THE NEGRO'S DESTINY. President Roosevelt's address to the students of Hampton Institute on Memorial day is pregnant with wise counsel and good cheer for the negro race in this country. His words apply to the race everywhere throughout the country, and if his advice is accepted in the proper spirit the advancement of the negro toward the goals of respectability and dignity will be notably hastened. Mr. Roosevelt went to the bottom of the so-called race problem when he said that the only real way to help the colored man is to let him help himself. As a matter of fact there is no race problem, so far as material advancement is concerned, in regard to the negro race, any more than there is in respect to any of the immigrants who come to this country. In nearly every instance they start at the bottom, both in a social and economic way, and their chief problem is how to acquire homes and achieve independence. The immigrants have left a state of industrial slavery almost as bad as the slavery of the negroes in ante-bellum days, and they have come to this country to find freedom and comfortable homes. The only road to the achievement of this ambition is patient industry and law-abiding, self-respecting citizenship. The same road is open to the negro, and he is not handicapped in any way except when he is petted and spoiled by sentimental theorists, or by his own lack of understanding of the conditions of the struggle and the prerequisites to success. Just as the only way for the negro to gain any social recognition is not to demand it, for such things never can be gained by compulsion, so the surest way, as the president points out, for him to achieve independence is to rely upon himself and by patient thrift and the upbuilding of his own character to become self-respecting and respectable. So far as all the real aims and objects of existence are concerned, the negro's destiny is in his own hands.—Ex change. The Son is always glad to publish the advice of our brilliant president, Mr. Roosevelt, to the negroes of this country. He has shown a manly and broad disposition toward securing to the negro race fair play. His advice is indeed most logical and valuable. Let us try to heed it. Philanthropist's Plan. Bolton Hall, philanthropist, lawyer, sociologist and tax reformer, prompted by the good results that have attended his experiments in Philadelphia and other cities, is preparing to open a farm for the poor near New York city on the same lines that have met with success elsewhere. By arrangement with the Astor estate he has secured control of a farm adjoining the Morris park race track and will use it for the purpose he has in view. Control of Africa. All parts of Africa, except Abyssinia, Morocco and Liberia, are controlled directly or indirectly by some Eupropean power. French Africa is about equal in area to half the United States. Prize Offered. Philadelphia is to have rapid transit. A prize will be given to any person who can offer a suggestion as to what Philadelphia will do with such a thing as rapid transit. - N. Y. Mail.

Winrow at the Second Baptist church Sunday evening Miss Ruth Johnson of Lexington, Mo., is visiting her cousin Miss Bell Jackson. We are proud to say that Mrs. Mattie Webb who has been quite ill at her father's, Mr. W. G. Tucker, is improving rapidly. The N. B. F. held a picnic at Hocker's Grove the Fourth. Mrs. Emma Saulsberry of Kansas City visited her parents Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. James Bush. Who can tell what is the matter with the schools of our city? Girls and boys that graduated last year and year before have to spend six years at Jefferson City before graduating. That speaks bad for our school. Parents open your eyes.

Almost five months ago there was a club organized by the young members and friends of the Vine Street Baptist church for the purpose of getting a library and reading room for the Sabbath school. As it was a literary club and they needed a name they could find no better person to call themselves after than our great negro poet "Paul Lawrence Dunbar." On Sunday afternoon July 1, Rev. J. W. Hurse pastor of St. Stevens Baptist, church delivered a noble sermon to the members of the club at Vine Street church, his sermon was briefly spoken and to the point after which a very liberal collection was taken up. We are glad to say the club is rapidly progressing in every respect, especially financially, as they have quite a little sum in the bank of the Fidelity Trust Co. Thanking the public for their assistance last Sunday afternoon we are sincerely yours. MISS CLARA E. WILSON, Pres. MR. WILLIE SHELTON, Secy. The seventh annual session of the National Negro Business League is to be held at Atlanta, Ga., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 29, 30 and 31. The Atlanta Negro Business League is well organized and is at work maturing plans for the proper entertainment of the hundreds of visitors who are expected. Reduced rates of one and one-third fare have already been secured from the Southeastern Passenger, the Trunk Line and the New England Passenger Association. Only one or two other lines to the far west are yet to concur in the arrangement. The program promises to be, as all of the League programs are, devoted to an intelligent discussion of those features of business development wherein the Negro people of the country are making progress. The Governor of the State of Georgia, the Mayor of the city of Atlanta and the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce joined in the invitation asking that this session of the League be held it Atlanta, and everything will be done to make the visit of all who attend pleasant and satisfactory. Information with regard to reduced rates may be secured from C. F. Adams, Transportation Agent, 934 S St., N. W., Washington, D.

CUR YOUNG PEOPLE THE DRAWING CLASS. I don't see why it is boys always get the worst of it. Their shoes gets into the biggest mud puddles, their hands gets the coldest snowbailin' and their elbows are always knockin' things over. Sometimes I wish I didn't have any elbows—and sometimes I guess other folks wishes so, too. The first time it was in the drawing-class, I kind of like that class—that is, leastwise, I used to like it when I could do it with transfer paper. That's easy. You put it over the picture and draw a outline. Then you take it off and black one side of it, and then you can draw it right into your book. But Miss Henrietta she don't let us do that, and she said it was cheating, and took away my transfer paper, and now I ain't so good a artist as I used to be, and I got pretty tired of it till we got into water-colors. That was some fun, anyway. We had little boxes with red, blue and vel- "DANIEL. WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOUR DESK?" lor paints in 'em and a dish to mix them on, and brushes and a glass er water to wet 'em up in; and we all made greeny-redery smutches on our paper and called 'em things. The first thing I painted was two reddishes, an' I used red on the reddishes an' blue and yaller on the leaves, and it you'll believe it, they came green, right on the paper! I wouldn't of believed it if Miss Heurietta had told me, 'thou tryin'. She said I painted reddishes pretty well. I took 'em home and showed 'em to mother, and she said: "My, how fine! Are they cherries?" And father said it looked like a Christmas tree on fire, and my big sister said: "It don't look like anything but a sploch of paint," and she wouldn't even guess.

Foley, in N. Y. Times. What Lightning Likes. A German statistician announces that marl has twice the attraction for lightning which chalk has, and that sand has nine times and clay 22 times as much. Moreover, 54 oak trees and 15 pine trees are struck for every tree that the lightning touches; so that, if one is caught out in a thunder storm, and must stand under a tree, it is better to stand under a beach tree which is rooted in chalky ground than anywhere else do; and that's a hard thing to tackle, because there's a lot of curly streaks to draw, and they're shiny, and she makes you leave a square white place on it where she said the window was deflected. But I couldn't see any window, but I had to put on the square place just the same. I was hurryin' to get to the paint part when that old elbow of mine just swung around and gave a whang, and away went my tumbler. It didn't break, but it made a noise, and Miss Henletta looked around. But I kept still, and she went on givin' lessons to the girls. The water was the worst part. It went all over. I grabbed my sponge and coped it off my drawing book, and pretty soon the sponge was full. So I borrowed one of Sammy Carter, and that got full. They are awful little, those sponges. But I'd got the floor and things wiped up, and I set the sponges careful in my desk, and just then the bell rang for school out, so I put my things away, and Miss Henrietta didn't catch me. Well, next morning, when I came in, there was a trickle under my desk, and Miss Henrietta was looking at it, and I when she saw me she said: "Daniel, what is the matter with your desk?" And I looked and said: "I guess the sponges is leaking, ma'am." And she said, rern: "What sponges?" And so I had to tell her, and we looked, and I'd put my drawing book on top of the four sponges, and it was all soaked up, and the water had run onto my joggery and nature book, and they was sights. Miss Henrietta made me take all four of them sponges and go and see the principal with 'em. And so I had to, and I was awful scared when I told him. And he said he hoped I wouldn't do it again, and I said I hoped not, too. And he talked to me about being careful and things, till I bet he never was a boy himself. And when I was going away, I said: "Mr. Polk, I guess this will be a warning to me.' 'And he coughed behin his sleve, and said he thought so, too. And I had to squeeze out all them sponges and give 'em back before the hull school. If I can I'm going to get some of that elbow grease mother tells father to use sometimes, and I'm going to rub it on my elbows, so when the hit things they will slide past and not knock 'em off and get me into trouble.—Bostor Globe.

What One Missionary Has to Say of the Work Being Done at Kalgan. Kalgan, a city 140 miles northwest of Peking, next to the great wall, and opening into Mongolia, is the headquarters of a mission of the American board. One of the missionaries writes: "Our parish in which no other missionary society is working, is as large and nearly as populous as Massachusetts." Besides 21 cities and market towns, there are 1,800 villages of a hundred or more families each, and numberless small hamlets. The people are friendly as individuals, but as a whole bitterly opposed to anything like foreign innovations. We have access to all the officials, who call to see us, and treat us as well as a regard for their reputations will permit. This field has been evangelized by the American board 40 years. The visible result is 500 communicants, half of whom have gone to heaven, 30 of them martyred in 1900. Kalgan has four mosques. The followers of Mohammed are the most friendly, recognizing us as monotheists like themselves, and acknowledging themselves as foreigners like us, because descended from Arab soldiers who came to China about nine centuries ago. They are keen and entertaining in trade. The Menchus are the drones here, barely supported by the government, poor and lazy. As a whole they regard foreigners with disdain and hatred. Mongols ride about in dirty red or yellow gowns, fingering beads and muttering prayers, devout Buddhists, but superstitious and ignorant." THE DANISH-HALLE MISSION icentenary of the Establishment of This Enterprise Celebrated at Copenhagen. On November 29, 1905, two centuries had passed since Bartholomew Ziegenbulg and Henrik Plutschan left Copenhagen as the first Protestant missionaries to far-away India, where they landed after a long sea journey on July 9, 1706, and immediately entered upon the preaching of the gospel in Tranquebar. The Danish-Halle mission ceased to exist in 1847, yet the bicentenary was celebrated in a worthy manner by the Danish Missionary society in Copenhagen on November 29 and 30, 1905. Delegates of missionary societies and friends of foreign missions gathered from all parts of Denmark, while many European missionary societies sent special representatives. The opening services were held in the celebrated "Frauenkirche." The bishop of Sweden preached the sermon, and the late king of Denmark, accompanied by other members of the royal family, showed his interest in the celebration by his presence. All the foreign delegates made addresses at the succeeding meetings, and the whole celebration was most interesting and inspiring. It was closed with a so-called sending-out-service in which two ordained missionaries and three lady workers were sollenly set apart for the service of the Lord in the field of the Danish Missionary society in India. Brighter Outlook for the Doshisha. Brightest Outdoor for the Boehmian The thirtieth anniversary of the founding of the Doshisha college, at Kyoto, Japan, was celebrated under conditions which promise to make it the beginning of a new era. Certain misunderstandings which had separated the alumni into factions have been cleared away and on their nomination five new members have been added to the board of trustees. All parties among the alumni are thus united in cordial support of the school under the present administration, which is heartily indorsed by the mission. Increased financial support is assured for all departments and mutual relations are established between the divinity department and the Kumlai churches, which will be a great advantage to both. German Missions. Dr. Grundemann, the celebrated German author, publishes figures concerning German missions at the close of the year 1904: 602 stations w. a. 2,834 out stations; 1,017 European missionaries (including 12 medical missionaries and 145 laymen); 127 European "sisters;" 175 ordained native missionaries; 4,869 native laymen (about 1,90 teachers); 2,139 schools; 119,746 scholars (31,564 girls); baptisms in 194, 20,312 heathen; 18,146 children of Christian parents; 48,086 inquirers; 468,577 baptized natives; 196,937 communicants. Income, 1904, $1,544,615; expenses $1,802,500; deficit, $257,887. A New Way of Giving to Missions ACTUAL BRITISH "VICERCY" OF EGYPT Lord Cromer's official title is simply "His Brittanic Majesty's Agent and Consul General," but in reality the position as filled by Lord Cromer is of no ordinary importance. At one time Great Britain did not appreciate this agent's intimate knowledge of affairs in Egypt and conduct thereof, and withdrew him for awhile from this field. But disaster followed, the capable representative was requested to return to Cairo. It was back in 1877 Evelyn Baring (now Lord Cromer), member of the famous Baring family, the great London bankers, accompanied the international commission sent to study the problem of the public debt of Egypt, Baring, then a man of 36, labored hard to unravel the intricacies of Egyptian finance; and to such purpose that the powers demanded the deposition of Khedive Ismail. It was finally left to England and France to adjust matters, and Baring was chosen as the English controller general. Presently his French colleague made complaint that fairs too much, and the Government transferred of finance. The removal of Baring proved a grave much—loss of many lives and great expenditure in Baring was recalled in 1883, became agent and con-23 years has served at Cairo. repeat the words: "Velvet as long as he can; "KING'S GREYHOUNDS" Baring was dominating affairs too much, and the Government transferred him to India as minister of finance. The removal of Baring proved a grave mistake, cost Great Britain much—loss of many lives and great expenditure in the Arab Pasha revolt. Baring was recalled in 1883, became agent and consul general in Egypt; for 23 years has served at Cairo. Of Lord Cromer they repeat the words: "Velvet as long as he can; steel as soon as he must." ONE OF THE "KING'S GREYHOUNDS" The king of England has a corps of special messengers that swiftly and silently journey at his bidding, start at a moments' notice to far parts of the earth. These messengers are called "the king's greyhounds" and wear as symbol of office a little golden greyhound at full speed. For 35 years Capt. Wynter has been a messenger in the service of English sovereign, been queen's messenger and king's messenger. The long service is pleasantly described in a book, "On the Queen's Errands."—a book that the "Greyhound" is diplomat enough to have reveal no secrets of state. Two absolute requirements are made of the special messenger; that he convey his message, that he reveal no confidences. The "Greyhound" has as badge of his peculiar service not only golden fleet greyhounds but also a paper stamped by the secretary of state for foreign affairs and countersigned by the sovereign. The paper commands British subjects to further the messenger on his way, warns against putting obstacles in his progress. The messenger may bear a royal gift; he may bear a letter of immense international importance. royal gift; he may bear a letter of immense inter- must be a gentleman of rank. As a rule he is treat- ers diplomatique, received by British statesmen considerable distinction. However, the story is told treated with a king's "Greyhound" through his passenger personal audience or the consideration al- TER AND THE REGICIDES A king's messenger must be a gentleman of rank. As a rule he is treated as a member of the corps diplomatique, received by British statesmen abroad as a person of considerable distinction. However, the story is told that Lord Salisbury once treated with a king's "Greyhound" through his butler, did not give the messenger personal audience or the consideration almost universally bestowed. KING PETER AND THE REGICIDES Servia is in an intolerable position, King Peter in an intolerable position, with the murderers of Alexander and Draga still in office. Until the regicides are got rid of, it would seem Servia and Servia's ruler would remain non grata. Report says that King Peter otherwise has cause for distress, is in constant expectation of aggressive movement on the part of the regicide conspirators. Fearful that they will be removed, the regicides are plotting Peter's downfall and his supplanting by Crown Prince George, supposed to be in full sympathy with the conspirators. Without question, unhappy rests the head that wears the crown of Servia. Before his occupancy of the throne of Servia Peter for many years was known as "pretender," though a quiet one. Peter's grandfather, known as Black George, led the Servians in their struggle for independence against the Turks, and was recognized by the sultan as prince of Servia, Peter's father, in 1848, was elected prince of sed deposed and left the country with his son.

HI-TUCKER OF THE SALVATION ARMY Before his occupancy of the throne of Servia Peter for many years was known as "pretender," though a quiet one. Peter's grandfather, known as Black George, led the Servians in their struggle for independence against the Turks, and was killed in an attack as an example of Servia, Peter's father, in 1848. We also Servia, but later was declared deposed and left the country with his son. The murdered Alexander belonged to the rival house of Obrenovitch. Young Peter studied awhile in Hungary, made frequent visits to Russia, was graduate from a French military school and became an officer in the French army. In the Franco-Prussian war he served with distinction. For a period afterward he led a life of idleness and dissipation in Paris; and then, moved by the troubles in the Balkans, aided in the rising in Herzegovnia which resulted in the Russo-Turkish war in 18.5-6 and brought complete independence to Servia. In 1883 Peter married the eldest daughter of the prince of Mentenegro, which marriage gained for him connection with the courts of Russia and Italy. COMMANDER BOOTH-TUCKER OF THE SALVATION ARMY COMMANDER BOOTH-TUCKER OF THE SALVATION ARMY Word has been received of the engagement of Commander Booth-Tucker to Col. Emma Reid, director of the Salvation Army forces in Ireland. Commander Booth-Tucker is very well known in this country, for several years was chief of the Army in the United States. It was in 1891 that Mr. Tucker married a daughter of Gen. Booth and added the name of Booth to his own. The work of Mr. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker in this country was a work of marked success, among the most noteworthy of their achievements the establishment of farm colonies where people from crowded city districts might labor and live amid healthful surroundings. In 1903 Mrs. Booth-Tucker was killed in a railroad accident, and shortly afterward the bereaved husband was transferred to another field. Mr. Tucker joined the Salvation Army about 25 years ago, converted while in India, in which country he held an important post in the civil service of the British government. The year fol- uenced the Army. lowing his conversion he inaugurated the Army work in India. Dra Latour Tucker was born in India, is now 53 long the Indian civil service examination and a sea- man was appointed to an official position in the Pun- tate his entire time to the work of the Salvation ization in India until 1891, which year he went to the international work. In the responsibilities as a the United States, Booth-Tucker made a reputa- executive ability and great energy. WHYTE OF MARYLAND Frederick St. George Da Latour Tucker was born in India, is now 53 years of age. After passing the Indian civil service examination and a season of study in London, he was appointed to an official position in the Punjab. He resigned to devote his entire time to the work of the Salvation Army, conducted the organization in India until 1891, which year he went to London as secretary for the international work. In the responsibilities as commander of the army in the United States, Booth-Tucker made a reputation as a man of unusual executive ability and great energy. SENATOR WHYTE OF MARYLAND SENATOR WHYTE OF MARYLAND It must cheer the heart of many a discouraged old man—discouraged by all the unseemly and careless talk about "Oslerizing"—to read of a man who enters the senate at the age of 82, who is promptly at his place at the opening of each session and follows alertly the business in progress; and who finds time besides for considerable law practice. All this is what is being done by Senator Pinckney Whyte, of Maryland, appointed to succeed the late Senator Gorman. It is almost 40 years since Mr. Whyte first entered the senate, at the time of his retirement little dreaming of a return at the advanced age more than four-score years.

As Means of Bringing Sinners to Repentance, Minister Saw They Were What He Needed. In a rural town in Michigan lived a family named Beaver, noted for their hardship in all manner of naughtiness.

EDUCATIONAL NOTES An association has been formed for the purpose of supplying, under certain conditions, spectacles to children in London elementary schools. The education committee of the London county council has been revising the list of prize books given to pupils. Among the books struck out as "not quite suitable for children to read" are "Vanity Fair," "Dombey and Son," "Pendennis" and "Great Expectations." The recent convention of learned men at Berlin has advised the government to establish two kinds of lycums for girls, one of eight years, corresponding to a high school in this country, and another with a supplementary course of four years, preparatory to the university. Joseph C. Graveur has been schoolmaster in the Tombs prison, New York city, for seven years. His pupils are the young men and boys awaiting trial for various offenses. Mr. Graveur has exerted an influence for good upon thousands of boys. There is not sucer another school in the world. The schoolmaster lets the boys ask him whatever they want to know. There is no set form of study. One question leads to another, and the Tombs school takes more the form of a general information bureau than anything else. CLEVER DOCTOR. Cured a 20 Years' Trouble Without Any Medicine. A wise Indiana physician cured 20 years' stomach disease without any medicine as his patient tells: "I had stomach trouble for 20 years, tried allopathic medicines, patent medicines and all the simple remedies suggested by my friends, but grew worse all the time. "Finally a doctor who is the most prominent physician in this part of the state told me medicine would do me no good, only irritating my stomach and making it worse—that I must look to diet and quit drinking coffee. "I cried out in alarm, 'Quit drinking coffee!' why, 'What will I drink?' "Try Postum,' said the doctor, 'I drink it and you will like it when it is made according to directions, with cream, for it is delicious and has none of the bad effects coffee has.' "Well, that was two years ago, and I am still drinking Postum. My stomach is right again and I know doctor hit the nail on the head when he decided coffee was the cause of all my trouble. I only wish I had quit it years ago and drank Postum in its place." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Never too late to mend. Ten days trial of Postum in place of coffee works wonders.

A not-too-elderly spinster of our acquaintance, whose sole contribution to literature had been an impression- istic dress pattern in Harper's Ba: zav, received the following request from the editor of the Tiptop Maga- gine: | “Won't you let us see some ef your work. We especially desire at pres ent bright, cheerful and amusing short stories of from 1,500 to 3,000 words, and pay generously for them, We trust you will keep us in mind when next you complete @ manu Tera" | Our spinster acquaintance had never essayed short story writing, but 89 warm and personal an invitation would inspire anybody to a trial. She spent @ month or more constructing a bright, cheerful and amusing tale of 2,987 words (counting compounds as ene word), which she dispatched in a flutter to the Tiptop Magazine. In the course of inhuman events the manuscript came back, accompa- nied by a printed slip expressing stereotyped regrets. The spinster au- thor was surprised—not because her story was not accepted (she was @ modest soul), but because @ manu- script so warmly and personally so- Heited had been so coldly and imper- sonally returned. Thousands of authors have had a like experience, and have marveled thereat. It is one of the mysteries of literature, which we have promised to unravel. This is the explanation: In order to obtain a steady supply of the bright, cheerful, and amusing, and strong, virile, and dramatic sto- ries which they present monthly, the editors of the magazines find it neces- sary to circularize the country, so to speak. Clipping bureaus supply the names of people who write, and to each of these the office boy dis- patches a cordial “Won't you send ua something’? letter. Unfortunately (for the feelings of the author) the stories which arrive in response to a warm and personal solicitation are not passed upon by the office boy, but by the editor in his sanctum, who disdains to be aware of just who those ladies and gentle- men are to whom the office boy has dispatched his touching missive, and of course the editor wouldn't abate one jot of his cold formality to send- ers of “unsolicited manuscripts.” Suggestion to Publishers: Why not let the office boy return the manu- scripts with an elegant “follow-up let- ter"? Editors should be quite up to date, as well as business men who ad- vertise, “We shall spend the summer in France,” said a friend the other day. “Where? I cannot say as yet. What we should like would be to combine the pastoral life of the French prov- inces with the gayety of Paris.” The which reminds us of one of the Neo-Pagan school. We have a mental picture of Bliss Carman in a dress suit and opera hat, playing 4 pianola in a Grecian dell, with Daphne standing by to fan the mosquitoes away. We seem to be in for an epidemic of Indian plays. Some are good and more are bad, but all are serious, For the American Indian is as funny as the earache, What with “Huckleberry Finn” and “Tom Sawyer” on the “restricted list,” Mark Twain is having the time of his life laughing at himself. BERT LESTON TAYLOR, Everything in Chingtechen Belongs to the Porcelain and Earthen- ware Industry. For at least 900 years the town Chingtechen, in China, has been de- voted to the making of pottery, Wal- ter Clennell, a British consul, describes the place. He says that everything i Chingtechen belongs to the porcelain and earthenware industry. ‘The houses are for the most part bullt of fragments of fire-clay that were at ono time part either of oid kilns or of the fire-clay covers in which the porcelain is stacked during firing. The river bank is for miles covered with a deep stratum of broken chinaware and chips of fire clay and the greater part of the town and several square miles of the surrounding country are built over or composed of a similar deposit. Chingtechen 1s unlike anything else in China, The forms, the color, tne materials used in the buildings, the at- "mosphere are reminiscent of the poor- er parts of a civilized Industrial cen ‘ter. There are 104 large pottery kilns in town, The greater part are in uso ‘only for a short season In the summer, During this busy season the popula- tion of Chingtechen rises to about 400,000 sonis, but of this total nearly half are laborers drawn from a wide area of country, who come for the sea- son, live In rows of barrack-like sheds, and do not bring their families with them. Visitors to Chingtechen pass along street after street, where every shop is ‘occupied by men, women and children all engaged in the designing, motding, ‘painting or distributing of pottery. Potters’ sheds, where the clay {s mixed ‘and molded on the wheel, are innumer- able. The river bank 1s crowded for ‘three miles by junks either landing mater and fuel or shipping the tins ished product. ‘Twas on a Friday, In an ordinary restaurant a walter was surprised at being asked with Ireland's inimitable smile for div fied whale.” “Is it filleted shark that ye have, thin?” pursued the Irish: man, on being refused this delicacy, Again recelving a reply in the nega: tive, he tried once more. “Thin ye can bring me some roasted porpoise,” he said. The waiter showed signs of becoming restive, and Paddy sank back in his seat and heaved a sigh of contentment. “I'll take some roast beef and vegetable,” he said, cheerful- ly, “and sure ye'll not be for saying that I didn't ask ye for fish” © CRRERS oF ms RUSSIAN ORION UE _— | Te SN \ NG eg lf i) ISS HE apo tline & (ea Eh | IG ei “AS econ fists Wj) < MAY mn | a?” As ROX ee Ht © ST Gar Fe OW Wins, hea? / ‘<a Wa 7 44 i .

By the amnesty of October 30, 1905, many Russian political prisoners ‘emerged once more into the light of day from the gloomy fortresses where they had been confined, in some cases, for years, Among these was one Mar- tha Grusenberg, who had been a cap- tive in the fortress of Schlusselburg, near Lake Ladogor, for over 12 years, A Jewess by faith, she had unfortu- nately dabbled in nihilism, and was crushed by the juggernaut of Russian autocracy. Some 20 of the leaders of the unsuccessful revolt In Moscow were lately sent to the Schlusselburg, awalt- ing them a life of hardship and suffer- ings, Prior to 1889 {t appears the condl- tions prevailing in the fortress were comparatively lumane, but in that year a new era of severity was initiat- ed. Three important concessions were withdrawn from the prisoners. They were forbidden to read any books save religious ones, they were forced to take their restricted exercise daily alone, and they were not allowed the use of artificial Hight on the plea of intended immediate installation of electric light. All candles were removed from the cells and what that means may bo {magined when it 1s remembered that in mid-winter darkness sets In in Russia as early as three o'clock in the afternoon, Sriconers Beldom Live Lone, ‘The bad food served out to the pris- oners is one reason why 0 few of those sentenced to long terms of im- prisonment live to complete their sen- fences. At one time the staple diet was a sour, almost nauseous soup, cailed “stschi.” Tt was good enough for the health, and when, under a pre- tended attempt to improve the diet, its use was discontinued and other less wholesome food substituted seurvy be- came a regular visitor to the prison, the result of which Is that the inside of the mouth becomes torn and lacer- ated and the teeth begin to fall ont In many cass prisoners have lost ail of thetr tecth, The prolonged darkness 1s a fre- quent cause of mania, but those pris- oners who retain their reason become torpid, apathetic, and Insensible to physical pain, But the sense of hear: ing, under these conditions, becomes extraordinarily acute, Many cells have plastered walls, so that com: municating by tapping on them be- ‘comes easy, but even those prisoners, the walls of whose cells are bare stones, become experts at interpreting the taps heard on the locks of the doors and converse with each other all day. — Cell Occupied by Bakunin, While wardens are venal enough to accept bribes from friends of prison ers to allow their charges to break minor regulations, such, for instance, as receiving letters from the world outside, they were not to be Induced to connive at a captive's escape. It was too dangerous to them, as their comp¥city instantly would have been suspected and they would rn the risk of having themselves to take the run away’s place. The forced inactivity of the mind 1s insupportable. In the Schlusselburg fortress, the Dresden dictator, Michael Bakunin, the r.volutionist of 1848, was once con- fined. Crar Nicholas, delighted at the importance of the victim, ordered him fto receive better treatment than the other captives, and consequently. the cell he inhabited was larger then the ordinary ones, and to this day the whole area ¢* its whitewashed walls 4s covered with Bakuntn’s calculations to write down some of which he must have stood on his bed, since they are close under the celling, come nine feet Above the floor. It is unusual for prisoners to chanice their cells, so that the one tiny room is thelr home throughout their stay usu- ally prolonged, in Schlusselburg. The ‘result is that prisoners, by the tap- ping process, soon get to learn the de- tails of the lives of the prisoners on either side of them. A prisoner called Linbomiroff, who had blown off his own arm while ex- perimenting with an infernal machine, was a workingman and entirely with- out means or influence, and the ward- ens made no secret of their dislike of him and treated him with the greatest cruelty, They would deprive him of food, or beat and kick him for failing to have his cell In order within the regulation time, a thing which for him in his one-armed condition, well nigh was {mpossible. ‘This man finally Jost his reason, and, with the ingenuity of a madman, planned a terrible vengeance. He made a rope by twisting up strips of his sheets and smeared {t witlr dust and dirt so as to make It Invisible in the darkness. This rope he tied across the doorway of his cell some inches above the ground. When the warden who was his special enemy appeared next day, Linbomirof! made a gesture as if to strike him, ‘The warden rushed at him, tripped over the rope, and, receiving a tre -mendous blow from the prisoner, fell senseless. The wretched madman set on him, unconscious as he was, dug his nails into the warden’s eyes, cut off his fingers, and after setting his hair alight, flung him into the corridor, While, as a general rule, six months In the prison saps a man’s strength to such an extent that he is Incapable of any resistance, this Is not always the case, On one occasion a man who had been {imprisoned for seven years, and always had been regarded as of a peaceful disposition, in a sud den fit of frenzy, fell npon a warden wrested away his rifle, and stabbed him in his neck, Another warden Instantly fired at the prisoner and wounded him in the shoulder. However, he dodged round the yard, fired the cartridges which were in the magazine of the rifle and Killed two wardens, Re then dropped to the ground apparently mortally in- Jured, but on the wardens — rushing up to secure him, he raised himself and killed a third of his antagonists with the butt of the rifle before he was overpowered. Net being consid ered insane he was hanged. In 1897 a revolutionist named Kniett was brought to Schlusselburg.

Mental and Physical Wrecks. The scenes after the release of the prisoners defy all description. What came forth from those horrible holes were not men—but animals; mind and soul were gone, and only — the horrible remnants of the human bod- fes, clawed, hairy, unspeakably foul, with eyes that revealed horribly the cunning born of fighting for bits of food, the madness of starvation, abuse and solitude, Graft by the keepers perhaps was more responsible for the — starvation and wretchedness of the — prisoners than the inhumanity of the raters. ‘The guards sold the food sent to the prisoners, and supplied them with refuse, decayed meats and wormy beans, Madness resulting from {-nourish- ment and solitary confinement tn damp, Sunless cells killed almost as many as did disease, ‘The majority of the long term prisoners released were insane-—and even more were coughing away their Hyves with con sumption.

IN A MEXICAN GARDEN By RUTH RAEBURN (Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.) The bright sunshine streaming into her bedroom by the open French window wakened Cecilia, or, as her father loved to call her in the graceful language of his adopted country, "my pretty one." Evidently her thoughts were pleasant, for she got up with a smile on her lips and stood for a few moments looking out on the view before beginning to dress. It was just six o'clock and the mist still hung in the valley, and already the garden was a blaze of light. The scent of the roses, the orange and bernon blossom, the moist earth and the myriad growing things, filled the air with a delicious fragrance. One breathed life and happiness on such a morning, and love for all that lives in this glorious, beautiful world. Besides, was not her old friend and playyellow, Philip King, coming home after being away for seven years in the States, learning to be a doctor? Cecilia was an only child. Her mother died when the poor little mite was only three days old, and her father never married again, but gave his small daughter into the keeping of a kind-hearted Mexican woman, who had from that moment spolled her charge with the utmost fidelity, and now, at the age of 19 years, the tall, handsome girl was still old Concha's favorite The two families were near neighbors, and had been fast friends from the beginning, so it was no wonder that she and Phillip should be constantly together, running about and playing at hide and seek in the woods round the ranch, and when they were older cantering over the pasture lands on their sure-footed Mexican ponies—and no wonder either, as time went on, that the folks should nod their heads and smile knowingly, as they watched the pair, a pretty little girl of 12 and a handsome lad of 15. In their imagination these good people already heard the bells ring for the betrothal. Not much time was wasted over the toilet this morning. There was a great deal to be done before eight o'clock breakfast. First, the asparagus had to be cut, while the sun was still low in the sky, for later on when he had attained his full strength it was insufferably hot in the garden, and only the dark-skinned natives might work there with impunity. Then she would pick some ripe, juicy peaches for dessert. Her father loved asparagus and peaches, and so did Philip, if her memory did not deceive her—but seven years is a long time and tastes may change. "Who knows if he is still fond of peaches?" and—she looked in the glass and smiled at her own reflection—"I think I can answer for peaches." Her thoughts ran on questioning and replying to themselves, "but as to asparagus and, and—other things—who knows?" On a chair by her bedside Guadalupe her maid, had placed a clean mustin trock, sturched and white as snow. She fingered it lovingly, for she was going to put it on after her work was done. In the meantime a blue cotton more than ready for the washtub would do very well, and, having reached this stage in her proceedings, she did not stop to twist up her hair, but merely braiding it in two thick plaits, Mexican fashion, seized her sombreo and ran downstairs. At the kitchen door Concha was waiting with a basket and long knife with teeth like a saw at one end; this was used to cut the asparagus. The dew drops on the feathery branches of the asparagus vines sparkled like diamonds in the sunshine and fell on her in showers as she brushed them aside to look for the white heads appearing above ground at their roots. By the time she had cut sufficient for a generous dish an hour had already gone by and she was very warm and decidedly muddy—but what did that matter? There was soap and water in the house, and a pretty clean white dress in her room waiting to be put on. The peaches could be picked in a few minutes, and then her morning's work would be done. How beautiful it was that morning! From her perch among the peaches she gazed fascinated on the scene before her. Orizaba, glory of mountains, with its snow-capped peak, seemed but a step from the garden, but in reality one would have to travel more than 40 miles to reach the foot of it. On all sides were the hills as far as the eye could see, and right in front, only about a mile away, nestled the little town with its whitewashed houses and brown tiled roofs, half buried in trees Absorbed in the view she did not see a horseman who was maneuvering his way in and out the winding pathway which led to her father's ranch, and so it happened that Philip King was almost upon her before she was aware of it. When she did at last catch sight of him it was too late to fly to the house. The color leaped to her face in a crimson flood, and her knees trembled beneath her, with agitation, disappointment at the sudden collapse of all her plans and humiliation at the miserable figure she cut. She clutched her hair, which had long since freed itself from the plains, and nervously, with shaking fingers, tried to twist it up and hide it inside her sombrero, but she had no hairpins, so it only fell down again in even greater disorder than before. The young man had by this time reached the garden, and there was only the rose bush between them—then for the first time he saw her, and had he been a wise young man he would have become suddenly blind, discovered something of great interest in another direction and quickly walked away. As it was he was not wise and had little experience in the ways of women and besides was very glad indeen to see his little playmate again, so he started forward with both hands out-stretched to greet her. "Cedilia," he cried, expecting she would run to him as in days gone by, but she drew back and gave him her hand formally with stiff words of welcome which sounded unreal on her lips. After they had both made a few commonplace remarks, a long and uncomfortable science followed. The key to the situation appeared to be missing, and Philip at any rate was at a loss to understand what was the matter. This was indeed Cecilia, looking too much the same as on the day he left, only a great deal taller, and yet there was a difference, and a very great one. He couldn't disguise from himself that he was bitterly disap- L. B. B. SHE GOT UP WITH A SMILE. pointed, it was so unlike what he had expected and pictured to himself. Yet he hardly knew after all what he had expected. He had no claim on her, not even any relation, and seven years is a long time—a girl makes other friends. She would not meet his look as in the old days, but kept her eyes bent on the ground. He couldn't remember just what color they were, and wondered how it was that such an important point had never interested him before. He could see, indeed, that the eyes were fringed with long, dark lashes, and the outline of the face, which was so carefully turned from him, was perfect; her figure was tall and straight, her head erect and shaped crowned with masses of dark curling hair, which fell below her waist. She was decidedly the most beautiful girl he had ever seen—and the moment he realized this fact, a perfect fury of jealousy took possession of him. He understood everything now—it was clear as daylight—Cecilia had a lover and did not want his friendship any more! At last the girl broke the silence, "My father will be so pleased to see you," she said, "but if you will excuse me now I will just finish cutting some roses and be with you presently." She began to cut roses feverishly, not seeing or caring where she stepped, till the thorny branches laid hold of her long loose hair and held her fast, almost as though they knew what they were about, and determined to make her prisoner. In her struggles she stepped at las, on a loose mound of earth which gave way suddenly beneath her, and in a moment myriads of tiny brown insects, each carrying a precious egg almost as large as itself, were swarming about her feet and ankles. She had stumbled into an anst's nest! The young man was just disappearing into the house, but at the first cry he turned and with two or three bounds, which would have done credit to an active kangaroo, was by her side and had taken in the situation. It is to his everlasting credit that he did not laugh, but treated the affair with the seriousness it deserved. Fortunately he carried his "machete" with him, that useful if rather dangerous knife without which a Mexican seldom rides abroad—and with a few strokes of the sharp blade he freed the girl from the prickly branches, when she fled hastily into the middle of the path and commenced to stamp and shake her skirts vigorously long after every insect had taken himself off in a greater fright than her own. Then the branches which still clung to her hair had to be disentangled, on, so gently! Such glorious hair, too, the touch of it thrilled him. Then she looked up and their eyes met, and suddenly the disappointment and misery which had seemed so real a few minutes ago all melted away and they knew. "Oh, Phil, I am so thankful you came," was all she said, but she gave a happy little laugh and tried to hide from his gaze by shaking her mane about her blushing face, but he took her hand and drew her to him. "Do you know I have had such a terrible fright," he said. "I thought—oh, you can't think how wretched it made me—that some one had stolen you from me; but it isn't true, Cecilia, tell me it isn't true." "And I thought," she answered, evading his question, "that the girls in New York—" "There are no girls in New York," the young man gravely interrupted her. "There is only one girl in the whole world, and she is right here—in my arms!" A neat appearance counts for a great deal. Don't let a dirty collar lose you a good stroke of business. WOMAN'S MAGAZINE OF AID TO HOSTESS STYLES AT NEWPORT. SUGGESTIONS FOR NOVEL AND PLEASING ENTERTAINMENTS. At a "Leather Wedding" Dinner— Taking Guests on Far Traveis— An Easy Guessing Contest for Women Folk. The Leather Wedding The "leather" wedding brings the fourth anniversary, and a dinner party is an enjoyable way to celebrate. Six or eight well chosen guests are a good number, and the table may be made most attractive. Use one of those pretty green or brown skins in place of a cloth, with plate dots to match. The centerpiece can be a low earthenware par filled with flowers. For the place cards use squares of leather with the letters done in gold. Another very appropriate centerpiece would be three kid slippers, heels together, with the toes pointed out, nuded with flowers. If expense does not have to be considered, card cases for all, with the name stamped on the inside, would make exquisite place cards. From the chandelier over the table suspend four wedding bells. After the repast each guest must take a turn with the "good luck" slipper; it must be an old one, or the charm will not work. Twirl it three times around the heel from left to right, make a wish, and then throw it on the floor behind the back. If it falls with the toe point toward you, the wish will come true; if the heel, there is no hope of fulfillment; if it lands sideways— There's a good time coming, Wait a little longer. A Novel Travel Party This description of a "travel" party may assist someone to plan for an entertainment on similar lines. It is adaptable to the needs of club and church society affairs, and a clever hostess or committee will doubtless add many more places to those given here. Send out the invitations for a rapid trip around the world—a personally conducted party, to start on a given day and hour. Then prepare as many little red-bound booklets as there will be guests; mark them "Baedeker's Guide," and on the first inside page have as many numbers as there are objects to represent the cities and countries. Scatter promiscuously through the rooms these objects; a bunch of cigars Dresses Are Either Very Long or Very Short — Birthstone May Give Guide to Color Scheme. It is a great fad with Newport women this summer to dress in smart suits, which are so neat that they look tailor-made. They combine the dressy properties of a lingerie costume with the finished touches of the tailor-made. The debutante has arrived at Newport, and more of her are coming every day. There are to be no less than three very fashionable debuts this July, and all society is on the quil vive awaring them. The debut of to-day, by the way, is quite a different matter from the old-fashioned affair. The girl this summer takes her stand by the side of her mother and both are most elaborately gowned. The debutante wears the jewels that are her birthstones. She wears pearls, sapphires or diamonds, or any other stone to whose superstition she clings. Handwork Is Back in General Esteem and Even the Simplest Sort May Be Effective. This is a simple and effective design to work on table-covers, side-board cloth, Duchess table covers, mats, etc. The material used for working must be selected to accord with the foundation that is to be ornamented. These designs, though so simple, are in niga favor, a part of the reaction against machine-made elaboration that has brought hand-work back into feminine esteem. Plain yellow vaseline makes the eyebrows and lashes grow and darkens them, too. to represent Havana, a cup and saucer for China, Manila paper for the principle city of the Philippines, a bowl of drippings for Greece, a Noah's ark for Newark, a cake of Castle soap for Castle, a cork for that town in the Emerald Isle, a leghorn hat to indicate the town of that name in Italy, a string of corals for Naples, and some macaroni for Italy; Brazil nuts denote that country, a bottle of cologne for the city of the same name, an orange or a toy alligator for Florida, a picture of the pepper tree or a bit of red wood for California, tulips or wooden shoes for Holland, pieces or Deft, Sevres and Dresden china to represent those cities, a toy bicycle or a picture for Wheeling, a red letter "C" for the sea of that name, and so on. There is almost no limit to the places that may be portrayed in this manner. When the time for the trip has passed as many awards may be given as the hostess deems best, or one will be sufficient. There are all sorts of things suitable for these souvenirs. Toy trains, steamboats, trunks of all sizes, suit-cases and bags. Then allow 20 minutes for refreshments, which should be served in true lunch counter style; tall dishes of fruit, sandwiches, pie, doughnuts, coffee, etc. A Guessing Contest. This is a clever contest in which our feminine readers should shine, as the answers are all names of dress materials. It was used by a southern hostess, and she kindly passes it on for the benefit of others. A long-haired animal of Peru?—Alpaca. A loud noise?—Crash. A symbol of worldly sacrifice?—Nun's veiling. A material used by pointers?—Canvas. An amphibious creature?—Duck. Hills in Scotland?—Cheviot. A rising billow?—Storm serge. The grassy sward?—Lawn. A dwelling and wove?—Home spun. A spotted mountaineer?—Dotted swiss. To spice and sweeten wine?—Mull. A much discussed waterway?—Panama. A musical instrument and a Scotch river?—Organdy. A bureau cover or dotted swiss, a handkerchief, laundry bag, in fact most any dainty bit of needle work would make a suitable prize. MADAME MERHL The birthstone, if she be a girl of fads, furnishes the clew to her costume, and her gown is white, blue, pink or any other color to match her stones. This is just a fad. The debutante wears a gown the color of her birthstone. Perhaps if she be a little on the timid order she prefers to dress in white, and in that case the girdle is colored and the tone is generally a turquoise blue or an emerald green, or yet a topaz yellow. She still clings to the sentiment of her birthstone, and her girdle, hair ornaments, shoes and stockings, and even her gloves and underwear, are all keyed to this particular color. The Newport girl of this year is exceedingly smart in all her ways. She wears her dresses either very long or very short, and afternoons it is her pleasure to trail along in gowns that are most majestic in their long, clinging outlines. Worn with Low Neck, Pointed Neck, Round Neck and Also with Square Cut. The necker, by the way, is one of the prettiest of the summer styles. Taken in a season when nearly all waists open in the back, it was not to be expected that this article of dress would be popular. The reverse is, however, the case, and the handsome little embroidered necker is found filling a very useful part in the wardrobe. It is worn with the low neck, with the pointed neck, with the round neck and with the deep, square-cut neck. The necker is also worn where there is a cloth jacket, cut a little bit low in the neck, yet not low enough to require a shirt waist. On very hot days there is some convenient arrangement of necker and jacket which seems to fill in the gap created by the other in a very nice way. With the linen coat the wearing of this little article is almost universal. A word to the wise is sufficient upon this subject, and there are very few who will not see the how, the why and the wherefore of the summer necker or chemisette. Announcing an Engagement. The proper way is to write personal notes to those who are supposed to be interested in the event—intimate friends and relatives, not mere visiting acquaintances. DAME FASHION'S DECREES BY ELLEN OSMOND Fashions for the Children Dress for Outing Wear Dress for Outing Wear Mammals wear pink as they have not employed this rosy color in many a long year, and the wee girls follow the lead of the mammals. Without question, with better result—for pink is not always kindly when years have piled up. It is very lovely, however, against the peaches and cream, the fascinating smoothness, of a child's skin; and the little malds in pink add not a little to the summer beauty. The frock may be a simple pink lawn, a lace-trimmed China silk—the kind of material does not make a great deal of difference. Get the right shade and shade and material that will bear tubbing, and make the frock with short sleeves and round neck. Baby arms and baby neck are so pretty, should not be concealed. 1 A DAINTY FROCK. The little model here shown is a nice one, the skirt frilly, the sleeves bouffant, the round neck giving a pretty babyish effect. The sash adds not a little to the ensemble—and to the small girl's delight. Very few frocks for girls are now made with long sleeves, many with nothing but a full puff at the shoulder; but for play dresses a longish sleeve is desirable, that the arms may be protected so when "best" is put on they be not all scratched and unlovely. White stockings look well with all frocks, perhaps are somewhat daintier than those matching the dress, though these are very popular. For misses' wear pongue has become This season the athletic girl need not push back her sleeves in untidy scrubwoman fashion, or turn down her collar in like manner when bent on vigorous play. The waist variously denominated—Peter Pan, tennis, golf, negligee—solves the problem for her. It has roll-back cuffs and three-quarter sleeves, and comfortable lay-down collar. With the Peter Pan the summer girl may enter into vigorous play and yet keep that fresh daintiness so admirable for dainty femininity. And the athletic girl of the moment is distinctly feminine, mannishness has retired into the background—for which we should all be thankful. This season a girl need not stride as though determined to proclaim herself "athletic," need not exhibit brawny arms to advertise prowess in the field, need not drag a bag of heavy clubs as sign of modernness. The girl that exercises is now an accepted fact, the time passed for assertion of a disputed point. And her dress has become more temperate, less explosive. It was in America the sensible short skirt came to its own, it was in America the shirt-waist first saw the light of day; and these have flourished in spite of ridicule by the French woman, exaggeration by the English woman. And are not these the foundations of the outing dress, taken together with thick-soled shoes and cool shade-hat? Almost any woman can build up a presentable outing rig from amoag the articles in her wardrobe; it is the few that go in for a costume devoted exclusively to outdoor sports. Probably you have a short skirt in your wardrobe, then add to it a tennis wrist such as we have described, and there the frock is provided for. A plain sailor is an appropriate hat to wear with this, and the sailor to-day very much in style. If buying a new dress we would advise short skirt and a jacket that may be worn open or closed. After strenuous exercise the snug jacket is often needed, and it is also well to provide for sudden changes of temperature, especially if one is off on a camping or walking trip. Two styles of shirt waists are especially appropriate, the Peter Pan and the plain linen waist with long sleeves. There is a liking at present to make the latter severely plain, without plaits or any fullness at all. A small pocket on one or both sides is allowed, otherwise the waist is quite a great favorite, and a colored pongee with white mull sleeves and necker makes a most attractive and cool little costume. A hunter's green pongee had for trimming small white pearl buttons, repeating the white of neck and sleeves in a pleasing manner. Young maids follow their mothers in wearing black with white, and with their white linen dresses affect black hair ribbons, black hose and shoes. They also show a liking for the pretty black and white striped wools and mohairs with pipings of black silk. Pretty colored linen dresses amany are worn by girls in their teens, and the lingerie dress is reserved for state occasions. The one-piece dresses are preferred, and with yoke, cuffs and girdle of lace insertion they are se dainty and filmy. Fine materials reign, and simplicity. Mull is a favorite, worn as it has not been for some time past. Summer coats for misses are plain enough to be remarked—usually donned only for outing occasions, where the clever young women know it would be suicidal to wear anything ornate. There are also some very plain white linens and serges, and the ponge coat is made like these, minus trimming. The elaborate bolero is affected by some young girls, but looks fussy and as though the wearer was in too much of a hurry to grow up. The white lingerie party dress may be all white or combined with colors. One excellent model recently brought to our notice was a frock of white embroidery whose wide crushed girdle shaded from palest lemon to deep orange. A fetching hat with this would be a lacey straw in burnt-orange shade. Again speaking of misses coats, we would mention the loose long coats of striped black and white mohair. Some of these are considerably trimmed, have deep revers of black taffeta, black braiding and fancy buttons. They look very pretty on a cool summer evening, and are fancy enough for any occasion, simple enough for almost any occasion. The lingerie hats multiply daily and daily grow prettier. The other day a little girl passed by with the daintiest one yet seen, a pink mull, light as thistledown, fresh as a pink rose. It was shirred to fit the crown pretty close, and the trimming was a single white baby rose pinned on here and there apparently at hap-hazard, the stem sticking out straight with apparent awkwardness that presently resolved itself into unconscious grace. The color of the hat lent a glow to the baby face that was exquisite. ELLEN OSMONDE plain. This style is especially popular with the riding costume, is considered best of style. It is cause for thankfulness that the stiff, hot, thoroughly uncomfortable riding "habit" has vanished. On summer days the horseback riders look so cool and fresh in their white shirt waists and wash stocks, their sensible sailor hats. A number of men are seen on the country roads riding with A DRESS FOR OUTING WEAR. out coat or waistcoat; man, too, has got back to shirt sleeves. Tub dresses are favored by not a few equestrianries, the skirt material linen or khaki. They are so made that by arrangement of buttons they can be transformed into very fair walking skirts. suitable also for the side-saddle skirt. A shepherd's plaid skirt with plain black coat has a certain smart look liked for the outing costume—though they have become pretty common. Pongee is brought into use even for the play dresses, and of course lines is in great demand for this purpose. Some Diplomatic Moves of Recent Years For so long Edward of England appeared to the world prince of Wales, leader of fashion and royalty holding out the scepter to numberless fair women, the world had got to consider him social arbiter rather than anything more serious. But now Edward of England rises above the old level, we find the leader of fashion and social arbiter showing unmistakable talents in the gentle art of diplomacy —or the black art, as it is sometimes styled. An enthusiastic foreign correspondent declares King Edward will certainly go down in history as Le Rol Diplomat. The latest stroke of diplomacy is shown in the Anglo-Russian friendliness—which causes much concern in Berlin. The Anglo-French entente was a victory in which the king had a good share of credit. At Algeciras the English felt pretty well satisfied with results. And the marriage of English princess and Spanish king has added not a little to King Edward's list of triumphs. It is said King Edward is moved to cement the bonds of friendship between England and Russia by a spirit of chivalry, that he pities the weakness of his nephew, the czar, and would give him support. But it were well also for England, a Russo-English entente. England and Russia are in pretty close quarters down near the frontier of India, in Persia also and China. Whatever the lack of cordial relation between the two countries, has been the fault of St. Petersburg, foxy Russian diplomacy not appearing to understand anything but ulterior motives in overtures from Great Britain, holding England an enemy, her supreme object to thwart the national aspirations of Russia. But Russian diplomacy may learn in the course of time aboveboard dealing has its advantages. "A Diplomat," writing in the North American Review, says among the qualities indispensable to a good diplomatist are knowledge of human nature KING EDWARD. and skill in putting that knowledge to account; and that psychology is the source of inspiration of diplomacy. The writer adds, an intelligent, and when occasion demands, unscrupulous use of the insight psychology gives into the workings of the brain and soul, is the triumph of diplomacy. Mayhap there is good reason for speaking of diplomacy as a black art. But perhaps that would better refer to the old diplomacy. In these days when questions of state have reference to a nation and not the sovereign as an individual, when the newspaper special correspondent does his best to keep his paper and country informed of every move in the game of nations, there has come necessarily a great change in the work of the diplomat and no little change in methods. We are told the diplomat's mission to-day is to soothe, to pour oil on troubled waters—not to carry out personal ambition of a grasping monarch. American diplomacy has ever been more open and sincere than European; Russian diplomacy the very opposite, Russian diplomacy apparently suave and conciliatory, but in reality pressing Russian advantage by means of spying and secret agents and bribery, pressing on with unscrupulousness and tremendous energy. By contrast to the Slav, John Bull seemed very blunt and unskillful, but at present holds his own. A distinctly French view of the case France was in not long ago when both England and Germany were trying to "make up," is this: "It appeared that Germany was vehemently flirting with the republic, not for her beaux yeux, but for hatred of England, and that England threw herself into our arms, moved not so much by a just appreciation of our charms as by hatred of Germany. There was a moment when France found herself in the eminently disagreeable position of ah unfortunate man standing between two women who are foes, and each of whom wants to throw a pint of vitriol in the face of the other." The well understood policy of the kaiser to keep nation and nation from any excessive friendliness the one with the other, his struggles to prevent alliances making for formidable strength, have not met with success in every instance. We have mentioned the removal of France's isola tion and would now call attention to the fact that the recent premier of England, Balfour, succeeded in gaining for England the friendly attitude of the circle of nations about Germany. With Germany and England hostile it is of import indeed that the states on Germany's frontier should have friendly leaning toward the enemy. Germany to-day is the isolated nation, her two friends the sultan and the pope. In review of European diplomacy one name stands out quite by itself, that of Bismarck; and the term Bismarckian diplomacy. To-day we are called upon to observe the bankruptcy of Bismarckian diplomacy. At the close of the Franco-Prussian war Bismarckian diplomacy came to [Illustration of a man in profile]. full flower. It was necessary that there be destroyed all chance of France being able to start another outbreak of war, the Germans must be given a period of peace in which to develop industrially and commercially. Bismarck used all the arts of diplomacy at his command to isolate France, to bind the other European powers in alliance with Germany. And succeeded. France was cut off from making any advantageous union. Bismarck was able to unite Germany, Austria and Italy in "the firm bond of a triple alliance." In 1877 an alliance between Germany and Austria-Hungary had been formed, mutual assistance to be given in case of an attack by Russia, and friendly neutrality in case of an attack by any other nation; and about three years later Italy was added to the alliance—the treaty between Italy and Germany providing for common action in case of French encroachments on either power, the treaty between Italy and Austria-Hungary for maintenance of friendly neutrality in event of hostilities between Italy and France or between Russia and Austria-Hungary. Andrew Carnegie, writing in the North American, repeats that to the monarch of England, the peace-making king, credit should be given for the friendship between England and France. In England Lansdowne and Balfour aided the movement to bury differences "in the deep bosom of the ocean," and in France Delacisse labored; but King Edward has the glory of suggesting the policy of bringing about the desirable (but by Bismarck called impossible) entente cordale. "Their colonial policies have been harmonized, their European policy—the isolation of Germany—is identical." In 1902 England entered into an alliance with Japan. When the Russo-Japanese war broke out diplomats were much interested in discussing the pros and cons of a renewal of the treaty. Before the war was brought to a close, a new treaty was signed; Lansdowne representing England, Hayashi Japan. In a notable speech made by the marquis of Lansdowne M. these were given as the object of the alliance: "The first is the maintenance of peace—the greatest of all British interests. * * * I believe that our alliance will make not for war, but for the maintenance of peace, and I think we may venture to say that if Great Britain and Japan desire peace shall be preserved in the far east, peace will not be broken. Now for the second object. It is the maintenance of the independence and integrity of China and the preservation of what we usually speak of as the 'open door.' The third object—mutual defense against unprovoked attack." ATTRACTIVE CURTAINS The Soft Materials So Much More Artistic Than Stiff Lace Curtains and Inexpensive. Nothing improves a house so much as the finishing touches of dainty white swiss and soft nets. These give a dainty and filmy effect to the windows that is most charming and restful to the eyes. The glare from outside is mellowed and the folds give soft shadows, which add greatly to the appearance of the room insided. Why, when we can buy such a variety of these dainty draperies, is there such a rage for the ugly and cheap lace curtains? They do not soften the lines of the windows and they do look nice when they are up, but they do look commonplace, and any woman attempting to make a room artistic would fall in her plan by adding the finishing touches of such curtains. They have some advantages I know, as they keep clean longer than the softer materials, but when they are done up their last state is worse than their first. The starchy appearance which they then take on is impossible for the home that aims to be artistic. Think of a little summer sitting room with white paint and clean fresh paper and dainty summer rugs. Soft cream madras, ranging from 35 to 70 cents a yard, could be made up at home, either as sash curtains, or if the window requires it, for inner curtains, and would make such a room a dainty pleasing apartment that would please anyone with artistic perceptions. Rather different effect can be given if white swiss is decided upon, or one of the many Calcutta nets, which come in fresh and beautiful designs every season. You have only to go the round of the shops to see how many beguiling things are on the counters in the upholstering departments.—Philadelphia Press. WEAVING SILK PORTIERES. Cut Pieces Half an Inch Wide — Sew as for Carpet Rags—Have Some Solid Colors. Extremely attractive silk porteries can be made by any beauty lover in the following simple manner. Start with any old silks you may have been collecting—neckties, old silk waists, scraps—anything in the silk line, the brighter the better. Cut the pieces about one-half inch wide and sew as for carpet rags. Sew all your solid colors together, making one or more balls of red, of blue, of black, or whatever colors you have. Next sew all your odds and end together as they come, forming a hit or miss ball. You will need a pound of silk to a yard of curtain. Next send to the weavers, who funnish a fine red warp and tinsel to suit your taste. If you wish to dictate how your curtains shall be striped give explicit directions, or if you prefer, they will do the striping for you according to their more experienced ideas. The threads of the warp are about one-half inch apart. Unless otherwise directed, your curtains will generally be woven about $2\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{x}2$ yards. The length or width will be varied, however, according to your directions. Another matter of taste is the fringe. Your curtains can be finished plain, or if you so order, the weavers will slit the sides between each thread of warp for several inches from the bottom of the curtain, forming a fringe resembling chenille. This fringe is quite effective and durable, though a plain finish will, of course, wear even better. The finished portieres have an elegance and oriental finish not to be procured in boughten curtains, without considerable expense.—Farm and Home. Remodeling Last Year's Gowns. "It will be gratifying to learn," we read in the June Delineator, "that there never has been a season more propitious than the present to women trying to solve the problem of dressing themselves and their children smartly upon a limited allowance. It so chances that the newest fashions enable a clever woman to remodel her half-worn garments with great success, either with or without the aid of a seamstress. It is a common mistake to think that a smart wardrobe is necessarily a costly one. Offener its smartness is due to good judgment in purchasing materials and to frequent remodeling. The wardrobe that has not had the process of remodeling applied to its garments includes, on the average, a dinner gown, two or three dresses that served in their time for visiting or for afternoons at home; a tailored gown of cloth and another of linen; the usual group of shirtwaists and a muslin or two, more or less dainty in texture and design. All were good last year, but just now they are a trifle passe and offer apparently little promise of smartness. Yet to the woman determined to extract from every dollar she expends possibilities she feels must be well worth developing." Beef Stew. One and one-half pounds of chucksteak cut in pieces and fried brown. Then take it out and slice and fry one quart of onions brown, and put both in a kettle and put about a quart and a pint of water on and salt to taste. Cook until tender. The onions cook away and thicken the gravy. It may be necessary to add more water from time to time, but when done it should be about like gravity and the meat as tender as chicken. Serves with mashed potatoes, beaten light. Spice Cake. One cup of sugar, one cup butter, one egg, beaten lightly, one teaspoon soda in one-half cup soar milk, two heaping cups flour, large one-half teaspoon cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg.

For nearly a generation the people of this country have known Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, during which time proof of thousands of cures by this remedy has been published and confirmed and not one person has been harmed in the slightest degree by their use. The pills contain no opiate, narcotic or stimulant, nor any drug which could injure the most delicate constitution. "For over a year," says Miss Charlotte Van Salisbury, of Castleton, N.Y., "I suffered from neuralgia and palpitation of the heart. My skin was pale and salow and I was troubled with dizziness, fainting spells and fits of indigestion. I was very nervous and would start at the slightest sound. At times a great weakness would come over me and on one occasion my limbs gave way under me and I fell to the sidewalk. "Of course I was treated by our local physicians and also consulted a noted doctor at Albany, but nothing they gave me seemed to benefit me. One day I read in a newspaper about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and I immediately gave them a trial. I soon felt much better and my color had begun to return. I continued using the pills and by the time I had taken eight boxes I was entirely cured. "My sister, Sarah Van Salisbury, suffered terribly from angina. She was pale and thin and we feared that she would become a victim of consumption. She tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and in a short time she began to gain in strength and weight. She is now strong and well and we both heartily recommend Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to all who are in ill health."
