The OId-Ea II toned Wife.

pretty young married woman said
to friend the other day. Mary is
such an Oldfash!oned wife. She has
such queer notions about her duty to
her husband and home. Why she de-

stances Is away from home when he
returns at night
Then she always gets up 10 break

to prepare certain favorite dishes for

The design and the name Of this
new design are both original. yet the
mode escapes eccentric lines. which
would probably prevent its becoming a
fashionable favorite. Shaded green
French straw Is used. the darkest tones
being woven into the ridged brim. while
the crown Is almost white. A fold OF
white silk ribbon sandwiched between
two OF green encircles the crown. end

quilts. Loops OF velvet ribbon are
massed under the brim ut the back.
4 note of marked simplicity Is struck
in the trimming OF Il number OF the
daintiest spring hats. The shapes are
so decorative and unique in themselves
that they are easily spoiled by over
decoration. The bands OF two cOlOrS
Of ribbon draped around the crown is a
popular and effective idea. There Is
always very pale tint-frequently
white-in combination with a color
dark enough for decided contrast. The
hat sketched here is very smart In
black and white straw. with black quilts
and black and white ribbon, the black
being in satin and the white In taffeta.

MINING GOLD IN IRELAND.
Company Developing Lead First
Worked in 1890.


Gold Is being mined in Ireland, incl
dental to the development of a mine
OF lead sulphide. commonly known as
galena. The mine is in the Glentogher
valley, few miles from the market
town OF Carndonagh, County Donegal.
says the New York Tribune. There is
no indication. however. that the min
ing of the gold will interfere in the
slightest degree with the emigration
from Ireland, which has been SO gen.
eral for the last few years or that 1t
will relieve the labor situation OF the
Emerald Isle.
I The locality of the mine Is near the
northern extremity Of Ireland. on the
peninsula of lnnishowen. The galena
deposit was worked in 1890 for silver
and lead. but for some reason the en-
terprise was abandoned. Another at.
tempt was made TO work the mine in
1860. but this also was unsuccessful
| for lack of capital. Some months ago

perience in silver and lead mining in

~. A number of assays were made Of
samples from the mine. which showed
an average OF an ounce of gold a ton.
go per cent OF metallic lead and a varl-
able quantity Of silver.
A mining lease was obtained from
the Earl of Shaftesbury. the owner OF
the property. and a force of men was
set to work cleaning out the old work
lngs OF more than a century ago, and
smelter Of the capacity OF 100 tons
day was contracted for. The output
OF lead it Is stated. Is now paying the
working expenses, though the amount
Of gold obtained Is very small. Geolog-
lcally speaking the mine is fault"
or fracture of the rock strata. in which
was deposited the mineral containing
the metals.

AFTER ALL.
She Found She Had Been Doiag .

Mary CranstOn tossed her package Of
