THE SUMMER COTTAGE.
son Mistakes That Are often Made m
 Its Construction.

Its Construct1On
 "Why is it. said city resident, "whc went out to look for a summer hoEne, ''that there seems to be so little sense of beauty and picturesqueness in the minds Of those who build summer cot tages? Why should it not be just as easy to make presentable dwelling as some of the awkward, unattraetiFe places that we see all over the country? Surely beauty is not so costly that one cannot have it in a small residence as well as u large one. Indeed, it IS the opinion of many that cottage may be the most picturesque dwelling imaglna- ble; but country architects appear to be sadly lacking in the knowledge of how to construct cottages and villas on the most approved lines. Angles are always expensive, yet we see little gables and corners, and undercuts and cuddy holes that have no apparent req son for being other than the desire 10 break plain expanse.
 "As a sample blunder one might men, tion country house built at consider able cost, but with the second story finished with sloping sides following the angle of the roof. What possible reason can there be in building house in such way practical good sense would be glad to discover. If one is lim- tied as to means, and must malze little go great way, this furnishes reason; but where people build for home, and intend to make a picturesque as well as a handsome house, there are no bet ter ways to produce the effect than to slope the side walls of the second story to follow the angle of the roof.
 "Dormer windows are another folly. They are much warmer in summer. are much more expensive to build and in every way less desirable, from the points either of beauty or utility, than the square, elean-cut finish. One may much better add porches or little bal comics, which are the most delightful of all additions to rooms, or put in bay windows, if it is desirable, to break up the severe lines; but whoever builds for common sense and practical notions, let them not indulge in the folly of a three-quarter second story cut up with slopes or a quantity of dormer windows that shut out great portion of the light and obstruet free circulation of air. This is especially important in sleeping-rooms, and it is in this portion of the dwelling that such accessories are likely to be found.
 "There is no more useful, practical and economical house than one built with two full stories and an attic, pro- vided one is able to build it. Every foot of space can be utilized, and there are no corners and irregularities to fit up and finish or to keep watch of and patch fn ease of leakage.
 .'1t is a well-understood fact that all of these additions are difficult to build so as to insure perfect waterztightness. As every one of these ornaments adds to the cost, the reason of their popu- larity is puzzle to all sensible, prae- tical builders and householders. ."--N. Y Ledger.

ish pride, this year above all years, will bring her best men to the front, and the brainiest, cleverest, swiftest. gamest oarsmen of England will be pitted against Yale. If. in the face of these conditions Capt. Treadway and his gal lant crew force the prov of their shell across the line at Henley in advance of all competitors, they will have achieved a victory unparalleled in the history of college sports.
 The course at Henley Is one mile and $50 yards in length The race will be practically a spurt from start to finish. As the Yale boys are used to four-mile stretches, they ought to be able to ne- gotiate the distance without difficulty. All they have to do is to study the river currents in which the Tyne abounds- and make the most of them. There are many fine crews upon both the Thames and the Tyne, but outside of the picked men of Oxford and Cambridge, the fa- nous Leander and London Rowing club eights-made up generally of uni versity graduates-will be their most dangerous rivals. They are men of brawn, brain, skill and unyielding cour- age, as we'll as rare experience.
 1 have prejudice in the matter; but, like the Saxon Cedric. drink to the strong in arms, be their nation what it may" 1 love honest, manly sport, and sincerely hope that the best men may win. EDWARD HANLoN.

handkerchiefs. Very fetching little bits of finery will they be, and very ap- propriate when used with the grass lawn gown which she will, perforce, be obliged to wear.
 That grass lawn gown-how far reaching are the materials from which it may be selected. If one is forced to economy she may secure the plain lawn at as low price as 15 cents. Not quite SO fine as one would have it, it is true, but such as will make up into quite d pretty gown. Or, if one is able to pay little better price, the plain material may be paid for all the way to a dollar a yard. After that comes the stripes

 How Revival Was Suddenly Closed In s
 Kansas Town.
 Bad Bili'' was a well-known charac- ter in the west, and there are many stor- ies told of his exploits, but one of the best has never been printed, and was re- lated to Star reporter by man who was present.
 Great Bend, Kan, now one of the best towns in the state, was at one time about the worst This was when it was a railroad terminus before Dodge City was established
 A travelling evangelist went to Great Bend and tried to start a revival. There were a few Christians in town and these all attended the first meeting, the only one of the unregenerate pres ent being Bad Bill" who took front seat. Everyone feared trouble when he walked into the church, but he sat quietly during the exhortation. The evangelist requested all who wanted to go to Heaven to stand up and every per son present except Bill arose. When they were seated again Bill got up, and, drawing two pistols, said:
 You all say that you want to go to Heaven. Now, anything can do to help this game along and give pleasure to the players I'm in for. You all want to go to Heaven and I'll give you as good chance as you'll ever have. The first man that gets up I'll give him ticket clean through without any stop-overs." The evangelist crawled under seat and the members of the congregation laid on the chairs
 Well" said Bill, q see that you wasn't in earnest, so we'll put out the lights and call this meetin' adjourned" One by one he shot out the lights and by morning the evangelist was on his way to Hutchinson, while the members of his congregation kept quiet and made no further attempts at holding a reyiv- al.-Washington Star.

OLD ELI lNYADES ENGLAND.
Edward Hanlan Discusses the Cona-
 ing Henley Regatta.
Yale Sends Out Noble Crew-But They Will Meet the Picked Men of All England, and British Pride
 Is Touched.
IcopYRIGHT. 1S96.l

YaIe's aquatic invasion of England next month will mark an epoch in row ing history. Any international struggle, be it on land or water, is always fraught with interest, but the Henley regatta of '96 is bound to be the most important sporting in amateur athletics that has ever taken place in either America or England Pride of race, the keen not to say bitter-spirit of rivalry be- tween the two greatest peoples of the earth will make itso. The unfortunate Cornell incident of '95 at Henley, the Dunrayen unpleasantness later, and the total rout of the visiting British ath- letes in New York last fall, coupled with the Venezuelan episode when feeling ran high between two strong nations, cannot fail to give zest, if it does not add acerbity, to the contest. Our "kin across the sea" are certainly in no very amiable mood, when sporting papers like the Field curtly tell the Yale uni versity navy they are not wanted in England. That conviction grows upon us when broad, liberal-minded man like Henry Labouchere--a keen ob- server of men and affairs, one whose finger is ever upon the public pulse-in lis journal, the London Truth, advises the lads from the Elm city to defer their visit for year. until the excite ment incident to this series of occur rences has subsided
 The rugged, iTdonitable spirit of "Old Eli's' sons is graudly displayed, when in the face of these discouraging facts they have determined witaout q single dissenting voice. to send an eight pared crew to Henley. and strive for all they are worth to accomplish what no American or other visiting crew has ever yet done-win the Grand Challenge cup. Four times have American uni versailles sent crews to Henley. Harvard was the pioneer in the movement, in 1869, and was beaten. In 1878 Columbia sent a strong four, which had the good

 Eating When Fatigued.

Everyone should know that to eat when tired is to place upon the diges- tive organs a burden which they are wholly unable to carry When the body is in state of fatigue, the diges- tive organs are unable to perform their natural functions; the glands of the stomach will not form gastric juice: the saliva is deficient in quantity; and the whole digestive apparatus is inca pabie of doing efficient work. When exhausted, one should rest before eat ing. If faint of "all-gone' sensation is experienced, relief may be obtained by drinking glass of hot water or diluted fruit juice of some sort.-Good Health.

A peep at the followingst will indicate the caliber of the men: George Langford (strolse), age 20 years, height 6 feet 1s inch. weight 175h pounds. Ralph B. Treadway (captain) No. T, age 22 years, height 5 feet 11A inches weight ITO pounds. John M. Longacre, No. 6, age 221a years, height 5 feet Ii inches, weight 175 pounds. Philip H. Bailey, No. 5, age 23 years, height feet, No. 1, age 911s years, height feet 11Hs inches, weight 1781a pounds. William M. Beard, No 3, age 20 years, height , feet sK inches, weight 162h pounds. AL exander Brown, No ?, age g years, height feet is inch, weight ITO pounds John H. Simson, bow, age 2215 years height 5 feet II inches, weight 160 pounds.
 Anyone who knows 8 jot about row ing can see how nicely the lads trim the boat It ought to move as smoothly as bicycle. Of this eight, Treadway, Langford and Beard are the skilled and tried veterans. All have been in fresh men races, and Beard and Treadway in two university crews. Langford has been in one, last year, when he was stroke as now All of the other boys either rowed in freshmen crews or at preparatory schools before coming to college.
 The crew is bit uneven in it's work as yet, but a month under the master coach, Rob Cook, will work wonders By the time they leave for England June 7-the rough edges will be taken off their work. They will reach Henley about June Is, and get to practice by the 17th. That will give them just three weeks preparation over there, for the Henley regatta is held on July 10, II and 1& A short time 10 get ready, you will say, but better than longer spell. if you don't get over there four or six months ahead of the event, so as to be- come thoroughly acclimated.
 Although Yale has an extraordinarily strong crew, they have no sure thing by any means. Indeed, she will be entitled to the greatest possible credit if she wins. Yale will meet the picked men of all England. Yale has but l 200 to draw from, while England has at least ten times that number to select from. These are not only from the universities and colleges, but from post-graduates (and their name is legion) and the trained athletes of the kingdom. Brit

and dots, ranging from one dollar and a half to three dollars yard Then tl.e embroidered ones. They are delicate. fiimsy, truly ravishing affairs, dear to the feminine woman, who foregoes the pleasure of having several gowns in her anxiety to secure one of that.
 Not only are the grass lawns so be- witching, but the Things of taffeta are as fascinating as any woman could wish. And as though the simmer of the silk through the lawn were not enough, lace must be introduced whel- ever there is a possible excuse, and brilliant stripe of color is the result.
 Another charming innovation intro dnced by the grass lawn gown is the or nament of batiste or grass linen em- broidery. These ornaments arc vari shaped-crescents, symmetrical bows, Greek crosses, feur de Iis-an q are used to adorn the skirts of grass lawn or batlste gowns. THE LATEST.

fortune to win the Visitors Challenge cup-the only victory, by the way, an American crew has won in England. Tn 1888 and 1895 Cornell sent crews and met disaster on both occasions.
 Although I have more than hinted that Yale may not, on account of exist ing conditions, meet with a very gra- cious reception in old England, I do not wish to be understood as saving that the gentlemen and sportsmen of the tight little isle would withhold from the boys that courtesy and fair play for which they are noted the world over Far from it. They will greet the Yale lads with open arms, and if their representatives are defeated will conceal their chagrin with well-bred po- likeness. 1t will be only from the hood lum element that the visitors need as- ticipate diseourteous treatment, and that will be confined to hisses and ieers, which never affect such hearts of oak and souls of iron as I am satisfied Capt Treadway and his men possess.
 Yale has selected an exceptionally strong crew--the strongest, I think they have ever had-to meet the picked men of all England. The average age is a fraction under 22 years-when men are at their fittest and best--the aver age height feet II 1-3 inches, and weight 171h pounds. This is an ex- traordinary average for eight men. They are but 2-3 of an inch below the height of the famous Dartmouth Gi- ants," who dwarfed the other 12 college crews at Saratoga lake in 1875, and ac- tually 1H pounds heavier. This plainly indicates the solidity of the men. Not one of them is muscle-bound, either, as usually obtains in the case of strong men. On the contrary their muscles are long, flexible and wiry. All as near ly as possible have the typical rowing arm. Every one of the eight has splendid chest development and fine ex- pansive power A glance at their faces will show you that they are game to their hearts core. If there is a single man in the crew who has a streak of yellow in him, then I am no judge of human nature I looked them all over few days ago. and they are q grand lot of boys. The five substitutes who go over to England with the eight are scarecely inferior in appearance to the regulars They are not quite as adept at the oar. but in other qualities-head, heart and endurance-they are not lacking.
 The height of the crew is almost uni form, varying g-with the exception of Beard, who is but feet s5 inches from feet Il inches 10 6 feet and F 'nch. That is fine point in their favor, as the reach of the crew will be pretty much alike. and their sweep even and rythmic. Even Beard. lacking as he $ in height. has long arms and good body, and his stroke will be in tune with the rest. He is built for all the world like John Teenler, and is just about as handy and as strong. T am told that he is the toughest and most endur- 'Dg mon in the bI t.

If not of dimity, house gowns are made of organdie or batiste. This means that they are very inexpensive. aud no. woman is debarred for eco nonica1 reasons from being very com fortable in her own room.
 1t takes about ten yards of material 10 make house gown, and very suitable batistes and dimities may be bought for from ten to eighteen cents yard. Or, if one prefers to buy the garmentready made, she may do so at any price from B cents to the double numbers.
 The favorite colors for house gowns are, first sea green, then lavender, then yellow The gowns are mainly trimmed with soft cream lace; indeed, it's use is quite indispensable to the proper, fluffy effect of the garment.
 Bishops sleeves, gathered above the wrist under a small turnover cuff, or long flowing sleeves. are best adapted to these gowns, while the collars may be shaped merely of a fall of lace, or may be broad sailors, opening in de- cided V in front

Variety in necl1wear shows 10 di- intuition as the season advances, neells being much adorned as ever. A charm ing innovation is point lace, tinted in delicate tones, for use with evening gowns. Stocks are still numerous, and the shops now offer handkerchief points by the yard, which enables one to buy as many points as she wishes.
 Perhaps the newest things offered are the faneif9l cuffs made to match high lv decorated collarettes. For instance, Medici collar of white satin is covered with a coarse white lace. A double ruff of chiffon stands up about the face. The cuffs match with the ruff of chiffon falling over the hand.
 There are fewer vests than formerly, most bodice ornaments being in the shape of yokes. For wash dresses there are collars of lawn, with fine tueks, fin ished with Russian yelling. Others have a deep frill of embroidery, while still others have insertions and founces of guipure Grass lawn makes perhaps the prettiest yoles of the season, and is very effective when combined with white or some daintily tinted rib bon. With all her advantages. to be perfectly irresistible, the summer girl of '96 needs but necl1wear and 2 plenty of it.
