Of yore, and Paris is trimming them
merely with soft scarfs Of lace. An
other style OF chapeau which pleases
the chic Parisienne is the ribbon toque,
yards and yards of wide silk or satin
ribbon gauged into the shape OF leaves
placed round the brim. The crown Is
covered with ermlne, sable or any
oLner fur harmonizing In color with
the ribbon. A toque in geranium red
has an astrachan little beastie," the
head upon one side, and the tall rest
inJ upon the hair at the back. The
little animal is fixed upon the hat With
large pearl pin in a prominent po-
Sitlon.

GIVE THEM A omANOE

Don't discourage the girls when they
are learning housework by connning
them too closely to the prescribed
methods, says a writer In the Phil
adelphia Times. Let them introduce
new systems IN the kitchen II they
like. Lot them do as they will, so
long as they do It thoroughly.
Don't think that because you wore
taught to iron pillow slips on the
wrong side they must necessarily do
80, too.
Often the girls 60 out moro than tho
mothers do, and In visiting the var
ious homes among their girl friends
they have an opportunity Of learning
how other people work,
Many Of our daughters leave home
and seek employment IN mills and
stores-in fact, take any work that iS
offered at small compensation-rather
than stay at homo when they must go
through the dull routine Of housework.

TASTE or ARTISTIC DECORATORS.


What q feeling Of rivalry would ex-
ist In the bosoms OF our colonial fore
fathers, the several Loulses. Napoleon
and other notables for whom the ar
tlstic furniture and house decorations
of the day are named, could they step
together into an up-to-date goth cen
tury residence and behold the splen-
dor therein. Each would undoubtedly
feel that In the reproduced furniture
Of his day is embodied all that is
beautiful and artistic, and each would
be justified in this belief, for the house
furnishings of the different epochs, as
reproduced today represent art and
beauty to a marked degree, says tht
Pittsburg Dispatch.
To those who admire straight, stin.
but withal beautiful effects, the colo
nial, empire and Napoleon furnishings
appeal, while the lover Of soft grace
full folds in draperies and the furni-
ture whose every line represents grace,
turns instlnctlvely to the Loulses--the
XIV. and XVI. respectively.

CROP BULLETIN.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1901.
The past week was somewhat
warmer than usual. the average dali
ly excess being from two to four de-
grees. Light showers were reported
on the 18th and 30th, the heaviest
amount being about half an inch
in portions of the north central dis
trlct. Drouth is still holding full
sway, with continued detriment to
potatoes and pastures and him
drance to blowing. Corn is nearing
maturity in all sections and har-
vesting with binders is now in pro-
gress in early planted fields with
prospects that very large percent
age of the crop will be in the shock
before the goth of September. With
normal temperature and usual con
ditions for ripening there will be
but little corn to be dana ed by
frost after the Goth, though some
fields are reported to need till Octo-
Der LIST to mature perfectly. Rain is
much needed for grass and pota-
toes, but corn is generally beyond
need of help from additional nois-
ture. With timely harvesting the
value of the corn fodder this year
will be well nigh inestimable.

A Letter From Buffalo.
BUFFALO, YORK STATE,


Mr.. C. A. MARLIN.-I will try, this
morning, to write you a letter con-
corning the Pan-American, as see
it. The arrangements of the grounds
are fine but cover a great deal of sur
face. The floral decorations are
very nice, indeed. The buildings
are sort of gray with red, yellow
and some blue for trimmings. The
colors blend nicely and do not tire
the eyes as the pure white ones do.
The grounds are illuminated by
two hundred and ninety eight thou
sand incandescent lights and at
seven forty five in the evening they
press the button that lights the
whole and the effect is something
grand. The electric tower is the
center of attraction for everyone
and it is certainly beautiful. Nearly
all the states and all foreign coun-
tries are represented with one ex-
ception and that is Iowa, and she is
marked absent all the way through.
The horticultural display is very
nice, but some say it ought to be
better. The Government building
is grand, and l noticed in one cor
ner an exhibit from the Luzon coun-
try and l thought if Chester was
here he would find great many
things that would be familiar to
him. The New York building is
the finest on the grounds; it is built
of marble and it is to be used after
wards for some historical society,"
Here is found a very fine collec-
ton of paintings from the studio of
James Hope, of Watkins Glen, this
State, and the most of them were
sc ,0rlr T
Chilli has some fine artists also, as
they were showing pictures valued
as high as two thousand dollars.
Honduras also has very fine ex-
| hibit. | saw here piece of embroi-
derry done with human hair, some
of it being so fine the hair had to be
split. The design is coat of arms
about four by five inches in size and
1T took them years to complete it.
Here l found specimens from the
Copan ruins, said to be six hundred
thousand years old. They were all
in remarkably good condition. The
exhibit in the Manufacturer and
Liberal Arts building is fine; the
| Tiffany Fountain is right in the cen
ter and is beautiful. In the Tiffany
exhibit we saw the wonderful Tiffa-
ny diamonds, valued at hundred
thousand dollars. also pearl neck
lace that was valued very highly
and many other things that were
beautiful, among them the Dewey
sword and the loving cup. I must
not forget to mention Midway.
Many of the attractions there are
the same as the Trans mississippi;
all just as noisy and all clamoring
for patronage. Well l think that 1
had better stop now as we are going
to the Falls this morning. You must
excuse all plumbers for I haven't
time this morning to rewrite. will
| let you correct and rewrite to suit
yourself Hoping that you may find
little in this that will be of inter
est to you | remain
Yours very truly.

This afternoon at $500, Friday
September 9th, in the CITY of
Buffalo, New York, William Nc.
kinley, chief executive of the
United States, was shot by an
assassin's bullet and his condi-
ton is precarious. The facts
in the case are unobtainable.
All eyes are watching eagerly
for definite news. 1t is hoped
that he may recover. Eagerly
and anxiously the people wait,
hoping and trusting that he
may be spared and that he may
be restored to health and long
live to successfully aid in the
wise administration of our pub
lie affairs. His past record will
be found in the coming annals
of history. The present fills
the hearts of the people with
sorrow and sadness. The future
while dark and dismal is filled
with the fond hope that his life
may be spared; but we know
that if he is called from the
highest position of honor and
trust within the gift of the peo=
pie his character will stand as a
monument to a noble career,
devoted to the home, mankind
and the glorious Union with
the stars and stripes.
