Those who are to come after us are
to make as much progress as we have
made, or as those have made who
went before US, and the lines along
which that progress will move cannot
now be predicted. For this reason,
while it is desirable to build in thor
oughly safe manner, and to guard
against all risks, especially those of
fire, it is highly questionable whether
it is desirable to construct buildings in
such Il solid manner that when a half
century from this time it becomes
necessary ~ either destroy them or
radically alter them, the change will
involve great and unnecessary sac
rifice to the owner, remarks the Bos-
ton Herald.

Per5in Has No Summer Rain,

There Is no rain in Persia during the
summer months, and the land is bar
ren except where there are streams of
water for irrigation. The mountain
streams are conducted in an under
ground channels, formed by digging
pits, about thirty feet apart and tun-
neling from one to the other. This
prevents the evaporation of the water
by the sun, and at the same time
usually finds a clay bottom so that
there is not so much lost by absorption
and leakage. Little channels branch
off from time to time, and bring some
Of the water to the surface, where it is
carried about in little bitches, to water
the CROPS.

Curiously enough, nearly all of our

although lately there has been one
factory located at Akron, Ohio.
"The English hooks all come from n

Limitations Of Miss Lane.

BY JULIA VALENTINE BOND.
Copyright, 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
A man and girl-that most ancient
OF combinations-with its endless
chain of possibilities-are seated side
by side on bank of coarse grass and
gray boulder, looking seaward. The
old duel Of the sexes has been wagtn8
between them for the best part OF an
hour, but as yet neither party has
been worsted. There are no seconds,
unless a small boy disporting himself
in the middle distance could so be
counted. At any rate he serves as
sort of time-rest to the conversation,
occasionally drawing the attention OF
the pair to himself by the narrowness
Of his escapes from bodily injury. His
efforts are directed toward fixing a
flagpole on O tree in honor of the ap-
preaching Fourth Of July. Dr. Randall
hazards the prophecy that one OF these
days Jack Hughes will kill himself.

The southern girl Miss Mamie Ger
trude Morris, who has been appointed
colonel Of the military staff of Gov.
Allen D. Chandler of Georgia, finds
her position a most enviable ono
Her duties thus far have been chiefly
confined to reviewing regiments, at
tending public functions and making
speeches, and she is everywhere
hailed with enthusiasm by the regi-
ments. Colonel Morris, who is a resi-
dent of Chattanooga, Tenn, but a ma
tive of Georgia, received the honor
that has been conferred upon her in
recognition of services rendered in
entertaining Gov. Gambler, and his
staff on the occasion of their visit to
Chattanooga for the dedication of the
Georgia monument in Chickamauga
park. She is said to appear to utmost
advantage in her uniform with sword
and other regalia.

A Novelty In RrIdepronna.

Seven Vienna ladies, weary of Eu-
rope and Western civilization, have
married seven male members of a Be-
douin troupe which has been perform
ing in the Austrian capital during the
summer and autumn. Five of these ad-
venturous women are spinsters and
two are widows, and they have just ac-
companied their Asiatic spouses to
their native deserts and oases, where
they are to be again married after the
Arabic ceremony. The scene at the sta
tion when they took their farewell of
Felix Austria" says the Vienna Tag
blatt, was truly astonishing. The plat
form was crowded with sympathetic
friends, the majority OF whom were
women and girls, and not few among
them expressed their envy of their sis
ters who had won such magnificent hus-
bands. All the seven brides, accord
ing to the ungallant reporter, "were Of
uncertain age" and, as they all had
some property, he insinuates that the
Arabs were not so much fascinated by
their beauty and youth as by their gold
and silver The crowd Of women left
on the platform as the train steamed
out burst into tears at the departure of
the heroes of the circus.-London Daily

Engineer Got the Old Lady"

The president OF an Eastern railroad
tells of an engineer OF fast freight
train who called on him one day and
asked him to prevent a deaf old woman
from walking on tho tracks along one
section of that division. Several times
the engineer had barely missed run
ming over her, and he was terrified lest
a fatal accident should happen to her
"The only way to prevent a deaf per-
son from walking on the track" said
Mr.. Underwood, would be to cut his
legs OFF," "That Is just what l will do
for my deaf old lady if you cannot
stop her." replied the engineer. In

customed to go to a summer hotel to

In the old times Europe did not
mind the riches of America; it seemed
to the Old World that our mlllionaires
came by their wealth in some crude
way which could not possibly injure
European industries or compete with
them. American money enriched Inn
keepers and the worn-out sons of an
cient and decrepit families, and that
was the end of the matter Three
years ago it was no more suspected
by the mass of Europeans, especially
Of continental Europeans, that we
would soon be competing with their
manufacturers than that we could
knock Cerveras fleet to pieces in
short run along the southern coast Ct
Cuba. There has come n wonderful
change over the dream of Europe 1t
is clear to the most obtuse now that
the United States is the greatest in
dustrlal power in the world, and that
trade and industrial conditions In Eu-
rope must be changed in order to meet
the new giant, observes Harper's

Mrs. Elizabeth Burr Hamilton, said
to be the last member OF the seventh
generation of the Burr family, who
died at Bridgeport, Conn, at the age
of 90, was the fifth cousin of Aaron
Burr, the third vice president of the
United States, who killed Alexander
Hamilton, the lawyer and statesman,
in q duel in 1904. Her death recalls the
fact that, though the families of Burr
and Hamilton were the most bitter en-
emies at the beginning of the last CEN
tury, love found way 32 years after
the famous duel to bring the families
together again by the marriage Of
Elizabeth Burr ana Alexander Hamil-

The Always-With-U Waist.

Soft, full blouses in all shades of
Oriental satin. very much tucked and
with lace insertions. are the ideal
underbodice for wear with the trim
tailor suit. A pretty blouse or odd
waist of white China silk with many
tucks has a large collar edged with
exquisite Maltese lace. The cuffs are
novel and fall over the hands in four
points, each edged with the Maltese
lace. A strikingly odd shirt of coarse
linen is inserted generously with
Irish crochet and has a yoke and
strappings of artistically colored and
worked embroidery-new and very
stylish.

One can find cotton crepe parasols
to carry with cotton crepe gowns.
Linen parasols are good form. With
linen gowns hats trimmed with bright
colors are in evidence.
Get any tartan you need in your

but il means something.
Black silk or satin with colored
broche or embroidered flowers makes
handsome tea gowns, tea jackets and
petticoats.
What makes a pretty waist is
black taffeta stitched with white, hav-
ing a yoke CT white set with French
knots in black.
A deep shoulder collar of lace,
which falls from the throat well over
the shoulders. is a feature of many of
the dainty summer dresses.
A pretty little blue frock which has
a vest and stock of the finest Hamburg
"all-over' has broad collar or revers
of cream lace. which makes a pretty
contrast.
The lingerie" for boys is gorgeous
in colors. Small shirts have striped
wristbands and shirt fronts on plain
bodies of the predominating color in
the stripe.
A parasol which is good style has
black figures upon the red and some
thing Of bandanna effect. The black
figures are outlined with a fine line
of embroidery in white.
A pretty material which has been
used for bridesmaids gowns is white
silk, with small flowers upon. it. a
pretty design being in rosebuds. That
rosebud design on white is a revival
of an old fashion. and is to be seen
in piques. which are charming for
children.
The cross stitch Russian embrof-
derry Is stylish and fashionable this
year in handwork as well as the ma
chine limitations of it. A pretty fea-
ture of little outer linen blouse
which is trimmed with the embroidery
is a pocket upon which is worked in
the cross stitch the monogram of the
wearer.
