But civilization, dad says, has done
much for the highway robbery business,
and he says we in America have arrived
at absolute perfection. However, | was
much interested in looking over the
ground where my first heroes lived and
died. and did business, and when we
went to the prisons where they were
confined, and were shown where Ty
burn Tree stood, that SO many of them
we're hung on, tears came to my eyes
at the thought that I was on the sacred
ground where my heroes croaked, and
went to their deaths with smiles on their
faces, and polite to the last. The guard
who showed us around thought that dad
and l were relatives of the deceased
highwaymen, and when we went away
he said to dad: Call again, Mr.. Duval.
Always glad to serve any of the descend
ants of the heroes. What line of robbery
are you in, Mr.. Duval?" Dad was mad,
but he told the guard he was now on the
stock exchange, and so we maintained
the reputation of the family.
Then we hired horses and took horse
back ride through Rotten Row, where
everybody in London that has the price,
rides horse. and no carriages are al
lowed. Dad was an old cavalry man
forty years ago, and he is stuck on his
shape when he is on horse, but he came
near breaking up the horse back parade
the day we went for the ride. The liv-
eryman gave US two bob-tailed nags, a
big one for dad and a small one for me.
but they didn't have any army saddle for
dad, and he had to ride on one of these
little English saddles, such as jockeys
ride races on, and dad is so big where
he sits on saddle that you couldn't see
the saddle. and l guess they gave dad
a hurdle jumper, because when we got
right amongst the riders, men and wom-
en-. his horse began to act up, and some
one yelled, "Tally-ho," and that is
something about fox hunting, not a
coach, and the horse jumped a fence and
dad rolled off over the bowsprit and went
into a ditch of dirty water, and the horse
went off across field, and the policemen
fished dad out of the ditch. and run him
through clothes wringer or something,
and got him dried out, and sent him to
the hotel in an express wagon, and rode
my horse back to the liveryman and told
him what happened to dad, and they
locked me up in a box stall until some
body found the horse, cause they
thought dad was horse thief, and they
held me for ransom. But dad came
around before night and paid my ran
som, and we were released. Dad says

AUGUR FOR DRILLING SALT
Compressed Air Furnishes the Power
for Working the Device Which
Mines Mineral.

In Muskegon, Mich, salt is used in
large quantities, and, consequently, the
warehouses of the firms dealing in it
are capacious enough to store away
considerable supply, says Technical
World. AS is well known, salt, on &C
count of its affinity for water, is sub
stance that has tendency TO harden and
cake when piled away any length OF
time, and some of the cellars where it
is stored contain beds of it 20 feet high.
and so hard that but little impression
can be made upon them even with tho
pick or ak. For this reason somewhat
curious device has been brought intouse
to loosen the material so that it can
readily be secured. This is large boz
ing tool, or augur, which is operated by
compressed air. The augur is mounted
on a wheeled truck, which is guided by
handles projecting from the rear of the
framework. The rear end of the augur
revolyes in socket fitted into the frame
work. while the air is admitted to the
socket from the hose which supplies 1t.
When operated the boring tool is pushed
against the mass of salt and the augur
is set in motion and in a minute or two.
so rapidly does the tool work, hole
about five inches in diameter is made In
the formation the entire length of the
augur. Then another hole is drilled par
allel with the first. and another, until
the pile has been undermined. so to
speak, when its contents can easily be
broken out. The advantage OF this meth
cd is seen when it is said that two men
can get out as much salt by the power
method as two dozen men by using picks
and ShovelS.

Parma blue. Light blue always looks
well with fuffiness, but seems, a little
more commonplace than the tints men,
toned.
If one wants cool negligee that will
not have to be washed after being used
but short time, we would recommend
cambria of gray-blue or perhaps some
what darker shade. This looks pretty
and does not show the dirt quickly; it
also is generally becoming, especially If
trimmed with a touch of white. Then
there are offered cotton Examines and
other materials that come in the darker
colors; one has no call to complain OF
want of variety nowadays. Anybody
can get up a very pretty negligee, in fact
a number of them, at ridiculously low
price.

Now he has got a new idea, and that is

We do not remember a time when
coats we're so variov1 at one seaGon as
now; the long coat 10 the thing, and so
is the short one; the t;Ght-fitting is the
mode, and the loose oDs hanging in
straight lines is by no means banished;
redingotes are esteemed, equally so the
clipped-off bolero. But certain points
are adhered to; sleeves largest above the
elbow, broad but not dropping shoulders.
One OCCASIONALLY sees coats with peck
cts, and snowy lace-trimmed handker-
chief peeping from the breast pocket OF
a trim coat adds rather than detracts
from the ensemble.
If the coat pretends to fit it must fit
perfectly, have the tailored air. A num-
Der of long and three-qnarter length
coats are of the Empire style, iii about
the shoulder and hang in straight Lives
below.
Be sure and have one or more fluffy
white waists in your wardrobe and trim
it or them as daintily as possible; with
the smallest of tucks, the finest ct in
sertion, the most delicate embroidery.
The shirt-waist girl Is with us, prim
and unadorned, but still more is there
noticed of fluffy, feminine, ruffiy cos
tuning. These waists can be gotten up
at home, and even if exquisitely fine
trimmings are used need not cost for
tune They are generally becoming, a
welcome return to womanly attire away
from the stiff mannish order introduced
decade or SO ago by that tyrant the
"woman's tailor"
1t is hard to get used to the new hats
they are SO squat, so awfully old-fash-
toned, so decidedly queer. But every one
is buying them. 1t is almost certain that
we shall have to adapt the couture to
these intruders, the mOre's the pity.
Just as one gets used to doing the hair
low, along comes a crazy looking hat
and demands the half-low style of hair
dressing. One good thing, this last man
ner is almost universally becoming, can
be worn by short and tall.
The short walking skirt is noticed not
only in the mornings but also with quite
dressy jackets for afternoon wear. The
French dislike it, but it is favored by
English and Americans Everybody has

and then when one Will want TO discard
all the garments possible, and it the
cool negligee be wanting in the ward
robe one will be in sad lack indeed.
These little trifies that count for so
much at certain hot weather periods, can
really be gotten up for song; especially
if made at home. The model here shown
rs suitable for linen, cambria, many Of
the thin cottons. It is in the popular
Empire style, feature OF this particu-
lar design the gathers that at intervals
confne the fullnes and which give
more graceful appearance than the or
binary Empire, which is apt to make the
wearer look more or less shapeless.
Where skirt and waist are joined,
soft scarf, matching the embroidered
border, is folded, and is finished in
front with a rosette and long ends.
It may be comfort to the woman too
busy. or not able, to make wrapper or
dressing-sac that the shops now offer
an infinite variety of summer negligees
at very reasonable prices. While the
designs may not be just suited to indi-
vidual taste, these ready-made garments
have much style, enough mayhap to es-
cane the criticism from members of the
family that express distaste for loose ap-
parel even about the house. AS rule
they are not finished very carefully, but
that can be done by oneself at the cost
of only a fraction of time. Among those
noticed as low-priced were very pretty
colored lawns trimmed with borders in
contrasting color, or with border in
sort of Persian design.
Long. loose summer negligees come in
dotted swiss and in light-colored dimi-
ties and mulls; these are trimmed with
lace insertion and lace ruff1es, and
fasten with ribbon streamers. They are
very yoluminous. OF course these are
merely for lounging. not for practical af-
fairs. For hours of labor wrapper of
any sort is a delusion and snare any
way, short shirt-waist suit much more
suitable.
And shirt-waist suits this season are
trim and neat as primrose, woman
that has one that fits well and is a good
color may feel well dressed no matter
how simple it is. The shops show shirt
waist suits ranging in price from dollar
up to 500, suited to all purses.
In choosing the color for ones negIi-
gees one may as well be governed by
the tints in style at the moment We
would suggest for those that can we it

y ~ for afternoon and street
TX wear, is made with bolero,
waistcoat and girdle The
bolero is close-ftted, draped to outline
the figure. The waistcoat and girdle are
Of blue velvet, the collar OF white silk
trimmed with gold braid; the sleeves
puff at the top, fit closely lower down,
are of three-quarter length and end in
frill of batiste.
Another gown is of red cloth, the skirt
on the new bell-shape order, and
trimmed at the bottom with wide band.
The short jacket has two short basques
which are attached under narrow
band-like girdle. The fronts may be
turned back in revers, have facings of
white silk edged with narrow black
embroidery. The waistcoat is of black
and white checked taffeta, the collar
and cuffs are of black velvet. The black
and white tone down the color of the
cloth, give added style to very effective
toilette.
A gray costume was made with the
basque coat, which had belt OF gray
suede. and the hat worn with this was of
soft red trimmed with much ribbon of
the same shade. A very fetching cos
tune was of mauve and violet checked
wool, made with plated skirt, and a
Louis XIV. corsage trimmed with black
silk gallon. Flat braids are seen on in
Vulnerable dresses, as rule matching
the cloth in color. AS pretty gown as
we have to chronicle was made of
violet cashmere with trimmings Of
checked violet and white taffeta; the
skirt fitted smoothly over the hips, then
fell in voluminous fullness; the corsage
was on the popular Louis XIV. order. A
gray gown was relieved of colorlessness
by means of collar and cuffs Of green
taffeta.
The introduction of contrasting color
in collar and cuffs is in favor; light
gray is charming with such touch in
soft violet Another well-liked trim
ming is the addition Of velvet Frills of
batiste give daintines, and will be seen
a great deal this summer on outer
wraps.
