EARRINGS Worn AGAIN.

The wearing Of earrings is custom
that should be adopted with caution
and the form of the earrings left very
much to the individual taste Of the
wearer. They have never quite COMO
out Of fashion, and they certainly have
not quite come in. A tall woman can
wear longer styles than short one,
and perhaps the increased height of
the English women will give an i'm
petus to the wearing Of longer ear
rings.
Americans have great prediction
for them. Parisians are fitful In their
appreciation. At present it is pearls
and diamonds that are most worn. and
some women are wearing odd ones,
white pearl in one ear and pink one
in the other, or a white and black
one. Pear-shaped pearls are we'll suit
ed to earrings. Studs of colored stones,
quite minute. are favorite style of
fashionable earrings.

wayoral PRIVILEGE.

A curious privilege attaches to the
Office OF mayor of Limerick From
time immemorial the mayor has
claimed the right to a quarter OF a
ton of coal out OF every cargo Import
ed into the town. The coal merchants
recently objected to paying this trlb-
ute, and a test case was taken to the
local quarter sessions. The magis-
trates decided in favor Of the mayor.
That official receives over 100 tons OF
coal from this source every year and
distributes It among the poor Of the
town, although there is no legal rea-
son why he should not use 1t for his
own private purposes.

Asleen Seventeen Years.

DR.. Herbst, in the wiener Medizini'
schen Presse," tells Of a woman named
Gersine Meyer, who, falling asleep In
1886, remained in that state for seven
teen years. During that period the
woman's eyes we're closed, but she
was otherwise in possession of her
faculties. She was nourlshed with
pap. milk and eggs and invariably
made movements with her mouth
when she wanted to drink. During
the seventeen years she suffered from
colds and an attack Of influenza. These
ailments had no effect on her sleep.
When at last the woman awoke she
had the feeling that she had only been
asleep during the night.

Elsb.rmen Get More Money.

A Rockland, Me-, lobster dealer,
who ships extensively TO the south
and west, has kept a careful tabula-
ton Of the prices in the past four
years. and finds that the fishermen
have been receiving a steady increase.
In 1900 the smackmen. or middlemen.
paid to the fisherman an average Of
1885 cents per lobs.-; In 1901 the
price Jumped to 1912 cents. The next
year Il was 1888 cents. and last year
It was 17.1s cents. The minimum
price paid during that period was
about cents, and the maximum price

Spring Hat Trimming.

Leather strapping is popular trim
ming for spring hats. The simplest of
sailors have no other decoration than
a band of leather and buckle, while
the more pretentious affairs are strap
ped around the crowns, brims are
caught up or down, wings and quilts
are held in place, and even bows are
made secure, all with the aid of dainty
straps of leather and brass buckles.
The ssxne form of decoration may be
seer IN the newest spring suits. Cuffs
collars and belt of bright colored
leather make an elegant as we'll as
simple trimming, and a very beautiful
effect may be obtained by having the
leather stamped with conventional
pattern in gold and using gold buttons.

The specimen at the park came from
South Africa, where the species ranges
from Orange river north to Victoria
Nyanza. There seems to be no doubt
that the wild grotesqueness Of the APP
pearance of the gnu is a provision OF
nature to protect the animal. When

DECORATING skirts.

Skirts are no longer decorated with
patches Of trimming in the way OF
applications of lace or of passemen-
terie, or with streamers Of any sort.
The correct style is to place all the
decoration around the hem. Two
stitched folds of taffeta silk the exact
shade of the gown sewed on half an
inch apart make a pretty finish on
even the thinnest fabrics. For heav.

means an idea new In mechanics.
Twenty-seven hundred years ago, in
the little nation of the Chaldees, adj
joining Armenia, the water turblhe
was known, and built, and used In
milling. 1t was then called the Shell
Wheel" The wheel was used In a
horizontal position, no effort being
made to secure the greatest value OF
the water pressure. The wheel was
connected to a vertical shaft which
turned the stone and ground the grain
into a coarse -four.
Near the city OF Van, believed to
have been built 1000 years b. c., there
still remain canals in q good state
Of preservation. One Of them, sixty
miles long, is now used for irrigation
and power. At one time, centuries
agone, there were forty mills on this
canal, and to-day the remains OF these
ancient institutions may be seen.
Flour mills, driven by these simple
turbines, of the same type as was used
there 2,70O years ago, are still In
operation.
The Deutcher Mueller, Berlin, Gays:
"These turbines were brought to the
notice OF the modern world and quite
generally adopted in Europe from 1850
to 1880. These Chaldees are not to be
COMPOUNDED with the Chaldeans o.

Claimed to Be Without a Rival In the
World.
The most remarkable fountain In the
world Is that at Chatsworth, the most
beautiful residence in England, as
Blenheim is the most imposing, the
largest and most astonishing. 1t was
named the Emperor Fountain in honor
of visit paid by the car of Russia
to England about 1850. On the side Of
hill behind the palace is stone
temple, from which at will can be
turned on torrents Of water which fall
down In cascades upon the wide steps
made to receive them, and thence into
canals. These water works are copies
Of those at Versailles. The fountain
consists Of single Jet that leaps from
the garden to height OF 267 feet.
Doesn't that seem Incredible? The
next highest fountain in the world was
at Wilhelmshohe, In Hesse Cassel,
with a jet rising 100 feet. The YER
sailles fountain is only. ninety feet
high, that at Peterhoff in Russia 800
feet, and that at St. Cloud 100 feet.

which ordered the machine. Three
members of the company are said to
have pledged $1,000 each toward de-
fraying the cost. 1t seems that the
company is determined to have every
thing about its quarters in keeping
with the character of the new ma
chine. A handsome and commodious
new engine house is now being erect

The Mormon church Is in politics.,
and its political action IS controlled

president and other leaders of Nor
monism are, is now better known to
the country than ever before. With
the Mormon church repudiating inn
moral practices and concerning itself
with purely religious affairs, the
country could not interfere or find
fault. But when an organization
such as that which President Smith
controls attempts, under the guise OF
ecclesiastical and religious control, to
dominate politics and to nullify law,
the people of the United States will
not take a very lenient view. The
senate has full and final right to
judge of the qualifications of its own
members. If it should decide that,
in view of the present character of
the Mormon hierarchy and it's falsity
to the terms upon which Utah was
admitted, it prefers not to allow 9
