Unusual Requirements Are Asked of
Zion City's Policemen.
In addition to their duties as guard
ians of the peace and inspectors, on
the alert for violations of the antito-
bacco smoking ordinance, policemen at
Zion City are required to offer up pray
er while on duty, says the Chicago
cord-Herald. Instead of the Gus
tomary roll call the night force assem-
bles for prayers at o'clock every aft
ernoon, Elder Dinnis led recent
meeting, and one Of the officers said
afterwards
'The lesson of watching and praying
was most impresslvely given. The
vast interests to be guarded and the
great personal responsibility Of each
man for the work of the night was pre-
sented with directness. Several short
petitions, full Of thanksgiving and i'm
ploring Gods help for faithful service,
followed by a glad, earnest hymn,
closed the devotions"
1t is said that no policeman has yet
been found asleep while on duty.

TUsK TEN FEET LONG.
Relic OF Mammoth Drought 10 Chi
caEo From the l<IondilSe.

coEO from the hiondikes
A relic of n mammoth has just been
brought home by a Chicago man from
the IIlondilxe, says a Chicago special 10
the New York Times. The relic. which
speaks of a day when animals as large
as houses trod the earth, IS a petrifled
tusk of immense proportions, and its
owner and discoverer Is Henry Isaacs
Of Dawson City. 1t is over ten feet
long
There are three tusks of prehistoric
animals on exhibition at the Field mu-
scum, but none of them is as large as
the one just discovered. In fact, the
mammoth tuslSs, pronounced the lar
gest IN existence, measure feet @
inches long, and were discovered in
1893 by Schumaschoff on the shores Of
Lake Oncoul, in Siberia. They are now
preserved in st. Petersburg, Russia.
The Field museum Is anxious to OBJ
tain Mr., Isaac's prize for its prehistoric
collection. Mr. Isaacs has also had Of
fers from private individuals to buy
the tusk, one coming from Washington,
but he viii set no price upon it.

Miss GoeIet ana the Opal Fad.

One of the first of the fashionable set
TO display the iridescent trimming that
has come so greatly into vogue was
Miss May Goelet, who twice wore a
frock at the opera that gllstened with
this rainbow effect, says the New York
Press. The bodice in particular was
sprinkled heavily with drops Of opal
lozenges. Several New York dressmak-
ers took notes. This sort of style ema-
mates from Paris, but it is not long be-
fore imitators show themselves. This
opal trimming came at an opportune
time Pearls were on the wane for add
ing tone to a gown or hat, and jet has
been overworked. Silver, too, had its
fling, and gold was somewhat too star
Ting for the average woman. SO, with
Miss Goelet's Endorsement, opals are in
the highest possible favor for early
spring.

Iceland, on which Mr.. Thoroddsen.
whose labors in his native island are
so well known. has been engaged for
twenty years, says the Boston Budget
It IS on a scale of one-six hundred thou
sandth, or about twenty English miles
10 the inch. and thus affords at a glance
an excellent picture Of the general
physical structure and geological char
acter of the country. But IL is also re-
plete with details which are expressed
in symbols that take up little space
and are readily ineligible. The map,
Of which we have seen proof copy, is

COTTON GROWING IN CUBA,
Planters From the United states Arc
Investigating On the Island.

Planters From the United states Arc
Investigating On the Island.
The question of the adaptability Of
Cuban soil to the culture Of cotton is
beginning TO give the planters Of the
gulf const states and Mississippi valley
no little concern, writes the Havana
correspondent Of the Washington Post.
Indeed. almost every steamer from
New Orleans which enters the port of
Havana now brings a number of prom
inent visitors from the old southern
cotton belt" the purpose of whose
trip TO Cuba is by personal investiga-
ton there to satisfy themselves upon
this all important point.
Among recent arrivals in the Cuban
capital are party of Texans, experts
In textile matters. whose special object
upon this occasion is TO learn whether
the insular cotton plant has ever suf-
fered from attacks by the boil worm,
which has virtually destroyed the Lone
Star States cotton crop this senson.
These gentlemen are visiting the sew
eral provinces OF tho island in which
cotton has been produced and is now
being grown to advantage, in none of
which districts have they as yet been
successful in their search for the de-
structive insect which has troubled the
planters of their own state And In
view of this fact It is anticipated TINT
upon the publication of their report on
Cuba In Texas many capitalists there
L.. -. ...rl
money into this island may be expected
to invest in the development Of Cuban
cotton fields.

COIN Husk HATS.
The costly Panama 10 Have n Rival
Next summer.

Next summer
Corn husks during the present season
have been bought up for the purpose Of
utilizing them In the manufacture OF a
new style Of hat which may become
both fashionable and popular next
summer says the Philadelphia Satur-
day Evening Post
The material Is cheap. In fact, II Is
usually wasted. Properly cured corn
husks are tough and may be folded
without cracking. Dampened they can
be made TO assume any desired shape.
The process Of working corn husks Into
hats is novel, somewhat intricate, and
Is protected by patent. It is said that
samples already turned out are artistic
as well as light and strong.
An element which enters significantly
into the construction OF the hat is the
natural shape of the husks, which tn
per in width from base to tip. When
split. the parts maintain this configura-
ton. as they parallel the tbers.
This tapering Of all the parts has
been an important feature in the man
ufaoture Of the hat The brim and top
OF the hat are formed by a series Of
LAYERS Of corn husks. TO impart nov
el appearance the outer ends Of some
OF these layers are pointed. Considera-
BILE ingenuity has been displayed In the
entire construction Of the hat-even the
band Is made Of corn huszs- it is
asserted that the result is graceful and
attractive and that, though it may be
constructed economically to be sold at
popular prices, more expensive brands
requiring exceptional skill In the man
ufacture win be turned out TO meet the
demand for hats at fancy prices
