The Bpotted silk mull dancing

as simple and plain as a school-girl's

The prophecy for the season re

ties of trimming, as the occasion re
quires.
A striking model occupies the cen

The Illoodthirsty Woman.
When an English princess became
the bride of King Alfonso It was pre
dicted that the tide of popular favor
would turn against hull fighting In
Spain. But Queen Victoria has ab
andoned her moral campaign against
the brutal sport because of the active
opposition of the Spanish women. It
has now become apparent that wom
en are the chief support of bull fight
ing in Spain, as they are of the
theatre In this country. At nil the
recent fights In Madrid and Barcelo
na women have been In the great
majority In the audience, and not
satisfied with their seats In the boxes
these bloodthirsty Castillan women
have organized and forced the build
ing of special seats for their exclus
ive use on a level with the bull ring.
From these seats they are enabled
almost to reach out and touch the
tortured bulls, while mere man has
to be content to sit by his loneliness
In the boxes. Queen Victoria has
introduced English fashions In dres-s
Into Spain but she has been powerless
to check the national sport. After
her first taste of bull fighting, when
a brlde'of two weeks, she vowed that
she would not return again to the
arena, but political expediency has
forced her to appear at frequent In
tervals In the royal box.
Blueing.
This Is especially done to Improve
the appearance of white clothes and
bring back some of the clear color
which they lose through wear and
age.
Blue, which dissolves most readily
and leaves least sediment after the
water has stood some time, is the
best.
It Is Impossible to lay down rulos
as to quantity, as it depends both
upon the kind of blue used and the
texture of the articles undergoing
operation.
As a rule, body linen requires
more blue than other articles, and
table linen less. To prepare t!?e
blue water, half fill a tub with clean,
cold water.
Dip the blue bag Into the water
and squeeze It tightly, repeating the
process until the water becomes a
pale blue color.
The blue water must not be too
deep In color, as it spoils the ap
pearance of the clothes. Stir the
water well before immersing the
clothes.
'Cabbage Day."
I have heard of a village l:i Mew
York where a certain day of t!:a
week Is set apart as "cabbage day."
and upon that day nobody Is at hom
to anybody else. This seems a good
plan, but all villages are not so sys
tematic, and so, despite the assevera
tions of the cooking teachers thai
there Is no need for cabbages to
smell at all, the dwellers In small
city houses are aften mortified a
feeling that a caller can guess from
the front door what the family din
ner Is to be. I have lately learned
a great scheme to set beside tb
cabbage cup a small cup of ylnegai
where It will gently simmer. Thll
done, the lady at. the front door will
not preserve a delicate reticence,
but will ask, In the very moment oi
greeting, "Oh, what good things you
are cooking!" For the aroma oi
cabbage and boiling vinegar mingle
Into a fine counterfeit of the smell
of pickles cooking. Farm Journal

greatest menace to the piospector
is death by thirst.
Three years ago, two young iueu
from Charleston arrived iu oucoi;-o,
purchased burros, projecting OJI
11 U, and a supply of provisions, mid
started into the l-uuionc-s agaiuni
the advice of all tue experience a
u.inera who made their acquaintance.
They never returned; but eighteen
mouths later ihelr bones, identllled
by means of their w-tches, aud the
bones of their ' urros, were found lu
an arroyo, together with a large
quantity of tellurium. They hud
found a mine, and had been unable
to retrace their steps, and bad prob
ably wuudered around until they
died of thirst. Their ores were found
to run more than one-eighth gold.
Two of the men lu the party thut
found the bodies went to search fur
the place from which the tellurium
had been obtained. They have never
been heard from, and e"eu their
bones have not yet been discovered.
Jan San bow, a raw Swede from
tbe lumber camps of the Northwest,
arrived in Socorro in the spring of
19U2. After prospecting fruitlessly
tnrougft the cnupadero Mountains,
he decided to try his luck lu the La
drones. He was gone just a month,
returning with glowing reports of a
placer held, with an abundant water
supply at hand, and with coarse gold
so abundant that one could see u
glittering in the sands. To prove
that he was no idle romancer, he had
more than 13,500 worm of coarse
gold In his possession. The few to
whom he revealed his secret made up
a party to accompany him to the
new El Dorado. Tuey searched un
til their food and water were ex
hausted, but could flnu neither the
stream nor tha golden sands. To
t ake matters worse, they then found
that they had hopelessly lost their
bearings, and could not find a way
out of the puzzling maze of gulches,
canons, and arroyos in which they
had become entangled. Just as ttieir
condition became desperate, tbey
emerged from the dark walls of a
forbidding canon Into an open moun
tain "park," with a smiling lake lu
its centre. Uame anu hsu were
abundant, so that provision for all
fueir bodily wants was at hand.
With the call of the inner man
stilled, the greed for gold returned;
and one of the party began panning
the sands ot the lake. At uis ex
cited call, the whole party rusueu
to bis side. Sure enough, he hud
"color";, and all were soon .busily
engaged washing the sands.
The discovery was "goot ," but not
sensational, borne days tbe work
ers averaged nore than ?1U eucu,
and on other days their labors re
turned hardly bait mat. amount.
FuiHlly It was decided that four of
the party should make an effort to
leiuru to socorro, or to nnd otue
otner outlying point, to obtain a
fresh :.jh ly of provisions and other
iiecessiiieb, wnne tne other two
should remain at the diggings.

SOLID MARBLE MOUNTAIN
White House Itunge a Solid .Wax of
Pure Mutuary Marble.
A solid mountain of marble, near
ly 14,000 feet high, promises to
maki the United States tho richest
marble country In the world.
If 5,000 feet of this marble were
mir.ed each day for 1,000 years, the
quarries would not be exuusted;
and It all other known deposits of
white marble In the world were
heaped up In one mass, It would
be but a foot hill as compared with
the white marble tespoBlt composing
this mountain.
So great Is the deposit of white
marble that If perchance every per
son In the civilized world should ex
pire to-day, a monument of generous
proportions could be provided for
each Individual.
White House Mountain in Colo
rado, Is one soltd mass of pure statu
ary marble.
For the present requirements
there has been exposed cne section
of solid white marble one mile
long. 335 feet thick, and extending
back at least a mile and a naif, as
indicated by drillings. The cores
from these drillings show that all
of the marble clear to tho bottom In
this cross section of the deposit Is
sound and beautiful.
Of this Immense deposit 41 per
cent. Is pure white statuary marble,
and 59 per reut. Ii divided between
golden vein and a beautiful dark
vein. The golden vein marble gives
the warm coloring that Is founl In
onyx. The statuary marble Is flaw
less and without i. trace of color or
shadow, and In quality Is equal or
superior to the most famous Italian
and Grecian marbel.
This marble can be carried In
blocks or pillars of any dimensions, n
bU-ton derrick and the maximum
capacity of the modern rallroac. tar
alone limiting the size of the com
mercial product. At this time tin
output Is 1,500 cubic feet per day,
but within ten years it is confident
ly believed the production will reach
10.000 cubic feet per day, the ne
mand alone limiting tho output.
Although this Industry Is scarcely
two years old, It Is coining to the
front with amszlng strides. Two
years ago the town of Marble, for
many years an abandoned mining
camp, had a population of four peo
ple. To-day it Is bustling little
community of .,000 persons, all sup
ported directly or Indirectly by tne
marble business.
Finishing mills, electric power
p. ants, cable and electric trams, and
1U0 or more cottages have been
erected within the past eight months,
and many structures of various kinds
are now under way.
t llig Trey.
Arnitbologlsti are inclined to dlfl-
courage the Idea that eagles are In
the habit of attacking large anliials.
but a contest witnessed by an ob
server, and recorded in the Scots
man, dispels such theory. The bat
tle was between an eagle and a stag.
The bird singled out from a herd
one particular buck, which It suc
ceeded in driving from the rest. It
struck the animal with its powerful
wings, knocked it Cown, and finally
killed it. A still, more remarkable
spectacle is well-authenticated. An
eagle attacked a fawn iu the High
lands. Tbe cries of the little one
v-ere answered by its dam, which
sprang upon the eagle and struck It
repeatedly with its forefeet. Faw..,
deer and eagle rolled down a de
clivity, the bird was dislodged froi.i
Its hold and tho fawn rescued.
Many traditions are extant us to
tbe carrying off of children by eagles.
the most recent case bearing close
scrutiny Is one which happened m
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stuck had been harried by eagles
lay In ambush for the robbers, and
ttfw one of them descend and carry
oil the five-year-old child of one of
his Kaffir servants. He shot the bird,
which, with the child still clutched
in its grip, fell luto a thorn-hush.
Tne bird was dead, but the child was
little hurt.
Two eagles v ill stalk a covert In
concert. While one conceals Itself,
the other beats about the bushes
with great screaming, driving out Its
quarry for the hidden eagle to swoop
uown upon. An even wore insidious
method has been observed. An oagle.

could devour It at leisure. Iu the
