QUEER NATURAL EFFICIES.
Remarkable Figure of Whale High
In the Coast Range Mountains
of California.

At Conchise, Ariz., the passenger on
the Southern Pacific railroad is shown
a wonderful face, formed by the sum-
NIT of a mountain range. 1t is called
the face of Sleeping Conchise, fam
Gus Indian chief, and is said to be held
in more or less reverence by the Indians
who have seen it. The profile is re-
markable, doubtless several miles in
length, and from certain localities
perfect face gazing upward with won
derful dignity.
In almost every portion of the coun-
try strange faces or forms are found,
but none are more remarkable than
the stone whale, writes Charles +.
Hilder, in Scientific American. Nearly
20 years ago the writer heard of this
natural curiosity, his informant urg-
ing him to go and see the whale high
in the mountains. Vertebrae of these
huge creatures were not uncommon
on the summit of the Coast Range
mountains, and the writer had seen the
skeleton of a whale dug into when a
street was being opened in the city of
Los Angeles; indeed, remains OF these
animals were found in various portions
of the state, hence the story of the
whale in the mountains did not result
in long trip at that time, and the
natural effigy was not seen until many
years after, when making coaching
trip from Los Angeles to Santa Bar
bara. One afternoon, after crossing
a little stream in Ventura the coach
rolled out into country road and
came to standstill by the side of the
whale, an effigy so remarkable that it
WAS easily seen how the early natives
were attracted by it and had legends
referring to it. The whale is a con-
spicuous landmark, and stands on the
Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Bar
bara highway, pointing to the east and
attracting the notice of all who pass
that way.

This is a convenient preparation t.
have in the pantry for fiavoring and
enriching sauces, stews, etc. Take
one onion, one carrot, one celery root,
one sweet potato, one parsnip, one rcd
pepper, one shallot, and from one to
four Glove garlics, according to taste
Remove the seeds from the pepper, peel
the carrot, parsnip, onion and potato
and shop all the vegetables very fine
Add three large bay leaves, quarter of
q teaspoonful each of cloves, mace, ciu1

and season with salt and pepper. Put
a layer of the vegetables in the bottom

cup of cold water; place on top of stove
and stir and cook for Is minutes, or
until you have rich brown strip.
Strain off the sauce and bottle, corking
tightly. Keep in a cool place. Alittle
if this added to soup, stew or sauce
will give color and favor.-WashinQ-

its shares found no buyers. despite
the fact that there was scarce bro

anxious, almost panic-stricken clients

Electricity was in the air. Everyone
talked of electricity, and predicted
that in the near future it would be the

opinion, which was further strength
ened by the advent of wealthy syn

had passed through the clerks Office

"Yes, sir" said the private secre-

stop it,"
The secretary looked up sharply:
"What?" he calculated.
II was thinking" continued the pri-
vate secretary, "of John Bailey. He
could save the situation il he would"
"Bah!" said the secretary. HE
would not touch u.s."
There was silence for little time,
and then the private secretary spoke
again. 1t was to make most unusual
request.
II should be much obliged, sir" he
said, "if you could allow me to take a
days holiday tomorrow"
The secretary looked at the young
man keenly for moment. Then he
replied: 5
"You can have the holiday. Tell
them outside not to disturb us for half
an hour; can see you've got some
thing to say to me-"
At the end of half an hour the pri-
vate secretary passed out of the Sec

Wells IN UNIVERSAL VOGUE.
Chiffon and TuIle Are Popular for
the Face and Draperies
ON the Hat.


Wells may be said to be the universal
vogue with fashionable women at pres
ent, and in those of the European coun-
tries from which we draw advices of
the mode and supplies of millinery
wares. The veilings continue to be of
chiffon and tulle-the former variously
worn over the face, and used for drap-
cry on hats-the latter worn exclu-
siveiy over the face. Whether of one
or the other gossamer tissue, they are
this season mostly in black and white,
or in gray effects of black and white,
or of white and black. the fancy of the
existing mode seeming not much to
favor fancy colors in these tissues, says
the Millinery Trade Review. Wafer
spots and the other figures of velvet
in black and white relieve the veilings
both of chiffon and tulle, while chiffon
gossamers show in some cases embroi-
derry and other enrichments of design
threadingtraceries, seeding and other
interesting conceits, of design, tending
to their identifying effect upon their
fair wearers.
The "Elsie" veil, which has fanciful
bordering at the lower edge, and is
worn to fall loosely, after the man.
ner of the wells of lace of two score
years ago, or in the days of our moth
ers, is just now much affected for the
beauty veil; although seen mostly in
chiffon, printing on tulle is among the
new ideas to give variety to the manu-
facture for yelling purposes. and large
open meshings vary the close of ma
lines weaves. When the range in price
for wells, from IL cents to $12, is quoted
the range in variety and quality Of
manufacture can be imagined.

HER BOW TO SOCIETY.


How shall girl be introduccd7-
at reception, at a dance or at Sc
ries of dinners given by the immedi-
ate family or by friends? The old
fashioned reception covered multi
tude of sins, for it was possible, even
with an enormously long visiting
list, to give on entertainment anil
not hurt any ones feelings, since all
ages could be included in the invita-
tons and, like wedding, many indi-
viduals of social standing, who hal
not taken any prominent part in So
cial life, could be remembered. For
the last few years, however, these
large afternoon receptions have been
going out of fashion, says society
paper.
Four days are often chosen when
the mother and daughter receive
their friends. The idea of the four
days is that there may not be too
many people present at one time. The
difficulty is that each one of the
guests is likely to wait until the last
day, SO that the preceding afternoons
will be dull, and the fourth so crowd
ed as to be unbearable. With long
visiting list, even after it has been re-
vised by some social mentor, it is i'm
possible to invite even desirable ac-
quaintances to dinner and to go
through the list would be to take up
every evening during the season. A
dance can include but one set, or, at
the most, two-the debutantes and
the younger married people-and
then there will be no end of heart
burnings and jealousies, for few pr;-
vate houses have ball rooms large
enough to invite everybody who is de-
sirable and to maintain rigid exclu-
siveness is possible only to a favored
few. But this problem has to be
faced by many mothers of debutante
daughters, and consequently there
will be every form of entertainment
given. The old-fashioned reception
card to the effect that Mr.. and Mrs
and Miss Blank will be at home from
four to seven will be the accepted
form of invitation, and Mrs. Blank
and Miss Blank will receive Mrs.

Prof. Blank, who was born dry, and
is prone to thrust his dryness upon
others, recently achieved additional
dryness for himself. He was among a
large party shooting on the moors of
Scotland. Suddenly heavy storm of
rain came on. No shelter was at hand,
and the sportsmen were drenched. All,
at least, but Prof. Blank. He had
mysteriously disappeared when the
rain came on, and rejoined the party
when the sun was shining again. To
their amazement, the erudite one was
as dry as one of his own books. How
did you manage to escape wetting?"
growled one of the dripping sports
men. "As soon as the rain came on l
went off by myself" returned Prof.
Blank, blandly, Slipped off all my
clothes, and sat down on them till the
shower was over."-Liverpool Post.
