Fashionable Summer Hats.

Empire pokes for young women to
wear in the country are shaped to
come closely down on the sides and
curve far out in front, making excel
lent shade hats. They are chosen
mostly in colored Milan braids. and
trimmed just on the crown with a
great cluster of ribbon loops holding
flowers, blossoms from old-fashioned
gardens, or field daisies or poppies.
A green straw poke, faced in the brim
with green velvet, has three or four
shades of green ribbon punched on the
crown, holding large white daisies.
Black or white or gray pokes are
similarly trimmed with green, as tho
modistes, taking nature for their guide,
find that green can be worn with any
color Directoire hats with fiat wide
front to the brim are given a pretty
effect by the new dropping veil worn
with them-a scarf veil, very different
from the bag veil which lately had a
brief day of favor. The Directoire
brim, it will be remembered. is cut off
close at the back, and at this point
the long lace scarf is attached, TO be
brought forward along the projecting
front of the brim and drop down
over tho face, protecting it per-
fectly; when not worn over the
face, the veil becomes scarf, drawn
close around the neck, and its end is
thrust in the front of the dress. The
yelling is OF black net about three
eighths OF a yard wide. scalloped on
the lower edge and straight above

Smut in Wheat--.its Cause and REM

An examination had shown us that

if we sowod wheat too late in the sea-
son we raised smut. Fourth, If we
sowed very feeble grain, whether
that feebleness came from the wheat
being unripe when harvested or any
other cause, we would raise more or
less smut.
We also agreed that travelling wheat
threshers carried the smut germ from
one farm to another. But we disa.

A citizen from the Pacific coast tells Of .
thrilling accident to the Canadian Tactic
through express in the mountains. The
rail gave way on a point on the side Of the
mountain high above the Columbia river.
The engine passed over safely hut the two
coaches following swung about and top
pied over. The bank was almost perpen-
dicular and the cars would have tumbled
several hundred feet into the river had it
not been TINT the coupling twisted around
and held the tremendous weight. The
weight of the engine and the balance Of
the train prevented the suspended cars
from drawing the whole train down. The
suspense was dreadful. Tho frightened
passengers were compelled to remain in
their perilous position until the train
hands built a platform around and
underneath the hanging cars, enabling all
to make their escape. The place where the
accident occurred is considered the most
dangerous in the mountains.
