SUMMER Tyranny sHAvVLs !"
Airy Wrap Of Knitted Stuff That Is
Not a Popular Fancy Of
Young Women.

While speaking of the fancies of the
summer girl, lone must not forget to
mention the granny shawl which are to
be SO much worn this season. They
come in every color and are made Of al
most every material under the sun. And
they can be bought in knitted goods, in
cashmere and in the heavier shawl
stuffs. There can also be obtained, says
the Brooklyn Eagle. the granny shawl
with the thin stripe and the oId-fosh-
Toned shawl with the crepe stripe.
The typical granny shawl is perfectly
square. 1t must be folded so that the
point comes down in the middle of the
back, and 1t is to be thrown around the
shoulders and fastened upon the bust in
the middle of the chest. 1t can be Sc
cured with a big old-fashioned cameo
pin, which is the smart fastening for it.
But there are other ways to wear the
granny shawl and one Of these Is folded
long and thrown around the shoulders.
This shawl hangs down in front and
passes under the arms instead of over
them. Then there is the granny shawl
which is worn in Cuban fashion, thrown
around the head and draped around and
across the shoulders. Any woman who
was belle 20 years ago knows how to
do it.
And as for the shawls themselves.
What intrieacies Of knitting do they
show, what variety of pattern, what
wonders of silk and wool, ali cunningly
intermingled There are shawIs kit
ted as fine as a web and in the midst of
the webbing there are marvellous flowers
all crocheted by hand and, in many of
the shawls, there is an applique of roses
and there are strips of lace cunningly

In the Holy Land the sublime porte

w. H Ballou, in Railways in the Holy
Land" in Four-Track News.
His majesty has method in his prog

with railroads for his defenses, but he
will make the foreigners, the tourists,
pay the cost by inducing travel in his

So, too, American agricultural ma
chimes, steam plows and threshers, mo-
tor mills, etc, are allowed to enter and
crush out the last vestige of the methods
of Father Abraham, in order that i'm

ENGLISH BARD WAS RIGHT.
Why Shakespeare Located Scenes OF
Hamlet at Elsinore Instead
of at Jutland.

Dramatic critics and commentators
have long been puzzled to account for
the fact that Shakespeare placed the
scene Of Hamlet" at Elsinore, In the
Island of Zealand, whereas the Danish
prince lived and died in Jutland But
Just recently the municipal authorities
at Elsinore, or Helsingor, have discoY-
cred in their archives that an English
company was acting in their town in
1887 or or 1888, and among the names Of
the actors are several of those who were
acting with Shakespeare In London in
1889.
Obviously these actors must have
talked about their adventures in Dem
mark, and so Shakespeare became we'll
acquainted with Elsinore, and, when he
wrote Hamlet" naturally placed the
scenein a place which he knew by descrip-
ton rather than in an island Of which he
knew nothing. The poet was no great
stickler for accuracy in geographical
matters and this visit of the English &C
tors plausibly explains the reason why
the tragedy of Hamlet" was placed in
Zealand and not in Jutland

achievements Needed.

/ None of the many small wars In
which Britain's troops have been en-
gagged during the past century have
offered SO manysphysical difficulties as
the present expedition to Thibet. Tha
advance to the Sikhim border before
the mission entered Thfbetan terri
tory was a weary march OF 30 miles
in single fllef over a rough h1ll-patR
rising and falling sometimes as much
as 1000 feet in mile and ending In
snow-pass nearly as high as Mont
Blanc. Thence the road dipped Steep
~ down to the Chumbi valley, at the
head of which stands Phar1 Fort,
where q long halt was made to bring
up supplies. Life at Phari is described
by one Of the mission as period OF
unutterable discomfort. The fort was
filthy in the extreme, and the only fuel
to be had was the droppings of cattle.
The thermometer fell to zero at night;
the bitter wind which swept the frozen
valley caused the death of several
men; and the intense cold and clouds
of dust, with the choking smoke OF
the manure fires, brought on hacking
coughs and sore throats. Early in
January further advance was made
over the Tangla, a pass 1900 feet
high, to Tuna, where the country
opens out into desolate tract OF bar
rem rolling hills and fiat sandy val
leys, very trying to- men and animals;
Here the mission had to remain for
nearly three months to collect supplies.
Transport difficulties at this period
were enormous. Fifty per cent of the
yaks which had been collected died
from anthrax and rinderpest; all the
camels died; and of 200 buffaloes not
one survived the first two months.
Aconite and rhododendron poisoning,
overwork, undertaking and accidents
made havoc among the ponies and
bullocks, and the latter were also at
tackled by foot-and-mouth disease;
while frostbite, sunstroke and pneue
monia proved fatal to number of the
native followers and coolies, and even
to some of the soldiers. Tuna, though
not so windy, is colder than Phari, 55
degrees Of frost having been registered
there at night; and the village is, If
possible, dirtier than Phari-so much

DRINK HABIT IN BRITAIN.
Returns for United Kingdom Show
!, That Scotch Take Most Spirits
and English Most Beer.

contradiction Of the assertion that
drunkenness is on the increase in Great
Britain has been entered by Rev. Dew
son Burns, .. D., in contribution to
the London Times, says United States
Consul Mahin, at Nottingham, England,
in recent report. "A table submitted
by DR.. Burns shows a decline in the pro-
duction Of Intoxicating liquors of about
$25,0o0,000 in 1908, as compared with
1902. He suggests no reason for this de-
cline, but adds that as business In near
ly all lines was very dull during the year,
as the number of people out of work
was greater than in 1902, and as the
drink habit is most prevalent ameng
ge-earners, 1t is not unfair to surmise
that the decreased consumption of liq-
uors may have been involuntary.
DR.. Burns says that an analysis Of
the returns for the United Kingdom
show that Ireland consumes per head
slightly more spirits than England, and
Scotland nearly twice as much. OF beer
England consumes rs per cent. more per
capita than ireland, and over 300 per
cent more than Scotland

MUSIC DECIDES A SUIT.
Berlin Judge Calls Famous Musician
as Expert Witness to Prove
Value of Violin.

On one occasion. some time ago, all
who were present in the court of justice
at Berlin had the great pleasure of lis
tening to free performance by Prof.
Joachim, the famous violinist. It APP
peared from the evidence that dealer
in musical instruments was charged
with cheating a customer by represent
ing that violin which he offered for
sale at $125 was an instrument that
could be played.
The, great professor was called in as
an expert witness, and, taking up the i'm
pugned instrument, he proceeded to play
upon it. Under his magic fingers it
really sounded like violin, but in few
minutes, much to the regret of his lis
teners, the maestro laid the instrum ent
down with an evident air of contempt
But he had secured the accused's ac-
quittal.
The great tenor Mario once had to
give a free exhibition of his magnif1-
cent vocal powers in court, in order to
gain freedom for himself He had been
arrested in Madrid in mistake for mis-
chievous political agitator, and in vain
proclaimed his identity to the powers
that be. Finally, he was told that IL he
really was the famous singer, his voice
was a certain means of convincing the
court of the truth Of his claim For
seven or eight minutes Mario held all
within hearing spellbound, and he was
then allowed to take his departure, with
profuse apologies for his arrest and de-
tention

A Tokyo dispatch says that General
Kuroki reports that a detachment of
Japanese troops attacked and drove
off force of 800 Russian cavalry and
occupied Kanchang, the enemy retir-
ing northward.
Later 1900 Russian cavalry attack
ed a japanese detachment near the
north entrance to Fenshui pass. The
Russians were repulsed and the Japa-
! nese retained possession of the en-
trance to the pass.
General Sacharoff also reported that
the Japanese had begun to advance,
but not in considerable force, toward
Siaosyou, occupying Sianchan.
A dispatch from Tokyo says that
Major General Koizumi received bull
let wound in the hip during the fight
ing which resulted in the capture of

so that in spite of the intense cold
the officers preferred tents to the filth
of the houses.
The advance from Tuna to Gyang-
tse, and the various fights which have
taken place, are fresh in the mind of
everyone, and the present situation of
the mission is serious enough to cause
some little anxiety. The attack on the
camp has been repulsed, but the adj
vance is checked; the camp is still
partially invested, and the assailants
are reported to be using rifles of "su-
perior European make" and a number
of guns which throw one-pound solid
shot, while their fire at 1000 to 1,400
yards is said to be fairly accurate. A
large army is believed to be massing
In the Rong valley, beyond the Karo
pass, and evidently they intend to
offer strenuous resistance to our
further advance towards Lassa. Tween
ty thousand men are rumored to be
under arms, and no doubt reinforce
ments are coming in daily. Already
the Indian government has ordered
some 500 more men and four mountain
guns to proceed to Thibet, and it is
possible that the expedition will have
to be largely increased before it is
strong enough to force a passage to
Lassa, a distance of la miles across
several mountain ranges and a large
river. But in an expedition of this
kind, every addition to the force means
an immense increase in the difficulties
of transport. Those whose experience
of war has beenAgained in level coun-
tries, where broad roads and railways
play their part, troops can move on
wide front, and wheeled vehicles can
be used, have no idea of the difficulties
attending the march of a. column with
its baggage and supplies on front of

stumbling pack animals; where the
slow progress of the struggling column
is rendered shower by the strain on
heart and lungs caused by the rarified
air, and fallen mule may block the
road for ten minutes; while the bitter
cold numbs the limbs, and the glaro
of the sun blinds the eyes, the task
of moving any considerable force as
sumes gigantic proportions.

Outlook Was Poor.

One of the most striking comments on
the belated spring was that of the
Rochester schoolboy, who asked his
teacher if there would be the usual lone
summer vacation this year, in case the
warm weather did not come on. The
humor in this true story lies in the fact
that we do rely implicitly on the regu-
larity of nature in the great essentials
in spite of her occasional vagaries.-
