With the May number, the journal pub
lished by the Standard Fashion Company
makes its appearance as the Standard
Designer. There is no branch, sacred ex-
clusively to women, which is not herein
considered, and it is evident that no pains
nor expense has been spared to make it of
practical assistance to home women. The
fashion designs show them how to dress
daintliy, and various articles suggest how to
do so economically as well. For those deft
with the needle, there are hints on the
subject of fancy work, and for all there is
information on house-furnishing and beau
tifying, on Horticulture, on cookery, on
character reading, on beauty and on almost
every subject which is of interest to women.
1t really seems as if with change of name
this already excellent journal is trying to
surpass itself.

A cry of fire rang out over this village at
five o'clock Monday afternoon. Foster &
Jaquith's lumber dressing mill was all ablaze.
The bucket brigade turned out but nothing
could be saved and within an hour the struc-
ture with its contents, including engine, ma
chinery and lumber We're consumed. The
fire originated around the boiler and when
discovered had made no Roadway. a bucket
of water was thrown upon it but before an
other one could be procured the fire was be-
yond control. The loss falls heavily upon the
owners and help, as the former have large
quantity of logs on hand to be sawed, while
the latter are dependent upon employment
here for the support of their families. This
makes the third mill burned at this site with
in few years, one being burned last summer.
1t is hoped they will rebuild, which they will
probably do, as they have large orders for
lumber to fill. The loss is estimated at about
$1,000 with no insurance.

as follows: The first of August will be, in
most parts, fair and more pleasant. A
storm period is central on the 5th, bring
ing warmer weather and falling barometer
ending in buster, thunderclouds and
rain in many places on and next to the
9TH and 9Th Warm weather will pre-
domi ate, growing in heat until past the
New Moon on the Sth, it eliminates in more
storms about the 10th and 18th. breath
Of cooler air from the polar regions is like
ly to come over most parts from these re-
dictionary movements. About the 10Th
warm wave will originate in the west, low
and falling barometer will be observed,
and during the 10Th to 10Th storms will
touch all sections in their progress to the
last. Great summer heat will prevail in
all sections east of the actual storm areas,
but this will break down as the storms pass
east, leaving more pleasant weather be-
hind Rain will fall in many places. The
22nd and 23rd bring reactionary perturba-
tons, causing warmer, Win low aIh'os-
pheric pressure and stormineSs. The We
nus eqinox is now in force, and change to
sudden cool is likely to follow great heat
and storms This will be especially so
during the storm period, 2sth to 31st
The month promises to close with cooler
weather prevailing generally. Earthquake
tremors need not surprise toward the close
of the month.
