THE rOWN ELECTIONS.

As usual, there is some cheer for
 everybody - including prohibitionists and Woman-in the reports from the
 town elections in this State. But it
 cannot be fairly denied that the Re- publicans are entitled to three cheers for the part they played in the voting. They have substantially held the won derful gains they made last year. It
 was not expected by anybody that they
 would do any better than this, and few expected that they would do as well.
 It is the custom for the leaders of the party that makes a poor showing in these elections to say that they don't amount to much as indications of the state of political opinion. During the next few days the Democratic leaders will be busy explaining how their fol- lowers didn't happen to be any more conspicuous and influential But they will find it hard to explain, on any theory that will seem suitable for their use, how the Republicans have man aged to be so unpleasantly conspicu- ous and unanimous. Probably the truth is that the people became so sick of
 Democracy that they haven't yet got through spewing it out at every oppor- unity If their sickness becomes chron- ic it will be good thing for the nn11ntru

nIg rlowe . on lt.gger Hats.


 The sailor hat that is made of felt strips woven like straw tlourishes, and is found with a wide hrim and a low, small crown, It is trimmed with a band of ribbon or velvet and about the brim is drawn veil that bags the wearer's chin. Though the effect has been stylish for many seasons, stylish it will be again, if only veil, hat and girls are all fresh and confident look ing, Some of the more showy between season hats are extremely pretty, as can be seen by consulting this picture, which shows a hat of wired chenille with a wide brim narrowing towards the back, and low crown. It's trim ming consists of spreading loops and ends of wide, double-faced black satin ribbon that form a full bow at the left side. while the front is filled in with full rosette of wide black chantilly lace.

 4 NEyY LIGHT.

When electricity first came into use for lighting purposes many thought that the use of gas for light, except in a small way, was doomed. But gas lis still conspicuous in the dark, and there has been such an improvement in the quality of gaslight that electricity doesn't outshine it to any very damag- ing extent. Now the important news comes that our old. and odorous friend, kerosene oil, which has lately been overwhelmed by the brilliancy of both electricity and gas, is about to step into the front rank as lighter. A new system of obtaining light from petro- leum has been invented, and Is now in limited use in Europe. which prom ises, if it can be adapted to household and civic purposes, to rival results thus far looked for from electricity. By automatically heating the vapor of kerosene, and burning this vapor or gas when generated in a heated state, it is found possible to produce light of intense brilliancy, having an H. luminating power, contingent somewhat upon the size of the flame, from $500 to 14,0o0 candle power, and penetra- ton sufficient to enable one to read small type at distance of 360 feet from the flame. The use thus far made of this light has been for military pur- poses, as 1t secures means of illumina- ton which can be introduced and used at small expense and delay, but it is al- together probable that the modern Won- der-workers will soon fix things so that the new light can be used wherever it is needed.
 With gas and kerosene in the same rank with electricity as light-givers we don't see what remains except for some ingenious man to find out something that will give one candle ten or fifteen thousand candle power IS lighter.

where the orim is held up with roses pink, red, ruby, mauve or cream colored with equal good taste.
 This proportion of color does not prevail generally, for many fall hats are gorgeous in their bloom Gilly flowers, hollyhocks, carnations and a sore of glorified sun flower, all in ex- aggerated sizes, are being presented for the trimming of hats. When one sees the flowers the wonder is what is going to become of the hat, but large as the blossoms are, they are generally ar ranged to appear in good proportion with the rest. Dahlias are another flower that is used The fact is that the hats are so big that there is need for the tree-like flowers, for the poor little things, like violets or roses, would be lost.
 Small hats are shown that serve all occasion of informal use. They are lit tie pointed crowns that rest on the very top-center of the head, and there is wire brim wide enough to extend over the rest of the top of the head. The brim is entirely smothered under a fiat wreath of ivy leaves interwound with roses or other flowers, and the flowers rest closely against the head, setting we'll down about the ears. The little crown hardly shows, the first ef- feet being that of the theater bonnet worn so much last winter. These hats are very becoming, they allow veil and when cherries or entrants are used instead of flowers and there is a loop or so of ribbon, the autumn eff feet Is charming. FLORETTE.

SOME SPRING CHICKENS.

The man who can make one blade of grass grow where none grew before is a. public benefactor, and so is the man who can have some new innocent fun. w. r. Haynes, of the State of Wash ington, is a farmer who does much good in the grass and alfalfa line, but his chief claim to public notice and praise lies in what he has managed to do with some chickens. He likes his chickens and they like sunflower seeds. Sun flowers in the glorious climate of the State of Washington grow to such a height that even the enterprising chick ems of the State can't reach the seeds for which they sigh. MT. Haynes is an ingenious man and he likes fun. He sat himself down and figured how he could bring his chickens and the sun- flower seeds together without cutting down the sllnfiowers or putting the chickens on stilts After long pondering he concocted a plan which stamps him as a man of resources. He built a number of delicate spring-boards and carefully set them at the proper dis tance from the sunfowers. He has trained his chickens so that each will run with all it's might, strike spring board in the proper way, bound through the air with the greatest of ease, snatch a seed from a sunflower, and come down as gracefully as the circus man who bounds from a spring-board, turns 9 triple summersault over seven ele- plants and comes down on a mattrass.
 It is said to be a great sight to see those chickens earning their daily sun- flower seeds and their right to be called spring chickens. MT. Haynes has laughed so much while watching them that he is taking anti-fat, and the neighlbors who are privileged to see the performance don't feel the need of any of the new farce-comedies of the sea son.

A new and simple "cure for head ache" is made known by the Boston Journal, which says that an apostle of physical culture says that an excellent and never-failing cure for nervous head ache is the simple act Of walking back ward. Ten minutes is as long as $ usually necessary to promenade. I. sometimes, however, requires more than ten minutes to walk at all, # one is very nervous" But it :s not under stood that it is necessary to walk a chalkline. Any kind of walking will do, provided it is backward. T. is well to get in long, narrow room, where the windows are high, and walk very sicwly, placing first the ball of the foot On the floor, and then the heel. Be- sides curing headache, this ex- ercise promotes a gracesul carriage. 4 half hours walk backward every dey will do wonders toward producing a graceful gait.
