The taxpayers, the fathers, the
mothers, sisters and all regardless
of politics, or religion ATE enterest-
ed in having a good school and Sc
curing the very best teachers pos
si5le. We want to see each and
all of the applicants for the public
school do well and prosper, There
is not a one OF them but what we
deeply respect and keenly admire.
We have in our midst college; a
college faculty of superb teachers,
completely equipped by reason of
their superior advantages, higher
reGucatedi better mental training
axd lon ger experience. To make
the college blassom as the rose and
give it the encouragement it mer-
it's, the trustees should see the
splendid Pres. of the Faculty, Prof.
Ewers and get the college to take
the public school for the five month
ard permit him and faculty to have
the common school fund. That
growing town Of Williamsburg did
it and it has proved a very wise
thing attended with the very best
results. London is now favorably
discussing the same movement,
Hyden did the same thing. So did
Barbourvil!e and why not Mt.
Vernon? The citizens Of our town
who desire TO give the children an
education and who are too poor to
"seud them off, should take up this
suggestion. But some one will say
the college can support itself!
That is the very point; it can't do it.
The college lost money last fall
during the common school The
faculty can't remain here at 6uan-
else loss. Some one will urge that
we should give the common school
to home talent. We do not agree
with such. If we can get better
training at the college and every
child i'll the district from to 20 go
free Tor the first five month would it
not be foolish indeed to refuse it?
Some Of our citizens who so thor
oughly realize the benefits OF all ed
ucation send their children to the
college even during the fall months
although their tuition is paid to the
common school teacher to whom
they never go. This agreement. if
it could be made would be better
because the father who sends his
child TO, the college in the fall would
under this arrangement pay moth
ing for the first FIVE months while
the citizens who have been sending
their children to public school
would have much better training
for them by sending them to the
college free for the public school
period. 1t is 10 the interest of this
town; to the interest of each and
every church, each and every par
ent; to the interest Of each child;
to the interest of our county to
strengthen, uphold and upbuild
that college. 1t builds up our town
1t helps our merchants, our labor
ers, our doctors. 1t presents a
great change tor an education to
the poor girls and boys of our
county and thereby helps the entire
county and if we but do our part as
good citizens and support it as we
should its influence will be felt in
our surrounding counties. We
have the opportunity now will we
take advantage of it or will we let
1t pass unnoticed. Let us hear
from Gus citizens.

When You Hang Your Pictures.


BY hanging pictures low you in
crease the apparent height of the
room.
Colored pictures should not be hung
in Railways or on staircases unless
there is plenty of light for them. In
such places strong photographs, en-
cravings. and drawings in black and
white go best.
A picture should not be hung from
one nail; the diamond lines formed by
the cord have very discordant effect.
Two nails and two vertical cords, or,
what is far more safe, pieces of wire
cordage, should be used instead of the
single cord.
Picture cords should be as near the
color of the wall upon which they are
put as possible, so that they may be
but little seen. When one picture is
hung beneath another the bottom one
should be hung from the one above,
and not from the top; thus we avoid
multiplying the cords, which is al
ways Objectionable.
A good hue for walls where prints
or photographs are to be hung is q
rich yellow brown or a leather color.
Luster to the black of the print of the
tone OF the photograph is thus i'm
parted. The wall paper should have
no strongly defined pattern.
The centre Of the picture, as a rule,
should not be much above the level
of the eve.

Valenciennes lace will be very pop
ular for trimming the thin summer
gowns.
Fine designs in Cluny lace appear
on new summer toilets, waists and
linen lawn and cambric lingerie.
Hand work of all kinds is applied
to bodices. Feather stitching is a
feature of many sof the handsomest
bodices.
Silk-warp gypsy cloth and silk-warp
eolienne are new and fashionable
dress fabrics that appear in all the
beautiful pastel colorings of the sea-
son.
The very high choker is no longer
deemed elegant. Collars of all kinds
are lower. In fact, many of the latest
afternoon toilets are cut out in the
neck.
Among the most stylish parasols
for the beginning of the season will be
those of satin trimmed with velvet
polka dots. The handles are of natural
wood aud are very short and thick.
The new embroidered batiste is a
charming material for summer gowns,
as it comes in variety of pretty
tints, embroidered both in white and
colors, and in white embroidered with
different colors.
Talieta and crepe de chimes are
trimmed with cloth applied in stitched
bands. They give weight to the
skirt, which is desirable, and when
they are used it is unnecessary to
weight the skirt with lead.
The length of the stitchings on
killed or side-plaited skirts varies
from few inches below the hips to
within quarter of yard of the bot
tom of the skirt; and on some of the
imported cloth costumes the kits or
side-plaits, reaching the entire length
Of the skirt, are stitched from belt to
hem.
The great diversity in the ways and
means of manipulating lace, insertion,
edgings and appliques is certainly an
expressive tribute to the versatile and
artistic dress designers this season.
Everything which has ever been used
for this purpose seems to have been
revived and added to the novelties for
the summer season, which are already
being shown.

shops are offered japanese striped
silks, said to be easy to wash aud diff
ficult to crush; crepe de chine of me.

As to Drapsry.

The threatened bonne femme skirt
was bad enough, but now there seems
to be n movement towards crosswise
fullness.
Yes, one or two of the imported
evening dresses show this very effect
which we were wont to call draping.
Now, draping sounds well, and in
deed, it is very lovely and graceful,
especially for curtains and canopies.
But for our ownselves-well, if it's
just the same to the designer, we'd
rather not.
1t is man, dear man! who usually
gives himself the trouble of thinking
out these elaborate nuisances for
poor, incapable femininity. And
right here we'd like to know what he
has against us. II he really thinks
draped clothing so altogether admir-
able, why doesn't he put in a bit of
his valuable time coniuring up puffed
waistcoats, plated coats and draped
breetches with dust-catching rufiies
for his own sex? 1t really isn't fair
to load upon us all the wondrous
children of his gigantic brain.
Really, we are not selfish; we'd
delight to share our loyeliness with
him
Especially the draped part of it.
Drapery, you know, while possess.
ing string of virtues, gets even by
also possessing even more vices. Out
side of the fact that it's always be-
coming disarranged, there's the gentle
little way it has of sagging down un-
Til the fair wearer catches her foot in it.
Being thrown down by graceful
drapering is no more consoling tnan
a less OF picturesque tumble. If you
break your nose, it's broken, and
that's all.-Philadelphia Record.

Here is an idea that may appeal to
an entertainer. 1t is an evident fact
that the time -honored fruit.dish, with
its assortment of fruit, no longer has
any place on a modern table, each
kind of fruit is put by itself on q
separate silver dish artistically ar
ranged. Any one who has little
taste can initiate the arrangement.
Take four plates of equal size; put on
them some green leaves--bay- leaves,
geraniums, or whatever one happens
to have at hand-and arrange the
fruits to suit the different kinds.
Make a pyramid of bright red apples,
with four apples for a base, three on
top, and one on top OF all, with the
leaves in between. Arrange oranges
in the same way, but on the third
plate lay bunches of grapes carelessly
on leaves, and on the fourth put ba-
nanas. Lol with the four plates at
the four corners your table is dressed
at once. Nuts may be used instead
of fruit on one plate, aud figs and
dates on the other, but beware of the
old-fashioned fruit basket or dish If
you wish your table to be up to date.

Tricks of the Egg Trnde.

There is man who sells eggs in
Havana, Cuba, carrying them around
in basket. He has shrewd eye for
the main chance, as is shown in the
way he discriminates between fresh
eggs and old cnes. He has two or
three paper bags filed with eggs,
which he tells his customers are the
fresh ones, and, consequently, more
expensive. Taking his word as the
truth, the customer pays the advance
price, empties the eggs into pan, and
returns the bag TO the egg man, who
immediately refills the bag from the
loose eggs and goes on his way to re-
peat the deception at the next house.

who has been brought into public no

movement against gambling and other

but natural that Sullivan should not
be in sympathy with such campaign.
He was born and has thrived in the
atmosphere of which District Attorney
Gardiner is trying to rid New York
and he sees no harm in 1t.
Sullivan began life as bootblack.
Now he is leader In the state senate.
He was born in New York thirty-seven
years ago and his boyhood was spent
around the Five Points, where he
blacked shoes and sold papers and was
leader of the gamins. AS soon as he
could vote the politicians took him up
and at twenty-three he was able to de-
mand nomination for the assembly
He has been in Office ever since, never

influence by befriending such OF his
constituents as ran hloui oi tue law

The Jaunty Scarf.
One can't admire the new neckwear
enoughl

One can't admire the new neckwear
enoughl
1t is simply beautiful.
And this holds good throughout the
list, from the tiniest stock, with its
butterfly bow, to the dressy affair
which very nearly hides the whole
waist from view.
The scarf is particularly graceful as
finish, whether it is made OF flimiest
chiffon or of liberty panne. The latter
is mostly trimmed across the ends
with fringe, while the chiffon is either
simply hemmed or edged with plait-
ing. At times, though, it is ac-
cordioned its whole length.
These graceful scarfs go twice
around the neck and are drawn into a
knot or through slide at the bust
line. The ends hang few inches be-
low the waist line.
Sometimes the scarf is gathered in
to knot with short loops. The knot
then looks like rosette.
At any rate, these scarfs are very
picturesque.
