THE CITY WOMAN'S OUTING.
The Country, with Its Healthy Pleas
ures and Quiet Content, Brings
the Best Returns.

What the average American womna
who lives in the city needs most of all
in the summer is an entire change
from what constitutes her life during
the winter, writes Edward Box, in La
dies Home Journal She wants pleas
ure, for that is good for all of us in
moderate quantities, and particularly
for the housekeeper. She needs those
healthy pleasures and that quiet con-
tent which enable her to occupy her
mind with the things around her and
shut out all thought of the life behind
her and that which is before her, so
that when she is ready to go back to
her home she can take up her duties
again with vigor and zest born of
new strength and fresh energy The
last thing she ought to think of is the
question of dress. She should have
complete immunity from that of all
things. Now, every sensible woman
knows that this rest and freedom from
dress and conventionality are what her
being requires, and she likewise knows
that these things are not to be had t
the average summer hotel. Then let
her keep herself and her children far
away from this evil of our summers.
She will save herself, her children and
her money, and for what she eXpends
in quieter way in some real country
place, where the conventionalities and
the evils that follow in their train are
absent, she will get double and triple

SAMOA WITHOUT MINERALS.
Wild stories of Collaborating Sands
Denied by Committeeman
Osborn.

Consul General Osborne at Samoa
writes to the state department., says a
Washington report:
There have been so many letters of
inquiry sent to this office concerning
the discovery of gold and other pre-
cious metals in these islands that / feel
it my duty to report upon the subject.
United States papers have published
statements in regard to the gold-bear-
ing sands of Samoa, and it appears that
many people have paid for expenses of
development, etc. | have from time to
time made Investigations, and if there
are minerals-either gold, silver, mica,
nickel, zine, tin, or any other-in these
islands, have been unable to find them
or to find any person who has any
knowledge of the fact. If there is any
gold mining company of Apia' (as re-
ported in United States papers), the
records do not disclose the fact, and
the officials have no information upon
the subject. No steamers, schooners
or other vessels are engaged in trans
porting sands or ores to Sydney, or to
San Francisco, or elsewhere; no such
persons as those named as constitut-
ing the 'gold-mining company are
known here, and, in my judgment, ire
mendous swindle is being perpetrated
and the public ought to know the
facts"

LOST MASTERPIECES.
Other Famous Paintings Besides the
GainsbOrOugh Work Have
Been Stolen.

Gainsborough's Duchess of Devon
shire, which will probably find its last
resting place in the Metropolitan mu-
scum of art, in this city, is not the only
great painting which has been stolen,
says the New York Herald. A por-
trait of the countess of Derby disap-
peared shortly after it was painted by
Sir Joshua Reynolds. Rewards for it's
return were vainly offered. The final
conclusion was that the then earl of
Derby, who had quarreled with his
wife at the time the picture was paint
ed, had destroyed it.
The celebrated Field of the Cloth of
Gold" was never stolen outright, but
an important part of it was extracted.
The theft was discovered when Crom-
well opened negotiations with a for
eign dealer for the sale of some of the
| pictures of Charles l. On this partic-
ular picture being examined, one of
the principal faces, that of Henry
Will, was missed. 1t had been deX-
terously cut out, and upon the res
toration the thief, nobleman of note,
handed it back to Charles ii. in a per-
feet state of preservation. His object
had been to prevent the picture going
out of the country.
Lord Crewe has picture which was
lost and recovered in a remarka BILE
manner. An ancestor of his had pic
ture painted of his son and daughter
in which the son posed as Cupid. Many
years afterward the father and son
quarreled, and the younger man, out
of revenge, caused the Cupid to be cut
out of the canvas. The piece knocked
about unheard of for over 100 years.
A dealer who had seen an engraving of
the original happened to get hold of it
some few years ago, and he at once
communicated with Lord Crewe.

A FAWN AT HOME,
One of the Prettiest and PIeasantest
Sights in All the Wilder
ness,

One of the prettiest bits of animal
time is in Mr., William Davenport HUI
bert's article, ''The Deer" in McClure's
Magazine. 1t is fawn which he is
describing:
"To see the baby promenading up
and down the shore, with his mother
looking on, was one of the prettiest
and pleasantest sights in all the
wilderness. The ground color of his
coat was bright bay red somewhat
like the summer dress which the doe
wore, but deeper and richer and hand
somer, and with pure white spots ar
ranged in irregular rows all along his
neck and back and sides. He was so
sleek and polished that he fairly
glistened in the sunshine, like a we'll
groomed horse; his great dark eyes
were brighter than girls at her first
ball; and his ears were almost as big
as mules, and million times as
pretty. But best and most beautiful
of all was the marvellous life and grace
and spirit of every pose and motion.
When he walked, his slender head and
neck were thrust forward at every
step with the daintiest gesture imag-
Unable, and his tiny pointed hoofs
touched the ground so lightly, and
were away again so quickly, that you
hardly knew what they had done. If
he was startled he would stamp his
fore foot on the hard sand, and toss
his head in the air with an expression
that was not fear, but alertness, and
even defiance. And when he leaped and
ran-but there's no use in trying to de-
scribe that"

NO MORE CANNED CRAB.
Only Man Who Knew How to Can the
Meat Is Dend-May Not Have
Told the Secret

james McMenamin, the only success
ful Gamer of crab meat in the world,
has Just died in the hospital at Ba,ti-
more, and it is feared that his secret
has died with him, reports New York
exchange He is believed to have made
81 100000 out of crab canning by run
ming large cannery at Hampton, Va.
for six months in the year, but he kept
the process hidden even from his work
people, and unless his will divulges it
or he confided the secret to his sons
before his death, the canning plant will
have to be shut down and nobody may
ever know why its proprietor succeed
ed where others failed. =
Mr.. McMenamin went to Virginia
from Massachusetts in 1878. While
working as a clerk for Mayor White
head, of Norfolk, it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing its flavor and Mayor
Whitehead helped him to establish a
small cannery at Hampton. In time the
small cannery was replaced with big
ger one, but never has the big one been
able to meet all the demands upon it
for canned crab meat.
During the six months of the year
when the cannery was open the pro-
prietor was the busiest man in it. A
large force of colored women picked
the meat from the crabs. It was sent
to locked room in which Mr.. McMen-
amin personally attended to it's prepa-
ration. Then it was sealed in the cans.
Last year the demand for canned
crab meat was Unprecedented and the
man with the secret, when he died,
was wondering how he could increase

AN UNINTENTIONAL DONATION
The StenOgrapher Knew What to Do

The sharp-nosed man looked dubi-
