A reorganization of the Sea Island

A reorganization of the Sea Island copper company, by which the late management has been entirely elimi- mated, not only from the control but from all connection herewith, marks the beginning of new era in the his
 tory of that company. Dr. w. A.
 Wise, of Portland, who recently made an examination of the company's
 property in the interest of some of the principal share holders, has re- turned and assumed charge of the work of development which will he
 pushed as vigorously as may be con- sistent with a proper regard for economy and sound 6usiness policy. The Sea Island coppsr company is subsidiary corporation of the Pacific Coast Securities company. which owns assgroup of eleven locations, situate on the northeast side of the inner end of kasaan bay, about four miles from the Kasaan postoftiee. and two miles from the Hydah mine. The Eagle's Nest. upon which location most of the development work has thus far been done, lies at distance of about ?, 500 feet from tidewater, and at a eleya- tion of about 400 feet above it. The present intention IS to prosecute the work of development at this point, for which purpose double shift has bee put on. the work being confined 10 the ore body and the ore being sacked as fast as mined with view to future shipment. There is here an apparent large body of high grade ore, which it is estimated will cer- tiainly yield rot less than five dollars for every dollars .tpended in its development. It is .the purpose of the management to develop mine before undertaking any considerable expenditures for equipment looking to the shipment of product other than that which is taken out in the course of development. Ultimately wire tramway will be put up for the transportation of product to the waterside for shipment thence to the shelter. Chas Guzman is the resi- dent agent for the company and Wm. Req mine foreman.

DECORATION OF THE WALL.
Good Pictures and Framing Are Of
Most Importance.

Few Of the people who have artis-
tic taste in furniture know how to
decorate their walls artistically; or.
If they know good pictures, they have
too little idea of proper framing.
BY good pictures are not neces-
sarily meant paintlngs-they are for
the favored few who can afford to
own them; but black-and-white re-
productions OF the best pictures may
be had at a nominal cost and if suit
ably framed and properly hung are
beautiful ornaments for any home.
A good black -and-white print Of a
masterpiece is vastly better than a
poor painting.
The Japanese fully appreciate the
beauty of empty spaces; they go to
the extreme in keeping their orna.
ments in warehouses, displaying but
one or two at a time in their homes.
With the Japanese an ornament is
purely for decorative purposes; other
wise it has no place in the home.
When displayed, a great deal OF
thought and care are given to the
correct placing of 1t, so as to show
it to the most artistic advantage.

elusive test Of Mrs. Fish's standing In
the smart set came the other night,
when she gave dinner. Sixty per-
sons were present. but not an Astor,
not Vanderbilt, not . Goelet, not a
Rhinelander, not schermerhorn, not

Of tough, tasteless meat The princi-
pies underlying an three methods is
Identical; the difference lies in the
medium employed. In all, the object

then proceeds more slowly to finish

of course. upon the size of the cut.
In broiling and in roasting, which
are in reality the same, the name de
pending upon the nature Of the piece
Of meat, this hardening Of the exterior
is accomplished by exposing the meat
to the direct action Of the heat, which
must be intense enough to scar the
surface at once. When It is not, the
juices seep out, leaving the meat
tasteless and sacrificing its nutritive
qualities.
In boiling meat, surface coagulation
Is attained by immersing the meat in
boiling water and keeping up the tenn

liminary rules OF boiling. one which
should be indelibly impressed upon
every cook, is that water cannot be
heated to the proper temperature for
