Possibly the strike Of the ladies'
tailors and a consequent slackness in
ladies' fashions, may account for the
fact that Paris has lately been taking,
q particular interest in masculine, not
feminine, attire. After the question
of, the frock coat has come that Of the
top hat. The headgear which remained
pre-eminent throughout the nineteenth
century is said now to be doomed, by
a dictate, not of fashion, but Of the
authorities. It must at once be added
that the. top hat has not been pro-
scribed throughout the length and
breadth Of the land, but only in ono
commune Of France. The mayor Of
this locality has issued an, edict threat
ening pain of fine and imprisonment,
as the hat in question is undemocratic.
French municipal magnates are dis
playing a great zeal for regulating cos

days work he was able to go ahead
without the aid of a lamp. Then the
mineral became a curiosity and some
of it was taken to Boise. 1t was ex-
amined, but there has been nc n who
is able to tell just what it is.
"Mr. Ayres took a piece of it to his
cabin, and after night tried to make it
show a light, but it was not so bright
as it had been in the tunnel. This is at
tributed to the atmospheric conditions,
and is undoubtedly true, for in the ex-
periments that have been made with
it in Boise we have been able to re-
produce the atmospheric conditions In
water that prevail where the mineral
is found, and therefore it is not
thought that we will have any trouble
in getting the desired result.
$50 far as we have been able t.
learn, this is the first Of the mineral
ever found in the world. All assayers
to whom we have shown it say they
never heard of it before, and they are
not able to tell what it is. We will
go ahead and try to put it to some use,
and even at the present time are rea-
sonably sure of success. If it does
come out as we expect, the mine will
be more valuable than we eve be-
lie~ed.
"There is a large body of the deposit.
and the farther we go in the stronger
becomes the light. Another thing that
we are convinced of is that, If we can
make it practical, it will be a perpetual
light. for in the throwing of of its rays
there does not appear to be any waste
of the mineral. Since the discovery
there has been a large number Of visit
ors to the mine, and the outcome is
being watched by all in the vicinity Of
where the deposit was uncovered"

GUESSING AT The ADS"

New York Young Woman.

form of Puzzle Working Devised BY ,
New York Young Woman.
A new game is being played on the
upper west side by young people, says
the New York Sun. 1t is an outgrowth
of the immense amount of pictorial
advertising which is being done in all
the newspapers, magazines and street
cars and elevated trains. Almost all
articles which have a sale that is
more than purely local, whether they
be books, c%orsets, gloves, magazines,
crackers, pickles, hair tonics, stove
polishes, or liniments, have nowadays
some pictures which have become
identified with them in the public
mind through seeing them in all sorts
of public places. This led a certain
young woman, who was at a loss for
something new to do for an evenings
entertainment to work out a game.
She collected a lot of magazines and
cut from the back pages all the adj
vertising pictures, carefully removing
any hint of the article advertised,
WHICH, was uOI q QdA% VI IA6 picture
itself. Then she selected thirty-six of
them and pasted them on cards, CIV
ing to each a number. These she
strung around her parlors and when
her guests arrived they were put at
work to find out what the pictures adj
vertisad. Some of the pictures were SO
familiar that the task was not difficult
and yet it was surprising to find how
it all was to the puzzle
workers. Pictures that seemed fami-
liar were mighty elusive when 1t
came to identifying them among
thirty-six others. The soap ads got
dreadfully mixed up, and SO did the
hair restorers. If the pictures were
ever published labeled the way most
of the guests guessed there would
have followed a whole lot of trade
mark infringement suits. The girls
were very much better at the work
than the young men. presumably be-
cause the articles advertised were
household things and SO Of
more interest to the fair sex than to
their brothers. OF the thirty-six pic
lures the highest number guessed was
twenty-five and this was by one Of the
young women. y
