puf11ngs and flowers, the majority are with
out trimming and are of changeable flow
cred, checked or striped silk.
There has been a return to hats and bon
nets of drawn tulle and mousseline de Sole
These are very delicate and light and are q
pretty accompaniment to dainty summer
gowns Roses are seen in great abundance,
and dahlias and hydrangeas are also in evil
dence. The dahlia is flower easily copied
in muslin, silk or velvet-it Is naturally SC
regular solid and stiff - but when the
fabric employed happens to be peacock blue
in color, as is now sometimes the case, the
eye refuses to be satisfied with the imita-
ton. More or less tall trimming is still
worn, consisting Of erect feathers, quilts
or sprays or wired loops of gauze or tulle.
Accordion plated glace silk is used in the
shape of wings, and tulle Is universally
employed, sometimes in two or three col
ors together, sometimes in one color, as
veil over flowers.
Hats are coming farther and farther for
ward, and the trimming at the back, I'M
der the brim, Is consequently becoming
more massive.
An illustration Is given of a pretty little
hat for a very young woman. 1t is of
coarse mixed straw in tones of iris, green
and straw color The crown, which Is
moderately high, is surrounded by IL
white, leafless roses, pressed fiat against 1t.
AT the left side is a bow of black velvet
and satin ribbon with upright loops and
an erect cluster of iris flowers and foliage.

MATERIALS AND STYLES.

Silk Striped Linens-Barege and Crepe de
Chine-Decollete Bodices.
Among the varieties of linen lately put
out by the manufacturers are some show
ing fine silk stripes running lengthwise, in
straw, blue, pink and similar bright col
ors. Others are sprinkled with flowers
worked in silk or fax. Costumes of either
plain or fancy linen often have wide belt
of glace or lowered taffeta.
Barege is worn largely, and there is a
wide choice Of styles. Among the prettiest
ones are those having warp design of
printed flowers. These are made over a
colored silk lining, with girdle of the
same sort of taffeta. There are also some
very attractive plaids in rich colors.
Crepe de chine is to be in great favor
this year. A number of gowns have been
seen entirely composed of this fabric.
Black, gray and beige alpacas are well
liked for useful summer toilets. They often
have revers of white pique and belt OF
silk or leather.
Young girls and young women wear
decollete bodices over guimpe or chemi
settle of embroidery, lace, linen and similar
fabrics. This decolletage assumes a great
variety of form. The opening may bt
square, round or of fanciful form or may
give fichu effect.

ments-New Professor-New De-
partment-Water Supply.

Present were Minister Cooper, Pro-
fessor Alexander, Mr.. Bowen, Mrs.
Dillingham;, Mrs. Jordan, Inspector
General Townsend and Deputy In
spector John +. Scott.
A schedule of salaries for teachers
was adopted. 1t makes the maximum

sor Edgar Wood of Cornell had been
engaged to teach elementary science

had already arrived. Action approved.
Messrs. Townsend, J. f. Scott, Pro-
fessor Alexander and Professor NJ. NJ.
Scott were appointed a temporary
board to supervise and conduct the eN-
aminations for certificates, which will
begin next Wednesday.
An offer from Lahaina plantation TO
pay $500 for water privilege owned
by the school there was declined. 1t

might cause friction and trouble.
1t was decided to pay Professor
Dresslar the sum of $500 for his eX-
penses from California and two days
work in the Summer School.
Miss Crook was voted $50 for ex-
penses while performing certain work
for the department at Hilo.

permission to fit up the old kitchen at
the High school to be used as a class
room for Professor Woods classes in
chemistry and physics. Also for ma
terials, books, etc, required for that
department of the school. Allowed
and 5000 appropriated for the purpose
At p. m. the Board adjourned.

Electric
Company.

The cleanest, brightest safest and really,
in the long run, the cheapest and best light
for use in the family residence, is the mean,
descent electric light. Safe; nothing could
be safer. A few days ago prominent gen
tleman of Honolulu came rushing down to
the office of the Electric Company and said:
"Give me figures for wiring my house, and l
want it done at once; no more lamps for me.
Last night a lamp tipped over and it came
so near setting fire to the house and burning
my children and take no more risks"
This is the sentiment of quite number in
the past few weeks, who have ordered their
houses fitted with the perfect light.
Just think it over and make up your mind
that you want the best and safest light send
for the Hawaiian Electric Company and tell
them what you want.
We have a complete stock of everything in
this line and have just received a lot OF the
very latest designs in chandeliers.

shoulder. and sometimes there Is no full
ness at all, or the sleeve is wrinkled close
to the arm. In these latter cases wide
effect at the top is obtained by bows, epau-
let's or plaitings falling from the shoulder
The sketch shows a costume of pearl
gray mohair. The tablier of the godet
skirt is framed by two long straps, termi-
mating in points at the foot, where they are
fastened by paste buttons. The close
bodice has a short, rippled basque and is cut
away in front to form two straps over a
vest of white silk. The rcvers of the vest
are embroidered with pompadour flowers
Paste buttons fasten the straps at the
shoulders and are placed at the corners Of
the basque and vest. The cravat Is of white
embroidered tulle. The hat worn with this
gown is of yellow braided straw and is
trimmed with pompadour ribbon having a
white ground parma violets and drapery
of white tulle. JUDO CHoLLET.

Sailor hats are worn as much as ever
this summer. These perennial favorites
are mostly very simply trimmed, ribbon

more elaborate ones have a bow and sew

shapes resembling the old fashioned Eng

Then Housewives Could Magnetic Ham
mers and Make Tack Driving Easy.
There is an easy way to render the
ordinary tack hammer an article that
may be used with comfort and to do
away with all danger of bruised fingers
from it's misdirected blows. A little
electricity will do the trick. The process
is 50 simple that it should be universal
ly adopted.
All that is required is access to q
dynamo. Then lay the head of the ham
mer ON the framework and leave it
there for about five minutes This needs
no strength, but the hammer cannot be
detached without the knowledge that
some force holds it fast to the ironwork,
and herein lies the svtrct. BY contact
with the dynamo your thinner has been
magnetized and will pick up bits of
iron or steel that are not too heavy for
it's strength
Tacks and small nails, too short to be
held in the fingers when driving, may
be easily placed in position for the ham
mer blows without using the finger OF
thumbs and much speedier work ac-
complished. In retacking torn shades
the man of the house will at once ap-
preciate the blessing of magnetized
hammer, since he can pick the tiny
tacks from the box direct with his mag
net, press them into the roller with the
same tool and by one blow drive the
elusive fasteners home.
Carpet laying is made easy and stray
tacks in quantities such as will slip
from the fingers thing of the past. -

Whine was pastor of the Baptist Church at Riyes June tion she was brought down with pneu- monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them.

to us vastly inferior to his first. Mr.
Lincoln had given him a great task
and Mr.. Douglas had no time to answer

The debate at Galesburg was for
those who heard it an event Of a life
time, and "reminiscences of it have all
ways been carefully preserved through
out the country. One OF the historic
treasures of Monmouth, a town near
Galesburg, which sent a goodly delega-

days after the debate. Knox college

the proudest of her history, and recall3

A FLOWER TRICK.
How to Make u Plant Grow Up and
Blossom in q Few Minutes.
BY ]. C. BEARD.

BY j. L. bEAILD.
One of the most famous tricks of orr
entail magicians can be easily dupli-
Gated with the simplest possible equip
ment.
The audience, we may suppose, is
seated before light, uncovered table.
Here, after passing it around for ex-
amina ton. that those present may see
that it is an ordinary article of the
kind, is placed a large platter or din
ner plate. The performer tells the
audience this is done to show there is
no possible communication between the
vase, or box, which he proceeds to
machinery or apparatus anywhere
place upon the plate and any concealed
else. The vase, which had better be a
cylindrical one-the longer the better,
and which seems to have nothing I'M
usual about it's set upon the plate.
In case a vase is not oIotainable, q box
may be substituted. The performer
makes little speech. He perhaps says
something like this, using as many
grandiloquant terms as possible:
Ladies and gentlemen, there is no
magic in the seeming miracle | am
about to perform. What occurs is en-
tirely the result of natural laws. 1t is
well known the growth Of plants may
oe FASTENED or retarded by proper
attention to the composition of the sol
in which they are planted, the temper
allure and the amount Of moisture af-
fcrded them. An inquiry into the ma
ture of elements that cause growth
and development in plants and the
segregation, concentration and intensi-
fcation OF substances most active and
efficient in promoting such growth and
development, has resulted in the in
vention of phaenogam or flower
compelling powder. Such is the sub
stance you see here in this receptacle
Here the performer shows his audience
a little sawdust or some such matter
in pill box. which, sprinkled over
the gravid soil prepared and placed In
this vase will cause the termination,
augmentation and poisoning of vege-
tation at an incredibly accelerated pro-
cedure. Yes ladies and gentlemen, you
shall see a plant in as many moments
as it usually, in the ordinary course of
nature, REQUIRES weeks to grow, ma
ture and become loaded with flowers.
Such a rapid growth, nevertheless, as
is seen in the case of mushrooms and
toadstools, that attain their full devel-
opment in a single night cannot take
place in strong light. Instead of turn
ing off the gas, however, I will drape
the vase with this light bit Of bunt-
ing"
The performer throws an American
flag over the vase, and then continues:
You will thus be enabled to see the
growth of the plant without it's being
