USES OF GOLD AND SILVER.
Will BE Somewhat in Evidence as
Trimming ON Spring
COstumes.

The terms silver and gold are used
lightly in the fashion world, whereas
once they were used cautiously, because
they represented the expenditure of so
much money. But such is not now the
case; and one can go as resplendent as
a glittering monarch without giving up
more than would be the price of any
baser metal, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
In her visiting costume the smart
woman who likes striking effects can 20

made of metal links are in again and her
waist can glitter like the sun from the
mock jewels that are to be found in the
belt.
There are very few handsome gowns
which do not sport little gold and sill
yer and some are largely trimmed with
it, for there are silver incrustations upon
the waist and there are silvered panels
upon the skirt, all done by hand, and
made out of the finest and most delicate.
the thinnest yet the most brilliant, of
silver braid. The designs are intricate
and the pattern is fairly stiff with silver,
One very effective way to use very
narrow gold braid is to border cloth
panels with it. These are used to trim
skirts and also to strap waists. And lust
along the edge there can be placed very
narrow border of gold braid. Every
three or four inches there can be planted
a brilliant little gold button.

OVERDUE STEAMER ARRIVES
French Liner Pro Patria, Thought to
Have Been Lost, Returns Safe
~ to st. Pierre.

Halifax, N. S.. March 1.-THE
French line steamer Pro Patria,
thought to have been lost, arrived at
st. Pierre Wednesday. She had been
out more than two weeks from St.
Pierre bound for Halifax She was
caught in the ice and remained help
less for many days.
The Pro Patria sailed from st. Pierre
for Halifax March 1, and should have
been here March 2 or g. There had
been much anxiety, especially at St.
Pierre. The crew consisted of 20 men,
and the passengers numbered nearly 40.
The steamer escaped serious dam
age, though she had to use some Of
her woodwork for fuel. She struck
heavy ice two hours after leaving St.
Pierre, and four hours later was COM
pletely hemmed in and stopped In
this position she remained until Tues
day. There was little lack of food. as
the steamers cargo included quantities
of provisions, which were used to sup
plement the vessels usual supply. All
on board were reported we'll. The Pro
Patria was at no time more than 25
miles distant from st. Pierre harbor.

A REMARKABLE REQUEST.
Sailor Condemned to Death Asks Gov.
ernor to Prevent Attempt to
Delay Execution.

Albany, N. Y, March 17.-Gov Odell
has received most extraordinary let
ter from a man condemned to death for
murder, requesting the interference of
the executive to prevent any attempt to
delay the execution. The writer is
Frank H. Burmese, a sailor, convicted in
Brooklyn of the murder of George B.
Townsend, the captain of his vessel. He
is confined in Sing Sing prison and was
to have been executed February 8, but
the execution was stayed by an appeal
to the court of appeals taken by his at
torneys without the consent of the con-
demned man.
The letter says in substance that the
writer believes himself deserving of the
death penalty which he wants inflicted
with all speed possible. He declares he
does not want new trial, as he has
violent temper which he is unable to con-
troll and probably would commit other
crimes.
The governor will take no action in
the matter.

The Art of Conversation.

What a good thing 1t would be IL
women would be true to themselves
ana converse intelligently when in the
society of gentlemen. There is moth
ing TIT honest men desire more than to
understand that mysterious race that
is so like themselves and vet so unlike,
who sllnre their homes, but not their
thoughts; who are SO shrewd, so Drac-
teal and so irrational. The Door men
yearn to break down the invisible bar
ricr and see into the real life of these
LEY love SO well. But the loved ones
smile and chatter, say pretty things
ANA ingenious things. things they have
borrowed from men ana improved in
the borrowing, but never a word of the
really true and, in many instances
vital thoughts that are working in
their busy brains. SO tile men flatter
and lie because they think women like
it, and the women accept it all be-
cause they think it is mans nature
And the men think women are dear
empty headed angels, and the women
think men are fine, intelligent brutes.
and the two classes go on loving and
dcspising one another accordingly, and
all for the want of little discernment
and truthfulncss in conversation.

Why America is Not Columbia

y map of America, made in 1910,
and which was responsible for the
naming of the new world for Amer
icus Nespucci. instead of calling it Co
lumbia in honor of christopher Col
umbus, will be one of the interesting
relics exhibited at the Worlds Fair
from the Vatican.
The old map was made at the town
of Saint Die. Lorraine. by Martin
Waldseemuller. and was recently
found by Professor Fisher, a German
scholar of fame, Father Ehre, who
through the courtesy of Pope Plus X,
is preparing the Vatican exhibit, has
secured the map. and will send it with
the other treasures.
For more than three centuries Amer
icus Nespucci rested under the odium
of having usulped the honor of Column
bus. 1t was not until 1897 that it was
proven that Nespucci had nothing to
do with giving Il name to America and
that Martin Waldseemuller was re-
sponsbe for christening the continent.
WaldSeemullcr, an accomplished
scholar, Skillful mathematician. with
Il fad for geography. was preparing to
publish Il synopsis of the great geogra-
ply of Ptoemy. when he CHANGED to
come in possession of Il letter written
by AmericuS Ncspucc in 1901 to his
patron. Lorenzo de Medici, Florence,
giving Il superficial account of a voy-
age to the new world.
Waldsecmullcr learned from this of
the discovery of a hitherto unknown
land. He prepared his book. and
used the information he had obtained
from Nespucci's letter and four more
which he obtained. In this work he
suggested that 81 do not see why we
should refuse To name it America,
namely. the land of .Amcrcls. because
of its discoVcrer. Il man of sagncious
nlind. since both Europe and Asia de-
rived their names from women"
Professor Won Humboldt has made
il clear chat Nespucei probably never
knew anything about Ike use of his
name. and never suspected that he
was thus TO he immortalizcd, and that
The title OF the Western hemisphere
WAS purely accidental.
