Farm Life for Women.

1t has been said that young farm
ers would not be so anxious to come
to the city if it were not for the excess
sive distaste of young women in the
country to settle down to the drudgery
of woman's work on the farm. Eff
forts are being made in several states
to ccunteract this objection by max
ing farm life more agreeable.
Mrs. Virginia c. Meredith, precep-
tress of the school Of agriculture of
Minnesota university, herself a prac-
tical woman farmer, says:
"The farm home is the ideal home,
and the thought Of our school is al
ways to educate the girl for the life
she will have to live. We give our
girls special work adapted to women
in the home. Butter making is not
drudgery to the girl who understands
the why of it, and sewing is rapidly
ceasing to be a lost art now that the
girls see that patterns are comprehen-
sible things and not Chinese puzzles" :"

ParasoIs for the Summer.

Parasols for the summer of 1901 are
to a degree attractive. Some exqui-
sitely dainty examples are chiffon in
serted with lace and frilled with
tucked rutfles, which are again edged
with narrow lace. Black and white
effects in parasols are the vogue, and
they are inserted with black velvet
and panne appliques, which are edged
with tiny gold or silver cord. The
most alluring novelty of the -eason is
a parasol of thin cloth of gold built
over a white silk foundation. 1t is
incrusted with velvet designs. There
is a tendency to keep the edges of par
asols plain, although of course in tie
more elaborate examples lace is used.
In fact, parasol covers with real lf ,e
are deemed the most elegant of tie
season. Both the medium size and the
small old fashioned carriage parasol

GOLD CHEAPER THAN PAINT.


Why the Dome of the Congressi onal Ii.
brnry Is Covered with Gilt.
1t is only natural that the stranger
in Washington should comment on the
gilded dome of the library of congress,
which is one of the three conspicuous
landmarks of the city, the Washing
ton monument and the dome of the
capitol being the other two. Few ot
those who gaze upon this wonderful
creation know that in giving such an
attractive finish to this superb build
ing the idea of economy was upper
most This gilded dome will stand
for years to come as an illustration
OF the care and thoroughness of the
late General Casey OF the engineers,
under whose Supervision the building
was constructed. 1t was at first pro-
posed to paint the dome, and al
though no color was named it was as
sumed that it would be either white
or gray. General Casey decided that
gliding would not only oulast any
paint, but would apparently tighten
the top of the immense structure.
In pursuance of this idea. he ad-
vertised for proposals for covering
the dome and the pyramidal structure
underneath the lantern with gold leaf.
The lowest bidder offered to do the
work for S1.10 a square foot 1t was
required that the gold leaf should be
% carats fine under assay Discardlng
the eXtravagant bids which had been
submitted, General Casey purchased
the gold, found workmen who knew
how to beat it and others to apply
it, and succeeded in accomplishing the
work in q thoroughly satisfactory
manner at q cost of 33 1-3 cents a
square foot. The entire cost of gold
leafing the dome and its pyramidal
base was only $4,000. At the time
General Casey estimated that gliding
would last at least 80 years. Although
it was applied more than five years
ago, it looks as bright as on the day
when the last sheet was put on. The
general figured that the cost of paint
ing the dome would have equallei in
five years the cost Of gliding it, so
that the gold leaf is the least ex-
pensive covering for the dome. and
the effect is beautiful in the extreme.

Musical Orders For an Army.

The Russian General Krianowski il
musical amateur, who has discov-
cred a new way to utilize music in tie
Russian army. The Russian troops,
1t is declared, sing on the march, and
the worthy general hopes to cause
them to be known by the tune that
they sing in order thar he may tell in
what part of the field each regiment is
at given moment.
The idea is, of course, capable OF
expansion. Instead of, as now, order

Hats of point d'esprit are among
the prettisst light hats for children.
Dainty little corset covers are of dim
ity, with small figures in delicate blue
and pink upon them.
The buckles on ties are losing their
plainness, and instead Of the round
metal harness buckle, show d cutting
in squares, which is very considera-
BILE Improvement.
Bands Of point d'esprit set into fine
muslin gowns make one of the pretti-
est of trimmings. There is an edge Of
it usually on the flounce with which
the skirt is finished.
Golf belts are of leather, with leath-
er buckles and sometimes studded
with nails. Ooze leather belts are
very stylish and are shaped somewhat
wider at the back than in front.
One can use ones belt clasps now for
hats if one has taste that way. These
buckles, or rather clasps, are to be
seen on some Of the hats in the sailor
styles holding the band of ribbon or
velvet at the side.
The new sweater for golfing is cut
low in the neck like the golf vest and
is 'apelless. The pattern is striped
one in brilliant red or green and the
buttons down the front are of gold, Or
namented with crossed golf sticks OF
grf enamel.
There is no end to the variety to be
scea in sashes. They come in watered
silk with painted flowers; in satin with
raised velvet flowers; in white silk
with fancy weave; with no other or
nament than the fringe, with which
most of the shashes are finished, and
there are colored ribbons in fancy
weaves, the material in stripes, some
lepgthwise and some across.

How Ella wheeler wilcox Looks.

The first thing stranger notices
about Ella Wheeler Wilcox is her
eyes. They have the coloring of a
yellow brown topaz, and the tone is
repeated again in her hair. She has
very expressive face and expressive
hands. While you watch her talk it
impresses you that if she had not be-
come a successful poet she might have
been an equally successful actress.
She has a melodious voice, and a
youthful, graceful figure.
The gowns she wears are of diff
ferent style from anything you find
in fashion magazine. Ten years ago
she adopted certain styles which were
becoming and comfortable, and ever
since her gowns have been something
like an idealized Empire dress.-Good

Point lace, which is especially asso-
ciated with bridal occasions, is the fa-

but all varieties of lace are fashiona-
BILE. Some of the finer deep nets with
lace border are used for flounced
skirts. With these the waist usually
is trimmed with bolero of the fig

The long points of the jacket hang
down over the skirt, but at the back
the waist is all in one piece. A Cluny
lace gown just completed is made with
the body of the gown of louisine, and
a wide flounce of the Cluny. The waist
is of the lace, made with a square
yoke effect.-Harper's Bazar.

Is in vogue, and women of fashion are
searching in their treasure boxes for
the dainty little sun shades that were
a par. of every woman's dress 25 years
ago.
Thread lace then was the most desir-
able, and both black and white covers
were mounted over white silk. The
handles Of these dainty articles are of
carved ivory, tortoise shell and coral.
The popular cover of the medium
sized parasol is Duchess lace. Plain
taffeta parasols, which are, in fact, a
little less small than the average wom-
ans umbrella, are the latest fancy of
the moment. They have club handles,
which are studded with brass or silver
nail heads, the same nail head appear
ing in the stubby little ends Again,
dogs heads carved from ebony are
surmounting the sticks of light sun
shades. These parasols are to be
found in all of the light shades, pink,
lavender, green, blue and yellow, but
the white parasol is considered the
smartest to wear with the average
summer costume, but if madam's purse
strings are long enough she will have
a parasol to accompany each costume
There are also to be found among the
new parasols those Of the delicate
fiowered silks. A white parasol, for
example, is besprinkled with hazy Law
ender flowers, and it has handle Of
carved gold, set with amethyst. In
fact, most Of the colored parasols have
a colored stone in the handle to match
the tone of the silk. Jet spangle
appear on many of he lace designs,
and silver spangles are employed with
embroidery and insertion. A charm
ing example Of white silk has large
ostrich plume design in black lace,
plume being illuminated by silver
spangles.-Chicago Record-Herald.

some of Verdi's earlier operas were so
easily caught from rehearsal that they
were frequently whistled on the
street before the opera was produced

first representation. the manuscript of

Sill An Unknown Land.

Large areas Of the South American
continent have never yet been trodden
by the foot Of civilized man. 1t will
surprise many to learn that there are
! larger tracts uneXplored in that region
than in Darkest Africa, yet such is the
fact. A large majority of the cities
along the coasts of South America,
known to every pupil in the public
school, were settled in the Columbian
era Civilization is in fact much old
er there than in North America. Yet
for nearly 800 years there has been
not much organized attempt to explore
the interior. The first expedition sent
out by a South American government
was in 1875. Many of these countries
are without exact maps of their own
territory. Most of the maps in use
| have been made by explorers from
Europe or the United States.
The greater part OF the immense
tract of land in the middle of the con-
tinent from Venezuela to Chile has
not yet reached the toughest pioneer
state OF civilization. A considerable
part Of Colombia is still wholly un-
known. The several Atlantic states,
even as far north as Uruguay, have
many blank sections on their maps.
The Guianas, except for a strip along
the coast, are practically. unknown.
The condition of affairs in Brazil Is
scarcely better. The Brazilian gov
ernment has no department cores
ponding to our geographical or coast
and geodetic surveys The only e1-
ploring done has been carried on by
the states. There ore large tracts in
the northern part of Brazil which have
never been crossed, as far as is known,
by any white man.
