The French knot is popular kind OF
trimming. Tiny French knots trim the
collar and the yoke, and are used in
such way as to make panels down each
side of the vest. The cuffs are trimmed
with them. The foot of the skirt has an
embroidery in French knots.
The buckle and the chou are two Or
naments that appear upon everything.
The gown without its chou is hard to
find, and upon most gowns there are
from one to a dozen used in various
ways. The belt chou Is a necessity, as
it is ornamental and serves as a vehicle
for the handsome buckles of the season.
The stock chou is also something to
be courted in the scheme of pretty
dressing, for it is so very becoming. II
a set of three choux be placed upon the
stock, upon the bust and at the belt, the
whole connected by bands of ribbon,
there is certain to be pretty finish to
the gown.
Serge sailor suits and Elton suits of
cloth, covert serge or serge continue to
be worn by young girls.
A well-grown child of three years
wears her skirts only to the bend of the
knees, and before that age the skirts are
worn only to the shoe tops, care being
taken that they are not made long
enough to trip the not always steady
steps of the small child. From three to
fourteen years the skirts are heightened
an inch every two years, until at sixteen
the almost grown school girl has her
round skirt of even length to cover her
shoetops. If a girl is very tall and
slender her skirt is made to reach her in
step. The height of a girl should be
considered as well as her age.
1t is rumored that not in the very dis
tant future the present long waists may
give place to the short-waisted bodices
of the beginning of the last century.
Possibly it may be SO, for in other re-
spects the fashions seem to be barking
back to that date. This extract from
the Lady's Magazine, the fashion paper
of those days, TALES with fashions
of to-day: "Ostrich feathers of all colors
are universal. Pelisses and spencers OF
velvet and cloth are much worn. The
most favorite colors for them are dark
green, sky blue and black; the military
fronts are generally adopted. For un-
dress silver grey muffs and tippets are
worn; for dress, swan down." Such a
paragraph, dated just 100 years ago, is
as applicable now as then; SO does his,
tory repeat itself.

The Discovery Of Bora. In Deaf

The Discovery Of Borax In Death
Valley by Aaron Winters.
The greatest discovery Of borax In
the United States was made in the ter
ribly hot region known as Death val
ley and in most romantic way. The
Chicago Record tells the story.
In 1880 Aaron Winters lived with bis
wife, Rosie. in a gulch known as Ash
Meadows, not far from the mouth Of
Death valley. He was 80 fond Of
his wife that he would not allow her to
be long absent from him, although
their little hut on the side Of the noun
tain was a hundred miles from the
nearest neighbor. In q wild, rugged
forsaken country.
One day a desert tramp came along
and spent the night at the Winters
home. He told the hunter about the
borax deposits of Nevada. When he
went away. Winters thought that he
had seen deposits Of the same kind on
his explorations into Death valley.
Accordingly he and his wife went to-
gether to make the search. having pre-
viously provided themselves with Ger
tain test chemicals. which when COM
bined with borax and ignited would
produce a green flame.
Having procured piece Of the sub
stance which he believed to be borax.
Winters and his wife waited for night
fall to make the test. How would 1t
burn?
For years they had lived like Piutes
on the desert. entirely without lu1uries
and often wanting for the very necessi-
ties Of life. Would the match change
ell that?
Winters held the blaze to the SUBJ
stance with trembling hand. then
shouted at the top Of his voice: "She
burns green. Rosie! We're rich! We're
-ichw
They had found borax. The mine
was sold for $4,000. and Winters took
his Rosie to ranch In Nevada.

To the Editor of the Grant County
Herald:
Please give me space in your paper
to make the following announcement:
Notwithstanding that | recognize the
fact that able and efficient men have
announced themselves as candidates.
for the nomination on the Republican
ticket for the I'd assembly district,
yet | have been urged to be a candi-
date to that point that / feel a word
from me might not be out o. place. /
have no higher ambition than to be of
some use in the world, to have at least
the community in which l live better
on account of having lived. And If
the Republicans of this assembly dis
trict desire that I should serve them
in this capacity and SO direct by CIV
ing me the nomination and / am suc-
cessful at the polls, my time and tai
ent will be dedicated to represent and
guard the interests of this assem-
bly, district in particular and the state
of Wisconsin in general and for the
advancement of right and justice.
And let me say right here that the
simple fact that | announce myself as
a candidate is no indication whatever
that I am qualified to fill the place to
which I aspire, and what seems to me
a plain duty of the Republicans of
this assembly district is to investigate
this matter of who is the right man to
nominate, and go to the caucus and
make themselves felt, and send dele
gates to the I'd assembly district CON
vention that will fairly represent their
wishes, when that convention meets
they should be a deliberative body
and should nominate a man which in
their Judgment was best qualified to
represent this assembly district, and
in this search for the right man they
should not confine themselves to us
who have announced ourselves as an
didates, but should select from the
whole district. Ali of which is re-
spectfully submitted.
WIN. LEIGHTON.
Dated Little Grant, March 25th.
