City Waterworks.

A good deal Of discussion is beng
INDUCED in about town just now rel
alive to our city waterworks system,
The approach of spring and summer,
which brings with them the need of
much more water, places the question
again before the citizens of our town
to be disposed of. From all quarters
comes an expression in which all
agree, that the short supply Of water
last year cannot be endured again
this coming summer.
The failure of the wells east Of
town early last spring called out a
good deal of experimenting in varl-
GUS places in search of an adequate
supply Of water, but with no decided
results thus far. Among those who
conducted the experiments there are
various opinions as to the best place
to locate wells. Some hold that
plenty of water can be secured on
Plotner creek, while others clam it
will be necessary to go to Deer creek
to insure enough water for the city's
use at all times
The original cost Of the plant was
about $4,000 to which has since been
added some four or five thousand
dollars, in wells repairs, etc. The
yearly cost of maintaining the plant
is about as follows, according to Wa
ter Commissioner Hoses figures.

Tnright Pianos.

The superior improvements in the
upright are crowding out the square
piano from the field. Ten to fifteen
years ago the square piano held place
between the upright and grand, but the
upright has advanced beyond it, and
today no square pianos are being turned
out by good makers Up to few years
ago fair prices were given for second
hand squares, where today firm hest
tates even at taking one in exchange.
When they do get on the market, they
are generally purchased by the public
schools.
A musicianly purchaser will prefer a
secondhand piano Of standard make to
a new instrument Of inferior manufac-
ture, and as the best piano judges are
not always able to pay the price Of a
new piano good secondhand one is al
ways salable within the city limits.

Many Of the Finest Kinds In Existence
Plentiful, but Almost Unknown.
Many of the finest woods in existence
are yet unknown Or only slightly
known to the manufacturers Of wood
in the civilized world. The woods Of
Central and South America are perhaps
the most remarkable as we'll as the best
known. In the yet untouched forests Of
this continent are many woods far finer
than any Of those now in use. These
woods range from pure white to jet
black in color, and many Of them are
most beautifully marked and veined.
Some Of them are so hard that they
turn the edges Of axes, chisels and other
tools, while the band saw cuts them
only slowly.
In the Columbian exposition there
were many displays of little known
woods, and the finest of them were those
from Argentine Republic, Brazil and
other South American countries. Some
of these southern woods yielded to the
teeth of the band saw not the ordinary
sawdust, but fine powder, fine as the
finest -four, 50 hard were the woods.
Some of them burned but slowly. 9th
ers possess qualities that keep them free
from insects. Some Of them seem to be
practically indestructible by air and
water.
All along the eastern slopes of the
Andes, up to the snow line on those
great elevations, throughout all the
great river valleys and in some of the
wide areas of level country in South
America are great forests Of fine woods
that are specially fit for the finest cabi-
net and furniture work, and also for
shipbuilding, carpentry and other in
dustrial arts in which wood is the raw
material. These great forests are now
an unknown quantity in the commercial
world, but they will come rapidly into
the knowledge Of men and into indus
trial use when once the railroad has
reached them.
Before many years, it is safe to pre-.
dict, the South American and Central
American republics will be threaded by
railroads, and then those wonderful
woods will be drawn upon to supply the
demand for new and fine woods in all
civilized countries. Lumber World.

those who do not possess it, says The
Household, which directs as follows:
Procure some small pictures of the
Brownies in no matter what position.
These can be found III children's story
books and magazines and often on adj
vertisement cards. They should be any
where from one-half to one inch in
height and are either cut out or traced
to another piece of paper and then cut
out and laid on the jar, where they are
outlined with a lead pencil and filed
in as silhouette pictures, with vandyke
brown oil paint, mixed with little
burnt sienna and applied with a fine
pointed brush.
The figures are put in wherever a
space for them can be found. A narrow
brown satin ribbon is then tied around
the rim of the jar in jaunty little bow,
and the result is a dainty little match
holder that any one would be glad to
possess.

is drawn in at the top to form a rosette.
The belt and collar are Of red velvet,
with bows at the back.
The growing amplitude Of skirts at
the bottom is not at all displeasing, now
that all street costumes must be made
to clear the ground. They fit as closely
as ever on the hips, and the full, ex-
banding sides are closely gathered over
the hips, plainly gored in front and box

cording to the authority already quoted,

evening dresses are more gorgeous than
ever, but fashion was never more &C
commodating in the matter of renovat-
ing old dresses. Every sort of a fancy
waist is admissible for evening rs well
as afternoon dress, and chiffon is the
most popular material.

Hardness of the Crane MYRTLE.

Philadelphia is about as far north
as the Grape myrtle proves hardy.
Though killed to the ground. it will

much farther north than Philadelphia.
Several correspondents write that it Is

where. Fur, which was so extensively
used for trimming last year, is in great
er demand than ever, sable and chin
chilla taking the lead. This in itself is
not elegant enough for the season s mag
nificence, so it is combined with jet in
the most novel manner. Large jet orna-
ments are set few inches apart in a
band Of sable, and jet gallons are bor
dered with fur on either edge, while
rosettes of fur alternate with jet in 9TH
er trimmings. Feather trimmings vie
with fur for popularity, being very
tightly curled and sometimes ornament
ed with jet motifs. Jet passementeries
are to be very much worn, and the
latest designs are characterized by satin
beads Of various sizes in place of the
sequins used so much last year. Gre
pons are more varied and novel in de-
sign than ever Some of them resemble
the veinings of wood, while others have
the appearance of Persian lamb.
One of the latest novelties is caracule
crepon, which has the peculiar wavy
surface Of the fur. Many of the new
cloths are patterned in black on color,
and frieze suitings in dark shades, with
fiat, tiny loops Of light color, or in
black on red, blue or brown, are among
the new goods. Plain cloths are worn,
and tweeds, both rough and smooth,
with every mixture of color interviewer,
are favorlte material for travelling and
morning wear. Periwinkle, or hya-
cinth blue, in q variety Of shades, is
the most fashionable color Of the season
and is used in cloth, MORO and velvet.
Many of the gowns are made in COM
binatiOn with some striking color, such
as brown with crude green, blue with
fawn, tan and mauye and dark blue
with red. A pretty walking costume Of
p5riwinkle blue cloth has a plain full
skirt braided around the bottom and up
each side TO the waist with braid OF a
darker shade, which has the touch of
cream white in it. The round vest of
cream white silk has braided belt and
the Spanish or Elton jacket effect, which
is being made so much by Felix, has
folded revers and wide collar, which
is square in the back, Of cream white
silk braided to correspond with the
skirt. Reyers are either very broad or
else not won at all, and in many cases
where the bodice is cut away to show a
vest revers are entirely dispensed with,
and the edge is finished with band of
gallon. A novel costume of black velvet
and cloth has skirt Of black velvet

edge of cloth basque, which, like the

SUMMER FASHIONS.
HOUSE DRESSES AND COSTUMES FOR

Tho Latest Skirt Is Six Yards Around the
BOttom-How to Make It-AM Kinds OF
Bodices and Jackets-Linen and Serge
Tennis Suits.
The keynote Of the seasons modes
which are now SO fully developed is the
revival of the styles of our grandmoth-
prs, but history never does quite repeat
Itself in fashions, SO there is both dis
tinotion and a difference between the
old time ideas and their modern treat
ment. Old fashioned silks, checked,
striped and watered, and balloon sleeves,
daring skirts and lace capes have been
accepted with evident satisfaction. All
kinds Of bodices-except perhaps the
pne which is nodded to the figure with
many seams-are worn.
They are draped across, fulled into
the belt, arranged with frills, wide
spreading collars and revers, deliberately
trimmed with lace, chiffon and spangled
trimming, but they are in appearance
practically seamless. Little jackets are
either made or simulated by the trim
ming. A pretty way to accomplish this
effect is to full lace in at the front seam
lof the armholes an inch or so on the
shoulder and under the arm and draw
lit closely together in front with knot.

SONS are worked in solid embroidery,

Stem stitch is used for the veining. 1t
may be noted that while the feeling OF
full blown roses is suggested in the
larger blossoms none of them is pre-
sented with the front view, as it would
take very expert worker to reproduce
the interior of full blown rose. The
best efforts of embroidery can never ap-
proach nature, while the management
of the blossoms in design can be carried
out after the manner of realistic paint
ing, recent efforts having been directed
toward the blending Of the shading in
embroideries, so as to simulate paint
ing, rather than by rendering it in fiat
blocks.

Fashionable Millinery.

Rumor says that bonnets are not worn
at all in Paris, but hats Of every con-
ceivable color and shape are to be seen
everywhere. This announcement comes
every year with the first breath of sum.
mer, and the present display of mil
liners wares seems to give it SEM
blance of truth. Light colored straws,
tulle, lace and leghorn hats, adorned
with feathers, flowers and airy tulle
bows, have apparently usurped the place
of the diminutive bonnet and toque so
popular in the early spring. Trimmings
have moved out onto the brims, and
nearly all Of the hats have either bow
of ribbons, band and buckle Or a
bunch of flowers underneath the brim.
There is a mild revolution in bows, and
they no longer appear at the back, but
assert themselves in distinct loops
which either stand out at the side or
erect above the face. Many of the straw
hats have crown Of one color and a
brim of another.
