Pan Amalgamation.

The yetern prospectOr iu Arizona has met discourgments so often that at last they are almost unnoticed. He has many an expcdient. too, that would seem strange to the assaycr or to the man who has learned his mining in a school. Around the camp fire few months ago one old ArizOnan was tell ing how he found the values in some float that ho picked up in southern Nohavc county, near Signal. IL seemed Co be lead sulphuret. looked malleable, and contained no visible gold. The prospcctor took piece Of pound weight, mashed it in a mortar added cyanide and poured in some quicksilver. Then he anal gamated with q stick. He washed the amalgam in pan, and then pressed it in the tail of 6 flannel shirt. He then scOOped out q hole in large potato sufficient tO admit the chunk Of amalgam Then frying pan was pressed into service. In it was placed the potato, with the chunk of amalgam in the center, up side down, and the cooking was con- tlnued for twenty minutes over slow fire. The potato was raised and there was chunk of gold-gold that showed that the ore was even more than rich. The potato had absorbed the quick silver that had not been recovered through the nannel.-Los Angeles Times.
 The above is a very pretty story, but unfortunately that is all there is to it just story, that's all.

II alth Com man Il m en- is.

The requirements Of health can be
counted on the fingers of one hand
They are good air, good food, suitable
clothing, cleanliness and exercise and
rest The first two requirements affect
the blood, and as the blood circulates
all over the body, including the brain,
every part is affected. Fresh air effects
the purity of the blood. The freshest
air is out of doors, and it is the duty
of every one who wishes to be in good
health to spend a certain amount Of
time in the open air. Good food is not
necessarily expensive food. Exercise
and rest should alternate and balance
each other. Women, as a rule, do not
rest sufficiently. Every woman should
try during the day to get few min
utes rest, even if it interferes with her
regular work. 1t is impossible for her
to attend to the health and welfare of
her family if her own health suffers
from overwork and lack of rest. She
should follow her husbands example
Although he is busy all day long, he
generally makes it hard and fast rule
to rest during the evening in the best
way, namely, by change of employ
ment.

Skirts and Waists.

How to finish the skirt to be worn
with shirtwaist is never-ending
problem which, in these days when
skirts must fit as well as waists, is
question that requires careful consid-
grafton. Stout, short-waisted women
should have their skirts cut quite
large in the band, in point in front,
and should wear their skirts over the
waists, with a belt on the skirt as mar
row as can possibly be worn. With the
skirt worn outside the waist, some
times belt that is pointed in the
back, with point going above the
waist-line and then slanted down in
point in front, is the most becom-
ing; but it should never be worn if it
S unbecoming. Slight women can
wear broad belts made of folded peau
de sole or liberty satin ribbon, white
or black as the case may be; but these
too must have the pointed effect in
front, whether they are finished with a
buckle or with bow. The eXaggerat-
ed point in front is rapidly going out
Of style, but there must be some point
and a decided curve from the side of
the waist towards the front. Harper's

Hard Testa of Love.

Among the Arabs of Upper Egypt the
youth who proposes to girl must
submit to whipping at the hands of
her male relatives; and, says a narra-
tor, "if he wishes to be considered
worth having, he must receive the
chastisement, which is sometimes ex-
ceedingly severe, with an expression
C. enjoyment" Notwithstanding it is
the maiden herself who imposes the
test. The Sakalava girls of Madagas-
car make their lovers stand at a short
distance from clever spear-thrower
and catch between the arm and side
every spear thrown at them. If the
youth displays fear OF fails to catch
the spear, he is ignominiously rejected,
but if there be no flinching and the
spears are caught he is at once pro-
claimed an accepted lover"

Post,nen's widows and Orphans.

Widows and orphans of the postmen
of Paris are provided for by the I'm

ject is threefold-first, to care for des-
titute families; second, to pay the
funeral expenses of its members, and,
third, by monthly assessment to pro-
vide pension for those who wish to
retire from it. The organization agrees
to pay to the widow, or. if there be no
widow, to the children, of member
who had died fixed sum, irres pective
of the time during which the member
has belonged. 1t also provides a fixed
SUN for the payment of funeral ex-

The Peferine Rume.

Boas and ruffies are so deep and
wide at the back and on the shoulders
that they become nothing less than
shoulder capes, and, indeed there is
new kind which is really a shaped
sailor collar, of soft embroidery fall
ing over the shoulders, and edged
with net frills, ending in front with
long wide boa ends. These are pretty,
and more becoming to short-necked
people than the round ruf1le, while for
matrons who abhor the elderly mantle,
and yet desire some outdoor covering,
they are the very thing. Net, tulle
and chiffon boas seem to have quite
displaced the once favored ostrich
feather boa, though a really good os-
trich boa, which is by no means syn
onymous with cheapness, is never out

Court Ladies' Pensjoned.

The ladies of Queen Victoria's court
have learned, after a period of some
what anxious waiting, that they are to
receive pensions. That in itself is
something of relief; for many OF
thes ladies, though of high lineage,
were of meagre fortune, and in most
cases had years of faithful and ardu-
Gus service to plead. A maid of honor,
for example, always found her post
richer in honor than in profit. But
the pensions accorded are minute, and
the excuse alleged is the inadequacy
of the provisions for loyal expenses.
For the last two or three years Queen
Victoria failed to meet her official eX-
penditure out of the civil list, and had
to bring up the reserves of her private
fortune.-Woman' Life.

Gloves with Monoerams.

The glove with the monogram of the
wearer on the back of it will find its
way into the scented box on the dress
stitched three ribs on the back of the
glove that have so long been in favor
with fastidious folk, this year the mon
ogram of the wearer will take Their
place. The monogram will be embroi-
dered in either a darker shade of the
same coloring as the glove or in con.
trasting color. The darker shading
of the same color, however, is consid-
cred much better form, and probably
very few monograms embroidered in
contrasting colors will be seen.

Bodices for the most part fall off
the shoulders, but the square neck
is also modish.
The newest coats have the fronts a
little longer than the sides without
being narrow enough to be called
spade-fronted.
Squares, diamonds and disks appear
upon all sorts of lingerie. They are of
lace or embroidery and occasionally
silk is used on the most elegant under
garments.
All tones of violet from deep pansy
to the palest amethyst are among the
seasons favorites. They are used
alone or combined with tea rose pink,
water green or delicate shades of piue

Half length linen and holland coats
are taking to themselves pockets, and
the woman who is fortunate enough
to have a coat long enough will have
at least three of them. The pockets

BasGued coats, cut like a habit be-
hind, are favorites for linen frocks
while for softer materials the coats
end at the waist line in front with
a gathered or plated basque behind
and broad, black sStin waistband.
Red hats with green rims, green

made for use as hat draperies. A red
chiffon, embroidered with green go..

accompaniment of red golf jacket
with green lapels, but scarcely under
any other conditions.

LAND OF THE DRAGON.
Belief In This Unsightly Creature IL
General ~ China

In China the belief in dragons is gen.
eral. There are good and bad dragons
in that land, and while it is easy tC
gain dragons favor, 1t is just as easy
to irritate him. Some dragons live un-
derground. Others fy in the air. Thus
earthquakes are caused 1y under
ground dragons moving themselves
tempestuously. Eclipses are caused by
aerial dragons, wherefore fireworks are
set off and gongs are beaten to fright
en- them. The overflowing of rivers is
imputed to specially bad dragon
named Kiao. One of the Oldest Chinese
books, the Calendar of the Hia, recon-
mends in cases of inundation that the
authorities organize hunt through
the country to discover i capture the
dragon. They always find him. They
tell great dragon story of the pres
ent young Emperor. Some time age
there were drouth and famine in an i'm
portant section of the north. AS, in
spite of many professions in his honor,
the dragon continued to withhold the
rain, the indignant Emperor at last

of the river Hi, in the province of Tor
got. Officials had started to find the
dragon and execute the sentence upon
him, when the latter, with touching
resignation sent word-they do not say
how-that he had started already for
the desert of Tartary. Such an exam
pie of obedience melted the heart" Of
the Pekin Supreme Court. The solemn
mandarins got together and threw
themselves at the feet of the Emperor.
Spare the dragon!" they begged. The
young Emperor was touched in his
turn. The sentence of Punishment was
revoked, and one of the imperial mes.
sengers was sent galloping across the
land to overtake the dragon and ac-
quaint him with his good luck. He

The Emperor Was Polite.

A woman who is OF high social dis
tinction in America was presented to
not attended with royal state. She was
talking to him when she was offered
famous German salad. 1t was hand
ed on her right and the kaiser was on
her left which put her in a predica-
ment. She did not dare turn her face
from the emperor to help herself to
the salad. The situation was too much
for her. The emperor, seeing the con-
dition at a glance, looked at her for
an instant and laughed. as he said:
"a kaiser can wait, but a salad can
not"

The SOCial SalesWOma an.

If all stories are true, writes Lon-
don correspondent of the New York
Herald, some society ladies are adopt
ing curious means of raising the wind
because. as l have said before, there
are those who find the shoe pinching
pretty badly. In fact, it is becoming
quite grievance in certain circles
that so much bartering is going on
within them, ladies being waylaid,
called upon, visited, and even invited
as guests, all with the same object, to
buy goods made ready for sale.
Here is one society lady's terrible
tale of woe:
Wherever you 60" she says, you
are pestered to death to buy barbaric
bead chains, the latest goods on hand.
Originally they were made for saw
ages, but now it is fashionable women
who wear the worthless rubbish. For
there is nothing real or good about
them at all.
A little business is the term every
one uses nowadays. You go out to
luncheon. Opposite you is seated
womSn with rows of these common
beads round her neck You know
what is coming as soCn as she catches
your eye.
Why, you haven't one of these
pretty chains, you poor thing she
will gush. Look at mine. Isn't it
sweet? You really must have one.
| know some one who makes them.
He will send one on to you. They are
wonderfully cheap, only 16 shillings.'
What can you do?
Men suffer just the same. Over the
top of some beautiful flowers or ferns
you see a woman at the other end of
the table holding up her string of
colored beads. You pity the man next
to her, who is trying to wriggle out
of the sellers clutches. But he very
rare4y does.
Only the other day at luncheon I
heard woman saying:
" Now, do give guess. How much
do you think they are?'
- think l know, some one else
broke in; 90 shillings.'
"'Oh, I'm afraid they're little
more than that was the answer. with
a glare at the woman for interfering.
No, they are three guineas. They are
such beautiful things
so the man paid three guineas.
Really, the men are giving these
beads away as wedding presents be-
cause they don't know what to do
with the chains they are forced to
buy. A girl who was married the
ether day received no less than seven
OF these chains. Before the chains
came up, lamp shades of apple blossom
hue were always being forced on ones
notice. The loveliest lamp shades
in the world are to be bought at So
and-so's. You say | told you, or say
you want one like mine your hostess
or guest would suggest. Afterward
you would discover that she made
them herself and supplied the shop
where they were sold on small COM
