NOTES FROM THE SUMMER RE-
SORTS,


For the BENEFIT of the Stay.nt.Iaome..
Railroad trains are now carrying crowds
of homeward bound passengers.
Terra Gotta is the color favorite with the
bellies who still lingcr at Saratoga. The
Elizabethan ruff is popular with ladies who
have Swan like nccks."
News comes from popular summer re-
sort that every lady in the hotel is making a
worsted Tam OShanter hat What is to be
done with them when all the children and
young girls in the place are supplied with
the hcad-gear, nobody knows; but ii is
suggested the surplus he sent out to the
heather.
The Fauquier White Sulphur Springs, in
virginia, was the first of the watering places
established in the South, and in old times
was the resort of the planter gentry, who
maintained peculiar style of their own
About 1900 people was the capacity of the
place, and as the stable accommodations
were proportionatc to them, every beau had
to have buggy and pair, aud every head of
u family coach.
The following about Ocean Grove is from
the Philadelphia Times: Filtration is
everywhere. On the br Dad walk In the
evening it is amusing. Every other girl
you pass turns her head and smiles. If you
lift your hat she bows to you. If you walk
up to her and say Good evening" she says
Good evening, too, and commences to chat
with you us if she had known you all her
life. And yet there are few really bad girls
here. They are only little Wild they
throw of restraint when they come down
and they put it on when they go home. For
the young man who enjoys this sort of
thing, Ocean Grove is a paradise"
The Adirondack wilderness is divided into
three general divisions or systems, which
collectively occupy the attention of the great
bulk OF visitors, namely, the widely cclc-
DRAFTED Saranac and ST. Regis waters in the
north, where fashion and fishing are admir-
ably blended, whose gateway is Plattsburg
and Port Kent; the mountainous region OF
keene. North Elba and Lake Placid in the
east, with an entrance at Westport, with its
green mountains and lovely valleys, aud the |
rare combination of mountains and lakes |
known as the Blue Mountain and Racquette
lake waters in the SOUTH reached by way of
Adirondack railroad from Saratoga This |
Kacquctte region has an air of ncwntss and |
freshness, according to Stoddard, |
"as II just Weakened from long and
refreshing sleep" and in the last few years
has made rapid strides in the popular favor. |
The Racquette lake itself has been appro- |
priatcly named the Queen OF the Adron-
dack lake, 1t Is n great mass of bays, and
although its greatest length is only five
miles it is so very irregular in shape that the
shore line measures almost 40 miles. 1t |
contains Is islands, one of which is nearly
lhrec-quarters of II mile in length. Boston

American AntiHi,itics.

Colonel James Stevenson, of the Smithsonian
Institution, Is preparing to start on another
collecting tour to New Mexico and Arizona for
the National Museum In his previous collec-
tions he has gott.n together vast collection
Of antique pottery, plans OF villages ana other
relics Of the prehistoric Americans of the
Southwest that is unequaled In the world.
Last year he was gone three months, and
in his explorations made excavations and
discoveries which rival those OF Professor
Schliemann, of Assos. The ancient cliff towns
and villages OF the Moquis and Zunis were ex-
amined, and plaster models made OF them, so
that theyare perpetuatedi In miniature through
all time. In his work he employed fifty men,
and when he returned had a load that required
dozen freight-cars TO carry. Since his return
last fall large force has been at work open
Ing up the specimens and arranging them, and
now they cover over nn acre OF caseroom In
the new museum.
Little has been said about the finds he has
made In the Southwest, because there are two
or three more ancient villages known OF In
Western New Mexico which the heads of the
Bureau desire 10 have explored for the benefit
OF the National work, and II 1t had been gem
orally known they would have fallen n prey to
private Spectators. Colonel Stevenson's ex-
plorations last year cost only some So, 900, but
the collection would readily command $780,.
600 OF the great universities Colonel Steven
son Will finish the work in this locality this
season, and exhaust the field.

outlets 10 the Mis.issippi.

Little Rock tArk.1 Gazette.
ON the 10Th instant, Hon. II. T. Van Horn, Of
Missouri, delivered In the House OF Repre-.
sentatives one Of the ablcst ccarest and most
comprehensive speeches that have yet been
made on the question OF the Improvement OF
the Mississippi River. He showed, In man.
ner at once simple and lucid that the problem
Of the upper Mississippi is too little water,
and the problem OF the lower Mississippi too
much, from which lie deducted the very plain
nnd comm0nsensc axiom that what was re-
quired for the upper river would not
answer for the lower. Tho thing to do
in the upper river, he demonstrated,
was to cOnflne the scanty water In such mar
row banks, natural or artificial, rs to make a
deep.watcr channel. The thing TO do In the
lower river he showed, was TO create such out
lets as would act as floOd.mouths and carry on
the surplus waters I'm time Of flood. This Is
the whole problem, stated in clear and concise
language 1t will be found that the use OF
leities and leyees will be useless without the
employment also OF system OF outlets like
that proposed by Captain Cowdon. As matters
now look there Is considerable OF n job con.
nccted with the Mississippi River Commission.
