NATUR1 '.

Again we are impressed by the large and varied noise and the large and va ried eating and drinking which accom- pany the climax of education. It has been evident this week in these diggings that the educated man hasn't had his natural force educated out of him, or, at least, his natural noise and his natural appetite and thirst. Chinese or New Jersey fireworks, German, Italian or mixed bands, and the voluminous and exuberant voices of the educated have rent the air in great shape, and have rent much sleep also Vast quantities of grub have been washed down with vast quantities of lemonade and other aid. And there have been hot times in the old town at night.
 We regret that there isn't delegation of our little brown Filipino rebels in New Haven this week. They could see and hear the performance and then go home and tell their misguided brothers and sisters that there's no use fighting folks who are so noisy and robustious even when most educated and refined

F1iSHION NOTES.
Blue Serge hIade Less simply

Blue serge enters into outing costumes as it always does, though not generally as 1t has done In recent summers. But the noticeable feature is not how much or how little of it is seen, but how stan dards in serge gowns have changed. It is not long since q plain short skirt and simple bolero or eton, with shirt waist, fitted one out finely. Now the so-called outing suits reflect the dainty finish that characterizes dress-ups, A very stylish sample from the current show ing is put in this picture. The serge was not a whit finer than that which has gone into outing suits for years, but the cut of the jacket was unconventional and the trimming of blue and white checked silk, which appeared in band on the skirt as well as in the jackets

facing, was ornamentation that two years ago would have been deemed pre- posterous. Similar treatment prevails in the more expensive outing rigs and is be- ing copied into the cheaper sorts. It effects decided gain in the appearance of the new gown, but there Is quite as decided loss from the utilitarian stand point. So the summer girl whose out ing gown is more in touch with the new models should be content. Hers won't give out long before the season is over nor look bedraggled after a few wear ings.
 Summer stockings are gayer and in greater variety than in recent years. Very pretty ones in all the best shades of gray-blue and navy blue, with white polka dotting, can by little hunting be found at very low prices. In delicate quality and good shape this white and blue stocking is the prettest wear pos sible with the low white tennis show that has come to seem exactly the right thing either field or ahoat Plaid stockings are not so much worn as those of elaborate openWork and clocking. Some very pretty effects are shown in stockings that stretch on the foot to lace-like openness, the white clocking at sides and front stretching, too Lisle and cotton are so beautifully made and colored that only the woman with very deep pocketbook supplies herself with silk for any but the choicest use.

THE BICYCLE TEHTCL

There has been trouble in Illinois over the legal status of the bicycle, but in response to the request of a wheel man the attorney general of H.
 linois has rendered an opinion on the legal status of the bicycle which should obviate the necessity for any further ap- peals to the courts of that State. Ac- cording to Attorney General Akin no special legislation is necessary to give to the bicycle all the rights secured to other vehicles. The attorney general quotes section v of the road law as fol- lows: Whenever any persons traveling with any carriages shall meet on any turnpike, road or public highway in this State, the persons so meeting shall seas onably turn their carriages to the right of the beaten track, so as to permit each carriage to pass without interference or interrupting, under the penalty of $5 for every neglect or offense, to be recov- cred by the party aggrieved; provided, this section shall not be construed to apply to case where it is impracticable from the nature of the ground for the driver of the carriage or wagon to turn to the right of the beaten track" And section 68 of the same law says: The term carriage, as used in this act, shall he construed to include stage-cnac cheS wagons, carts, sleighs, sleds and every other carriage or vehicle used for the transportation of passengers and goods, or either of them.

The leader of the expedition is to be Dr, von Drygalski, who conducted the German exploration of Greenland irs the years 1S91-93. The committee ex- presses great satisfaction that the Eng fish Antarctic expedition has been de- cided on, and points out the great scien- tifc value of two sets of meteorological observations. When the International
 Geographical Congress meets in Berlin in October it is probable that some scheme of cooperation will be arranged.

OUR CTGAR ETTES IN THE EAST.

According to figures of export, compil- ed at Tacoma, American-made cigar cites are rapidly growing in favor in the far East. From the beginning of the year to the middle of June 19S car loads have been received on the coast, which have been transferred to steam ships and taken to the Orient, principal ly to China and Japan, although the people of the Philippine Islands con- sume a considerable quantity. The average weight of the contents in cigar cites of car was 32,4S0 pounds, exclud- ing the weight of the cases and pack ages, making a total of 5,531 040 pounds of cigarettes On the basis of two hun dred and fifty cigarettes to the pound, which is as near the weight as can be estimated, this gives a total of more than a billion and quarter of cigar cites. These figures are somewhat be- rushed into Japan just before the higher tariff law went into effect January i have not been consumed. It is consid- cred that the average consumption in Oriental countries of American cigar cites amounts to approximately six hun dred carloads a year.
 Good. Perhaps if we can't conquer the Filipinos with our arms we can with our cigarettes.

THE IDEAL AMERICAN CITIZEN
 AS DESCRIBED BY ROBERT

THE IDEAL AMERICAN CITIZEN AS DESCRIBED BY ROBERT GRANT.
 The American citizen of the finest type is essentially a man or woman of simple character and the effect of our Institutions and mode of thought, when rightly appreciated, is to produce sim
 plicity. The American is free from the glamour or prejudice which results from the conscious or unconscious influ-
 ence of the lay figures of the old pollti- cal social, or religious world from the glamour of royalty and vested caste, of an established or dominant church, of artistocratlc, monkish, or military priv ilege. He is neither impelled nor all lured to subject the liberty of conscience or opinion to the conventions appurte- nant to these former forces of society.
 For him the law of the state, in the making of which he has a voice, and the authority of his own judgment are the only arbiters of his conduct He &C., cords neither to fineness of race nor force of intellect the right of artisto- cratic exclusiveness which they have too often hitherto claimed. To the cloistered nun he devotes no special reverence; he sees in the naughty and condescending fine gentleman an object for the exercise of his humor, not of servility; he is indifferent to the claim of all who by reason of lf-congratula- tion or ancient custom arrogate to them selves special privileges on earth, or special privileges in heaven. This tenn per of mind when unalloyed by shall low conceit, begets quiet self-respect and simple honesty of judgment, emi- nently serviceable in the struggle to live wisely,
 To the best citizens of every nation the most interesting and vital of all questions is what we are here for, what men and women are seeking to accom- plish, what is to be the future of hu- man development. For Americans of the best type, those who have learned to be reverent without losing their in- dependence and without sacrifice of orig inality, the problem of living Is simpli- fled through the elimination of the in fluence of these symbols and conven- tions Their outlook is not confused or deludsd by the spacious dogmas of caste. They perceive that the attainment of

 hopes! To be sure, the score was only to 3, but in the wrong place can look big and bad, and in the wrong place can look much smaller than it really is. It is something in the dearth of fame to come within one of being famous, but it is hard to realize this great truth when fame is perching on the other fellow. It is perhaps better not to try to realize it just now when we are tired. If we don't get perched on at New London tomorrow we can then sit calmly down and think that we came near winning the ball game and just missed winning the race. If we do get perched on at New London we can rejoice in our strength on the water and look with mitigated eyes on the land score of 4 to 8.

Some professional gentlemen of Balti- more arranged a test to demonstrate that the average man employs only about five hundred words in his daily conversation. The test was half-hours s discussion of the tariff, carried on by a lawyer and a physician. In the course of the discussion the lawyer used 573 diff ferent words and the physician only 510. The tariff was selected as the topic pre- simably because there are few techni- cal terms connected with it, while a large number of words of general in- port are usually employed in incidental references.

Whether a priest slaves or not, says the Rev. Denis O'Donoghue, VicarGen eral of the Diocese of Indianapolis, lis largely matter of custom. Two hun dred years ago priests, as rule, wore boards. To-day in Indiana the Capt. chins at Franklin, and the members of the community of Notre Dame wear boards. In the Orient the clergy all wear boards, and are likely to continue to do so for all the years to come, as fashions do not change there Many hopes have worn boards. Cardinal Rich elieu wore mustachios and a goatee, such as to-day we would call an imperi- al. The founder of the Sulpicians, very correct religious order, wore mus tachios and a goatee. It is merely matter of custom. It may be that some day all priests in this country may elect to wear boards"

A valuable and peculiar product, es- peciaIly in the color industry can be produced from the soot of the acetylene flames. When such gas is burned with a smoking flame the result is the produc- tion of three or four times as great a quantity of soot as is the case with min era1 oils. Moreover, it is very light in weight, and exhibits an absolutely black color without tinge of brown, and has none of the tarry admixtures or other substances that characteristically ap- pear in lampblack. The substance is likewise noted for being very bulky, and is found to be admirably adapted in h. dia ink and the colors of fine inks for such Photographic work as requires positive black. It is now being manu factured in France by a patented pro- cess, almost absolute purity of color and texture being obtained at con1para- lively small cost.
