ARGENTINE WELSH.
A Colony of 1000 Souls Planted in
That Republic Thirty-Five
Years Ago.

The British colonial office was re-
Gently astonished to receive from the
town of Chubut, in the Argentine Re-
public, memorial signed by some
5000 persons with Welsh names, ask
ing what provision the government
would make and what inducements
would be offered for their migration
to South Africa. says the New York
Times.
An examina tion of the matter showed
that there was a Welsh settlement in
Argentine supporting a fiourishing pop
ulation of more than 1000. souls, and
that this had resulted from party
of Nonconformist Welsh, who had
emigrated to South Africa in 1865. The
settlement, it seems, occupies large
tract of land south of the Chubut val
ley. in the neighborhood of Lake Col
huape. This was divided into quar-
ter-league lots which were given only
to Argentine citizens who had no free
grants, and many of the Welsh col
onists became naturalized in order tc
take advantage of the regulation.
Commodore Groome. writing from
the Flora. at Montevideo. on July 4
last, reported that much damage had
been done by floods. but that the gov
eminent seemed to have behaved very
generously. There has been large and
increasing influx of Argentines and
Italians in the last few years. and there
had been a good many marriages be-
tween them and the Welsh, SO he should
think that probably in generation OF
so the Welsh part-cf the community
as separate body, would have al
most disappeared. The trade must be
increasing greatly. he said, though n ow
not confined to the Welsh, but largely
in the hands of the Argentines and 1tal
ians. He had been told that an aver.

ital to start themselves with, and were

He thought that, considering that, with
very few exceptions, all the Welsh
who had gone out to Chubut were OF
the poorest description, they had done
very well for themselves. Many were
now in comfortable circumstances, and
could afford to go home and visit their
country. One workingman told me

THE FINGER PURSE.
Adaptation to the Needs of Women
of a Coin Holder for
Men.

"Yes," said the artist in leather
goods, looking lovingly at a finger
purse he held in his hand, says the
New York Sun, sit is beauty and
81 is a small price for it. It's the
latest thing in finger purses. Curious,
isn't it, how that particular kind of
purse came into favor. 1t wasn't an
invention, you know, simply an adap-
tation. We have had finger purses
in this shop for 20 years, but we
didn't call them finger purses, though.
You've seen men use them hundred
times.
THAT'S the original of the finger
purse" he continued, taking from
the show case leather purse similar
to the one he held in his hand, but
smaller. This is what men have
been using. The English form of it,
from which probably we borrowed
ours, is called buckskin. The buck
skin has no strap by which to hold
it, though. Now, just trace the evolu-
ton of the finger purse. 1t was
adopted in the first place from Eng
land. and in our edition of it was fur
nished with strap. The mans
purse, you see, has no pocket in the
back, and the compartment in the
Inside is without gusset, see? 1t is
stitched close to the back. The idea
was to use it only for silver. The
cross strap was meant simply to hold
the flap down. But one day some
absent-minded woman, playing with
one of these purses. slipped the strap
over her forefinger, saw the conven-
fence of it and straightway turned
an accidental discovery into a fad.
"At first women had to take mems
purses as they found them. A woman
can't resist the temptation of stuffing
her pocketbook with all sorts of
things. She puts her cards into it
first, then slips in the address that
her friend gives her in the street.
She must have in it, too, the bill she
is going to pay that morning, and
where is she going to put the half
dozen samples she has culled out of
the stores as the result of a morn
ing's work, if not in her pocketbook?
The finger purse was not adapted to
such usage. so gussets were put in to
allow stretching room for the COM
partments. The next Improvement
was made this year. Manufacturers
saw that coin pocket inside. shut
ting with clasp, would render the
little purse much more practical, and
now almost any finger purse you see
has that pocket"

bitterest enemies will then be those
who have hitherto used the crown as
an instrument to further their own
ends, and who, looking upon his child

thing if the anti-monarchists should

GOLD HoARDED EY MISERs.
Through Them Millions in Yellow
Coin Disappear Annually from
Circulation.

The world is full of millions and
millions OF long-lost sovereigns. A
competent authority has just COM
pleted some Investigations which, he
declares, show that in three years
the Bank of England has lost trace OF
no fewer than 20,000,000 golden coins
OF the realm. This wholesale disappear.
ance of the elusive sovereign has been
going on for years. A river of gold
has flowed INCREASINGLY from Thread
needle street to all parts of the word
but it has come back only tiny yell
low streamlet. What has become of
the surplus in it's wanderings?
"Misers" is the unpoetical explanation
for a greater part of this disappear
ance. There still exist in this and
other countries people who are I'M
businesslike enough to hoard up gold
and keep it lying idle by them for the
sole pleasure of knowing it is there
and occasionally counting it, says the
London Mail.
The people of India appear to be
particularly addicted to habit that
is more reminiscent of medieval times
than of an age when money is gener-
ally saved so that more can be made
with it. In the regency of Bombay it
is estimated that 100000 golden SOW
ereigns are boarded. If that is the
record of Bombay alone what is the
full tale for the whole. country?
China, too absorbs vast amount of
gold that never sees the light again.
AS a matter of fact, while the whole
world is searching for and trying to
acquire gold, a goodly part of it ap-
pears to be engaged in the less thrill
ing pastime of hiding it away.
Great Britain is not guiltless of this
commercial sin. Dotted all over the
kingdom are graveyards of gold
which if discovered and opened might
restore to circulation vast amount
of wealth at present absolutely use
less. At a spot about two miles from
Herefordshire Beacon a treasure chest
is recorded in the local history as
having been buried by great fam
lily once resident in the district. But
the money cannot be found. There
is a similar record in connection with
Hume castle, formerly a branch of
the Prestwioh family. Somewhere
near Stokesey castle, Shropshire,
there is believed to be hidden great
oaken chest filled with gold coins, but
up to the present all efforts to find
it have ended in failure.

DOMESTIC ODDS AND ENDS.
A Budget of Information for the Use

A preventive Of frostbitten plants is
cured by sinking one flower pot inside
another. A plant thus guarded will
stand much lover temperature than
one in a single pot, says the st. Louis
Republic.
A simple test for the heat or lard
used in deep frying is to drop in
piece of bread. If it browns while 60
can be counted the fat is hot enough for
raw material; if it browns while 40 is
counted, the heat of the lard is suffi-
cient for articles prepared from cooked
material such as croquettes, etc. While
trained cooks and cooking teachers use
thermometers to test the heat, many
housekeepers consider this method
rather formidable and prefer the, to
them, simpler way.
The newest undersleeves look ex-
ceedingly odd and old-fashioned. The
first of these revived accessories were
dainty and small; the latest styles are
large, full, pear-shaped puffs that
Seaoh from wrist to elbow, and the bell
sleeve above is, therefore, cut very
short. These are called Victorian
shapes, and the Queen Anne models
have two puffs from the elbow, the top
one fastened with rosettes; the lower
one, finished with many shirrings,
making it fit the wrist with an expand
ing cuff beyond reaching over the
hand.
In many houses the breakfast and
luncheon tables are laid without a
table cloth, many mistresses prefer
ring to see the glitter of glass and sill
yer reflected in the highly polished
wood of the table. One woman sets her
table with large square center piece,
so large that when put in diamond
shape the points reach the edge of the
table at the sides. Then at her end of
the table large carving cloth is laid;
otherwise the table is bare, as she says
that the bottoms of fine china plates
are always smoothly finished, so that
there+is no necessity of plate doilies.
The hot dishes are served from the
side table, where an asbestos mat is
laid beneath the linen cover.
Nothing is more perplexing than the
daily answer to the daily question in
most households: "What shall we
have for dinner?" In one household
where this dilemma was frequently
presented the husband proved equal to
the solution. He said nothing, but for
a month-kept quiet note of the dinner
menu, as each was served in it's turn.
At the end of the month the list was
typewriter, pasted upon a piece of
pasteboard and carried home to his
wife, to her surprise and relief. AS
every housekeeper knows, the question
is troublesome because one does not
readily recall, at the moment when il
must be decided, the possibilities Of
choice. This easily read list was found
to be most suggestive, and its duplica-
ton is recommended to other per-
picked housekeepers.

LEGEND OF ARCTIC NIGHTS.
How the Green1andeRs Account 10
Their Long Season of
Darkness.

A member of one of the forme:
Peary expeditions to Greenland
tells of a curious tradition of the Els
hmos to account for the long arctic
night and its intense cold, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
There was a time" they say
"long generations ago. when the sur

Hence it was. that peace and plenty
fell to the lot of this people and sor

ing among the trees, as was theil
custom throughout their wakeful
hours, a beautiful canoe, as white as
ivory, was seen drifting silently to-
ward the shore from the direction OF
the castle where dwelt the spirit OF
the winds.
"Now, when the ivory white canoe
had hoated quite up to the shore, a
great awe fell upon the people, fca
there, fast asleep among the folds OF
an ermine robe, lay beautiful maid.
en-, whose skin was as fair as. the
snow flower and whose hair was like
q mantle of sunshine. But when the
chief had borne the maiden to the
shore and questioned her whence she
came he was troubled in his heart, fo1
she had answered him:
az am Delta, the daughter of the
spirit of the winds, and / have drifted
here from yonder snow-white castle in
the north. But l will return there no
more. Henceforth my home shall be
with you and your people,
"And Immediately the spirit of the
winds arose in the north and in a ter.
rible voice commanded that his
daughter be restored to him immedi.
ately. But when the people of the
tribe sought out their chief and
counseled him. to give the princes
into her fathers hands the youth
stood mute before them. Then, in ODE.
dience to gesture, they entered his
ruined house, and there on a couch
lay the beautiful princess, with her
white hands winter than the snow
fowers-folded silently over her
breast.
when the spirit of the winds
looked forth and beheld the princess
cold in death on the desolate strand
his anger was yet more terrible
against the kneeling multitude and
he commanded darkness to come
down upon them. And the ice, and the
cold and the darkness continued fol-
the space of many days before the of
Tended spirit would relent and suffer
the sunshine to return for a briei
season."
