as all the world knows, it sees the event
of the SeaSon-the GOOdWOOd races. to

week, by hiring out all the ancient gigs.
coaches and other vehicles which the
place contains. These are, of course,
only used by the cOmmOnalty. as the
ariStocratic visitors have their own
equippages sent down to meet them.
The famous race-cOuTSe is about mid
way between London and the ancient
naval station of Portsmouth, where
still lies the victory, stained
with blood as upon the day
of Nelson's death; and upon the
GOOdwood lawn are yearly displayed
some of the lOYelieSt faces and most
stunning tOilettes TO be seen anywhere
in Europe. For it is a dress occasion,
this race meeting, and for it gowns are
planned and ordered months before. A
great many of the costumes bear the
little silk label of Redfern, and it is
easily seen that his designers have eX-
erted themselves to produce original and
striking effects. Here is one of their
latest achievements, which will be worn

relates her horrible experience in an insane
asylum i'll the following graphic language:
"In the fall of 1882, began to have violent
nervous spasms. some of them lasting for
hours: after each attack l found my memory
growing weaker and my disposition became
morose and sullen. Try as hard as l might to
fight against unreasonable ideas, they would
crowd themselves into my brain. Becoming
violent, my people were forced to place me
in the insane asylum at Madison. where
grew no better. Ny affianced husband, MIR.
William Hoffman, went to DR.. Frank Powell
white Beaver, Of La Crosse, and fully ex-
planned my condition to that eminent ply
stefan. The doctor said that he thought that
my insanity was due to the arrangement of
the organs peculiar to females and sent me
medicines, which l took and rapidly grew
better | was allowed to leave the asylum
and went to La Crosse. where White Beaver
operated upon me. and l am now well
woman and married. My maiden name was

White Beaver.

The life of White Beaver CDR. Frank Pow
elD bears all the colors and shades of an
idyllic romance; his character stands out
upon the canvas of human eecentricities in
striking originality, and finds never its coun-
terpart, save in stories of knight-errantTy,
when hearts, names and titles were the
prizes bestowed for daring deeds evolved
from generous sentiments. His has been the
tenor of uneven ways, with characteristics as
variable as the gifts in Pandora's box. A
born plainsman, with the rough, rugged
marks of wild and checkered incident and
vet mind that feeds on fancy. builds images
of refinement and looks out through the
windows of his soul upon visions of purity
and fields elysian A reckless adj
Yenturer on the bouudless prairies,
and yet in elegant society as amlable as a
school girl in the ball room, evidencing the
polish Of an aristocrat, and cultured mind
that shines with vigorous lustre where learn
ing displays itself. A friend to be valued
most in direst extremity, and an enemy with
implacable, Unsuitable and revengeful ami
mOsities. In short, he is singular combina-
ton of opposites, and yet the good i'll him so
preponderates over his passions that no one
has more valuable friendships and associa-
lions than these strange complexities attract
to him. He Is an ideal hero, the image which
rises before the ecstatic vision OF a romancer
and he impresses himself upon the millions

alterations of the cornea successfully treat

La Crosse VIII Miss Him.

The Morning Chronicle, of La Crosse, Wis.,,
in its issue of last Tuesday says editorially:
white Beaver made his farewell (profes-
siena) visit to La Crosse yesterday. That
our city will miss him goes without saying.
The doctor has brought thousands of dollars
into La Crosse yearly since he came here,
and in many other ways has helped to make
it prosperous. His business has been i'm
mense for the past decade, and if ne chose to
remain he could still justly lay claim to hav-
ing as large practice as any physician i'll
the whole Northwest.
1T is surely not a lack of patronage that
takes the Beaver from u.s. but, as he says,
st. Paul is nearer the center Of his practice.
which extends over the most of the states Of
the North aud West.
I'VE wish the doctor success in the SANITY
City, and he will, we are sure, force recogni-
ton there. as his skill as physician and sur
geon is unquestioned even by his enemies
his social standing among the first, and his
business and intellectual faculties second to
none. Good luck and God speed to the
White Beaver. That he may grow tired of
making new friends and return to his old
ones is the wish of our whole people"

NICE THINGS TO KNOW.

Travelling hats of soft straw have a

, rolled high and close on the sides, like
those of English walking hats. They

with tan or beige wool dresses, and are
also made of light checked woods of

of ribbon around the crown is tied in
fiat bow Oh the left, or else a sharp
pointed wing, or perhaps two small
wings. are thrust in the band. Soft
white straw hats similarly shaped have
navy blue ribbon loops for trimming, or
else white ribbon loops are pointed like
Outspread sails on each side, or single
large windmill bow of loops set around
center knot nearly covers the left side.
Little jackets of lace are dainty and
becoming. An odd but pleasing effect
may be produced by giving a gown
yoke of lace in front, with short jacket
back. open and round cOrnered. A
water gray and white striped wash silk
was thus trimmed with black lace. A
lace glrdle completed the front of the
bodice. The long lace capes are among
the prettiest summer WRAPS brought out
for long time.
Small bonnets for out of door fetes
ana the games are far more i'll favor
than large hats. Under these bonnets
the hair is dressed with the Josephine
chignon (which is simply coil placed
rather high on the head and full

generally fastened with either pearl 0r

hold the flowers in an upright position,
take some more sifted sand and care
fully cover them. A spoon is good
thing for this, as it fills iii every chick
and Granny without breaking or bend
ing the leaves. When the pan is filled
solidIy, leave the flowers to dry for
several days. 1t is a good plan to warm
the sand in the oven before using 1t,
as the flowers will then dry more
thoroughly. In taking the sand off great
care must be taken not to break the
leaves. as they are now dry and brittle:
PanSies preserved in this way will
keep their shape and briliancy OF color
all winter, and many other flowers can
be equally successfully treated-any-
thing, in fact. where the full pressure
of the sand comes on both sides of the
leaf; otherwise they will sbrivel. Ferns,
when preserved in this way, have a
more natural look than when pressed,
and the maidenhair fern looks almost as
we'll as when it is freshly gathered.
