A STRANGE.PRISON. fow a Town in Virginia Utilzes a Mountain Cave, "Speaking of caves," remarked the drummer whose territory extends from New York to everywhere, "I suppose you don't know that down yonder in the cave section of Southwestern Ken tucky it isn't unusual for the towns which are built over caves to use them as sewers, and theres many a kitchen with Its sink leading right down into the depths of the earth. But an even odder use than this to which nature 'may be put I discovered In the cave country of Virginia. "The little town of Eldridge, with a population of 600 or 700, has a large contingent of miners to be handled by the authorities, and when they get ugly -they are ugly, indeed. Two or three tcoolers' for their accommodation when drunk and disorderly had been burned or torn down by them, and the town marshal was hard put to know what to do. At last the editor of the local paper suggested that the cave In the moun tai not 300 yards from the City Hall .would be just the thing for a calaboose, and the marshal proceeded to investi gate. He found that the way then 'in ,Use to get into it was down a ladder - thirty feet through an entrance six or eight feet in diameter, and that when pace in the cave the air was dry and good; there was a stream of fine water, and that, though it was dark, the elee tric light could be introduced easily from the town plant. "That was his report, and without saying anything much to anybody, beds and beards and a few other pieces of necessary furniture were taken down, and on Saturday night when the boys began to whoop It up and were taken In they were carefully let down into ,the cave by a rope on a portable wind lass that had been rigged over the nouth, and silence prevailed on the face of the earth. The lights were turn ed on and it was bright and cheerful; the boys had all the room they wanted; they could do as they pleased (down there), and the loudest noise they could make couldn't' possibly be heard on earth. That plan worked with eminent success until one night thee was a fight and a man was hurt-, and then the 'authorities fixed up some cages or pens, and an officer went down fi:-st to re ceive the visitors and care for them on their arrival. It has been workinr that way ever since, and is undoubtedly the ,safest prison in the whole country, and Is the cheapest and most enduring."

The crusaders against the users of ieathers and birds are terribly in earn est in England. At the annual meet ing in London, recently, a speaker was applauded for the suggestion that if women would refi.e totak6 for hus bands [men who crunched larks for dinner and men declined to mate with women who decorated themselves with the feathers of singing birds, the ob jects of the society would be attained. Another speaker hoped that the pres ent fashion for feathers would be brought to the direct notice of the Queen, whom she was sure would do all in her power to discourage it. The greatest card of the meeting was a letter from the poet-laureate, written from Italy, in which he said: "The greatest stigma on the fair land from which I write is the per petual harassing and slaughtering of birds by its 'entire population- Hence their groves are too often in want of the crowning sylvan charm, of wood notes wild." The annual report showed that the membership of the society had reached 16,200. Who Should Wear Necklact,. It has beer said that only a woman with a ver.y. Lcutiful or a very ugly throat should wear a necklace. The idea is that the necklace serves either to attract attention to adjacent bead ties-like the patch on a fair cheek or to hide bones and wrinkles. In the latter case more than a necklace.is needed, strings and strings of pearls, dog collars and ribbons being worn d the same time to cover up deficieul? cies. If the -theory holds true, one must assume that there are few women with commonplace throat and necks just now, for the jewel shops are full of necklets, bands and collars. Beads hold an important place in the compo sition of collars. For a youthful throat a necklet of rose-tiated coral beads is quite the vogue, coral having come into fashion with other obsolete jewels. The usual way is to string them in several rows, passed through upright slides set in diamonds. A newer way is to mount the beads on a light, invisible framework that holds them in position. If diamonds are added, it is in the form of pierced eads, introduced among the others so as to compos'e a geometric design a check or key pattern, for instance. Diamonds set in straight rows are treated in the same way, not placed close together like the beads, but with a wide space between each row, so fastened to the frame that a piece of wide ribbon velvet may be slipped in behind the jewels, or narrower vel vet, be laced baorward and forwar in Vandykes. Pendants are out of date, as are most heavy ornaments. Jewelled collars-sometimes have a fringe of bril liants round- their bases, the stones set at extremities of extremely atten uated blades of metal, placed edge upward, or a cross-barred arrange ment of such blades, with brilliants at the intersections, coming down in one deep pointed plistron in front, or forming a series of Vandykes all round the collar.-New York Com mercial Advertiser.' . How About This? ? We often hear it said that while women are bright and quick they are naturally deficient in analytic power; that while they may become learned they can never become logical; that though they may write beautifully they can never argue well. This idea is based on a theory which was proclaimed before women, except in the rarest instances, were permitted to receive any sort of intellectual training. Since the education of women has begun this theory has been knocked into smithereens. A notable instance of its fallacy was pre sented a few years ago when a young woman carried off the highest honors of Cambridge, both in classics and in the analytical studies, over hun dreds of "logical" competitors. Another instance in kind is that of a young lady at Cornell. The fifth debate between the chosen champions of that institution and those of the University of P'ennsyl ania was had at Ithaca, N. Y., re eently. One of the three Cornell disputants was Miss Abigail Laughlin. She was the first woman who ever appeared in in intercollegiate debate in this coun try, and there was great curiosity to see how she would acquit herself. The judges were unanimous in the de ision that the Cornell debaters were stronger in points of argument, but may it be said that the two young men who represented Cornell won this decision? Not at all. It was the universal verdict of those who heard the debate that the strong st argument presented by any of the d1isputants on either side was that of Miss Laughlin. The Philadelphia imes declares that "her logical powers were unequaled by any of her associates." What are those who conteni that woman is not the intellectual equal of man going to make out of this case? H-ere we have the spectacle of two of the greatest and most progressive universities of the country choosing from their thousands of students the six who were considered best abile to argue a question and the only girl among them comning out ahead of the We have no doubt that similar re suIts would be seen at other intercol legiate debates if a girl should be ad mitted occasionally to the list of dis putants. -Atlanta Journal. simple Evening Dresses. There is nothing prettier or more approriate for evening wear than In dia silk. White ancd the lighter tints are ideal materia is for simple dresses. They also fnrnish admirable founda tions for draping with exceedingly thin fabrics. A young lady reader of the Ledger has a white India silk that is somewhat past its first freshness, and she wonders what she can do with it. It is well to have white or light colors cleaned so is to make the shade as uniform as possible. Covering up stains and spots is by no means an easy matter, and to clean one part of a dress and not the whole of it cannot fail to produce an incongruity plainly seen by one of taste. And as it is the people of taste we wish to please, it is worth while to improve every oppor tunity to better the condition of our materials before going to the trouble and expense of making them up. A skirt of white silk is to be cut out after the ordinary pattern of gored skirts, and finished completely. It is then put on a figure, properly adjust ed and draped with diaphanous ma terial. Even if accordion plaited lace, chiffon, or tissue is to be used, it is better to have the skirt' on the frame and allow it to remain there for some time. If this were always done, there would be fewer unsightly ob jects in the way of drooping draperies and folds all awry. The waist is besi draped upon the wearer. It is not necessary in refurbishing a waist af ter such a fashion to open a single seam. The material may be shirred, pleated; tucked and shirred on draw strings, or simply gathered, the raw edge ooncealecl by a band of galloon or ginp, the fullness held down by similar pieces of trimming, and the lower edge drawn under the bodice and loosely tacked there. Sleeve puffs can be sewed on by turning the lower portion up toward the shoulder; then bringing the puff back, fastening it down at the elbow, and covering the raw edge with a band of trimming. If the slip is covered all the way down, it may be desirable to make the cov ering in two sections, joining them at the elbows. Collars are best made de. tachable, although this is not neces sary. One sometimes likes to vary the colors, and a dress of white India silk, draped with cream-colored gauze, may have ribbon collar, sash and trim mings in pink, blue, green, heliotrope or lemon color, and will furnish infi nite variety by such simple devices. Itis hardly worth while to make up a white cr cream-:eolored dress with a color that cannot be removed at pleas ure. Q&-Maf one has an exten sivew4drobe, this-may be very well, but for the multitude, w~hoihnd! tw~ or three beat dresses at the most, a~ color should be detachable. By pving dresses made on this plan, one does not weary either themselves or their friends -"that :everlastine ow dress exi nrs.--. e yellow ud be taken out, and pink, green or gray worn, the criticism would never be made. A dainty and sdmple evening dress is made of fine otted swiss. There is a plain skirt ma infant waist for a foundation. For flounces of chiffon with ribbon edge are set on the skirt. Epaulettes, simulated yoke and ~a full cascade down the front, with fluffy collar, produce a pretty and becoming effect. -New York Ledger. Fashion Notes. Weur de soie is a soft, glossy silk, very durable, and light in weight, de lightful to the touch, and well recom mended for wear. The bolero, in all sizes and shapes, is to be worn again, and it is some times made of lace, quite close fitting n the back and full in front. In silk toilettes the black and white effect is decidedly pronounced in house and evening attire. Black jet, lace nd colored velvet are the favorite trimmings. Mlany of the model costumes nave n suite a tiny stole-fronted shoulder cape matching the gown, this little wrap being very short, rather full and exceedingly smart in effect. Dog collars are made of cream or black net with sprays of old lace ap plied on. Loops for. the hair are also formed of the same ornamented net, wired to keep them in place. A blouse without darts, yet snug in fit, and with a flat basque, is one of the accepted styles for gowns of plain r mixed goods. The basque part is often dispensed with, but when there, it is cut in tabs or not, as the wearer elects. Handsome mixed gray cloths show heavy borders, with rich and orna ental designs in black. Checks and basket effects are also seen in the borders. Mohairs and ch eviots will be in favor together with fine diagonals and red materials. An especially handsome dress fabric is the half-silk plaid, having black orded checks. Other half-silk goods are in piquelike effects,showing bright olors, with the black cord check run ning through them. These goods will be among the newest for gowns. Ready-made cuirass bodices are seen in great variety in the sL.res. They are dainty, picturesque adjuncts to many toilets, and may be had in sil ver o>r tinseled ciiffon, spangled jet, beads and steel and jewel embroidery. Trimming to match may be had by the yard. One in two shades of cloth has a yoke, collar and vest of the light goods, with black braid forming V's; revers. collar. close sleev-es, tabbed basque and blouse having underarm seams only of the darker material; stitching on all edges and a black satin The shawl-shaped cape made of black lace over colored silk is one of the novelties in wraps, and the edges are finished with ruches of chiffon or lace. This will prove a very useful fashion for those who have lace shawls stowed away in their cedar chests, for they can b,e utilized with great effect in Qil a thes novel garments.

Postmen Who Are Fo npelied to Adopt This Method of Locomotion. The modern postman has been mounted on a bicycle, has been given t horse to ride; sometiles a horse draws him about, bit the q>iee-est of all methods of locomotion of postme3i is that which is utilized in France; There men of letters-and papers mcve about on stilts. It is not meant that all the French postmen make their rounds in this fashion. Only those who serve the country and the postofle bfficials thro:gh the great stretch of land that lies between Bordeaux and Bayenne are so distingaished. All this land is covered by a growth of gorse and broom which makes walking a very diffi sult matter. The postmen, however. have found that there is a way to ren der it much easier for themselves and that is by taking stilts. To walk about in this fashion is not as easy as walking on one's feet in the ordinary way. The stilts are fastened to the feet of the postmen, and are not unlike those with which the small boy makes annual detours. To stand still. any length of time on them is of course impossible without support, and so a pole is carried, in much the same way that the yeoman once lugged about his quarter staff. On this pole the post man leans when he wishes to rest, and in this way manages to get along very comfortably. There is another proposition to face when winter comes, as of necessity the stilts sink deeply into the snow, and this makes walking a very diffi cult matter. This the genius of the postman has proved sufficient to over come. He accomplishes his under taking with the aid of a thin wooden skate, with which he skims along the surface of the snow and ice without sinking at all. It is by no means an easy matter to balance one's self tied to the knees. What then must be the effort of skating on stilts? This French postman makes re markable speed as he shuffles and glides about from one place to anoth er. Oftentimes the route which one man has to travel on foot in this fash ion includes more territory than Greater New York possesses. The skates, therefore, instead of being a hindrance and a danger, really make this woik easier, and the postman in the Landes, as this queer tract of country is called, rejoices at the com ing of winter, for he realizes that his task will become a considerable per centage lighter. Clad in his capote, or sheepskin clotk, he scurries about over the coun try until he has been everywhere that his duty calls him.' Sometimes post men of a neighboring territory meet him and challenge his fleetness, the result being a tourney. Many of the postmen who follow this method of transportation are said to make as good time as most people would with a horse and buggy4 WORDS OF WISDOM. Occupation is the scythe of time. - Napoleon.

A Queer Case.l Ten miles west of Aurora, Ind., making her home with her mother on a small farm, lives Lizzie Windhurst, aged thirty. About five years ago she experienced a most singular dream in which her death on a certain day was foretold. She related her dream to relatives and persisted in regarding it as a revelation of her approaching death. As the time was near at hand she prepared her burial clothes, then took to her bed and awaited the dis solution, which she believed would take place on the 14th of the month. The 14th passed and she still lives. Hier friends tried to persuade her that he was not going to die, but she in sisted that she was, and said it would ocur on the 14th of the next month. She continued to lie in bed prepared for the end. Another 14th passed and she insisted that it would be the next. She has refused to leave her bed. Her faith in the revelation is not,how ever, shaken in the least, and she re fuses to leave her bed for even an* hour. She has prepared all of her shroud for burial while lying in bed, and numberless times has Mrs. Cart wright, a kind neighbor, washed and ired the garment to humor the poor gir. Four times she has worked it rover, but still the faith in the dream is unshaken. She is seemingly very rational on every other subject, but any allusion to her revelation irritates her and she suffers physical pain. Her relatives and friends have at last decided to let her have her own way, f.ing that excitement might kill her. Her-maady is considered monomamia. -Chicago Chronicle.

They are bearing a burden in silekee that grows heavier day by day; that is sapping their vitality and clouding their happiness. Mrs. AlexanderB. Olark, of 417 Mfehigan Aver.ue, Detroit, is a typical woman of to day. A wife with such ambition as only a loving wife can have. But the joys of her litewere marred by he existenee of dis ease. Suffering as thousands of hersis efs have suffered, she almost despaired of life a yet she was cured. "For five years I suffered with ovarian , trouble," Is Mrs. Clark's own version of the story. "I was not free one .dngle day from headache and intense twitch ing pains in my neck and shouldera. For months at a time I would be confined to my bed. At times black spots would appear before my ayes and I would be- I became bld. come blind. My nerves wereinsuehastate that a step on the floor unsettled me. "Eminent doctors, skillful nurses, the best food and medicine all failed. Then I consented to an operation. That, too, failed, and they said another was necesay. After the second I was worse than ever and the world was darker than before. "It was then I heard of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. I heard that they had cured cases like mine and I tried them. "They cured mel They brought sun shine to my life and filledmy eap with hap piness. The headache is gone; the twitch ing is gone; the nervousness is gone; the trembling has ceased and I have gained twenty-six poutnds. Iealth and strength is mine and I am thankful to Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People for the blessing." These pills are a boon to womankind. Acting directly on the blood and nerves they restore the requisite vitality to all parts of the body; dreating functionallrega latity and perfect harmony throughout the nervous system. The pallor of the cheeks is changed to the delicate blush of health; the eyes brighten; the muscles grow elastic, ambition is created and good health returns. "Spottsmen i In Bohemia.

The mutilated condition in which the body of the insurgent, Gen. Aranguren, was found illustrates the savagery of the Spanish soldiery.

Only savages mutilate their victims after death, and the Spanish soldiery seem to be of them. Reputation may make friends, but It takes charater to keep them. Beauty Is Blo.d Deep.
