4 CHEAT CHANGE IN ENGLAND.

Agriculture is suffering in this coun- | try, but it is no better off in England. | The Englishmen who have great es- tates are in trouble because of the de- cline in agricultural prosperity which
 brings with 1t a decline in their rents.
 A Frenchman, Baron D. de Mandat-
 Grancey, has been studying English
 country life and he has made some as tonishing and depressing discoveries.
 He points out that it is the custom of
 many persons in England to fill the first
 pages of the register of their estates with a rent roll, enumerating the farms
 which constitute the domain, with the price at which the farms are assumed to be leased. But these assumed prices are constant prices, while the actual re- turn may be something quite different, and hence, while a farm may be inscrib- ed on the rent roll as bringing in re-
 turn of say, 400 pounds sterling, or $2,000 per annum, there will have been made reduction of 40 per cent, so that the real return received by the proprietor will not amount to over $1,200. He asserts that he knows one landed proprietor who has rent roll amounting to $175,OOO year, but who obtains from this alleged large income a net annual return of only $6 ,0OO and the use of a little gothic chateau which is on the estate, and which was built by an ancestor at a time when the agricultural affairs were in a more hourlshing condition. Another proprie
 tor, having an estate of about 4.OOO acres, receives from it less than $3,5OO year, or less than dollar an acre of net revenue. Lord Leicester, at a meeting of the Royal Agricultural Society, said in effect: "My grandfather, my father and I have spent during the last thirty years on our hereditary domain, in round num-

No matter what she puts on, a pretty woman is going to be slightly. It is ne cessary only that she should not look strangely different from the other girls that her prettiness may be recognized, So it is that all tumble unto the same fashions with htful frenzy, Harmony being thus secured, beauty gets its in- variable recognition. All the same, the Madonna girl and the big girl with rather heavy features and fine eyes is having her time just now.
 It's pair of fine eyes that look out at you from this picture, out 1t is the toque above them that is to be de- scribed. It is of sapphire blue velvet, which is arranged in a series of puffs and loops in front and around the brim, diminishing in size at the back, On either side, toward the front, feath- cry aigrettes are placed.
 A pretty variation on the neck ruche binds big roses together in a strand of bright ribbon. The ribbon ties in front under the chin, is fitted smoothly in at the collar and sweeps stiffly and prim- ly over the blouse front, turning under with it to tuck in at the belt Cores bonding bands are added at each side and fit closely Almost all the new bodices will show this effect or some modification of it. Very slender wo- men may try the bodice bloused in the back as well as in the front, but the ex- pertinent is risky for anybody but 9 bean pole' FLORETTE.

SKATING IN TITE TENS.
Turn Races in Whlc1, the Turn is some thing Worth eing.
 rErnm Rallis Mn.s arp. IF |

The manner in which skating competi- tions are carried out in the Fens-the
 home of the speed sl1ater-is not gener- ally known outside of dyke land A course is marked out on one of the dykes, or on one of the washes, and a quarter mile course has to be covered four times-that is, out and home twice, which involves three sharp turns. Two barrels mark the starting and turning points, and in each of these is placed flag to more readily mark their position. The skaters usually run in pairs, the winners of a heat meeting in the sub sequent heat until the winner is found. The competitors are placed one on each side of the starting barrel, and are ex- pected to keep on the side of the track allotted to them-there is no taking an- others water as in rowing. When the turning barrel is reached the man on the right-hand track must turn to the
 left and he on the left track must turn to the right,
 To those not accustomed to see these races the turning appears nothing less than marvellous, The men strike until almost up to the barrel, and then sud denly put on a brake by turning nearly broadside on, planting the heels down firmly. At first it seems impossible that the momentum can be checked the crowd is probably within ten yards of the barrel but they stand there un- moved, as they know that in less than that distance the turn will be effected, and it is. The stopping turns the skat- CT into position to start back over the course; but it has been accomplished by a strain which shows how firm are the ankles, boots, and skates, for if either gave way there would be a mighty downfall. The Norwegian method of turning Is accomplished on a wide course, putting more work on to one

An Irish national musical festival to be called the Feis is to be established in Dublin. Its objects are to give an op- portunity to hear Irish music, particu- larly the old tunes, given in the tradi- tional manner, to encourage the publi- cation of old Irish airs not yet set down in writing; to sing songs in Gaelic and to encourage a new Irish school of com posers. The committee in charge con- sistss Of Irish musicians, with pr. Vil- Hers Stanford at their head, and of members of the National Literary socie- ty and of the Gaelic league. The plan of the festival Is somewhat after that of the Welsh Eisteddfod.

Perhaps homing pigeons will soon be used by big ocean steamers to convey news of accidents or delays, such as have occurred to several of the trans Atlantic liners of late. The plan has been discussed in shipping circles ever since the accident to the machinery of the Gascogne. Among those well post ed on the subject of water-fying is D. E. Newell, a lumber dealer in New York. He has had lofts for his private amuse- ment for thirty years, and during that time that flown birds over sea and land in many contests. q calculated said MT. Newell, "that If the Gascogne were enabled to send out homing pigeons af- ter fierce storm had abated, news of her safety would have reached this port three days before it did, On the Saturday before she was reported she was only 500 miles from New York, and that distance could have been cov- cred by a homing bird in seven or eight hours. There are pigeons that have records of 700 to LOGO miles day, and this despite adverse weather"

American Women in Dutch Bonnets.

American Women in Dutch Bonnets.
 The bonnet whose plumes stand straight up to great height from a modest Dutch band looks a good deal like Fiji headdress, but if it be styled Dutch bonnet, the suggestion of the South Seas is not amiss. For, be it known, the Dutch bonnet is on top in a double sense; 1t reigns throughout the country and women find it universally becoming, too. Isn't it funny women are so modest? They confess with de- light that each fashion proves becom- ing, instead of realizing that it is their own everlasting charm that is proven.

New uses for aluminium are being found. It is now used in the decoration of wall papers, many beautiful eoneep- tions being shown in which this metal is a. conspicuous feature. Tn floral strip ed effects the motives are printed on beautiful embossed grounds, which gives a furnished effect to the alum
 inium that is very desirable. An eff fective arrangement of daisies and fern leaves around the metal line is said to make choice decoration for parlor or bedroom The use of aluminium with colors, with or without the addition of gold. is spoken of as another special feature of this new class of papers.

Captain Sopiel Selmore, tribal chief of the Passamaquoddies, was recently elected to the Maine branch of the So- ciety of the Sons of the American Revo- hutton. He is not only the descendant of patriot, but one of the few living sons of Revolutionary hero, his fath- CT, Captain Selmore Soctomah, having been one of band of fifty Indians who captured an armed British schooner in Passamaquoddy Bay during the Revo- 1ution and delivered her to Colonel John Allen, the American commander. He was also engaged in scouting duty dur ing both the Revolutionary and 1912 wars. The great-grandfather of Cap tain Selmore was one of the few sur yivors of the massacre at Norridge- wock.

The citizens of Avon Park and Haines City, Florida, forty miles apart, have decided to build a railroad with wood radls, which are large enough to be laid so that they will be half-imbedded in the sand, without other ballast. They are to be held in position by wooden pins inches in diameter and IS inches tong, while the ends are connected by plank couplers placed underneath and held by pins. Not a pound of metal will be used in construction of the track Most of the ''rails" will be fur nished gratis by property-owners along Hhe right of way. The company believes that in a few years the fruit, vegetable and passenger business over the route will pay for regular steel rails, when the others will be used for ties. A small steam dummy will furnish power for the road.

JUVENILE GAMBLERS CAUGHT
They Lived In Tent and Played Craps for
Luck

A certain number of the youths of Los
Angeles decided that they would initiate
the example shown them by those of
more mature years. These precocious
boys, after mature consultation, decided
that tickle fortune could best be won
by chance.
They established rendezvous in back
yard on north side of First, street, west Of
Los Angeles. There tent was erected,
formed of rough bagging and lighted by
the rays of a lantern. Several packs of
cards, number of dice and large as
sortment of poker chips were procured.
Every night number Of the youths in
that locality would assemble and gamble.
Last night Officers Walker and Baker de-
cded that the good times OF these juven-
lies should be stopped. They suddenly
appeared on the scene and captured eight
OF the would-be tin-horn gamblers. The
boys arrested were Ed McIntire, Nelson
Williams, Ray Manuel, Willie Pottorff,
Ross Pottorff, Henry Pottorff, Roy Man
uel and John Harden, who are now await
ing the disposal of their cases today in
Police Court.

fitness Of each particular lady was dis
cussed and it was agreed that the list con-
tanned fair representation of the grace,
beauty and intellect of this city.
The interest in the contest has naturally
been increased, and notwithstandingt that
the mails were not as promptly distributed
in the boxes yesterday as during week
days, quite number Of additional cou-
pons were received.
No better evidence of the general public
approval of the coupon system could have
been given than the receipt of letters from
The Needles, Santa Barbara and Ventura
containing ballots for ladies in this city.
Many OF these letters are by ladies from
these towns, in which they express them
selves'as highly gratitied with the method
adopted by The Herald and stating that,
in their opinion, the selection of Queen
should be made through the medium of
the ballot box.
The most striking feature OF the con-
test, however, is the total absence of
jealousy. 1t seems to be the universal be-
lief that the honor should be granted to a
lady who is resident OF Los Angeles.
Incidental to the interest excited in the
voting contest is the selection of maids of
honor, who, next to the queen, will be
the prominent and attractive personages.
The Queen will be given a voice in this
matter and, naturally, her desire is to see
ner' CLOSEST lrlenuS snare tne nOnorS With
her. ~
1t has been suggested that the royal
ress should be ordered from the dress
maker at least three weeks before the
Queen takes possession of the, government
of the city, but it can be stated upon good
authority that not more than ten days is
required to prepare the trosseau.
The Queen will not have as easy time
as people imagine and the social functions
she will have to attend and superintend
will keep her very busy. She will also be
obliged to make several speeches from the
throne and therefore should be possessed
of considerable oratorical talent. y 9'T
The voting will cease on the last day of
this month and it is therefore necessary
to send to send the coupons as soon as
possible to La Fiesta Editor, Herald
office
