NOVELTIES IN PARASOLS.
A Wide Variety In Sizes, Shapes, Color
and Decorations.

Wide Variety In Sizes, shapes, COlOrs
and Decorations.
There is the widest variety in para
soils this season. One scarcely sees
two alike, except in the en-tous-cas.
where uniformity reigns, with little
variety. The newest white ones OF
shocked, drawn muslin, lace or bro
cade have white enamelled sticks, with
balls of creamy Algerian onyx, set in
gilt, or large heads of embossed gold.
A few parasols are composed of largo
petals of muslin laid over each other;
others have fulled frayed ruche
around the edge (the shot en-tous-cas
and Indian silk ones have this also) or
a row of ferns or leaves laid on just
inside the edge, on the lining, or
spray of flowers or leaves sewn on at
the ferrule, and again close to tho
edge. Rows of small, most natural
looking shamrock leaves, nestled in
lace, adorn the exterior Of some para
soils. A row of shaded ribbon loops,
laid partially over each other, is some
times placed around the edge, corre-
spending with the colors of the group
of flowers placed near the ferrule.
The long walking-stick handles with
solid heads are very fashionable, and so
are the plain, dark, vanished bomboo
sticks with plain metal tops. Some &C.
centric sticks have lately appeared.
They are of unvsrnished wood, and
there are three horses heads issuing
from the stick and standing out in
proud and independent consciousness.
or two or only one. Then there are
three dogs heads cut out in the same
way, two. or one. They are generally
of the same class, but one stick has a
greyhound and pug's head oollsrcd
together with metal band, while an
other has spaniel and a pug. A
climbing bear, carved in the brown
wood of the stick, is another design.
while different one has three distinct
sticks of two inches or so, capped with
silver, branching from the parent stick,
in the same style as the horses and
dogs heads. A handle of carved ivory.

CONCER MING SOUPS.
VanderbiIt's Cook. Tells How to Prepare
Nutritious Varieties.


The French preparation of soups is
perfect in the care taken to remove all
grease, which is allowed to rise to the
surface and become hard, then being
removed in a solidified mass. The
French avoid noodle, lobster and
mock-turtle soups, and they do not use
vermicelli or macaroni. Delicately
organized persons take safely oyster,
tomato, grumbo, rice, oxtail, puree OF
bean soup. If eggs are added to soup,
it will be richer and more nutritious.
Excellent force-meat balls for game
and mock-turtle soups are easily
made: Rub to paste the yelks of five
hard-boiled eggs, adding slowly and
carefully, at discretion, some ealves
brains, also two beaten eggs; season
with salt and butter and add these to
the soup five minutes before boiling.
The French make their soup the day
before it Is to be used, giving ample
time for the fat to rise, harden and be

Let every husband farmer, II he lays

Christian, encourage his wife and
daughters TO cultivate flowers. 1t must

For the sake of your wife's health,
welfare and comfort, give every in

without bestowing so much as glance

of the beauty of the flowers. If you
are not interested in them, having no
eye or love for what is beautiful in
nature, at least appreciate what great
good they are doing to your wife and
daughters. They are making the SAL

joy. To see you cast admiring glances
at her pets will complete the good
woman's happiness, and you yourself

BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.
How He Came to Invent the Famous
Weapon of Offense and Defense


Weapon of Offense and Defense.
The bowie-knife was the invention OF
Colonel James Bowie, a famous from
tiersman, who was born in Logan Coun-
ty, KY, in 1896. In 1914 he settled on
a small piece of land, where he lived
by numbering, fishing and hunting,
soon afterwards made considerable
money by specializing in negroes and
in real estate, removed to Texas and
married the daughter Of Ex-Governor
Berrymenda. In 1890 he engaged
actively in the revolution in that coun-
try, and closed his career in the bloody
battle of the Alamo. His knife is said
to have been invented while he was con-
fined to his bed in the city of Natchez
from the effects of wound received in
a border fray He was man of much
mechanical ingenuity, and whitfield
from piece of white pine the model of
a hunting-knife, which he sent to two
brothers named Blackman in the city
of Natchez and told them to spare no
expense in making duplicate of it in
steel. This was the origin of the dread
ed bowie-knife. 1t was made from a
large saw-mill file and its temper after
ward improved upon by the Arkansas
blacksmith. 1t is said by Durand in
his History of the Philadelphia
Stage" that the knife which Edwin
Forrest used in Metamora" was the
original bowie-knife, and he tells this
story about it:
Very many years ago Bowie owned
plantation at Bayou Terrebonne, A
Spanish neighbor constantly annoyed
the Colonel with petty insults until at
last his conduct became so unbearable
that Bowie challenged the naughty
hidalgo. The latter accepted and
named knives as the weapons to be
used, and also stipulated that the COM
batants were to be seated vis-a-vis
astride of trestle, as on horse, the
four legs of the trestle to be buried
about foot in the earth, so that ii
could not by any possibility be over
turned. Each of the principals was
permitted to use in the duel whatever
kind of knife he might select. Bowie
had short knife, with broad blade,
sharp at the point and with razor's
edge made for himself. When the com.
batants met on the ground named
Bowie's knife excited the ridicule Of
his adversary. The result, however
proved the superiority of the bowie.
knife to the long Spanish couteau-de
chase used by his antagonist The
men took their seats on the trestle
both naked to the waist At the
agreed-upon signal the Spaniard drew
back his hand, armed with the long
knife to make lunge Bowie, how
ever, thrust the knife straight forward
into the body of his enemy and ther
drawing it quickly across, disem
boweled the Spaniard in the twinkling
of an eye. Bowie presented the knife

LINEN DRESS GOODS.
Fabrics Whose Goodness Is Grateful to the
Senses In Hot Weather.

Fabrics Whose Goodness Is Grateful to the
Senses In Hot Weather.
Since the times when purple and
tine linen" were the acme OF elegance
in apparel, linen has retained place
as the pleasantest of all material for
summer wear, Notwithstanding the
countless array of diaphanous and
airy fabrics in cotton, wooden and silks.
There is nothing "clinging" about
them. 1t is fabric whose ''cool re-
serve" is grateful to the senses in hot
weather, and if it becomes limp and
discouraged with wear, it can readily
be restored in the laundry and made to
assume its first freshness.
Linen ginghams are charming for
morning wear, and their simplicity
may be relieved with embroidery and
ribbon so that they become really
dressy. The newest goods in this line,
however, are the linen damasses,
woven like gingham, but in designs re-
sembling print, and which-also like
gingham-are not all linen, but with
the colored threads of cotton. Stripes,
checks and fancy plaids in gray, wood
color, brown, blue. red, and several
pretty color combinations, predomi-
nate, yet the effect when made up is
quite as pleasing and satisfactory as
The figured goods of seasons past.
The woven linens are also in stripes
and plaids of colors contrasted with
white, but these are all linen, and are
the most durable of all similar fabrics.
These are used not only for morning
dresses, but for boys shirt-waists and
blouses, and for this purpose are pre-
ferred to the figured linen cambrics
and percales, although the latter are
used. especially in dark shades Of blue

PLucKY womAN,s FIGHT.


Victorious Against Both Her As
torney and the state.
An Athens, Ga, dispatch to the
New York Times: The great Hulda
Moore case has ended by the
capitulation Of the authorities to the
intrepid womsn. A history Of the
ease may be interesting. For years
there has been a bitter feud between
Mrs. Moore and the Gholstons, a
prominent family whose lands adjoin
hers. She is said to have once asked
q friend to pray for her, stating that
she would pray for herself after she
got even with the Gholstons. The
feud illuminated two or three years
ago in q pitched battle between Mrs.
Moore, assisted by her husband, and
the Gholstons. This led TO pro-
tracted litigation, in which the in
terests Of Hulda and her husband
we're represented by lawyer Strick-
land. Mrs. Moore refused to pay
the latter's fee, considering il ex-
| orbitant. Mr.. Strickland sued aud

Office sid, having been given pos

stalked out. An officer was dis
patched TO her house to arrest her.
Hulda declined to accompany him.
A posse comitatus, Of six men next
made the attempt and succeeded in
securing her company, not, however
until she had flourished pistols in a
manner that was just awful, and had
inflicted q wound on one of her
would-be escorts. She was carried
to Danielsville, but not being
guarded very v~igilantly, escaped and
returned to her home. No further
attempt was made to secure her ar
rest until recently, when a detach-
ment of four men approached the
Moore mansion. Hulda had in the
meantime converted the mansion
into a respectable arsenal, posting
herself in the door and one of the
little Moores ct an upper window,
she opened fire so vigorously that
the entire destruction of the invading
forces seemed imminent. One who
had advanced nearest the rampant
was induced by consideration for his
personal safety to call for quarter,
protesting. Don't shoot, / am your
friend" You had better get be-
hind a tree if you are,' quosh Hulda.
The battle ended in complete rout
of the assailants, who discounted,
retired, leaving their intended
prisoner the mistress of the situation.
Mr.. Strickland has Withdrawn bis
suit, and the officers have informed
the plucky woman that she will not
be molested in future.
