A Logging Camp.

The summer logging camp ordina-
rily is not a picturesque place. 1t Is
built Jeside the railroad, in order that
supplies need not be carried far by
hand or by @'dray,'' and whate7et
beauty it has is gained from its envi.
ronment OF heavy forest. The vari-
Gus buildings, or ''shanties," as they
are always called, are clustered in q
compact little village. Nearest the.
railroad-it may be-is the "cook's
shanty;" next it, perhaps, is the
mems shanty," or sleeping quarters
of tfezcrew; near tRems asainz ;;ss tiss
office where the camp accounts arg
kept and where the foreman and scaler,
sleep. The barn or shovel, is at
the end of the camp, with the granary
beside it. The blacksmith's shop and
the workbench of the "handy-man",
are near by. The "root-cel'ar," which
is both pantry and cold storage room,
is built where the cook and his assist
ants have ready access to it.
The cooks shanty is the dining
room as we'll as kitchen, while the of
fee is also a storehouse from which
the timher-jacks can obtain tobacco
and such principal articles of clothing
as they may need. All the chief
buildings are long and low, made Of
rough boards OF logs, and rooted with
sheeting and tar paper. The sleeping
hunks in the mems shanty are along
the sides of the cabin in tier two
deep; this shanty is the loggers' rem
devious on cold evenings, and IN IL
the smell of strong tobacco constant;
ly fingers. Such is summer logging
camp, and, rough and crude as it may
seem, it is no bad home for men
toughened by hard outdoor labor

Music rs y Hair EeStorer.

Last September DR.. Ferrand read
to the French academy paper on
music. He showed its effect on the
body and minl of a patient by practi-
cal demonstrations. Dr.. Betzchinsky,
the famous, Russian savant, told of
the therapeutic worth of music. He
pointed out the fact that musical COM
posers usually have very heavy heads
of hair, and proposed to prove that
music is directly responsible for it.
Piano players always have tremen-
dous quantities Of hair, Paderewski
being one of the many cited to prove
the theory. Harpists, violinists and
'cellists, too, usually have fair amount
OF hair. as the long-locked N. Isave
witnesses.
If little experiment proves the
doctors theory correct well-equipped
orchestra may become part of every
properly conducted hairdressing es-
tab|ishment, and foods Of melody from
a big cornet may pour upon the GUS
TONER'S head after the electric fan has
done its duty-in drying the hair. ~

4 Gir1,S Voice.

A distinguishing difference between
the English and the American girl IS
in the voice, and comparison does not
result favorably for the latter. The
low tones which Shakespeare recon-
mendcd and which are among the
most attractive charms of the 18th
century English women are the ex-
ception, not the rule, with the Amer
ican.
The girl whose fathers bank ac-
count is sufficiently large to send her
to a school of the finished" type is
expected to refi,rn with certain
amount of knowledge and mental dis
cipline, to be sure, but to he" social
abilities and charms much more
thought is given. Least of her ac-
complishments, she must dance, have
some music, perhaps sing; she must
be perfect mistress of herself at teas,
dinners and receptions, with small
talk ever ready. But to the accom-
paniment Of all she does, her speaking
voice, how much, rather how little,
real attention is directed. -Philadel-
phia Inquirer. o.,

English Lace for Dresses.

In view of the extensive use Of lace
for the dresses by Paris dressmakers,
a correspondent Of the Ladies' Pic
torial has been Investigating the sub
iect. She says: I found the lace
dress delightfully."- en- evidence in the
practical form of beautifully shaped
overskirts of lace, all ready just to be
sewn into the waistband Of the silken
underskirt, while mate.ial for the
bodice is also provided. One lovely
lace skirt in black marquise lace, and
another in ivory tambour lace in the
loveliest of designs-a close floral Eor-
der, headed by festoons of flowers,
which give the fashionable founce ef-
fect-lace for the bodice being ir each
case pro ICED.
In view, too, of the Partisan popu-
larity of black Cnantilly lace, above
all others, let nie tell you that there
are some skirts in this lovely lace
where the design takes the form OF
stripes, radiating outward from the
waist and then curving round above
the deep Hounce effect.
Lace apart, there are, too, some
daintiiy lovely white muslin robes, the
skirt shaped and the bodice provided
with Insertions of lace alternating
with stripes of embroidery for trim
ming, while others are in fine muslin,
bordered with wee tucks headed by
the effective openwork ladderstich,
and further decorated atintervass with
insertions of lace and fine tracery Of
embroidery.
White chiffon founcing, too, bor-
dered with an applique of fine black
lace, headed by true lovers knots, Is
a very desirable acquisition of tine mo-
ment. And then there is delightful
little novelty-a boa of rutf!ed point
d'esprit, all edged with white satin
baby ribbon, or again in white, edged
with black or coloredribbon. You can
also have it in white chiffon, with a
narrow bordering of black lace. 1t is
the most delightful finish to a summer
costume, and it hangs with a partic1-
lar grace over the bodice.

Romance of Canoes.

It was Mrs. Freddy Gebhard who
discovered a little old genius, hidden
away in back street in Richmond,
Va, chipping lovely protiles out Of
agate stones.
A price was offered on the spot, and
the old fellow put to work on big
and beautiful cameo Of Mrs. Gebhard
herself.
It proved a. striking one, the lovely
head being cut in white against: a
background of sapphire blue stone.
This Mrs. Gebhard had framed in
diamonds. She wore it like a minia-
ture brooch.
The cameo cutters lucky stars were
out Just then. Every woman who saw
Mrs. Gebhard's brooch and could af-
ford one, went to do likewise. Orders
tumbled in and they are coming still.
The heirlooms of future generations
will be treasures of art.
From the cameo comes the "cameo
photograph" and women who can't
afford the little stone cutter are going
to the photographer to get those pure
cold profile effects in different like
ness
One woman in thousand can pay
for cut cameo, but any woman can
test her profile in a dainty French
vignette.
The rocess for these photographs
is brought over from Paris, and sew

sLow.BuRNING POWDER.
The Brown Prismatic-Powder and tne

The Brown Prismatic-Powder and the
Way 1t Is Loaded in Charges.
E. B. Rogers Of the United States,
Navy in an article on 'tBig Guns and
Armor of our Navy in the St Nicho-
las says:
Black powder, with its glistening,
grains, is untitled for our modern
guns, because it explodes too quick
", and when the charge IS fired 1t
turns almost instantaneously into gas
exertiug Immediately all its force,
which, of course, decreases when the
shot moves toward the muzzle, be-
cause the gas has more room THAT lss
the inside of the gum to expand IN.
But nowadays what is called "siow-
burning powder is used. When tits
isnited the projecti!e at first moves
slowly; but as the powder continues
burning, the quantity of gas, and con-
sequently the pressure, IS constantly
Increasing; thus the speed OF the
shot becomes greater and greater as ~
goes out of the gun. Sometimes;
grains of powder still burning arg
thrown out when the gun is tred,
which shows how slowly it ignites.
:. This new powder is brown, and Is
is made up into hexagonal, or SIX
sided, pieces. with holes through
their centres. a mass Of it looks eK1
actly like lot of rusty iron nuts
Each Of these grains or ~erisms ls e
about the size of large walnut, and;
when the charge is made up. the
prisms are nicely piled, and over the
pile is drawn white serge bag. The
white bag is powder section" and
contains one hundred and ten pounds,
of brown powder; and five OF these
make up the full or ''service" charge
for the great thirteen-inch rife, whose
pro;ectile is twothirds as tall as an
ordinary man, and is larger, and
weighs more than many Of the very
cannons themselves with which Ad-
miral Nelson fought the battle OF ira
falgar in 1906. !;
