White satin and point lace are st;i,

ROYAL COPPER JEWELRY.
That Metal Is Very Popular for Cuff
Links. Belt Buckles and Vari-
Gus Other Articles.

Copper is the latest Of the COM
mon metals to become the object of
the jewelers. work. It is the most
fashionable as we'll as the newest
of the metals so employed, and all
the smartest things in the way of
sleeve links, card and cigarette cases,
belt buckles, vases and the like show
it. It is highly ornamental, so used,
and remarkably beautiful, says the
Kansas City Times. 1t holds the
same relation to silver and gold as
do gun metal, which is essentially
steel, and kay kayserzin, which has
block tin for it's basis.
1t is made up in combination with
silver, is reddish in hue, highly pol
ished, and it costs just about the
same as would similar article of
solid silver. 1t affords relief from
the somber gun metal and the shiny
silver, and some people think it is
prettier than either.
Many of the new articles shown
this fall are delightfully."- artistic.
Sleeve links of the royal copper with
silver rings and silver-imposed heads
and the like were much admired. Sill
yer vases with copper holders, and
especially silver and copper card and
smokers cases, are among the most
in demand. The metal is also used
for TASKS, brushes, whisks and toilet
articles generally. 1t is scarce at
present, but will become more plen-
tiful as the makers are better
equipped for turning it out.

LETTERS FROM HEAVEN.
Strange Communi cntiOnA of an IN.
dfanap01is Crank to the NatioAs
al Treasury Department..

For five or six years the treasury de-
partment has periodically received
letter or epistle from an Indianapolis
man who signs himself UNITED States
in Heaven" and who dates his epistles
"Heaven." The latest of these commu-
nications is in line with all the others,
and although brief is interesting, as
showing the class of matter which
sometimes reaches the executive de-
partments. This one is dated
Heaven, SO, 9, 49," and is as follows:
II do not care to set up my opinion in
controversy with the others OF the
American bar, but l have opposed the
Panama canal because l think 1t I'M
wi~e, because the French company has
a doubtful title" 1t is signed UNITED
States in Heaven"
The communications from this cot:
respondent are promptly TRANSFERRED
to the waste basket, and from there
are carried out by the charwomen who
clean up the treasury department. No
answer is sent to this alleged "heaven-
ly" correspondent. In some Of the de-
partments the heads are so exceeding
" courteous in their treatment of cor
respondents that they might be dis
posed to insist upon an answer to COM
munications of this kind, but this is not
SO in the treasury department.
At the white house, says the Wash
ington Star, unless it is seen abs olute-
ly that a person is crazy, his or her
communication is always responded to
In the most courteous manner.

Showed a WOeful Ignorance of

She looked like 'the real thing"
The women in the corridor, who were
also becomingly groomed, looked
after her enviously as she swished
rhythmically past them into the re-
ception room at the end of the hall
and the men supplemented this atten-
ton with admiring mods and softly
modulated "whew-ew-ews," relates
the New York Times.
The dozen people already gathered
in the reception room reading and
talking were likewise visibly inn
pressed with the general excellence of

gan to give evidence of an uneasiness
that went little way toward dispell-
ing the illusion. She looked doubt
fully about as if seeking something
she wanted badly, but didn't know
how to get. Presently she spied a lit
tie black knob far up ON the wall near
the door, and she stood up on her tip
toes and turned it gingerly. In an in
slant darkness had settled upon the
face of the reception-room and all who
sat therein.
"O-o-oh!" squealed the women and
''Thieves!" calculated the men. The
apotheosis Of grace and culture walled
loudest of all.
"What has happened?" she cried.

THE ACTORS OF CHINA.
Theirs Is . Profession Which Once
Adopted L. Vital to TIL Ose Who
Follow 1t.

Actors in China are usually very
we'll paid, but likewise are much
despised. No actor or son of an
actor can compete at the public ex-
aminations for the literary degree
which is the doorway to public Office.
and consequently the actors profess
sion when once adopted, is vital to
those who follow it, says. the Brook
Ign Eagle. Once an English doctor
was called to attend a young actor
whose leg was in a bad condition
from careless treatment. The foot
had been cut off as the result of an
injury caused by a fall on the stage.
Filth and negligence had done the
rest and there was very little chance
of the mans recovery, still the doc.
tor felt that he should take that
chance and therefore took off the
mans leg. To the surprise of the
doctor his leg healed at once, and in
a few weeks the actor was again
ready to go on the stage. The doc
tor fitted him with an artificial leg.
and his good fortune began. He at
once undertook a part where his leg
was knocked off to the horror of the
audience. After the apparent acct
dent he was carried off the stage,
but soon reappeared, walking as we'll
as before. The Chinese know very
little about artificial legs and each
time the dramatic incident occurred,
they regarded it as miracle.
