FASHION NOTES.
Items About Dress for Ladies' Who
Keep Pace with the
Times.

There are shown very handsome
assortment of poke bonnets. They are
not extremely large, but are very styl-
ish; and, although but very few women
find them becoming, they will undoubt-
eddy be quite generally worn on ac-,
count of their picturesqueness and real
beauty. They are made over frame,
the brim being put on smoothly on the
outside. The inside is of shirred crepe,
chiffon Or lisse. One of these bonnets
is of heliotrope velvet on the outside
and inside an exquisite shade of tea
rose pink. The trimming is of hello
trope feathers and bows of heliotrope
ribbon with pansies that look as though
they might have been brought from the
florists for this special purpose.
One of the most stylish capes of the
season has yoke of brocaded velvet in
brown and wood colors. The figures
on the velvet are outlined with beads,
and the leaves are veined with deli
cate tracery Of iridescent threads.
From this yoke frill of broadcloth falls
to the waist line. This frill is wrought
| in the same beads as those in the yoke.
At the lower edge of this cloth portion
there is triple frill of taffeta in the
three shades of the brocade. This frill
has pinked edges and is set on with
gimp made of fine iridescent beads.
There is but little in the new shirt
waists that differ from those hereto
fore worn. In general effect they are
quite the same. Yokes may be varied in
shape and collars show some slight
changes, but not enough to attract the
| attention of anyone but an expert. A
trifling departure is the round collar
turned over a straight band. This is
new and makes variety which is always
liked, especially by young people who
are fond of dressy waists and novelties.
In the item OF shoulder capes, fluff
ness and an enormous amount of thin
material divide favor with cloth
trimmed with embroidery and passe-
menterie. A pretty model has yoke
of brocaded satin, the figures of which
are outlined bead embroidery. From
the yoke are deep rufles of taffeta and
over these are frills Of silk muslin
headed by puffs of the same. A high
flaring collar is finished at the edge
with puffs of muslin.
| A princess of heliotrope velvet opens
over petticoat front of yellow satin
embroidered with pearls. The edge of
the velvet princess is finished with a
deep frill extending from the waist line
! in front, down either side and around
the hem of the dress. The garment was
fashioned upon the suggestion fur
nished by large purple rut1led-edged
pansy, and is most admirably carried
out.
There is very little that is new in
mourning goods. For midsummer
wear nothing has yet been brought out
that is as beautiful and comfortable as
the fine clairette. For heavier weight
the priestly silk warp Henrietta re-
mains the favorite fabric.
The ribbon counters are among the
popular resorts for young women, and
the number of ccllarettes, ties and
other neck gear made from these beau
tiful fabrics is almost past computa-
tion.-N. Y. Ledger.

He was plain man, neatly dressed,

that Weyler ought to be burned at the

talk drifted to our families, and he be-

made by his eight-year-old boy, who,
when he heard of the sailing of the fleet,

minutes on family affairs, tried to

Delicious Apple DumDlinss.

Make paste with piece of butter
about as large as an egg, melted in one
teacupful of boiled mashed potato, to
which is added half cupful of boiled
milk. Salt to taste and pour the mixed
milk, potato and butter into flour
enough to make a rather soft dough.
Sprinkle over the dough one heaping
teaspoonful of baking powder and work
it into the mass as rapidly as possible.
Cut the dough into pieces about the size
of an after-dinner coffee cup and roll
each piece out separately. Fill each
with quartered apples or with apple
sauce seasoned to taste. Make the
edges and corners fast, first wetting
them so that they will adhere. Prick
them several times with a fork, so the
air may escape; put them in pan with
paper lining and bake in hot oven un-
til brown. Serve with hard sauce or
lemon sauce. Many persons eat Dump

Transplantins Wild Flower.

In digging the wild flowers, especial
~ those having dubious roots, be care
full to go deep enough to get all of the
roots. Leave as much soil clinging to
the roots as possible, and after wrap
ping them in damp moss or grass, roll
the plants up in paper and exclude the
air. Gather basketful of leaf mold
from under the trees where no grass
grows, the first inch of ground being
the best, and use this freely in making
up the bed for the reception of the wild
flowers. After planting them in their
new quarters water them literally and
shade from the sun for a week or moro.
A rather shaded location should always
be selected.-Woman's Home Compan-

EXPENSES OF TOURISTS.
The Total Estimated ut S7OO,OOO, OOO
Year-Nice Made Rich
by Foreigners. ,

The amount OF money expended by
tourists in Europe has, if official records
abroad are to be accepted as authentic,
increased enormously of late years.
There has been recently filed with the
Swiss minister of finance and customs
at Berne a detailed statement of hotel
receipts in that country, from which it
appears that the gross receipts of Swiss
hotels rose from 52,s0o,0O0 francs in
1880 to ia, 333, 900 in 1894. The entire
annual expenses of the Swiss republic
amount in a year to between s0,oO0, 900
and 100000 francs (the budget for
this year is given at the latter fgure).
and it would seem, therefore, very much
as if the hotels If Switzerland take in
in year more than the government it.
self does. The SWISS figures are not the
only ones furnished in Europe recently
on this point. A French record shows
that every year there are 27o,0o0 for
eigners who pass from a fortnight to a
whole winter on the Riviera. Every
person is supposed to expend on an
average 1000 francs, or 5000, in the
country. In other words, the foreign
visitors spend in the country every win
ter the sum of $54,o00oo0. The English
are put down as contributing ore-third
of this amount; the French themselves
contribute another third; Germans,
Belgians, Dutch, Russians and Ameri-
cans contribute the remainder. From
being a poor country when it was an
nexed to France, in 1860, Nice has be-
come one of the richest departments of
the republic.
Some figures recently compiled of the
revenues of hotels from tourists in
Paris show the average number of for
eign visitors to be 10000. It is custom
airy to estimate at ten francs, or two dol
lars, day the hotel bills of strangers
in Paris. Estimating at two dollars
day each the hotel bills of 10000 tour
lists, and at about as much more their
other OUTLAWS, it is to be seen that tour
lists in Paris can be put down for an ex-
penditure of nearly quarter of mill
lion dollars day.
The total sum expended by tourists
in Europe in year is probably not far
from 100000, 900, and very considera-
BILE portion of this comes from therpock-
cts, the purses, and the bankers BAL
ances of Americans, who are proverbial-
ly the most liberal among travellers.
Russians come second, Brazilians third.

The tides are carefully studied by the
fishermen, and they make their hauls

sound like fishing story with null

is true.
The aboriginal Indians caught few
fish at time; but they caught enough

pie in Baltimore and it's suburbs, and

Maryland and Virginia, rs we'll as in

the people supplied. SMITH D. FRY.

Guard Fund Exhausted

Adjt. Gen. Muehlberg, who has been
considering the situation carefully,
has come to the conclusion that the
state of Minnesota is absolutely with.
out a national guard fund. The ex-
penses of equipping and caring for the
three regiments of volunteers before
they were mustered into the volunteer
army depleted the national guard fund
and made necessary demands on the
general state fund. In time the state
will be REIN bursed by the national
government, but in the meantime it's
military fund is non-existent. It is
said that the state. will not be repaid
until congressional action is taken.
The state will now have to get along
without a national guard, or else bor-
row money pending the next session
of the legislature.

Lees Corps Goes to Cuba-Naval
Vessels Released.

New York. Aug. 1.-The<Washingto
correspondent of the Times says:
General Lees Seventh corps, at Jack
sonville, has always been intended for
duty in Cuba late in the fall, and it
will certainly go there at that time,
whether for offensive operation in case
Havana is not surrendered or as the
army of occupation after peace. has
been concluded.
The reduction of the naval forces will
be of a more sweeping and immediate
character, it being the intention to dis
pose of nearly all the vessels that were
pressed into the service and improvised
for various hostile operations since the
Maine was blown up. The first step
has already been taken by the orders
issued yesterday returning the ST. Paul
and the St Louis to New York as soon
as they could leave the West Indies.
Their guns will be taken off at once,
their naval officers detached, including
Captain Sigsbee and Captain Goodrich
and as speedily as the vessels can be
restored to the condition they were in
when the navy acquired them, they will
be delivered to their former owner, the
American line. The Harvard and Yale
will be given UP a week or so later, and
the navy will then cease paying S, 900
day for these four vessels, hich for
the last few weeks have been used ex-
clusively by the army as transports.
Perhaps the army will be able to char
ter the vessels for a, time, or at least
until the owners consider it advisable
TO undertake a restoration OF their
voyages. 1t is almost
certain that the war department, if
to send additional reinforce
ment to aN1nila, will promptly impress
these vessels and hurry them around to
the Pacific for that purpose.
The naval authorities have also
shown their confidence in the result of
the peace negotiations by ordering at
least three of the heavier warships to
New York for repairs.
