Miss Estelle Reel, national superintend-
ent of Indian schools, has now in the
hands of the government printer a course
which has been pronounced the best and
strongest ever devised for the peculiar
educational system of the Indian office.
The course treats of thirty-one subjects,
and. aside from the literary branches, it
embraces instruction in agriculture, bak-
ing, basketry, blacksmithing, carpentry,
cooking, dairying, engineering, gardening,
harness making, painting, sewing, shoe
making. tailoring and upholstery. AS
the majority of the Indians will have
lands and prefer an outdoor life, great
stress is laid upon the Importance of
teaching agriculture, dairying and like
useful trades. Pupils finishing this course
will be fitted to take charge of the allot-
ment the government has given them, to
shoe their horses. build their houses,
barns and fences, and mend their shoes,
harness and implements. 4 thorough
course in domestic science and domestic
art is also outlined. AS Miss Reel is en-
deavoring' TO revive or preserve the art Of
basketry, she has incorporated in her
course Il chapter on this work. Miss
Reel is endeavoring to- preserve it by
placing the old Indians, who alone I'M
derstand it, in the schools as instructors.

Ribbon Stockings.

Ribbon stockings are one of the latest
fads of Dame Fashion and clever girls
who like to keep in the forefront of the
dress procession, but who also have to
count the pennies carefully, are making
their own.
The foundation for the ribbon-t trimmed
stocking is a plain black stocking, silk
or Isle. Bands of ribbon half an inch
wide and three inches long, each end fin
ished with little loop, are fastened up
Oh the stockings in such way; that they
form gradually widened figure. At the
ankle the ribbon bands are side by side
and almost touch, but at the calf, where
they terminate, with a small buckle,
they are two or three inches apart. This
gives a pretty shape to the ankle and
makes fiat leg appear round.
The most refined of these ribbon
trimmed stockings are of fine black Isle,
trimmed with black satin ribbon. The
bands are fastened to the stockings with
very small safety pins or with tiny jew
eled pins.
Another stocking novelty is the black
one trimmed with a very large ribbon
bow, which is fastened upon the instep.
A low-cut slipper, absolutely plain, is
worn with this stocking The foot looks
extremely dainty dressed in this small
black slipper and the ribbon bow upon
the instep makes the latter appear high.

Strange Su distance Found.

A most peculiar deposit has been dis
covered near Asotin and Lewiston. The
product has a woody fiber and burns
with bright flame like dry wood. There
is on occasion suffering as if there
were oil in the substance, but there is
no book on bitumens that treats of it in
any manner. Assayer Fassett says that
he has never seen or heard of a similar
substance. He says that it appears to
him like dried fungus, but that if the
reports sent him are correct his theory
must be wrong. In a letter sent from
Asotin the writer states that he has a
four-foot ledge uncovered, and has sunk
on it q distance of six feet. the ledge
lying between rock walls. There was a
decayed worm found in a piece of the
product sent to the assay Office, and
that is taken to show a vegetable for
nation. The samples can be split in sec
tons with knife without encountering
any grit. 1t is the most peculiar sub
stance ever brought to Spokane, and Mr.,
Fassett says that, so far as he knows,
there has never been found anything like
it. If there is a ledge. as described in
the letter, and it is within well-defined
walls, the substance will be of great
commercial value. Mr.. Fassett expects
to visit the ledge shortly and see the
formation himself.-Spokane Wash. J

Miss A. De Zavala, president of the
Daughters Of the Republic of Texas, who
has been engaged in gathering historic
relics for that organization, has come
into possession Of five oil paintings from
the brushes Of masters Of centuries ago,
some of them bearing date as far back
as the Fifteenth century. Where these
paintings were secured Miss De Zavala
at this time declines to state, but there
is report that they were found in an
underground passageway connecting the
old Jesuit missions near San Antonio.
The subjects of these paintings are: The
Crucifxion," 'Adoration of the Wise
Men, 1.-The Stable of Bethlehem
Christ Bearing the Cross" and The
Resurrection All Of the paintings are
in fine state Of preservation, but show
stains as if made by some fluid, but it
is believed these can be removed. The
Stable of Bethlehem bears the date
1895 plainly marked in one corner, and is
claimed to be Correggio. The Crucifix-

5 The secret Of the desire Of the English

tests for the famous Henley trophy, is
that when foreigners enter the lists it
becomes necessary to strengthen the Le-

for the Leanders-if the foreigners do
not capture it. The continual possession
Of the trophy by the Leanders is taking

favor the establishment of new inter-
