STOCKS OF LACE INSERTIONS.

There is a pretty stock which is
youthful and always becoming. 1t is
made Of insertion, through which rib
boDs are run. The band IS just wide
enough and just long enough for the
neck, and the ribbons are run through
1t and tied at the back. Three or -four
narrow ribbons are very neat If
motted in little bows at the back of the
neck, just under the low coiffure. This
sort of stock can be worn with any
dress.
And there is another stock that is
quite as easy to make. and it is one
that has been worn a great deal this
summer. 1t is made by taking a strip
OF lace insertion eighteen inches long
and finishing it with little hooks and
eyes for the back of the neck, At the
front there are fastened two tabs, side
by side. The tabs are made by sewing
lace medallions together. Take three
medallions and attach them in such
way as to make two tags. Sew them
TO the neck, so that they hang neatly
over the bust. This gives something Of
the stole effect and is very becoming.
The tulle choux are now made small
er and rounder, so that they look like
a little ball Of cloud. They are light,
airy and very becoming. Brooklyn

 Southern Superintendent of the same company, and E. c. Knight, Superintendent of Shelter No. 3, at Monterey. When asked relative to the erection of the proposed 1000 ton smelter at Velardena, Mir. Gug genheim said 1t would certainly be built, ground for it had been sur veyed and work would be com menced by the first of the year.
 Fl Paso Herald. It is believed that the desire for reaching the west coast of Mexico as quickly as possible is due principally to the fact that the completion of the Pa mama canal will place the coun- try's western coast in easier com munication with the eastern mar kets, and the railroad reaching the west coast will have q very great advantage over all other competi- tors. There is belief that the Orient will be the first railroad to reach the west coast of Mexico, with possibly the Central q close second. Indications now point to energetic work on the construction of the stilwell line from now on, as 1t is said that President Stilwell has succeeded in securing plenty of funds to push the road ahead in Mexico, which is being done at the present time.
 Torreon Enterprise. A report covering the operations of the i'm mense plant of the American Smelling & Refining Company at Aguascalientes for the fiscal year l903-4 has been made public. Itl shows that ore to the amount oft 343,218,647 kilograms, or about 3T3,000 tons, was treated in the twelve months. This was an in- crease of 37,750,640 kilograms com pared with the preceding fiscal year. l The average number fmen employ ed during the yearwas 1 ,637 against 1,564 employed the year before and the wages paid amounted to S610,Sf1, Mexican currency, an in- ' crease of $5S,924 over the wages paid in the fiscal year 1902-3. In the construction of two new fur | naces and in other improvements to the plant the company spent nearly $500,000.

TIBETAN INTOLERANCE.

To show the severity and tyranny of the authorities over their subjects, will relate what happened to one of my escort for complying with most harmless request which, unfortunate ly, had made to him.
 One morning when starting for tte hills, as usual fin search of game, we happened to pass the spot where our escort had spent the night. I noticed that one of the party-the youngest .al1d most pleasant looking of tho group-was. seated on the ground re pairing the soles of his boots with some narrow stripes of hide. Remem- bering that one of a pair of my own shooting boots required mending, 1 asked Dhun Singh to take it over to the man when we returned in the evening. and to try and get him to do what was required. On the following morning my boot was brought back to me, roughly repaired, but once more fit for use. sent a small pres ent to my Tartar friend, and thought no more about it. Some days after- ward, while I was in my tent about midday, Dhun Singh called me out side. The poor fellow who had mend ed my boots was standing beside him. The other three of the Tartar guard were not in sight. Glancing anxious ly behind him, to make sure that he was not being watched, the man sud denly threw off his sheepskin coat, exposing his back and shoulders, ard showing that. he had been recently most cruelty and shamefully beaten with the lash. To my astonishment, Dhun Singh informed me that this terrible punishment was the result of the Tartar's having complied with the small request had made to him to repair my boot.-Captain J. H. Baldwin in Chambers Journal.

A NATIVE VIEW OF
 MOROCCAN PERFORM. ''

ssWhen the days, of the Grand were flllfilled,'' the Hadji continued grayely 4shfs enemies came into power. His brother. the Chamberlain, and his brother. the War Minister, died sud- denly. No wise man sought too part1c- ularly to know the cause of their death. Christians came to the court elevated by Allah and said to my Lord Albd-el Aziz. Be as the Sultans of the West" And they brought him their abominations--the wheeled things that fall if left alone, but support a man who mounts them, as suppose in the name of Shalaitan, the picture boxes that multiply images of True Believers and are wisely forbidden by the ar-Seeing Book, carriages drawn by invisible djinns, who scream and struggle, but must stay and work, small spirits that dance and sing. The Christians knew that my Lord was but a younp man, and so they brought these things and my Lord gave them of his riches and conversed with them familiarly as though they had been of the house of Grand Schareef. But in the far east of the Maghreb the French closed the oases of Tuat and Tidikelt without rebuke, and burned the villages and destroyed the true be- lievers with guns containing green devils. and said: We do all this that we rule, to gather his taxes peacefully out fear of robbers" Then my Lord sent the War Minister. the Kaid M'heddi el Menebhi. to London, and he saw your sultan face to face. And vour sultan's viziers said to him: C,1I&o AF In q we rule, to gather his taxespeacefully ana without force, to open his ports No feed his prisoners, to follow the wisdom of the west If he will do this. assuredIy his kingdom shall new CT be moved.'' Therefore they took the Kaid and showed him their places, their pleasures and the power of their devil ships that move without sails over the face of the waters, and their unveiled women. who pass without shame before the eyes of men. Now, though the Kaid said nothing, he re membered all these things, and when he returned, and by the aid of your own Bashador in Tanjah, prevailed over the enemies who had set snares in his path while he fared abroad, he stood before the face of my Lord and told him all he had seen. Thereupon my Lord Abd-el-Aziz sought to change that which had gone before, to make d new land as quickly as the stork makes nest, or the boar of the Atlas whom the hunter has disturbed makes a new lair. And the land grew confused; 1t was no more the Magh
 reb. but it assuredly was not as the land of the west."-S. L. Bensusan II MacmilIan's Magazine.

BoLo STRUCK UPON THE HnAD.

Bolo, the African dodger, had a hard day at Savin Rock the Fourth. Early in the morning he took his position be- hind the canvas, sticking his head through a hole, where he posed as 2 victim for all descriptions of deliy- cries. Three balls for Ave-" sang out the boy tending the counter and as soon as one man finished throwing aEM Bolo's head, another would try his luck This was kept up all day long and the dodger didn't even have n chance to satisfy his hunger at no0n. He was continuously on the jump from morning till night and dodged successfully all throws aimed at his cocoanut Big men and little boys tested their throwing ability and some tried as many as a dozen times to crack Bolo on the head. The prize for hitting the colored individual was a cigar for each time and box of twenty-five cigars lasted all day and the next morning there were tWenty-four cigars left in the box This was because only one man was successful in directing the ball in the range of the dodgers head. It was late in the evening, after BoIo had performed hard days work and was tired from twisting his neck
  that he met his Waterloo A big man
 stepped up to the stand, planked down nickel and picked three balls. An inshoot,' shouted the man. and indeed | it was, but Bolo lodged the rapadlN
 moving sphere, with not much time to spare He didn't laugh this time and yell. .sYou never can hit me as al other times. He instead pinned bis opp l tics mon the man behind the ball and
 dancing on his toes said, Shoot away old man. MT. Man did shoot away The next ball he threw with more
 speed than the first. It was anotheE
 wide inshoot. Bo1o dodged, but alas
 the ball connected with Bolo's cEa nium. It struck him square1y upon
 the head He fell to the ground amid
 cheers and applause from the onloolps CTS. Bolo was injured He was unas
 ble to- get up from the ground When. assistance was given him 1t was found
 he was unconscious Three front teeth
 had been knocked out and his head ] was badly bruised Iad cut He was l suffering from cut on his left cheek,
 which he struck when fallfng to the
 ground. The man when taking bis
 cigar said that it wasn't the first coon he had knocked out and that he can do f. every time. One of the boys eHns'
 nIoyed at the stand was substituted for Rolo after his injury. but the man with l tbe acurate aim and powerful arm was refused another throw.
 1 The dodger was taken to his home

SWUNG FROM PIER.

Hanging by his hands from the edge of an East River pier, Thomas Sullivan for twenty minutes bore the weight of a man who seized his legs after jumping into the river to save a drowning boy.
 Early yesterday afternoon George Prunze,S. of No 235 East Ninety seventh street, fell from a loose plank stretched across two newly driven piles at the foot of East Ninety-fifth street. None of the workmen was near him when he fell.
 George s. Clark of No 290 Seventh street, an employe of the dock depart ment, heard the boys cries for help and running to where the lad was struggling in fifty feet of water, jump ed in after him.
 While Clark was swimming with the boy toward the pier the boy caught his rescuer around the neck almost strangling him.
 Clark called for help and Thomas Sullivan, one of his fellow workers ran to a point near Clark and the boy in the water Sullivan dropped over the edge of the pier, hanging by his hands. His feet touched the water
 Clark seized Sullivan's feet just as he was about to sink with the boy and held on with all his strength.
 The boy had become unconscious Edark was growing weaker. It was : question how long Sullivan could hans there by his hands and sustain the weight of the man and the boy.
 Charles Woodiker, foreman at tht pier showed out toward Clark and tho boy on a small float. By that time Clark was almost exhausted. He was about to release his hold on Sullivan: feet when Woodiker caught him by both shoulders. Then Woodiker helt Clark and the boy above water while Sullivan slowly pulled himself up tt the wharf. aided by bystanders. l small boat was soon alongside tn, float, the boy was taken away iron Clark, and Clark himself was helped to the boat
 A call was sent to the Presbyterian Hospital, and Dr. Cramer responded The boy could not be revived at tn pier and was taken to the hospital where his condition is serious. Clarl refused any aid, as did Sullivan.

WOLF FISH IN PUGET SOUND.

One of the greatest freaks of the fish family, an oyster cracker or cattt, also known as wolf fish, is now in the possession of the Morgan Oyster Company. 1t is one of the most GUS fous specimens of fish ever taken. Only two others of it's kind, so far as known, have been caught in Puget Sound. This one was caught in the oyster beds between Chico and Silver dale, Port Washington bay, by K. Hoover. He> had out about 100 set lines last Wednesday,, and good sized fish hung up on one of the hooks. Along came the oyster crack fer, and, pSratelike, swallowed fish, hook and and all. It was a strong line, likewise a strong hook, and. the pirate was unable to extricate him. self. Hoover brought the strange in- habitant of the deep to this city.
 This particular oyster cracker has head like sheep's. It is fully as large. The jaws are massive and studded with teeth with the strength and durability of steel. With them it crushes oyster shells and crabs with the ease that hog devours an acorn. The wolf fish is 6 feet and 1 inch long and weighs 9 pounds. When cleaned for preservation, oyster shells whole fish, crabs and other small sea Inhabitants were found in the oyste. crackers stomach.
 This wolf fish has 6 sets of moIars one for each upper and lower jaw and one in the center above and below It's front teeth are long and pointed
 The back teeth or crushers are thick
 and shorter--Seattle Post-Intelligen cer.

THE THRIFTY P1EDMoNrEsE.

Tn character the Piedmontese are very unlike the popular conception of the Italian people. As a class tbe peasants are sober, industrious and thrifty. They have not the gay and lnsouciant temperament of the ItaI- lans of the south, but are stoltd and unemotional. There Is indeed T c,1r- 1ous resemblance in temperament be- tween the Piedmontese and the Rret- Ons,.
 The following instance of the thrift of the peasants has in it a touch of pathos. On one occasion, having giv- en cigar to a boaro (herdsmaa0, I found afterward that the precious weed had lasted the recipient whole month, few whiffs only being taken after the evening meal, and then it was carefully laid aside till the next evening.
 Whether the custom which still ob- tains in some parts of Piedmont of regarding the harmless, necessary domestic cat as a delicate morsel is to be put down to thrift or merely to a perverted appetite is doubtful, but it is well known that to fill the pot au-feu of a Piedmontese peasant is the usual fate of wandering or home less felfnes.-Eustace Reynolds-BaIl in Chambers Journal.

President Takes to the Woods.

OYSTER BAY, N. Y, July 7.--Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, accompanied by their children, left Sagamore Hill for an outing across the bay. AS no visit ors had engagements to see the presi- dent he embraced eagerly the opportu- nifty to pass the day with his family on the water and in the woods. Shortly after breakfast the party embarked in rowboats at the J. West Roosevelt pier. The weather was ideal, and scarcely a ripple disturbed the waters of the bay. It was the intention of the family to land at some sequestered nook several miles from Sagamore Hill to eat lunch con, which was taken along in the boat.
