Both Bound Over 10 Court.

Hosea Barbee was tried before
the mayor this week on the
charge of assault with deadly
weapon in two cases, and for
carrying concealed weapon. His
bonds for the three cases was
fixed at sits. Ben Hester was
bound over to court in two cases
one for assault and the other
for carrying concealed weapon
his bond being SIS. Both gave
their bonds.
Our readers will remember
that sometime ago Hester and
Barbee were the principals in a
shooting affair at the Masonic
Hall in Hayti, in which Hester
got the worst end of the bargain,
and Barbee made his escape.
The shooting began over the fact
that Hester was paying attentions
to the wife of Barbee.

MOUNT PELATTO.
How the Dazzling Peak Of Pumss
Stone Is Mined.

How the Dazzling Peak of Pumss
Stone Is Mined.
Coming from Stromboli, as we
approach Lparia we see a noun
tain so dazzling white that the eyes
cannot rest upon it-Mount Pelat
to, the mountNn Of pumice stone.
1t stands out against a background
of dark volcanic mass under an in
tense blue sky. Below it lies the
beautiful emerald green Eolian sea.
The pumice mines are worked
with as little expense as possible.
There are no galleries, no stays or
pillars. There is no woodwork of
any kind. The men who mine the
stone are paid in proportion to the
quality of the stone mined. There
fore their only care is to produce
fine, light stone. When man finds
vein Of fine stone he follows the
lead whether it is safe or not. II
the roof caves in, SO much the worse
for him. The work is dangerous,
but it pays relatively well. The
stone is carried on the backs of the
women and children of the miners
to the workshops of Canueto. AS
soon as it reaches the shops it is
sorted and put together according
to quality. The lighter, finer stone
is called "foam." The second choice
is known as "irst white" and the
third choice as Second white" etc.
The pieces are packed just as
they come from the mine, except
ing one very careful treatment-all
the sharp edges are filed down, be-
cause they cause breakage, and
breakage lowers the mercantile
value of the stone. The files used
are very large, and the filing is done
by women. As soon as a piece is
filed it is wrapped separately in pa
per and then placed in the tun to
be shipped. Pieces of inferior quail
ity are not wrapped in paper. They
are placed in the tuns in fine shay
ings. 1t is claimed that the filing
is healthful work, but this is hard
to believe. In the room where the
women WELD the files the air is a
dense, powdery white. The fine
pumice dust (silicate of alumina) is
held in the air, and in such an at
mosphere every act of respiration
must load the mucous Innings of all
the air passages. The women who
file the stone breathe the air from
morning till night. Even a very
brief inhalation causes an exceed
ingly disagreeable sensation of des-
location. So it is presumable that
the industry is less harmful to the
exploiters of the mines than to the
women who pass their lives inhaling
silicate of alumina. 1t has been
said that the work brings in "rela-
lively good pay" The expert fler's
pay is Is, cents day, but TO earn
that much a woman must work very
fast. The pay is relatively good
because labor is scarce in that coun-
try-scarce and i'll paid. - Ex-

Women Who Wear Wei.

frs 1t is astonishing how great change
few years Of married life often make in
the appearance aud disposition of many
women. Tho freshness, the charm, the
brlhance vanish like the bloom from .
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only o dim shadow, a faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect TO deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weaa-
ncsscs which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood. not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
OF its freshness and the form Of It's
fairness.

Married Thursday Afternoon.

Thursday afternoon there was
performed at the reservoir pond
a rather unique marriage cere-
mony. For several weeks a
number of young people had
planned a picnic, but the weather
has interfered. Two of the
number decided that it would be
a good opportunity to get mar
ried, and as the date was finally
fixed for Thursday, April 18th,
thev chose the time and occasion
of the picnic to have the cere-
mony performed. Some few of
the crowd that went on the pic
mic knew that a marriage was to
be solemnized. but the majority
of them never dreamed of it.
The contracting parties were

clerk for the Slater company,

them all the happiness they
anticipate. For the present
they have taken rooms with j.
