Portland, Sept. IA very fine like
ness of Abraham Lincoln, transferred
to a limestone surface by natural pro-
cess. is one of the most interesting
c~uriosities at the Lewis and Clark ev-
position. To make this picture as 1t is
today. indelibly printed in the actual
stone and permanently framed with a
solid stone an inch thick, required two
months.
1t was known that the waters OF
the Thermopolis Hot Springs, in Big
Horn county, Wyoming, possessed the
power of depositing lime in such guam
titles as to form solid stone. A local
genius determined to try the expert
ment Of making the water transfer a
likeness of Lincoln to stone. Procur-
ing a picture Of the martyred president
in a magazine. he placed the likeness
face down upon a plank and laid 1t IN
the water of one Of the springs. so
that the surface was barely covered.
Any greater depth Of water would
have washed away the lime instead 0!
depositing it. Within two months the
action of the water had formed a
limestone slab an inch thick. upon the
surface Of which appeared the picture
Of Lincoln, startlfngly vivid. The
slab is now e in the Wyoming sec
ton of the mines and metallurgy build
ing at the Portland fair. where any
one who desires may look at the pic
ture.

Lincoln picture are some remarkable
specimens of petrified fish, taken from

fashionable now to have gowns fit close

This was defect of all the former prin-

fiat pleat of the material put down in the
back and the front from the neck to hem,

SO attractive, that some hint of it is still
to be seen in this style this winter for
the skirts are made all in one piece, with
a phenomenally high bodice that is fin

not the doll that the child plays with. Very
likely her mother considers 1T too fine to
be spoiled and puts it in the closet. excep.

brings no particular qualification TO the
child who seldom sees it. ASK any nttie
girl which of her dolls she would rather
part with. and 1t is never the finest one,
but always the shabby darling that mas

A boy takes no end of satisfaction In

tunnel the snow build forts and do as he
pleases out of doors a cold day.
Our Yuletide should be full OF warmth
and cheer. our extra money should be spent
on plenty of light and an open fire, ana
there should be good times at home, the
best times then in all the year.
The beneficent spell of the Yuletide has
most of heaven In ii when We remember our
poorer neighbors and our lonelier friends;
There are people known to us all who VIII
be made very happy by so simple thing
at Christmas-tide as a letter. For instance,
there is the seamstress who worked for you
twenty years ago and who is ending her
days in an old ladies' home. She has mo-
body of her own left to visit her, and one
day passes just like another. Her Yule-
tide will be made more cheerful by visit
If you can make it, or a letter If you can
send it.
THE gift without the giver is BARE The
more true love and affection we put into
our simplest gifts the more individual they
are, and the more they express the senti-
ment of good will and sincerity the hap
pier and more lasting for US will be the
spell of the beautiful Yuletide-

what seems to be concealed cotton spr1n-
killed. with isinglass. These same balls are
also made to open so that they may be
filled with sweetmeats or may have
Santa Claus or a dell looking out of the top.
There are also glass icicles, which look
very beautiful hanging from the limbs of
the trees, and pine cones of glass and tin
sell in the natural shape, but OF many col
ors and much glitter; they. too, are very
beautiful. Then there is a glorified order
of colored ref1ectors in silver and gilt,
shading into all colors Of the rainbow.
Birds are so popular as Christmas tree
ornaments that the Christmas tree coun-
tiers of some of the stores look like avia-
ries There are glittering glass birds. tin
sci birds, paper BIRDS porcelain birds and
little white cotton birds. The paper birds
are most attractive and are in brilliant col
orings, both realistic and beautiful. They
are to be fastened on the tree by wires in
some cases, while others are swung from
gflded hoops or are in little cages. There
are also glass, tinsel and paper butterflies,
and among the paper ornaments every va
riety of toy that could be imagined.
Among the cotton ornaments there are
this year most beautiful sheep and clowns
OF many kinds.
Santa Claus, q reindeer, wax angel and
a Christmas bell All these things have
now been so improves upon that they are
grown In grace and beauty beyond all re-

duty for that favored style the long fitted
coat. but Is at It's best in the gown, for
then there Is no breaking Of the long, line,
as Is the case when 1T is a coat and skirt.
The severity of the outline Is softened by
the Jacket fronts which are made of the
material, with fiat bands of braid, velvet
or fur. These fronts do not reach to the
waist line. unless especially cut for the
purpose, and then they reach below it,
finishing off In points
Almost without exception the princess
gown is finished around the throat with
