Twice as rlany Women as Men.

At length it is possible to make close

Francisco.

attendance was II 224. From California,
the registration was Il, 694, making total

From these figures it will be seen that
the actual attendance upon the conven-
ton is surprisingly close to the advance
estimates that were made.
Outside of California, the biggest dele
cation was from Illinois, that State send

third, followed by Ohio, New York, Mis-

Up to this time we have had great deal
of color in our gowns and combinations
hch here tofore were considered far too
gay for street wear. Violet and red has
perhaps been the most odd combination,
while blue and green, cerise and purple,
black and gold, have attracted their own
share of notice. Now that the weather
has settled and has become permanently
most entirely abandoned and dove gray
and yellow, slate gray and pale pink, blue
and white lavender and corn color hold
sway in the soft materials for extremely
| warm weather. A large variety of shades
in green are worn, sometimes two or three
shades in one gown, and often one shade
combined with cream, white or linen.
Almost all of thin batistes, dimities,
lawns, swiss and linens are made over col
ored slips and trimmed with ribbons, the
same color as the slip or contrasting
shade. As silk is rather expensive for
these summer gowns, the stores are show

which make cool and durable lining.
Some skirts have the outside materials cut

This is often outlined with band Of lace,

others use inch wide bands altogether.

Trees of Maine.

Mrs. Howard Taylor's paper on Trees
of Maine,' read by E. b. Chamberlain,
Bowdoin, 80, at the meeting of the Bo-
tanical Society at Foxcroft, contained much
of interest. She spoke of the pitch pines
with their dark richness of verdure and
short, spiny cones; the white pines with
their lighter foliage and cylinder shaped
cones; the frs and spruces with their
branches dropping toward the earth as II
they had not been able to raise them since
the winters snow had borne them down;
the beautiful hemlock, with its thin foll-
age and graceful branches; the larch,
graceful as the weeping willow and dell
cate in color; the white maple, the tlrst
herald of spring; the red maple with its
crimson blossom and winged fruit; the
rock maple. with its majestic beauty,
one of which observed by the writer
blooms but once in three years and bears
no perfect flowers; the ash leaved maple;
tie striped maple; wine proped elme'' and
the graceful willow; the hardy and noble
ash: the birch with its long reddish pur
pie catkins: the oak, with its thread like
| catkins of sterile flowers and close clusters
| of fertile flowers the beech with its CRATE
full shade; the poplar and hornbeam; the
walnuts, including the butternut; the
| hickory, which with the oak deserves
greater popularity as shade tree; the
chestnut. with it's cream colored catkins
foot long; the honey bearing bass wood or
linden, the locust and horse chestnuts;
the wild apple and cherry; the June berry
or Amelanchier which early in spring lifts
its snow white top above the evergreen
trees around it, or in the midst of the bare
deciduous trees appears like flower gar
den in a desert; and the mountain ash, the
Rowan tree of song. "Maine abounds in
societies." says Mrs. Taylor, but thus
far she has failed to protect her trees, and
the glory of our hllsides is threatened,
and the beauty of our meadows endanger

man shall stay his hand from the mutila-

ural result of this and the reduc-
ton in the wages of coal miners, all of
which is thus clearly traceable to the Will
son law and its reduction in duties on
coal. The coal miners strike has brought
to the public attention these and other
interesting and important facts as to the
effect of the Wilson tariff law upon this
industry and upon the miners them
selves. The Wilson law reduced the rates
40 cents per ton. This is just about
the amount of reduction in miners wages
of which complaint is now being made,
and emphasized by the strike announced
for July 4th. President Ratchford of the
[ nited Mine Workers Association, in
communication to the New York Herald,
indicates that the wages of miners have
been reduced since 1898 an average of 30
cents per ton, which is just about the
amount of the reduction in duties made by
the Wilson law. Curiously this reduc-
ton in wages is thus coincident as to time
and amount with the reduction in tariff.
That the reduction in wages was direct
result of the low tariff is thus accurately
shown. 1t is believed, however, that
with the increase of duties under the
Dingley law tie previous conditions will
be restored and that the coal miners, as
we'll as all other workingmen, will feel
the effects of new prosperity.

How pleasant it is to sit in the shade of
spreading tree just outside the bayfield,
and watch the perspirng farmers spread

1t is a great deal easier to point out the
mistakes of other people than it is to keep
from making some yourself.
Liberality toward children, according
to the view of some parents, is allowing
them to go skating in the summer time
and swimming in the winter.
Lovely woman will never be perfectly
happy until somebody invents a watch
that will run accurately when it is wound
up only at irregular intervals, about Is
times a month.
Practice makes perfect, you know. The
II year old girls piano practice makes
the neighborhood perfect bedlam.
Some young men, and occasionally a
young woman, would look better in golf
stockings if the turn down part reached
clear down to the ankles.
Some men spend the first half Of their
lives deciding what their life work shall
be, and the last half mourning because
they are too old to accomplish it.
When a boarding house is full of room
ers, it is pretty sure to be also full of
rumOrS.
A snow shovel hung on the front gate is
no longer useful in frightening tramps
away. 1t is also hazardous to hang a
woodsaw by the kitchen door. The
chances are very good that the tramp will
steal the saw.
If children behaved as badly all the
time as they do when there is company in
the house, there would be no living with
them.
The Jamaica ginger business now must
be very good. At least cherries are ripe,
green apples are getting to be almost as
BIC as walnuts, and Boston is receiving
1000 or ;, 900 watermelons every day.
Why is February the shortest month of
the year? Is it because so many little
bills always come in about Jan. 1?
