A good story is going the round,
about how two prospectors had saltet
a mine in the Galena district in orde,
TO rob couple of rich widows, which
resulted in the aforesaid widows be
coming much wealtheir.
The prospectors had spent their las
cent in digging a hole in the grounf
to the extent of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one q

Sinbad's experience with the mag

struction might have occurred in the
Hebrldes Islands, as recent investiga-
tions show that these islands possess
strange magnetic properties. On the
Isle of Skye is this particularly pro-
nounced. At almost any point on this

Straps Are Smart.

A favorite mode OF smartening a
cloth costume is to trim the edge OF
seam across the chest with series OF
buttons and straps. This is not the
somewhat passe mode of strapping
across an open blouse or lace front,
but occurs where the jacket is double
breasted, and the little straps are set
on beneath the hemmed edge. They all
have one worked button hole, which
fastens over button placed in the
blouse. Only an inch-anda-half of the
strap is permitted to show. Where the
straps are properly set on they resem.

New Safety Matches.

A German named Priester has in
vented new inflammable matter fol
safety matches, which has great ad
vantages over the material now in use
It's base is sulphide Of zinc, which is
obtained by the melting of oxide OF
zinc with sulphur. The employment
of sulphide of zinc does away with the
necessity CT using the chromate
which was formerly held indispensa
Bile. and which has the great disadvan-
tage Of being exceedingly poisonous
The new preparation has the further
advantage of igniting very readily on
the prepared surface, and does not
crumble away so easily as a prepara
tion containing other sulphides.

Skirt. With Circular PIeatsd Fiounce.

Every indication points to continued.
and even augmented, favor for the
shaped circular fiounce. The latest I'M
portations show many variations, but
none more graceful or elegant than
the May Manton model illustrated. The
plain front gore does away with the
one objection to which fiounces are
open. that of curtailing the height.
The skirt is cut in five cores and fits
with perfect smoothness at the upper
portion, the fulness at the back being
laid in an inverted pleat.

oval figures on a white ground or vice

ssverai Capitalists Are Now Engaged in

The starting Of new great country
estate is always matter of interest
says Harpers Weekly. The tendency
IN rich city men toward that sort of en-
largement is Of recent growth, and it
is natural that there should be ex-
amples of it in increasing numbers
near New York. f. H. Hartman, rail-
way giant-the same enterprising man
who carried a ship load of scientists to
Alaska in 1899-has bought himself
2O,OOO acres of land in Orange and
Rockland counties. New York. to the
west and north Of Tuxedo and edging
over toward Goshen. Orange county is
stlll famous for its butter and Mr.
Hartman doubtless intends to keep a
COW. His further intentions have not
as yet transpired except as shown by
considerable investments in roads
Much of the fun in owning a farm two
miles square lies doubtless in planning
what to do with it. Mr.. Carnegie, whose
commodious dwelling on upper Fifth
avenue is already the biggest house in
town, is building himself another in
Westchester county near the ST. An
drew's golf links, but has not vet given
evidence of an acute attack of land
munger. Mr.. Whitney has 1000 acres
on Long Island, nearly twice as many
on october mountain and a big tract
in the North woods. and there are
many other estates of from 500 to 5000
acres on Long island and near the
Hudson. DIR. Webb has elbow room at
Shelhonrne and leg room in the Adj
rondacks, but the greatest and most in.
teresting of American estates seems
still to be Mr.. Vanderbilt's Biltmore in
North Carolina. There will be great
sights in architecture, horticulture. ae-
riculture, Horticulture and all the allied
industries and arts to be seen in this
country fifty years from now if the
steel business and railroad business
continue to flourish and government

FremSkridtskvinde.

The new woman in Denmark calls
herself fremskridtskvinde, or woman
of progress, and if we are to believe a
writer in the Boston Transcript, who
seems to know about hel, she main.
talns her claim to the title only by
sacrificing her best womanly instincts
She is, in other words. rather too ad-
vanced to be of any real benefit to So
clety. We are informed that she an
parently despises the homely arts of
her grandmother and by way of DEM
onstrating her originality fills her
house with tobacco smoke and politics.
She is prone. says the writer. to re-
gard the rearing of family as a rath-
er 1rksome and ungrateful task i'm
posed upon her sex, and she is becom-
ing even more jealous of the seeming

At the present moment, when tn
efficiency Of our army in South Afro
largely depends on the stability OF its
transport, II may not be amiss to con-
slider tie capabilities of the trek,
transport OK, who, after all. despite
mules and traction engines, is the
mainstay Of South African transport,
says the Pail Mall Gazette. The imperi-
al authorities in the Cape Colony and
Natal are now busily engaged in buy
Ing all the available OK transport they
can, as is testified by their numerou j
advertisements in Colonial papers
Oxen are less expensive than mules.
They are slow, but sure, never doing
more than three miles an hour, or
twenty miles day, which is consid-
cred a good trek. The Zulu OK l.; the
best bred animal, but small and unser-
viceable when compared with the bas-
tard Zulu or Natal OK, which thrives
on both the "sour" welt or coast grass
and the "sweet" or up-country veldt
Oxen, however, require very careful
handling, and mus. on no account be
overdriven; they must have at least
SIX hours day for grazing purposes.
In the winter they can find picking
on the parched veldt where a mule or
horse would fail. They are naturally in
poor condition till the green grass Of
the spring arrives in September. They
are very liable to lung sickness and
red water. and whole spans sometimes
perish from these fell diseases. In the
winter time they suffer terribly from
the cold, and on no account should they
be worked in the rain during that sea-
son, for, among other things, the yoke
when wet gives them sore necks, thus
rendering them useless The oxs best
work is done at night time. and moon
light tricks are the usual thing with
transport riders" after their teams
nave been grazing all day. They are
never kept under the yoke for more
than eight hours during the day, two
stretches of four hours each From 4
o'clock to in the morning and from
o'clock to 10 at night are the favorite
hours for trekking. AS to their haul
