Chicago, Jan. 2s.-Admiral Schley
went over to the Northwest side Mon
day forenoon and visited awhile with
the children of the school named in

long, cold carriage drive to get there,
he was rewarded with the best time he
has had since he came to town, and be-
fore he went away he told his little
hosts as much.
They made an arch of triumph for
him with palm leaves and sang "See,
the Conquering Hero Comes" to him
as he walked through their ranks up
three flights of stairs to the assembly
room. There were 900 of them, all
dressed in their finest. Admiral Schley
shook hands with everyone of them
and made them a speech besides.
Admiral and Mrs. Schley spent q

q part of most oriental religions to
keep the women in seclusion, and
that Mohammed of blessed memory
made the command a binding one.
Although the women OF Japan.
Corea and China are more or less Sc
cluded, particularly the women OF
China, who live in the zeuana. they
do not wear wells. While they 60
abroad in closed sedan chairs, their
heads are guiltless of bonnets even,
except when severe cold weather
makes some sort of head covering
necessary.
Turkish danes of high degree wear
dainty squares of white illusion CO.
quettishly wound about their heads
and faces, which cover but in nowise
conceal their beauty. This style has
been growing smaller and more
diaphanous until now the Turkish
woman's face is less concealed than
the European woman's who clings to
the close square of tulle.
The Algerian women wear yards OF
soft gauze about their heads and
shoulders. When coming in contact
with European men these are grace
fully draped SO as to leave but the
upper portion of the face visible.
The five-yard sarong of the Parsee
women makes dress skirt, covers
greater portion of the body, leaving
one arm and shoulder free, and is
then most artistically arranged about
the head. The Nautch girls, who
wear the curious nose-rings and ex-
pensive Jewels on their feet and heavy
anklets, make use of the sarong in
their gliding dances, but they seldom
use them for face covering. The mar
ried women and widows OF the
Basque provinces use combination
cloak and hood similar to that worn
by the women of San Miguel.
Mohammedan women have variety
of face wells, modified by climate and
the country in which they live. The
Yasmak of the Turkish and Egyptian
women is unknown to the women OF
India, who envelope their faces in the
folds of long, narrow gauze wells or
shroud themselves in their beautiful
ly embroidered sarongs.-Louisville

out of the mine; in fact some did not
know of the accident till called on for
help.

MRS. LELAND STANFORD.
She ENJOYS the Reputation OF Beins
tho Greatest woman Phila.-
throplst Of Our Time.

If at any time in the future his
tory of philanthropy in America
should be written, the name of Mrs.
Leland Stanford would have promi'
nent place in that history. To her
would belong the distinction Of hav-
ing given more to the great cause OF
education than any other woman of
her generation. Her private benefac-
tions will never be known, but they
have been many and large. She takes
first rank in the amount she has
given to educational, charitable and
other institutions.
Mrs. Stanford was Miss Jane La
throp and she was born in the year
1925, SO that for six years she has
lived on the borrowed time" of those
who go beyond the threescore and
ten years of life. When she married
Leland Stanford about so years ago
he was poor and struggling young
lawyer.
1t was Leland Stanford who
brought about that great triumph of
modern times, q railroad across the
Rocky mountains. His business in
stinct told him that the great west
could never rise to the full scope OF
it's wonderful resources until it was
connected by bands of steel with the
east. The best railroad engineers of
that day said that railroad up and
over the Rocky mountains was be-
yond the limit of human achievement.
Other engineers thought it possible,
md Leland Stanford said that it
should come to pass. He SGT to work
with invincible resolution to have the
road constructed and on the 10th day
of May in the year 1869 the road from
the Atlantic coast and the road from
the Pacific coast met at Promontory,
Utah, q point $50 miles from San
Francisco and little more than 1000
miles from Omaha. The last spikes
that connected the two lines of road

Cheese Factories.

Half dozen cheese factories are to
be established at once in the western
and northwestern parts of the state,
with the assistance of inspectors of
the state dairy and food department.
This will mark the first result of eff
forts that have been made for some
time by Commissioner Mcconnell, who
believes, after careful investigation,
that a great saving to farmers in
sparsely populated districts, where
there are few cattle, will be gained by
their selling dairy products to a
cheese factory. instead of trying to
compete with the great butter-making
districts.

Reciue for French Dressing.

French dressing is mixture of fine
olive oil, vinegar or lemon juice OF
both, salt, cayenne pepper and onion
Juice. The following proportions will
make enough for one head of lettuce:
One table spoonful of oil, bit OF
cayenne, one-half saltspoonful of salt
four drops of onion juice, one tea
spoonful of lemon juice or one tea
spoonful of vinegar. Mix all togethe,

matoes, cold meat and to marinate
chicken, lobster and crab when they
are to be used for salads.

and made them one were driven by
Leland Stanford. The spikes were
three in number. One was of gold
from California, one OF silver from
Nevada, and the other of gold and
silver from Arizona. 1t was the COM
pletion of the most marvellous
achievement in railroading in Ameri-
ca. It was an achievement that
brought millions of dollars into the
Golfers of Leland Stanford, but he
and Mrs. Stanford have returned
many millions of it to California in
the university they founded and in
other ways.
When he was but 16 years old the
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Stanford
died. He was a promising lad who
was studiously inclined, and he had
said that when he became a man he
intended to establish a great univer-
sity. His father and mother remem-
bered his words and the university
thew have founded is their monu-
ment to the memory of Leland Stan
ford, Junior.
Mrs. Stanford has never cared very
much for society, and she has always
regarded her wealth as trust to be
administered for the good of others.
Most of her time in these the last
years of her life is spent in planning
for the university and in considering
how best to dispose of the large for
tune still left in her possession al.

so many millions. - Detroit Free

To Fix the Blame.
Coroner Foehlinger, of Oskaloosa, is
holding an inquest to determine who
is to blame for the disaster. The
trouble was caused by an explosion OF
dust ignited by shot too heavily
cha rged. It proved to be what miners
call a "screamer." To be more clear
the shot, when exploded. instead OF
knocking down the coal, fires; straight
out into the room. This kind Of shot
causes much dust and the flames COM
ing into coQtact with the dust usually
furnish an explosion.
Force OF Explosion Terrific.
In the accidentof Friday the effect was
simply terrific. The tracks were torn
up and the guides for the cages were
blown away, On this account they
could not be operated for three hours.
The fans were also damaged and could
not be used to ventilate the mine i'm
mediately. All the entry doors were
blown completely out and no system
of ventilation could be arranged until
the doors were replaced by volunteers,
and it was almost certain death to 60
into the mine.
Brave Volunteers.
As soon as the cages could be op-
Grated, volunteers speedily stepped
forward. The first man to enter the
mine was Jap Timbrell, general super
intendent of the mine. He was eagerly
followed by many others, who took
their turns in going to the relief OF the
victims.
Coroner on Hand.
As soon as the mine was fully ex-
plored 20 dead bodies were found. Cor
oner Foehlinger, of Oskaloosa, was on
the ground and took charge of the
dead bodies, removing them Saturday.
He caused them to be taken to the
company's store, about a mile. distant.
Here an improvised morgue was estab-
1ished and the bodies were wrapped in
blankets. The coroner did not deem
it advisable to expose them to the view
of the crowd.

way TO water palms, and many plants
