sides. The crown is always low and fiat
and left plain, however the rest may be
ornamented.
The alpine shape and three or four diff
ferent shapes in Tam O'Shanter style are
offered for the cyclists. These are in straw
of rather pliable quality and in checks
wrought by braiding. The sides in two of
the shapes ate lifted very sharply and held
up by an ornament holding q couple OF
heron's plumes.
For children the brilns are wider and
the crown higher. There are gypsy shapes
with pagodalike crowns and ruff1es of rib
bon or silk null along on the edge all
| around the brim. Bows of the same in
large loops are set on one side or theo other.
These are for the little tots under 4 years.
A close examination of the finer kinds
of millinery for grown people shows three
or four shapes trimmed to be the exact re-
productions of those of a couple OF CEN
turtles ago. One had a fiaring bell crown
and a rather narrow brim. This crown
was covered with crushed silk null OF a
| tender pink in the form of a turban and 1t
was banded down every three inches all
around by narrow black velvet ribbons.
The brim had two rolls or puffs of the
same silk null strapped in the same way
and put on one above the other. Between
the crown and the upper one was a green
gauze ribbon, twisted with a small bow of
! the same under the brim at the back. At
the back of the crown there was a tower
| ing bunch of pink roses with their foliage.
One odd little shape had the brim turn
ed upward like a Chinese mandarin ; head
J gear. At the back there were two sharp
little gray wings sticking out straight.
| On the under edge of the brim there was a
narrow ruching of black lace, and on
each side was q regular windmill wheel Of
a rosette.
The ma iority of the hats and bonnets,
too have ona mr. two high, sharp, stiff
looms If h and nearly all the flower
effects are hioh and massed in one place,

ming is, laid out wide and low. One green

Few Pms Like This.

While Mr.. Webster was once address
ing the Senate on the subject Of inter-
nal Improvements, and every Senator
wa listening with close attention, the
clock commenced striking, but instead of
striking twice at 2 P. M, continued to
strike without cessation more than forty
times, says Current Literature" All
eyes were turned to the clock, and Mr..
Webster remained silent until the clock
struck about twenty, when he thus APP
pealed to the chair:-'Mr. President, the
clock is out of order! I lave the foor!'
To say that a long and loud laugh from
every Senator and person in the august
chamber was INDUCED in is a fam de-
s~cription of the merriment this exquisite
pun produced.

COFFEE is CHEAP.
Its Present PsEcc Saves the United
states Over 100000, Doc a Year.

Hts Present FefcC saves tho OnlteO
states Over $4,000, 900 a Year.
The farmer who is not happy this year
must be a very ill-conditioned sort of per-
son. Big cropssand good prices are not all
he has to be thankful for. The staple ux-
ury of his table, coffee, is so cheap that it
must be a very poor farmer, indeed, who
cannot afford to drink the exhilarating
beverage without stint. The proceeds of
a bushel of wheat will now buy twice as
many pounds of coffee as in some former
years when wheat was worth even TWEEN
ty-five cents to fifty cents a bushel more
than at present. No. 7 coffee is quoted
under six cents a pound at importing
points-the lowest price IN record, except
ing possibly that in 1882.
Large profits heretofore when prices
ruled high greatly stimulated the coffee
industry. The areas of production were
much extended; and as the young trees
are now beginning to bear the yield is
becoming excessive. The next crop prom
ises to be even larger than that of this
year. 1t is stated that much of the new
growth will yield its first berries next sea-
son. 1t is. therefore, probable that for
some tim to come we shall ave an album
dance of coffee, and at prices that will not
only gladden. the farmers, but also the
hearts of all the good housewives in the
land; and experts say that its quality will
be superior, as the young trees yield a
better product han do the old ones.
These assurances should also be COM
forting to those who count the country's
income and outgo, and who are anxious
about trade balances. This country buys
onn1ral1u fhop A mn 000 ho orc nf onf-
fee, which in times quite recent cost $50,
900, 900 to $40, 000,0O more than it is costing
now. In other words, we may now keep
at home that much gold, or an equal
value in products. which we formerly sent
abroad in part settlement of our coffse
bills; or we may sell the usual surplus
and get hat much cash.
Coffee is but one of the many important
articles of import we are now buying at
lowsand greatly reduced prices, and which
are telling factors in the extraordinary
foreign trade balance accommodating in our
favor. This influence is of greater con-
sequence than is generally supposed.
Large exports of breadstuffs and in
creased sales abroad of the products of
our mills, with due allowance for de-
creased quantities of imports, do not ac-
count for monthly balances exceeding
$50. 900, 900. We are selling to other coun-
tries an unusual amount of many arti-
cles, some of them at good prices; on the
other hand, we are buying less from them
than usual. But of still greater moment
in the long run is the fact hat man.
things we buy cost less than formerly,
and will probably remain cheap indein-
itely. If in the future the prices of grain
shall be lower, and the demand less, we
may accept the situation with better
grace n less anxiety SO long as coffef
and uga and many other important ar
ticles of import can be obtained at pres
ent low values.-Philadelphia Record.

Dah1ias Coming Into Vogue Again
The dahlia has proved the truth of the
old saying that "an things come around
to those who stand and wait" After
years of neglect this one popular plant
has been taken in hand by the florists,
and now it looks as if we were to have
a dahlia craze. The semi-double varie-
ties will be more popular than the single
sorts, because of the greater mass of
color afforded by their larger flowers,
and the old, very double type will be
again in favor. Some of the new varie-
ties are described as being wonderfully
fine, especially a white kline called Snow
bird and a soft yellow variety named
Mrs. Dutton, but there are SO many listed
as new that further special mention
would be out Of place, SO 1 refrain there
from.-Ladies' Home Journal.

BeaDs, Bird. ana Turtles.


Trinidad is perhaps the principal breed
ing place for sea birds in the South At
lantic. The deposit of guano is conse-
quently great. There are traces of
abundant extinc vegetation. The noun
tain slopes are thickly covered with dead
trees, strewn as closely together as it is
possible for trees to grow. There used
to be herds of goats and pigs on the is
lard, but none seem to be there now. The
slopes of the windward side of The TRIM
dad are overgrown chiefly with a sturdy
species of beans. They are edible and
grow SO thickly that with these, the fish,
the turtles, the birds and their eggs-all
of which are procurable without any diff
culty-it is possible in Trinidad to ward
off starvation for any length of time.
The Trinidad turtles are plentiful and of
large size, weighing from 500 to 700 pounds
and their flavor is excellent.

Judge Hiram Knowles has decided
that an enclosure means an enclosure
and nothing less. Among the cases
tried at this term OF court was that
of the United States VS.. Samuel Bean.
Bean was charged with illegally fenc-
ing and enclosing the public domain
I'm the vicinity of Raymond, in Teton
county. 1t was shown that Bean
had built a fence about a consider
able body of land, hut at one end he
had left an opening OF about mile
and a quarter. While range stock
would have to walk a considerable
distance around the fence to get to
the opening, nevertheless there, W as "A

Both amendments to the constitu.
tion were carried by large majoritiel
at the recent election. That relating
to county commissioners is designed
to prevent a complete change in the
personnel of the board of county COM
missioners every four years. Under
it's provisions the term OF the CON-
missioners who were elected in No.
vember, 1896, will expire the first
Monday in January, 1908, while at
the general election to be held in No
vember, 1902. one commissioner shall
be elected for two years and two
commissioners for term of four
years, their terms to begin in Janu
ary, 1903. In that Way the boards
of county commissioners in no case
may be composed entirely OF new
men, but there will be on each board
two members who have had previous

Return of the Volunteers.

Colorado papers started it and
Montana papers have participated
in the discussion of when the troops
in the Philippines Were likely to be
returned home. 1t appears that
Gov. Adams of Colorado desired to
obtain the discharge of a member of
the Colorado regiment and in reply
ing TO this request, Adiutant General
Corbin wrote under date of Nov. IA:
''In reply have the honor to in
form you that it is the purpose of
the war department to return to the
United States within a few months
the volunteer regiments now serving
in Manila, other volunteer regiments
now being on their way to replace
them. 1t is believed this will have
been accomplished and the soldier
for whom you write will return to
discharge were ordered immediate
ly."
From this the impression was
drawn that the Colorado regiment
would return early i'm January and
then, in it's turn, the Montana volun-
teers would be restored to their
peaceful pursuits. As the Montana
boys did not reach Manila until at
least six weeks later than those of
the Centennial state, the former
might have been expected in March.
But all these hopes are blasted.
The rocky Mountain News of Denver
wired Secretary Alger about the
matter and received the following
reply, which it published under date
of November II.
mo thought has been given to
muster out the Colorado regiment,
nor will there be until peace is de-
clared."
The News says the apparent dis
agreement between the two messages
is causing considerable speculation as
to whether a change has occurred in
the Philippine situation in the past
week.
We do not believe that the depart.
ment ever contemplated returning
those Philippine troops until peace
had been declared. The boys were
sent there at their own request, it is
a long journey and one fraught with
as well as an expensive
bit OF sea voyage to the government. |
So near as can be learned the volun-
teers are doing nicely; there has been
much sickness to be sure, but the |
death rate seems to have been hardly |
above that prevailing under ordinary
We should all he glad
to know that peace has been so
settled that the country no
onger has need for the volunteer

Of the soldier would be pleased to
rave them speedily returned to their
ZONES, but let us not unduly hasten
affairs. The brave boys will be
out in good time and
meanwhile are not suffering such
untold hardships" as the yellow
including some Montana
,apers, would have us believe.
