SOFT GRAY FELT HAT.
Moods Expressed by 1t by Young
Women as Well as Young Men.

Not many years ago every boy be-
tween Is and 10 who was accustomed to
city life and made a pretence of follow
ing fashions wore a bang without being
considered effeminate. A summer mani
festation of his carelessness of cOnse-
consequences and his independence of the
rest of mankind was the exposure of
that bang under a straw hat pushed back
on his head. Take up a few tintypes
printed from twelve to fifteen years ago
and nine out of ten boys VIII have the
bang and the tilted-back straw hat. A
few years later this same spirit of youth
was shown by persistently turning up the
collar of a covert coat. That showed its
wearer to be possessed of a certain au-
dacity of character. The turned-up collar
seems to have gone out of fashion as the
symbol of these moods, but the spirit sur
wives and is expressed today by a turn
ing down Of the hat brim.
Its adaptability to this purpose has
done more than anything else to keep
the soft felt hat in style. The same hat
gives young women an opportunity to
express their feelings. 1t meant nothing

to be the absence of long gloves and the

Mrs. Ladenburg is at present in Lon
don, where she enjoys the friendship of
the Prince of Wales, who makes 1t his
duty to look out for new and charming
American women and to introduce them
to English society. The Prince met. Mrs
Ladenburg at Pau this winter and she
spent much time in his society, 1t is not
uncommon for the prince to fraternize on
the Continent with people he does not care
to see at home, but this was not SO with
Mrs. Ladenburg, for he encouraged her
to come to London. She has therefore
spent the most brilliant part Of the season
there, which eliminates with the Ascot
races. 1t is not surprising that the re-
port of the impending wedding should
have cropped up while she was in Europe,
for distance means little to those who
have nothing but time and money. Be-

THE CLIMATE oF PoRTo RIco.

On the whole. Porto Rico has the mcst salut:ious climate and engenders the smallest number Of physical ail- merts among the unaccliIated of all the regions Of the western hemisphere within the torrid zone. In any coun- try where vegetation grows rank and IuXuriant, where the suns are hot and the rainfalls frequent, disease is nee essarily more prevalent. but Porto Rico has been remarkably free from the sc0urge5 which aflict the people of the adacent isles; moreover. it should be remembered, in summing I'D the that this fair condition eX- fs.t5 on an island where the population is. and has been for centuries, more dense than that of almost any other purely agricultural section of the new Weekly.

 F.er5 his E3yish prdclivitizs. he has a strong desire to do something With
 his hands Tn him the constructive in
 stinct is strong until 1t is smothered 1 by the curriculum of the public schools.
 That this defect in the public school cUrriculi is generally recognized is ev- idenced by the number of private in Istitutions that have sprung up all over the country to supply one of the mani fest needs of a boys education, a training that takes account of the fact that boy cannot be properly and broadly developed by packing his cran- ium with labcriously memorized facts. It is trus that many high schools in the larger cities have recognized this need by adding manual training de- partmentS, and Q few have established well equipped workshops supplied with modern woodworking machinery and machinists' tools. But the public schools as a rule are operated in con f0rmity with a curriculum that is framed upcI the theory that q boy con- sists entirely of g.o5ular repository filled with memorizing faculty.
 It is net designed that the 3ubiic schools shall turn out carpenters or catin5t-mal1ers CT machinists, no more than they should turn out bcckIeepers or doctors.

OUR SOLDIERS.

The hard and earnest work of the ] American trcops on the island of Lu- fzcn is just now attracting attention to the efficiency of the volunteer rsgi-
 ments there. Those men have demon
 strated their fitness for the difficult
 task set before them and they are prop
 erly the subject of favorable comment. These volunteers are continually be- l ing reported as cheerful and prompt to
 act. Side by side with their fellows of
 the regular army they march through jungles and make their camps thsre
 fighting as they go. There is no dis tinction between the temporary sOi- dier and the professional soldier, and already the temporary soldiers have
 assumed the character Of regulars
 They have been in the field for months
 and they have been quick to adapt
 themselves to new conditions. At the
 time of the campaign at Santiago there
 was disposition-although uninten-
 tional-to pass the regular army ren
 by in the desire to applaud the new
 recruits; but in time the regular men received their just share of praise and appTobadiOn Backed by the regulars the volunteers were stimulated to dc their best and during the serious days before Sactiago every man under arms was equal to the emergency and ready to do whatever came to him in the per fOrmance of a most dangerous duty Side by side again are the regulars and the volunteers battling against the Fill ipino hordes.
 There is no distinction. They are ore and all American soldieT8-types Of American vis0r and manhood and the patriotism of a great country They march together, light together, sleep together, fall together and die together. All honor and credit | to the brave and valient men who are now doing their part in maintaining the integrity of their country. '; hat | ever of praise is to be uttered must | be for the American soldier without re- gard to whether he is q regular or a volunteer. They are the same kind of | men, the only difference being that the | regular army man has adopted the fife of 9 soldier as a profession, while tine | volunteer is simply doing a soldiers duty in the time Of an emergency.
 We do net fear for the ultimate re- suit with such magnificent men in the field. It is 8 matter for sorrow that nearly two hundred of them have giv- II up their lives and that several more hundreds have suffered from wounds. But they do not complain. Man for nan they accepttheir duty and the:r re- and the dangers attached hereto as brave men. They recognize I nly that the supremacy of the United States must be maintained

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

One of the tive great. parties is yir-
 tUally inexperienced for national serv-
 ice. It is hopelessIy demoraIized and
 divided. Nothing Of the kind can, On
 the ether hand, be said of the party ir
 p-lEer. IL wih send to the polls next
 yea candidates who have established
 substantial claims upon popular cen
 sideration. There is little doubt that
 the cOuntry's prOsr -rity will survive the neX5 presidential fight. The trade
 balance in our favor will be larger
 than ever, business will be booming in
 every state and the republicans will
 contend with not Q little show of req son that some of the credit for all this should figure in their political accounts.
 They will also include among their assets the happy consequences of the
 war with Spain and maintenance of every dollar at rar with every other dollar. The platform can be antici- p2ted. It will contain glittering allu- siOns to the tIiumChs Of American arms. the Unalterable determination of the United States hOnO.ably to fulfill all Of it's financial obligations and the absence Of hard times. ID this ex- tent at least the structure will, So to speak, be bullet-proof. Long before it's preparation has begun AguinaldO and Nf fight, and iC will be possible for ths party to make equally glowing allu- siOns to the achievements supplement- ing the defeat of MCntojo. So there is nothing far-fetched about the suppo- sitiOn that 0na of the national con ventions next year will be other than bowling wilderness.
 There is warrant foE the statement that the people of the United States will not r5Dudiate any Of their financial obligations. There is almost as much warrant for the statement that they favor expansion. It is probable that their sentiments on these subjects will ind expression only in the convention .alled to order under republican aus 1iccs. Sound money democrats may construct 3 platform on their own ac- count, as they did in '9G but in other directions they mast necessarily take | ssue with the republicans or join them Il body. and the Monroe doctrine | may serve their differentiating puT- poses. However, this is a ccmpara- lively long look ahead. The point of [ is that the party in pawer is con ,ronted by few perplexities Its policy l ,annct be seriously debated.
