CapOtes All Lace and Bloom

Capotes All Lace and Bloom.
 While the style in hats for summer run much to big sizes and picturesque shapes, the English walking hat being the only generally accepted exception still the capotes are as wee trifies as ever A much favorsd type of this sort of headgear is a triangular lace foun- dation almost hidden by flowers. A beautiful model of this kind is carried out with buttercups for a covering flower, and with black lace lifting from among the blossoms without giv- ing height to the plan, width being at present the only wear. Violets with black lace and trace of the green stems is suitable for an elderly beau ty, and a simply adorable affair ap-

RECIPROCITY.

The Democrats sheer at reciprocity, but the British Consul General at Ha- vana doesn't think that he or his coun- try can afford to. He tells his govern ment that British trade with Cuba has almost become a thing of the past; and under the recent reciprocity treaty the supplies all the wants of the island and receives all it's produce. Machinery, which was formerly largely supplied by England, Germany, France and Bel gium, now nearly all comes from the United States; and the machinery re- quired for the vast amount of sugar manufactured in Cuba is immense and of great value. The reciprocity treaty between Spain and the United States would appear to be mainly beneficial to the latter nation. Articles such as ma chinery, iron, steel, coal, etc, which for merly came principally from Europe and continue to pay duty when import ed from those countries, are admitted free of duty when coming from Amer ica, so that the former trade is fast disappearing, although some articles of English manufacture and of superior quality are still nhle to compete, not withstanding til" duty. The free ad- mission of Cuban sugar into the large markets of the United States is, of course, the great inducement for Spain to enter into an arrangement by which she sacrificed considerable portion of her customs revenue. The effect of the recent reciprocity treaty between the United States aud Spain in regard to her West Indian colonies has been to throw nearly the entire Cuban trade into the hands of the United States traders, with whom importers of goods from less favored nations cannot com- pete. having to pay, by the terms of such treaty, higher import duties. This is competent testimony. The British Consul General at Havana is not Democrat, but he knows some- thing about what is good for his country

One of the most curious trees in Ger many stands on the left bank of the River Oder, in Ratibor, Silesa. It is a maple, at least one hundred years old, which has been twisted and cut into 8 sort of circular, two-storied house. A flight of steps leads up to the first level, where the branches have been gradually woven together so that they make q firm leafy floor: above this is second floor of smaller diameter, formed in the same way; and the ends of the branches have been woven into solid walls, and cut so that eight windows light each of the apartments.

In Florida there is prospective wealth in river mud, or muck, as it is called down there. At the last session of the legislature charter was granted to . company to dredge or mine the sub- merged muck in the St. Johns river from the mouth of Lake George to the head of the river, and ill the tributaries of the St. Johns for a distance of six miles from the confluence. A contract has been made with a dredging concern to raise and prepare this muck for agri- cultural uses. The statement is made that when dried and pulverized it is in an available form to supply the vege- table mould needed in most soils. The promoters of the enterprise expect to find a ready market for the St. Johns river mud among farmers and truckers, and they hope to get rich by the sale of their new fertilizer. The dredging is to begin September at Lake Jesup.

An important decision has been ren- dercd by Judge Hastings of the Circuit court of Brown county, Wisconsin, showing that an agents knowledge does not constitute waiver ct the condi- tions of the standard fire insurance pol icy. In this case the insured had put a chattel mortgage upon the property without the knowledge and consent of the company in writing, and offered to prove that the agent knew of the trans action, and that his act constituted a waiver of the condition. The judge says that "a measure prescribed by law, the conditions of which could not be waived by the company itself, oer- tainly could not be affected by the acts of the agent. The plaintiff was bound to know the law and just what the terms of his contract were.'

The new tactics adopted for the army
contemplate the giving of commands by
whistle under certain circumstances,
instead of by word of mouth. Conse-
quently infantry officers have received
a intimation from the acting chief of
ordnance that they are expected to pro-
vide themselves with whistles at their
own cost. The order says:
THE major general commanding the
army, having approved the introduce
ton of whistle in the cross piece of
the guard of the sword for infantry Of
ficers, desries to inform you that the
commanding officers of Springfield
armory and Rock Island arsenal have
been instructed to make this alteration
as promptly as posi- BILE upon the receipt
of the arms. The cost, which will be
paid by the owner of the sword, will
be about 1915 each for lots of so or
more, but the expense will necessarily
be greater where work is conducted on
but few swords at a time. ~ Washing

THE ANGLER FISH.
IT Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, with
Regular Strategy.

It Secures Its Prey Like an Artist, with
Regular Strategy.
There is a FISH that secures its prey
like an artist, with regular strategy,
and, strange to relate, nature has fur
nished it with full equipment for the
purpose, rod, line and bait. The an
gler, as it is called, is by no means a
beauty. It is about yard long and
has huge, toadlike head, an enor-
nous, gaping mouth and a formidable
array of teeth. The first dorsal, or back
fin, is almost wholly wanting, its place
being occupied by two or three long,
slender, movable spines which are fas-
tened to the body by means of joints.
One is attached by hinge, which per-
mits of only backward and forward mo-
tion.
The first spine is connected by res-
ular ring and staple and admits of
movement in all directions, as it is pull
ed this way or that by the muscles.
This is the angler pole, which contin-
ues into fine filament OF line, and at
the end there is loose shining slip of
membrane, which plays the part of
bait.
The angler fish is slow swimmer, and
it would have but little success if it had
to chase the swift, active fishes upon
which it feeds, so it snares them. Par
TALLY hiding itself in the mud or sand,
it waves its long filaments with their
glittering tips. AS is well known, fishes
are attracted by glistening objects
moved about in the water. The neigh
boring fishes, following the instincts of
their inquisitiye nature, come to exam
inc the curious object, and suddenly
they find themselves snapped up in the
wide jaws of their hidden foe.
The angler is a very voracious crea-
ture, and on several occasions it has
been known to seize fish that had been
hooked and was being drawn to the
surface. In one such case the angler
seized a Goldfish and would not loosen
its grip until it was struck on the head
with boathook. On another occasion
the fish fell victim to its own glut-
tony, for having dashed at a conger eel
that had just been hooked, and having
taken it into its mouth, the eel con-
trived to escape through one of the gill
apertures, and thus it was the uncon-
scious means of involving its captor in
its own fate.
Even the cork floats on lines and nets
have been swallowed by the greedy
fish, and when taken in a net it de-
yours its fellow prisoners with perfect
unconcern. Mary NJ. Friend in Phila-
delphia Times.

would assist me. When I got there, he
told me he wrote the letter because he
wanted to see me. / couldn't do any

would rather do it among friends than
strangers, and so l decided to come
back. My sisters husband having died,
she was alone and wanted to come with
me. l hadn't any money, so we decid-
ed to walk. We left Dayton Dec. 3
and have walked every step of the 800
miles. Two nights we were without
fire, and only four nights have we slept
in houses. We make from 10 to 16

HARD ON ABSTRACT COMPANIES.
The Supervisors to Investigate
Into Mr.. Raney's Charges.
They Will Probably Refuse All Ad.
mittance in Future.
A Rule which Was Plsinly Broken
BY the Courthouse Hall Keep
er Something for the
Grand Jury.

The recent trouble caused by the ad-
mittance into the court house, upon
the occasion OF legal holiday, OF en-
ployees of the Los Angeles Abstract
company, and the refusal to extend a
similar courtesy to Mr.. Raney OF the
Second Street Abstract company will,
as it stands at present, end in causing
the greatest inconvenience to all COM
panies of a similar character.
As published exclusively in the HER
AID, Mr.. Raney was refused admittsnce
to the recorders Office on legal holt
day, while the Los Angeles company,
who had obtained no permission from
the supervisors, were allowed entrance.
The rule OF the building on the hill is
that no person, with the exception OF
heads of departments, shall be allowed
inside the court house without first
having obtained an order from the
board of supervisors.
The Los Angeles Abstract company
obtained paper signed by Recorder
Bray and Colonel Hewitt instructing the
hallkeeper to allow certain persons en-
ployed by the above mentioned company
into the building. They were allowed
so to enter in direct opposition to the
established rule, and Mr.. Rsney, who
had an equal right to have access to the
same offices, was informed he would not
be allowed to enter.
After investigating the matter thor
oughly it appeared to HERALD reporter
that the board of supervisors, actuated
by desire to accommodate. had been in
the habit of permitting the Los Angeles
Abstract company to transact their bust
ness in the recorders Office upon legal
holidays.
1t lie now stated that by reason of the
late unpleasantness the board OF super
visors will at an early date investigate
the subject, and in future will Issue
ukase by which all the abstract compa-
MES in the city will be forbidden the
privilege in the future.
This will undoubtedly be a severe
hardship upon them, as the time thus
gained is invaluable, a member of
prominent company declaring one legal
holidays work to be worth weeks ordi-
nary time, the building being free from
visitors and the deputies having more
time to attend to the wants of the
workers.
In the matter at present under dis
cussion the fault appears really to lie
with the doorkeeper, who under the ex-
isting rule, has no right to allow en-
trance to any person without permit
from the board of supervisors.
Mr.. Raney intends to bring the mat
ter to the notice of the present grand
jury, and the result will certainly be
sharp reprimand to some one.
pany had the right to pay county
official for working in a county office,
which was done in this case by the
abstract company, who paid Mr.. March
ant days wages to open the Office for
the admittance OF their employees.
1t appears that Mr.. Marchant was no
longer then in the service of the county
and Mr.. Raney should certainly have
been granted admittance.

NEW FIGHTING MACHINES.
Automatic Iron Soldiers That Can Shoot

Automatic Iron Soldiers That Can Shoot
Forty Times Minute.
A fighting machine or automaton SOL
der is the last work up to nowof civ
ilization. Nobody in future need risk
his life in battle-that is, if newspa-
per of Barcelona is not misinformed as
to the merits of new invention. Ac-
cording to that journal, the inventor
has offered it to the Spanish government
for use against the Moors in Melilla.
He is ready, for sum of e200, 900
sterling, to proceed to the seat of opera
lions at the head of 100 of the new
combatants.
The machine soldier is made of iron,
and he is set going by clockwork.
When wound up, he can fire 40 rounds
a minute, and he carries in his interior
large supply of ammunition. Should
he be captured by the enemy, he can be
blown to pieces by means of an electric
discharge acting upon a quantity of
dynamite stored in his head.
The paper seriously declares that the
capabilities of the new warrior have
been successfully tested before a COM
mittee of experts.

pany in north England, has shown won
derful powers i'll his occupation as pro-

the attributed powers of either the

which he is armed in all professional
operations. This evoked the following
from DR.. Mcclure, the chairman of the
Grinton company: II deny emphatically
that the lad is an imp9ster! He has been
tested time and again and has never
failed to locate veins of either mineral or
water, depending upon what the search
was being conducted for. The 'divining
rod which he holds only moves in obedi-
ence to the muscular contractions of his
hands and arms, and he can use rod of
any kind of wood or material, providing
it be what is known as good conductor
of electricity Another oddity about the
lad, and one of which l have never heard
in connection with water witching,' is
this: The lad habitually walks with his
hands clasped behind him, and as soon
as he steps upon the ground directly over
a mineral or water he is powerless to I'M
clasp them until he moves away from
the region of the lode or conduit. st.
