OF the new materials that one sees
there are innumerable new varieties
of silk on the market, and though
many of the silk dresses will be worn
covered with transparent fabrics in
the height of the summer, the silk is
an important factor even under mus
Inns and grenadines. The new intro
auctions will be used both alone and
in such goodly combination. One of
them is called epinette, and is so close
ly spotted, on a level with the surface,
as it were, as to give the impression
of hail lying on the ground. The
armure make is found in a large num-
Der of colors, and is at once strong
and light-looking. Shot silks, not in

yet, if smartly made, nice enough for
most times and seasons. To such
gowns a great deal of lace is to be
added, especially in the form of in
sertion jour, as the French modistes
say-that is, with the material of the
dress cut away under the lace to show
the lining-and little bit of some
striking contrast of color is often thus
introduced. Green foulard, with blue
at the yoke and under the insertion,
is very delightful if the tones be we'll
contrasted. The vice versa arrange
ment is, perhaps, even a little better
in effect; blue foulard, with green,
say navy blue and an emerald, is
most happy combination. The green

USUALLY we Americans associate

I USUALLY we Americans associate
" the name CT Hungary with the
gypsy camps that prove men,
ace to the tranquility of any locality
which attracts them. We class them
as fortune tellers, as horse traders,
as loafers and the lowest class of
nomads. That anything good could
come out of Hungary seems almost
impossible when we compare the
country with the people from it that
we know best, and yet Hungary is
making fine show at the Paris ex-
position.
This exhibit of Hungary is of Pc
culiar interest to the American visit
ors because the national pavilion of
that strange country adjoins our
own on the quay d'Orsay and the
river Seine. 1t is a remarkable build
ing in many ways, for it embodies
many historical reconstructions and
reproductions of Hungarian monu-
ments of rare beauty. These are all
assembled in one building in such a
way as to produce masterpiece of
architectural art, that while it por-
trays the various stages of the devel-
opment of Hungarian architectural
development, yet each varying style
of architecture is made to fit in with
each other style in an artistic ef-
feet.
The idea for this peculiarly de-
signed building came from the Buda-
Pesth exposition of 1896, at which the
visitors were treated to display in
different buildings of the various
styles of Hungarian architecture. To

land to adequately accentuate the
artistic character of the details which
are copied or inspired from originals
of such dissimilar periods.
The exhibition rooms in the pavil-
ion are also reproductions of interiors
of Hungarian monuments. The CELL
ings, the doris, the windows, ETC., bear
the stamp of various epochs, respect
lively, from which the motives and the
details have been adroitly utilized.
They reflect much credit on the art
'istic taste of the two architects.
Among the interiors, attention may
be called to the Hussars' hall, which
will be the reception room of the COM
missioner. The architecture, the paint
ings and the sculptured ornamental
ton glorify the Hungarian hussars
and are explanatory of the influence
that celebrated arm has had on the
development of the cavalry of all Eu-
ropean armies.

of these agencies told me that dur
ing the month of May and early June
last year his concern had rented
more than Is of these furnished fats
and houses for from one to four
months, and in more than half the
cases the people to whom they were
rented were from the country, who
desired to spend the season in the
city.
This was probably an unusually
large business for one agency, but
it is safe to say that there are sew
eral thousand of these furnished fats
and houses rented every year now.
The number of agencies engaged in
the business will run we'll into the
hundreds, and each of them finds it
more or less profitable. + -,
This influx of country visitors for,
the summer season is good thing for
the city in addition to it's affording
many families means of securing
summers outing they would not get
if there were not some one to pay the
rent. Hundreds of flats and houses
are rented each year by people who
would leave the city even though the
rent were not paid for them during
their absence, and if these homes
were locked up for the season it
would mean a heavy loss to the mar
ket men, the grocers, the tradesmen
of every class, to say nothing of the
fact that the gas meters would stop
clicking in the interest of a great
corporation.

BURIAL, OF SPANISH RULERS.
The. Weird Ceremonial Custom That
Is Pfescribed for ~ al OBJ
Aenuiea.

Strange and almost'weird is the cere-
monialz which accompa MES the burial
of Spanish kings. Thespantheon, or
royal tomb, is at the palace of Escuri-
al, situated 5000 feet above the level of
the sea and some distance from the
capital. Only kings, queens and
mothers of kings are buried there, the
collins of the kings lying on one side,
those of the queens on the other. After
lying in state for several days in the
throneroom in Madrid, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, an enormous pro-
cession is formed accompanying the
body to the Escurial. A halt is made
on the way and the: corpse rests there
for one night. In the morning the.
lord high chamberlain stands at the
side ofthe coffin and says in loud tones:
us your majesty pleased to proceed
on your journey?"
+. After a short silence the procession
moves on and winds up to the grand
portal of the palace. These doors are
never opened except to admit a royal
parsonage, dead or alive. When the

calls with loud voice: "Senor! Senior!
Senor!" After a solemn pause he cries
again: "His majesty does not reply.
Then it is true the king is dead!" He.
then locks the coffin, gives the key to
the prior (the palace of the Escurial
contains also large monastery and
the church), and, taking his staff of Of.

at the casket. The booming of the
guns and the tolling of the bells an.

Minnesota Crop and Weather Bulletin.
There were local rains on several
days and in nearly all parts of the
state. but they were heavy enough to
be beneficial only in the southwest,
and IN southeastern counties along the
Iowa boundary; in other parts of the
state the drouth remains practically
unbroken. Early spring wheat and
oats are resisting the dry conditions
remarkably we'll on heavy soils, though
stooling is stopped, but on sandy soils
they are turning yellow; the late sown
grains are uneven and generally poor.
Winter wheat has begun to head.
Opinions as to the effect of the drouth
on wheat differ widely; some believe
that good rains at an early date will
bring good crop, while few think
that the damage already is so great
that under no conditions will many
fields recover sufficiently to be worth
cutting. The rye crop is very poor.
