Newport, R. L., Aug. 5. - From a
sett yesterday it was possible to observe
that the beach was alive with yellowish
muslins tied with sashes of rainbow
hued ribbons. Now yellowish muslins
come in with the goldenrod, which fact
tempts to moralizing. Summer is the
locusts drone, the hot, sweet earth
breath and the brooding of the sky
But these things never meet till sum-
mer is touched with instinct of its end
Summer is yellowish muslins, but yell
lowish muslins wait for bathing dresses
and when a girl is able to spend half
the day in the surf and the rest in mus
lin foam then the days are growing
shorter with warning of future chill
This fable teaches that to get a thing
especially yellowish muslin or bath
ing dress, is warning to make ready to
let it go. Too bad it isn't fable.
Chokey linen collars and stiff shirt
fronts are not subject to this rule. Its
application is to things desirable. Sail
or hats seem to escape also. On what
ground, there may be argument.
But carpe diem. Enjoy the white silk
while it is worn out of doors. 1t took
UP a good part of the beach room yes
terday not given over to yellowish mus
lin. 1t was sashed with green by pref
erence and cascaded with lace in COM
plex ways Spotted muslin spotted the
sands, made up over white and frilled
till the turning up of the ruff1es was
like the blowing of the leaves of a tree
in the wind. Tambour muslins and or
candies were in the running with much
draped fichus of chiffon or lace or NOUS
seline de sole. The English expression
of gayety is to hang ribbon bunting
from venetian masts"; i. e. flag staffs.
From the depths Of that burrow yes
terday the quantities of ribbon a fiutter
from pique, not poles, made Narragan-
sett unanimously gay. Rose pink and
pale green ribbons were first favorites
but every sort of dress streamed with
any sort of ribbon.
Hats were in the streaming business,
too. for with the docility Of sheep over

Do not taper the stick or sharpen the
end of it like lead pencil, but cut it
evenly for a distance of an inch and
three quarters in from the end and
make shoulder for the spool to rest on
as shown in Fig. 1.
Half an inch of the small end should
project above the spool when in place.
The projection is necessary to prevent
the spool jumping off the stick, while
at the same time it serves as a centre
over which the jimmy is to fit just be-
fore it is flown.
For the jimmy, which is the last thing
to be made get a sheet of very thin tin
at a tinsmiths and cut from it a square
of five inches, using an old pair Of
shears to do the cutting.
With a soft lead pencil draw on the
tin the pattern shown in fig. 8. Then
cut it out and make hole in the mid
die large enough to fit over the small
end of the stick that projects above the
spool.
About this hole, and on a line with
the blades, punch with hammer and
awl four holes large enough to fit over
the steel wire nails driven in the top of
the spool. The jimmy will then fit over
the nails and stick and lie fiat on the
top of the spool.
Now take hold of the jinny's ears and
bend each one slightly so as to resem-
BILE a windmill or the blades of pro-
peller on a steamboat and it will then
be ready to fly.
| Several of these jinnies can be made
at one time, as they frequently get lost
or lodge on high places, where they
cannot be recovered.
| To make a jimmy fly, hold the stick
| in the left hand with the small end
up; and place the spool over the end.
Around the spool wind piece of fine,
strong, fish line about two feet long
with a button at one end to insure a
firmer hold.
Now place the jimmy over the stick
and pins, and when it is all together it
will appear as shown in the illustra-
ton. Place the thumb against the
spool to prevent the cord unwinding.
and when ready give the cord a vigor-
Gus, steady pull and the jimmy will fly
upwards.
The ears of the jimmy should be bent,
of course, so the edges that catch the
wind first will be up and the centrif-
ugal force acquired from the whirling
of the spool will cause it to fly.
If, however, the ears should be bent 80
/
the jimmy will not rise, but will hug the
spool tightly instead.
Another diagram for a round jimmy
is shown in fig. a. and is made by cut
ting eight Sits in a circular disk and
binding down the flaps of metal. Usu-
ally this pattern will fly better than the
four cared one, but it is somewhat
more difficult to make.
| A great deal of amusement can be
had with these flying jinnies and they
can be shot in any direction as we'll as
upwards. In handling them,. however,
one should be very careful not to aim
them at anybody, as the sharp revolv-
ing edges would be liable to hurt or
even cut any person whom it CHANGED
to strike.
If made according to directions such
a toy should fly from fifty to a hundred
feet high, and then gradually drop back
again to earth.

ern States. and it's cultivation in south
ern California is increasing every year.
The annual product in the United
States varies from 100000 to 5000, 900
bushels, and practically all of this i'm
mense quantity is used here.
Three varieties are grown in the Unit
ed States; the white, the red, and the
Spanish. The white peanut has two
kernels only in each pod, and this is
also true of the Spanish nut, which is
considerably smaller. however, than the
white variety and has a much milder
flavor. The third variety, the red pea
nut, often has as many as three or four
kernels in each shell and is larger than
either of the other varieties. Peanut
connoisseurs say the Spanish nuts are
the best, the white ones next best, and
the big red ones last in quality. But it
is a curious circumstance that the pea
nut eaters of the city of New York, the
biggest peanut market in the United
States, prefer these big red nuts to all
others.

Orientalism in New York.

There is a constantly increasing de-
mand in New York for the Oriental sa-
cred books. The Koran in cheap form
is one of the best selling books, and a
volume of extracts from the writings of
Buddha is extremely popular. The sale
of the Zend Avesta is restricted be-
cause it cannot be obtained in cheap
form. The purchasers of these works
are not only clergymen, but laymen,
and there seems to be an intense Curl
osity to compare the sacred books of
other religions with the Bible.

much appreciated beverage. The use
of peanuts in candy making is we'll
known.
Authorities differ as to the botanical
history of the peanut. 1t is now ex-
tensively grown in Africa, South Amer
ca, India. China and the Malayan
Archipelago. In Europe peanuts are ex-
tensively grown only in Spain; all over
the continent they are used mostly for
their oil, and the great markets there
draw their supply mostly from the west
coast of Africa. India and Brazil con-
sumo most of the great crops grown in
those countries. In this country the
peanut is a staple in Virginia, the Caro-
linas and Georgia. Besides it is raised
