The street com missioner was instructed to bring be- fore the council an estimate of the number of such corners that will haze to be laid and their cost.
 The six-foot cement walk on Wash ington street from Seventeenth ave nue to Central avenue, which was petitioned for some time ago, was ordered laid. Property owners will have ninety days in which to comply with the request.

,-- Washington, Oct. 1.-The Indian bureau officials today declined to treat seriously reports of an uprising among the Indians of the Cheyenne River reservation. South Dakota. and advices just received from the Indian agent of that section deny that any trouble exitss among the tribes.
 It is looked upon by the Indian bureau as an annual rumor and is said by them to arise out of the animus of local stockmen, who desire to stop settlers from coming into their country and thus take up their graz ing lands.

Putting On q Veil.

There is only one proper way to
put on a veil, madame" said the fore
woman of a Fifth avenue millinery
hat shop to a customers who had
just bought one of "our imported
models" made in a large establish
ment on lower Broadway.
The forewoman, who was very
MAGNIFICENT and condescending in her
manner, then proceeded to take a
veil at $3.50 a yard, cut off a yard
and a half, wave 1t about to shake
out the folds, get the exact centre
and place it under the lady's chin.
She then fastened the lower edges
at the back of the lady's neck with
the barrette out of Ter hair. Lifting
the upper part of the veil, she placed
1t smoothly over the brim Of the hat
and fastened it at the back. 1t was
certainly the best way Of fastening a
veil, as there were no ends over the
face and the veil lay smooth and taut
from the brim to the tight band over
the neck. To lift the veil, n had, OF
course, to take out the barrette, but

The general trend of the hat brim
is downward.
Never were linen suits more popu-
lar than now.
The princess costume is a feature
Of the season.
Simplicity is the keynote in chill
dren's apparel.
Jade bracelets with dainty. silver
or gold deposits are among the nov
elites in jewelry.
The silk skirts are very tight fitting
to the knees; then a full sun pleating
is used as a finish.
The princess, both fitting and semi
fitting, the directoire and the empire
are all holding their own
Necklaces Of small cut jet beads
will be worn much by those who
favor the collarless gown.
Real pockets. long and fiat, are
concealed beneath the trimming on
the sides on many of the tailor mades.
The big hat hangs on in spite of all
the attractive forms of headgear that
have been designed to replace it, and
still is predominant in dress effects.
Paris has a new skirt, known as
the reasonable" skirt. The back Is
furnished with two pleats, which give
a certain fullness where it is most
needed.
There is a new skirt made upon
directoire lines which is partially di-
vided, but which is so carefully hung
that when walking the division is not
evident.
The new pepper and salt" feathers
are much worn in conjunction with
a toque of sorrel green velvet, this
color combination being much
favored.
Cotton Bedford cord is to be had in
a wide range of colors. 1t is similar
to pique in appearance, but different
enough to appeal to those who like
a change.
The deep pointed bodice is already
heralded by the reverse position OF
the pointed girdle which is beginning
TO turn downward at the front rather
than upward.
White edgings for w~aistcoats are

One of the late favorites with
motorists in England IS the knitted

For One so Young.

Every day of his life, and in many
little ways, Robert Murdoch dis
charged some portionof his hereditary
obligation, and felt the responsibility
of that peculiar relationship which
the ante-bellum patriarchs sustained
toward their people. He was not
their master, but the Almighty had
endowed him with greater gifts than
theirs. Noblesse oblige.
We'll, Uncle Andrew, I'm glad to
see you. Sit down"
Murdock's voice grew softer as
he spoke to the old negro who came
in, leading a small boy by the hand.
Uncle Andrew was an old -timer, one
of the remaining few.
"Marse Robert, please, sub, take
dis boy in de sto' and teach i'm
sumpin'. I can't do nuthin' wild i'm.
He kin sweep out an fetch water an
run errands."
Murdoch glanced at the shrinking,
white-eyed little negro. We'll, Uncle
Andrew, is he honest?"
Andrew scratched his head, con-
sidered a long time, and replied:

King Edwards Consideration.

It is customary on the royal yacht
to keep the red carpet on the deck un-
til the King or the last officer has
come aboard for the night. One
night, not long ago, his majesty did
not 60 ashore. At 10 o'clock he was
enjoying a cigar on deck, when ne
called out to the quartermaster,
Send for the officer of the watch"
On his appearing the King inquired.
what are these men hanging about
for?" 1.-The carpet, sir" What do
you mean" The officer explained
that it was the rule of the carpet.
But" said the King, don't these
men have to get up at 5 o'clock in
the morning." Eyes, sir" the
officer admitted. "Then," replied his
majesty, quietly, Gin future, whether
I am on board or not, you take up
the carpet before you pipe the men
to supper" Incidents such as this
spread rapidly among the sailors OF
the various squadrons, and that Is
why the King is so great a favorite
in the British Navy.-Dundee Ad.

Bags Match Costumes.

No matter how good looking a
leather purse or handbag may be
that is of smooth or pebbled leather,
1t is not as first class as the new suede
bag fringed at the ends.
The smart thing is to have n OF
these to match the costume. The bag
has a ragged effect by reason of all
the fringes cut from the leather hang
ing from it. 1t is not stiffened in any
way, and is carried by two long loops
Of the suede.
On some of the handsome ones
there is a monogram of semi-precious
stones. The imitation turquoise is
especially used for this work.
In shape these bags are square,
oblong, rounded at sides and bottom
and cut of sharply at top. Some clasp
in the regular purse way, and others
have a deep flap that catches with a
patent clamp over which is a large
uncut stone.
The prettiest ones that are seen
are in the natural suede set with blue
stones, and the peacut blue and green
ones heavily fringed, with the mono
gram in green and blue crystals

MOUNTAIN OF r
A Deposit of Great Value in Heart Of
Death Valley.

Deatn Valley
With the exception of the Grand
Canon there is probably no more
famous locality in the West than
Death Valley, known as the yale
below the sea-" and although there
arc a number of Mount Blancos in
the Great American Desert, the Mount
Blanco of Death Valley is the greatest
of its name.
1t rises like an enormous white
breast against the terra Gotta ridge
of Funeral Range, close to Furnace
Creek Canon, a great rent that cleaves
the east rampant of Death Valley.
Around it is a rolling waste of bald
yellow hills, none of which is a mere
knoll, and it towers a good 1000 feet
above them. The lowland of Death
Valley, sinking for several miles
westward, is probably $500 feet
lower.
No one ledge or series of lodges
anywhere in the world contains the
immense amount of borate quartz
shown in the surface of this mountain
of %Colemanite. 1t is a body of ore
measuring 1000 feet in width and
5000 feet in length, pitching into the
mountain range at a thirty-three de-
gree angle. 1t is a borax quarry
whose limitations cannot be even
roughly c%onjectured, but 1t must eX-
coed by thousands of tons any known
borate deposit.-Detroit News.

The Black Spruce.

Time brings revenges, ever in the
timber trade, and a humble confer
long treated with contempt seems
literally to be on the point of getting
a rise in the world. Hitherto the
black spruce" says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser, has been despised by our
few British ~foresters as OF meager
commercial value. the yellowish tim
Der being soft and easily indented,
though very light and long of grain.
It has lately been discovered that by
virtue of the last named two quail
ties this tree furnishes by far the best
wood for aeroplanes. AS yet the
black spruce has rarely been planted
by our sylviculturists save for orna-
ment or shelter.

In Giving a Shower.

The natural embarrassment which
a shy girl is apt to experience in find
ing herself the object of an unexpect-

function of this kind in a simple and
amusing way.
The gifts were all needfuls for the
kitchen. They were brought in
packed in a large hamper, and as
each was taken out, the bride and un-
married girls of the party had to ex-
plain the Uses of the instrument or

STEADY SUPPLY OF PEARLS.
Purpose of Scientific Investigation
in the Ceylon Fisheries.

The pearl banks of Ceylon, it may
be pointed out, are merely sand
banks formed of sandstone and con
cretions upon which isolated masses
Of coral grow without forming roofs,
so that severe disturbance of the oys-
ter bed may very easily be set up.
It is found that the collection Of the
spat by native divers is slow, but the
most satisfactory.
The pearl bearing cestode is not
q true oyster for edible purposes, but
is more closely added to the mussel
family. It differs from the ordinary
animal in having a "byssus," or bun
die of tough threads, by can OF
which it secures a firm adherence to
suitable materials, and similar to the
facilities possessed by the mussel.
Attempts are being made in cultivat-
ing this oyster by artificial impreg-
nation of the pearl forming larvae.
Investigation is being carried out to
ascertain the origin of the spat and
how it periodically disappears. 10
connection with this research a thor
ough study is being made of Ae sea
currents on and around the oyster
banks and of the surface drift in
the Gulf.
The fishery IS very intermittent.
Prior to 1903 there had been none
for twelve years, and the situation
became so serious that G. commission
was appointed to investigate the sub
1ect. In 1905 the harvest was the
greatest on record. Over S0,000,0 900
oysters were collected, realizing ST.
100000, t%wo-thirds going to the
islands treasury. In the subsequent
two years it dwindled regularly, and
1908 proved barren. 1t is against
the recurrence of intermittent fat and
lean years that scientific devel-
opments are being conducted so that
the fishery each year may be of more
steady and reliable proportions. By
the assistance of science it Is antici-
pated that the speculative character
Of the enterprise may be almost
eliminated.
During the last few years the ten
dency toward community of inter-
ests' had developed among the ma
tives at the auction sales. A ring"
was formed to bring prices down, at
the same time keeping out small pur-
chasers, but an officer promptly sus.
pended the auction indefinitely. The
members Of the ring, apprehensive
that their journey to the island would
prove abortive, broke up, since which
time there has never been any at
tempt at coordination. "-Scientifo
