A STRANGE CRATER.

About 40 miles from. Flagstaff,
Ariz., in the midst of a great plain,
there is a saucer-shaped hollow about
three-quarters of a mile across and
600 feet deep. The rim of this
strange crater rises between $50 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered for
several miles around the crater, de-
creasing in number until they dis
apepar. Among these rocks many
fragments of meteoric iron, some con-
tanning black diamonds, have been
found.
The inner walls show that the crust
of the earth was broken when the
crater was formed; yet no volcanic
rocks exist there. Biologists have
recently proposed several theories to
account for this singular phenome-
non. One theory is that an immense
meteorite made the hole, and the me-
teoric fragments just mentioned are
remnants of a falling star.
Another theory ascribes the origin
of the crater to a tremendous eXplo-
sion of steam in the rocks beneath,
and a third combines the first TWO
by suggesting that the blow OF a 1all-
ing meteor, striking the earth's crust
at a point where subterranean water
had accumulated in the neighbor-
hood of heated rocks, was the cause
of the explosion.

LACE SHE MUST HAVE.

Lace, old or new, real or imitation,
is so high in favor that we have no
opportunity of even questioning it's
ascendancy.
Whatever other fashion we may
adopt tentatively, we are bound to ac-
cept lace during the coming season,
and the lace robe, wrap, mantilla, or
coat, not to speak, of course, of the
lace blouse, will be necessary con
comitants to every wardrobe. Love-
ly patterns liked carved ivory are to
been e e this season., and among the
most popular laces may be mentioned
Irish and Venetian, tambour, Cluny,
and Valenciennes-a variety of
others being likewise included in the
scheme of things modistic.
White Spanish lace will be seen in
the form of mantillas and shawls,
while dyed laces are a veritable OBJ
session just now, and, with the aid of
embroidered lace, some of the state
lest and most exquisite of ball, re-
ception and dinner dresses are being
evolved.

HINTS.

The good housekeeper makes a
daily visit to the cellar, seeing that ii
is rid of any decaying vegetables and
opening it up to air.
To make fire kinder buy ten
cents worth of asbestos wicking at
any hardware store, and a piece of
No. 8 wire thirty inches long. Fence
wire will also do. Take half of the
asbestos and roll it around the middle
of the wire. Then bend the wire
sharply at the top and bottom of the
asbestos which should be about four
inches wide, and plat or twist the
wire to form a handle. To use, place
in stove some fine coal, dip the kim
der. in coal oil Common lamp oiD
and place it under the crate or in
the ash pan; then light with a match
and watch the result-a god fire.
In making cigar-band plates use
gumarabic to put on the bands with.
When the plate is covered with the
bands and they are dry, cover the
back of the plate where you have
bands pasted, with two coats of shell
lac; be sure and let the first coat dry
thoroughly. After the second coat
is dry get some bronze and banana
oil and bronze it. You will find that
it is much better than the felt. When
bronzed in this way you can wash the
plate and the bands will never drop
off.
A splendid furniture polish is made
by mixing a wineglass of olive Oil,
n of vinegar and two tablespoon
fuls of alcohol; apply with a soft
cloth and polish with flannel.

OUT-OF-DOOR sUPERSTTTTONS.

1t seems odd to think that Their are
any out-of door superstitions, and
yet 1t is amusing at a picnic to know
Just what the Indian squaws, for in
stance, believed would bring luck as
they roamed through the primeval
forests.
"A maple twig at the bottom of a
full basket will bring fair weather
is one of the mascots in which they
firmly believed.
Camp on the right side of a run
ming brok if it run north and south;
on the left side if it run east and
west" is another.
Offer leaves to the Fire Spirit
has its counterpart in the Scotch pro-
er, "Tae to the fire and sugar to the
yin ot," which means that a little
sugar must be sprinkled on the sticks
before lighting and a pinch of tea
leaves thrown on the fire after the
blaze has started.
This is perfectly scientific, as any
n who has started a vigorous blaze
by the melting sugar knows.
The Welsh woman trudging to
market with a basket of eggs, takes
care to pack an odd number. other
wise some mischance will befall.
Perhaps the careful counting and
packing of the eggs may account for
their safe arrival at the journeys
end.
eff two people carry the same bas-
ket-each taking hold-they will
grow either to love or to hate each
other-they will never be wholly in
different" This saying comes from
the ''fatherland" and has common
sense to justify it.
When tea time comes there are
quaint superstitions galore.
If there are not spoons enough to
go round, then those who share will
bring each other luck.
If anyone helps herself to cream
or milk before sugar she will be
crossed in love.
Tea leaves floating in the tea mean
admirers. If the tea is stirred quick
ly and the spon is held upright in the
middle of the cup and a tea leaf
clings to it, one of her admirers will
declare himself before long.
Should leaves, nuts or twigs fall
from the trees above, the n on
whom they fall may expect a Letter.
Any live thing, be it field mouse
or even the more common spider,
comes to bring good news and the
one who is nearest the little visitor
may expect good fortune.

The vogue for braiding is increas-
ing with every turn of the wheel OF
fashion, and one may confidently eX-
pect ornamentation of this descrip-
ton to become a great feature of
every department in the world OF
dres.
An enthusiastic return to the fash
ion of past days for all-over braiding
has, moreover, already become an es-
tablished fact, and several of the
latest tailor costumes are being made
with, long, tight-fitting redingotes
literally covered with close rows of
braiding in the most t%ortuous designs,
the ~old-fashioned maple-leaf pattern
being first in favor.
A bolero effect is sometimes intro
duced on a Princess gown in like
manner by means of close braiding,
which is repeated or the skirt.

TRIPLES OF INTEREST.

1t is asserted by the American
Mechanic that in the railroad build
ing the crossties now cost twice as
much as the rails.
The Kaiser is an enthusiastic au-
tomobilist, having a total of about
thirteen motor cars. His horses have
practically nothing to do but eat.
The following advertisement recent
ly appeared in the Yorkshire Post:
would any lady of means care to
mary a poor, crowded-out clerk, age
