Worn by Fashionable Women.

New York Times.
Miss Anna Sands wore at the Newport
Casino a robe Of pink Swiss. The skirt had
two fve-inch insertions of cream-colored
lace near the bottom. The bodice showed
crossing insertions of the same lace. which
was used again in the sleeves. A white
bca was worn, and a large white hat
trimmed with pink and white.
Miss Lily Oelrichs wears a clOse-ftting
gown Of pale gray. The material is thin
and clinging. There are what might almost
be called "sunbursts'' of fine tucking all
over TIE tight bodice, that is the tiny tucks
start from the outer edges and meet at a
central point. The back of the bodice is a
good example of this, as the tucks run
from the neck and the shoulder and arm
seams TO the center of the back, where an
oval medallion OF yellow lace, perhaps four
inches long. is set in. This same design is
repeated on the upper portions of the
sleeves. There are horizontal insertions of
yellow lace in sleeves and front of bodice.

Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt occasionally
wars an exquisite costume of scarlet

done In groups six inches wide and the

some eighteen inches below the waist line

skirt sufficiently full. About the bottom OF

DYNAMITEDn SILK
Paterson Manufacturers Want It
Properly Labeled.

New York, Jan. IA conference has
been arranged for next week at Pater-
son, N. J., between Congressman Stew
art and a committee of silk manufac-
turers with the view of preparing a. bill
to be introduced in congress to require
a label on ''dynamited" or weighted
silks. The manufacturers have con-
cluded that the practice of weighing
silk is what has brought it into dis
repute and almost ruined the industry.
By the use of bichloride of tin in the
dying process the dyer gets two pounds
out of every pound that comes to his
hands. This has produced a. great re-
duction in prices, but the goods are in
ferior. On exposure to the air the BIZ
chloride Of tin crystallizes and the
crystals cut the fabric upon the slightest
wear or friction
At first the ''dynamited'' silk has the
same handsome and brilliant appearance
that the bona fide article has, but as it
does not wear, it has given silk a bad
name generally, and the industry Ian
cuisines. The manufacturers who insist
on having their silk treated with pure
dye only are greatly handicapped, and
they are now endeavoring to get the aid
of congress Their purpose is to have a.
law passed requiring 'dynamited'
goods, both foreign and domestic, to be
labeled, so that the purchaser may
know what he is buying.

FIGHT MITH A HAWK.


TFrom the Los Angeles Times.]
Ida Duffy, the year old daughter OF
Thomas J. Duffy of the Palatine 1nsur-
ance company Of San Francisco, had d
desperate battle with a wounded chicken
hawk at San Rafael and narrowly es-
capped with her life. Several days ago
the bird was given to the child and 1t
has since been kept a prisoner in the
yard of the family residence at that
place. The other morning the hawk sue
ceeded in making its escape and few to
a nearby tree, where a piece of string
attached to its leg became entangled in
the branches, again making the. bird a
prisoner.
The little girl seeing that the hawk
was unable to fay away, ran to the tree
and, taking advantage Of its spreading
limbs, rapidly climbed to a spot many
feet above the ground, where the bird
was entangled- She attempted to undo
the string from the tree, when suddenly
the bird swooped at her and buried the
ta1ons of both feet in the little girls
face. The child screamed with pain, but
pluckily fought the hawk of as again
ard again it attacked her with beak,
talons and wings.
The child's face was terribly scratched
and her hands cut in the struggle, but
the little heroine chung to the tree and
eventually securing a hold on the bird S
legs prevented it from doing further
harm. Slowly and painfully she climbed
down the tree and still clinging to the
struggling bird she brought it with her
to the ground and placed 1t in captivi-
ty.. Then she ran to the house, where
her cut and bleeding face was promptly
attended to.
That the child escaped the loss Of an
eye or bad fall from the tree was little
less than miraculous, as her scratches
show that the attack of the chicken
hawk was a. vicious one. However, none
of her wounds is serious, and. with the
exception of a few scars, she will be none
the worse for her exciting experience.

WHY PAINTS HIS FACE.
fFrom Pearson's Magazine. ]

L
Every paint mark on the Indians face
is a sign with a definite meaning which
other Indians may read. When an In
dian puts on his full war paint he decks
himself not only with his own individual
honors and distinctions won by his owa
bravery, but also with the special hon
ors of his family or tribe. He may pos
sess one mark of distinction only or
many; in fact, he may be SO well off IN
this respect that, like some English no
blemen, he is able to don new distinc-
ton for every occasion. Sometimes he
will wear all his honors at one time.
Among the Indian tribes is one desig-
mated by the symbol Of the dOgfish,
painted in red on the face. The various
parts OF the fish are scattered hetero-
generously on the surface Of the face; the
peculiarly long snout is painted on the
forehead, the gi1ls are represented by
two curved lines below the eyes, while
the tail is shown as cut in two and
hanging from either nostril. When only
one or two parts Of an animal are paint
ed on a mans face it is an indication Of
inferiority; when the whole animal ap-
pears. even though in many oddly as
sorted parts, the sign is one of great
value and indicates a high rank
Very peculiar are some of the honor
able symbols painted on the Indians
faces There are fish, flesh and fowl
of all kinds-dog- salmon, deyilflsh, star
fish, Woodpeckers, eagles, ravens, wolves,
bears, sealions and sea monsters. mos

DR.. SMITHS DISCOVERIES.
rFrom the New York Sun.1

The Sun has already told briefly Of DR..
Donaldson Smiths secret journeys across
the wholly unknown region between Lake
Rudolf in East Africa and the Nile. He
was the first white man in that wide dis
trict, and a few weeks ago he had read
an account of his journey before the
Royal Geographical society. Among the
most important of his remarks were those
relating to the meteoroiogy of the coun-
try He said there is no doubt that the
desert condition of the lands inland from
the Indian ocean IS the result of the fact
that the north winds blowing over the
mountains of Abyssinia are wrung per-
the mountains and then descend the
southern slopes as dry winds.
These DreezeS are the northern trade
winds. and they cross the lofty noun
tain ranges of the Abyssinian highlands
practically all the moisture in them is
condensed and precipitated and only a
pitfful drop or so is permitted to reach
the more southern lands So SomaIiiand
and the lowlands to the south of Abys-
sinia are very dry. All the rivers and
lakes which came under his ObserVa ton
this year were half dried up.
The other striking fact which he men,
toned is that the whole fauna. both birds
and mammals, appears to change as soon
as Lake Rudolf Is passed In other words
the fauna between the Indian ocean and
Lake Rudolf IS very different from that

oberammergau-Bad lTanners.

IFrom The Nineteenth Century,
Looking round one Sunday in July
upon the huge audience. chiefly COM
posed OF Germans and Americans Of the
lower middle class. as they giggled and
whispered or stared about them OBJ
viously Indifferent and genuinely bored
one felt it was a matter Of wonder why
they were there at all. In spite Of the
admirable arrangements for the orderly
conduct Of the play ana the comfort of
the visitors, the audience were by no
means settled in their seats when the
gun was fired and the chorus walked
on to the stage, and an effort was made
TO obtain silence. Those who had en-
tered the building from the left when
their seats were on the right, and vice
versa were still walking about, refusing
to believe they could not get to their
seats without going out again and re-
entering the theater by the proper door.
Others came in late. and this was an
objectionable offense, causing in each
case "a whole row to rise and block out
the view OF the tableaus. which were
sufficiently fleeing without any such
interruption. These disturbances met
with the expressions OF annoyance
which they undoubtedly merited, but
angry Kisses and exclamations were
hardly the evidences Of an appropriate
spirit in which to watch the calm en-
durance OF suffering which was present
ly to call forth a dumb and silent SYM
patty from all earnest witnesses. But
from beginning to end a devotional
spirit, or even a spirit Of reverence,
never breathed its sOftening influence
over that crowded house, and when the
doors were thrown open in the middle
and at the close OF the play any con-
straint that there had been was gone
Immediately, and. like a kettle Of boil
inE water when the lii ia removed, the
pent-up steam escaped. and laughing.
pushing. and talking, the crowd elbowed
its way out.
On this particular Sunday referred to
the weather was extremely wet and
cold. and the shivering audience sat
wrapped in rugs and cloaks and still
were not warm It was doubtless this
fact which caused them SO far TO forget
what was seemly and reverent as to
stamp with their feet between the scenes
Aim spite of individual efforts to silence
them. only the scenes Of the Last Supper
and the Crucifxion were exempted from
this display of irreverence.
