At the first night of German opera
this season the beauty of the fans dis
played was worthy of comment. Many
New York women own collections of
these delicate instruments that are
unique and almost priceless. A loan ex
hibition of them would be most interest
ing. There are two novelties in this
season's fans, or, more properly speak
ing, two distinctive features, for neither
is strictly a novelty. One is the prefer
ence for those of four and six sticks,
whose broad surfaces admit of free dec
oration. Some exquisite painted gauze
fans are shown with four sticks, each
fully two inches wide, of filigree silver.
Even more effective ones have almost
massive plates of undecorated gold or
nAnr1 for foundations upon which to
stretch embroidered gauze or lace.
The other noticeable effect in the new
fans is that of crusted jewel work, sim
ilar but much finer than the new gew
led passementerie used on gowns. In
some very costly fans the jewel work is
reaL but in more and almost equaiiyei-
f ective ones the precious stones are imi
tations of Parisian workmanship. J) earn
er fans remain favorites and dispute
reign with all innovationss. A gorgeous

Excellent Up Salve.
Here is a delightful recipe for a lip
salve to keep lips kissable and tempting,
not blue, withered and cracking into
seams like the orifice which serves ior
eating and speaking purposes on most
women this weather. Imagine a baby
being kissed by such a mouth! JNo other
creature would be caught in kissing dis
tance of it. The recipe is from a dainty
old collection by a feminine hand, trans-
rribed from the MSS. of maids of honor
and gouvernantes of well born girls:
Take yellow beeswax, two ounces anu
a half; oil of sweet almonds, a quarter
of a pint; melt the wax in tne oil ana
let the mixture stand till it pecomes
cold. Scrape it into a marble mortar
and rub it with a wooden pestle to
render it perfectly smooth. Keep it for
use in a galley pot closely covered.

Fashion's Influence.
Fashion is sometimes a friendly dame.
The Countess Taafe, a rich and power
ful social leader in Vienna, has set the
mndA of wearing many carved mother
of pearl hairpins and other ornaments
to profit the needy fishermen. Arch
duchess Valerie, daughter of the emper
or, has made silver ornaments and fur
nishings fashionable for the sake of the
silver workers. To benefit the half
starved weavers the Princes" of Wales
has revived the antiquated manufacture
of Irish poplins, of which she wears
many, and with her sisters-in-law has
forced into vogue for the street the
heavy woolen cloths, the making of
which means bread to so many hungry
men and women. Exchange.
Hiss Burning's Good Rifle Shot.
Saturday at twilight, while a house
warming was in progress at Thomas C.
McAdam's farm house, on the Nooksack,
a tremendous splashing was heard in the
brook near by. All rushed to the stream,
where a cougar was found eating a fine
salmon he had just' caught The men,
without alarming the great cat, went
for their guns, and when about to fire
heard the crack of a rifle, and the cougar
leaped high in the air and fell in the
brook dead. A bullet had passed through
the left ear into the neck and severed
the spinal chord. Miss Maud Droning
had done the deed from the second story

port ant discovery ever made in this sec
tion, if the Quantity is there and there
seems to be no doubt of it.
THET ARE IN THE FEN.
Stone and Hyde are Safely Conveyed to
Salem.
From tbe Portland Telegram.
Deputy United States Marshal Sinnot,
who took Frank Stone and E. J. Hyde
up to the penitentiary last evening, re
turned this morning.
"I never saw men act more quietly
than they did," said the marshal.
"When I went up to the jail to get them,
Stone said, 'Why, I supposed you
would bring a dozen men to take us.'
They made no resistance at all, nor did
they speak a word after we left the train
at Salem. . We rode out to the prison on
the electric car, and when I turned them
over to the-warden they were so broken
in spirit that neither of them could
pak."
The letter has created something of a
sensation at the hospital and specula
tion is rife, concerning it.

and there was an opportunity for the
young man to lead the girl away to a se

spoke words that meant everything to
the hearer of them, and after he had
spoken he bent down and kissed the

Their Taste Is Improving.
Said a well known furnisher, who
comes in direct competition with the
big stores patronized almost exclusively
by the fair sex: "I have considerable
dealing with women all the year round
in fact, I make a positive bid for their
custom. There are thousands of them

added little toilet articles to my stock
suitable equally for a gentleman's' dress

One of Seattle's leading physicians,
who brags that he is "a descendant of
one of the first families of Virginia, sah!"
tells a story of a dog's sagacity that is
rather astonishing, to say the least
"When I was a boy," said the doctor,
"my father used to keep a large number
of hogs. Sometimes he would have as
many as a hundred on the farm. We
were constantly annoyed by hogs be
longing to our neighbors getting in with
ours. The only way we could tell them
was bv a branding mark on their should
ers. But Fido's sagacity used to save us
a great deal of trouble. Every morning
the dog used to run in among the hogs.
"Tt is difficult to believe, but it is an
actual fact that that dog got so that he
Viitw the branding mark. He would go
im to every hog in turn, put his front
nawa on the porker's shoulder and look
at the mark. If it was ours he let the
hog go, but if it was any other mark he
would take the hog by the ear, lead it
to the rate, and then stand there bark
ing until some one came to let it out
"But Fido's sagacity did not end there.
TT soon got bo that he knew every mark,
so that when the gate was opened he
wonld lead the hog bv the ear a short
distance in the direction it ought to go,
and then stand there barking until it
was out of sight' Seattle

A gentleman who makes it a point al
ways to carry a few nickels in his pocket
for any apparently worthy mendicant
whom he meets during his day's wan
derings, started to cross City Hall park
from tie Park row side yesteraay aiter
noon, when he was approached by t
eeedy individual whose face was almost
blue from the cold.
"Excuse me. sir.' said the seedy one.
"I have been down here for two days
from Boston, and I haven't eaten oh,
thank you, air; you're a gentleman," his
smudgy fist closing over the nickel.
The gentleman turned after taking a
dozen steps and saw the seedy one drop
his handkerchief. Instantly another
beggar sidled up and also got a nickel.
Like the first he was profuse in his
thanlra. and emphasized them by drop
ping his handkerchief. Then came a third,
with the plausible taie or a long ana
wearv walk from Philadelphia.
"Sea here." said the gentleman, "Pve
iust been held up by two of your pals,
and I think you are a gang of profession

Number three took the advice, but
failed to drop hia handkerchief.-
had been intended originally for office
usee, as in tbe bedroom was a large safe
or vault of the most massive construc
tion. Instead of being used to hold
curities of priceless value, it was de
voted to the humbler duty of receiving
clothing. The heavy steel door, some
five inches thick, was supplied with
combination lock.
This was a novelty to the wife, who,
as soon as she had bestowed some of her
wraps in the safe, began a superficial
study of the mechanism. She could not,
of course, make out much about it, and
her lord and master offered, in his supe
rior wisdom, to explain it.
AN OMNISCIENT HUSBAND.
"All you have to do," he, said, "is to
think of a word, shut the door, then
spell the word on this dial, turn the
handle and then no one can open it who
doesn't know the combination. Now
step in for a moment; I will lock yon in
on the word 'open' and let you out again
in an instant."
The wife, who had not been marri -d
long enough to discover that her hus
band was not as clever as he thought,
stepped gayly into the vault
"It will be awfully dark and stuffy
here with the door closed," she ex
claimed.
"Don't be afraid, dear; Til let you out
again before you have time to think."
He turned the handle, worked the
combination to "open," worked it back
again, pulled at the door, but there was
no sign of its yielding. Frantically he
again ran the indicator over the letters
making the word, but still the door
would not budge. He shouted encour
agingly to his wife, but it was evident
that she could not hear him, for there
came no reply, though he thought there
was a faint sound of rapping.
"Was she already dead for want of
air!" was the first awful thought; but he
remembered that the vault was at least
six feet square, and even if perfectly air
tight must contain enough air to support
life for some little time. But for how
long? It was Sunday. It might be
hours before he could find a locksmith,
and even then it might take more hours
to open that dreadful door. His darling
might be dead! He would be her slayer!
Perhaps the law would call it murder!
AN UNFEELING RESCUER.
These thoughts flashed through his
mind in less time than it takes to read
them. After shouting some reassuring
words he rushed up to the landlady's
room on the floor above, and breathlessly
and almost unintelligibly told something
of the trouble.
"You're the second fool who's got into
a mess meddling with that safe," was
the old woman's comforting comment
"Never mind that!" he cried. "Can
vou get her out before she dies?"
"Yes, I can. I don't have things about
T don't understand, and if I did find
them I wouldn't meddle with them."
"Never mind that, my good woman;
onlv come and open the door."
It s easy to see you am i long mar
ried," was her grumbling comment, as
she waddled after him down tne sxaus.
She gave a few turns to the handle and
threw'the door open. The wife was dis
covered in a dead faint, but evidently
still alive.
A good many dollars spent in doctor s
fna and a present for the landlady to
some extent repaired the damages ot tne
husband's experiment, but nothing could
repair his eternally damaged reputation
for omniscience. In after days hia wife
was even occasionally known to bint
that he had tried to kill her, and that
a Via WAA ROTTV he hadn't succeeded ' and
been dnlv hanged.
A dav or two after toe occurrence no

door wouldn't open on the combination
IusedT
Because," she answered, "you must
release the lock from one combination
before you can set it on another. Yon
men don't know everything, though you
generally think you do." Marie Wain-

How Money Increases.
The natural accumulation of money is
a great deal more rapid than the average
person imagines. The legal rate of in
terest in New York state is 6 per cent
per annum. If $10,000 were put at 6
per cent, interest, and if the interest
were compounded semi-annually, the
accumulation at the end of twenty-five
years would be $43,800. Many of the
fortunes in America are the result of in
vestments in lands and enterprises. The
country is growing very rapidly, and
the increase in the value of land keeps
pace with the growth. New York
