Suitable for a little girl from nine to

me in one of the fashionable dreSSmaklng
atelierS. Pale blue batiste, openWork en-
brodery and white batiSte were used in Its
development The embroidery appeared IN
a very full volant set into the skirt In an
odd, pointed arrangement that made 1t ap-
pear to issue from an overskirt cut In
deep indentationS. The embroidery was
bOrdered with a band of insertion inter
laced with narrow black velvet ribbon. The
white batiste, which was utilized in the
making of the deep pointed piastron ana
the plated collar that turned back well
over the shoulders, was enriched with q
frill of embroidery crossed by an insertion
interlaced with the black ribbon. The
sleeves were very ornamental, straight and
fairly tight to the elbows, where the ba-
tiste flared out into soft puffs, the spaces to
the wrists being covered by closely laid
plaitings of the batiste.
Pulled sleeves.
Puffs upon the sleeves appeared upon the
gown of spotted wolfe intended for after

Desirable Foods for Summer.


Lean meats, eggs, milk and cheese are,
in proper proportions, and when taken with
succulent vegetables and fruits, desirable
foods for summer. But the fats of meats
and fat meat such as pork, large quantities
of cream and butter, as well as olive OIL,
should be avoided. The latter, however, is
preferable. as it does not contribute SO
rapidly to the bodily heat as do the animal
fats. Avoid hot and heavy desserts. Use
fruits in season in abundance.

Important Trihes.

The accessories of a childs toilet are
just as important as those of it's elders.
For instance, a Little girls shoes and no.
siery should be as carefully looked after
as her gown or hat. Nothing detracts so
much from the appearance of a pretty
frock as the accompaniment of faded stock
ings or shabby, down-at-the-heel shoes.
The best usage iuclines to low shoes in
summer, with light slippers for afternoon
and evening wear. For stormy weather, of
course, high shoes, those modelled on the
English walking boot. stout, thick soled
and low heeled are the most sensible.

Simple ChaIIie Dresses.
Challies are being worn by young people
this season and afford unlimited scope for
the taste of the designer. With boleros
of lace they are particularly handsome.
One of white printed with a pale blue
design particularly pleased me on account
OF it's lack of elaborate finish. band OF
guipure lace encircled the skirt, narrow
strip of the same coming down the front
OF the bloused waist The sleeves, full at
the elbow, We're ntted below and laid in
narrow tucks placed wide apart.
The abbreviated skirt achieved by the
use of sash gathered about the frock
we'll down on the body is the smartest
for youngsters of from two to five years.
Sashes are omnipresent.
The marked use Of diaphanous materials
this season has contributed not a little to
the success of childrers garments, for Il

ance in the daintily bouffant frocks of or
candle, net, lawn, iimity, etc. Laces and
insertions in white and cream and hand
worked embroideries serve to enrich the
summer wardrobes of the children of pros
porous families. IN spite of the use of
elaborate insertions and similar trimmings,
the effect of simplicity is maintained by
the design.

How to Keep the House Cool,

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
Many things can be done to make even
the small house a comfortable restful
place In hot weather. OF course the win
doWs must be properly shaded with blinds
or awnings, and also well screened All the
heavy hangings should be removed and
when possible the carpets should be taken
up or covered with linen. Cool colors, such
as white, gray, light green's and blues
should take the place of the warmer colors
Thin white muslin curtains soften the light
The house should be well aired and summed
at least once day. The early morning is
best for this. Open all the windows and
blinds and let the sun and air pour through
the house. About o'clock close the blinds
and all the windows except one or two
down stairs and two or three upstairs In
the open windows place wet grass screens
or cover the regular screens with wet fan
mel. When the sun goes down open all the
windows and blinds. A skylight or window
should be kept open night and day in the
attic, except, of course, when it rains. The
cellar windows should be open only at
night. If they are not closed during the
heat of the day the warm moisture laden
air enters the cellar and condenses on
walls, pipes, metals, etc, and in few days
will make 1t so damp as to be an unsuitable
place for keeping food.

How Fish Flour Is Made.

One Of the newest things in the way
Of foods is fish powder, which, it is
claimed, is a highly nutritious article,
easy Of digestion and therefore par
ticularly suitable for invallds. 1t is
intended however, for ordinary house
hold use.
The process Of preparing the powder
consists in steaming fresh fish in their
own moisture, then cooling and drying

to certain vapors for the destruction
Of any bacteria it may contain, shred

A PROPHECY.
washington to BE the Most Splendid City
of tho Earth.

yashlnaton to BE the Most Splendid oity
of tho Earth.
BY authority Of a Senate resolution
passed In the brief special session last
spring the Committee on the District
of Columbia has been preparing a
plan for the development Of the pres
ent park system Of the capital. Under
authority, the committee sent abroad
ON tour Of inspection its three ar
chitects, d. S. Burnham, f. L. Ohm
stead, Jr., and Charles f. McKim
They studied the great capitals OF
Europe for hints Of park development
and architectural groupings. Their re-
port is not yet forthcoming, but Mr.
Burnham has told the Chicago
Chronicle that practically no departure
need be, nor will be, recommended In
the establishment of the capital from
the singular broad and felicitous out
lines of future seat Of government
drawn over 100 years ago by PEnfant
and approved by Washington. Mr..
Bunham says: 1.-THE commission, af-
ter having viewed every great or beau
tiful capital in Europe, and deeply
studying every problem which each
separate capital presented, returned
home with the settled conviction that
the general plan for the laying out
and utilizing and beautifying of
Washington commonly credited to
PEnfant, but historically as much
George Washington's as l'Enfants
must be adopted in order to get the
best results from the artistic labOrs and
the expenditure of money which are
now proposed. The outlines Of that
plan are as fitting and accommodating
now as they were in 1900 or 1901"
According to Mr.. Burnham new
landscape features will be devised in
carrying to completion the present
system Of streets and avenues, to bring
water into the city to supply a pro-
jected group Of fountains, and to in
dicate proper sites for statues and
additional public buildings. The
Anacostia River is relied upon for
this, and there is already talk of
fountains Surprising Versailles and
eQualling Rome"
The present growth and Importance
of the city, more especially the place
Of the nation among the worlds ma
tions, iustifes the present prepara-
tions to make Of the capital city as
fair a spot as ever shone out upon an
astonished world. The present Capitol
is pronounced by experts the finest
structure Of the kind in the world,
while the Library fascinates all be-
holders. The older public structures,
like the Treasury Building for In
stance, cannot be improved upon, and
when the city is filed out and en-
bellished it will be a marvel. 1t is
a most beautiful city already, but
those in charge say that as yet only
a commencement has been made. Dur
ing the present century it will become
n city Of palaces, statues and foun-
tains, and be a very splendor Of the
earth.-Salt Lake Tribune.

Fight to a Finish.

An exciting battle between a spider
and a caterpillar, which lasted nearly
an hour was witnessed by a crowd Of
men and boys in West Manayunk. The
spider won the contest after losing
two legs, says the Philadelphia North
American.
The fight occurred on a rail fence on
William Shindles farm. Two boys
were attracted by the combat, and
gradually the audience grew until
there We're about fifty spectators.
Many wagers were made on the result,
the spider being the favorite. 1t is be-
lieved that the fight was caused by the
caterpillar getting caught in the spi-
der's web.
Being wedged in the meshes Of its
antagonists parlor the caterpillar was
at great disadvantage and could only
fight from the one spot, while the
spider could slide up and down and
attack the caterpillar from all Sides
The caterpillar fought with its head
and tail. The spider punished with
its deadly stings.
As last resort the caterpillar at
temped to encircle its opponent. The
spider lodged right and left. Then
both closed in. When they separated
two Of the SPIDERS legs were missing.
Then they clinched again, and by
quick move the spider got at the rear
Of the caterpillar and rolled it up like
piece OF carpet.
Then the spider carried its opponent
in triumph to a secluded hole in the
fence. Later a feast was served in the
SPIDERS den.

A HEALTHY VOICE.
Faithful Practice win Do Much to
Acquire it.


A strong, sweet, beautiful voice is
greatly to be desired by every one,
says Health In some climates, like
Italy, for instance, the voices are al
most all fine. In other places where It
Is cold and moist the voices are too
often bad. In the country where the
young grow up in an out-of-door life,
where they can "holler" and evep
yell" the voices are much better and
stronger than in the city, where a
and always speak in gentle tones.
Thin, throaty tones OF those with a
nasal intonation are bad enough to the
sensitive ear when used in the key
of ordinary conversation. When It is
needed to expand such voices to the
declamatory point, then lack Of volume
and mellowness is evident.
Faithful practice may do much to
correct faults Of emphasis and infec-
ton, but the most sanguine coach will
not undertake to make over a poor
voice in a coarse Of three or even six
weeks rehearsals. The possibilities Of
the speaking voice are beginning to be
understood. Parents are discovering
that it is wise plan to cultivate in
their children an agreeable voice. In
structors in the art Of developing the
exquisite mechanism and wonderful ca
pability of the human speaking voice
are springlng up on every side. 1t can
not be long before it will be a positive
reproach for woman Of education, at
least, to speak in shrill, nasal or un-
placed tones. The voice is a mirror Of
the mind. A coarse, harsh, disagree
able voice can best be cured by i'm.

interest in the great subterranean
conhagrataion near New Glasgow,
Nova Scotia, has been renewed by the
discouraging report that all efforts to
circumvent the flames have proved
fruitless and that all hope is now prac-
tically abandoned. The fire originated
in 1880. 1t Is burning in rich seam Of
coal, 30 feet thick, and in a mine that
has a shaft 1000 feet deep. The prob
lem of extinguishing the flames is no
nearer solution than 1t was twenty
one years ago. Water has been let in.
but the fire is above the sea level, and
the expensive work of flooding has had
no effect
After many futile attempts to extin>
guish the fire, the engineers directed
their efforts toward devising plans for
circumventing 1t, and reaching the coal
still intact To that end all the ap-
proaches leading to the fire and all the
neighboring workings were walled up,
and new workings were driven lower
down. But every plan so far devised
has proved failure. The all-conquer-
ing fire has broken through, and every
new work has been reluctantly aban-
doned.
On one occasion, the explosion that
perpetuated this destructive and OBJ
stinate FIRE caused the death OF AZ
miners. They were awaiting the ar.
rival of car with some tools, and
boy had been 0ent out with hurry-up
message, when the explosion occurred
All that could be learned was from the
boys story. He had seen them sitting
on the floor when he left them. There
death overlook them. To reach or aid
them in any way was beyond human
possibility, so their ashes have mingled
with the crumbling coal seam which
has burned for a generation, and will
burn, no doubt, for generations to
come.
There are unsolved problems about
the explosion, and suspicious that pro-
tecting walls were not sufficiently
thick But no new light will ever be
thrown on the tragedy which suddenly
cut off and consumed a sturdy detach-
ment of the armF Of Industry.

he nevertheless keeps the very best Of
everything in stock and charges less
than other dealers because he buys and
