announcement is already made that next summers dresses are to be some what low in the neck, and so a hand some shawl or scarf will be always useful. Their value with such a gown as this is apparent. The skirt here Is of the stiffened sort that is the only wear just now, and is entirely plain The material is turquoise blue silk and for the bodice is draped over a fitted lin- ing, formed in cross-over fronts, the drapery over the shoulders extending across the plain back, being there held in place by rhinestone bands put on as indicated. A white satin ribbon with long flowing ends Is used for a belt and Is fastened by a gold arrow studded with diamonds. The short but very full puffed sleeves are of heavy white satin.
 A great many summer gowns are be- ing made with bodice fitting to just be- meath the bust line. The skirt worn attaches itself to the bodice at this point, and is gored to fit the figure as precisely as a bodice might from this point down to below the hips. The ef- feet is much that of a princess gown, but not so trying, and as a model for simple garden and housedresses, where the figure is to be given a degree of freedom from restraint, this is to be FLORETTE.

Richly Garbed in silks and Laces.

In some circles of society that pre- tend, at least, to be exclusive, it Is con sldered desirable to be able to refer back to grand parents of respecta- bility. But nowadays the fashionable dame doesn't stop after ascertaining if "she has a grandmother" but with breathless interest pushes her inquiry and whispers, 'had her grandmother a lace shawl?" Truly, the. old time lace scarf and shawls are very valuable now, for such accessories are to be generally worn, and those that show signs of age without wear are highly valued. The use of these shawls is by no means confined to costumes of the showy sort pictured here, because the

No one should be permitted to hold valuable lands with out paying to the community the annual value of privilege thus accorded. From the fund so obtained all ordinary ex- penses of government should be paid. We would abolish all local, state and national taxation, except tax upon the value of lands, exclusive entirely of improvements, to be collected by local governments, and a portion paid to State government; national revenues to be raised by a direct tax upon States, and to come from the States portion of local taxes.

If a scientific German is to be be- hieved, oysters are greatly in need of protection. He has discovered that an oyster egg has only 1-1, 145,0 booth of a chance to reach maturity when exposed to natural conditions. A pinch of sand may destroy the tiny life of the young oyster, and the possibility of bringing to maturity larger proportion of the eggs lies in the ability of the oyster planter to modify natural conditions so as to protect the puny oyster from the dangers that surround it.

A shaft into the bowels of the earth Is proposed by M. Paschal Grousset as the sensation for the exposition of 1900. His plan is an inversion of the idea of the Eiffel tower. Elevators will carry the public down the shaft; at intervals there will be restaurants and concert rooms, decorated so as to harmonize with the temperature, which will in- crease with the depth, as far as 2,1OO feet below the surface. Beyond that point, as the heat will be too great for comfort, narrower shaft is to be driv- en for scientific purposes only to hepth greater than has ever yet been ob- tained, possibly 5000 feet.

The catch Is a. valuable one in good seasons, and marshes are rented for the muslsrat catching privilege. All crossroads storekeepers deal in the belts, and the Delaware legislature was once asked to enact a law for the protection of the 1nuskrat, so that the species might not become extinct. The meat of the crea- lure is sold in the Wilmington street market and served as marsh rabbit.

Tho Smart Jack Tar.

The average bluejaCket as l knew him
long ago was always a good fellow, but
you seldom knew where to have him. He
was unquestionably drunken fellow, and
he used to manage to get dead drunk faster
than any other class of men with whom
have ever been acquainted. He was not
steady. Apart from his officer he seemed
almost reed shaken with the wind,
though his personal courage was always
lionlike when reused he was proud of
his officer, especially if the officer was hard
on him. He was somewhat of a fatalist
quick to imagine that fate was against
him and to give up the struggle against IT,
He was quarrelsome in his cups but al.
most always distinctly witty out of them.
He preserves his humor to the present day.
The stories about frying watches and
lighting pipes with R5 notes give an utter
ly false notion of the bluejacket. Philip
drunk might have done such things, but
not Philip sober. Philip sober has always
been and is peculiarly sharp and thrifty
about money. Philip sober 40 or so
years ago took wonderful care of the pence,
and he does so still. But 40 or so years
ago he was filed with an ignorant sus-
picion of every one who had to do with his
money, and who did not play upon his
fancies. He has got over that now per-
haps pretty we'll but no one of his rank of
life makes closer calculations or drives q
better bargain than the developed blue
jacket of today.-Admiral Colomb In

AN ENGLISH BREAKFAST.

Good One For All Concerned.
It is characteristic of most English
homes in which have been a guest that
once a day the whole family, including the
servants, meet together for morning pray
ers, says a correspondent Of The Outlook
What is perhaps more significant is the
substantially universal arrangement of the
breakfast so as to reduce to a minimum
the friction on the servants of conflicting
duties. We all know that the morning
hours are the most precious ones for house
hold work, and that household is happiest,
in this respect, in which the necessary
preparations for the day are earliest COM
pleted.
But in the American home the waitress
must take an hour out of this precious
morning to wait on the breakfast table,
and then hurry through her own breakfast
and drive perhaps half distracted, through
the forenoon to get her mornings work
done before Midday dinner or u lunch
which is its equivalent. And it is an even
chance that Harry comes down late to
breakfast, and instead Of paying, as he
ought, the natural penalty of his laziness
by eating cold breakfast, has the table
cleared and lew breakfast set for him.
In England and Scotland the breakfast is
set upon the table or upon the sidoboa7d
or both, the bell is rung, and the break
fasters holp themselves and each Other,
while the servants take the time to make
the house ready for the day. Thus, while
English homs life starts at least an hour
later than American home life-a usual
breakfast hour in England is 9 O'clock
England easily catches up with America
before noon, and both mistress and servant
are saved the worry Of hurried work and
conflicting duties And If Harry comes
down late he gets, as he ought, a cold

wanted to Kin the Old Man.

"Uncle Billy Elliott, an old and inoffen-
sive man, came into Justice Cooks court
yesterday afternoon and swore to an informa-
ton charging William Flynn with assault
with intent to commit mur:er. The alleged
assault was made at Manawa On the 18th
inst. Both men are employed by the Nc
Laughlin brothers, who are experimenting
with a new brake on the Manawa railway
trains, Flynn in the car shop and Elliott as
cook for the gang Of men engaged on the
work. The trouble is said to have originally
grown out of sectarian differences between
the men, and grew little by little into a
serious quarrel. There were outsiders wiling
to interfere and aggravate the quarrel and
Flynn was told that the old man was trying
to get him discharged by carrying stories to
the McLaughlins. Flynn, 1t seems, undertook
the job Of frightening the old man out Of
the camp, and on Monday morning threw an
axe at him, which Elliott says would have
stopped in his stomach If he had not jumped
aside. Monday after dinner, according to
Elliotts story, Flynn resorted to sterner
measures, and while the old man was engaged
in washing the dishes he went into the tent
with a loaded revolver and fired three shots
at him in rapid succession, Elliott says
Flynn was terribly excited and he attributes
the fact that he was not killed 10 the shaky
condition OF the shooters nerves.
These were the statements communicated
to the justice in support Of Elliott's demand
fer a warrant for Flynn. Elliott says Flynn
made additional threats against his life yes
terday morning, and so thoroughly convinced
was he that he meant to kill him that he
threw up his job and came to town. A war
rant was issued for Flynn's arrest and an
officer went down after him. He was ar
raigned shortly before 6 O'Clock and denied
utterly the truth Of Elliott's story, declaring
that there had been no quarrel between them,
no threats and positively no shooting. He will
try to convince the court today that the old
man has been romanc,ng and dreaming.
