Four of the trimmest travelling dresses
were worn the other day by a party of
American women who had been to the
jubilee, and, to kill two birds with one
stone, had obtained travelling dresses while
they were in London.
One of them had bought a ready-made
bodice Of ladies' cloth in tiny black and
White checker-board plaid. 1t was very
close fitting and absolutely without trim
ming, except for a deep Medici Of snowy
collar linen, with strip Of the same
down the front.
The skirt was brilliantine, gored at
the hips and walking length.
Another was of that excellent travelling
material, gray linen, the color of an old
fashioned buster. Fans Of scarlet and
blue gugham were let in the side. The
waist had tiny scarlet figures traced in
embroidery cotton. The sleeves, Shout
der puffs and waist trimming We're OF ging-
ham. Both of these women wore rough
and-ready straw hats, trimmed with
punches of null, fastened with pins of
mock gems.
The third dress was Scotch plaid suit
ing with green ground. II was cut prin-
cess, with the seams outlined at the waist
with black passementerie. There was a
vest OF washable green six. over which

eastern states, and only one or two weedy
species have entered the country on the
western coast, from Asia or the islands
OF the Pacific ocean. In a general way,
the progress of agriculture in the world,
accompanying the march OF civilization
has been westward, and the weeds, l. e.,
plants useless ecomonically-have follow
ed the farmer. The cultivation of land,
beginning in the valleys of the Euphrates
and the Nile, has been extending toward
the setting sun for more than thirty CEN
turtles. Many of the weeds of agriculture,
as well as many Of the cultivated plants

ing year book of the department of agri-
culture VIII contain a paper on II, pre-
pared by Dr. L. H. Dewey, from advance
proofs of which the writer has been per-
mitted to CLEAN the bulk of his material
Dr. Dewey refers incidentally to the fact
that one of the best known methods by
which plants travel short distances is by
throwing their seeds. When the pods of
the common tare are mature. they dry in
such manner as to produce a strong
oblique tension on the two sides of the
pod. The sides .finally split apart and curl
spirally with such a sudden movement as
to throw the peas" several feet. In
many of the species of spurge the seeds
are tightly pressed by the sides Of the rip
ening capsule, and they are finally ex-

Admitting the plant on account Of It's beau
tiful blooms, he obtained some seeds and
put them in pond on his land. The hya-
cinths thrived at such a rate as to make
the pond useless for other purposes, so
he plucked them up and threw them into
the ST. Johns river. That was in 1892, and
already the great stream is rendered all
most unnavigabe by the plants. The lat

in the bottom, but propagating by means
of runners, like the strawberry. 1t is
reckoned that if the Atlantic ocean were

hyacinth would cover it entirely In the
course of a few years.
The water hyacinth is a very notable
example of an escaped ornamental plant.
There are a good many such which have
become bad weeds in this country Nota-
BILE among them is the common ox-eye
daisy, which was brought from Europe
about the middle of the eighteenth centu-
ry and planted in New England gardens.
Escaping to the fields, 1t soon became a
nuisance. Wild garlic, which is now the
most injurious weed from New Jersey to
North Carolina, is said to have been intro.

vided at the back to show broad frill

of the broad girdle. At the front the
Jacket is draped and shirred with a broad
beading at each side These are faced
with the corn-colored taffeta and fall in
cascades at the front of the jacket. The
sleeves OF the foulard are close fitting and
slightly draped at the top. The high
pointed girdle and the tall, straight collar
are of dark green velvet.
Another pretty boating gown is made
Of cream canvas with a narrow stripe
Of navy blue running through it. 1t is
made over cream taffeta. The skirt is
an unusually wide godet without trim
ming.
The corsage is a blouse of dark blue
tGffeta, cut square-necked. over this Is
a shcrt bolero of the canvas slashed at the
front and laced with straps of white suede
and fastened to the narrow white suede
belt. A band OF white suede gives the
finish to the neck. The sleeves are long

1t must be borne in mind that there are
two kinds of travelling dresses The wo-

would shock the proprieties were she TO
wear a duster, or even a dust-proof suit.
Her dress must be Ca'nty and sweet II
should combine the colors OF sky and

withstand vapor and spray. The train
gown on the other hand. must be a rough

sprinked with SCOT without injury to

The London travelling dresses have the
virtue Of combining Just the right quail
ties without being one-half as fussy or as
expensive as the French ones.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE
CURED

by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con

caused by an iDfamed condition

when 1t is entirely closed, Deaf
