east all was haze, save where wan
ing moon struggled, just above the
horizon, to pierce the mist with her
silvery rays.
Sea of Mist.
By dawn the entire face of the land
scape had changed. Durtng the brief
hours of darkness a pail of white mist,
whose place of origin was the cold
waters of the North sea, had crept
silently and rapidly over the hundreds
of miles of country dominated by the
hilltop. From this vast sea of mist
the tops of the highest hills stood
clear and sharp in the morning air.
Such sight as we were privileged
extremely rare in this country. and
during an extensive and varied wan
dericg on the Cairngorms at every
season of the year the writer had
never once experienced similar condi-
tions, when, more than at all other
times, the lover of the grand and
lofty in nature has instilled into him
the charm of the hills in its most in
spring form. Prior to the rising of
the sun the mist was of cold gray
tinge. Then gradually, almost imper-
ceptibly, rosy hue was impaired to
the clouds beneath. and soon after
sunrise the shadow of the Ben was
projected on the mists for many miles
to the southwest. Scarcely breath
of wind stirred on the summit of the
hills, but far below the clouds were
being guided westwards. and during
their silent progress assumed in
places the forms of gigantic pillows.
or rose above the average level as
they slipped over some less promi-
nent hill which barred their progress.
By ten o'clock the sea of cloud was
.as yet unbroken, and now reflected
the rays Of the sun with dazzling bril-
lance. High above the mist to the
eastward the Cairngorm hills were
visible, Cairn Toul (4,241 feet) being
specially prominent across the so

There is a plating of lace about the
throat and small ribbon decoration at
the right side by way of garniture, a
short satin girdle of plated ribbon
fastens with hooks and eyes at the
left side under extremely small made
ornaments.
The hat is of hatter's plush, with
facing of velvet in black. The para
disc wreath in shaded flame color
gives brilliance and distinction to the
entire toilette.
1t will be noticed that the long
gloves are glace kid in black. They
make the arms look very slender and
reduce the apparent size Of all hands
remarkably. Very thin women should
not wear them. High surfaced black
is not for them. The sleeves are fin
ished with band of satin.
To study this costume Is more con-
vincing than describing it to show
that it has been carefully thought out
as adapted to the full figure.
The narrow dropping brim of the
hat makes the most of the length Of
the neck, since it does not conceal It.
The feather swirl Is light, following
the brim line almost exactly. The
shape is extremely graceful.
1t is by such careful thinking out
and management of line that grace Is
arrived at. Developed in black or
grey or mauve or taupe, this is q
good model, but for the purpose of re-
ducing the apparent size of the figure
black is the best choice.

THE SHAME OF NEVADA.

The great wealth that the Com
stock lode poured into the lap of the
world during the terrible times of
the civil war made Nevada a state
and did much to advertise its I'M
rivalled mineral wealth. Since the
bodies. 40 years ago, the Comstock
lode has been the sole means of ex-
istence of a gang of inscriptions
brokers in San Francisco, who have
prayed on the public by stock manip-
ulation and assessments aided by n
of the San Francisco papers whose
mining editor is a director of several
companies, the stocks of which are
notorious for their suspicious iuctua-
tions on the stock exchange of that
city, caustically comments the Tono-
pah Miner.
The Comstock that was once the
pride, is now the shame of Nevada.
it is the prostitute of the legitimate
mining industry of the state and the
following comments are reproduced
from Mining Science of Denver.
The public should be grateful to
Whitman Symmes for exposing these
brokers and warning the public
against their tricks.
1T is doubtful if such another
example of negative management as
that of the northend Comstock mines
can be cited. Among well-posted
mining men it Is a matter of COM
mon knowledge that the gambling
manipulations of the San Francisco
stock and exchange board have been
for years a most potent influence up
on the operations of the mines them
selves. Stock market manipulation
is not unusual, but it is seldom, in
the case of mines of good repute. so
fragrant as TO shut off the opportun-
ity for profitable industry. But the
~north-end mines of the Comstoek
lode have been VIGOROUSLY under the
tyrannical control of a brokerage
ring, to whom mining is secondary
to the main object of milking" the
market. Four years ago, an %iniuen-
tial and wealthy syndicate of New
York attempted to secure control of
the mines, with the avowed purpose
of introducing a cooperative system
of modern mining methods, but this
syndicate abandoned its efforts.
