china, are perhaps the prettiest, al

All white ones are also very effective,
trimmed with blue and white braid and
tassels, also touched with blue, with
blue nails, the latter being covered with
fine Bolton cloth. The white linen braid
and tassels may be made to match the
material by working in cotton of the
same color as the covering. The sketch

theater, for summer dancing or for a
picnic the veil is fastened ON in the

now they are veiled, and it is the curve
of the cheek that is prominent, again it
is the dimple of the chin And the pass

the demure veil is pinned straight across
the hat brim and drawn to the knot at
the back Of the head and tied there, the
new feature being the way the trimming
upon the hat brim is placed over the
veil If there is jeweled bug, he holds
the veil upon his antenna, and if flow
ers are there the veil falls beneath them.

insisted on his minister of justice taking
measures TO suppress this expense
The minister held consultation with
the president Of the tribunal, and the
two agreed that the Office Of jailer might
be abolished. Tho prisoner, required to
guard himself all alone, would not fail
to escape, and this would solve the
question to the satisfaction of all
The jailer was thereupon sent back to
his family, and one of the under cooks
of the palace was simply required to
carry, morning and evening, food to the
prisoner. But that gentleman made no
attempt to recover his liberty.
One day indeed when they had failed
to provide him with nourishment he
coolly presented himself to claim it, and
henceforth it was his custom, in order
to save the cook a journey, to come at
meal hours and eat with the servants Of
the palace, with whom he had become

would enter the Casino and risk a few

not for the condemned man, but for his

The supreme court was dumfounded.
The prince flew into terrible rage and
ordered them to act.

to celebrating.
The outcome was it was decided they

The first trial for attempted suicide
ever held in New York took place few
days ag). The case was very pathetic.
The prisoner was a young girl of good
family, who had eloped and been desert
ed. In her despair she had swallowed
poison. She pleaded not guilty, strange
ly enough, as though she feared the law
more than death. Her story was sad
enough to tip the scales of justice, and
size was declared not guilty. Tile suicide
law seems to be a particularly hard one
for the New York authorities to enforce.

The Sun viii Shine.

From the Sylvania Telephone.
One of our Georgia evening plpers
has for some time been floating nearly
every day this single EDITORIAL line-"The
Sun Will Shine" Somewhere on its
editorial page you will always run upon
it, and every time it makes you feel bet
ter for having seen it. 1t is a healthful
and happy sentiment, and if the editor
did no more than just keep this one
bright line constantly before his readers,
where they would come upon it amid
the news and gossip of the day, he
would be doing them good work.
Yes, the sun will shine. Though it
may be dark and gloomy for "a season and
we can see no silver lining to the cloud,
yet it cannot always last. The deeper
the gloom the brighter will be the blue
of the sky when the heavy curtains are
uplifted. Yes, the sun will shine. There
is something in us that whispers of a
fairer future. Else why This patient
endurance, this cheerfulness through
the night that seems so long and dark
and dreary? Even now the birds of the
morning have commenced to sing their
matin songs and we are about to emerge
into brighter day. The sun has never
ceased to shine. 1t may be obscured for
a season, but it will not fail us.

A BAD Law PROPOSED.

The Atlanta papers report that the ex.
ecutive committee of the Georgia Weekly
Press Association has favorably consid-
cred a proposition to urge the legisla-
ture to pass bill authorizing the judges
of the superior court to designate in
what papers legal advertisement shall be
published
1t is safe to say that the matter will
receive but little, if any, serious consid'
Grafton. There is no demand for such a
law so far as has been discovered, outside
of a few publishers who have, through
the lottery of politics, lost the official
printing of their counties and now want
the legislature of the state to come to
their rescue.
There are many objections to this pro-
posed law, and the Macon News strongly
p resents one of them in this:
''The law would be a bad one. 1t
would place in the hands of the judges a
power which they should not have.
With many of the papers in Georgia the
county printing means the difference be-
tween life and death, and if a judge
chose to use the power which such a law
would give him he could effectually put
stop to legitimate criticism of his acts
by most of the influential papers in the
circuit. 1t is pretty certain, too, that the
very Judges most subject to criticism
would be those who would use this pow
err
The Albany Herald is also opposed to
a change in the existing law, and, after
endorse ny what the Macon News says,
adds:
''I5 would be hard toimprove the pres
ent law with reference to legal adveTtis-
ing in this state. The law regulates the
charges of rates, and the sheriff of each
county selects or appoints his official or
gan. The man who can hold the Office
of sheriff in this state for any cOnsidera.
BILE length of time is very apt to be one
who is trustworthy, and his position is
one which keeps him in close touch with
the people. He naturally wants Whatev-
Ell he does IN an official capacity sus-
tanned by the public opinion of his
county, and he is, therefore, going to Sc
lect the best and most popular paper"
A great majority of the papers which
have expressed an opinion about the
proposed change are opposed to it..
What public good would be derived from
such a measure has not been stated,
and it would be difficult undertaking
to attempt to do so. The present law
has stood the test of time, and will
doubtless be on the statute books for
many years to come.

THOSE BUGS AND WORMS
TIL at ave Been After the Watermelon
Plants.

A Washington dispatch announces
that Mr.. Colquillett, entomologist of the
department of agriculture, has recently
returned to Washington and reported
upon his examinations of the watern ell
on fields in Southern Georgia. The
black bug, which was thought to be
damaging the plants, proves to be the
plain ordinary dung beetle. 1t had
evidently been attracted TO the plants by
the fertilizer used and was doing no
damage. The principal insect damage
to the melons appears to have been by
wire worms and cut worms. 1t is not
likely that this damage will continue to
any serious extent. Any field broken up
from sod or land, upon which grass has
been allO to grow to any degree
during the past season, is liable to con-
tain numbers of wire worms and cut
worms. In preparing land for melons
in the futurs the department says grow
ers will find it of great advantage to
ploT it in the fall, early rath than
late, and leave the land bare during the
winter.
Mr.. Colquillett saw evidence of dis
ease among the melons not due to in
sects, and information concerning this
matter has been transmitted 70 Prof.
Galloway, chief of the division of veg
etable pathology of the department,
