The Band Barton and Albion gold mine, under the town of Ballarat, in Australia, has yielded more than fifty millions as the value of its output of gold since It was discovered about thir ty years ago. It Is the most productive gold mine yet known. Its supply o! paying quartz seems practically Inex haustible, and as the vein Is extensive, being spread over much territory, the mine bids fair to last for centuries. The work in the Ballarat gold mine 1b said to be much safer as well as more com fortable than that of the workers In A coal mine. At Ballarat there are no noxious gases and no danger from ex plosions. Air Is forced Into the work ings through various shafts. In the Transvaal rich and regular deposits were discovered in 1886 in the Witwa terarand. The reefs are estimated to contain nearly 100,000,000 tons of ore, the gold of which Is said to be worth £45,000,000. From eighty to a hun dred years must elapse before the field la worked out.

Among the distinguished outlaws he has chased were Jesse James and his broth er, Bob Ford, Bill Dalton and Bill Cook, while he was the leader of the band that caught Cherokee Bill in 1895. In the Dalton raid in CofTeyvilie, Kas., Jenkins was shot eight times. He esti mates his bag of bad men at about 150.

Ernest Whitehead captured a young seal near Anacapa island, California, recently, and took him on board his ship, says Our Dumb Animals. As the vessel started the mother seal was no ticed swimming about, howling pite ously. The little captive barked re j sponsively. After reaching the wharf at Santa Barbara the captive was tied j up in a Jute sack and left loose on the j deck. Soon after coming to anchor the seal responded to Its mother's call by casting Itself overboard, all tied up as It was in the sack. The mother seized the sack, and with her sharp teeth tore it open. She had followed the sloop eighty miles. RECOGNIZING THE DRUM MAJOR He Will Have a New Uniform, But Leu Decorated Finery. The drum major, the highly deco rated show piece of the military band and the delight of the email boy, hat received official recognition. For sev eral years the drum major has been slighted, and it a*as considered good form to speak of him as unnecessary. The National Guard hands took their cue from the army, and the drum ma jors of the regimental bauds became less conspicuous, their uniforms less elaborate, and in some instauces the bands dispensed with the services of the man with the gold lace embroidered red coat. But it seems that the army has recognized the fact that the drum major is necessary, and a new style of dress has been prescribed for him in PROPOSED FULL DRESS UNIFORM FOR DRUM MAJOR, HEAVY ARTILLERY. orders issued from the War Depart ment. He will carry a baton wound with silken cords and tassels, and the color will designate the arm of service: Cavalry, yellow; artillery, scarlet; in fantry, blue and white intermixed. The mounted drum majors will carry swords instead of batons. The shako, which has always been the headdress of the drum major, has been prescribed by the new regula tion, which describes this important article of dress in these words: "Black lynx skin shako, with plume and tassels of the color of the arm of service, and leather chin straps with brass scales aud side buttons." Falter Jonathan, Thinner John. The cartoon Yankee, lean, lank and slab-sided, is vanishing with the cen tury. So is the cartoon Englishman, big, burly and obese. The tailors of the country report an increased girth of oue and a quarter inches in the American mau of to-day over the American man of 1889. Waist coats aud troujers in the ready-made clothing stores arc now made in that much larger sizts. The figures col lected by the Anthropometrical De partment at Washington coutirm the story told by the tailors. The average American of the middle of the coming century will be tall, broad, fat and heavy in the scales. He will probobly be nearly six feet high, fifty inches around the chest, fifty-four around the abdomen and weigh any where from 200 to 225 pounds. Meantime the average Englishman has been growing thinner, probably because he is not so well fed as his an cestor, from whom the cartoonist of the eighteenth century drew thefami lar fat figure of John Bull. The aver age Englishman of 1809, according to the Fortnightly Review is live feet seven inches high, thirty-six inches around the chest and weighs only 150 pounds. The British Prime Ministers of the last forty years have been shorter, less stout and less heavy in the scales by about forty pounds apiece on the average than their contemporary American Presidents. Chicago's experiment in employing housemen instead of housemaids will be watched with interest. It does seem as if an improvement might bs possible. I NEW YORK FASHIONS. 1 I Designs For Costumes That Have Be- m j| come Popular in the Metropolis. NEW YORK CITY (Special).—For out door children's garments the new models show a somewhat puzzling variety. First of all, jackets of all PELISSE FOR FIVE-YEAR-OLD GIRTI. shapes and lengths, and pelisses cover ing the skirt, then there are capes which will be much more worn thau last year. These are made round with but tittle trimming and reaching slightly below the waistline. They are fre quently constructed with small pel lerines, one, two or even three, super posed, aud fastening at the foot of the collar by loops and buttons, so that they can be udded or not at, will. They are chiefly made in clotli or Scotch tweed, and many have plaid pellerines, covering the shoulders only and forming the trimming, or the long oape itself is plaid and the smaller ones plain. In the accompanying cut, repro duced from the Dry Goods Economist, is shown a coat-shaped pelisse for girl of five years. The material is white cloth. The revors of white velvet, stitched, are repeated on the cuffs and pockets. Three double rows of round crystal buttons ornament the front. For young children, say from live to eight, jackets are mostly made loose with straight backs and fronts, with turned-back revers aud no collar. Ilatu in Profuflion. Hats for the season now at its height prcsont a bewildering display. They are weighted with fruits aud ber ries, leaves aud blossoms which have been turned by the sun and frost in the workrooms. Straws the like of which never have been seen in a field are presented in combinations which require great courage to wear. A toque of several shades of violet velvet in bands, interlaced with a black Paradise feather, fastened by a jeweled rosette, is among tha recent styles, and is suitable for oveniug wear. For visiting there is a broad-brimmed straw, lilted at tho sides underneath by velvet bows and bands. It has three waving ostrich plumes, and pendant from the back are black mous seliue de soie strings, which arc tied under the chin a littlo to the side. Most becoming to a young face is another broad hat in green fancy straw. Swathed around its crown is mousselino, tho lightest shado of green. Clusters of cherries aud their leaves finish the combination. Brims are all wido in the new hats. One, loaded with autuniu flowers, with loops of wired black velvet ribbon wreathed over them, is a charming creation, but this, too, is fastened by velvet ties. The ever serviceable if not always appropriate sailor is to bo found in all sorts and conditions amoug the new millinery. Those which are trimmed with ribbon or wide velvet in loops at the bach are the only novelties IU this line. Gray Fashionable For WetMlng*. The most charming materials for gowns to be worn at the weddings of tho seusou are designed in gray crepe do chino garnished with gray pearl embroidery, and with such a gown a very flat-topped turbau of gray silk, wound with a scarf of pearl bedewed white chiffon, is the smart and proper thiug. No note of color is thought well of in connection with these very neutral harmonies, and for all stately affairs it is interesting to learn that trains will be eveu longer than we have over before worn them. Fashion'* No wast Fancy. The young persou who is fond of being tailor made may now add to her wardrobe a silk tailor-made gown. It is oue of fashiou's newest fancies. The silk tailored gown must be severely plain. It is very effective if made by an expert and trimmod with bauds of machine stitching. A llcnutiful Cluitelalne.

An "Exam." Economy is so important a subject that the mathematical housekeeper will doubtless find it greatly to her edifi cation and profit to consider the fol lowing from Puck: If a housewife twists in one hour and fifteen minutes ninety-three "lamp-lighters" wheD 1,250 matches can be bought for five cents, at what rate per hour does she value her time, assuming the worth ol the paper to be zero? If the aforesaid woman will take six steps across a room and six returning, each step being of twenty-two inches, to save one match, how far should she consistently walk to save five cents carfare? If a man can draw from boards, in fifty minutes seventy-eight nails of a cer tain size, what wages would he be earning per hour, nails being worth four cents per pound, and there being one hundred of this size in a pound!* In a certain climate underwear at a price of $4 per winter will assure against colds. Assuming that under wear costing $1 per season will lead to two visifts from the doctor at $1.50 each, what is the saving by the pur chase of the cheaper material? Oil i 9 worth nine cents per gallon. Eamp A burns forty-five gallons In reading or sewing period of one year; lamp B, twenty-five gallons. Spectacles A cost $4.50; spectacles 25 cents. If lamp B and spectacles B are used, the eyesight is made useless in eight years for a person whose expectation of sound eye sight with the use of lamp A and spec tacles Ais twenty-five years. Making no allowance for deterioration of | lamps or spectacles, estimate the value of eyea per pair. Force Exerted by the Heart. By accurate measurements of the heart's force It has been calculated that In twenty-four hours the amount of work done by It Is equal to 124 fool tons; or, in other words, If the whole force expended by tha heart in twenty four hours were gathered Into one huge stroke, such a power would lift 124 tons one foot from the ground The heart really performs this work In sixteen out of the twenty-four hours for eight hours during the day are tak en up by rests, every beat being follow ed by a pause, during which the hear! stops. Another calculation shows that the distance traveled by the blood thrown out of the heart Is seven miles an hour, 168 miles a day. or 4,292,00Cj miles in a lifetime of seventy years. j T Is your Theil VOUl^ best friends turn their heads aside.

When Washington made his headquarters at Roosevelt and Cherry streets, the local historians declare, he stored In these old build ings munitions of war supplies for his army. The historians of Cherry Hill then skip the intervening years until a period beginning fifteen or twenty years ago Is reached. The buildings were then occupied as resorts for sail ors. The Loopey gang, which once threw a man Into the river for 6 cents, made its headquarters in the neignoor hood. Near by was Sneepy's alley, leading from Roosevelt to Cherry street, in which a Roosevelt street resi dent declares there were three mur 2ers within as many months.
