SOME REMARKABLE VOYAGES
Cruises in Small Craft That Have in Some Instances Resulted
 Disastrously.

Upward of hundred men have ven- tured on long cruises in boats from 12 to 40 feet in length Capt. Joshua Slo- cum is perhaps the best known of these vOyagers. says the New York Herald. The feat which he has accomplished is certainly the most daring which has been brought to successful finish. With a 40-foot yawl called the Spray. Capt. Slocum started from Boston in April, 1905, to circumnavigate the world. He arrived at Gibraltar a month later and set sail for Pernambuco. on the coast of South America From there he set sail for Rio Janeiro to Buenos Ayres. through the Straits of Magellan to the island of Juan Fernandez, made famous by Defoes Robinson Crusoe" The Spray then headed for the Samoan islands. making the 5000 miles after run of 6 days. Sydney, in New South Wales, was the next stop, then down to Tasmania, returning up the coast to Queensland. and through the Torres straits into the Indian ocean and Mau- ritius. He next sailed to Cape Town, and was at last in the Atlantic ocean. He returned home by way of St. Helena and Grenada, having covered a distance of 46.000 miles
 The voyages of Andrews and Lawler are still remembered, though they were made as far back as 1878. Andrews had hard luck from the start. for he was capsized five times. and was at last taken on board a passing vessel more dead than alive Lawler however. reached the Lizard after a more or less exciting trip. Later Andrews proposed another trip and the two started from Boston Andrews succeeded in reach ,ng the coast of Portugal after try ing voyage of 31 days. But Lawler was never seen or heard of again

WASHING TONI CAPITOL
PROPOSED ADDITIONS WILL ADD
 GREATLY TO ITS BEAUTY.
An Architectural Marvel Which Has Grown with the Country-Suppos- edly Completed Several Times
 Plans of Walter.

A commission designated by the last session of congress h.s been inyesti- gating proposed additions to the na- uonal capitol building at Washington and will recommend the extension of the east front of the building to con form to plans drawn by Architect Thomas L. Walter way back in 1865
 This will add another to the many additions and extensions the original building, as designed by George Wash ington, has received. Still, through all of these the harmonious proportions or the great pile have been main tained, the architectural scale followed and the rounded whole will yet be a thing of beauty and inspiration to all who look upon it
 The capitol to-day contains 430 rooms, and with the contemplated addition it will have about 450 rooms. When the extension is completed the whole edifce, including the works of art and fittings which it contains. will have cost very nearly s1S,00O 900, a sum much greater than the fathers of the republic evqr imagined would be necessary for capitol building.
 The corner stone of the original cap itol building was laid on September s, lI93, with speech by Washington and a grand military procession, fol- lowed by barbecue. The plans of the structure were altogether in the hands of President Washington himself and the site selected was of his own choice.
 The federal government came to Washington in the year 1900, and on November the senate and house were called together for the first time in the new building. then incomplete.
 Following the partial burning of the building by the British in 1874, Pres ident Madison was authorized to bor- row $500,000 to restore the structure This work was finished and the build ing pronounced complete in November. 1917. Ten years later the building was again completed" by the addi- tion of rotunda and dome.
 Thomas U. Walter became connected with the structure in 1851 and de- signed the wings, the construction of which was inaugurated on the Fourth of July of that year. The addition of the wings made new and larger dome necessary, and this was begun in 1855, and ten years later the building stood completed" again
 There were many long and heated debates over the additions, which were begun in 1851, and Jefferson Davis prominently participated in the sen ate. He was in favor of the exten- sions and a capitol building com mensurate with the growth of the country. During one speech he made the significant remark that If this union stands the country would need

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's s
 Kidney Pills.

Sedgwick, Ark, July I-The case of w. S. lay lor's little son is looked upon by those interested in medical matters as one of the most wonderful on record. In this connec- tion his father makes the following state ment:
 Last September, my little boy had Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen to such an extent that he could not walk nor put his shoes on. The reatment that the doctors were giving him seemed to do him no good and two or three people said his days were short, even the doctors, two of the best in the country told me he would not get better. l stopped their medicine and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills. gave him three Pills day, one morning, noon and night for eight days; at the end of the eighth day the swelling was all gone, but to give the medicine justice, gave him eleven more Pills. l used thirty-fve Pills in all and he was entirely cured. I consider your medicine saved my child life. When the thrty-five Pills were given him. he could run, dance and sing, whereas before he was an invalid in his mothers arms from morning until night"

THE CAPITOL WHEN FIRST OCCU
 PIED.

even a greater building than was con templated.
 In the opinion or Mir Walter, the architect, there still remained neces- sary enlargements of the center of tha structure to match the senate and house wings and maintain the classic proportions of the edifice Since then many changes have taken place in the interior. The terraces on the west were completed. so that the harmony was maintained, even though the cen ter was not built out. This is now to be accomplished on the east front, ac- cording to the plans adopted by the commission, if congress approves, and again the national capital will be con sidered a completed structure.
 MT Walter died in 1882, but he had left his plans for capitol extension in detail. and the work of the pew con struction will be carried out faithfully according to his artistic ideas.

An excellent way to utilize a las years lace collar tthe collar which came about to the shoulder-seam) is to use it as a trimming for one of your sum- mery hats. says Woman's Home Con- panion.

Place on the frame allowiis, about lis inches to hang over. Tack securely but loosely. Join the back as invisibly as possible. Surround the crown with a wreath of roses. forset-me-nots or any flower preferred. which will add width to the crown. Arrange the wreath so as to allow spray of leaves to droop a tritie over the back of the. hat. to con- ceal the joining of the collar.
 Any of the soft sash-ribbons which are so charming this season will make very dainty crown for a hat. The pompadour ribbons scattered with flowers are the prettiest for this pur- pose. The crown may be in the form of a -shanter or the ribbon may be put over a rather high-frame crown and shirred trifie al the top. The brim may be of lace or of tulle or chiffon matching the color of the flower seen in the ribbon.
