woman's Shirt Waist or Blouse.


The smart blouse waists are acEnoWl-
edged favoritcs Of fashion and grow
in favor and variety with each change
of season. This latest May Manton
design, shown in tEc- large ENGRAVING,
includes many novel features and is
admirably adapted to afternoon wear.
The original Of white moire roplin,
stitched with heavy white silk. shows
gold ball buttons with white silk cords
effccting the closing at the centre front.
All waist materials, such as taucia,
peau de soie flannel. serge. cashmere,
piQue, cheviot, and the more substan-
tial wash fabrics are appropriate.
The foundation, OF fitted lining,
which may be omitted, extends to. the
waist line only, and closes At the
cenrrc front, but separately from the
outside; over it are arranged the parts
of the waist proper which extend below
the belt in shirt waist style. The fronts
and back are scanned together at the
shoulders before the deep plcats arc
laid that extend over the tops OF the
sleeves to give the heightened effect
now so fashionable. These plcats are
double stitched like tucks for some
distance on both front and back. two
extra rows Of ornamental stitching be-
ing added at evenly spaced distances.
The tiny breast pocket is finished with
a stitched welt. but may be omitted, if
not desired. The sleeves are in bishop
style, with the new deep cuffs. and the
neck is finished with regulation stock
that closes in the back.
To cut this waist in the medium size,
three and five-eighth yards of material
twenty-one inches wide, three and one
half yards twenty-seven inches wide,
or two yards forty-four inches wide,
will be required.

No Shovcling Required.

The apparatus shown below almost
speaks for itself as u time and trouble
saver, for nearly every one knows by
experience the unpleasant work Of
cleaning out the furnace several times
a week In winter. One great annoy
ance is the scattering of dust in the
air, to settle later all around the base
ment, some even being carried through
the fues into the living rooms above.
to be deposited on furniture and car
pets. George Adams and Walter How
land have conceived the idea Of pro-
vding 4 receptacle Into which the
ashes may be shaken direct from the
furnace, incloslns the receptacle in an
Gir-tight chamber, except for the one
passage leading through the furnace
into the chimney. Of course the re-
ceiving can may be of any desired
shape and size, and it Is possible with
it's use to allow several days shakingS
to accumulate without interfering
with the ordinary working Of the fur
mace. AS 1t would be impossible to
lift full receiving can out OF the we'll

DYNAMITE IN A MINE BUCKET.

Two Men Descending With 1t When the
Explosive Let Go.
There was a fatal explosion under
very peculiar circumstances at Slope
No. 2 of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and
Railroad company at Pratt City. Two
negroes, who were descending an air
shaft, are dead, and the bucket in
! which they were being lowered was
blown to smithereens. The negroes
were picked up at the bottom of the
shaft, and were both dead when
reached.
Just before the explosion it became
necessary for the two negroes, George
Allen and H w. Harrison, to go down
into the shaft, which had been sunk
for the purpose of supplying air to the
men. They were placed in a bucket
and lowered by means Of a rope. IN
side the bucket was lot of dynamite,
and, it is supposed, some caps. In
some way the explosive was ignited,
presumably from a lamp on the hat
on the head of one of the men, and
there was terrific explosion. Both
were thrown from the bucket and fell
over IS feet to the bottom.
The report was distinctly heard at
the top of the shaft and at once a cloud
of smoke came to the surface. The
men on top realized what had hap
pened and commenced efforts to see
what damage had been done.
Communication with the bottom Of
the mine was secured and from those
there it was learned that the negroes,
having been blown from the bucket,
had dropped down to the hard rock.
There seems to be no blame to be at
tached to anybody but the negroes
themselves They had been warned to
be careful, and it is thought by all
who knew anything of the circum
stances that they are the victims Of
their own incautious action.-Birming-

TA=TAT'S TRANSPORTATION.
The Grand Coup of an Indian Maid.
BY JOHN HAROLD HAM11E.

The languorous mists Of perfect
Indian summer shrouded the purple
peaks of the Cone mountains. Locusts
sang shrilly from every grcase-wood
bush, and whole choruses of the same
insects droned forth from the mahog
any shrubs. The landscape had a pc
culiarly conical tendency; each indi-
'vidual hill was cone-shaped; the nut
pines, punctuating their 5ray-biue
slopes, tapered to dull green cone;
and down at the base OF pyramidical
mountain clustered few peaked wick
iups. A cloud of reddish dust floated
skyward and mingled with the SHIN
mering veil of autumn haze that
blurred the hill tops. The reddish
dust arose from a trail that twisted
in sinuous loops up and ever the Cone
mountains as three ponies picked their
way along its winding course. A roam
pony led the trio; ne was ridden by
stern old MeloXi, an Indian OF VIDE
repute among the Washce tribe. The
second animal, strange little pinto.
bore the daughter Of Meloxi, and
bringing up the rear came Washoe
Billy, mounted on his sturdy bay.
The riders were silent, but, being
Indians, this seemed matter OF fact;
something might be learned from the
expressions stamped on the counten-
ances of the three redskins. Melo%l
looked stern and dignfed; Ta-tat, his
daughter, rebellious and indignant;
while Washoe Billy wore a victorious
half smile every time he glanced at
Ta-tat, which was not in!rcquently.
The ponies were tired and dusty--the
riders crampcd and dusty, too.
Several dogs began to yelp as the
tiny cavalcadc approached tic wicEl-
ups; half dozen ai"ily clad papcoses
skurried up from the tric!l!!ng stream
in the nearby arroyo, and stared at
the sorry-looking party. BY the tlmc
the ponies were halted before McloXis
tepee, the whole village had gathered
about them. Neither Me!oHi Eor
Washoe Billy caused this unusual in
terest; Ta-tat, the rebellious coun-
tcnanced daughter of chief, had re-
turned into their midst; not willing
". but forcibly brought homo by her
father and future husband, Washoc
Billy.
1t was this maiden, the pride OF the
Cone mountain Washoes, that excited
the curiosity of the villagers. Ta-tat,
from mere infancy. attracted consia-
cradle attention. On her right temple

Valuable Food Product.

Fish powder is the very latest adli-
ton to the list of foods, and it is said
by physicians to be the best and most
nutritive food product in condensed
form that has been discovered. 1t can
be made in the home, with very little
trouble ard expense. Any kind Of
fresh fish will do. First steam them
ir their own moisture, then, after cool
ing and drying the mass obtained, ex-
pose it to the air for short time.
The next step is to shred the fish
and then treat it to a bath of alcohol
and citric acid, that all fat, glue and
mineral matter be removed. After
drying, it must again be boiled, dried
and ground. The result is kind of
meal or -four, which can be utilized
in a great variety of ways, as, for in
stance, mixing in soups, frying oys-
ters and making omelets. The flour
has neither taste nor smell, and it
will keep indefinitely

fully; stars bllnked in the high, dark
ened vault of heaven; fires lighted up
the cluster of wickiups, aid the wild
dance was on in earnest Two more
hours and Ta-tat's fate was sealed.
The black-fringed, liquid eyes of the
Indian girl flashed; her bosom rose and
fell with suppressed emotion He

The words were but half-articulated,
and Ta=tat held her breath as If their
echoes startled her.

farewell caress, The maiden placed the
uncanny bird on heap Of rabbit

this transformation is said to lie in
the fact that the country around An-

rich in mineral deposits, two facts
which will no doubt induce immigrants

England; third, Germany, closely fol-
lowed by France and Russia.
There Is great difference In the
school systems. but IN two ways is
this more noticeable, viz, inspection
of school work and its results. The
system &C. inspection abroad has been
developed to such an extent that it Is
more OF science than an rd'nary
routine, as IN this country. The in
spector spends at least day month
in each room, making copious notes OF
both teachers and pupils work. criti-
cisiug in open class tic deficient stud
les and commencing those that are
satisfactory.
One report that l saw in kenmare
and prepared by the regular govern
ment officer, had the results carefully
tabulated. One copy WAS handed the
teacher, another was sent to the Board
of Education, and another was retained
by the inspector to aid him in his fu-
ture visits, thus leaving something tam
gible for the teacher and pupils to
work on. The report set forth that
the department OF the pupils was prop
erly maintained, but that the reading
of the class was away below par;
mathematics was fair, spelling excel
lent, prnmanship could be improved
on, history was excellent, but geogra-
ply Of the Western Hemisphere was
very poor and grammar was all that
could be expected. With such report
the teacher had some tangible basis
to work OH before the next appearance
of the inspector, before which time it
was expected the deficiency in studies
would Gc made UP.
The inspection Of class work in our
Chicago schools forms quite n con-
trast with this. Here the assistant
superintendent rarely spends over Il
half hour, and no report is made to the
teacher that would lid in remcdying
defects, but she is left in ignorance of
how her wor!. compares with other
teachers efforts.
