The soldier Immediately took ten
der fancy to the shirt-and to the
name. In fact, he liked the shirt and
the name SO well that he decided to
write to Miss Minnie Burns, at Jeffer-
sonville, and thank her for sending
both to cheer the routine of a soldiers
life.
The letter went, tiny and very
proper answer came, but it gave ex-
cuse for reply, and thus the CORE
spondence was continued.
The shirt was made by the mother
of Miss Burns, who was a seamstress
for the local army depot. In spirit
of fun the girl put her name on one
of the shirts, and Cupid did the rest,

frocks of alpaca for young girls. They
not only can be worn for the end of
the summer season, but later on for
school. Alpaca is also much to be
commended for the making of dresses

serviceable but smart. In fact, 1t
will be distinctly wise If for the the

paca, covert coating, serve or voille,
as then they will do good service right
up to the time when winter clothes

With the younger girls it is coH!ng
more and more to be the custom to
wear the lighter washable materials
all the year, the needed warmth be-
ing supplied by the extra flannel un-
Qergarments. And the dress of dec
orative design is just as necessary for
the seven-year-old as for the 17-year-
old miss. But for both the choice
may well fall upon white muslin or
fine pique trimmed with the broderie

the broderie which forms that very
effective plastron and panel being
outlined with little killed frillings of

blush rose pink satin may be passed

broidery in front, though it comes into
fuller prominence at the sides.
Sweet II, in her turn, might really

broderie panel being, of course, in
her case, so graduated as to taper at

When the Russian second-class trans port Shilka came into Nome with the Nome gasoline schooner Greyhound as it's prisoner the American marine authority in Nome was brought face to face with a problem of international importance. 1t appears that the Grey hound had been trading on the Siberian coast for furs, skins, ivory and other articles of trade. There is no question on the part of the Russian government to legitimate trade of this sort. It only stipulates that American captains who engage in that trade take out 9 permit, which costs a small sum of money. The Greyhound, however, in contravention of the specific decree of the Russians against selling liquor to natives, carried a quantity of alcohol and spirits.

The Fairbanks News says in an edi- toral: The Guggenheims are just now paying millions for experiments which later will mean more millions for the Panama. Their dredgers in the Dawson country have in one iyear taught the miners of that camp more about mining the frozen gravels of the north than they had learned in all the years since the camp began. So far as the Guggen- helms and their dredgers are concerned there is no more frozen gravel. That quantity has ceased to be an obstacle and an expense. It has been demon strated that the dredge assimilates the frost-bitten paystreak as rapidly and painlessly as kid does blueberry pie. Uncle Hiram ploughing through the orchard couldn't make furrows faster than a Guggenheim dredge chew ing it's way through the ice into the Klondike creeks. Strip the tuudra,and running water does the rest, seems to be the formula. Reports by wire from the big camp up the river indicate that the process is entirely successful and that 1t has made of frozen gravel a problem no more serious or expensive than is thawed ground.

MUSIC IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Germany Getting the Bulk of the
Trade In This Line.

Recently Consul Snodgrass OF Pre-
toria was requested by a number Of
American manufacturers OF musical In
struments TO give them information
concerning the trade In South Africa.
for the purpose Of extending their lines
In competition with the United King
dom and Germany, the two nations
that appear to have made the greatest
advances during the last three years
In that market, says the New York

such as pianos and organs, $1,000, 900
to $1,500O00 is being spent annually
from the cape to the Zambesi upon mn
steal instruments. The Transvaal has
become a great purchaser Of musical
instruments. Where In 1902 sos. 31O
was thus spent, In 1903 the figures In
creased to S176,120, and in 1904 a grand
total Of S310,4S5 was expended. This
indicates somewhat the permanence of
home making against the prevalent the
DRY that South Africa is only a tran
silent abiding place since the discovery
Of rich minerals. The Transvaal coun-
try purchased musical goods in 1904
from Germany to the value of S163, $50
from England S92.015 worth and $780,
500 from the United States.
Germany has far outstripped all
competitors. having increasing Its sales
In musical instruments tenfold In two
years and leading the United Kingdom
despite its preferential duty of 21h per
cent by almost double In importations.
The United States Increased Its trade
about fourfold In the same period. but
enjoys only one-fourth OF the trade OF
Germany, while France though making
a small showing in the grand total.
multiplied Its exports Of 1903 by twen-
y. Great Britain holds about 40 per
cent OF this important musical trade In
the whole Of South Africa, the proper
ton being about 100000. or this one
fifth represents trans-shipped foreign
goods. Germany's share Is about AZ
per cent and that Of the United States
only per cent. Great Britain and
Germany have the honors almost equal
ly divided in the case OF pianos, though
American pianos are gaining In public
favor, and by observing the suggestions
OF dealers sales will increase.

COOPERATIVE POOLING.



One day In the sprlngtime two young
men were sauntering through the woods
Just outside of the college town along
a path greatly In favor with the stu
dents. When they reached the little
spring they stopped for a drink. They
were about to proceed on their way
when their eyes caught the CLINT Of
small metal box lying close up under a
jagged stone In the pool just below the
spring.
What d'you suppose that is, Dick 2"
Don't know, Billy. I'm going to fish
1t up and find out"
The water In the pool was two or
three feet deep; the stone proved to be
heavier than 1t appeared, and it rested
on one end Of the metal box, which was
partly sunken In the gravel Of the pool.
Considerable putting and splashing and
damage to clothing took place before
the box was landed.
Opening 1t, the two found within a
fat piece OF wood, at which they gazed
In solemn silence.

ed one Of them at last, this is the

thus inscribed:

new spring suits, until everything was

Ambassadors and ministers are ac-

An ambassador cannot be put up

fortunately was merely thrilling. The
