fact, I notice a frequent use of jet trimming
on summer gowns, both on light and heavy

the jet ornaments being butterflies.
I A TRAVELING PRESS.
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.

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

and very Darrow at the back. Some are in

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

one week ago Saturday, and with the

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,

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.
There are said to be over 400 fertilizer
factories in the United States, which

TO CLEAN ENGRAVINGS.
It has been found that ozone blcache< !
paper perfectly without injuring the
fibre in the least. It can be used foi
removing mildew and other stains from
engravings that have been injured by
hanging on the walls of damp rooms.
The engraving should be carefully
moistened and suspended in a large vessel
partially filled with ozone. The
ozone may be generated by putting
pieces of clean phosphorous in the bottom
of the vessel partially covered with
water.?New York World.
ADD KEROSENE TO THE STARCH.
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.?

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.

The Property and Proxpect* of the Atlanta
Gold Mining Co. Fully Described.
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*

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

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

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. The water takes all the
uatural heat out of the ieather. aod rnuke

I had been troubled five months
/ith Dyspepsia. I had a fullness
after eating, and a heavy load in the
pit of my stomach. Sometimes a
deathly sickness would overtake
me. I was working for Thomas

Pa., in whose employ I had been far
seven years. I used August Flow or

trouble. I can now eat things I
dared not touch before. I haft
