Forecast of Summer Styles.

Red fou,ards and challies promise
to be even more popular this summer
than the blues thst have SO long held
their own. The model shown in the
large engraving reproduced from the
New York Sun represents frock in
figured red foulard. Tho long, plain
skirt falls in ample fields and has nm
overtunic with q pointed tablier front.
The tuuic is edged ali round with II
broad band OF white Cluny lace. A
broad godet plat headed by q long
narrow lace insertion raises this tunic
at either side. The bolero is in red
velvet yelled with old guIpure that ex-
tends upon the shoulders SO as to
form jockey sleeves. At one side
droops q lace lapel over which the
bolero fastens with a single big but
ton. The sleeves have q cuff CORE.
sponding to the "jockey-sleeve" at
tho shoulder. Red velvet forms the
folded belt. The underblouse, Of
black silk muslin over green silk, is
in artistic contrast to the red OF the
velvet and silk. Small tabs of red
velvet finish the stock in the back.
At the throat is bow in white .tulle.
The hat is in red chip faced with pink
muslin and edged with black velvet.
It's trimming consists of large triple.
loopei bow in black velvet ribbon
with border in pink. A red velvet
chou holds this bow in place and more
choux appear beneath the brim at one
side.
An absolute novelty in street suits
is also shown in the large picture. It
demonstrates two things-the growing
fancifulness OF the tailor-made toi-
lette, and the overpowering popular
ity OF the lace jacket. The suit is OF
pale mauve cloth and has q very
short, single.breas.ed, basqued coat
buttoned snugly down the middle OF
the front. Over the corsage and the
sleeves of this coat is the lace jacket
in ecru guipure. The lapels are in
white satin, hand painted with violets

Tha Forco of Hsreltty.

A college professor in Maine tell.
how he convinced a friend, who did
not believe that beavers could build
dams. Ho bought baby beaver et Q
hunter and sent it to his skeptical
friend.
The creature became q great pet in
the house. but showed no signs OF
wanting to build q dam, until one
Monday morning leaky pail, full Of
water was put on the floor of the back
kitchen. The beaver was there. He
was only baby to be sure, but the
moment he saw the water oozing out
OF o crack in the pail he scampered
into the yard, brought in q chip and
began his work.
His owner was called and watche !:
the little fellow, very much astonisht
at what he saw. He gave orders to
have the pail left where it was, and
the industrious beaver kept at his
work four weeks, when he had built .
solid dam all around the pail.-Ani-

Lake on Mountain Top.

Far down in Southwestern Arizona,
near Sonora, on the Mexican border,
there is a range of mountains which
appears to have but one face OF hard,
smooth granite. The top of this bunch
Of mountains is in the form OF o gigsn-
tic basin. Here the rainfall has been
gathering for ages, until quite an ex-
tensive lake 10 the result.
The overthrow tumbles into acother
basin below, and 50 on through q
series OF nine, the last one being near
the ground and on the direct road
from Yuma to Sonora. The lower
tanks are easy Of access and are often
drained by travellers and animals.
The great upper tank can only be
approached by circuitous and difHcult
climbing. To Q stranger standing be-
low, the upper lake, Of course, has ino
existence. In that plain below are
over 200 graves. Scores Of human
beings, famishing for water, have ex-
pended their last strength in reaching
this spot, only to find the lower tanks
dry; and, ignorant OF the great upper
lake, where thousands of gallons were
to be had for . little climbing, have
laid down in despair to die. Later
travellers passing have buried the nm.
knowns' remains. and always marked
the grave, Mexican fashion, by cross
Of stones.

The Aii.Importsut Question.

A North Omaha Sunday-school
superintendent always conducts the
lesson review in his school. He
spends about FIVE minutes in explain
ing the lesson, and then asks:
''Now, has any one o question to
ssk?"
Last Sunday he explained the les
son az usual, dwelling at length on
its chief thoughts, and wound mp with
the usual question:
"Now, has any one question to
ssk?"
4 member OF the boys junior class
raised his hand.
"well, what is your question:"
asked the superintendent.

Small OIL Mile.

One OF the most promising Of all in.
dustrial developments of the South is
the establishment of individual or
neighborhood cotton oil mills to con"
sumo the cottonseed produced in the
immediate vicinity. These neighbor-
hood cotton mills have proved very
successful wherever they have been
bailt. The writer calls to mind one
such mill owned and operated by the
planters themselves that pays divi-
dend Of from twenty to twenty-five per
cent. annually. This mill only con.
sumes the cottonseed that may be
hauled to it in wagons. It is kept in
operation scarcely two months during
the year, yet every planter who has
stock in the mill gets IN annual divi-
dend OF $50 to S25 on each 500 worth
of stock that he owns. In addition to
this profit, he gets good prices for his
cottonseed without shipping it, and he
is able to provide himself with cheap
oilcake and hulls for his cattle during
the winter.-Philadelphia Ledger.

rhree Women In . Car.

ThYee women IN NuTs
We saw three women in q street car
that were disfgured.
One, when she smiled, showed q
hideous cavity in her upper set OF
teeth.
One had q dark mole on her cheek,
a repulsiSe mole, not one like that
which 1achomo describes so amorously
to the jealous king.
The third had an ugly mark on one
side Of her nose.
Apparently recouciled to their lot.
they talked together in high glee, sis.
ters in misfortune.
And We thought Of stories-of Aaw-
thorne's tale-of the old legend which
tells how Cutter won the daughter OF
Hippocrates and freed her from i'm.
ptisonment in a snakes body by kiss
ing her loathsome mouth.
Perhaps we dozed, for the sun was
hot and the car was slow.
We looked again with look OF ad-
n,irstion tempered with respectful
pity.
We rubbed our eyes.
The women were radiant, without
blemish.
They had all raised their black
dotted net veils.-New York World.
