Not exactly into~n however, but just near
enough to claim the distinction. Mr..
Hanna cruised Maine waters in his mag

Although the hardest work of the
campaign will not be on until all the
nominations for Congress have been
made, ehings are already quite brisk
at the rooms Of the republican con-
gressional campaign committee. 1t is
the purpose OF the committee to con-
centrate its work upon those districts
which may reasonably be considered
doubtful. Chairman Babcock hasn't
the slightest doubt about the republi
cans retaining control OF the House,
but he will work just a. hard a.
though il were a matter OF doubt.

Down in Brooksville, in the vicinity of
PilIow-case hill, on the shore of Walkers
pond, they are watching for a bird of
strange plumage, which, rumor says, is
coming that way. This is none other
than Prof. Samuel Pierpont Langley, d,
{. l., secretary Of the Smit hsonian insti-
tute, Washington, D. c.. whose recent ex
periments with the flying machine have
attracted world wide attention. The eyes
OF the scientific world are now directed
toward Prof. Langley and his aeroplane
as the nearest solution of the flying ma
chine problem, and because of the annoy
ance caused by "a too inquisitive press and
public, he has sought the solitudes of
Brooksyllle, where he hopes to continue
his experiments undisturbed. 1t is not
strange that he should select Pillow case
hill for MS experiments. But it is a wary
bird, this, and too much inquisitiveness
on the part Of reporters or BrooksviIlians
may brighten it away, and the world, per-
maps, be doomed to wait another decade
for the flying machine.

bulletin will be devoted largely to he
discussion of the management Of agricul
tural exhibitions. The farmers are asked
by Secretary McKeen TO write OF fairs.
Let your statements cover such points as
the comparative value OF large and small
exhibitions; whether or not our agricul-
tural Interests would best be served by
an increased number OF societies; what
the principal features OF the exhibitions
should be; what phase should be pushed
most to the front; whether the fairs
should be educational, or for recreation
and amusement, and the best means to
use to accomplish the desired end; your
opinion Of the recent amendment to our
law prohibiting gambling in any form, or
any games Of chance, on the grounds Of
all societies receiving aid from the State.

SUMMER GIRLS RUN A FARM.

There a good many abandoned farms
on Long Island. The former occupants have
been lured away by the glaze of the city, and
have permitted rank weeds to overrun fertile
acres that were once the pride of the agri-
culturist Four young women of Brooklyn Git
is now called East New York; thought of the
cultivation of one of these abandoned farms
as means of recreation and profit and acted
upon this idea. The maids who are posing as
farmers are Misses LIME Eldert, Grace Van
Sise, May Evans and Elsie Warwick All are
young, pretty and jolly. Many schemes for
vacation had been taken up, discussed and
abandoned before Miss Eldert thought of the
abandoned farm. AS soon as she suggested
the idea 1t made hit. In most instances the
hardest thing to find is the farm, but here it
was the easiest and parental consent was
the greatest obstacle.
John F. Eldert, the father of Miss Eldert
owns farm in the old South road, near
Aqueduct. For several years the homestead
had been vacant because it had the reputa-
tion of being haunted" The reputation only
served to whet the appetite of the girls for
adventure. The farm is lonely and spooky
enough in broad daylight, but at night the
situation is warranted to make the brayest
Of young ladies shiver with fright
IL Is situated on the edge of the meadows
tnat skirt Jamaica bay. Uncle john Eldert
once owned them. He lived the life of re-
ciuse and died among his books His library
contained 5,00O books at his death. Uncle
John' S" ghost Is the specter of the house on
the meadows
How the girls got the consent of their par-
ents Is mystery to all but themselves They
wheedled and coaxed as only pretty girls

AS soon as they took possession they began

into coZy retreat
AT first all young men were barred, but
that ruling has become practically a dead
letter. The progress Of the callers was like
the march OF the army worm. First the
fence was passed, then line just within
the gate until finally the last resting place on
the porch was reached. Agriculture, pure
and simple, was to be the object of the girls,
but finally they compromised on raising
weeds In the front garden. Now that they
are settled and having such a jolly time
of 1t in their retreat, they intend to remain
until their crops are harvested in the fall
The girls are near neighbors in the Cy-
press Hills section of the city. The Elderts
live at Jamaica avenue and Dresden street.

Evanses and Van Sises at Jamaica avenue
and Logan street. The girls deny that they

fashioned lovable girls out for a good time,
and are having it.

rich satin duchess will be the pre-
ferred ribbons. These are to be in
many cases made with an overlay Of

with point de venise makes a superb
hat. One of the pattern hats was i'm

felt, and, by the way, brick red will
be one of the favorite colors of the
coming season, If one may judge by
Its present appearance The hat was
wide and fiat in front and lifted sharp
ly in the back. The whole hat was
covered with dull chrysanthemums,
with two short, close tufts of feathers
at the sides.
Another brick red hat was tipped
downward over the forehead and raised
in the back. There were two black
bows and a full wreath of immense
roses. A regular fiat" shaped felt of
a dark brick red had wide brim,
dipped deeply over the eyes. On the
outside there were eight large empire
plumes and velvet bow of the same
color. I mention all these In line to
show how oft-n one must expect to see
brick red the coming season. I was
told that brick in all shade~-and there

soon as this is done the face should
be thoroughly but gently wiped off
with soft cloth dipped in warm wa
ter. Warm water is very cleansing,
as well as the cream, and by means Of
the two together one can get rid of
all impurities. At the same time warm
water has a tendency to enlarge the
pores, and this must be guarded
against by rinsing the face in cold wa
ter Immediately after the warm bath.
This also makes the flesh firm and the
skin soft. Following these directions
after exercising and at night before
going to bed will keep any womans
skin in fine condition, no matter how
much she is exposed to the weather.
Your skin is in such state that you
will be compelled to steam it once or
twice week for about two months
and Immediately after doing so persist
in the treatment described. You may
make fatal mistake to bathe your
face with bread and milk, potatoes
and milk, oatmeal, or an other vegeta-
bic preparation, for in hot weather
such things get into the pores and de-
compose. Doctors advise the use of
mineral powders with babies, instead
of vegetable. for that very reason. Mag
nesia Is the best known mineral pow
der. Many persons have an idea that
rice powder is utterly harmless. There
never was greater mistake. It is in
furious, as are all farinaceous pow
ders."
