A JAPANESE DESTROYER.

One OF the Fastost Of Admiral To6oAs
Fleet In Fur Esstsen Wa*ers-
One Of the latest and fastest Of Ad-
mtral Togo's torpedo boat des6oyess IS
the Shtrakumo, which was turned over
to the imperial japanese authorities
three weeks before the outbreak Of the
war, says the New York Tribune. The
Shirakumo embod3es all the latest tm-
provements In this type Of torpedo
boat
On her ttah, which were made IN
boisterous weather, the mean speed Of
the Shtrakumo amounted to S1.0S knots
on a three hour run. and for six runs
ON the measured mile mean speed Of
3o.S1o knots was registered while the
engines indicated an average Of 1,64S
horsepower. The engines are Of the
triple expansion four cylinder type
The boilers maintained steam with
ease throughout the runs, IN the course
Of which the steam pressure averaged
231 pounds to the square inch. The
engines ran at speed Of more than
400 revolutions minute and worked
with smoothness throughout the trials.
The japanese stand high on the list
Of world powers IN the matter Of tor
pedo boats and destroyers, and It is
upon this type Of craft that Admiral
Togo win depend for the destruction Of
many Of bis enemy's large but slow
moving battleships and cruisers, for ON
eighteen inch Whitehead torpedo
launched from the Shirakumo's above
or below water tubes and driven &C.
curata1y by compressed air against the
armored hull Of a Russian battleship
would tear her bottom out and send
her TO the bottom Of the sea with all
her officers and men, as was the case
In the destruction Of the Petropavlovsk
Of the Russian navy last year.

STRICTLY GENUINE.

Most of the patent medicine testimoni'
ais are probably genuine. The following
notice recently appeared in the Atchison
(Kan.) Globe: Joe Tack, well known
engineer, running on the Missouri Pacific
between Wichita and Kiowa, lately ap.-
peared in big one, with q picture, and
when he was in this Office today, we asked
him about it. He says hehad terrific pains
in his stomach, and thought he had can.
Ger. His druggist recommended Kodol
and he says it cured him. BE recommend,
ed to others, who were also cured. ."Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat and
cures all stomach troubles. Just as sure
as the sun shines your stomach can be
brought back to its originally pure condl-
ton and life sweetened by this lasting

Great Hat For Theaters,

A collapsible theater hat which may
be folded into a minute space and
when necessary will resume its former
symmetry has been invented by Lon
don milliner for the benefit Of her sex,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. The
hat which has been patented, Is made
on an ingenious frame work, which
can be covered with pliable straw,
chiffon, lace or cloth-indeed any ma
terial save velvet, which would crush
too much to be Of service. It can also
be modelled in any shape to suit any
style Of beauty.

Never Smelt Powder.

Capt. Walter Thorn, a civil war veteran,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, has declined to serve
on the staff of the grand marshal at the
grand army parade on decoration day,
May 30th, because ex Confederates have
been invited to join the parade. Capt.
Thorn refers to them as "ex-rebels," and
expresses the fear that "the unthinking
crowd will lionize them" The Newberry
Observer says the only really strange
thing about this is that the captain is
spoken of as "a civil war veteran" 1t
would be safe to bet that he was war
sutler or some sort of camp follower-not
a real soldier.

A Wonderful Saving.

The largest Methodist church in Geor.
eia, used SO gallons of L. & NJ. mixed
with "a gallons of oil, thus making paint
cost about 81 20 per gallon. They calcu-
lated to use 100 gallons of other paint.
Saved about $4,000 and also got a big
donation of L. s. NJ. Dealers gladly sell
L. & NJ, because their customers call for
it, and say they used it 1914 and even 80
years ago. Don't pay $3.50 gallon for
linseed oil, which you do in ready for use
paint. Buy oil fresh from the barrel at 60
cents per gallon, and mix it with L. g. NJ.
Paint. It makes paint cost about $1.20
per gallon. Sold by Bamberg Pharmacy.

But after It had returned two or

Perry's curiosity as to the real identity
Of the piece became thoroughly arous-
ed, and It was given a distinctive ear

times.
The fourth return suggested that the
coin was presided over by some uncan-

power Of overcoming all restraint and
returning at will to the old haunt: A
morbid fear that the visitaions boded

drew the coin back and partly to get

began giving the coin to American

Henrietta cloth and cashmere are good

Velvet, though not worn for ceremon-

Of course, the slips are expensive, but not
in comparison with complete frocks made
by the same maker; and there are innumer-
able soft clinging stufIs which, though
loosely draped, will follow the lines of the
foundations upon which they are built up.
Sometimes one slip may he made TO do
for several frocks, and by carefully ripping
such foundation and duplicating ii, line

haps approximate the effect obtained by

All of this discourse upon lininge may
sound unnecessary to some readers, who
are accustomed to consider the selection
of frock material and trimming the vital
issue in providing frocks for their daughters
or themselves; but the plainest OF frocks,
provided it is in good color and pretty ma
terial, made up upon a successful founda-
ton, will have more cachet than the most
ornate OF frocks made over an i'll fitting
lining.
The evening frock is the d6butante S
first concern, and the number Of materials
suitable for such frocks is beyond count
ing All the sheer silks and crepes are
available, but diaphanous fabrics, such rs
mousseline, chiffon, net, gauze, tulle, &c,
have first place.
The Partisan makers divide their alleg-
ance chiefly though by no means exclusively,
twixt tulle and mousseline and tulle: and
certainly nothing could be more in ac-
cordance with debutante traditions than
these two materials. Tulle is tho voc

forehead the hair follows the style for 1905.
The new fashion is extremely elaborate,
and the most expert hairdressers, working
on living models, took three-quarters of an
hour to complete the dressing of the hair.
In one Of the rooms of the hotel the new
coiffure was exhibited to group of inquisi-
tive but perplexed men. On the heads of
about dozen of the most beautiful and life
like wax models it is possible to see in
West End barber's shop the couture, most
bewitchingly arranged in varying colors,
some of which were Of a startling hue.
Their transformations" each weighing
less than half an ounce, were in some cases
drawn over the hair. The hair of one
model was Of bright scarlet color, while
the hair of another was dressed in purple
and green transformation"
I'VE do not suggest that these unnatural
colors are part Of the new coiffure, said tho
president OF the exhibition to our repre-
sentative, +but they are merely thrown out
as hint to patrons Of fancy dress balls
II is we'll known among members of the
halrdressing profession, however, that
ladies with dark purple hair have been seen
at functions in the West End, while it is a
common spectacle in Partisan circles.
The practical demonstration of the new
coifure on living models was an exciting
contest, but no prizes were offered, as the
honor of setting the fashion for 1905 is sup
posed to be above rewards of that sort.
A bevy of pretty women sat nervously ON
stools, while a number Of gallant ooifIeurs,
mostly of foreign nationality, pounced
upon the flowing tresses, and with comb
and brush built up tbs new creation with
wonderful dexterity, The contest was
witnessed by many Of Londons best har-
dressing critics.

and wreaths and sprays are chosen and
are applied in any pretty way that fancy
suggests.
The rococo ribbon embroideries are
much liked for the youthful frock, and
bow knot and other designs embroidered
in narrow gold and silver ribbons give
some excellent effects. We have in mind
one frock of white silk mousseline which
had introduced into it's trimmings scheme
oval medallons of lace laid over gold, and
at the top of each medallion was bow
and floating ends embroidered in very
narrow gold ribbon.
All that has been said Of the trimming
of tulle frocks applies equally we'll to frocks
of other sheer stuffs, but lace enters into
the trimmings of mousseline, chiffon, de-,

salf-trimmng is invariably an important
feature of the tule frock. The material
lends itself delightfully."- to little ruches and

and in some attractive models there Is
practically no other decoration than this
self-trirnming and an attractive girdle.

the material presents a happy combina-

repeated upon the bodice, while a cluster
