As many make use of the summer months for traveling purposes, a word is in season aDout a very pretty traveling dress for a young person. You will lind it shown in the picture. It consists of skirt, open jacket and blouse, the materials being lawn tennis woolen, creain foundation striped with red and yellow, and Scotch plaid silk in which red predominates. The blouse is belted in with a band of gold galloon, and tbe collar is also covered with the galloon. The iacket hangs open and the skirt grazes I the ground. Crepons are extremely modish for outrof-door C03tnmes, races, rowing and sports of all day. At a reoent race meeting was seen a charming costume in fawn-colored crepon. yoke and cuffs of pink satin overlaid with guipure, with a black chip hat trimmed with black and pink. Clue serge is also Been at the races and out door fetes, set ofl with bright colored shirts. The bit of headgear shown in the illustration is in the line of capotes, only this i9 floral in character, being made up of a diadem of shaded gilliflowers. The strings and aigrettes must match one of these dominant shades. Quite a novelty in the hat line is the tourist's hat, made up in straw open work or lace work, similar in shaj>e to the popular tourist's hat in felt or cloth. The crown is medium tall and has the creased effect of the original, and the brim, while slightly I ItjOi\?!J '**$'x\V ^=S5^ j I A FLORAL r.\PCTE. projecting in front, is curled up at the sides and very Darrow at the back. Some are in black straw, rneshel, the brim being bound with a strip of plain braid and the crown U"immed with a band of straw moss galloon, wound twice around and ending under a moss rosette, set off bv three quill feathers of the golden pleasant. These hats are quite dressy enough for the promenade and go very well with any quUt costume. I need hardly add that our old friend, the Bailor hat. is more a favorite than ever. A charming s'^iside gown is shown in the picture. It is in two colors of serge?white, and any tone to suit the coloring of the wearer. The jacket and bias band encircling the skirt are of white serge, the skirt some cases this garment is made with an elastic so thrit the bouffant falli over the belt. If you wish to carry out the masculine conceit, you must wear over this blouse a long jacket decidedly man fashion. The jacket has no darts in front, and falls quite straight.

Tne jacket lias double fronts.the under reaching only to the waist and hooking in the ininlle: the upper fronts have no darts, ii: this costume white and mauve would go charmingly together. Mauve is very modish this season, or rather what they call mauve, which, however, is not always the pale shade of violet that rightly goes by that name. Silk blouses closing in front with gilt buttons and made with turn-down collars exactly like the neglige shirts of the men, are worn by young girls who take pleasure in doing as their brothers do.

It would take forty years for all the water in the great lakes to pour over Niagara at the rate of 1,000,000 cubic feet a second. If the sun gave forth sounds loud enough to reach the earth, such sounds, instead of reaching us in the space of about eight minutes, as light does, would only arrive after a period of nearly fourteen years. From Bavarian meteorological records, Dr. Van der Stok extracts what he believes 1o be conclusive proof that the mooD has an appreciable influence on the number of thunder storms and upon cloudiness. Oxygen, nitrogen, marsh gas, carbonic oxide and almost all gashes, including air, may be liquefied by being subjected to intense cold under pressure. Liquefied oxvgec is found to have marked mag netic properties. Natural gas has been discovered on the shore ot the Qreat Salt Lake, within ten miles of Salt Lake City, Utah. Several wells have already been put down to the depth of 650 feet, and it is said that 50,0u0,000 cubic feet of gas are now flowing daily. | Mandioca, a plant indigenous to Brazil, grows abundantly, and the root is used as a substitute for wheat flour, though less nutritive.

"William Carson is high line among the fishermen of this county for thiB season. He was out on one of the tugs one week ago Saturday, and with the crew of the tug was engaged in taking halibut on the banks about three miles west of the bar. After catching a fortypound halibut, several small ones and a few soles, Mr. Carson hooked something that "walked" away with his line in a steady manner. He called for assistance, and with the captain and one of the tug's crew the result was the same, tne Une steauiiy waitviDg away irom toret i of them. A turn was then taken around | one of the bits, when as the strain increased it was seen that the tug was swinging to the stiain, and the line at the same time appeared to be moving toward the surface. Judge of the surprise of Mr. Carson when a whale about forty feet long came to the surface and blew about two hundred feet from the tug, with the line fastened to one of h:s flukes. With a sudden lurch of the tug the line parted near the bit to whi'jh it was fastened and went flying through the air in the direction of the whale. The whale stayed close around the tug for a couple of hours and was struck with chunks of coai and shot at, to which he paid no attention whatever. After Captain Nelson had stuck him and lost his line also, the tug steamed a couple of mile farther out to get away from him, as besides getting away with t the line he had so disturbed the fish that | they would not bite.?H a tub old t (Cal.J I Times. _ . : . V. W_. ? .:: Lt A YEAR'S MURDERS. STARTLING FACTS GATHKRBD li? CUNaUS OFFICE LiPEHi'S. Ot the 82,329 Prisoners in the Unitec States 7380 Were Charged* With Homicide?Lvnchings and Executions. ^"V'EXSUS Office statistics of homi[ ( cide in the United States, which V/y have just been issued, are among the most interesting bulletins yet published. The facts were gathered by Special Agent Frederick W. Wines, who has charge of the statistics on pauperism and crime, aud in an editorial summary Superintendent Porter declares that the report, 'so lar as it goes, is complete and final. The report is bastd on the criminal record ot 1890, acd shows that of 82-, 329 prisoners in the United States on June 1, 1890, the number charged with homicide was 73S6, or 8.97 percent. Omitting 35 who were charged with double crimes, 6958 of them (or 94.65 per cent.) were men, aud 393 (or 5.35 percent.) were women. As to color, 4425 were white, 2739 negroes, 94 Chinese, 1 Japanese and 92 Indians. Of the 4425 whites, 3157 were born in the United States, 1213 were foreign born, and the birthplace of 55 is unknown. A careful and accurate inquiry into the nnrontatre of those born in the United States results in the mathematical conclusion that 56.14 per cent, of homicide commited by white women and men is chargeable to the native white element of the population, and 43.86 per cent, to the foreign element. On the same scale of 4614 to 3605, the negro contribution to homicide is represented by 5478. More than one-half of the foreign born whites are unnaturalized, and nearly onefifth are unable to speak the English language. In respect to age, prisoners charged with homicide range from 11 to 86 years. One-sixth of them are under 24 years, and more than one-hal? under 33 years of age. Their average age is 34 years and 193 days. The lowest averages are among the Indians, 30 years and ISO days, and the negroe3, 30 years and 279 days. The highest are among the Chinese, 37 years and 216 days, and the foreign born whites, 41 years and 159 days. The average ase of womeD charged with homicide is 32 3 ears and 216 days. The a^es at which homicide was committed are estimated to be at least 5 years bolow the averages here stated. Nearly one-half of this group of prisoners were found to be unmarried. T'no nnmKop nf unmarried was 3615; | 1UC UUUA^wa V. ? married, 2715; widowed, 703; divorced, 144. The percentage of those who can both read and write is 61.73; of those who can read only, 4.84; of those who can do neither, 33.43. Of the negroes, more than one-half can neither read nor write; of the Indians, nearly two-thirds. The percentage of illiteracy among the foreign born is nearly or quite three times as great as that among the native whites. The number who have received a higher education is 253, or 3.44 per cent. More than four-fifths have no trade. The foreign born and their children have much more generally acquired a trade than the native whites, aud the native whites than the negroes. The occupations of 6546 prior to incarceration have been ascertained, and are grouped as follows: Professional, 102; official, 38; agricultural, 1802; lumber, 29; mining, 213; fisheries, 19; trade and commerce, 173; transportation, -- J 1 3SU; manuiactures auu mecunuiuii industries, 1086; personal Bervice, 690; unskilled labor, 2253; miscellaneous, 21. The number employed at the time of their arrest was 5659; unemployed, 1225; unknown, 467. The habits of 973, in respect of use of intoxicating liquors, are not stated. The remaining 6378 are classed as follows: Total abstainers, 12S2; occasional or moderate drinkers, 3329; drunkards, 1257. The number arrested and imprisoned in the State of their residence was 6268; out of the State, 861; 463 had served as soldiers in the Civil War, 534 were known to have served a previous term of imprisonment and 224 were Federal prisoners. As to their physical condition, 6149 were in good health, 600 ill, 283 insane, 24 blind, 14 deaf and dum'j, 18 idiots and 263 crippled. Of prisoners charged with homicide, more than one-eighth were awaiting trial. Of those convicted, 158 were awaiting execution, 2406 oentenced for life, 845 for twenty years or over, 1438 for from ten to nineteen yeara, and 1395 for less than ten years. The average sentence less than life is l3 years and 292 days. It is greater for men than for women, and for negroes than for whites. The highest average sentence is pro nouDced upou v;uinameu. The number of cases classed as murder was 5548, of which nearly oue-half received a life sentence. The number classed as manslaughter is 1704, of which nearly one-half received a sentence of over ten years. Of the 158 prisoners awaiting execution 49 were found in the Kansas Penitentiary, no date having been fixed for their execution by any Governor since 1872. The death penalty is thus practically abolished in Kansas, though not by statute. The only States in which it bus been abolished by law are Rhode Island, Michigan and Wisconsin. The figures published do not indicate any increase in the number of homic.des as the result of such abolition. In the Tenth Census there were reported 4608 prisoners charged with homicide. In the Eleventh Census the number is 7351. This is an increase of 59.53 per cent., while the increase in the total population has been only 24.86 per cent. But it is largely explained by the great length of sentences for homicides, in consequence of which the ma jority of those reported in lssu arc again reported in 1890, together with those since canvicted of the same offence. The County Sheriffs repoited 15G executions during the calendar year lbbi), of which 94 were in the South Atlantic and South Central divisions. They have also reported 117 lynchings, '< of which 94 (the same number) were in the same divisions.?New York Telegram.

It does not seem to be generally known that the addition of a little kerosene oil to the raw starch in which the bosom9 of shirts are starched the second time will produce highly satisfactory results. The first starching should be done in hot starch in the usual way. Then to one shirt take a good half teaspoon of starch and dissolve it in as little cold water as possible. Next fill the earthen dish in which you dissolved your starch not quite half full of cold water, and add a teaspoonful of kerosene. Stir the oil well into the starch, ttien dip your smrt nosom several limes, rubbing iu the starch thoroughly with the hands. After this fold the shirt smoothly, roll it tight aud let it remain so at least an hour before ironing.? New York News. A TIME-SAVING DEVICE. It was once the fashion to put all remnants of dresses and other wearing apparel, whether of cotton or wool, away in a deep and annoying receptacle known as the "piece-bag." If a f?ock was torn and must be quickly mended, a plunge into the depths of this bag brought up fifty little rolls besides the one sought. A set of stout pasteboard boxes containing "the pieces'' of each member of the family with the name and contents written and gummed to the top is the time-saving device used by one systematic housewife that I know. Cotton and wool pieces are kept in separate box29. Feathers, flowers and hats belonging to the different members of the family nre put away in the same fashion. Trunks containing bedding or dresses not in use are also labelled with their contents.?New York Post. COCOA MATTINGS. Cocos mattiugs, which are useful and desirable for piazza mats and coverings and for covering the corridors of country houses used only part of the year, are a yard and a quarter in width, and the best quality is sold for sixty cents a square yard. Oiie of the best patterns has an orange ground crossed by broad brown stripes; ancther pattern has an ecru ground with red stripes. For the sitting-room of such houses blue denim is sometimes used as a border, or all over the floor a3 a background for rugs. Flax colored linen with a conventional fleur-de-lis or other design make3 a cool and soft looking background for rugs. Or it may be laid over heavy carpets as a desirable change for summer, and is a protection to the carpets as well. In a family where there are many children who dine at the family table a pair of crumbcloths made of this linen are a help in keeping the dining room in nice condition. A good quality of the linen, which is two yards wide, is sold for fifty cents per yard. A matting is shown this summer that is made in imitation hard wood floors, being like them in color and design. The mattings are jointless and of flne weave, some of them having borders. They are a yard wide. ?St. Louis Republic. THE TOMATO AJJD HOW TO COOK IT.

The two articles aopearinz recently in j nnnr inifnol (lOM pallor) forth Rliph & flood J J--' ? of inquiries in relation to the plans, prospects, etc.. etc., of the Atlanta Gold Mining j Companv, that the company has requested your correspondent to answer through the medium of the press the many questions which otherwise would require a score of letter writers. The property upon which the Atlanta Gold Mining Company proposes to begin operations is situated about 3% miles east of Dahlonecn, Ga.. consists of a forty-acre tract of land, which is crossed in a direction slightly fast of north by the famous Calhoun Gold Belt, having on this lot a width of about 150 feet. The entire belt is composed of alternate strata of soft s ate and quartz, all bearing more or less gold. At different times within the past twenty years mort or less mining has been done upon this lot, and while the work has mainly been confined to a very small portion of the vein, and has always been of a cru le and desultory character, the returns in gold have been extremely gratifying, and in several instances of sufficient "magnitude to put the miners, who, from time to time, have held leases upon the lot, in very strong financial circumstances. The total cost of all the work thus far done upon the lot would not under the direction of a competent mining engineer, provided with proper appliances, exceed *5000, and the total gold derived from this work, covering not over two acres of the lorty acres, is considerably over $00,000. The vein or lead is well defined throughout the whole length of the lot, about onequarter mile, and has been explore 1 at a number of places by shafts and tunnels, proving its continuance in size and richness from one end of the lot tc the other, a fact which is further evidenced by the valuable and rich mining properties lying upon the extension of this lead, both north and south of the property of the Atlanta Gold Mining Company. The shafts sunk upon this lead have gone to a depth of about forty feet, and have, without exception, followed down quartz veins which gradually increased in siza and richness as depth was attained. Hitherto the mining has been conducted principally with water, except where shafts were sunk, and the ore passed through sluice boxes depending solely for a means of reparation upon the gravity of the gold, and consequently allowing much of the fine gold and ail the gold contained in the undecomposed sulphurets to run to waste. This loss, resulting from causes noted above, has amounted to fully one-hall the assay value of the ore, as demonstrate? by determinations made with great care and exactness by the company. The Atlanta Gold Mining Company now proposes to put in operation machinery for mining which will greatly cheapen the cost of the ore per ton delivered at the mills, and appliances that will save at the mill not alone th; heavy free gold, but all finer particles, and the gold contained in the sulphurets as well. The experiments made by the company have demonstrated that a mill with a capacity of twenty tons can be supplied with ore for many years and wiJ! yield an annual profit ot $100,000 or upward. The average assay value of the ore approximates f2> per ton, and a modern mill properly equipped, costing $12,000 to $14,0^0, in the hands of an experienced millman, should save at least 85 per cent, of the lull assav value. The Atlanta Gold Mining Company has oeen incorporated with a capital of 4100,000, in shares of #10 each, fully paid and non-assessable, and one-half this capital stock, or $50,000, has been placed in the treasury as a worklDg capital. 4. portion of this treasury stock, sufficient to cover the cost of the mill and sucii other improvements as the company has in con ternplation, is now offered for sale at 50 per cent, of its par value, or *5 per share. The Southern Banting and Trust Company of Atlanta, <Ja., is the transfer agent of tha company, and all orders for shares should be addressed to them or to the Atlanta Gold Mining Company, No. 7 North i'ryor street* Atlanta, Gja. seeing nun one Eye. A person may see as far with one perfect eye as with two, but he can not see as clearly; for the advantage that binocular, or double, vision possesses over monocular or one-eyed vision, is that the former, by allowing the observer to catch sight of the object from two different points of view, gives him at once some idea of the proportions of its different parts. But though this is true in theory, in practice the judgment interferes and the judgment has been educated and in some measure rendered independent of the services of binocular vision, by experience and the use of other senses, such as touch. Thus a man with only one eye is never deceived as to the nature ot an oDject with which he )8 well acquainted, for the report of it that be ^ets Irom his vision is corrected and supplemented bv his experienced judgment and transmitted to his centers of consciousness in as perfect a form aa that which reaches those of a man with two eyes. Tbe advantages of binocular vLion may be thus further illustrated: In rapidly dipping a pen into an inkstand or putting a stopper into a decanter the oneeved-man cannot judge so accurately as tbe two-ejed man. Or, again, if we shut one eye and attempt to plunge the finger rapidly into tbe open mouth of a bottle we are apt to over-reach or fall short of it.?Washington Post. Remedy for Squeukin; Shoes. "A man who wears squeaky shoes is worse than a kiss without a mustache accompaniment," said a modern girl to a Mail and Express man last night. She directed her glance toward a young man who was crossing a tiled floor. "Some women know more than men, and if I had that young man in my care for ten minutes 1 would give him some good advice. He does Dot make much money and cannot afford to buy expensive shoes, and has to be content with readymade ones. "Nearly all ready-made shoes squeak, and the reason is this: When the inner and outer foul6 are put together there K generally Borne grit between them, and the action of the foot causes the little pebbles, which are harder than the leather, to work like the ball bearings ot a bicycle, and thus the squeak. A dealer told me a way to remedy this. When your shoes squeak go to a shoemaker and have him put a peg in the ani?> and there will be no 1U1UUIC v/l buv ow.v ? more loud proclamations. "Another thing, when you buy a new pair of shoes and they hurt you, put water in tbem unci let it remain for a minute, then pour it out, and if your shoes burn or hurt you after that you can say I am wrong.
