Tho Back of a Glove.

The meaning Of the three marks on
the back Of glove and the clocks on
a stocking were two Of the little mys-
teries Of dress explained at lecture
on clothes in London. The lecturer
said that the three marks on the back
Of glove correspond to the fourchette
pieces between the fingers, and in old
en- days these pieces were continued
along the back of the hand, braid be-
ing used to conceal the seams. A
somewhat similar origin was assign
ed to the ornamental clock on the
stocking. In the days when stockings
were made of cloth the seams came
where the clocks do now, the orna-
mentation then being used to hide the
seams. The useless little bow In the
leather band lining mans hat is a
survival of the time when a hat was
made by taking piece Of leather, Dor
ing two holes through it and drawing
it up with piece Of string.

Newport experienced very quiet
Fourth of July this year. Receiving the
prize fight returns furnished about the
only excitement of the day, and in the
evening the promiscuous setting off OF
fireworks on Washington avenue created
great deal OF noise. The dance at
Kelly's Hall in the evening was we'll
attended.
The larger part of the pleasure seekers
from Newport went to lone by rail and
boat. The new town down the river put
up a rafting good celebration, and took
care of the large crowd that attended in
good shape. They also took care of the
Newport ball team, trimming them up
with score of to 4. The game did not
start until 4 o. clock, and two of our team
were compelled to leave half hour later
to catch the train for Spokane. The
team was rather demoralized anyway
and it proved an easy victory for lone.
Several hundred people from Newport
were present. and the returning I. & W.
N. special that left lone at 1880 p. m.
was crowded.
Spirit Lake and Priest River also drew
crowds from this point and picnic parties
and fishing resorts enticed others.

Fashions In Bornao.

According to the rules Of Borneoan
fashion it is deemed necessary to mold
ones limbs into a more shapely form
than that bestowed by nature. This Is
done really effectively by winding
strong brass wire round the ankles, the
wrists, under the knees and above the
elbows Of children. Growth at these
points is, in consequence, greatly ham,
pered, with the result that the limbs
come to be deformed or, according to
Dyak ideas, brought into proper shape.
The headdress consists Of a curious
headwork cap. and around his neck
bridegroom to be wears bangles Of
plated fiber and strings Of cowrie
shells. These shells, by the way. as in
other parts OF the world. are used as
currency. A yard Of fiber or twenty
to thirty cowrie shells represent the
value Of penny. The white armlets
are made Of another species OF shells.

with Apologies to Wilbur D. Nesblt)
When Adam met Eve he only too glad
To partake Of the delicious fl nit she had.
He whispered "The dearest, the sweetest are you'
(The modern Adam tell you it's true)
He munched the forbidden, the luscious fruit
OF knowledge. of sorrow, of wisdom and truth
And that's how that ended
And 10 and behold! his eyes opened wide,
When the Master called, "Adam!' he sought him to
hide
Hind Eve, his wife, wailing: "She gave it to me,''
(Which is of frequent occurrence you see)
The Master angry, and Adam squealed boo!
Oh, Lord! I've done naught but Eve asked me to do
And that's how that ended
And Eve like woman, bravely stepped forth
"Have mercy on him! am guilty my Lord!'
She pleaded for Adam, admitting her guilt
(Which proves she was much better built.)
When the twain left the garden their troubles to Nurse
Twas Eve said to Adam: 1T might have been
worse.''
And that is how it always ends.

NEW FORM OF

A Delaware charter has been issued

market a novel system for generating
power by the use OF coal on the IN

BY this system coal Is burned IN

Of the fuel with oxygen are usel Tor
direct production of mechanical power
on much the same general principle,
as the gases formed in the combustion
OF gasoline are applied directly TO the
production of power in the gasoline
engine. The principal difference Is
that the combustion is continuous In
stead Of explosive and turbine in
stead of an ordinary motor is used.
The company is to acquire the pat

the engineering field as the Warren

ventions developed by Edward c. War

OF reducing the enormous waste OF
fuel involved in present day methods
