Began smoking Late : in, Life.

General Benjamin f. Tracy, former
Secretary of the Navy, and who is at
present an associate Of General Ben
jamin Harrison in representing this
Government In the matter of the Vene'
zuelan boundary dispute; finds the
keenest enjoyment In smoking. During
his recent voyage to Paris he passed q
good deal Of his time In the smoking
room of the steamer, But the Gen
eral was nearly 80 years old before he
acquired the taste for tobacco. Pre-
vious to that time smoking made him
Ill. ~ -
During the early '70s he was engaged
as counsel in q celebrated case and was
compelled to devote not only the day
but the greater part Of the night, to his
task. Once, when he was thoroughly
tagged out, an associate suggested that
a cigar with his coffee might have a
soothing effect General Tracy sue
cumbed to the temptation, and before
he was aware of it had finished his
third cigar. They seemed to quiet his
nerves, and he was able to work over
his papers the whole of the night
Since that time, perhaps out Of graft
tude for the effect of those three CT
gars, General Tracy has been a smoker.

So many of these double and triple

designers have expended a deal Of in
genuity in devising new methods Of trim

ribbons, lace insertions and bands and
applied bands of cloth. The liking for
needlework and fancy hand work, too,
has been so marked as almost to consti-

preference for fat effects, and the run of

mings has not brought into stylishness
any Objectionable forms Of Overdress.
The lace drapery has been applied quite
or nearly fiat, and hip outline, exact as
the sheath skirt makes it, has been inter
fered with very little. This is true in
face of the fact that fashion indorses
double and triple skirts of many patterns,
and so shows all the more strongly how
effective feminine opposition to draped
skirts has been. AS a result of this adj
herence to fiat trimmings, the double
skirt has improved greatly in appearance
and the triple skirt has come TO be an
arrangement Of much grace. Especially
is the latter becoming to a tall and slen-
der woman. A triple skirt after the one
shown in the next illustration will help
greatly to bring pleasing outlines to an
almost scrawny wearer. Such models
may be criticised for the manner in
which they cut up new goods, but the
fashionable Endorsement of the method
is unqualified.

Observer May Tell the Time Of Day

A most curious phenomenon has been
observed In the fiow of an, qrtesian well
on Kealia plantation, Kahai. The
water has regular variations In its
dow. being lewest 81 8 O'Clock In the
morning, gradually rising until 1t at
tains its greatest flow at 2 O'Clock In
the afternoon. and then. an gradually
falling until O'clock In the morning.
Manager George ii. Fairchild Of the
plantation thus describes the peculiar
phenomenon: ~
"The top of the pipe is thirteen feet
above sea level. AT eight feet there is
a flow of about 100000 gallons in
twenty-four hours. BY adding five feet
more OF pipe the flow stops. We have
had this extra five feet of pipe on top
of the well for a month or more, wait
ing for extra pipe to conduct the water
to the mill where IL is to be used. We
have noticed peculiar action Of this
column Of water, and have been I'M
able to find any explanation Of 1t. If
the publication of the facts will lead to
an explanation will be very much
gratlfed.
THE column of water In this five
feet additional pipe placed to prevent
the flow at O'clock In the morning Is
at it's lowest point one and one-haff
inches below the top of the pipe. Then
1t rises until at noon it begins to flow
over the pipe. The flow increases until
2 o'clock, when there is quite flow.
From that time IL gradually falls, until
at IL o'clock at night there is very
slight flow, and this ceases at o'clock
In the morning, the water gradually
falling until it reaches the lowest point,
at s O'Clock. when 1t begins to rise
again.
1T has been suggested that this
change in flow is due to the tides or to
the rotation of the earth or to the in
fiuence of the sun. 1t is interesting

THREE CURRENT TYPES OF EXPERIMENTATION.

There has so far been so much reason
ably cool weather this summer that the
possessor of cloth gowns has had an ad-
vantage, but August is pretty sure to see
a rush to organizes and like fabrics, un-
less very unusual weather conditions for
bid. In the newest of these there is a
noticeable tendency toward closeness of
outline. The next of these pictures is IL
Illustrative of this point. 1t was without
frills except well down ut foot of the
skirt. The big design of the goods was
in quaint cashmere colors on an old fash
toned pink ground. The foundation skirt
was a delicate green that showed at the
yoke, and the flounce of lace set on the
skirt allowed the green of the underskirt
to show through. The sleeves were COW
cred with overlapping rows of lace like
that between organdy and foot founce.
In spite Of widespread favor for coats
contrasting with the material of skirt
or overskirt, very graceful gowns are
made with jacket or bodice matching the
top skirt, yoke, perhaps, matching the
underskirt. The straight-front jacket,
with one-piece back skirt and hips short.
is still worn. When carefully shaped to
the wearer's figure such jacket is jaun-
ty and becoming. In to-day's last pic
ture is an attractive model the gown be-
ing white ladies' cloth in combination
with white net showing scroll cording.
This form Of overdress with its long back
is especially graceful, as is the slope of
the under portion almost to the hip.
Rarely in new gowns of this general Or
der is the yoke otherwise than short on
the shoulders.
The hats of these pictures are repre-
sentative of current millinery. The tiny
butter plate or headdress affair is NOT
being much worn. Unless the stylish
dresser is willing to get under a good
sized and rather elaborate hat, she goes
without.

these garments, individual taste having
free license, and so the selection of
typical lace coat for illustration Is not an
altogether easy task. The. one pictured
here, however, is as fairly representative
as any single one could be. The gown
Of which it was part was of chartreusc
green cloth, and the coat, which was over
waist of silk to match the skirt, was
black net lace with embroidered figures
in blended cashmere colors. A border of
lace to match was on the skirt, frills Of
silk escaping below it. This lace coat
was made one with the silk beneath, but
many such costumes show a coat that
can be slipped on over any bodice. AS no
loss of .dressiness or stylishness results
from making in the latter manner, it is to
be recommended over the other, MS tend
ing toward economy.

and bodice we've banded with row on row
OF block lace insertion alternating with
groups Of tucking. Sometimes instead Of
rows straight around the skirt, or OF wav-
ed or pointed bands, the insertion or rib
bon is carried In an unbroken spiral to
where 1t ends In the circle Of the collar.
Only graceful figure can stand this sort
ofatwistins. Bands tapping at the waist,
and spreading as they extend perpendicu-
larry to the edge Of the skirt and to the
shoulder line Of the bodice, are generally
more becoming than are horizontal or
spiral bands.
Speaking generally, the liking for the
lace coat idea finds expression in gar
ments not much longer than that shown

Coffee for lnebrfates.

A traveller has made the observation
that coffee drinking people are very
seldom given to drunkenness. In Bra
zil, for instance, where coffee is grown
extensively, and all the inhabitants
drink 1t many times a day, intoxica-
ton Is rarely seen. The effect Is MI
only noticeable among the natives,
but the foreigner who settles there,
though possessed of ever such a pas
sion for strong drink, gradually loses
his liking for alcohol as he acquires the
coffee drinking habit of the Brazilian.

in the first Of these pictures. Occasion
ally the notion is carried out with some
semblance to long coat, and the result
is usually very rich in appearance. The
was one of these, the coat effect coming
from lace polonaise. This was in one
with the yoke and opened to show the
front of bodice and skirt. Its very heavy
black net was covered closely with linen
colored roses stitched in black. Bodice
and skirt, which were princess in effect
in front, were Of linen colored bengaline.

Fertility and Mineral sIanure.


There Is widespread belief among
farmers that while stable manure in
creases fertility the application OF min
eral commercial fertilizers tends to
more rapidly exhaust it. Really, how
ever, to the extent that manure In any
form makes bigger crops than what 1t
supplies plant food for. 1t tends to cx-
haustion. Applying nothing but stable
manure, which Is usually deficient In
phosphate and potash, takes those min
erals out of the soil faster than they
would be drawn were the manure not
used. The loss Of the mineral ele-
ments Is not so easily seen as the
waste of vegetable matter in the soil
where only the commercial mineral
fertilizers are used. Besides, the min
eral manure is generally sold in form
to be quickly taken up by crops. 1t is
impossible to make stable manure so
soluble that some Of its elements will
not be left in the soil for future crops.

The Toad in the Garden.


To most people toad is nothing but
an unsightly reptile which is to be
Stunned. The toad Is a reptile, to be
sure, but 1t is one that is not only harm
less, but is of great use to the garden
er, as every worm or insect that comes
within reach Is devoured greedily
Centipedes caterpillars, blister beetles
and bugs of every kind are equally
welcomed by the toad. He uses them
all alike. Half dozen toads in the
garden will keep 1t free from most Of
the ordinary garden pests. They are
easily tanned and spend the day in
some shaded nook along the fence or
under a cabbage leaf coming sedately
forth at night to find their food

600 feet Of mahogany lumber on sim

was brought to this country on slow
sailing vessels twenty-five years ago,
100000 feet Is brought on rapid
steamers now. The character Of the
wood has changed, however. The best
mahogany came from Cuba and San
Domingo. but all the mahogany near
the roads and waterways was used.
There Is still plenty OF mahogany in
Cuba, but 1t is TOO difficult and expen-
sive to obtain. The mahogany of San
Domingo and Cuba was superior in
hardness, In the beauty of its grain,
and In its susceptibility to high pol
ish. Next in quality Is the Nicaraguan
wood, which is imported in large guam
titles. The American firm which has
the sole control Of the wood on the
Atlantic coast Of Nicaragua is under
contract to plant two trees for every
one cut down, and these, 1t is esti-
mated, will be ready for the market
in fifty years.
Africa has millions of acres Of ma
hogany, which is just beginning to
come into the market. but 1t is not as
good in quality as the Nicaragua wood.

Oh, it is the sound of my choice!

And swings by a string to and fro,
That peals out its summons, mems lives

Three times ev'ry day as they go.
l love the cock-crow at the coming of
morning,
Lambs bleating gives pleasure to me;

To where he roosts snug in a tree.
There's music for me in a big wagons
rattle;
The clack Of moving machAe
Will set me to dreaming, while bawling
of cattle,
Or whinny Of colts on the green,
Is sure not to jar on my peace and con-
tentment,
And even a cackling old hen
Or loud squealing porker calls up no
resentment,
And I'm prone to listen; but when
There floats on the air from the tree

That summons so loud and SO sweet,
Ger HILL dale and woodland it echoes SO

So far-reaching, piercing and feet,

To all it means surcease OF toll;
"Refreshment and rest" is the burien

To labor-worn tillers of soil.

From bayfield, and fallow, life's hour to
