lange of pastel of more pronounced
oriental colors; but there remains a
total absence of any sort of stiff or
why effect in any of the latest French
weaves.
Tiny ruches of silk or of the dress
material pinked at the edges are the
fashionable trimming for the newest

slightly bloused below, while a fan
shaped cluster of graduated tucks is
arranged at each side of the center of
the back. The cuffs of the bishop
sleeves and the stock collar are of
brier-stitched silk, the shade of the
waist. The belt is also of silk. as one

INDIANS HOLD COAL LANDS.
Deposits in Indian Territory Held bJ
Them Are of Immense
Value.

Some idea of the value of the coal
deposits in Indian territory can be
gained when it is known the average
thickness of the vein is four feet,
which will produce 1000 tons an acre.
These lands are leased in lots of $50
acres each, which means that $780,
600 to 100000 tons can be produced
by those leasing the land. On this
output the lessees pay a royalty of
eight cents a ton. The output during
the last year was 1000, 127, as against
1,4OO,442 tons the previous year. In
order to protect the interests of the
Chickasaw and Choctaw Indians, the
policy of the interior department has
been to grant leases for coal mining
operations in the territory only to
such persons or corporations as will
furnish satisfactory evidence that the
applications for the leases are made
in good faith, for operative as against
speculative purposes, with satisfac-
tory evidence that a market will be
provided to the extent of fair esti-
mate for the coal covered by the lease.
The purpose of the department is
to secure the rightful owners of the
coal the full amount which the oper-
ators would, under the law and in JUS
tice to the owner, pay for the privi-
lege granted. These leases run for
80 years.
Owing to the rich deposits leases are
granted to such an extent and upon
such terms as will avoid tying up this
valuable property, and by doing so
rendering it unproductive for the long
period called for in the leases. This
is done for the further purpose of pre-
venting the use of these leases for col
lateral assets for the purpose of build
ing railroads through the territory.

THE HOME HOSPITAL.
~Ad Reserved for Nursing
the Sick.


1t mas been suggested by latter-day
sanitarians that the plan of all houses
in the future should include one room
especially for use in illness-a hospita,
room. 1t is urged that this could be
done without any great additional ex-
penditure of money or loss of space,
because such room could be used as
an ordinary bedroom until the time
came to turn it into a s5ck-room, says
Youths Companion.
Where such room is out of the
question it is not a difficult matter to
prepare hygienic room for sick nurs-
ing in the average house or apartment,
if certain necessary conditions are
borne in mind.
In the first place, the best room, in
the sense of best lighted and venti-
lated, should be reserved for this pur-
pose. 1t should get direct sunlight
for some part of every day, and there
should be provision for free ingress
and egresS of air.
The next consideration is the doing
away with draperies and upholstery.
In a case of severe acute illness, fevers
and the like, it is most important that
there should be no dust-catching, stuff
fly materials about; the bed should be
of metal, the necessary articles of
furniture should be washable, as also
the floor, and, if possible, even the
walls.
The new sanitary wallpapers are
good in design; a simple painted wall
need not be inartistic, and walls that
will bear washing do not imply bare
desolation. A hardwood floor, or a
common stained one, can easily be
wiped each day with a damp cloth
wrung out of a weak solution of
bichloride of mercury; plain chairs
and tables and the metal bed can be
treated in the same manner. All rugs
should be carried away, and felt shoes
should be worn if the bare floors cause
noise.
Il is important to remember that
utensils should never be emptied and
cleansed in the sick-room. They
should be taken outside, and before
they are brought back a little clean
water, to which has been added some
antiseptic solution, such as carbolic
acid or chlorides, should be poured into
them.
Finally, if one is suddenly called to
lake charge of a sick-rOom, it should
never be forgotten that there is no i'll
ness to which fresh air is a menace;
that the more freely it can b. admitted
by day and by night, without blowing
directly on the bed, the more chance
the patient has OF a good recovery.
1t should be remembered also that a
damp cloth, as a cleansing agent, is
worth all the brooms and feather dus-
ters ever invented. and that little
common sense is better than much
paraphernalia.

WANTS NEW LAWS.
snIhigratiOn Commissioners Powder
Iy Desires Scope of His Bureau
Enlarged TO correct an Evil.

For the purpose of preventing the
abuses of the naturalization laws,
Commissioner Powderly, wants the
scope of the bureau of immigration
enlarged to embrace a record of de-
oarture of aliens and he desires legis-
ation providing for the use of such
data obtained by the immigration Of
icials as would prevent the violation
Of those laws.
Mr.. POwderly has recommended al
ready that congress enact legislation
Of this character. In discussing this
subject Mr.. Powderly used rather
strong language. He said: The
naturalization of aliens, which should
be one of the most important func-
tons of somebody, now is left to no
body until the alien himself thinks
fit, or some politician, who expects
to think and vote for him, believes
he should become a citizen. Then the
courts are appealed to, but no other
tribunal has anything to do or say in
the matter"
The commissions thinks the diff
Guilty could be removed in a measure
by requiring an alien, on his arrival,
to say if it is his purpose ultimately
to renounce allegiance to his own
country and become an American cit
izen. If the alien answers in the af-
firmative, the commissioner says, it
should be made matter of record
which should be used at the eXpira-
ton of the five years residence re-
quired before naturalization papers
are given. If, on the other hand, the
alien declares il is not his intention
to become naturalized he should be
required to state his purpose in COM
ing and this fact should be recorded.
''In either case" said Mr.. Powder
ly, "the greatest care should be ex-
ercised in ascertaining his fitness to
land"

said the young woman.
He thought over that for a moment,
and tken asked her if she had eaten.

His eyebrows lifted. This was new
style-to him. She was simply natural
and unaffected-not bold. He had no
thought of presuming. He respected
her from the very beginning.

cHeimweh" What a tender feeling
Surges in the wanderers heart
At this word Long-vanished pictures
From sweet "memory's casket" start!
Home, that little low-eaved dwelling,
Mother sitting in her chair,
Father, brothers. sisters, playmateS,
And the happy welcome there.
''Heimwehv' Oh, the world is dreary,
Cold and selfish so 1T seems;
Hours Of ease and fame and fortune
Are but childhood s golden dreams,
Dreams, that like the Sodom apples,
Turn to ashes cold and gray,
Leaving but a weary pilgrim
Longing for his childhood's day.
'Heimweh!' He may yearn forever!
Broken is the little band
Gathered once around the fireside.
In his own 'lieb Heimathland;"
Some are out upon life's ocean,
Battling iercely on the deep.
Some within the quiet churchyard
Silent lie in that last sleep.
"Heimweh!' Is there then no comfort?
Is his happiness all past?
Weary, lonely, heart-sick wanderer,
Peace and joy shall come a last!
Here shall change to blest hereafter,
Rest reward all those who roam;
In the mansion of Our Father"
We shall find a perfect home

French Proverbs.

Among the French are some apt
proverbs that go directly to the point.
The following, translated by Mar
garet Harrison, seem to have lost
none of their wit by being put into
English:
The first and worst of all frauds is
to cheat ones self.
To be happy one must have nothing
to forget.
A good intention makes but a short
ladder.
Happy is he who is not obliged to
sacrifice anyone to duty.
For all misfortunes there are two
remedies-time and silence.
Indifference is the heart sleeping.
The greatest, the strongest, above
all the cleverest man, is he who
knows how to wait.
The sorrows of to-day make the
happiness of tomorrow.

So he gave the waiter a dollar, and

down to the Yosemite with the rest of

would be at home when he got better.
Next day he noticed a bunch of pam
sizes by his pillow.
"Who sent them?" he asked.
"The young lady," said the nurse.
''She didn't go on to the Yosemite with
the rest of the party"
"Teu her to come in, and read to

She came, but he did not hear any

Getting Money Under False Pretcnse,

Getting Money Under False Pretcnses
The comment of the village critic in
MASSACHUSETTS,, who remarked after a
performance by the Chicago orchestra
that cit is long ways to Bring a drum
from Chicago just to hit it once"
calls to mind the excitement of Kan
sas City at the first performance of
Italian opera.
The sale opened at eight in the
morning and the night before half the
town camped out in order to be early
at the boX-Office. One of the richest
men in the country round about was
Uncle Andrew, and he shared in the
general excitement although he ''let
on" that he was going merely to please
his wife.
The night of the entertainment On.
Gle Andrew arrayed himself in his very
best clothes and was one of the first to
arrive. The opera was 'Lucia di LaCn-
mermoor," and the cast was we'll Ill
vided among Italians, Germans, French
and English. A few minutes before
nine o'clock the street door opened,
and Uncle Andrew appeared. He
walked solemnly back to the end of
the room, pulled chair before the
CRATE fire and sat down to smoke.
''Hello, Uncle Andrew" said one of
the younger members, 81 thought you
were at the opera"
"Been," replied the old gentleman,
shortly.
Didn't you enjoy ftp"
ENJOY it?' Uncle Andrew plainly
showed his deep disgust at the ques-
ton. Enjoy it? Why, young man,
