A FR ESH NOTE.

The people of this country will read
with pleasure that "a fresh note has
been presented to the Ottoman govern
ment by the representative of the Unit
ed States in Constantinople They will
also be interested by the fact that while
this fresh note insists upon an imme-
diate reply to the demands of the Unit
ed States and is vigorously phrased"
it is not an ultimatun. In short, it is
not in any way too fresh, as diplomacy
goes. This fresh note is said to have
been disagreeable surprise to the
Porte, as dunning notes are apt to he
to slow-pay debtors.
We ale so busy just now in the Phil
ippines and in China that perhaps the
Sultan will be encouraged to think that
he isn't obliged to pay much attention
to this fresh note. And perhaps Eu-
rope will have little laugh at our ex-
pense. But when we get ready to send
another fresh note containing an ulti-
matum the Sultan will do we'll not to be
too fresh in his dealings with us.

QUEER WORK IN OREGON.

| The Constitution of Oregon contains
the following provision: No free negro
or mulatto not residing in this State at
the time of the adoption of this consti-
tuition shall come, reside, or be within
this State, or hold any real estate, or
make any contracts, or maintain any suit
therein; and the legislative assembly
shall provide by penal laws for the re-
moval, by public officers, Of all such ne
groes and mulattoes and for their eff
fectual exclusion from this State, and
for the punishment of persons who shall
bring them into the State or employ or
harbor them therein
Among the constitutional amend
ments submitted to the voters of Ore
gon at the recent election was one re-
pealing this provision, and it was re-
jected, There may have been some rea-
son for it's rejection which does not
appear, but on the face of the returns it
looks as If the white people of Oregon
don't love the negro any more than the
white people in the southern States do.

There is always a saving grace in the
people that stands, a white-winged an
gel, between the vandal and the shrine
bearing in one hand a torch to light, in
the other sword to smite; and, even
as Jefferson was not the archfiend the
Federalists pictured him, nor Jackson
the reincarnation of Satan of Wing
fancy, will it be found that Bryan" of
the raw-head-and-b bloody bones, is
merely a citizen having a lively sense of
the public danger and it may be a fer
vld imagination yet an undoubting
American and an honest man, who
loves his country, and would rescue it
from the horde of political bandits and
the grasping aggregations of organized
capital that claim to possess it as of
natural right.

WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH PEAT.

Few people look upon peat as any
thing but something to burn, but Herr
Zschoerner of Vienna has been inves-
tigating the properties of peat and has
found that its possibilities are numer-
Gus. At a recent exhibition in Vienna
there was a building in which every
thing from the carpets on the floor 20
the curtains at t1e windows had been
made of peat According to Herr
Zschoerner, the fbres of the reeds and
grasses of which the peat is composed
have not suffered any anatomical
change, though, of course, they are al
tered in their physical ana chemical
character, as nothing capable Of fer
mentation or decay is left The fibrous
structure, however, remains intact, and
the fibres themselves are very durable,
elastic, good non-conductors Of heat,
and -combustible. The fabrics that
are woven from them have the warmth
of wool, while at the same time they
are as tough as linen. In fact, it is
claimed that every kind Of textile fab
ric can be woven from these fibres and
the unspun fibre has been found to be
good substitute for absorbent cotton as
it possesses strong antiseptic properties.

Soaring is an important feature of

varied. The hat of the accompanying
picture, which was of biscuit and white
fibre with pleated brim and white plume
trimmings, was scarfed with white
chiffon, Bits of old muslin and of lin
en-, old kerchiefs and squares of mod
ern lawn and null are also used, and
last seasons fashion for white wash
hat scarf is continued. But these are
the inconspicuous sorts. Rich or snowy
scarfs are many. OF these are bits of
Indian and Turkish needlework, squares
that are sold frankly for covering small
pillows or for use on hats. Bandanna

on over the two-thirds of the estate that
is situated on the west side of the
French Broad. On the other side of the
river the regular High Forest system is
to be adopted. There the land has been
divided into ninety-two sections, and
there, in theoretically perfect forest,
the trees will be cut in one section after
another in rotation until the whole nine
ty-two sections have been cut, when
work will begin on section one, and be
followed year after year until the whole
ninety-two sections have again been
gone over with when the rotation work
will begin again. Mr.. Vanderbilt, young
man though he still is can hardly ex-
pect to see this plan carried out and the
theory of a perfect forest growth
proved. That will be left to his heirs

| handkerchiefs and all the variations
| that fell so suddenly into disrepute be-
cause Of too great popularity are re-
| stored to favor when applied to hat
scarfing. They are either wound close,
with ends tucked under, or they are
folded corner to corner. In the latter
case the ends hang loose over the brim
after crossing and either knotting or
passing through a buckle or being Sc
cured by jeweled stick-pin. Any way
will do if only the scarf appears to be
an unprecedented matter.
The end changing scarf especially suits
the helmet straw. This hat is threat
ened with undue popularity, 1t is not
safe except for country backwoods wear
to select a cheap helmet. The wide
brim hats with helmet tops are a little
more exclusive than the little affairs
with down curved brim that have so
caught popular favor. One may risk q
cheap shape IL she has something orig
inal in the way of scarfing by which to
individuaize It, Substituting binding
to match the pladed or Persian soaring
is one Of the easiest ways to save a he'll
met hat from the cheap look so fatal to
it. FLORETTE.

An interesting engineering problem is
being discussed in Pittsburg. Pennsyl-
vania, where it is proposed to move the
Carnegie library, structure Weighing
about $4,000 tons, distance of 1000
feet The library is a steel and stone
building, 1872 feet in length by las feet
In width, and three stories in height
The Director of Public Works Of the
city of Pittsburg believes that it could
be raised on jacks and placed on car
trucks which would run on rails. In the
trip to the new site a ravine 100 feet in
depth and 200 feet in width must be
crossed, and this would either have to
be filed or a timber falsework erected
Improvements being made about the
present location at the entrance of
Schenley Park, will take away from
the appearance of the building, so it's
removal to new location is being con-
sidered.
