How to Wear 1t.

How to Wear 1t.
The return of the empire influence
in dress means mat gold or silver in
almost any form will be good.
Small yokes are a distinguished
feature Of many Of the lately launch
ed shirt waists and noticeably in
crease the dressy appearance.
The hapdsomest petticoats are
made of handkerchief linen trimmed
with ruffles Of hand embroidery and
bands of valenciennes lace.
In suits the tendency is for plain
cloths finished with cloth Of another
color, and gay trimming. On dressy
suits French buttons, with the tone Of
the cloth in their center, are beautiful
and in the best Of favor.
There is growing tendency to-
ward the use of satin, instead of silk,
for lining. Satin is once more in evil
dence as trimming. Skirts have bias
bands Of satin running round just
above the knee and whole satin JACK.
cts are gaining favor.
In every style of plumage hat there
are wonderful things, the soft browns,
dull and rich at the same time, in
credible as it seems; and the deep,
exquisite reds-it is as if a bird Of
paradise had suddenly distributed
his feathers in a series of glowing
little heaps, each of single shade.
When little scraggly ends of hair
hang down over your collar all you
need is a good brush, some back
combs and little perseverance to
make them stay up with the rest.
When arranging your coiffure brush
these ends up hriskly and then place
two back combs where they are
needed. A few invisible hairpins
will also help.
Tn nickine ont q ready made hat
care should be taken to get one in
which bandeAu trimming is set so as
not to interfere with the straight line
to the front Of the brim, which is
more becoming to the usually straight
proved American than the extremely 4
lip tilted styles, which are going out
with the decline of the little hats.
The tendency of evening dresses is
.oward the lighter, almost invisible
:abrics, such as chiffon, meteor and
chiffon cloth made up first over chif-
;on as a lining, with the colored silk
1nder that. Satin-striped chiffon is
novelty and is exquisite for ball
dresses and dinner gown; for young
iris. Spangled robes have ileve- been
n better favor than they will be this
coming winter.
Circular skirts are here, and they
re here to stay, but more for house
lresses than for street suits. When
he circular skirt is used for walk
ng suit, it is laid in panels, so as to
,eep it from sagging. The skirts
how partiality for plain panel

trimmings seem to be very small

buttons.

The tailor-made girl is we'll taken
care Of in the matter Of ralncoats,
many of the new models being dis
tinctly of the plain and severe order
which her taste dictates. For these
the .coverts, alpaca thibets, Irish and
Scotch tweeds and the heavier scillin-
mes are selected, and machine stitch
ing, with perhaps few rows of a
handsome braid is all that is permit
ted in the way of trimming effects.
The vest or waistcoat is frequently
made a dressy feature in these, and
the fad for leather-which is quite
en- regle with the severity Of the
plain tailor-made styles-is delight
fully INDUCED in these. Contrary to
the prevailing craze for shiny feathers
in other uses-shoes, belts, sailor hats
and handba ags-tle feathers that are
used for the novel raincoats and auto
wraps are all Of the soft, dull suede
finish. The ooze calf, which is so
soft and flexible to handle, and yet
has quite sufficient body to Withstand
a great deal of wear, is a very mark
ed favorite, and it comes in all the
fashionable shades and tints The
reds are especially smart

FRANK ARMSTRONG. young British army

that it bore on one side three golden trianges or
pyramids, the same design he had on the

of it be kept secret When he started back to
London, Armstrong encountered at the station the

his family line would cease to exist The Russian
(whose name Ivan Stephanovitchl introduced
Armstrong to young woman named Natushka,
plighted wife of Menikoff. The body of Russian
woman, tied with Cords was found in pond near
where Menikoff assailed When Armstrong
told Melnikoff of meeting the Russians, the Prince
displayed considerable trepidaton; but said he and
Ivan were OF the same house, that Natushka
Ivan ward, not his sister, and that foolish
marriage compact for him (Menikoff) and the girl
had been made in their infancy by their parents.
Melnikoff's valet lured Armstrong into a vacant
house in London, and left him there locked in.
Frank escaped, and departed for Anglo-In dia,
where he assigned to work with a boundary

to copy all letters containing the name of Menikoff.

The Ego&isGie@l Egg
By Alexander Ricketts,.

IT was just a common everyday egg,
| good enough to fry or scramble, hardly
good enough for poaching or incubating;
but it had been gilded and decorated for
Easter, and was pulled up with pride &C
cordingly. Poor, silly little eggl it could
not know that its selection had been
mere case of blind chance-that any other
egg would have done just as well; but
naturally was convinced that its gorgeous
ness was the proper recognition of its I'M
usual merits and the deserved reward for
its own supreme superiority over eggs in
general 1t didn't even feel the necessity
of propitiating its gods, so vast was its
self-esteem, by building hospitals, donat-
ing libraries or endowing universities
Poor, silly little egg!
There can be no doubt, no matter
what the envious or idle hoi bolloi may
say" it confded to its neighbor with
SNUG complacency, that the Ruler of
the Hennery does know extraordinarily
fine eggs when she sees them
ooh, pshawl" snarled the neighbor,
whose blue dye had penetrated clear to
the yolk and tinged all its views, q
guess under our shells we're just eggs
after all
Tut, tut!" demonstrated the egg,
aghast at such blasPhemy. Just see
how I-we-have been singled out for
wealth and fame and honors Can you
doubt it after that?"
But before the other could reply
negligent hand dropped the egg, and its
splendid shell was shattered on the floor.
Never mind, dear" said kind voice.
There are lots of eggs, and one more or
less won't be missed, guess"

Obviously, his highness did not wish to
pursue the subject, but Ermyntrude re-
GREETED her hoydenish act, as the monks
looked at her askance during the re-
mainder of her stay.
The day was far advanced when they
set out on their homeward journey. The
Prince was assiduous in his advice that
they should keep eyes, ears and nose
well protected by their furs now, as the
cold was intense and slight breeze had
sprung up. The ravines which were SO
beautiful by day were dark and for
bidding enough in the declining light;
but the road was smooth, owing to the
snow and the absence of traffic, and the
three hours journey promised to end as
pleasantly as it had begun.
They were yet ten miles from Bannofka,
and traversing path cleared through an
outlying strip of the inland forest, when
suddenly the trees were lit with spurts
of flame, and the air resounded with the
discharge of firearms. Their Cossack
guard travelled in two contingents, one
in front and one in the rear Though
taken completely by surprise, the men
unslung their carbines or gripped sword
or lance to repel this unexpected and
outrageous attack. Instantly fierce
melee took place, number of vague
forms on horseback dashed past, and
there was vast deal of yelling and
promiscuous shooting.
The horses in the leading sleigh, that
occupied by Ermyntrude and the Russian
flew ahead in a mad gallop. Soon they
were far removed from the scene of con-
flict, and the Prince, yielding to Errnyn-
trude's frenzied anxiety on behalf of her
father and brother, helped the coachman
to pull the frightened animals on their
launches
do not be afraid he said "They
will not be hurt The attack was in
tended for me- Possibly their sleigh was
overturned in the snow, and that accounts
for their non-arrival. You saw yourself
that my men routed the cowardly brutes.
The girl was distraught. Even in the
terror of the moment she remembered
the warning that she had received and
treated with contempt ooh, save them,
save them!" she walled. "They have
harmed nobody. Why should they be
made to suffer? And it is all my fault
Had it not been for me they never would
have come here
The Prince evidently thought it best
not to check her lamentations, but he
did bend over her and arrange her furs,
lest she should suffer from the piercing
cold, and at last he cried cheerfully:
Here come my Cossacks! Now you
see you have no need for further alarm"
But the news brought by the escort in
no wise was reassuring. In the con-
fusion of the fight the second sleigh had
left the track and upset. When the in
surgents cleared off they had carried
Lord Valletort and his son with them.
Probably they were taken as hostages,
and would come to no harm; but to pursue
the rebels into the recesses of the forest
on such dark night was impossible
So the weeping and despairing girl was
brought back half dead to the palace, and
she entered its gates distraught, frantic
with grief, yet little realizing that her
plight was worse than that of her father
and brother. They might be prisoners
in the hands of fierce men; but she was
prisoner in the hands of a Russian DO

OUTPUT PAID FOR DEVELOPMENT

Another shipment of about ten tons
of high grade ore was made from the
Original Bullfrog Saturday. The ore
is as rich as that sent out in the pre-.
vious shipments and will assay several
hundred dollars per ton. From April
| to July l, 700 feet of work has teen
done on this property, and the small
amount of ore that has teen taken out
in development has paid for the work.
One man has been employed a portion
of this time in sorting ore. The shaft,
which is 140 feet deep, was sunk at an
average cost of only $3.50 a foot, a
windlass being used. Sinking in this
shaft will be resumed as soon as the
gasoline hoist arrives. Recently a
large boulder of ore, weighing perhaps
4 ton, was taken out of this property.
A big mass of quartz actually glist.
ened with gold, the better values lying
in the streaks of blue and green. The
boulder is estimated to carry values
way up in the thousands. Work in the
Original Bullfrog tunnel is being con.
tinued and more of the rich ore is be
ing mined. -Rhyolite Herald.
