To persons who like to keep track of no.

month OF July affords abundant material
for study and reflection. The day we cele-

American Diplomacy.
From the Omaha Bee.

The history of American diplomacy shows
that our government has always pur-
sued the policy Of treating foreign ma
tons fairly and honestly, and IL this fact
has been more conspicuous during the last
five or six years than at any other time 1t
Is because in this period our, government
has been called upon to take a larger part
In world affairs than formerly. How great
has been the advantage to our influence and
prestige from pursuing a straightforward
course In our foreign policy there is album
dant evidence. European nations have
learned to place implicit confidence in
American diplomatic representations and
the views of our government in regard to
any international matter affecting the in
terests of the United States are treated
with the greatest respect and receive the
most earnest consideration.

is likely to result from the sudden response
to an alarm. For an engine company, 1t
must be borne in mind, goes just as rapidly
and earnestly to answer false alarm as to
one that signifies work to be done. Unfor-
tunately the scoundrels who play this trick
usually run in these useless alarms at a
time when the department is exceptionally
busy and the men and horses are worn
with frequent runs. A close watch upon
all fire alarm boxes. so far as the capac-
ity Of the police force will allow. should be
maintained at all times

UNCLE sAMs FARM INSURANCE.

There is seed time and harvest at Washington, and just now it is largely seed time. Nearly every member of congress and every senator has his desk piled high with requests for flower and vegetable seeds and all sorts of vines. MT Galloway, the superintendent of the Bureau of Plant Industry is just now a very busy man. Contrary to usual be- lief, the government does not raise all its own seeds on it's own farms and ex- pertinent stations, but purchases seed by contract. Twelve thousand pack ages go to ninety senators and fifteen thousand to 3S6 congressman, with four hundred packages of flower seeds | thrown in for good measure. Pink la- bels indicate the plain, plebeian vege- table seeds, lavender wabels the patri- elan flower seeds, and a third color for the nursery plants and vines. l was interested when shown a day s business on a senator's desk, and there noticed an invoice for seeds as. fol- lows:
 One hundred and two packages vege- table seeds.
 Fifty-one flower seeds.
 Twenty grape, vines. Ninety strawberry vines.

. Nearly every session there is protest against this drift toward paternalism in the distribution of seeds, and every ses- sion there is grand rally to the rescue; nearly the entire congress stands pat on the side of seed deserving constituents. Of course the idea often suggests itself, why not send boots and shoes as we'll as pea and beans, and why not send groceries on this same theory? But this argument will scarcely hold, for no one can deny that the seeds have much to do with the splendid development of the agricultural resources of the nation. The few dollars expended in seeds brings back hundred-fold it's value. and it ill becomes the critics of the seed distribution to sheer at this time-hon- ored custom, for the real basis of the wealth of a country comes from the soil. It was the agricultural reserve force that Withstood even the quaking of Wall street when stocks and bonds were tumbling like a house of cards.-Nation- al Magazine for April.

MILLINERY FOR THE SUMMER.
A Description of Tissues to be Used 1T
 Making Hats.


 Notable in the millinery for the spring and summer is the extraordinary and extensive use to which is devoted the silk gossamer and other suitable silk tissues for the making. Generally these creations will be recognized as for the more dainty toilets for which fashiona- ble women reserve certain hats and bonnets in their wardrobes. But more than ever of a previous season, it seems possible that the headwear of the silk diaphanes and other light silk tissues, may come into more ordinary use as they were more numerous than ever be- fore in the illustrative models shown in the opening; and as they seemed, in a certain sense, to be rivals of the heav- fer, more substantial and more service able productions of the different braids that now appear in headwear.
 Of the silk muslins seen in imported models, in the recent expositions, chif- fon was most frequent; while both in models and in piece goods, to be em- ployed alike as the objective material in the creation, and as facing, etc. were to be discovered silk null, crepe lisse and diaphanous crepe de chine, with a revival of the old-fashioned crepe of many years ago-malines tulle being also still in requisition and destined, perhaps, as the season progresses, to run a close second to chiffon for the creation of dainty and elegant hats and bonnetS.
 Of heavier body, and giving the effect of greater serYiceableness as construc- tive materials for millinery, are the thin, limp Liberty satins and taffets, the Louisine and basket silk textures, the soft plant reps, the armures and other closely woven silk tissues which vary 1 the gossamers in imported models and 1 in piece goods for headwear production The chiffon mostly in evidence, as seen thus far since the season was ushered in, is of plain finish and in plain colors but there have been large importations of ehiffons finished in crimping, the crimping variously in straight lines UT and down the width and in zigzag lines; nd a novel fancy in finish appears
