stitches Of embroidery fnery; It writes
letters to her friends, and it guides the
mallet which makes music on her metala-
phone. Miss TunisOn's tongue is very
ruIy member. indeed. Never having had
the use of her hands, Miss TunisOn has
thrown her full dependence upon the
tongue, which, through the loss OF all
other members, is abnOrmally acute and
gifted.
Miss Tunison is a bright-faced woman
of thirty. All day long she sits strapped
in a wheeled chair, specially constructed
for her. A wide board is attached across
the front, something like that of child's
high chair. This is her work table, and
or il she has her boxes of cOlOred cray
ons, her work basket, filed with spOOls
of thread, needle books and endless little
odds and ends. There. too. she has her
writing pad and several inch and half
long pencils, sharpened by some friendly
hand. When only years old Miss Tunt-

also in her mouth, in some way pass the
cord through the eyelet, amusing herself
for hours stringing buttons. Later she
began to sew.
To see Miss TunisOn thread a needle
preparatory to doing her embroidery
makes one almost doubt ones eyes First
she takes the little needlebook from out
her work basket, laying it before her;
then a weight, specially made for the
purpose. is taken up by the teeth and
placed upon One-half of 1t to hold IL firm
while she removes the needle desired.
this done, she sticks IL straight up in the
table before her. Then a thread is wound
off the required length and cut by means
Of a scissors manipulated in the same
marvellous way. Her tongue takes up
the thread and through it's exquisite sense
Of feeling passes it through the eye of the
needle in as short time as the average
steady hand and eye require.
The bit of cambric or linen on which
she is to embroider Is taken out and un-
folded in the same way and the weight
placed upon one corner of 1t to hold It
down while sewing Holding the needle
with her tongue, she places it where de-

does over and over again, tracing and

what comes spontaneously to her mind

mean tears. but no one who Is fortunate
enough to own them ever permits that to
stand In their way. But with opals,
to great extent, it is different. There
are hosts of people who admire the
changing fire, but who would not dream
of putting one on for a single instant In
emitting their fire and IuSter they also
send forth all kinds Of sickness, sorrow
end distress. Bad luck is their only
mission in this world and woe be unto the
unwary who are not the children of Oc-
teber.
There was time when any one taking
the last piece Of bread on the plate would
certainly be an old maid, and nothing
could make 1t otherwise. However, one
sweet day this idea exploded and now
the girl who is fortunate enough to get
the last bit is married to a handsome
lord of creation within the year. This will
probably be the fate of the opal. They
will probably remain under their bane
until some sweet day that little theory
will explode also, and then there will not
be enough Of them to supply the general
demand.
Cigarette cases, match boxes and the
like have changed their faces well as
other articles of ornament. Heretofore
they have been elaborate, but now they
are quite simple. The more expensive
ones may have an enameled dog, the head
Of horse or some other animal, but there
is not the vestige Of a scroll or any
fancy designs.
Toilet sets have spruced up a bit, toe.
Instead of silver they are frequently made
of gold and inlaid with enamel or incrust-
ed with pearls or other stones. The
chief attraction in this fad is that they
are by no means common. and when they
are set with jewels to match the furnish
ings of the room they are most desirable.
Their label Is Don't tarnish," and that
means a great deal 10 the busy society
girl who is rushing hither and thither in
her mad whirl after gayety.
There is scarcely an article which one
could mention that has not felt the rush
of the times. Even the jewels themselves
seem to be a secondary consideration. A
stone that attracts the eye is used in a
variety of ways but always as fantasti-
cally as possible. Often it is almost COW
cred with the metal with just the faintest
hint of color peeping out from some
strange and unlocked for place. The bar
barrie but artistic is coming into its own
again.

ably never will be a time when fads are

Caution!

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to
purchase the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and
treatment of consumption and throat
and lung troubles without losing its
great popularity all these years, you
will be thankful we called your atten.
ton to Boschee's German Syrup. There
are so many ordinary cough remedies
made by druggists and others that are
cheap and good for light colds perhaps,
but for severe coughs, bronchitis, GROUP
and especially for consumption,
where there is difficult ex~pectoration
and coughing during the nights and
lornings, there is nothing like German
Syrup. The 25-cent size has Just been
introduced this year. Regular size, rs
cents. At all druggists. j. H. O'Rielly

Plans submitted by Chas. F. Whittle-

Bright Angel Tavern, as the new
hostelry may be called, will cost about
500, 900. 1t will be under the manage
ment of Fred Harvey.

been adopted, native stone and logs
being used as far as practicable. A
hotel of this kind has been made nee

Supreme Court Knocks Out the Long
and Short Haul Clause.

n onort Hdul clause
In a decision by the United States
supreme court in a case against the
Louisville & Nashville and other
southern roads the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce act
practically is nullified. The court up
holds the right of these roads to
charge more for the haul from New
Orleans to La Grange than for Inc
haul from New Orleans TO Atlanta,
although La Grange is se~venty-eight
miles nearer.
The explanation is made by the
court that Atlanta is the competitive
point, and that the rate there may be
used as a basis, so that the railroad
shipping from La Grange to New Or
leans will have the right to charge the
rate from New Orleans to Atlanta,
with the rate from Atlanta back to La
Grange added.
The court said the lower rate to At
lanta vas justified by the e~Xigencies OF
competition. On the other hand, the
rate from New Orleans to Montgomery
the nearest competitive point on the
other side of La Grange, added to the
local rate from Montgomery TO La
Grange, would make a higher rate
than that complained of, while the

Check Was Worthless.

Ed Jaramillo of San Antonio was
here Monday in search of a fellow
who got the best of him in a deal in
that town last Sunday night. The
man with his wife was travelling south
by wagon. At Jaramillo's store he de-
sired to buy a bill of goods. He had a
check of the First National bank of
Albuquerque for s175. He received 500
worth of groceries and a local check
for IS in exchange for the Albuquerque
check. The fellow said he would be
in town a few days and when Ed
cashed the check next day he would
call and receive the balance due him.
He skipped that night. The check
proved to be NORTHEASTERN Marcial

railroads would be justified in charg-
ing it.
The decision will prevent the inter
state commerce commission from pros
e%cuting any more cases where the rail
roads are accused of charging higher
rates to local points for shorter dis
tances than to competitive points for
longer distances, although no water
competition has to be met.
The Southern Pacific for years has
beer charging much higher rates to
interior points in California than to
San Francisco and Los Angeles, and it
was claimed that this was in violation
of the law. The supreme courts decis-
ion justifies the roads action.
