GAUDY HANOKERCAlEFS.
All the COIOrs of the Rainbow to BE
Seen Next Season

Seen Next Season.
Hankerchiefs next season will be
gaudier than ever before. They will be
of all the colors of the rainbow, in sol
ids, stripes, plaids, polka dots and fig
ures. Even white ones will not be
plain, for, when not heavily embroi-
dered, they will be lace trimmed, not
with one edge of lace as heretofore, bat
with several lace frills placed one above
the other and on both sides of the hand
kerchief, for the fashionable article has
neither right nor wrong side.
Many samples shown have centers of
solid coIors-colors, not tints-with
borders in contrasting colors, plaids,
checks, polka dots and pronounced
floral designs. Other handkerchiefs
appear to be thin bits of colored muslin
over which small flowers or leaves are
strewn. To careless observer they
seem nothing more or less than hem
stitched squares of printed lawn. Close
inspection shows a linen of the dain-
tiest quality, with a regular and gen
orally highly artistic design, stamped
as distinctly on one side as the other.
Black, navy blue, scarlet and brown
handkerchiefs embroidered in white,
black or contrasting colors are to be
used by travellers and should always
correspond in color with the toilet.
Travelling handkerchiefs should never
be lace-trimmed.
One of the newest and daintiest hand
kerchiefs to be seen is of sheer white
or light colored linen muslin, with a
triple border of finely-plaited footing.
The footing. of course, is always white.
There is no hemstitching, the first row
being whipped on a rolled edge, while
the second row is put on, one row on
either side of the handkerchief. Just
above. This handkerchief, though so
simple that it could be easily made at
home, is especially dainty looking, and
adapted to go with the most elegant
toilet. Frills Of lace are put on in a
similar manner, sometimes as many as
six rows being used to the side. Of
course one great trouble with these
dainty bits of lace-trimmed muslin will
be the difficulty of having them washed
but the dealers say this objection is
overcome by the narrowness of the lace
After washing, they need only to be
rubbed over with the iron. and when
taken out for use the lace is pulled out
between the fingers, making the hand
kerchief much fresher in appearance
than it would be We're the lace pulled
out on leaving the wash-N. y. Sun.

Last Month of the Tennessee Gem
tennial and Industrial Exposition.

The month of October closes this greatest
of all Expositions ever held in the South, and
next to the Columbian, the best ever held in
this country. For the closing month, spe
cial attractions have been arranged and
the rates from all parts of the country have
been made lower than ever before known.
The location NASHVILLE, Tenn is on the
main line of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad directly on its through car route
between the North and South, and the trip
in either direction via that city can be
made as cheaply, if not cheaper, than via
any other route. Ask your ticket agent
for rates, or write to c. P. Atmore, General
Passenger Agent, Louisville, Ky, for rates
and information.

FARM AND GARDEN.
REFORMS ARE NEEDED.
Antiquntcd Road Building Methods
Should BE Discarded.

The organization of a good roads as
scciation in any city Is movement to-
ward reformation. The people who
live beyond the city limits have more
interest in this matter than the town
people, but nearly all do more or less
driving or wheeling, while every family
is interested in the cheap transporta-
tion of farm produce.
The farmers have more to gain by the
improvement of highways than any
other large class of people. Preachers,
doctors, mail drivers and travelling
agents are all small classes who indi-
vidually have a large concern in the
state of the roads, but collectively do
not suffer privations at all comparable
to that which the farmers endure by
reason of bad roads. The produce which
the farmer sends to market is hauled to
town or taken to the railroad station
over the country highway. The goods
he purchases for his own use must be
conveyed part of the distance to his
home over this route. He drives his
family to church, or to town. or visits
the neighbors over such roads as are
provided in his district. If the road is
bad one he can only take half lua.1
when he is carting produce, and can
only travel at a slow pace when he
drives. His toll is increased when he
works; his pleasure diminished when
he takes his pleasure; his horses suffer;
his wagons and carriages have a shorter
lifetime than if his district were pro-
cided with firm and smooth highway.
1t might be possible to compute the ag-
gregate loss to the country in time and
property through the bad condition
OF the roads of the country. 1t would
not be easy to estimate the loss of com
fort and pleasure, or to appraise the
consequences of loss of temper and of
health.
The townsman is interested in every
thing that concerns the dweller in the
country. If the country suffers, the
city shares the trouble. When it is
hard for the farmer to get to market
himself, or to send his produce there,
the effect is seen in the counting-room
Cf the merchant and on the table of the
artisan. Moreover, we are all country
men. The citizens are always abroad
in the land. Every summer sends
thousands of the town people into the
country. Every day sees the city and
village bicyclist, or eXcursionist by car
riage in the most remote places he can
find a roadbed good enough for him.
1t is easier to begin movement or
organize a society in the city than in
the country, but the good roads organ
izations which may begin in town may
be expected to spread everywhere. The
people who use the roads most, and who
have the most to gain by their improve
ment, may be expected to welcome
every movement which will do them
good. Thoughtful people must, on re-
fection, conclude that something is

Removing Odors from Cream.

An important discovery IS claimed to
have been made bysan Iowa dairyman,
whc practices a method of removing
the odor of wild onions and garlic from
cream intended for butter making,
which is to dilute the cream with two or
more parts of hot water, first adding
four ounces of saltpetre to the cream
for 100 pounds of butter. The tempera-
ture of the diluted cream is raised to
160 degrees, when it runs through the
separator again.

CnriOns Mnrrinre Custom.

In Brittany there is said to prevail
a curious marriage custom. On certain
fete days the young ladies appear in red
petticoats, with white or yellow bor-
ders around them. The number of bor-
ders denotes the portion the father is
willing to give his daughter. Each
white band denotes silver-10O francs
per annum; each yellow band repre-
sents gold-a thousand francs a year.

UNIQUE AFRICAN CEREMONY.
Submission of the King of Benin to British
Authority.

Authority.
The king of Benin, who surrendered
to the British authorities, after wan
dering in the bush since the capture of
Benin City by the British in February
last, as a result of the massacre of an
unarmed expedition under Consul Phil
lips, entered Benin City, preceded by a
messenger bearing a white flag and fol-
lowed by 500 unarmed blacks 10 chiefs,
20 wives and reed band playing ma
tive music.
The acting political residents re-
ceived the kings obeisance in front of
the Palaver house. The king was COW
cred with coral ornaments, and his
arms were supported on each side by
natives. About 400 naked natives and
many chiefs gathered about the king.
The latter at first expressed desire to
make his submission privately to the
president, but the British representa-
tives refused, and the king, after hav-
Ing consulted with his chiefs, made an
obeisance, rubbing his forehead three
times upon the ground. Ten of his
most important chiefs did the same,
and the ceremony was concluded.

NEW BICYCLE SADDLE.

1t Is Constructed Especially for the
Women.
The latest thing in bicycle seats, and
one to which it is said physicians can
make no objection whatever. is the new
ball bearing saddle. 1t is made in two
separate parts, adjusted with special
adaptability to the human anatomy
and has been made with special care as
Il woman's saddle. 1t is the only saddle
which has ever been constructed on the
common sense plan and the only saddle
which is built especially for women. It
moves with the body, avoids all irrita-
ton, and secures greater comfort and
freedom than other styles of saddle.

That Santiam Bridge.

No doubt it is known to some, but
it may be of interest to many taxpay-
ers of this county to know that one of
the longest and most expensive
bridges in the county is now nearly
entirely over dry land. At Stayton
the Santiam river has changed its
channel, and has deliberty left very
handsome three-span high truss
bridge almost entirely over dry land.
The bridge looks very much like the
great steal bridge acI oss the William
cite at Salem, only it is built of
small modern timbers and really does
not look as though the timber are
heavy enough for such long spans.
The longest span on the south side of
the river, and which was originally
over the main Santiam river, but
which is now entirely over big
gravel bar is i9S long steps or nearly
300 feet in length. This was intended
to span the river but the river has
left it. Next to this span is one 81
steps or about 100 feet long, which is
also entirely over dry land now, but
is on the other side of the river
from where it was intended to be
Next to this is another so step or 15(
foot under which the rushing, tear
ing waters of the entire river now
run. Next to this $50 foot span is the
north approach, so feet of which was
carried away by the flood last winter
with the change of the river bed and
has heen recently replaced.
Stayton people with whom
talked, are very much afraid that
with the main river channel under
one of the short spans of the bridge
and running almost directly towards
the main north piers that the next
high water will take out part if not
all of the north span Of the bridge.
The people with whom l talked,
think that the county court should
build breakwaters and make one effort
to save the Stayton bridge from being
entirely left by the river. g.

The Walter L. Main Circus and Men,

1t has been some time since this
city was so crowded with an expec-
tant throng as on Tuesday-it was
circus day Throughout the forenoon
all roads leading to Salem were filled
with teams, the farmer accompanied
by his children for miles to see the ell
ephants and sights in connection with
the circus and they were not disap-
pointed in the Walter L. Main circus
either. There was amusement there
for the young and the old
The procession moved over the prin-
cipal streets promptly at 1870 o'clock
in the forenoon and was witnessed by
thousands of people. At the after
noon performance every seat was
taken and the evenings program was
marked by this same state of rela-
tions.
The Main circus is not one OF the
"See One, See All" shows, but on the
contrary is strictly up-to-date ag'
gregation, haying associated with II
people who are artists in their respec'
tive lines. 1t is one Of those shows
that is not to be seen wholly on the
bill-boards, but instead is exactly as
advertised and no swindleing or gam
bling games are tolerated by the man
agement on the grounds.
The performance of s2O,O 900 worth OF
wild animals was immense, exhibit
ing the wonderful power of man oyel
beast. Wallace, the riding lion, was
wonderful.
This is the first tour of the Pacific
coast by this aggregation, but 1t is
announced that another tour is con-
templated next year, a fact that the
realization of will be eagerly awaited
J by the Salem circus going people.
