As many make use Of the summer months
for travelling purposes, a word is in season
about very pretty travelling dress for 3
young person. You will find it shown in
the picture. 1t consists Of skirt, open jack
ct and blouse, the materials being lawn ten
mis- wooden, cream foundation striped with
red and yellow and Scotch plaid silk in
which red predominates. The blouse is
belted in with band Of gold galloon, and
the collar is also covered with the galloon.
The jacket hangs open and the skirt grazes
the ground. Crepons are extremely modish
for out-of-door costumes, races, rowing and
sports of all day.
At a recent race meeting was seen q
charming costume in fawn-colored crepon,
yoke and cuffs of pink satin overlaid with
guipure, with black chip hat trimmed
with black and pink. Blue serge is also
seen at the races and outdoor fetes, set of
with bright colored shirts.
The bit of headgear shown in the illustra-
ton is in the line of capotes. only this is
floral in character, being made up of a
diadem of shaded gillihowers. The strings
and aigrettes must match one of these dom.
ipant shades.
Quite novelty in the hat line is the
tourists hat, made up in straw open work
or lace work, similar in shape to the popular
tourists hat in felt or cloth. The crown is
medium tall and has the creased effect of
the original, and the brim, while slightly

Remedy for Squeakiny Shoes.

"a man who wears squeaky shoes is
worse than kiss without a mustache
accompaniment, said modern girl to
a Mail and Express man last night. She
directed her glance toward young man
who was crossing a tiled floor. "Some
women know more than men, and if
had that young man in my care for ten
minutes l would give him some good ad-
vice. He does not make much money
and cannot afford to buy expensive
shoes. and has to be content with ready
made ones.
"NearIy all ready-made shoes squeak,
and the reason is this: When the inner
and outer souls are put together there IS
generally some grit between them, and
the action of the foot causes the little
pebbles, which are harder than the
leather, to work like the ball bearings
OF a bicycle, and thus the squeak. A
dealer told me way to remedy this.
When your shoes squeak 60 to a shoe
maker and have him put a peg in the
middle of the sole and there will be no
more loud procla'nations.
Another thing, when you buy new
nair of shoes and they hurt you, put wa
ter in them and let it remain for min
ute, then pour it out, and If your shoes
burn or hurt you after that you can say
am wrong. The water takes all the
natural heut out OF the leather, and make
ihe shoes comfortable. - New York

A person may see as far with one per.

Is clearly; for the advantage that bino-
cular, or double, vision possesses over
monocular or one.eyed vision, is that the
former, by allo wing the observer to catch
sight OF the object from two different
points of view, gives him at once some
idea of the proportions of its different
parts.
But though this is true in theory, in
practice the judgment interferes and the
Judgment has been educated and in some
measure rendered independent of the
services of binocular vision, by expert
ence and the use of other senses, such
as touch.
Thus man with only one eye is never
deceived as to the nature of an object
With which he is we'll acquainted, for the
report of it that he gets from his vision
is corrected and supplemented by his ex.
perienced Judgment and transmitted to
his centers of consciousness in as perfect
a form as that which reaches those Of a
man with two eyes.

ADD KEROSENE TO THE STARCH.

1t does not seem to be generally
known that the addition of little ker-
osene oil to the raw starch in which the
bosoms of shirts are starched the second
time will produce highly satisfactory re-
suits. The first starching should be
done in hot starch in the usual way.
Then to one shirt take good half tea
spoon of starch and dissolve it in as
little cold water as possible. Next fill
the earthen dish in which you dissolved
your starch not quite half full of cold
water, and add a teaspoonful of kero-
sene. Stir the oil we'll into the starch,
then dip your shirt bosom several times,
rubbing in the starch thoroughly with
the hands. After this fold the SHIRT
smoothly, roll it tight and let it remain
30 at least an hour before ironing

A Fisherman Hooks q Whale.

William Carson is high line among
the fishermen of this county for this
season. He was out on one of the tugs
one week ago Saturday, and with the
crew of the tug was engaged in taking
halibut on the banks about three miles
west of the bar. After catching forty
pound halibut, several small ones and a
few soles, Mr.. Carson hooked something
that "walked" away with his line in q
steady manner. He called for assis.
tance, and with the captain and one of
the tugs crew the result was the same,
the line steadily walking away from three
of them. A turn was then taken around
one of the bits, when as the strain in.
creased it was seen that the tug was
swinging to the strain, and the line al
the same time appeared to be moving to-
ward the surfsce.
Judge of the surprise of Mr.. Carson
when whale about forty feet long came
to the surface and blew about two hun
dred feet from the tug, with the line
fastened to one of his fukes. With Z
sudden lurch of the tug the line parted
near the bit to which it was fastened
and went flying through the air in the
direction of the whale. The whale stayed
close around the tug for couple o.
hours and was struck with chunks oil
coal and shot at, to which he paid no
attention whatever.
After Captain Nelson had stuck hin
and lost his line also, the tug steamed 6
couple of mile farther out to get away
from him, as besides getting away will

Saueakfng Sands.

Singing sands are found in many parts
Of the United States, but squeaking
sands are not 30 common. There is only
one place in this country where the
squeaking sand is found. and that is a
small plain in South Colorado. The
singing sand emits musical sound only
when dry and looses this property on be-
ing dampeDed. The squeaking sand, on
the other hand. is silent when dry and
aeueaks best and loudest when moistened.
The sound it gives forth is by no means
loud, but somewhat resembles the squeak!

rubbed between the fingers or when
placed in small bag and violently
struck: but the cause of the sound 10 a

COCOA MATTINGS.

Cocoa mattings, which are useful and
desirable for piazza mats and coverings
and for covering the corridors of coun-
try houses used only part of the year,
are a yard and quarter in width, and
the best quality is sold for sixty cents a
square yard. One of the best patterns
has an orange ground crossed by broad
brown stripes; another pattern has an
ecru ground with red stripes. For the
sitting-room OF such houses blue denim
is sometimes used as border, or all
over the floor as background for rugs.
Flax colored linen with conventional
feur-de-lis or other design makes cool
and soft looking background for rugs.
Or it may be laid over heavy carpets as
a desirable change for summer, and is a
protection to the carpets as we'll. In a
family where there are many children
who dine at the family table a pair of
crumbcloths made of this linen are help
in keeping the dining room in nice con-
dition. A good quality of the linen,
which is two yards wide, is sold for fifty
cents per yard. A mating is shown
this summer that is made in imitation
hard wood floors, being like them in
color and design. The mattlngs are
jointless and of fine weave, some of them
having borders. They are yard wide.
