FOUR INCHES IN AN HOUR.
Recent Downpour at Santiago de Cuba
Is Violent-Storm Statistics
from Other Points.

= The violence of tropical rain
storms is proverbial; yet never be
fore has one been scientifically
registered in which so much wa
ter fell in so short d time as at San
tiago de Cuba recently. An Eng
lish engineer, who gauged the
rainfall, found that it was at the
rae of, over four inches an hour
and that between seven and ten
o'clock in the evening more than a
foot of water reached the ground.
The storm covered nearly 800
square miles, and in places was
heavier than at Santiago. The
Guarinicrm and the Platinillo riv-
ers each rose 33 feet. The flow
over the waterworks dam, three
miles from Santiago, showed that
at least two and four tenths cubic
feet of water were coming from
each acre of the watershed each
second. 1t is such sudden deluges
as this which created some of the
! most difficult p ol.!ems foi the en-
gineers Of the isthmian canal to
solve. especially on the gulf side of
the Nicaraguan survey and in the
Chagres valley. Among longer
rains OF greater severity one is re-
corded in the Khasi hills, in India,
in which 80 inches of rain fell each
day for FIVE successive days.
Genoa, Italy, has a record of 80
inches in "a hc-~~ md Gih-e,ta ~

ORIGIN OF THE MAIDSTONE.
1otsot Power Popularity Believed to
Exist In the Mysterious
Substance.


Where did the maidstone come
from? No one seems to know. 1t
does not belong to the mineral
kingdom, nor can it be assigned to
a place in geological formations.
Its composition is not definite and
it may possibly be found upon any
beach or in any gravel pit, and
the supply is always equal to the
demand, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
There are even now many of
these precious talismans in this
country, and "the believers in
their efficacy always know where
the nearest is kept" One of them
has been the property of an Ohio
negro and was placed after the
death of the owner in the state Ii
brary at Columbus. There it was
recently applied to the wound
caused by the bite of a supposedly
rabid dog. The dog recovered and
the woman to whom it was ap-
piled died of blood-poisoning,
caused by the unclean contact.
Such a stone was kept in the
Virginia state penitentiary for
years and was open to all comers
for application to the bite of a mad
dog or other allied wounds. One
such perhaps the same) was at a
later date sold for 500.
Still more famous was that
brought from Russia in 1887 by a
physician of that country who set
tied in Nevada. 1t had previously
been exploited in that country for
at least century and a half, a
fact supported by documentary
evidence. The document was writ
ten in native Russian and as no
J body concerned could read it
everybody implicitly believed
what they were told of it. The
owner offered the stone for sale
for $1,000 and a joint stock com,
pany was formed for the purchase.
A number of shareholders ad-
vanced 81 each and the balance
was made up by farmer who be
came its keeper when the pur
chase was completed. It's fame
still fiourishes and it is said thai
an offer of $4,000 has been refused
for it.

well, do you know, there Is really
an industry. in calves heads? Several
men in town, and particularly one out
Gratiot avenue, make q business OF
buying them up. They prepare the
tongue and brain for use as edibles
and as these are regarded as a deli
cacy on the best tables, they bring q
considerable sum. Sometimes the
whole head. with the lower 5oint OF
the forelegs and the feet are used by
hotels for table decorations. After the
brain and tongue have been removed
the remaining portion is used for head
cheese or sausage. The bone is sold
to be used as fertilizer.

500 calves are killed every week in De-

averred that he would get the better

determined to anticipate whistler. if
possible.
When the two had been introduced,
whcih event took place in WhistIer's s
studios Clemens. assuming an air Of
hopeless stupidity, approached a just
completed painting, and sai5:

lively, with a motion as if to rub out

"Great heaven, sir!'' exclaimed

up under the arm. The other trimming
is narrow wash braid showing coin
embroidery. This is employed to out
line the opening and yoke of the blouse.
Cashmeres. mohairs and a crepe fan-
mel in subtle colorings are pOpualr
materials for the separate blouse not
intended for tubing. Delicate soutache
braids trim them and the sleeve is a
most important feature. Stimulating the
elbow length, a leg o. mutton sleeve of
one model is laid in rather deep pleats
over the elbow where it terminates in
8aring turnback cuffs that require stiff
fening to retain their shape. Fag0ted
strips of the material emerge from this
cuff and cover the arm tightly, reaching
to the waist.
Other smart sleeves are gathered at the
elbow in bishop fullness and have long,
tight-fitting cuffs which appear to button
concealing the gatherings.
For dressy use the thin blouse is built
in the sOftest of silks, crepe de chimes,
chiffons and poplins- Radium silk which is
a cross between tafetas and liberty, has a
surface that shimmefs with a wealth of
shaded lights. It's SuppleneSS renders It eS-
pecially well adapted to the gathered sur
plice bOdice-a last years design reap
pearing with added attractiveness this fall.
This style of waist is remarkably be-
coming and graceful if it is made with
care. 1t requires, however, fitted lining,
and the gatherings Of the material must
fit snugly to the figure. To prevent giving
a fiat appearance the fullnesS should slope
in curve from the under arm seam.
One instance of a graceful surplice ef-
feet is youthful, exquisite blouse in palest
yellow poplin. Extending from the under
arm seams, the material is fastened at the
edge over two small cords. These shape
the fullness. which comes to the waistline
at the sides and circles around and UP
about two inches in bolero fashion. Here
the four cordings meet and hold the full
ness taut quite to the bust line. A point
ed girdle finishes front and back. Fine
mesh lace, appliqued with pompadour
lace insertion, covers a circular silk yoke.
Quillings of poplin trim elbow sleeves and
yoke, while a circular lale bertha adds a
touch of elegance.
To make no mention of black silk waists
would be to ignore a woman's favorite
separate blouse for dressy wear. Supple
weaves of a taffeta and crepe de chine are
the mont effective of thin black matrials.
The Topeka state journal., 1905-10-08

These are combined with insertions and
medalIions of sheer lace, ChantilIy being
in particular vogue.
Tuckings of uuslin de sole also mingle
with delicate Iaces to form a soft finish
for neck and sleeves. If heavy lace adorns
black bodices it should be in cream color
rather than pure white.
Other dark colored blouses show trim
mings of heavy cream lace insertion or
bands of fat embroidery. The latter dis
play gold or various jewel colorings and
are so handsome in themselves that they
constitute the sole trimming on a waist
and are applied simply and sparingly.
A last word as to the chic Waisfcoats
and jackets that fit under Winter coats to
supply the warmth of a wooden waist. So
smart ar the knitted garments which
have grown out of clumsy sweaters that
they frequently are the only wrap worn
in first fall days. Stitched bands and but
tons of leather or broadcloth set off the
popular Norfolk jacket sweater and make
a splendid garment for rough outdoor
wear.

Hence the Name.

They were discussing some of the
strange names applied to domestic
animals and each had his contribu-
ton to the general fund. A West
end horseman, who was smoking a
pipe, registered his little piece. Said
he: There's a man out in the Hell
derbergs who has IA filing for giving
his animals fanciful names. He has
a dog named Dora Thorne, a mare
named Annie Laurie, and mule
named Maxwellton.'
'I see how he could have a dog
named Dora Thorne and a mare
Annie Laurie, with propriety,'' spoke
up a friend, "but what in the name
of uncommon names does he want to
name mule Maxwellton for %
'sWelI, you see," replied the West
ender, as he prepared to go home,
"that mule is mighty full of bonnie
brays."
And the man from the West end
walked leisurely away, humming an
old Scotch tune.-Albany Journal.
