MONZA. July 31.-Thc body Of King
Humbert Of Italy lies in the great bed

Soldiers are on guard at the portals,
the windows are shuttercd. and from the

half mast.
Outside the palace great crowds are
gathered. They talk in whispers or
stand silently watching the royal palace
and the distinguished visitors who have
been arriving here.

Is the assassin, Angelo Bressi. He is
proud of his work. His was the third
attempt made on the life Of the king,
aud he feels thrill of horrible satisfac-
tion at his success.
Few additional details of the terrible
tragedy are available. Ii happened so
quickly and unexpectedly that the king
was dead almost before the spectators
realized what had occurred.
No special precautions had been taken.
Very few police were in attendance, and
only a small guard of soldiers was keep
ing the way for the carriage. The king,
amid the cheers of the crowd. came out
smiling. accompanied by his premier aid
de-camp. General ponzio-NaClia. He had
entered the carriage and was just driv-
ing off when the revolver shots were fired
in quick succession. Some witnesses as
sert that Bressi was seen just previously
waving his hands and cheering. The
first shot wounded the king in the neck:
the second. the fatal one, pierced his
heart, and the third broke the arm of
the already dying sovereign.
The crowd was stunned by the unex-
pected scene, but speedily a rush was
made toward the assassin. He did not
attempt NJ escape and was roughly treat
ed until the carabineers formed a Gordon
and secured him from the fury of the
people.

Living Expenses Decreased.

The interesting disclosure is made
that the cost OF living is less in the
United States to-day than it was in 1860.
Carefully compiled statistics show that
articles costing $Ioo then cost only SIS
now. 1t is true that few things are
more expensive, but commodities con-
sumed generally by families, such as
breadstuffs, sugar, rice, salt, wooden and
and rubber goods, are considerably
cheaper now than they were 80 years
ago. All manufactured goods, with
hardly an exception, are cheaper, mainly
because of improved processes of manu-
facture which enables the maker to re-
duce the cost to the lowest point.
The development of our vast arabic
territory in the West, Northwest and
Southwest, and the striking results of
irrigation, when applied to what were
formerly considered desert lands, have
increased our crop supplies more rapidly
than the increase OF population. Des-
pite the dire predictions that prices OF
wheat, corn and cotton must inevita-
bly, advance because little land remain
ed to be cultivated in the West and
South, the fact is that millions OF acres
are still awaiting tillage. In Texas
alone an area almost as extensive as
that Of the original I3 States is virgin
soil. The emigrant may have to go
farther and work harder to establish
a homestead in the United States, but
Uncle Sam is still rich enough to give
every able-bodied, industrious new-com-
er chance to own farm.-Leslie's

Among the new capes appears
"Taignon." Golf capes are seen in
finer grades and longer lengths.
Skirts continue to show the ripple

A popular trimming is made by lay
ing silk, with an irregular outline,
upon cloth, and embroidering it to the
goods in self shades.
Boleros in all materials will be the

Real laces are being used to re-

One of the most stylish gloves for

Robert Mackaye tells, in the October
Success, Of many chances for young
Americans to win wealth in the South
Sea islands. He says that if ,he young
man can escape the allurements OF idle
ness he can find in Tahiti and her hun
dred sister islands the foundation for
stupendous fortune. The soil of all
the islands is Of the most productive
quality and is especially adapted to the
cultivation OF coffee and vanilla, neither
of which has been grown to its fullest
extent in this group. The peculiar soil
gives the coffee flavor unknown in
America, and the enterprsing American
who takes Tahiti coffee to foreign
market will reap bounteous reward.
There is coffee bean of inferior
Nality that grows wild, and the listless
native would rather use the poor wild
berry than work to cultivate a superior
kind. Or, give him cheap American
bean already roasted, and he is infinite
ly more happy. Anything that saves
the native Tahitian labor, that will he
bless. Vanilla fourshes in the South
Sea islands soil and climate, and spices

The Gray-Hafred Woman.

One of the most picturesque types
of the gray-haired individual is she
who is prematurely gray and has blue
eyes and a fine complexion. Pale rose
pink and black, blue and white are
her best colors, though she can wear
purple and also green, If she handles
them judiciously. Can you imagine a
prettler picture than such one would
be in an evening dress of blue, cov-
cred with silver gauZe and trimmed
with pale pink roses, with some in the
hair?
Elderly people, as rule, should
wear plenty Of lace. In fact, it is said
by those who make dress a study to
be essential to the gowning of a wom-
an over forty. Then, too, as woman
grows old the dress materials should
increase in richness. Handsome bro
cades, soft, elegant silks, woolen tex
lures and velvets are most appropriate
and becoming.

Profitable Fishing In Scotch Waters.

"The salmon is accounted the king
of freshwater fish," says Izaak Walton;
and somebody else has called it "the
venison of the waters" Scotland's
deer forests have their counterpart in
Scotland's streams; and, in an age Of
utility even in sport, the fsherman's
zest is increased, not lessened, by the
value of his haul This is the case even
where the element of personal gain is
wiped out; where the guest is fishing
in the interest OF his host; or where the
visitor, paying highly for board and
lodging, relinquishes his harvest of the
flood to the lessee. Great rentals fol-

Proper Selection OF Gowns,

Wnen buying gown q woman
should have in mind the use for which
1t is intended. If a handsome street
costume Is planned, one which may be
worn to matinee, an afternoon recep-
tion, to any informal social affair be-
fore dinner, by all means go to the
best tailor or the best dressmaker you
can afford. True economy dictates
purchasing a single elegant dress,
rather than frittering the cost of that
on two or three costumes, not one of
which will give satisfaction. A silk
lined gown Is not, indeed, indispensa-
Bile, since silk Innings are perishable,
and there are on the market several
excellent substitutes which have COM
mended themselves by their wearing
qualities. But the lining of q gown is
as important as its outside. Whatever
is chosen must be soft plant, and sure
to hang well, not to sag after a few
weeks of use, nor to crack, nor shrink.
The way gown hangs is so often
overlooked that one constantly meets
richly clothed women whose skirts are
WV 7tiOi' IL iioiiS, VI loo lOut5 over Ille
hips, or shorter on one side than on the
other, or scant in the back, utterly
marring the effect of the dress. The
best dressmakers have in their employ
experts whose sole department is the
making and fitting of skirts, in whose
hands the dumpy woman acquires
grace and the bean-pole woman puts
on plumpness.
The gown, when bought, must be
regarded IS relative to the remainder
Of the outfit to be worn with it. A
bonnet or hat to match-or at least to
chord with it in tone, and of a style
appropriate to that toilet - shoes,
gloves, ties and wrap should be in
cluded in the outlay. The soldier on
dress parade is complete, an entity,
from the crown of his head to the
points Of his shining toes, every item
in good order and immaculate. The
well-dressed woman may copy him
in this attention to detail; let her have
one outfit which is harmonious from
beginning to end. Shabby gloves and
shoes, sorry-looking hat, soiled
and crumpled tie, half-worn belt,
will ruin the effect of the most beauti-
full gown. 1t is better to save on the
gown itself. to be contented with

The Schoolgirls Allowance.

Shoes and gloves are important items
to every schoolgirl, not to mention rib
bons. Thy may be made to cost
good deal Of money, but If care Is
taken in choosing them there is no rea-
son why they should be so expensive.
1t Is nevc. too soon for a girl to know
how to manage her own spending
money. One of the best things Is to
have her begin with an allowance for
these same articles In wearing rib
bons around the throat and waist, as
is now the fashion, of course good
deal of material can be done away
with, especially If a girl is at all care
less, but If she has to buy her own rib
bons she will soon learn to be little
more careful and to buy judiciously.
Five dollars q month is liberal allow
ance for gloves and ribbons, and even
shoes can, with economy, be bought
out of this, although shoes are now ex-
pensive. It is not necessary to buy
shoes every month, so some months
there will be left SIS for gloves and
ribbons alone. Half that sum has
been found possible for a girl to get
along with and look very well, and at
the same tine she is learning habits
of economy.
The gloves for school wear should
be of the heavy gray Suede or cha
mois. or castor kid. The latter Is
stronger than the former, and there
are woolen gloves that look quite
smart enough, unless a girl lives in a
city where she Is required to dress
more elaborately. Wearing white kid
gloves with dark suits is an absurd
fashion for any girl, and ought not to
be attempted by one who has to be at
all nomical.-Harpers Bazaar.
