holsterer. Between them they furnish up
old things and invent new ones One Of
the latest fields of their work, the Dutch
room has been eagerly taken possession
OF by the bachelor man and maid.
A typical Dutch den for a man is a square
room of something more than medium size.
Three narrow windows, set together in one
side and fitted with small diamond panes,
are so high up from the floor that the light
falls from above. Over them are hung
curtains of old gold Shikii silk, and over
these, on the inner side, are curtains OF
forest green velvet bordered with stamped
red leather straps and looped back with the
same
Under the window is a settle of carved
black oak with a high back, over which
hangs the cowled head of a monk, as
though trying to see his reflection in
mirror set high in the back. The seat is
upholstered in leather.
Hanging above one end of the settle is
q chandelier of black iron chains, upon
which are fastened pieces Of old armor.
The chains support a set of fiat brass bars,
each of which ends in a monks head hold
ing an electrolier. Upon the sides of the
den are fitted small wall brackets made of
brass heads and surmounted by quaint old
time brass candlesticks, in which electric
lights glow
The black, carved mantel shelf furnishes
the right background for the warm glow OF
tall andirons of brass with their compile
ments of cleaning tongs, shoYels ana
pokers to say nothing OF a square ana
richly carved chest of brass, intended III
the old days for wood or coal, but used 10
hold slippers, books, papers and such ODDS
and ends as men sometimes cast together.

broad leather pipe rack is suspended Ihe
leather is green and over 1t strays rlcn
boughs of pine needles and warm-tinied
brown cones. The brass rings which glitter
over il hold pipes of all sorts and condl'
tions from the unsmokable to the TOO

Near by is a cosy reclining chair o.

FEAR FISH WILL BE LEFT
STRANDED AFTER FLOODS

The fish commissioners of the states
along the river where the Mississippi
Is Overlooking are discussing means
to place the fish back in the stream
that have left it and promise to he
caught in ponds to suffer slow death
as the bodies of water dry up.
Undoubtedly millions of fish are
caught annually in this manner. but
he fish that is really worth saving is
usually able to take care of itself. 1t
is only the sluggish mud cat with shad
and carp that prefer the mad of the
ponds to the clearer water of the
open river that are caught in any
great numbers. The large fish. cs-
pecially of the game varieties, as
soon as the water begins to fall.
speedily make for the open river a
fact that is we'll known and is taken
advantage of where ''shutoffs" are
made in violation of the law and the
fish are captured in great numbers
as they hurry back to deep water.
There is a saying among the fisher
men ON the lower river to the effect
when a large fish is caught in pond
near the river by a receding stage of
water that it is an infallible sign
| that there is to be another big
water shortly, thus indicating the UNI
erring instinct that prompts the game
fish under such circumstances.

MELON CROP MAY NOT
BE RUINED AFTER ALL

1t appears that the Muscatine ISL
and melons have not been destroyed
on all parts of the famous tract. The
break in the levee that was reported
during last week was repaired after a
heroic effort On the part of the ISL
anders in which Il quantity of shells
that had been taken from the river by
clammers and were sacked ready for
shipment cut an important figure.
The levee weakened in a number of
places and the greatest vigilance was
required to prevent further damage.
1t is believed now that unless the
water rises further the melon crop
will be saved.

better results than during the last
two months.

ECONOMY THE RULE
Expenses to Be Held Down in
Connection With Militia
Encampment.
o GENERAL HEADQUARTERS
Change of Uniforms Necessary When
Government Takes
State Guard.

Economy will be the rule at the en-
Guard this year, and there will be no
general headquarters on the big hill
back of the post camp, where so many
have been entertained by the officers
in the past. Callers will be welcomed
as of yore, but they need not expect
to be fed and wined at the states eN-
pense. In a large measure Adit. Gen.
Smiths recommendation that there be
no general headquarters is response
BILE for GOV. Yates determination to
refrain from locating quarters at the
camp of the commander-in-chie and
the adJutant general. In the opinion
of Gen. Smith, the elaborate func-
tions and entertainments of the past
served to dwarf the prestige and
standing of the commanding officers
of the company from 100000, the
in their commands.
In addition, Gov. Yates desires to
keep the camp expenses at as low a
figure as possible. With the disap-
pearance of general headquarters. the
members of Gov. Yates staff will be
relieved from camp duty. There are
eight regiments of infantry and one
regiment of cavalry in the national
guard. Each of these organizations
will tour ut camp for week. making
the encampmcnt continue nine weeks
The minor organizations, including
the signal corps, battery, engineers.
etc, have been assigned with the diff
faau.
that the number of men in camp each
week will be about equal.
Uniforms ta BE Altered.
With the passing OF the authority
over the national guards from the
state to the nation. radical changes
in the uniforms of the men 90 into
effect. The insignia on the uniforms
of the officers will be changed TO cor
respond with that used on the uni
forms of the regular army officers
and the most noticeable change will
be discOntinuance of the stripe of
white for one of light blue.
The uniforms will remain of dark
blue and the one and one-half inch
stripes which the officers are priviI-
eyed to wear will in the future be
less easy 10 distinguish, as they are
to be of Il lighter blue. The field Of
the shoulder straps will be of the
same shade of light blue in place of
former conspicuous white. The gold
cord will yet be used. In the corners
of the collars of the standing lapel

NOT ONE BLACK TRACT TO BE SEEN.
Near Elizabethtown Damage Was Slight
Fires Have Been Exaggerated.

Lake Placid N V June 10 (SpeciaD-Despite
the many sensa tional reports that have been sent
out regarding the of the damage done by the
recent forest fires, the Adirondack forests remain
practically unchanged far as their charm tor
summer visitors is concerned. In but one instance
did the flames approach enough 10 any OF
the big summer resorts to do any damage, when
Adirondack Lodge was burned Even in that case
the reports of the affair grossly exaggerated
since resident of this place said to have met his
death fighting the flames there actually lost his
Efe through accidentally falling down a flight OF
stairs in another hotel miles away
AS a matter of fact, with this one exception,
neither the Adirondack hotels nor the forests IN
their vicinity have been touched by fire. Reports
from all points show the situation at each to be
similar that here None of the big hotels have
suffered and the lovers OF the woods now return
ing by each train find change in the pretty
walks drives and shore hooks where they have
passed so many pleasant hours in past seasons.
George L. Brown, Editor and business manager
of The Post and Gazette Eiizabethtown, n. Y,
says of situation there: In view of the gross
tfonS which have appeared OF late In
several New-York daily newspapers concerning
Adirondack forest fires their extent, damage, etc,
ton. shall speak Of this immediate section
Elizabethtown, Pleasant valley as IT was
but our beautiful hsides have not all been burned
over. The scenic beauty observable from this vii,
age in years gone by is st here to aitract i ana
charm. Looking in any direction from TINS village
one cannot see single black fire track. Our hills
have not been burned over and the foliage mere
abouts never looked more fascinating at TINS sea-
The fires in the Adirondacks, while extensive.
have been confined principally TO state lands and
the large unsettled tracts While the loss on
timber as been wellnigh beyond estimate, the loss
other property has been nominal
