SUNNI Err HATS.

Light and Airy Creations That Are
Dainty and Unique.
Among the charming hats that will
be worn with the summer gown is a
white chip with a low crown and droop-
ing brim. A white silk cord edges the
brim and a scarf of white chiffron, with
the fine white cord embroidery, drapes
the crown. At the left side is a white
wing thrust through the scarf folds and
pointing forward. This hat is SIM
plicity itself and may easily be dupli-
Gated by amateur trimmers, who can
buy the chiffron with cord embroidery
at thirty-seven cents for wide edging
that can be run on plain chiffon to make
a pretty hat drapery.
A white rough straw is trimmed in
black velvet, the loops edged with the
straw braid, and braid standing up
around the edge of the low crown. In
the curves of the narrow brim white
tips are caught lightly, while a prince
of Wales cluster stands up in front, held
by rhinestone buckle
round hat of yellow milan has a
crown of plaid yellow and black silk.
The silk is in plaits at the center of the
crown, and the plaits open into full
puff over the brim. Right in the middle,
where the plaits are punched, knot of
the silk is tied, with two ends standing
erect and two black cutoff quills cross
ing. A hat of the same kind was worn
by woman whose gown was gray.
The silk crown of the hat was plaided
green and black; the inevitable shirt
waist and the parasol were of the same
silk. Such costumes are pretty for
travelling, and if a coat accompanies the
gown it may be faced with the plaid

ICE CREAM HEADACHE,
The Causes That Occasion 1t ScientificalI
Considered.


Considered.
During the first scorching summer
weather, young women often rush into
an ice cream saloon, with the intention
of cooling their bodies to at least few
degrees below the melting point. If in
great hurry they are likely to make
the first few spoonfuls of the cooling
mixture rather large. In many ladies
this almost Immediately occasions vio-
lent pain in the temples or somewhere
in the region of the eyes. One who has
studied the physiology of the case says
that the sensation is caused in the fol-
lowing manner: The frozen mixture
coming in contact with the nerves
of the throat (the larynx, pharynx,
etc.,, temporarily paralyzes them.
The sensation instantly shoots to
the center of those nerves, which is in
the brain, but finds there a side connec-
| ton in the shape of the great facial
nerve, which starts from in front of the
ear and extends its branches over the
sides of the face. One branch of this
facial nerve, extending across the tenn
pie, is nerve or sensation" while the
other branches are simply NERVES of
motion" utilized chiefly to govern the
play of the mouth. This great facial
nerve sidetracks the pain which pro-
ceeds from the chill, throwing it out
along the nerve branch which traverses
the temple, the pain being most agon-
izing at the point where the nerve
branches. If the irritation be extraor-
dinary, the reflex" action which takes
place may cause a violent pain in the
eyeballs as well as in the temple, the
eye pain being only sympathetic. IN.

Summer Drinks.

Into four quarts of boiling water
throw four tablespoonfuls of fine rice
and dozen rosy-skinned apples. The
latter must be rubbed thoroughly clean
with soft cloth, cut in quarters, and
cored, but not peeled. Simmer very
gently for an houf, then strain, add
lemon juice and sugar according to
taste, and drink when quite cold. The
less sugar employed the more refresh
ing will be the beverage. A very pop

FASHIONS IN FURNITURE.
Revival of the Empire Style of a Centur
Ago,

Revival of the Empire Style of a Century
Ago.
The probabilities of fashions in fur.
niture indicate that the coming craze
will be the Empire style. A century
ago this remarkable style of furnishing
was evolved in France, and it affords
opportunities in furnishing that are well
worth the consideration of our leaders
in household taste. The style recalls
the best traditions of the court of the
Empress Josephine. Italways happens
that when Louis Quinze and Louis Seize
styles have been III vogue for a time
they are followed by demand for en-
pire furnishings. AS is well known,
the revolution in France proved fatal
blow to Louis Quinze and Louis Seize
decorations. which were abandoned as
tainted with royalty and bad taste. Fol-
lowing the republican coup d'etat came
the republican era, during which new
society arose enthusiastic for anything
which recalled the republics of Greece
and Italy. The leading promoter of
these ideas was the painter Louis David,
who strove to reproduce on canvas the
'oeooetOo VI GhC RottS dutl Ullc llcIOVS Ol
Roman history. To be in keeping with
David's picture the republic demanded
return to republican classicism to suit
the tribunes, and the members of the
National assembly draped in their togas,
as well as young ladies clad in transpar-
parent tunics, harmonized with
furniture that was Athenian,
carved with bas-reliefs, and or
lamentations of the ancient mar
bles. Napolean, to preserve the
memory of his combats in Egypt and
Italy, instructed his architects to de-
sign the decorations of the imperial
residences after the manner of the
antique forms, and was opposed to any
thing in the way of decoration that
would revive the memories of the royal
times of La Pompadour or Marie
Antoinette. Then were produced large
mahogany consoles supported by
| caryatides and sphinxes in bronze Buff
fets were designed in which the ebony
was relieved with ornaments and bas
| reliefs in ormolu brass and chased cop
per. Richly decorated cabinets made
of rich Spanish mahogany, were re.
lieved with dull sparrow gold gliding
looking like highly chased ormolu. The
carving was cut with exquisite skill and
with the crispness that shows the mas.
ter hand. 1t would not be surprising il
the furnishings of a century ago should
crowd out the present styles. Percier
the leading ornamentalist of Napoleon's
art circle, very properly appreciates the
nature of decoration when he SAYS
Decoration of furniture becomes to
houses what clothing is to persons
Everything grows old and in few
| years is out of fashion and ridiculous
As there is nothing so old as an old
hat that is only a couple Of years old
SO in household furnishing, nothing ap.
pears SO out of style as the style thai
has only been recently abandoned

What an insufferable bore the chronic

street, inserts his finger in your button

that you have heard time and time
again. Then there are aggravated
types of this mania for telling stories
in season and out of season where the
story teller is afflicted with faulty
memory and hence forgets when he
meets you on Tuesday that he told you
his one story on Monday. The result
is that you are obliged to stand and

that blighted the day before

the grasp of the storyteller, you won

respect and whom it is pleasure to

right here in Detroit who can tell a
funny story just as well as any body in
the country. A first-class story-teller
to begin with, must have good men,

and in order to prove effective he
should have at least a fair knowledge
OF three or four dialects. He must
also be able to tell the most excru-

by the fact that greater story-teller

pertinent story at the end of his tongue
to fit any and every theme that might
be broached, and it is fact, I believe,
that oftentimes he could more forcibly

plicable to the subject under discussion,
than other men could by an elaborate
and detailed argument. But as for the

To Preserve Milk,

There are many ways of preserving
milk, SO as to keep it sweet, but one of
the most satisfactory is that which is at
present practiced at an establishment
in Texas. The milk, fresh from the
COW, is subjected to a boiling heat, and
after all the air has been expelled from

When the process was first invented,
about fifteen years ago, several dozen

every case, been found perfectly fresh.

COLOR BLINDNESS.

tcresting Results.
Prof. Herring undertook a series of oh
servations upon three normal-sighted
persons, namely, upon himself and upon
his two assistants, DR.. Biedermann and
DIR. Shilling. These experiments were
designed to elicit whether any constant
differences could,be detected in the color
judgments of the three normal-sighted
persons who were the subject of expert
ment. The question proposed for judg-
ment was the determination of the point
at which red, which had been grad
uated off on the one side into blue-red
and on the other into a yellow-red,
could be regarded as at the neutral
point at which it did not incline

He Meant Business.

The readiness of the West Virginia
and Kentucky moonshiners to use the
repeating Winchesters that they have

fact'the other day, told the following
story: II had been up in the mountains

small villages up there, and had the
farmers come in and sign the leases.

trembling lips.
