OF course velvet Is impractical stuff,
showing spots and wear readily, prone TO
wrinkle. i~rreconcilable with bad weather.
No woman of few frocks should dream Of
ordering a velvet, but a more beautiful
material was never made. nor one more
becoming, nor one giving a more emphatic
impression Of richness; and with these vir-
tues TO its credit, why should a material
be barred merely because It is not alto
gether serviceable? When did fashion
makers or fashionable women consider the
wearing qualities Of a material?
AS a matter OF fact, no such phenomenon
initiated against velvet this fall. The one
fault that could be urged against the ma
terial was that, despite the suppleness.
which II has taken on in recent years, IT
does not drape so clingingly, so sobtly
as do the soft satins and crepes and nets
and cloths; and since all the world had
gone made over clinging effects one heard
less of velvet than OF other stuffs. On
second thought, the designers have real
lied that for straight, clinging effects
without drapery. velvet is all that could
be desired. richer than cloth or the Otto
man, which has been pushed forward for
dressy costumes and inimitably beautiful
in cclorings.
Some of the new velvet models in three
piece or directoire frock designs are alto,

Get up, SAM" urged Mrs. Andrews

Mr.. Andrews looked out of the second
story window, asking the dark figure
below what he wanted.
"Here's a package for YOU" was the
answer. Laying down a big bundle.
the figure hurried awas, Mr.. Andrews
went swiftly downstairs, with his wife
making hasty preparation to bring up
the rear. He struck a match, pulled
back the cover and yelled up to his
wife:
"It is a Christmas present. It's a

The Andrews home is childless, and
there was great joy in the voice Of the
head Of the house. All morning the
neighbors crowded in to see the baby

NO RENT FOR 1898 MONTHS.
Campaign Of N~eapolitan Tenants Who
Are Leagued Against Landlords.

The Naples householders have form
ing a reduction of rents, and they dis
covered hat the best method to force
the landlords to accede to their de-
mands was to stop the payment of
rents. The league numbers about
1000 members, non of whom has paid
rent for the last six months, says Il
Naples Qtaly) correspondent of the
New York Sun.
The landlords first attempted evic-
ton, but they failed, as the police de-
clared that they We're unable to evict
1000 families who meant fight and eX-
pressed their willingness to stand a
siege. Next the landlords brought suit
in the civil courts.
The case came on in due course of
time, but none of the h~ouseholders
was present or represented. The land
lords reioiced at the prospect of an
easy victory. Suddenly a woman walk
ed in.
She said she was one of the 1000
members of the league and wanted tc
defend her case. h judges have tC
accord a reasonable period of time t.
the defendant in order that he may
prepare his defense. This period i
generally a month. Accordingly OF
the woman's demand the case was ad
journed a month.
The month passed and the case agar
came Oh for hearing. None of the de
PENDANTS was present. The court the1
decided to hear the case in their alb

of the league came in, repeated tht

hearing, and again the case vas pu
off for another month.
For the next i 1893 months a membe
of the %householders' league will repea
the trick. and the case won't be heart
before that time. Meanwhile the mem
bers continue not paying their rents.

The Hair Under the Mi-croscope..

Placed under a powerful microscope,
the hair shows a surface covered with
strong, coarse, jagged teeth and more
strongly resembles a coarse, rough
rasp. Dealers In human hair a tell
in a moment whether the locks offered
them have been cut off or comhed out.
They do this by rubbing the hairs
through their fingers. If the hair has
been cut from the head and has not
been misplaced, it remains in it's origi-
nal position. If it has been pulled or
combed out and put together regard
less Of the direction in which it grew,
n portion Of IT will slip to the right
and the other to the left. 1t does this
because the Jagged edges engage upon
each other and pull in opposite direc-
lions. The philosophy of this is demon
strated by drawing a hair first one
way then the other through the fingers.
which slip easily toward the point,
while considerable resistance is felt
when the fingers are drawn from the
point toward the end next the head.

Uses For Fruit Seeds.

The seeds Or stones Of many fruits
which would apparently seem useless
have some economic value, and In this
connection we are speaking chiefly Of
those which are often thrown away,
passing w many that are applied to
ornamental uses. In certain parts Of
Egypt date stones are boiled to soften
them, and the camels and cattle are fed
upon them. They are calcined by the
Chinese and are said to enter into the
composition of their india ink. In
Spain they are burned and powdered
for dentifrice, and vegetable ivory nuts
are said to be applied to the same pur-
poses. Some species Of attalea nuts
are burned in Brazil to blacken the
raw c%aoutchouc or india rubber. The
seed or stone of the tamarind is some-
times prescribed in India In cases Of
dysentery as a tonic and In the form
Of an e~lectuary.

shoes, hanging by the lace, in his hand.
"Ah," said Hewitt, II think 1 know

you those slippers"
Crockett looked ashamed and indig-
nant. Eyes," he said, they've done
me nicely between 'em, but I'll pay

FLUSH, hush!" Hewitt said. "You
mustn't talk unkindly Of a lady, you
know. Get into this carriage, and
Well take you home. Well see if 1
can tell you your adventures without
making a mistake. First, you had a
note from Miss Webb telling you that
you were mistaken in supposing she
had Sighted you and that, as a matter
of fact, she had quite done with some
body else-left him-of whom you were
jealous. Isn't that so?"
"Well, yes" young Crockett answer
ed, blushing deeply under the carriage
lamp. But 1 don't see how you come
to know that"
"Then she went on to ask you to get
rid Of Steggles on Thursday afternoon

"Well she knew this-f thihk I know
who told her-and she promised to
bring you a new pair Of slippers and
to throw them over the fence for you
to come out in"
II s'pose she's been tellin' you all
this? 2" Crockett said mournfully. "You
couldn't ha' seen the letter; 1 saw her
tear it up and put the bits in her
pocket. She asked me for it in the
lane in case Steggles saw it."
"Well, at any rate, you sent Steggles
away, and the slippers did come over.
and you went into the lane. You walk
ed with her as far as the road at the
end, and then you were seized and
gagged and put into a carriage"
THAT was Browdie did that" said
Crockett, land another chap 1 don't
know. But-why, this is Padfeld
High street! They told me it was
Newstead Hatch. They drove for
about three or four hours and kept
me down on the floor between the
seats, SO as I couldn't see where we
a going"
"Done for two reasons" said Hewitt
first, to mystify you and prevent
any discovery of the people directing
the conspiracy, and, second, to be able
to put you indoors at night and unob-
served. But there is the Hare and
Hounds just in front. Well pull up
here, and I'll get out and see If the
coast is clear. I. fancy Mr.. Kentish
would rather you came in %unnoticed."
In a few seconds Hewitt was back,
and Crockett was conveyed indoors by
q side entrance. Hewitt's instructions
to the landlord were few, but en-
phatic. 'Don't tell steggles about It,"
he said. Make an excuse to get rid
Of him, and send him out Of the house.
Take Crockett into some other bed
room, not his own. and let your son
look after him. Then come here. and
Til tell you all about it."
Sammy Crockett was undergoing a
heavy grooming with white embroca-
ton at the hands Of Sergeant Kentish
when the landlord returned to Hewitt.

CONSIDER BIDS FOR

COMMISSIONERS OF TWO coUN-
TIES in SESSION HERE.

From Thursdays Daily.
The county commissioners OF Car
bon and Yellowstone counties met In
Billings yesterday in joint session to
open bids for the construction Of q
bridge over the Yellowstone river
near Columbus, half OF the cost Of
which will be borne by each county.
Consideration Of the bids was de-
ferred until this morning in order to
give the bidders a opportunity OF
bidding on the work OF constructing
a bridge on the two sites at present
under consideration.
The commissioners Of Carbon coun-
Ety favor having the bridge built a
quarter Of a mile east Of the site
which was agreed upon, and delega-
tons Of taxpayers from Absarokee
and Columbus appeared before the
board to protest against such action
being taken.
Owing to the fact that law forbids
the building Of a bridge by a single
county, costing more than $4,000,
without the issuance Of bonds. the
two counties agreed to bear the cost
Jointly.

gate Case.
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Harry Stewart was arraigned before
Justice Mann yesterday morning and
bound over to await the action OF the
district court on a charge Of burglar
izing w. B. Ten Eyck's harness and
saddle store IN this city on the night
OF March %.
Sheriff Felix Alston OF Basin coun-
ty, Wyoming, arrived in Billings early
yesterday morning for The purpose Of
finding out If possible II Stewart stole
q saddle and two horses from Basin
county last March.
Sherif Aston did not have a de
scription OF the man who stole the
horses and saddle, but has a descrip-
ton Of the property. He will make an
investigation to ascertain If Stewart
is the man he wants.
A saddle belonging to Stewart which
was stored in one Of the local livery
s s& NJ &F 4AG4&s
stables corresponds to q nicely, even
to the number, on the saddle, to the
one which was stolen in Wyoming. 1t
is a nearly new Coggshell saddle and
despite the fact that saddle men OF
this city say that the saddle shows
that it has never been ridden more
than 10 miles and is apparently new,
Stewart declares that he rode the sad
die all Of last summer.
Two horses which Stewart claims
he has in a pasture near Billings are
being sought by the police and it is
believed that both animals r the
ones stolen in Wyoming.
Stewart has confessed to burglariz'
ing Ten Eyck's and stockwell's stores
but maintains that he is not implicat'
ed in the Wyoming affair and that he
has never been in Basin county.
