there can be no longer any doubt that
the neat, semi-fitting, and occasionally
even light-ftting Elton coats and bole-
ros will quite take the place of the
loose Russian blouses and pouched
fronts, which have been popular now
for such a long time This pretty
dress should be made in fine smooth
cloth or soft tweed in pale shade of
pastel green, the coat arranged with an
applique and strappings of white box
cloth, and further adorned with small
dull gold bu,tons arranged in groups
of three.
The coat is cut with the prevailing
slope on the shoulder, where the seam
is hidden under strapping of white
standing cloth, and at the wrists there
are those full ruffles of fine lawn, which
are also to be seen on most of the new
walking costumes for the late spring
and early summer. Deep ruff1es of lawn
or lace, chiffon or mousseline de sole,
are everywhere asserting themselves,
and mademoiselle may be glad to
know of this fact, so that she may pro-
vide herself beforehand with goodly

NOTES FOR BUTTER MAKERS
To Secure Satisfactory Results Cows
Must Be Well Fed and Utensils
Kept Clean.

Keep dairy cows in a good pasture;
give them plenty of pure water to
drink: give them plenty of pea vine
and other nutritious hays, and about
five pounds of cottonseed meal per day
Keep the COW and everything used
in the dairy clean.
Strain the milk through two thick
nesses of cheese cloth as soon as
MIXED. Skim by means of a separa-
tor. Put the cream into refrigera-
tor where the temperature is As de-
grees. When the cream is sufficiently
sour, strain through a wire-gauze
strainer into a barrel or box churn.
Add sufficient butter color to give the
butter nice straw color. Use a dairy
thermometer at all times and have the
temperature of the cream at about Sc
degrees in the summer and 60 degrees
in the winter Do not fill the churn
ever one-third full. Revol.e the churn
crank just fast enough to cause the
cream to fall from one side of the
churn to the other with full force.
Stop the churn as soon as the butter
particles are about the size of wheat
kernels. Draw off the butter milk and
wash the butter first in cold brine and
then in cold clear water. Remove the
butter from the churn, add an ounce
of salt for every pound and work un-
til the salt is evenly distributed

There is no town
on the continent which can empty itself
more speedily than Washington of the
transient visitors who give life to it
while congress is here.
The session of congress which has Just
come to an end has not been rich in the
making of regulations. If any one man
has grown greatly in the estimation of
mouse and senate it is Speaker Cannon
VINO, IN single session, has enrolled
among the little group of really great
speakers who have presided over the &C.
alterations of the house. There are not
many of them. Clay, Colfax, Blaine,
Carlisle and Reed are the names which
occur easily to anybody with historical
bent of mind, and it IS a high tribute to
cannon that at the close Of all unusually
short and uneVentful session, there
should be many who are disposed to
group him with the historic lights.
Both republicans and democrats unite
to sing Cannon's praises. File is as high
ly regarded on the democratic side of the
house as among his own party associates.
Even the most hopeless partisans are
forced to admit that they have no COM
plant to make against the speaker on
account of his conduct in the chair. So
free from partisanishp has he been that
the house has been treated several times
to spectacle hitherto unprecedented
since the creation of the committee or
rules. That committee more than once
has made reports providing special or
ders for legislation in which the repub-
licans and democrats on the committee
united in unanimous action. If this had
happened in the administrations of Reed,
or Crisp, or Henderson, it would have
been thought that the heavens were
about to fall.

often as it might be, think, for smart
but useful summer petticoats. The
three full flounces, at the hem, are
sewn on to a deeper flounce, which
should be protected underneath by a
second thickness of the material sim
ply hemmed. These flounces might
have three little tucks to border the
hem of each, or, if still smarter effect
is aimed at, each flounce might be
adorned with three rows of white satin
baby ribbon.
An idea which might appeal to some
girls would be to have the petticoat tt
self of white alpaca, and then arrange
the deep flounce and the three small
frills in white glace silk, so that the
effect is that of silk skirt, while the
cost is considerably less, and the dura-
bility considerably greater. This idea
might be carried out. of course, equally

vantage that the colors, unless very
pale shades were chosen, would be far
more economical than white.

The Important Comma.

A Philadelphia business man thinks
he has an exceedingly bright Office boy
and nothing pleases him better than to
tell how he acquired the youngsters
services. A short time ago he posted
in his shop window a notice which
read as follows: Boy wanted about IA
years" A lad of that age, with little
that was prepossessing in his appear
ance, came into the Office and stated
that he had read the notice.
We'll, do you think you would like
to have the position, my boy?" asked
the merchant. gazing patronizingly
over the rims of his spectacles at the
unabashed youth.
YES" came the prompt response, ~

can promise to keep it for the full IA
years"

stock of these dainty dress accessories
These lace ruffles, by the way. are most
satisfactory when they are made up on
special little bands of their own into
which they can be gathered or folded,
so that they are complete in them
selves. The band can then be tackled
quite lightly into the sleeves and the
whole thing can be easily removed to
be washed or cleaned. Girls who may
chance to have nice little pieces of real
lace given to them, from time to time,
as some lucky girls do, should make a
point of collecting and saving them
carefully, with view to the manu-
facture of these dainty ruffles in the
immediate future
But to return once more to our
sketch, whence have wandered to give
this little disquisition on the subject of
rutfies, the style of the graceful walk
ing skirt is we'll worth noticing care
fully. The wide fiat pleats. which are
outlined with tailor-stitching, run
downwards from the waist, and give
the effect of an overskirt, bordered
along the edges by lines of stitching
and groups of dull gold buttons. These
pleats come only at the sides and back,
leaving plain panel down the center
OF the front, and the skirt is finished
near the hem with double box-pleats
to form a flounee. At tho waist there
is wide rucking belt of white soft
kid. drawn through large buckle Of
dull gold.
In the matter of hats. mademoiselle
will have a wide choice this summer.
and she must indeed be very difficult to
suit if she is not able to find something
that will be specially becoming to her.
The hats with turn-down mushroom
brims are not to be despised by any
means for country wear. since they
give good shade to the eyes. while to
the average girl they are quite sur
prisingly becoming. For morning wear
they are pretty trimmed either with a
very wide frayed-out ruche of glace
ribbon. arranged round the crown in
graduated sizes. For morning wear,
also. the straw hats. trimmed only with
straw. are very appropriate. Sometimes
the straw is arranged in the form of
loops and bows. rosettes. or buckles
In other cases the straw is worked up
into the close semblance of punches Of
small flowers, tiny roses and rose buds
for example. tinted in various colors
to match the straw hats upon which
they will be used for trimmings.

VOTED FOR NATIONAL AID.
Senate Committee Will Report in Fa-
vor of Uncle Sam Helping I'M
prove the Highways.

The friends of national aid to road
improvements have achieved their first
general victory in congress. The SEN
ate committee on agriculture has de-
cided to report favorably on the CAL
linger-L bill, which is a dupli-
cate of the bill introduced in the house
by Representative BroEnlow. The
vote is reported to have stood six to
one in favor of the measure. Four
democratic senators, Bate. of Tennes-
see; Money, of Mississippi; Simmons.
of North Carolina, and Latimer, of
South Carolina, and two republicans.
Foster, of Washington, and Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, voted for a favorable
report. The only vote in opposition
was that of Senator Proctor. of YER
mont.
Before voting on the bill the COM
mittee adopted several amendments af-
fecting the distribution of the road inn
provement fund among the states.
One, which was insisted upon by Sena-
tor Foster, of Washington, provides
that 100000 is to go to each state, and
that the balance is to be divided in
proportion to population. Another
amendment provides that in making
the distribution according to popula-
ton the cities of over 10000 shall not
be counted This amendment is like
ly to provoke strong opposition, on
the ground of injustice to those states
which contain large cities. 1t will be
charged that this provision amounts
to very much the same thing as tax
alton without representation"
On the whole, however, this report
must be considered as a great forward
step, and an indication that ultimate
success will be achieved in the near
future

he treated the republican majority with
out gloves. But that he had the qualities
of real leadership was hardly suspected
except by some OF his intimates until the
time came when it was necessary to
pick out somebody to assume the re-
sponsibility laid down by Richardson, of
Tennessee.
Williams rose to his opportunity in a
way to delight his fellow democrats in
the house. He has shown tact and bril-
liancy has kept his lance poised for any
possible vulnerable spots in the repub-
lican armor, and at the same time has
maintained personal relations with the
republican leaders which give him in
fluence on the majority side of the house
Williams is a rather curious product
of democratic generation. He was born
in Memphis, Tenn, and his father was a
confederate colonel, killed at Shiloh
Then young Williams, with his mother
moved to his mothers old family home
stead in Yazoo country Mississippi. He
still maintains himself there during the
recesses of congress as lawyer and a
cotton planter. He is one of the most
highly educated men in either branch of
congress. AS he himself expresses it, he
received a fair education" at private
schools.

mental structures on Capitol hill which
will not be exceeded in beauty and dig
nifty by any other group of buildings in
the world.
The two new buildings will trans
form what has hitherto been regarded
as an unsightly section of the city into
spot which will be worth travelling
thousands of miles to see. Each of the
new structures will occupy an entire
square, now filled with old houses and
defaced by glazing billboards. Under
the new arrangement each senator and
representative will be accommodated
with fine suite of rooms, handsomely
furnished and supplied with every COM
fort that any working statesman could
desire.
1t is not so many years since great
cutlery went up over the country be-
cause the senator's had bought an old
hotel, known as the Maltby house,
where those who could not be supplied
with rooms in the capitol kept their
secretaries and their records. Columns
were written about the rugs, and sofas,
and private baths with which these
rooms were furnished, and many peo-
pie throughout the country imagined
that the senate was lavishing the
money of the taxpayers in oriental
luxury.
But times have changed. The Malt
by building is out of date. Those sena-
tors who are condemned to occupy
rooms there regard it as hardship,
and there are mutterings already about
The dilapidated condition of the place.
But it is seen now that a senator or
a representative, for that matter, is en-
titled to at least as much consideration
in the choice OF his working establish
ment as a lawyer burdened with half
the business. AS it is, many repre-
sentatives are compelled to lease
rooms outside the capitol.
With the increase in population Of
the country, the statesman in Wash
ington finds his work and responsible
ity thrice or four times as great as III
the days of the seventies.

A MIGHTY STEP FORWARD.
The General Introduction Of the Tele-
phone Has Proved Of Consider
able Profit to Farmers.

The time is not far distant when
nearly every farmer will have tele-
phone in his house, to be used. not
only in his business, but for conven-
fence and pleasure as well. About FIVE
years ago the wholesale introduction Of
the phone in the agricultural district
commenced, and now it is considered
an essential part of farm equipment by
at least half-million farmers. 1t is
particularly useful to large farms and
cattle ranges and to the truck farmers
near the large cities and in the south.
The advantages are many. and the cost
is slight. The telephone enables the
farmer to keep in closer touch with the
markets than even the daily papers
permit. He is thus able to take adj
vantage of a rising market and send
on his produce or stock, or hold off in
the face Of declining prices. Out in
Illinois last year buyers from outside
began to clean up the broom corn at
called up the farmers on his line and
told them the market was rising rapid
ly. The result was that before the
season ended they got s240 per ton for
their crop. The telephone is of great
benefit in time of danger from frost.
as it enables the farmer to receive the
frost warnings disseminated by the
weather bureau from 10 to So hours
in advance of the threatened freeze.
Information of this kind to be of value
must be received at the earliest prac-
ticable moment, as it takes time to
prepare to fight frost, and few hours
delay may mean the loss of an entire

the American farm has come to stay.
