To return to the trousseau, let us
take the gowns first. though they are
not the most important. They are,
rather, the most conspicuous.
A summer bride should, IL possible,
be married in white, and in white at
tire there is great variety OF fabrics
from which to choose. A bride looks
as lovely in white muslin, white wool
or white net, as in brocade, silk or
satin, and her white wedding gown, of
whatever material il be fashioned, will
furnish her prettiest evening dress for
any occasion which may arise during
the next year or two.

she chooses. II she does choose, 1t
may be of inexpensive net, and will
then be as becoming as IL it were point
lace Bridal wells are heirlooms In
some families. A girl likes to be mar
ried in a veil that her mother and her
grandmother wore on their respective
wedding days. Wells are, however, not
In themselves especially attractive ad-
juncts. A girl usually looks prettier
without one
Some brides prefer to be married in
what is now called the going away
gown. We used to call 1t the travel
ing dress. When this is chosen, the
bride who, like Polly, must study econ
omy will select a soft gray or brown
stun, which will serve later for church
or visiting, or an afternoon reception.
1t must include a skirt. jacket and
waist should be tailor-made and very
smart in every detail. To relieve and
save this costume, short black Walk

or covert cloth are desirable for second

As the East Indian Sees 1t.

A native of India who lost large
amount Of money through the in.
solvency of an English merchant ex.
planned the English Insolvency laws as
follows: I'm Burma the white man
who wants to become insolvent goes
into business and gets lots of goods
and does not pay for them. He then
gets all the money be can together
say, 10000 rupees Ga rupee is So cents
and puts all of it except 100 rupees
away where no one can find it. With
the 100 rupees he goes to Il judge of
the court and tells him he wants to be-
come bankrupt. The judge then calls
all the lawyers together, likewise all
the men to whom the white man owes
money, and says, This man is insolv-
ent, but he wishes to give you all that
he has got, so he has asked me to d.
vide this 100 rupees among YOU all
The judge thereupon gives the lawyers
30 rupees and the remaining 10 rupees
to the other men. Then the insolvent

writing with MIX.

In the course of a trial in France a
letter was read from n man named
Turpin, a chemist, under sentence of
five years Imprisonment as a SPY. Civ
ing directions TO friend, with view
TO establishing secret correspondence
with him while in prison. This led to
an official inquiry on the subject by
the French authorities, and some
strange revelations We're obtained
from some of the convicts.
1t appears that when information
has to be conveyed to a prisoner a
formal letter, containing apparently
nothing but few trivial facts of a
personal nature, is forwarded to the
prison. This is read by the governor,
who stamps it and allows it to be
handed to the man to whom it is adj
dressed. The latter is aware, how
ever, that there is another letter to be
read within the lines, this being writ

1t was ii 1917, when the Free Soil
state convention was held at Herki-
mer. There was great gathering Of
Free Soil Democrats and abolitionists.
In the ballroom of the hotel-it was
called tavern in those days-before
the opening of the convention were
gathered the leaders, who were CON
structing the new party platform, slat-
ing the officers and committees and
doing other preliminary work Inc a
chair tilted against the wall was
Prince John Van Buren, running over
the manuscript of the great speech he
was to deliver. Occasionally he arrest
ed the work of his associates with an
invitation to listen to a paragraph
which he considered especially good.
His readings each time produced laugh
ter and applause. Finally he read a
passage which excited shouts of laugh
ter and applause. When this had died
away somebody said, John, you ought
to have that part printed in italics"
Prince John affected surprise at the
suggestion. Gentlemen" he said, 81
want you to understand that this
speech is all italics."

and wonderful aspects and is subject
of absorbing interest to those of scien-
tific tastes.
This event is considered to be of so
much Importance by the government
of the United States that it has dis
patched to the Mediterranean a squad
ron of war vessels under command of
Rear Admiral G.. NJ Chester with
party of scientists, some of them men,
bers of the scientific staff of the United
States naval observatory and others
professors in colleges and men of sci
entific attachments who are associated
with various branches of the federal
government. For two years past the
staff of the naval observatory has been
getting ready for this event, and many
elaborate instruments have been pre-
pared especially for use in connection
with it. Camps for observation of the
eclipse have been established ere this
in Spain and Algeria. Besides this ex-
petition several others have been sent
out The Lick observatory of Califor-
mia dispatched three-one to Labrador,
one to northern Spain and one to AS
souan. Egypt Expeditions of lesser
Importance will represent some other
institutions in places where good views
of the eclipse may be had.
Residents of the United States can
view the partial eclipse by getting up
in good season on Aug. 30. In the
western part of the United States it
will be seen at sunrise and in the east
ern portion shortly after sunrise. For
instance, in New York the sun will
rise on that morning ut 5:24 and the
eclipse will be visible from 1852 to
1870.
The shadow cone Of the moon cast
by the sun on the day of the eclipse
will first strike the earth in the neigh
borhood of Winnipeg, Man. The sun
will there be black globe. Then
this great shadow, over 100 miles in
width, will begin a rush over conti-
nents and oceans. 1t will cross Hud-
sons bay, very soon after will be on
the coast of Labrador and then will
commence the journey across the At
lantic. Passengers on steamships in
the track of the eclipse will enjoy q
rare spectacle Day will be turned
into night; the CLEANS of light around
the suns rim. known as the corona,
will be seen and perhaps reflected in
the ocean. When the sun IS high in
the heavens the shadow will enter Eu-
rope near Cape Finistere. Across
Spain to the Mediterranean it will fly
and then across Tunis, Algeria, Egypt
and the Red sea, ending its course in
Arabia Just two hours and forty-six
minutes after beginning its journey in
Canada.

An American lady who resided for
some years in Mexico has tale to tell
of her first encounter with an earth
quake.
She is the mother of two lively small
sons. One day they had been espe-
cially obstreperous and did not grow
quieter as the time for her siesta
and theirs approached. After rousing
her from her nap two or three times
by their antics she gave them fair
warning that If there was any further
commotion severe punishment would
result
Again she dropped off into sleep.
Suddenly she found herself awake
and OH her feet, with banging sounds
still In her ears and the room quiv-
ering as from the fall of heavy piece
of furniture The boys, scared and
guilty looking, were in the doorway.
She seized the nearest, reversed him
and had him half spanked before the
excited protests of his brother pene-
trated to her brain through his an
guished bowls. Then she became aware
that she was spanking him for an
earthquake.
Apologies were duly offered, and the
injured one was comforted with candy
and caresses, but earthquakes are more
than usually unpopular in that family.

IT. ID eclipse of the sun on Aug. 80
81 is subject of much interest
- among astronomers, and scien-
tihc expeditions have gone to
those portions of the earth where the
phenomenon can be observed to the
best advantage. Although it is of
chief interest to astronomers. the gem
eral public will give some attention to
the event and will watch to see how
the sun looks OH the morning of Aug.
80. Telescopes will be pointed Mt the
orb of day on that morning from MANY
points ON the globe, but chiefly from
northern Canada. Spain, Tunis, Egypt
and Persia. In these countries the face
of the sun will be totally obscured bv
the shadow of the moon. In the Unit
ed States only the partial eclipse will
be visible Astronomers expect to be
able to make good observations in the
north Of Spain, as prospects for clear
weather viii be good ana the totality
of the eclipse will occur there at noon.
Complete extinction of the sun is nee
esSary for the observations which sci
entists desire to make, and so they go
where they get directly in the path of
the shadow The shadow track is an
proXimately 100 miles wide, but to-
ward each end of the track the dura-
ton of the totality diminiShes, so that
it is best to get as near the center as
possible
The total eclipse will last but little
over three minutes, and the scientific
men will have to work fast in making
their observations, taking their photo
graphs. etc. These observations will
be directed chiefly to two ends, deter
mining the nature of the suns corona
and settling the question whether there
is a planet nearer the sun than any
yet positively discovered. Certain
peculiarities in the orbit of Mercury
have led to the suggestion that there
is a body nearer to the sun than this
planet and that it eXerts a pull upon
Mercury Some observers of the
heavens claim to have noted such a
body. The corona of the sun can be
observed only on the occasion of an
eclipse. 1t presents many beautiful
