SOME NOVELTIES IN HAMMOCKs
Which Are Progression from the old
Sagging Cord Bags.

Which Are Progression from the Old
Sagging Cord Bags.
Away from the sights and sounds OF
great city, with no fear of the smirch
from its dusty streets and the WEAKNESS
from contact with its perspiring crowds,
beyond reach of the hum of the too
amiliar and overload mosquito, the
summer girl has found a convenient
Dough from which to swing her ham
mock. Her hammock is a dainty affair of
Mexican grasses or of multi -colored cot
ton cord, pillowed and valanced to the
height OF prettiness and luxurious ease,
not to mention a laziness which high
temperature and saturated atmosphere
make few of US blush to admit.
Inc very latest thing in hammocks is
dlgnified by name. 1t is called the
royal social,'' and all because it will
hold two people without mixing them up.
1t warranted to swing fat person and
a lean person at the same time without
disaster or danger of splitting either, and
altogether it seems to be on hand to meet
a long-felt want. 1t is twice as broad as
the ordinary hammock, and is divided
exactly in two, longitudinally, by the
center's being drawn tight, 50 that two
hollows, each with its separate cushion
and stretcher, lure one-or two-to the
delights OF killing time as they 'swing,
swing together to the music of the
Freeze"
The valance is an acquisition to the or
binary, every day sort OF hammock that
finds ready appreciation. 1t very kindly
hides any defects OF position that might
be comfortable except for the knowledge
oil its awkward appearance, which to one
sensitive to appearances would be seri-
Gus drawback. The valance is graceful
In itself, and, being woven OF the same
colors as compose the hammock, it makes
1or improvement whether the hammock
be In use or empty.
| 1t Is becoming something of a fad for
the young lady of the day to have strong
hooks In the walls or woodwork of her
room and to hang her hammock for her
siesta or to con over the pages of the last
novel. So much attention is now given
to the picturesqueness of the negIige that
so pretty touch OF eastern modes could
not be omitted. But who shall deny its
comfort as even better rdison d'etre
| Often the enjoyment of a hammock is
greatly fnterfered with by a provoking
absence OF shade just when we most want
It, Perhaps there is one convenient tree
under which to hang the hammock, or.
again, there may be two young trees
whose LEAKAGE does not protect from the
sun. 1t is an admirable plan under these
circumstances to stretch an awning oyer
the hammock, for then you can lie in the
hammock at all hours in serenest com
fort, perfectly unconcerned, even if light
showers come up. Make the awning In
the form of an isosceles triangle, cutting
OIL the acute angle at width of eighteen
inches; sew this end firmly over rod OF
round stick; put screw-eye into the
middle OF the rod through which to pass
a rope, and tie this end to the tree: the
other points must have rope sewed stoutly
to them and be tied to posts, unless there
is second tree, in which fortunate event
they can be tied to its branches.

The King of Siam.

There are no words which so we'll ex-
press the relation between king and peo-
pie in Siam as the sacred phrase, sto live
and move and have ones being" And
what is this king, his majesty Prabat
Somdetch Pra Paranindr Mahah ChuIa-
longkorn Pra Chula Chom Klao, and in
what way is he using his almost divine
influence to mould the future of his coun-
try? Personally, his majesty is one of the
most charming of men, (and pay him
this tribute the more easily because have
had many opportunities of learning its
Justice well informed, kind hearted,
strong in character for an oriental and
full of dignity, and he would be reckoned
a handsome man and a gentleman any
where.
But there the praise must stop.
His life is one uninterrupted act of
self-indulgence. He. was the father OF
two daughters before he was fifteen; his
first wife is his half-sister (''in order
that the royal blood may be preserved

Der of s'wives'' and women in his palace
is unknown; everything concerning
them is euphemistically known in Siam
csc as Kang Nai-s'the inside' and is a
strictly forbidden topic of conversation.
Since to have influence within the palace
is the chief desire of every Siamese, every
attractive girl has been thrust upon his
Majesty by her father for the past twenty
years. His children must number more
than hundred.
The s'inside'' of the palace is nota suite
of apartments-it is town. The private
personal environment OF the king is not a
household-it is a community. Every
wife can load herself and her children to
the ground with jewels; every one of them

Of the condition of this country-in-
deed, even OF HE own capitalize king
knows next to nothing. Whenever be
goes out the streets are ieveled and swept;
the soldiers and police don clean clothes
and buckle on accoutrements and arms
kept specially for such occasions. The
police boats are painted and anchored in
rows; the canals are cleared of logs and
Tubbish; Bangkok puts on for his
majesty s eye an almost European air Of
propriety. When he has passed the

WHERE ARE WE AT?

The Amount Outstanding on City War
rants Exceeds $3.50. 900.
The condition of the city finances are
getting no better fast.
Previous to Friday night some Il, 900
city warrants had been issued, represent
ing about $50, 600. At the last session OF
the council, over $50, 600 more was appro-
priated. all of which is paid in warrants,
bringing the total outstanding on such
paper up to over S13O, 600.
The bond buyers who are here decline
to put in any more bids on the issue OF
$500, COO, and before they are disposed oil
it looks as though the city would do a
rushing business in the warrant line.
Mayor Baskin believes, however, that
satisfactory bid Will be received for The
bonds before great while and favors the
idea of dealing in warrants rather than
making sacrifice on the bonds.

THEY DON'T LIKE 1T.

City Employees Indignant Over Loot
bourow's Proposed Reduction.
The resolution introduced by President
Loofbourow on Friday night authorizing
reduction of % per cent. in the salaries
of all city officials and employees, created
considerable CONSERVATION among the
clerks and laborers.
"Why," said one of the clerks, yester-
day. 1--WE have to discount these war
rants about 10 Der cent. now, and re-
duction of % per cent. would really mean
cut OF 30 per cent. and the clerks and
laborers who have families to support
have a hard time to make both ends meet
as it is. This resolution of Loofbourow' S
is dirty outrage.
And the clerk expressed the sentiments
of all his co-laborers.

Taking Down a Drummer.

A few years ago number of us were
stopping at the Henry house in Abilene,
Kan. Among the guests was plug-hat-
silk umbrella clothing drummer from
Boston. He had no desire to make up or
affiliate with the "boys," but was a
crowd all to himself, SO we concluded to
initiate him. About six miles west OF
Abilene was water station called ssSand
Springs AS soon as Mr.. HBoston,,
was within earshot, one man said:
''Well, l got in one nice order yesterday
from Jones at Sand Springs.'' Eyes, -

and shoes.' 'sAnd I,' said another.
tsold him splendid order of notions. y
Another one said, 81 heard him wish a
clothing man would come along.'' Mr..
Boston at once pricked up his ears.
went into the ticket office and asked the
agent, "Where is Sand Springs?' - The
agent told him, ssThe first station west. -
He purchased ticket and had his
seven big trunks checked to "sand

store here?'' "Divil the bit,' said Pat.
1t soon dawned upon the Bostonlan that
he had been the victim of a cruel Joker.
He had to skirmish around and paid a
farmer % to haul his baggage back to
Abilene. When he returned, one Of the
boys gave him the "grand hailing sign''
and told him why it was done. He s'set

overlaid with gold leaf. By itself
the Transportation Building would
be considered highly decorative, but
It seems out of harmony with the
chaste structures by which it is sur
rounded.
The other principal buildings are
Horticultural Hall, the Women's
Hall, the Woman's Building, the
Government Building, the Leather
and Forestry Building.
Then there is a remarkably inter
estlng group of State buildings and
OF buildings erected by foreign gov
ernmentS and individual exhibitors.
Pennsylvania's building is conspi-
cuous because of its good design,
but there are others much more
costly. California has an immense
structure in the style of the old
Mission buildings, Illinois has a
building big enough for a main
structure. New York has a costly
mansion, and SO on through long
list. Each State and nation has
expended from four to ten times as
much money for its buildings at
Chicago as was expended on similar
structures in 1876. The variety of
architectural effect in this group is
as pleasing in its way as the classic
severity of the group in the Court of
Honor.
Curious contrasts are presented
between the main building md those
OF the Centennial Exhibition. The
former showed their construction,
whether of wood or of iron, and
feeble attempts were made at decora-
ton of the fla services. They were,
moreover, painted inside, and SOM
attempts were made at interior
decoration. The Chicago Worlds
Fair buildings are iron frame struc-
lures, but their construction is
entirely concealed by moulded or
modelled staff, which was invented
In France about the time of the Cen
tennial. 1t is composed # powdered
gypsum, alumina, glycerine and
dextrlne. These materials are
mixed with water, as plaster Paris is
mixed, and cast in moulds of any
desired shape, usually with coarse
cloth backing. Nearly all the sculp
tured figures are modelled in staff
The material is sometimes mixed
with cement to give it hardness and
with or without cement is declared
to be a permanent building mater
lal. This, however, is doubtful,
unless its exposed surface shall be
we'll painted. 1t is, of course, a very
cheap building material for large
structures, where one design is
repeated hundreds of times from
single mould. Thirty thousand tons
OF staff were used to give the
Worlds Fair the appearance of a
magnificent marble city. !

once again Illuminated by the light
Of the sun.
Glass mirrors are suppose TO have
been first used in Sidon. Like
almost everything else, they were
very dear for long time after their
introduction. We read in a letter,
written in 1873 by Colbert to the
Count Auvaux, that ever if mirrors
had been manufactured IN France at
that time, nobody but the king
would have been rich enough to buy
one.
The annual manufacture in Europe
at the present time according to the
latest statistics we have been able to
get, is something like 1850, 900
square yards of looking glass
In the mirrors of to day the light is
reflected by layer of silver or an
amalgam of tin, but proportion of
light is lost in the process of reflection,
and the image is less luminous than
the original.
The value of looking glass is usually
estimated by the thickness of the
glass, because the thicker they are the
stronger they must be; speaking scien-
tihcally, thick glasses are detective,
because the outlines of the Image
reflected are less clearly defined.
There are really three reflections, and
consequently three images IN every
glass mirror one from the upper sur
face of the glass, the second from the
lower surface, aud the third from the
metallic layer at the back.
An ideal mirror is one with a per-
fectly fiat surface; but it is only pos
sibie to obtain this result in Compare
lively small glasses. The larger glasses
do not reflect true image because 1t
is not possible to make them quite fiat.
