Ellen Osborne's Letter.

New York, May 12-The summer girl
is hatless.
It is also true that the summer hat is
alluring.
The fad Of going bareheaded is carried
to all lengths, from the mild measure
of hanging the hat within convenient
reach on the handle bars Of a bicycle to
the more heroic one of golfing or play
ing croquet for hours without head-cov-
ering.
The girls who are seen on the broad
lawns of the beautiful country places
of Long Island or ever driving through
the woods of that pleasant rolling coun-
try, protected at most by a parasol or a
blowing scarf of fish net or tulle, expect
to gain a glossy wealth Of hair, not equal
perhaps to peasant wOman's, but certain
to be envied by all their associates. Sea
bathing has long been an excuse with
wise and willy girls for sitting for hou
in the sand with hair loosened for its
bath in the sun and air, nj the new ma
MIA is but an extension of this wholesome
idea.
OF course there are many compro
misses. The curly head whose hair is
never SO pretty as when tossed about in
widest confusion, while she sits her
horse or pedals her silent steed or bends
to the oars of her boat, has this summer
even more than her usual advantage.
The simpler and more careless her Golf
fure the greater her triumph. But she
Of the straight locks, with whose nursed
and cherished Cancellations" wind and
damp make witchwork, is ais canny in
her day and generation.
Never have so many clever little combs
SO many pins surmounted by butterflies
or flowers, SO many bows of gauZe, so
many innocent-looking and ornamental
but most efticacious contrivances been
seized upon for Delaying and making
fast refractory tresses. And not for many
years, so many the suspicious, has SO
much "borrowed' hair been disported
as now lends fluffiness to the uncovered
head and the newly necessary bang. But
in the disposition of ornament or addi-
ton no small amount of art is required
for it is above all things urgent that The
hair shall not appear borrowed or be-
layed.
The most successful couture for thu
bare-headed girl is a loose p%ompadour
wide at the sides, with the rest of the hal,
dressed in a high top knot, to which, fol
the summer hotel piazza, flower, a wis.,
of tulle or a gauZy scarf, half ornament
al, half protection, is attachable.
For the tennis court, the golf links o.
the woods ramble, there is as yet nj
prospect of the revival of last summer
sun bonnets; but women young enough
not to be made ridiculous, whether hat
less or with whatever variety of hat af
fected, show not ~infrequently the Ion,
braids Of the school girl.
To an observer it might appear tina

lief from hat or bonnet, for never hav

commanding tone.
They all stood up except the stranger

Fooled Gen. Miles.

A queer joke was played ON Gen. Miles
at Fort Thomas. near Newport, KY.
when he participated in the unwilling of
a memorial to Col Egbert, one Of the
gallant officers killed in the Philippines,
says an exchange. 1t will be surprise
to the general to learn that one of the
tablets he received in the name of the
United States was not what he called
enduring bronze A plaster cast of the
Egbert tablet had to be put up instead
of the real one. The tablet was made at
Hamilton, o.. but was delayed by the
breaking of the bronze plate while cool
ing. To prevent a delay in the cere-
monies someone devised the plan of put
ting up an imitation, painted to resemble
the original so closely that detection was
almost impossible. When the case was
unpacked six men carried it to the tower.
each exhibiting signs OF intense strain on
account of the weight. Next morning
Capt. Jackson, who is in charge of the
fort, was notified that the tablet was not
bronze. He detailed man to test it
with knife, the result being confrma-
ton of the statement. The real bronze
will soon replace the plaster.

Tales of Sauer.

Here are two stories about Emil Sauer,
the German pianist, in the Los Angeles
Times: One time. while Sauer was a
student of music, he walked up to man
who was playing the piano at country
dance, and, tapping him on the shoulder.
said: My friend. let me show you a
few things about playing the piano that
you don't know" The man became in
dignant and a fight ensued. After the
disturbance had been quelled Sauer be-
gan playing and was kept at it for hours.
Once. in German town, when the
weather was hot, Sauer decided to have
his hair cut, it having grown longer than
usual. What was his surprise. as ne

SECRETARY HAYS TRIBUTE TO
1HE BLIND MAN

THE poem written by our secretary or
state, John Hay, on the blind man, is one
which he need have no desire to drop out
of memory. He is not likely to surpass
it with any of his state papers, and it will
be read when they are muSty achiveS We
give it in part below.
He stood before the Sanhedrim
The Scowling rabbits gazed at him.
He rocked not of their praise or blame:
There was no fear. there was no shame,
For one upon daZzled eyes
The whole poured its vast surprise
But still they questioned: Who art thou
What hast thou been? What art thou now
Thou art not he who yesterday
Sat here and begged beside the way.
He told the story Ger and DER.
1t was his full hearts ONLY lore.
A prophet on the Sabbath day
Had touched his sightlesS eyes with clay,
And made him see VINO had been oind
Their words passed by him like the wind.
Which raves and bowls, but cannot shock
The hundred-fathom rooted rock
Their threats and fury all went wide
They could not touch his Hebrew pride,
Their SneerS at Jesus and his band,
Homeless and harmless in the land;
Their boasts of Moses and his Lord
All could not change him by one word.
4 know not what this man may be-
Sinner or saint; but as for me-
One thing l know, that l am he
Who once was blind, and now | see.
The wisdom of the East was theirs
And honor crowned their silver hairs.
The man they jeered and laughed to sc0rn
Was unlearned. poor and humbly born;
But he knew better far than they.
What came to him that Sabbath day.
And what the Christ had done for him
lie knew, and not the Sanhedrim.

Weeks and Even Longer.
Here is a method by which flowers can
be made to last and look we'll after hey
have been cut for six weeks, or even
longer, placing them thus within the
reach of even the poorest lover of flow
ers. Every night they should be taken
out of the vases, and the stalks should be
thoroughly rinsed under tap of running
water, any decomposed matter being care
fully removed with the fingers. Have
ready basin of strong soapsuds and
place them in it for the night. Be care
full that the water touches only the
stalks, as it would fade the delicate bios
SONS; this supplies them with certain
amount of nouriShment
Rinse the stalks the next morning in
running water, and as each bloom is
ready to be placed in the vase Of fresh
water. snip off the smallest possible por-
ton of the stalk with 9 pair of sharp
scissors; in arranging them be very care
full to trim away any faded pieces A
few drops of sulphate of ammonia must
then be put in each vase every alternate
day, and will contain all the properties
of good manure for keeping the blossoms
alive.
At night, put the blossoms away in a
cool, dark place; it is not good either for
the flowers or the household that they
should remain in the living room
To revive flowers put them into warm
salt water, to which has been added q
few drops of sulphate of ammonia To

place them on damp cotton wool under q
basin; this keeps the air away and pre-
serves their freshness 1t is especially
