TOQUES AND SMALL HATS.
There Has Been n Decided Reaction
in Their Favor.

From the Millinery Trade Review.
Much of the new millinery brought out
for Easter Is trimmed with more than a
liberal supply of flowers when not entirely
made Of them. Last month the fate Of
floral toques and small hats was trembling
in the balance. Since then there has been
a decided reaction In their favor, thanks
to the initiative of a few of the first houses
1t is almost superfiuous to point out that
perfection in this line can only be attained
by using the very best quality Of flowers
and foliage; the second-rate may pass
muster when the quantity required is
small, whereas, when massed together to
cover an entire shape. they show to great
disadvantage. The forms used to cover
with flowers are more varied than they
were earlier in the season, so that a
further flavor of novelty is given TO these
new models by reason OF their shape.
Here is one of boat form. almost pointed
back and front, made of very pale double
VioletS without leaves, clustered closely to-
gether from the edge Of the brim to the
top Of the crown in a gentle incline. Run
ming from the point in front over the left
side is a straight row of greenish-white
roses. constituting the only trimming. A
small, round, fiat toque shape Is entirely
covered with damask roses and leaves,
each flower being mounted separately with
a good many leaves, and then placed on
the shape one bunch under the brim be-
hind the ear.
A similar arrangement is carried out In
bluets. But in this case the flowers are
made up into little punches of three or
four, surrounded by green grasses clipped
rather short and then sewn side by side
over a medium-sized hat shape with beret
crown and brim turned on the left, the un-
der side Of this being covered in the same
way.

cloves and sprig OF parsley. Place over
the fire and bring to boiling, then stand
the boiler where it will just simmer until
the chicken is very tender. When done
let 1t cool in its own liquor. Take out, re-
move skin, fat and bone; put these back
into the kettle again and reduce by SIM
mering for an hour. Then strain off from
the bones Add half a box OF gelatine, stir
until dissolved, Then cut the chicken into
small dice, season well with salt and pep
per and little celery salt; put the meat
into an oblong mold and season the jelly
and pour over it, stirring the meat slightly
with fork so the jelly can mix through it.
Set at once in cold place to harden. This
can be served in slices with lemon and
parsley or creSS or cut into cubes and
served as salad with mayonnaise. BY
using less water when steaming the chicken
and reducing 1t more the liquor will jelly
without the addition of the gelatine, but
requires a little more time.

For His Good.

From the Youths Companion.
A New York household has been provi-
sionaly ruled for years by sa able cook who
rejoices in the name of Rosa. One day. not
long ago, this important person sailed into
the presence of her nominal mistress and
announced that she had disclosure to
make.

Leone, fo' his own good. tomorrow chem

The Grand Medicine Man.

From the Open Court.
The ceremony of the Grand Medicine is
an elaborate ritual, covering several days,
the endless number of gods and spirits be-
ing called upon to minister to the sick man
and to lengthen his life. The several de-
grees Of the Grand Medicine teach the use
of incantations, OF medicines and poisons,
and the requirements necessary to consti-
tute a brave. "When a young man seeks
admission to the Grand Medicine Lodge, he
first fasts until he sees in his dream some
animal (the mink, beaver, otter and fisher
being most common), which he hunts and
kills. The skin is then ornamented with
beads porcupine qulls, and the spirit of
the animal becomes the friend and COM
panion of the man." The medicine men
have only q limited knowledge of herbs,
but they are expert in dressing wounds, and
the art of extracting barbed arrows from
the flesh can be learned from them.
In olden tmes-yes, to within the memory
of living Ojibways-the medicine man at
the funeral ceremony thus addressed the
departed: Dear friend, you will not feel
lonely while pursuing your journey toward
the setting sun. 1 have killed for you a
Sioux (hated' enemy of the Ojibways) and
have scalped him He will accompany you
and provide for you, hunting your food as
you need it. The scalp L have taken, use
1t for your moccasins.'

The Breakdown i'm England's
TeIegraphic System

LOSSES WERE GREAT.
London Alone Sustained Dam
ages of 81, 600.
at 5000, 900.

London, Dec. 21.-The breakdown of
England's Geographic system which is
still in a state of semi-chaos Is the re-
suit of the recent severe storms has
produced a widespread demand for I'M
foreground wires. This system is al
ready in use between London and Biz
mingham and is being extended north
ward The postoff1ce authorities point
to the tremendous expense which will
be involved in changing from overhead
to underground wires throughout the
United Kingdom, but those who are
~agitating for the change maintain that
the loss caused by the recent storms
would have gone far towards defraying
the outlay which the postoffice breads.
1t is that London alone lost
9200,00 by the breakdown of the tere-
graph wires, while the railroads call
culate their loss from the same cause
at about G40, 600. Anotner objection put
forward by the government is that I'M
foreground wires are slower and harder
to work than overhead wires.
Though the damage was inflicted over
a week ago, the telegraph and tele-
phonic communication between london
and the provinces is still incomplete and
in some instances is not yet restored.

Calderhead his old friend,

dent. During the Civil war Captain
HegHeer served in the Ninth Kansas
cavalry and also in the Eighteenth
Kansas infantry. For a time after the
war he resided at Hutchinson, but now
halls from Denver and wants to be reg
lister OF the land office at that place MI
Calderhead called the presidents at
tention to the honorable record Captain
Hegweer had made for himself and also
told him that he had given three. sons
to the Spanish-American war, two Of
whom died in the service and the third
one was wounded This third son was
at Victor last fall when Roosevelt was
attacked there by a mob, and it was he
who defended the then for
vice president at that time. When this
was told the president said: 4 remem-
Der him and how he knocked the man
down who was striking at me-" And
calling a clerk, he directed that his
personal attention be called in this case
when the matter should be brought up
for settlement and gave Capt. Hegweer
the impression that he would be ap-
pointed. Why should he not be?
Prof. Mark Alfred Carleton, Manhat-
tam cereals of the department Of ag-
riculture, started west on the 18th to
investigate the present condition of his
macaroni wheat experiments in Okla

that the experiments which were con-
cluded at harvest time last summer
were very satisfactory. In South Da-
kota, where a severe drouth occurred to
shorten the wheat crop, the macaroni
wheat yielded twice as much as the
common acclimated wheat. He believes
that after the macaroni wheat becomes
better acclimated. in a year or two. it
will yield even better than it did last
