Instances In Nature Where Cool Gives
Way to Seeming Evil.
A natter that has attracted the at
tention OF all outdoor students for
ages, and which still remains unset
tied, is the fact that. although the
farmer wages constant warfare on
weeds in order that his crops may
grow, the food-bearing plants often
fail to seed fruition. but the weeds
never. The more noxious the
plant the more certain it is
to flourish, says a New England
writer. What is true OF the plant
world is true Of bird and mammal life.
The English sparrows, which nearly
every aone hates. increase at the rate
OF millions yearly, in spite OF rigid
winters and bounty laws, while the
birds which add the beauty of color
and song to outdoor life are tending to-
ward extinction. The frost that i'm
prisons the grouse, by forming crust
over the snowbank where he has
sought shelter, at the same time pro-
tects the field mouse pest from his
natural enemies. The same crust bears
up the wolf. while it practically i'm
prisons the deer. Insect parasites kill
the game birds, while the owl seems
to enjoy their companionship and
cares not how thlckly they swarm
within the cover of his plumage. The
crows fly over morning and evening
from roosting to feeding place and re-
turn in flocks as great as those Of
century ago. The ducks and geese re-
turn from the south spring after spring
with constantly thinning ranks. AS
the eastern writer puts it. the chances
are that hundred years hence, in the
dearth of game, the leading sportsmen
will be wrangling over the merits OF
their skunk dogs and Dragging OF
their bags of crows and sparrows.

of chiffon hangs from the edge of the
frame to futter gracefully about the
dainty head that 1t will shadow. There
are parasols for every occasion-the
drive. the morning walk, the afternoon
promenade and the links. The auto
mobile parasols this season are Of
plain silk, In different shades, red or
purple being the most fashionable.
They are equipped with a wooden
handle of medium length. not very
thick. and are Of medium size, finished
with ruching of white liberty silk.
The coaching parasol is made of plain
or shaded silk. and appears as hereto
fore, with thick. short handle, which
may be either in light or ebonized
wood.
Very beautiful are the new parasol
handles from Paris. The wood is in
pastel tints and the handles are deco
rated in cut steel. Sometimes the han
die is covered with black velvet, upon
which the ornamentation in cut steel
appears in effective contrast. Another
fashionable parasol handle is a ball
entirely studded with rhinestones.

Styles In stockings.

Seldom have fashionable feet been
so ornately clad as this season. The
new hosiery is marvellous in its glory,
and a small fortune could readily be
expended Just in this one department
of the shops. The most expensive
stockings, OF course. are those Of silk
of the cobwebbiest texture. fine
enough almost to be passed through a
ring. Some of these are exquisitely
embroidered. There are black silk
stockings daintily powdered with tiny
flowers, like the forget-me-not, worked
in delicate hues. Other black stock
ings have a diamond pattern, bright
in color. woven up the front. Upon
this lighter background OF pale pink,
blue, green, violet or purple Is embroid-
cred a delicate tracery Of vines. A
pair Of bright, yellow silk stockings
has diamond pattern in black. pro-
ducing an essentially stylish effect, in
stockings of pale tint, the diamond
design Is always Of the black, and
vice versa. Some of the new black
silk stockings are cut out in the front,
to display long. narrow appliques OF
lace. Others have the holes worked
around with buttonhole stitch, and
underneath are set pieces of gayly col
ored taffeta. The old style stocking
known as opera" top, that is, tinted
in some delicate color. the lower half
dyed black, reappears in a modified
form. Instead Of an abrupt line be-
tween the say, lavender top and black
lower portion. the colors are blended
by a graceful line Of black embroid-
cry.
In openwork stockings the effects
are indescribably delicate. In some
the ornamental stripes extend the en- !
tire length of the stocking: in others
the openwork is carried only part way.
Some Of these openwork stockings
look like fairy lace work.

journey had begun which should have
been one all-too-swiftly- passing stream
OF happiness, and held nothing but the
long-drawn-out agony of tortured
hours-hours spent together in closest
companionship, yet in which they were
kept apart by the widest CULTS.
Don thought there could well be
nothing bitterer than that stage OF the
journey which was over. The forced
inaction on board the trains, the fierce
satisfaction of arranging every little
detail for his wife's comfort, always
with the knowledge that that right to
do so would all too soon cease to be
his; the constant strain to keep up APP
pearances before servants and officials,
the utter inability to break down the
barrier OF pain when they were alone.
Sometimes he told himself it had
been better to speak that last goodby
at Bombay and prolong the agony no.
longer; but as drowning man clings
to the rope of succor. he had not the
courage to be the one to cut the cord
which bound them. She had consented
he should take her home, and he would
go through with II to the bitter end.
His thoughts never went beyond that
end. After their farewell had been
spoken. what mattered it wlther he
went?
And now they were on board the big
steamer at last. and the May day was
dying In golden haze over land and
sea. The pilot had long since gone
ashore in the tug steamer, and the
great Indian land of glory and death
was sinking fast astern into the world
of waters.
Lille stood on the poop and looked
her last upon 1t with bursting heart.
She had come hither gay and happy
girl, she was going hence broken
hearted woman, wife in name alone.
Don was below, comforting with the
steward anent their luggage and cab
ms. She was free to let fall those salt
tears she hid from him with proud,
Spartanlike fortitude. II she suffered,
she suffered in silence. and perhaps
Don never guessed how deep that suf-
fering was. He came up by and by,
and found her still standing by the
taffrail alone. She had checked her
tears and recovered her habitual calm:
but though she had drawn her veil
down, through its thin texture Don saw
how pale and worn her lovely face
looked.
You are tired" he said, compassion
ately. Shall you go below at once?"
Il would rather stay here a while.

A new method Of preserving food has
been devised by German, Herr F. w.
Graeff. 1t is effected by exhausting
the air from the receptacle containing
the food. then impregnating 1t with an
inert gas-such as hydrogen, nitrogen
or carbonic acid-at any desired pres
sure, and finally sealing up hermetical-
ly. Liquids may be treated as well as
solids. but they need restoring to their
original condition by heating or boil
Ing before consumption.
Custard Eggs-Put six eggs In boil

them stand, closely covered, for five
minutes. Allow one cup of boiling
water for each egg.

A Smart American Girl

An American girl, Miss Burdlett by
name, hopes to make good thing out
of the coming Paris exposition. She
has bought the Pompeiian house, built
about forty years ago by Prince Je-
rome Napoleon. The house is on the
Cours la Refine. and Miss Burdlett pro-
poses to transform 1t into tea and re-
freshment rooms for weary sightseers.
Meals will be served in the atrium,
where musicians will play. just as when
"Plon Plon" gave Italian fetes there.
The Mattresses will wear Pompeiian
costumes, and. aside from the refresh
ment feature, the place will be well
worth seeing simply as a curiosity.
Miss Burdlett expects to make enough
money during the exposition to pay
for the house.

A Pittsburg girl, who was a genius
for giving charming luncheons and
originating novel features for them,
introduced a fiower-arranging contest
the other day. which all her friends are
copying. When each guest took her
seat for this particular luncheon she
found at her cover pretty vase of b.
hemian glass. Beside the vase she
found two or three rosebuds and few
sprays Of green. The hostess explained
that each girl would be expected to
show her artistic skill by arranging
the flowers in the vase; that a prize
would be given for the most exquisite
grouping. Five minutes were allowed
for the work, and at the end of that
time some very dainty vases were
ready to be judged. The prize was one
of those smart little flower hampers
which the florists are fitting out this
winter. 1t was filed with violets and
tied with violet ribbon.--Kansas City

GEN. WARREN MADE GOVERNOR.
Roberts Appoints Him Ruler Of Gri
uualand West at Milnsrs Reouest

Roberts Appoints Hin Ruler OF Gri-
auaisnd West at Miners Request
The following dispatch has been re-
ceived at the war Office from Lord
Roberts:
Bloemfontein, April 26. At the re-
quest OF the high commissioner, War
rem has been appointed military gov
ernor of Griqualand West, while that
part OF the country is in a disturbed
condition" This curious dispatch con-
stitutes all the war news received up
to this hour. The country Is eagerly
awaiting to hear whether Gen. French
succeeded in cutting off the retreating
Beers; but of his progress there Is no
word. The military critics of the aft
ernoon newspapers differ as to the
chances of another Paardeberg, but
they agree in considering the situation
in the Free State as being eminently
satisfactory. They argue that even IL
Gen French is unable to intercept the
main Boer forces he may score con-
siderable success in a series OF rear
guard actions or the isolation OF stray
Cling bodies. Lord Roberts peculiar
reference to Sir Alfred Miner over
Warren's appointment lends itself to
the inference that the commander-in-
chief of the British forces in South Az
RIGA scarcely approves of it and that
the previous report that Warren had
been recalled was correct, but that he
was saved from coming home by the
action of the British high commits
sioner. According to a special from
Lourenzo Marques, the latest authentic
estimates of the Boer forces place them
at $4,000, of which 1900 are at Kroon-
stadt; 5000 at Fourteen Streams, 5000
in Natal, 700 about Mafeking, and 1000
at Pretoria, while $50 have been or
dered north to intercept Gen. Caring
tons force. The work of intrenching
Pretoria is proceeding.
The Beers retiring from Wepener
and other points In the southern part
of the Free State have escaped the net
SO carefully arranged by Lord Roberts.
They are believed safely on their way
to the fortified position In the north,
and the British demonstration is fruit
less. A strong column arrived at Tha,
banchu, but found the place deserted.
1t is claimed that the imperial army
now commands the entire Ladybrand
district and that any struggling bodies
of burgher troops cannot escape, but it
is suspected that the Beers were well
informed of their foes moves and
timed their retirement so as to get
away in safety.

The parasol is an important adjunct
to a summer gown. 1t must be becom-
ing, for 1t is a movable background,
and the clever woman realizes that II
should be of a color and design that
will harmonic with her complexion
and her general style. The new para
sol is a thing of beauty, showing al
most endless variation in the coloring
and kind Of fabric, in design and in
the shape and style of handles. The
exhibits in the shops of these useful
and at the same time highly decora-
tive accessories of feminine dress run
the entire gamut of parasol invention,
from the frivolous and fluffy chiffon
that looks as II fabricated from a feet
ing summer cloud, to the serviceable
but stylish sunshade of plain silk. A
conspicuous novelty this spring is the
square parasol. covered with one Of
the popular Persian pattern handker-
chiefs. These have bizarre effect, but
they are extremely stylish, and may be
carried with almost any costume Silk
parasols scalloped around the edge and
trimmed with white silk braid are an
other novelty, and still others are
made OF bands of silk Joined together
with open hemstitching Satin para
soils, with velvet polka dots. are very
stylish. These have quite short. thick
natural wood handles. The spangled
parasol is another novelty, but 1t is a
little too pronounced and dazzling to
be popular, except with the woman
who has such large assortment Of
sunshades that she can lay 1t aside as
soon as she wearies of the glitter.
The parasols OF transparent mate
rails. like chiffon, and those Of lace.
appeal persuasively to the woman Of
essentially feminine taste. They are
very dainty. elegant and extravagant,
but are well fitted to give the crown
ing touch of distinction to an elabo-
rate summer toilette. There is an end
less number of variations carried out
in the transparent materials. Chiffon
is tucked. shirred and ruched into
shape, and finished with rufiies, and
there are frills and falls of lace. in
sertion and applications of passe-
menterie. One Of these airy. fairy
novelties Is of white satin. covered
from the edge to the tip with knife
plated chiffon, the plaitings growing
narrower as they approach the fer
rule, ruchings of the chiffon appear
ing here and there along the edge Of
them. A plain white satin parasol,
decorated with designs Of applique
lace, is a desirable purchase, and an
other white parasol is Of satin, covered
with point d'esprit. over which che
mile cords are sewed in a network de-
sign, and is finished with two frills
Of point d'esprits edged with several
rows Of white chenille Black Chan
tilly lace and white chiffon combined
together, the chiffon being accordion
plated between bands Of insertion.
The center Of the parasol is sometimes
OF cream lace. and the band below Of
tucked chiffon, edged with plated ruff
fies finished with a narrow cream lace
edge. Black and white is a very fash
ionable combination in parasols. Some
times flowers of black lace are applied
upon the chiffon, and beneath the airy
lace flowers color-pink or green
Is inserted. giving very rich and airy
effect. A full black lace over rufie
