 A BOSTON COMMENT-The Bos- ton Globe says: President Roosevelt nas asked a supreme court justice Of Arizona to resign, one of the charges against the judge being that he put his feet up on the bench. Is no respect to be paid to local traditions? They'll be asking judges not to spit at fly next.

 HIS HALLUcINATIO Roehm was in probate court yesterday on q charge of insanity. The complaint against him was made by one Of his friends. Roehm is a gambler and is addicted to the use of morphine and liquor For sometime he has hArbored a suspicion that people were writing notes to his wife and he was threaten ing homicide.

It will be remembered that this work was undertaken recently, but the bids rejected by reason of their beng con- sidered too high. An effort is being
 
 required wherever it can possibly be done to encourage lower bidding next time.
 ETBOOKS-The men in this town must have all the money they want or else they are more honest than they have heretofore been credited with being.

Sunday night a young man found another pOcketboOk on the city hall steps after the band concert. It contained a few pennies and is supposed to belong to a child. It is also unclaimed at the marshaIs s office.

Rider haddaHd.

Rider Haggard. the author of The
Brethren" and a marvellous list Of AZ
rican tales, is much more than a writer
Of stories, though the world has known
him for the last dozen years only AZ
such. Back in the seventies he was .
big man in South Africa-master Of
the High Court Of the Transvaal and
the man who, with Colonel Brooke.
hoisted the British nag over the South
African Republic. He was a mighty
hunter in his South African days and
many OF the shooting adventures SO
excitingiy set out in his novels are
written directly from actual happen
ings. 1t was in the eighties and nine
ties that he began to produce his fam
GUS novels. In 1901 he took up his in
vestigation Of the condition of asri-
culture in England and is now noted
for his tireless work In the best inter
ests Of the British farmer.

stovepIpe Ventilation.

A means OF making use of the stove
pipe as a ventilating system has been
made the subject of a recent patent.
This is primarily designed for gas
stoves, from which there is generally
some disagreeable odor. and for coal
stoves used in sleeping rooms and liv-
ing rooms. which means of heating
is always open to the danger that the
draughts, failing to work properly.
will send out an overwhelming blast
of gas, which under some conditions
means death to the occupants of the
room.
In order to make use of this appa-
ratus. a hole is cut in the lower part
of the stovepipe near the point where
it enters the wall. and over this a fun
nel-shaped pendant is placed. its bot
tom being several inches below the
lower edge Of the pipe. This appara-
tus is designed for ready adjustment
TO the pipe 1t consists OF three pieces
of metal. the funnel. circular disk
fastened to the small end by which
the thing is fitted closely to the pipe.

How to Water FIower, 70.

The most particular thing in the
house culture of plants is the water
ing. So many people think they are
doing their duty IL they give their
plants little water every day. This
is altogether wrong. When you find
your plants dry they need water
This can be easily learned by tapping
the pot with the knuckles and getting
ringing sound from dryness and a
dead sound when 1t is wet enough, or
by rubbing the soil on the top of the
pot with the finger; IL 1t feels moist
and sticfs to the finger. 1t Is wet
enough, but II 1t feels dry and slightly
dirty, 1t wants water. Water 1t well.
and be sure the water has gone

go to the bottom. the roots are drawn
to the top for drink instead Of going

as 1t will in most instances induce
decay of the roots, which will be
fatal to the plants.-Montreal Her.

Train on Rollers.

A party of directors and experts
yesterday. says the London News.
travelled from London bridge to the
Crystal Palace in a train fitted with
roller bearings.
The Brighton company have expert.
mented for six years with roller bear
ings, with satisfactory results, but ow-
ing to the high cost their extended
use was impossible. The latter de-
signs. while equally efficient, were re-
duced in price. and were tried on fast
trains between London and Brighton
for two years. during which time 80,
600 miles, or about three times the
earth's circumference, were covered.
Now the company run two trains un-
der similar conditions, one fitted in
the usual way. and the other equipped
with Empire roller bearings in order
to test the claim to saving of ter
pounds OF coal per mile, and to an &C.
celeration Of the trains. due to the
great reduction in starting effort.

Greater Flow for Niaaar..

To rebuild Niagara Falls and thus
to harness the power is the burden of
a unique scheme that HES from Can
ada. 1t has for its foundation the
turning back of the waters of the
Chippewa river, making its present
source its mouth. and its outlet into
Lake Erie instead of into the Mag
ara river as nature arranged. Be-
tween the present headwaters OF the
Chippewa, which. under the contem-
plated transformation, would become
its mouth. and the headwaters of the
stream which would CARRY their COM
bined volume to Lake Ontario is a
stretch of several miles. This would
have to be excavated, which those
who are promoting the project hold
would not be task either difhcult or
expensive. They say. in fact. that
their whole undertaking will be easy
from an engineering viewpoint. With
the course of the Chipoewa reversed
advantage can be taken for power
purposes of the 300 feet drop between
the level of the Niagara river, above
the falls, and the level of Lake On
talio.

Late veaues in Laees.

There is the splendidly snowy Point
de Flanders which wears forever and
can be patched and darned afterward
with bits Of finer lace. And there is
the heavy Irish crochet which can al
ways be reclaimed by stitch or two
of crochet work.
There are hundreds Of imitation
laces which are very nice. indeed. both
for trimmings and for making up the
vest and smaller parts of the gown.
A great many laces are applied in
long panelesque fashion and. for this
purpose. the strong heavy laces are
used. And. then, along each side of
the lace panel there is an opportunity
for some very fine handwork. One
lace panel was bordered with embroid-
cred daisies in the middle Of which
was set q little rhinestone. Another
lace panel was bordered with roses
upon the petals of which there were
fastened the smallest seed pearls, tus.
enough to look like drops of dew.

For hand plow nothing is better
than the simple one made in the fol-

free from knots, each three feet long
and six inches wide. Bevel the end
of each board and nail them together
In the form of v. II necessary they

shoe. $500 Each, the Latest.

Probably the most remarkable shoes
ever produced within recent times
were those worn at function in Lon.
don the other day by lady well
known in society. In keeping with q
gorgeous gown, which is said to have
cost fabulous sum, she wore a pair
Of shoes that were literally covered
with flashing jewels-diamonds, ru-
bies and pearls. The style Of decora-
ton was Of a remarkably striking
character. Five hundred dollars was
the price of each. shoe.
Such decoration Of shoes Is a return
to the fashion of the Middle Ages,
when extravaganza and gaudy display
were the chief characteristics per-
tanning to footwear, in common with
other things.

ahaded Plumes Pretty.

The vogue Of the ombre or shaded
colorings is one that increases as the
season reaches its height, and is pref
tily exemplified in this hat Of shaded
browns in velvet and chenille, trimmed
with a long full plume showing the
raspberry tints running into white.
The crown is high. the brim SO wired
that 1t may be bent to the most becom-
ing curve. and a bandeau tucked into
the headsize at the left side. to give a
becoming tilt to the shape. Shaded
brown velvet roses cover the bandeau,
and an applique of ecru Irish croch het
lies fat on the edge OF the brim.

Many of the gowns are built along

Is in reds and browns, bronzes and

behold.
She dresses In etamine and heavy
canvas, the new woman In brown, and
she selects the glossy face cloth which
looks like brown satin and the wonder
full novelty brown goods. woolen and
soft and easily draped.
Then one sees the woman Of brown
in camel's hair with the long hairs
very visible on the surface, and in the
camel's hair there are stripes, and
spots and shot portions to give 1t a
contrast. And one also sees the cam

and shiny, and the camel's hair which
has smooth spots of woolen and nov

new varieties this season, just as
there are In etamines and brown
