PARADISE OF UMBRELLAS.
Every ofhcial and Nobleman of su-
 rakarta Carries one-Indi- ( cate Rank and File.


 Surakarta is the paradise of um. brellas, says Century They are carried proudly over the heads of every off1cial and every nobleman, but invariably are shut at the approach of a person of high CT rank, and inside the kraton no um- brella may be carried open, except that of the emperor himself The umbrella is the crown, the wand of office, the out ward sign of rank and distinction. There are umbrellas of gold inside and out for the emperor; of gold outside only fo1 the empress; with a stripe of yellow sat- in for the emperor's brother; with a wider stripe of the same material for his illegitimate brothers; of white silk with narrow gold stripe for the illegitimate sons of the legitimate brothers, and so on ad infinitum. Every official every military officer, exhibits his rank in his umbrella, which Is invariably held from behind by an attendant whenever he leaves his house, in sunshine or in cloudy weather There is an official guide book to the umbrella labyrith ot Sukrakarta, which contains not less than 300 various designs, in all imagin- able colors and ornamentation

REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES.
London Women Discover That San- dalwood Is Excellent Way of
 Getting Rid of Pests.

London women have discovered an agreeable way of ridding their homes of files and mosquitoes, says the Chicago Tribune. They burn sandalWood in the house, an idea imported from the orient In London 1t is possible to get wood pre- pared for the purpose. Tn America it is to be had atalmost any Turkish or Japa- nese importing house. It Is then pre- pared for burning by being first cut into small pieces on-half inch thick and three inches long.
 Then 1t is baked or dried out in slow oven A hours. A piece of the wood is put into a metal urn, lighted and allowed to burn until well af1ame, when the flame is extinguished and the redhot ember left to smolder until the wood is con- sumed and nothing is left but heap of fine gray ashes.

POISON IN ORIENTAL RUGS
Salesman in Philadelphia Store Dies of Blood Disease from Hand-

A salesman employed in the rug de. partment of a big Philadelphia store died of blood poisoning the other day and since then no one in the establish ment is permitted to handle any new importations that have not been fuml- gated unless gloves are worn. The salesman in question had scratched one of his fingers with pin, and the supposftion is that in opening a bale of rugs that had just come from the Orient he had become inoculated with poison, which resulted fatally
 It's wonder to me- said friend of the victim, that such cases are not more common. have travelled through Turkey and Armenia, where most of the rugs are manufactured on hand looms amid filth and squaIor almost indescribable, where the most 1oath- some of diseases are everywhere in evidence.

FAyORITES WON.
Red Bird, Alexander and Gallagher
 Take Grand Circuit Purses.

Hartford, Sept. 7.-It was favorites' day at Charter Oak park yesterday. There were no disappointments. While Red Bird had it comparatively easy in the 2:1O pace, Ben F. was close up at the finish of the first heat and cem- pelled Walker to send his horse out for most of the way in the second, the pace being so fast that all but the two leaders were beyond the distance pole at the finish. Ben F. was unable to keep up his gait toward the end of the mile, and Red Bird went under the wire under pull. The third heat was Red Birds all the way around.
 Only four of the nine entries in the Capitol city trot, 2:20 class, faced the starter, and the judgment of the bet. ting rine that Alexander ought to land the money was justified, although he lost the first heat by a break just be- fore the finish The judges changed the drivers of two horses ill the fourth heat, Andrews taking Thompson's place behind John Caldwell and Walk CT getting up behind Texas 1n place of Renick The change had no effect up- on the race.
 . Only three horses started in the 2:02 pace. Gallagher, was scheduled to win, and did as he was expected. Major C. narrowly escaped being dis tanced in the final heat.

DUR CAPTIVE PAWN
EXPERIENCES WITH A LITTLE CREATURE OF THE FOREST.
Ernest Harold Baynes Writes of It's Many Interesting Traits-Queer Antics Indulged Tn When
 at Play.

One morning last May guide, look ing from the window of his cottage upon broad green slope of the Blue noun tain forest, saw 8 white-tailed doe, With her little spotted faWn. But the fawn with his mother, he bleated plaintively, and back she came to him, looking him over with her large, mild eyes, asthough to find out why he Jagged behind. Then the guide saw that one of the slim hind legs was broken just above the ankle and, fearing that the helpless youngster might fall a victim to fox or wildcat, he captured 1t and brought it in. 1t took readily to a baby's bottle, and for many days he kept it in a box where it could neither run nor jump, It was sensible little creature, and kept its injured limb, well off the ground and as the leg hung straight down the ends of the broken bone soon knit and the faWn was able to touch his little black hoof to the floor. Then it was that his benefactor, hold ing him tight in his arms, drove five miles across the mountains and turned the baby over to me. The little thing limped badly when he was set down on the barn floor, but we gave him soft bed of hay in one of the stalls, and he soon lay down to rest. When he got up again he seemed better. and, as he was hungry, he let us know it by bleating very gently and by looking toward us eagerly with his big, soft brown eyes. When held the bottle out to him he knew at once that his food was there, but. as he took the nipple in his mouth he instinctively punched me with his hard Little head, just as he would have punched his mother had h0 iscn taking his dinner with her. After drinking a pint of milk he nibbled few bits of grass and lay down to rest again.
 He was wonderfully beautiful crea- ture His glossy coat was reddish-brown in scolor, with striking white spots on the neck, back and sides His legs,

ous as he stood in the barn that I coufa scarcely believe that they were part oE a scheme of protective coloratfon. Buxl one day, after his leg YVES well enough to permit him to run about a8it, took him out into the fields. One of these fields was abloom with Soxeye daisies, and as the lawn stood among them they at once suggested a reason for the spots upon his coat. I half closed my eyes. and there was no lawn at all; he was as patch of white flowers, like hundreds of similar patches in the same field. Since myriads of daisies and other white fiow- CTS are blooming at a time when fawn Is young and helpless. it seems that Na-I ture seeks to protect it from it's enemies by making it resemble patch of these
 flowers I took 8 photograph of my lawn in the daisy field, and the result was very interesting. The legs and body of the little creature melt away into the grass, while the white spots stand out conspicuous, like the daisies which suy- round them.
 Tn front of the stall in which kept the lawn I placed barrier four feet high, and to my astonishment, few days after his leg was well, he leaped right over it from standstill and alighted on the floor of the barn. And yet perhaps this is not to be wondered at when we consider that his father or mother, hard pressed, could clear a height of fromeight to nine feet. and pos-s sibIy more.
 Every evening we take the deer cut for a run over the hills, using botz tie of milk to coax him back to thA barn after he has had his exercise.E Sometimes it looks as though we he'd seen the last of him, as he disappears going at full speed over the brow of q hill perhaps half mile away. Then some one shouts: Here he comess and we see him coming, like . brown
 streak, tall up and ears laid back. ris-
 ing like bird at every rock and bush in his path. checking his speed as he aps brooches us and breaking into byssk. elastic trot, which nothing but deaH can initiate.

Mines in Heart of Butte.

Business before all else is the mot to in Butte, Mont, and if there is any ore beneath the surface of the streets which has not yet been discovered, it is because the prospector has not yet arrived to dig a hole in that spot Hardly building has been put up in the business section for the last two years that some sort. of copper head has not been found in the cellar exca- vation. When the Thornton hotel, the finest hostelry in the city, was built in 1901, large deposit of surface ore was found in the cellar.

But his head was his most beautiful feature, after all His great gentle eyes were full of expression and in combination with the large shapely ears, which moved back and forth In response to every sound, showed pleasure, excitement, fear and other emotions, almost as plain Iy as a human face could show them. His disposition was affectionate, and he never tired of licking ones face and hands when he got the chance, making them feel as though they had received a coat of glue.
 Of course, was prepared to believe that the white spots on his otherwise brown coat were there for some good purpose, but they looked so conspicu-
