The Ttarilllnfir Drama of Life Sarin?. One -winter night on the dreary New Jersey coast a patrolman of the life saving service spied through the sltet and rain a dim red light from a wrecked schooner. He ran a mile to fetch the crew and apparatus. In the 'Jarkness, as the storm grew more wild, a big rope at last wa9 safely stretched between the vessel and the shore. The breeches buoy leaped across the surf, and presently returned with one of the sailors holdincr thr> nnlp nnd faintinff wife of the captain. On the next trip it fetched the captain himself, with his six-year old girl hugged tightly to his breast, her little wet face full of cheer and faith as she swung safely over the roaring sea. The old surfman who carried her to the station said. 44I wasu-t ashamed to cry for joy when the little thing held on to my old scraggy neck and chatted away as cherry as a sparrer." Her elder sister came next, and then the sailors one by one until all were in Eafety. Who ' would not give years of life to figure as a preserver of lives in such a thrilling drama as this.?Washington Star.

Pointed Shoes Still Fashionable. Bow knots arc the favored ornament of the hour. House decorators first revived them with the Louis XVI furniture, and they have spread over everything, from parlor walls to underwear. They form the new lace scarfpins, enameled like two^toned, change' able ribbons: in metal they arc on card cases; they are stamped on note paper, -woven in the patterns of gowns. 60JIE nUCXCH B0W8. " J embroidered in lingerie, and put in every conceivable place that will take a decoration, and the demand for ribbons surpasses that of any season within the memory of salesmen. But a bo-.v knot is a decoration only when its lines makes curves that are beautiful abstractly, without reference to the fact that they form part of a bow, and it is necessary to remember this if one is to apply to them any critical discernment, for the stores are full of imitations of tied ribbon in metal that have no beauty at all. The Louis XVI. bow knots have lived be? cause their curves were made to form part of a charctcristic style, and not because they imitate ribbon. A mere imitation is vulgar; and therefore do not buy the metal ornament?, whose only value ie that they look like something they arc not. "Wear real ribbons instead. Veils grow wider and longer. Black ones having reached their extreme, white ones elaborately embroidered arc the novelty, drooping to the waist and falling behind to the feet. The largest veil sold in the store is 2$ yards i long and a third of a yard wide. It is i bordered all round. Of course women of taste are not seen with these things Soating behind them in the Btreet, though such a woman may wear a long ; black one in the country, when driving,winding it about her throat.

A. long strip of wash blond to wind about th? face and throat at the sea shore would be a pretty protection and in harmony with the environment. 1 he size of the conservative veil now worn is one yard in length and three eighths of a yard in width.

Of course all these slashes are lined -with pale silk. The blouse is of the pale 6ilk and is finished under the,collar with a bias tie of dark blue.

Thi9 also is ft model dress. The news comes from Paris that trained skius tnreaten idc cnaj extinction of an old habit. The occasions when a gentleman might offer his arm to a lady have been long growing less, till now according to my French authority it is bad form even for lovers to link arms for an evening's promenade. This is cruel, but bloody wars have been waged for a less cause than a woman's petticoat. What with the preoccupation of her hands in holding up her train the lady finds herself only embarrassed by the offer of her escort's arm. It has always been the proper thing for the lady to enter the Louchamps Hippodrome on the gentleman's arm. Thi6 year for the first time it whs not done and it is apropos of this that Paris remarks sadly on a classic custom passed away. The occasions when a gentleman may still offer his arm to r lady are stated to be in passing through a theater foyer at soirees, to promenade the sa WITH L'iUll AVn VIM* Ion or go to the buffet and to pass to the dining room when one has been assigned to a lady by the hostess. In New York it is not usual for the gentleman to offer his arm through the theater lover. Colors in l'avor this year are all shades of pale green that verge on gray. Yellow green looks hot and must be sparingly used in hot weather. Chocolate brown and green is a favorite and good combination. Gray is much worn, but i: needs another color in combination to give it character. Bluish gray is detestable and makes a allow person sallower. Greenish gray is best. It should be trimmed with either dark gray, brown or black. Pink mingled with cold gray is a mistake very commonly made; nothing could be more crude. Pink and black are liked together this year and pale yellow is popular. A Japanese silk evening gown for a woman of plump proportions is shown in our illustration. It is pale yellow, Sgured with deep orange. The trim ' . y . ming is lacc and orange ribbon. A lutestring ribbon of black, laid all the length of the orange ribbon, and tied in with the bows. carries a thread o: black through the borders, ana adds greatly to the character. The fan of yellow and orange should have a blotch of red and :v few lines or a ribbon of black. The combination ol colors in this dress is very rich and beautiful.

While a voyage in a balloon Is perilous in the extrem?, yet the sublime spectaolos one witnessed far up In tho clouds and the indescribable sensations that thrill one'6 whole being are amplj rewnrd for the risk the balloonist takes, writes an aoronaut. At a height of 200 feet the air, rushing pa9t with tremendous velocity, gives one the impressioD of leaning out of the car window of a limited express, the sounds of earth die away in a murmur, and it is then that the balloon seems stationary, the earth fallinc away from it. Looking down from the height, all surfaces appeal level, mountains and valleys are alike, and the world looks as if spread out and flattened by a rolling pin. Roads and rivers resolve themselves Into narrow ribbons; forests, fields and meadows arc clumps of green, red and black with green as the dominant color. At two miles earth is lost to view, as In a fog. Presently the balloon begins to sail, driven by an air current. There is now no apparent motion. The aeronaut experiences a feeling of oppression; the air, deprived of its vital principle, ex? hauste at each Inspiration; ringing j sounds are heard in the ears and one can, eo to speak, hear the stillness. The brealh comes in quick, successive gasps that do not satisfy the lungs. It ts like coins to one's death. Looking upward, the horizon is I bounded by a big black ball?the balloon ?dark against the milky opaqueness of the atmosphere. The airship is swaying and swinging, while tho clouds, floating in a contrary direction, produce e vague giddiness. Seconds seems hours. Conjectures, recollections and retrospection flash across the bewildered brain as one reels through space. Suddenly the top of the balloon comes in contact with a cloud, there Is a slight Inr nr?r1 the npxt. instant all la enveloDed In fog, from which the aeronaut emerges soaked with spray. And now for the spoctacle! Sublime, dazzling. Mountains of iridescence, fleecy white clouds tinged with crcamy pink. Swirling combinations of color, blending and shifting as in a gigantic bubble. Golden greens, that melt into purple and bronze and crimson, with the 6un dissolving and overflowing on their tops. Wonderful tints, such as on artist never dreamed of. The balloon eails on and drops slowly away from this panorama once more into the colorless atmosphere. With the descent, the earth appears to rise and the balloon to remain flxed until the two meet, and the perilous ournuy is over.. A SPEEDY HORSE. He Went So Fast that Ballets Coald ITol Hit HI* Rider. A group of old cavalrymen were gathered in the smoking-room of their post headquarters one stormy day, engaged in narrating marvelous tales of the 6peed and endurance of the horses they had owned or handled during the famoue strucgle, when Gile, whose fame as o good 9tory-teller is not strengthened by a reputation for veracity, epoko up, saying. "You remember that big chestnut I rode when attached to Sheridan's headquarters in '64?" A smile passed round the circle, and the Major, with a wink, replied: "No; what was he, Gile?' "What was he? Why, he w?;s the fastest horse in Sheridan's cavalry.

"The surrounding country was infested with guerrillas, and, you may seo, my work was of an exceedingly hazardous nature, but as I was familiar with the country and always kept my eyes open I had little fear of being drawn into an ambush. Hut one morning as I wat riding leisurely I heard hoofbeats bohind and, turning, saw a squad of Johnnies corning down on mo in a gallop. I touched the spurs to my horse, and was off like the wind, and toon 1 heard the pop, pop, pop of their carbines behind me. They flred until their ammunition was exhausted and never touched me. and I should have got off ail ripht, but lust then my horse stumbled and fell. Before I could rise and mount again I was struck by a t-t^rm of bullets." "Why, how was that?" the Major broke in. "You SHid their ammunition was exhausted." "Yes. it was."

Indeed, it seemed improved by its long keeping, "and was," said my grandfather, "the most delicious beverage that I ever drank."?St. Louis Republic. PRESERVING B? SUN HEAT. There is probably no fruit which submits so well to the canning and preserving processes a3 the cherry, which doea not lose its delicious flavor by cooking, say9 a household authority. The strawberry, of course, is best raw, and is in its greatest perfection when Ireshly picked and eatsn at once. Still there are many ways in which it can be cooked and preanmo. I -* ^ 8V,-V thing different from the original fresh fruit in flavor it is yet very delicious. If you have never tried sun preserviLg of strawberries and cherries it will pay you to experiment with it this year, and, if properly done, you will find it one of the most delightful ways of putting up these fruits. It preserves them quite as effectually a9 cooking over the fire, and much more delicately, for it gives none of the rankness which is apt to follow cookiug in a heavy syrup. The manner of preserving in the sun is as follows: Stone some of the cherries and put them on platters or in flat dishes. To each pint of cherries put a scant pint of granulated suga*\ Mix them well by putting in first the pint of cherries and sprinkling the tugar over. Let them stand over night, and by morning the sugar will have extracted much of the juice. If they seem not to be very juicy in the morning set each platter in the oven for a few minutes only, or on a warm place above the stove, until the juioe has come out freely. Then set the platter in the sun?in the hottest place you can find?and put either glass or some sort of very thin netting over them. In from a day and a half to two days the syrup will thicken and the fruit will become semi-tranBparent. Put cold into jars and close them and the cherries are ready for .winter use. No heating is necessary, but it is a little better to put into self-sealing jars than into open ones, merely to keep the fruit from drying. Sun-preserved strawberries are done in exactly the same manner, and is by far the beit way to preserve the flavor of the berry. For canning cherries the best way is to sweeten them but slightly, cook for a few minuteB and then put them in airtight jars. They are very easily kept, and the flavor is retained better if only a little sugar is put in. When the cans are opened in the winter they can be sweetened to taste. Strawberries are I mnri" difficult to ker>n and reauire more - - r -1 ? sugar. The proportion for canning should be half as much sugar as berries. They should be cooked only until they are thoroughly heated through, then put into the jars as carefally as possible. They will lose their shape, in spite of care, but will retain their color if not cooked too much. Another way to treat strawberries, which is somewhat more troublesome, but has good results, is to put the berries and sugar in the jars, set them in cold water and heat gradually until they are heated through. Then seal the jars. This way takes more time, but the shape of the berry is retained better ?han when they are cooked in a preserving kettle. Still another excellent way is to stem the berries, put the sugar on them and let them stand over night. In the morning pour off the juice and melted sugar, boil it down a little, and, while boilinc. dron the berries in iust O I 4 I long enough to heat them. Then put i them in jars and seal. This gives a very pretty transparency to the berries. ?New York Recorder. RKCrPES.

Great excitement prevails in the gold belt of North Georgia, and mineral property is rapidly being "gobblnd" up by capitalists and mining men from the North and West. The whole gold belt, and particularly that immediately about Dahlonega, promises this year to be the scene of gigantic energy in mining operations, the like of which has not been witnessed since the early days in California. This tremendous revival of an Industry which has been prosecuted in a listless sort of way for upwards of fifty years In this field, is occasioned by the result of certain experiments recently completed on a large scale, in the concentration and subsequent reduction by chlorination, of tne metallic particles contained in necrly all of the ores of this camp. These experiments have demonstrated that the old processes in vogue saved only a small percentage of the actual value of the ores, and that by the introduction of methods long practiced in the west, but, strangely enough, never before trie 1 here, many mines before regarded aB of little value, can be worked at enormous profits. The ores are all mor<? or less suphuretic, and increase in sulphur ns wpll ns cold as denth is attained. Snmn of the richest ore the writer has ever seen came from water level and below, bat contained so much sulphur that the stamp (nill process alone would not save the gold from it.The new processes introduced do this most effectively ai:d have the virtues of being inexpensive and readily applicable to the mills now in use. At a point about three miles from Dahlonega, on the Calhoun Belt, ore o* the five great gold-bearing belts of Li mp'iin County, an old mine has been reo] ene I and some marvelously rich deposits of gol t quartz and gravel were discovered. One small spot is reported to have yielded 14000 in three days' work of two men, while the whole product of the mine, under crude operations, entirely without machinery, is estimated at upward of 100,000. The mine covers one whole land lot of 40 acres, and the gold belt, over 100 feet wide, extends entirely through the lot. The work has, so far, mainly been done on about two acres, and the rest of the lot has only been prospected sufficiently to show the gold veins continuing all the way across. One shaft has been sunk about 60 feet on an incline in the belt, and the ore taken from it yielded an average of $6 per bushel, or at the rate of about $120 per ton in free gold. A party of Atlanta gentlemen nave purchased this properly, lot 523?15th District, 1st Section Lumpkin County, and named it the Bertha C. Mine. A corpor*ation has been organiz?d to work this mine, chartered by the State of Georgia, as the Atlanta Gold Mining Company, with a capital stock of $100,003, divided into shares of $10 each, ful:y paid up and non-assessable. The company proposes to put in reduction works of the most approved machinery to save the full assay value of the ores and to conduct the mine and mill upon strict business principles. *50,000 of the capital stock has been placed in the treasury of the company for the purpose ot carrying out these plans and a portion of the same is now offered for sale, in mm> to suit uurchasers at 50 oer cent, of its par value, or five dollars per share. ihe Southern Banking and Trust Company, one of the strongest financial institutions in the South, is tne depository of the company, and issues its stock.

About 1802, with the advent of Spanish mermos, probably to aid in their introduction and as an advertisement, iheep-shearing festivals were in much favor with farmers. Prominent among these shearing festivals, and continued for a dozen years, was one at "Arlington," opposite Washington, the estate of George "Washington Parke Custis. The hospitalities of General CuBtie at these annual gatherings was enjoyed by large collections of prominent men. Georgetown papers of those times gave programmes and premiums that indicate the large enterprise felt in sheep-raising, as a part of American agriculture in which General Custis had a National pride.?American Farmer.
