a PARTISAN Hat.

The hat shown in the cut is designed for
a carriage toilet, but is appropriately worn
on many occasions. IL is of nut brown
straw, with trimmings of white guipure
lace and wirtergreen ribbon, sparkling
with a rhinestone buckle. A bunch Of
roses, with their foliage, is placed under
the raised up bFim at the back.
One of the newest French bonnets has a
square front and crown as fat as board.
1t is composed of fine transparent straw
lined with yellow silk, and decorated with
a cluster of yellow roses and brown velvet
loops. The back is caught up with rose
and finished off with narrow velvet strings.
Some of the Greek bOnnets are finished off
with a wreath of small blossoms which
surrounds the wearer's back hair.
An example consisted of two narrow
bands of pink velvet covered with passe-
menterie and a cluster of black and gold
Marguerites. The wreath for the back
hair was of pink rosebuds, and the strings
were of velvet the same color Numbered
with the crownless bonnetS for evening
wear are those consisting of a narrow brim
of straw, rolled back from the face, and
surmounted by flowers and bow of crepe
and ribbon. Jet is again in favor for
dress bonnets, and SO is black lace; a
combination of the two furnishes a be-
coming and convenient bonnet for matrons.

Arsenious Acid.

The medical dose of arsenious acid is
about one twentieth of a grain given in
pill form after meals. This dose is in
creased under the directions of physi-
clans, but it is thing with which the
laity should not tamper. The lethal or
deadly dose is generally placed at about
one and one-half grains for an adult. 1t
has been placed at about one and one
half to two and one-third grains. The
effects of arsenical solutions, such as
Fowler's, are more rapid and severe than
those of the solid drug.
Fowler's solution is a preparation
much used. Women take it because it
gives plump appearance and beauties
the complexion. 1t is given in medicine
as an alternative and is much used in
skin diseases. Fowler's solution con-
tains four grains Of arsenicus acid to the
ounce. 1t is nearly colorless, with
faint taste of the compound spirit Of
lavender which is in it. The average
dose in beginning is five drops in wine
glassful of water after meals. The ounce
OF solution contains about eight tea
spoonfuls, and according 70 this the tea
spoonful contains about half grain of
arsenious acid.-Kansas City Star.

Silk Raising in France.

During the first half Of the present
century silk raising in France was quite
prosperous. In 1908 the production was
SOC. 900 kilogs. 1t then increased steadily
until 1S49, when 1t was about 2, 600, 600
kilogs. In 1854 mulberry trees began TO
be attacked by a rayaging disease, which
destroyed many plantations, and was
merely the first of many reverses which
have harassed and discouraged French
silk growers. Since then the production
has been subject TO great fluctuations
In 1875 the low water mark for the cent
ury was reached, with an output Of but
155, 600 kiIogs. During the last ten years
the annual production has been from
COO. 600 to 10000 kilogs.-Cor. Dry

Wyclife's Bible.

The first complete translation of the
Bible into the English tongue was eff
fected by John Wycliffe about 1880. This
was the Lollards' Bible, and a large
number of manuscript copies must have
been written and circulated, for 10
copies are still in existence. There were
also many transcripts of certain books,
as well as Of the whole Bible. Wycliffe
could not go TO the original texts, so he
translated from the Vulgate, or &C
cepted Latin version. 1t was not per
feet performance; but the reformer was
prevented by death from revising it, as
he doubtless intended to do.
The revision, therefore. was under
taken by John Purvey, and completed
in 1888. 1t is curious that the whole of
Wycliffe's Bible was not printed as one
book until 1850, when it was published
under the editorial care of the Rev. Jo-
siah Forshall and Sir Frederic Madden.

A WOMAN WHO LOVES FRUIT.
She Wants a Store Where She Can Buy
1t CheapIy and Eat 1t on the Spot.


1t CheapIy and Eat 1t on the Spot.
New York has big standing army,
fruit standing army, mean," said a
woman the other day, land know of
no other city where such fine fruit can
be procured at one corner, anyway, of
almost every block of buildings in the
town, and at all seasons of the year.
These open air fruit stands do an i'm
mense trade in the aggregate, am sure,
and paying low rents as their owners do,
they are able to sell fruit more cheaply
than people who keep regular fruit
stores and pay proportionate rents.
''Such a merchant, when he thinks of
his landlords bill, must often envy the
poor man who sells just as good fruit
across the way under the cover Of an
awning or an umbrella, and is able to
set a cheaper price on his commodities,
because his expenses are so small
Il have often thought, however, that
merchants who keep fruit stores might
add largely to their revenues if they
would provide tables and seats where
their customers could sit and devour the
fresh fruit when they buy it. Many
people are attracted by the sight Of pur
pie grapes, rosy checked peaches or mel
low pears as they pass by the windows
where the fruits are displayed, who long
to sink their teeth in the luscious things,
and yet do not like to do so in the street
and cannot be bothered carrying the
fruit home. Moreover, they do not feel
like buying enough to make it worth
while sending it home, so they pass on
and forget it.
"Now, if they knew that inside the
store there were a table and chair or
two that they were welcome to use, with
perhaps a trifling extra charge for table,
napkin and finger bowl, l am sure wom
en- especially, who are ont shopping and
who like sweet things and fruits, would
often and often drop into such stores
and buy peach or two, or bananas or
oranges, etc, and eat them on the spot,
If one goes into a restaurant and or
ders fruit. one pays a bigprice for it, too
big; but if l, for one, could buy luscious
npe fruit at ali seasons of the year in
this way at the ordinary rates, l would
be only too glad TO eat it on the spot,
standing up at plain, unvarnished
luncheon counter if need be. New

Projections for Gunners.

Experiments are being made by the
navy department with a new system Of
protection for gunners in exposed places
on men-of-war during action. From a
Pennsylvania factory has been procured
a peculiar description Of wire webbing
made of interlocking steel spirals which
is remarkably flexible and strong. 1t
bears some resemblance to old fashioned
chain armor, and it is proposed to use
curtains of this material to protect gun
ners behind shields from fragments of
exploding shells. The resisting quality
of the netting is believed TO be equal to
a solid plate of steel an inch thick.-Ex-

SUMNER HATS AND BoNNETs.

Styles Furnished by the Milliners for
Both Day and Evening Occasions.
Many of the French hats are as large as
parasols. The prettiest are of transparent
rush straw, garlanded with trails and
punches of roses, and devoid of anything
in the nature of a lining. They are very
becoming to fresh young faces. A novelty
in dressy hats for young ladies is what is
known as the basket straw hat. This is in
a thick braid, plated in a fat round shape,
and wired around the edge. 1t is bent in
point in front, and into two shallow seal
lops at the back. Newer than the Cont
mental hats are the four cornered ones in
Neapolitan straw. Leghorn hats with
wide brims have been reiptroduced, this
time with the brims crinkled. A favorlte
trimming for these are ostrich plumes.

Rumors of a Corner Being Worked in

CHICAGO, March pa local paper saws
there has been rumors on the Board of
Trade for some time to the effect that
corner is being worked in May wheat,
the cornerers having begun to buy when
the price was abont ninety-njne or ninety
four cents. The rumors variously pointed
to combination of New York and
Chicago men and to clique of Chicagoans
exclusively. Now it is asserted that it
has been learned that many of the buying
orders have come from New York and
chiefly through commission houses here
connected by private wires with Wall
street. 1t is said the purchases of the
manipulators must now be high up in the
millions in st. Louis, the Northwest and
heavy local spectators have shortage

bushels. II the clique holds half of this,
and succeed in their supposed intention
of working prices up to 81 %, the profits
would aggregate over five millions.

WASHINGTON NATIONAL BANK.
The Affairs of the Bank Carried on in
q Loose Manner.


NEW YORK, March "a. = Technically
speaking, the doors of the Washington
National Bank, whose failure was spread
broadcast yesterday afternoon, were not
closed, as it was announced they would
be to-day. Conspicuously posted on the
doors was the following notice:
AT the request of the directors, I have
taken possession of the bank in the name
of the Comptroller of the Currency, Ed
ward Lacy, under whose direction its at
fairs will be liquidated.
"A. B. HEPBURN,
'National Bank Examiner"
The clerks were all at their accustomed
desks in the bank, but no money was re-
ceived or paid out. It was said at 10
O'Clock that there was nothing new to be
made public at that hour.
Hlgham Sidell, one Of the directors, to-
day said that the capital stock of the bank
was $500 0o0 and it had been impaired to
the extent of Sl30,000 by loans made by
President Sherman. Sidell said he felt
certain the depositors would be paid in
full and that the only persons who would
be losers were the stockholders. Notice
was posted this afternoon that all checks
drawn on the Washington National Bank
by the Commercial National Bank Of
Fremont, Neb., would be paid by the
First National Bank of this city.
United States Examiner Hepburn gave
out lengthy statement this afternoon, in
which he said that as far as his eXamina-
ton extended there will be an apparent
loss to the bank from various sources of
S143,000. This would still leave the stock
holders entitled to dividend of 80 per
cent. He thinks the depositors will be
paid i'll full. Among the instances of bad
business done, he says the bank received
out-of-town collections and sent them for

the corresponding bank to hold them
subject to order. AT the same time they
