DR.. Hartman receives many letters from,
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit,

UP IN THE ATTIC.

Up in the attic where mother gees
lis trunk in shadowed nook
A trunk-and its lid she will oft unclose,
AS if 'twere precious book.
She kneels at its side on the attic boards,
And tenderiy, soft and slow,
She counts all the treasures she iondly
boards
The things Of long ago.
"A yellowirg dress, once the sheerest white
That shimmered in joyous pride
She looks at it now with the girls delight
That was hers when she stood bride.
There is a ribbon of faded blue
She keeps with the satin gown;
Buckles and lace-and little shoe;
Sadly she lays them down.
Up in the attic where mother goes
Is trunk in a shadowed nook
a trunk-with the scent of withered rose
On the satin and shoe and lace,
None of us touches its battered lid,
But safe in its niche it stays,
Sacred to all that her heart has hid
Gold Of the other days.

or woman wants to, be bothered with
the weighty folds. At dance one OF
these handsome velvets is impossible.
Younger women are wearing the light
velvet, and that is a novelty. These
vclvets are not of greater weight than
taffeta. and have all the sheen and lus-
ire of the thick velvets. The new vel
vet is the handsomest fabric on the
market and needs little or no trimming.
In the shops these light velvets are
sold from So to SIS yard. Velvets are
in great demand for evening wear,
and silks are decreasing in favor.

Goats.

Fl. G. Stephens. of the st. Charles
Hotel. has long been interested IN goats
and is regarded as an authority on
that humble animal. Few people
know the many admirable qualities OF
the coat,' he said. Goats are the
only animals that will boldly face
fire. and they are often kept in stables
for the sole purpose of leading horses
from the stalls in case Of conHaSra-
ton. Horses, you know, will burn 10
death before moving from the flames
unless some other animal leads them
out. Goats can foretell stormy wealth
er and invariably find shelter before
2 storm arrives. Even in domesticat-
ed life the goat loves to Chamber about
on dizzy heights and will generally be
found on a crag of rock, or II that 1s
not available. on the roof of a barn,
or the top of barrel. The most val
uable variety of goat is the Cashmlr,
whose soft, silky hair furnishes ma
terial for expensive fabrics. Inc
Cashmir is a native of Thibet, but the
shawls are made in France, Germany
and. IN later years, in the United
States. To make a aingle shawl a
yard and a half square. at least ten
coats are robbed of their coats.
Il now have pet goat nearly twen-
ty years old. She is almost as intelli-
gent as a human being and knows a
lot of tricks, and is so strong that !
can ride her with ease. l have seen
specimens of the famous snake-eating
goat of India. 1t is said that these
goats devour the most dangerous rep
tiles and have absolutely no fear of
the poisonous vermin with which the
country abounds. Milwaukee Even

Etamine and Voiles.

Examines and voiles are no longer
confined to woods, but are plentiful!
among the cottons and linens. Among
the linens are etamines in plain, mixed
and boucle effects. AS yet these are
mainly old blue, old red or gray greens
mixed with white. A cotton voile has
a chine surface mingling soft pink
blue and cream.

Lace Requirements.

The most admired real laces for deep
collars, handkerchiefs, neckbands, with
tab ends, or stole finish,' are Vene-
tan laces, Duchesse, and Duchesse
with Brussels point. and Brussels
point de gaze, as well as point de Vim
Use. Real laces of this day are very
apt to be mixed in style. as Brussels
point with Duchesse. Milanese, Mech
lin and Maltese laces represent an in
dividual choice more particularly.
There is something beautiful and dain-
ty about real Milanese lace, its close
designs suggesting point de Venise.
Flounces, berthas, collarettes and the
different styles of neckband laces must
be real now to be the correct thing.

Play Denotes Intelligence.

Play distinguishes the higher from
the lower animals, as it signifies pos
sibility of education. Fishes do not
play at all; the lower mammals can
hardly be taught to play, and birds
are entirely devoid of the instinct. But
the kitten and the lamb are essentially
playing animals. The human young,
however, are the true players, and, in
reality, it is play that develops them
into manhood. "Children," says DR..
Hutchinson, "are born little an1orphous
bundles Of possibilities, and are played
into shape" 40. '-''- - - -n-I-

The Bridal Gown.

While white satin still remains a
favorite for wedding gowns, many
bridal gowns are being made OF fine
white cloth, adorned with chiffon OF
lace. 1t drapes well, falling in long,
graceful lines, and is soNewhat out OF
the conventional line, as well as Won

INSPECTORS Attend to Their Business.

Inspectors Attend to Their BUSINESS.
Last year in Austria thirteen factor
les were closed by the inspectors be-
cause the factory laws were not
obeyed. Altogether 1918 factories
were visited. $50 manufacturers were
found to be negligent, and 142 were
fined to the amount Of $3.50.
AS there are nearly 100, 900 factories in
Austria it will be seen that the system
Of inspection is not very complete. Out
Of every 100 factories eighty-three are
not inspected. But Austria has at
least made a beginning.-New York

The sharp bodice point is newer than
the ronunded line and is seen upon the
latest imported models for evening
wear, but the ordinary dressmaker has
not vet learned the trick of it, and
it must be cleverly cut and boned If il
is to stay in place.

Fabric Hats.

Fabric hats, which came into vogue
with the embroidered muslin hats Of
the summer, are still in high favor for
girls. These are made of cloth or
changeable glace silk, with pictur-
esque flappy brims, and rosettes rs
the trimming feature. A curtain ruff
f1e on the edge Of the brim is an attrac-
tive and childish touch that gives de-
cided chic.

Of ihe art Of wa that lies beyond the Crin ground and the target range. Congress has provided for this on account Of the Tact that. while q command that can shoot straight and driIi with precision has a good foundation for war. il must still learn 6 great deal more before it is ready for actual service.
 The art Of operating in the vicinity of an enemy can best be learned oy ac- tual work in the field.

 The camp will be placed on d tract Of flat ground on Atascado creek and about mile and half from the Southern Pacific station of that name ten miles beyond Paso Robles. IL will be in the center of the Rancho del Encinal, containing 10000 acres of rolling and hull country, more or less covered with oak trees.
 The camp will be commanded by Maj.-Gien. Arthur MacArthur, of the the regular army. Neither drills nor sham battles will form any part Of the maneuVefS

DREADFUL ACCIDENT.
Two Men Killed and Another Wounded
 in Premature Explosion.

4 dreadful accident occurred at the Starlight mines on the strip last week in which Thomas Emory and Benj- Gasawav were badly wounded, the cause Of the accident being the pre- mature explosion Oi a blasi in the end of ,he thousand loot tunnel.
 l. is reported that an inferior. class oi fuse was being used and tbat the day before. several holes were put in the side oi the tunnel, but that when the fuse was lighted the miner in charge SAW toe danger and warned the men with him 10 run. This they did but had not gone very far when the charge exploded. Report further says that several miners refused to work any longer. Next dag Foreman Ben Ga-away. accompanied by his brother, Perry, and Thomas Emory, went into the tunnel 10 complete the work left unfinished the day before. IL is as- serted that neither Of the men were experienced miners.
 Several stories are told d. 10 how the accident occurred, but Perry Gasaway is the only living witness to the tragedy, and it is said he has given more than one version Of the affair.
 The story that reaches here is that when first questioned about it he said that they had loaded fourteen holes and had lighted some Of them when suddenly one exploded, knocking his brother down and filling one ol his sides with fragments of rock. He and Emory started to run but he stopped and called to his brother to know 1T be was killed. An answer came back that he was not and asked the other two not to leave him.
 The indications are that Emory re- turned to the assistance of Gasaway and got back to him just in time to get the next shot full in the breast. Ii this story is correct this Is the shot that killed both men. or course we cannot vouch for the absolute correct ness Of the above story in detail but it ceytainly appears that blame attaches to some one.
