Lace of the same color as the gown

Finds Fortune In Elks' Teeth.

Eight hundred elks' teeth in the
grave of an Indian chief, all splendid
specimens and susceptible of mounting,
were the wonderful find by Philadel-
phia curio hunter named Zimmerman.
who has been gathering relics along
the canyon Of the tortuous Snake river
for several months, says the San Fran
cisco Call. Zimmerman dug into the
grave, which was in wild, barren and
remote country along the Snake river,
above Lewiston, Ida. Some distance
down he encountered several small
bones, which on examination proved TO
be magnificent specimens of elks' teeth.
and on scooping away the earth with
his hands he found that loose tunic
wrapped around the ex-chief's skele-
ton had been literally crammed with
teeth, the best obtainable in the days
when elk were plentiful. Zimmerman
took his find to Lewiston for shipme9t
to Philadelphia, keeping very quiet
about the discovery. One man to whom
he confded the secret in Lewiston Of
fered him $40 apiece for the 400 with
the red streak.

were fitted to do the great work Of the
world in these progressive days. But
when we take a look around at the
men who are actually in the lead to-.
day in literature, science, politics, re-
ligion and business we find much to
disprove this idea that old age is &
sign of weakness and ineficiency.
In our own strenuous land we have
such men as Edward Everett Hale
Theodore Cnyler and Russell Sage still
at the forefront in a multitude Of ae;
-tivities, although all: three of them
have left eighty years behind some
time since. In the sphere Of national
politics we have such commanding fig
ures ais; Senators Hoar and Hawley.
both Of whom must plead guilty to the
age of seventy-six, while the two illus
trious senator's from Maine, Messrs.
Hale and Frye, are both men Of many
years, the first named being sixty-six
and the other seventy-one. Our pres
ent secretary of state, Mr.. Hay, is far
from being youthful person, having
sixty-four years to his credit, while
Secretary Wilson is older than that by
three years and Postmaster General
Payne is nearly sixty. Whitelaw Reid
of the Tribune is siXty-five, and Drs.
James NJ. Buckley and Lyman Abbott,
the veteran religious journalists, are
over siXty-siX.
If we turn our gaze abroad, we find
equally strong testimony. 1t is Sir
John Arid. verging OH seventy, who
has built the great Nile dam; it is Lord
Masham. vergirg on ninety, who has
just appealed to the English govern
ment to overhaul the fiscal system;
Henry Labouchcre. "Labby," the bril-
liant editor of Truth, is man Of sew
enty; the keenest debater in the house
of commons is still Sir William Har-
court, in active opposition at seventy
four; Mr.. John Morley is siXty-three,
and Joseph Chamberlain is only four
years off seventy; Francis Joseph of
Austria was seventy-two last August.
Oscar of Sweden is seventy-three, Leo
pold of Belgium Is sixty-seyen, and
King Christian of Denmark is eighty

are in the hands Of men over sixty

Wages on American Ships.

Beyond the larger first cost Of Amer
lean built ships another weighty fac
tor in the question Of how to revive
the American merchant marine is the
wide difference in shipboard wages be-
tween this country and its European
competitors This difference in wages
is not characteristic Of the high speed
mail steamers alone. In the report of
the commissioner Of navigation for

The shirt Waist Set.

Quite the latest thing in fashions
whirl Is the shirt waist set. The shirt
waist, with hat to match. is no novelty.
but the shirt waist set is comparatively
new. 1t consists of four pieces-the

end wore few days ago a gown of
dark brown. Ii was an uneventful
gown except for the set which went
with it. This set. in tomato red. was
charming in setting off the costume.
The hat. all in tomato red panne and
scarlet tips. was supplemented by a
stock of tomato colored silk. which in
turn was made noticeable by belt of
tomato red satin lined with black silk
velvet put on in rows. And all were set
off by red umbrella OF regulation rain
size.
The brown gown was in two parts.

was tucked in front and buttoned in
the back. The skirt had tucked hips
and q flare skirt.

relation to ones height Ii is impossi-
BILE to do SO without losing that pre-

much a short woman may admire the

one she should not indulge herself in
wearing either, but cling to sleeves
which mark a long line from shoulder

upon the newer sleeve. then she must
have the top fit rather closely and be-
