Italian Beads.

A girl who has just come bach from
Italy wore around her neck over a
dark blouse a necklace of rope gold
tied loosely at the bust line and fn-
ished with two long tassels.
Every one who saw this chain spoke
Of it's beauty, thinking 1t an heirloom.
The chain was nothing but a rope Of
tiny gilt glass beads bought In Venice
for about 40 cents. Il am sorry now
she said, that I did not get more Of
them. 1 brought n for a friend, and
we have both had the same experience.
Every one thinks 1t one of the old gold
chains Of colonial days. Over there
they are so plentiful that 1T cheapened
the chain to my own mind
The friend, who was up In beadwork,
straightway copied this chain for her
self. She strung twelve strands Of
coarse yellow silk with the tniest gilt
beads to be found in this country,
twisted them into q tightly colled rope
and finished the end with a big gold
bead, from which hung tassels Of the
small ones.
The effect was not SO good as In the
Venetian chain, for the same delicate
beads could not be found, but a snowy
and unusual ornament was achieved to
brighten a dark blouse.

There are fads in philanthropy, just
as in everything else where the fash
ionable woman is concerned. Last
year and the year before 1t was wom-
an suffrage, but this season it seems
to be babies. In New York city a
coterie of the exclusive society women
have banded together to help the
mothers of the poor save their babies
lives during the summer Milk sta
tons are to be established, and the
100000 which these rich women have
collected will be devoted to the work.
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman, who has
been identified with many of the phil
anthropic movements Of the smart
set, is at the head Of this project.
Over sixty depots are to be opened,
where milk will be distributed to the
poor and whence doctors and nurses
will be sent to instruct tenement
mothers how to bring up their chill
dren. The secretary Of the milk com
mlttee, Mrs. Ida White Parker, said:
women of foreign lands in New
York do not understand caring for
children here under totally different
climatic conditions.
"Out OF 1875 700 babies born In New
York city annually 10000 die under
one year Of age. OF these more than
5000 waste away for lack OF proper
food and care. During a two weeks
heated period last summer 1905 ba-
bies died. 1t has been proved that
this waste Of life could be much re
duced If mothers were taught how to
feed and care for babies and If pure
and properly prepared milk were sup
piled at prices which they could at
ford to pay"

time cleaning their enameled bathtubs.
Here Is a way to make the work less

muslin the size of the tub and round
off the ends to fit 1t. A bias facing Is
then stitched around the cover, and
through this q stout tape is run. When
the tub Is not in use the cover Is
thrown over 1t and the tape drawn

BURIAL RITEs IN CHINA


nonor1 70 the boao.
The many curious customs Of
the Chinese have been a constant
source Of wonder and amusement
to the American tourist in China.
By far the oldest but most i'm
pressive Of their ceremonies is the
burial rites for their dead. The
Chinese hold their dead in high
esteem and shower honors upon
their memories by burning incense
and candles daily. They also honor
their relatives who have died many
years before.
AS soon as a Chinaman dies his
relatives embalm him. Dressed in
his richest garments, he is placed in
a teakwood coffin, solid and air
tight, and the coffin is closed and
sealed. 1t is then placed in front
of the family altar. This altar is
hung with richly embroidered
draperies and decorated with RcN-
ers, vases and josses. The period
Of mourning begins at once, espe-
cially among the women of the de-
ceased's household. They start a
daily lamentation over their loss
and are Joined in their occupation
of wailing by relatives and friends.
The male members of the family
are busy digging the grave, while
the women folk, assisted by the pro-
fessional mourners, do the wailing.
The grave is half under and half
above the ground and is inclosed
by a crescent shaped wall about
two feet high. Another thing to
be prepared for the dead is a minia-
ture house, which is provided with
miniature furniture. This idea is
to provide the deceased with all the
comforts of home In the regions
where he is going. An image Of
the deceased, together with drink
ables and eatables and money, is
placed on the coffin the day of the
funeral.
The image is not buried, but is
burned In the presence of the
mourners, who during the process
shrek and make the most frightful |
noises. This is to drive out the
evil spirit with which the dead man
is supposed to be possessed. When
the funeral services are over the
mourning banners are taken home
and used as ornaments on the bare
whitewashed walls of the rooms.
The more the banners the greater
the honor paid to the dead. The
house precedes the
to the grave. Then fol-
lows the elaborate hearse, draped
With rich dark blue velvet, with
silver fringes, borne by the natives.
The mourners, too, are supposed to
assist in carrying it, which they do
BY holding on to the white cords
attached to the hearse. Refresh
nents are served at the burial
ground, and at the end Of the serv-
ces the friends and relatives par

Fireman Is Scalded

The outgoing Morenci Southern, Monday morning, had the misfortune to have the tender and two cars try to get ahead of or on top of the en- zine, and almost succeeded, and there is seemingly no reason for it other than that the cars and tender wanted to get ahead, as the track was in line and to outside appearances there was nothing to cause any one to believe that such a thing could or would happen in the usual run of things. The track had not been giving any trouble neither had the cars been out of order and it was simply one of those ineXplainable accidents that happen to railroads at times and which for the same reason are un- avOidable. The cab of the engine was somewhat injured, and the bursting of a steam pipe on the engine badly scalded Amer Fiske the fireman He was brought to town and placed in the D. c. hospital, and when the wounds were dressed it was found that he had blisters to spare, and while the burns are very painful it is still hoped that they will not prove necessarily over serious.

The MOrenci base ball team started on Sunday morning for Lordsburg to play ball. Arriving at Guthrie, they found that the Arizona and New Mex ico Railroad was out of commission on account of the wreck between Guthrie, and Clifton, so they started back home, and when they had got iust past Bunk CTS on the cork screw line they got off the track and walked in, the boys say from the apparently hard luck, they have come out we'll iu one way, as the exercise in walking home will be good for them, and keep them in better trim for the next battle on the dia- mond.
 Our accommodating and loquacious shoe clerk, R. Crittenden, made an easy get away to Fl Paso on his va cation two weeks ago. His trip to Fl Paso was pleasant and interesting which can hardly be said of his re- turn. Landing in Hachita he was compelled to spend four hours seeing the sights of the city. On arriving at Guthrie his accommodation train again gave him ample time to make several social calls, consuming sew eral hours. Two miles above Guthrie his train jumped the track, and since Arizona is not known to have modern aeroplaues, "Crit" took to natures provision for such emergencies, and counted ties to Morenci. He regis tered home at three bells.
 Dr. Tuthill gave one of his instruc- tive lectures on First Aid to the In- jured'' Friday evening at the Club. Last winter Dr. Tuthlll gave series of these lectures which were very largely attended and which proved to have been so carefully planned and delivered that his instructions when put to the test were easily fol lowed, and proved most helpful in helping fellow men who were injured. It is the intention of the Doctor upon his return from New York to resume the lectures, as he has been requested to by all who have attended his lec- lures not to drop them on account of the great good they were doing.
