CITY Gets GIFT Of
300 TONS Of FINE
BALLAST ON WHARF.
COMMISSIONERS OF STREETS
ACKNOWLEDGED THE OFFER
OF FRANK WELLES WITH HIGH
APPRECIATION.

Three hundred tons of fine road
making material at the south end of
Palafox wharf were yesterday pre-
sented to the street department by
Frank Welles, of the Saunders Fish
Company, and Commissioner johnson,
of the street department, yesterday
afternoon accepted the same, thank
ing the donor for the Tot.
This material consists of rock,
stone and gravel, unloaded from sew
eral vessels which brought it here
and discharged the same as ballast.
In the past, If the city desired any
of this kind of material, it cost quite
sum per ton, and thus the lot as
given yesterday was gladly accepted.
While the city is not in need of
such a large amount of road material
now as it once used, before the pave
ment system had been carried on so
extensively, still there are number
of places all over the city which need
to be filled in and the ballast will
come in quite handy.
The entire lot was unloaded from
ships at the south end of Palafox
wharf, and the only ite1u Of expense
will be the operation of the city's
own teams, to place it where desired.

Society Ladies Adopt
New Hair Curling Method

Since the Introduction Of liquid sill
merine in this country, II has become
quite ''the proper thing among society
women, who have readily adopted 1t in
place of the destructive curling iron. The
waves and curis acquired by the new
method are far more natural in appear
ance, and the hair is of course glossier
and prettier than could be If the life
were cooked out OF 1t.
The liquid is pleasant to use. being
neither greasy nor sticky. 1t is a simple
thing to apply with clean tooth brush
at night when the hair is down. The
lovely wavy effect IN evidence in the
morning is all that one could wish for
1t costs little TO use liquid silmerine, as
few ounces from the druggist will keep
the hair In curl for weeks.-Adv.

Raining Iapioca.

the product of plant that is culti-
vated very extensively in the Malay
peninsula, where its culture is almost
entirely In the hands Of the Chinese.
The tubers Of the plant (Manihot utilis-
sima), which weigh on an average
from ten to twenty-five pounds, are
first scraped and then carefully wash
ed, after which they are reduced to a
pulp by being passed between rollers.
This pulp Is carefully washed and
shaken up with abundance Of water
until the felcula separates and passes
through q very fine sieve into a tub
placed beneath. The -four so obtained
is repeatedly washed and then placed
on mats and bleached by exposure to
the sun and air. 1t is finally converted
into the pearl tapioca Of commerce by
being placed In crude shaped frame
covered with canvas. 1t is slig' y
moistened and subjected to a rott y
motion, by which means it is granu-
lated. 1t is next dried in the sun and
finally over the fire In an iron pan
creased with vegetable tallow and is
then ready for the market.

was the case Of Benjamin Bathurst,
who vanished Nov. 25, 1909, while en-
gagged on a secret mission for the for

plomatist's objective, and. with bis
friend and valet, in post chaise, Perle-
berg, a small posting town in north
Germany, had been reached. Here
Bathurst supped and slept, awaiting
the arrival Of fresh horses. Waking,
he asked were the horses ready and
passed out Of the door to make In
quiries. Eight people saw him 60 out,
but none ever set eyes on him again.

skeleton was discovered with hole In

Brides In India.

A bride in India never sees her hus-
band until after the marriage cere-
mony. The parents choose the wife
for the son Of the house without con-
sulting either party. Sometimes the
bride is as young as fourteen. The
child is gorgeously dressed and placed
on a dais behind a sheet, the women
of the family being in attendance.
On the other side of the sheet are the
bridegroom and many Of his young
men friends. The groom keeps throw
ing over jewels attached to flowers,
which the women on the brides side
remove and place In her lap or on her
person.
This first ceremony is called the
shadee, and, although man is allowed
four wives. no other ever holds the
same position as the first chosen for
him. The others are Of little impor-
lance, living their lives more or less as
servants to the first wife. AS the first
wife gets to middle age she is known
as the begum.-Pearson's Weekly.
