Of the islands, wild duck, with low,
agitated flight, hastens with her young

beneath the shadow Of the rocks,
watching a large hare that has left
his shelter and Is feeding on the
tender greens. Soon an unwary move
ment causes alarm, and with four
bounds he has nearly gone; but now,
for a moment, he stops, his ears erect,
and every instinct alert; then he
slowly vanishes. The bright, gleam-
ing eyes of a raccoon attract us to
the hollow log, and the long-drawn
moan OF the wolf warns us that the
hour Is late.
Nature provides bountifully for the
animal life in these vast wildernesses.

Moore's paradise lies just east OF

Of the Moon river 1t has always

THESE lakes half q century ago were

islands. The old forests that border
the shores are peopled with the great
,patriarchs of the wood. These forests
are the abiding-place of bear, deer,

on which are placed rosettes or wings.
and sometimes an enormous bird on
the crown. Such hat or toque In black
and white, gray. blue, brown, or tomato
color Is admirable wear for the autumn
and early winter. We have also the
cloth hat lightened by crown and
piping OF velvet, trimmed as simply as
possible. Then small, compact, and
useful are the eighteenth century riding
hats, OF lightest felt or beaver, adorned
with ruchings Of chiffon velours and
bunch OF COG feathers at the side or
waving paradis plume. Tiny three
cornered captoes are being worn In Paris
made of cloth and velvet, simply
trimmed with satin or MORE rosettes.
Very smart are those of the "tricorne"
shape in felt, with band OF gold or
silver braid. Here, too. are the old
chenille plaits used, sometimes adorned
with tiny ribbon ruches which play an
important part In the decoration OF more
picturesque hats.
Entire hats Of shaded chenille are
trimmed with thick ruches Of stiff, COL
ored ribbons, coming Ugh up on to the
rather fiat crown. Taking 1t all round,
should say that crowns are mostly
high, though fiat ones are also seen;
the latter are often heightened by the
arrangement Of the bows, loops Of vel.
vet, and feathers. The trimming is
brought from the back to the front,
giving the desired height to the face.
A beautiful model in claret-colored
felt, shaped like wide Directoire bon
net, had shaded velvet ribbon bows on
the crown. at the side Of which were
two plumes. arranged so that the tips fell
softly over the brim in front.
Curious buckles Of tortoise she'll
paste, copper, gun metal and enamel'
are used; in fact, all kinds OF ornaments
may find a place on suitable headgear
and most fantastic hat pins are seen
Chrysanthemums made Of enamel art
very pretty and effective In autuEna

How popular are the dead shades II

I am sending a picture of pretty
Roumey gown that believe will be ap'

crepe de chine or some other soft ma

be OF a darker shade, lined with silh

that you will find the hat also very
becoming with its velvet ribbon passing
under the chin.

A FINE BAG.

In August and September the rocks
abound with great patches Of rasp-
berries, blackberries. dewberries and
biueberries, while the autumn season
brings with 1t such vast quantities OF
cranberries as no cultivated marshes
lave ever known. Around three sides
OF Mud lake are marshes that are fair
" burdened with cranberries, the lus-
cious red fruit in its setting OF pc
culiar green leaves being worthy the
brush of a master painter. And
through these marshes the deer run
ways lead to the water. Here the ami
mails find both food and drink, and to
them also come the sportsmen to add
death to the list. How often have l
sat in a canoe in the small 'coves,
screened behind the dense tangles OF
hlushwood, and watched the majestic
animals come down to drink. How
often have l seen them swim from
mainland to island and back again.

The Hayes Tilden contest In 1870
while 1t did not throw the election int

tional and critical episodes in the po
litical history of our country. The final
result hinged upon the returns from
Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina
On the morning after the election the
newspapers OF all parties announced
the election OF Tilden, but a murmui
of the coming storm came at the same
time when the national committee oil

election OF Hayes.
An electoral commission was ap
pointed by special act Of congress az
a tribunal of last resort, to determine
the disputed election. This was finally
done in favor of the Hayes electors
and he was declared elected. The very
close battle between Garfield and Han
cock four years later, and the Cleve
land Blaine struggle OF 1884 that
turned upon 1,1OO majority in vote Of
nearly 100000 in New York state
demonstrated the necessity Of having
some definite statute providing for the
determination of disputed electoral
votes in the states, by which such dis
putes would be- practically eliminated
from the powers Of congress. This
necessity bore fruit in the law which
was enacted In 1887, and which 10
