Girl That Blooms I'm the Spring

Flower hats are much liked, but the
good ones come high. We saw a beau
tiful one the other day made entirely of
white lilacs. 1t looks now as though
white hats were again to be the thing
for dressy wear. though many beau
tiful costume hats are shown. The
queer little round ones worn over the
face and with a lot of trimming
punched at the back will be popular
for street wear.
Pongee gowns are growing in popu-
larity; the coming season will be q
are admirable warm weather fabrics.
White cream pongees are selling for
waists, and of these very lovely and
at the same time serviceable waists
are built up There is no more becon.-
ing white material, and none that
wears better.
Ruches of silk baby-ribbon come in
different colors and are very pretty,
but not SO dainty as the white or
cream ruche. A very dainty one OF
the latter sort we noticed the other
day, one that could be made at home
easily and for a farthing Make a
double rufle of finest, softest null,
the usual width Of the ruche sold in
the stores, sew into band, wear at
both neck and wrist. This is becom-
ing to young and old alike.

"AUTOS" IN ASTRONOMY.
Motor-Cars Fitted Up with Accessories
for Taking Observations of
New Stars.

In an article in La Nature, NJ
Touchet tells us that automobiles are
now being used by astronomers, and
he speaks of the new vehicles as s'au-
tomobile observatories. 1t appears
that they are being fitted up with
all the accessories necessary for
astronomers who wish to make a spe-
cial study of shooting stars.
Balloons have been tried for the OBJ
servation of these stars, but the results
obtained are not satisfactory, and it is
believed that the automobiles are des-
tined to render great services.
In 1903 experiments We're made by
French astronomers who wished to
study the Leonides. NM. Maurice Far
man and H. Chretien went by auto
mobile to Anthon-la-Plaine, leaving M.
Touchet in the observatory at Chsy-
reuse. Since then great improvements
have been made in the vehicles them
selves and in the means of transport
ing the accessories.

TRADE AND TRAFFIC.

Canada and Mexico have agreed to
pay yearly subsidy of 10000 for
the establishment of direct steam
communication between the two coun-
tires.
Returns of the trade between
France and italy in 1904 show that
France received from Italy merchan-
disc amounting to $50, 390, 600, and ex-
ported to Italy value OF s31, $4,000.
In 1903 the enormous amount of H.
100000 bushels of American and Cana
dian apples were sold in the English
market, and from present appearances
that record will be nearly, if not quite,
equaled from the crop of 1904.
Enormous shipments of produce
from Portland reflect the vast differ
ence between modern and old times.
One ship has just sailed from Portland
for Liverpool carrying SO carloads of
western provisions, $4,000 bushels of
wheat and SO carloads of other prod
uce, including five carloads of cheese,
and several carloads of peas and pa
per.

plants and animals in the United
States amounts to $4000,00 ZOO an
nually. Experiments in breeding
plants. in breeding and feeding ami
mails, in dairying, in the general man
agement of farms, in better cultiva-
tion of crops and in combating the
enemies of plants and animals prove
that 90 per cent, or 100000 900, can
be added to the country's annual farm
product at a cost of one per cent, or
slightly more, of such increase. This
has been done in millions of acres in
the northwestern states. 1T has been
clearly proven to be a business in
which one dollar will produce one hun
dred dollars This is the conserva-
tive statement of DR.. w. NJ Hays, of
the Minnesota Agricultural college On
the farm as in every other branch Of
industry science is justified by practi-
cal results.

Faded shades are approved by the
Partisan, the pastel-grays, old-ros,e.
pastel-blue, pale mauve leading in IA
vor. They often are more becoming than
the vivid tones. A coral red is trying
to make Roadway, and has been adopt
ed by not a few.
The stout woman will retain the
plain gored skirt, fitting closely about
the hips, but effort is being made to
introduce for the slender woman the
skirt that has fullneSS at the waist line.
So far the effort has not met with
much success. but it will not be long,
we think, ere there will be a decided
return to gathers that ripple from the
belt. FullnesS at the bottom, great
deal of it, is seen on all skirts of the
day; it takes yards and yards of ma
terial now that voluminous petticoats
and big sleeves reign.
The rage for the old-fashioned af-
fects things generally; jewelry set in
a fiat manner is worn by those that
can get hold of the truly old; velvet
bands with jeweled buckles are worn
on the wrists, and the elbowsleeve OF
the day calls for a return of the brace
let. Just one bracelet is seen, and it
may be of any style, any period. Gar
net. Jewel beloved of our grandmoth-
ers, is in high esteem; we noticed a
very beautiful necklace recently OF
garnet beads having for pendant a
cross of garnets. Ransack old bCHes
and drawers and see if you have not
something to bring forth for this old
time loan exhibition.
The bolero coat is very much to thA
fore. One sees it in cloth, silk and lace. 1t
is to be worn not only as dressy adj
dition to a costume, but as a spring
and summer wrap. We do not re-
member ever before having noticed
such a variety of bolero designs.
Covert coats are lined nowadays, and
so made that glimpses of the lining
are displayed.
Linen is to be immensely popular,
and many accessories are made OF
this material we once never should
have dreamed of using. Linen CIR
dies abound in show windows, and
promise to be feature of summer
dress AS a rule they are emf
broidered. Waists of handkerchief
linen are to be had-if one has enough
money.

don. We usually modify the French
dress.
The designs here shown are not eX-
IRENE, but are distinctively Partisan.
The tailor gown is of reseda cloth,
and trimmed with stitchings of dark
er green. The vest of the soft pale
green silk fastens with small steel
buttons; the collars and cuffs are Of
black taffeta and this touch of black,
giving character to the costume, is j
French touch. The black has the long
plated amazone basque and bretelles
of stitched cloth extend OTer the shout
der and taper to the waist. For
summer wear, vests, collar and cuffs
may be one of the coarse embroidered
linens which are to be used a great
deal the coming season for tLfs pur-
pose.
The dressier toilet is a soft cloth of
pastel gray. The full corsage is of
gray taffeta, the high corselet of the
cloth trimmed with gray silk "galon. +"
The gallon trims the front panel of
CnG Sk1fL, anu UOIuSIS lie UcI1u VI
taffeta near the bottom of the skirt.
Note the hats worn with these cos
tunes; the soft slouching one with
the tailor suit whose trimming is a
soft draped ribbon about the band,
with, at one side well toward the front,
a great rose made of ribbon. The
other hat is the much dented sort,
worn low and trimmed at the back
with fluffy tips
Ribbon is now having great vogue,
and the trimming employed on the hat
with the tailor suit is a prime favorite,
the single large rose made of shaded
ribbon Shaded ribbons, as well as
shaded silk gowns, are to be affected
by well-dressed women this year.
Mark we'll the sleeves of the after
noon toilet; the fashionable pulled
elbow sleeve, the undersleeve of white
sheer material, gathered at the hand
into a pretty frill and bound there
with a band of velvet the shade of
the trimming.

cities and her problem of hapless, power
| ty-stricken rusticS; the one way to avert
threatening weakness. Mr.. Haggard be-
lieves most earnestly in the value of
country life. in it's benefcent influence.
He says: 81 am convinced-and this IS
a very most important national aspect OF
the question-that most OF our reverses
during the recent war were due to the
pitting of town-bred bodies and intelll-
gences, both of officers and men, against
| country-bred bodies and intelllgences.
We laugh at the Boer for his rude man
ners and his rusticity, but therein lies
| a strength which, if he and his people
are wise, they will not exchange Tor all
the gold and gems of Africa and all the
most exquisite refinements OF Europe.
If they resist those temptations, IL they
continue to be content to live roughly
upon their farms and produce as many
children as nature gives them, then |
am sure-unless we British change our
ways-that whatever flag flies over it, its
inhabitants of Dutch blood will in fact
rule South Africa"
But Mr.. Haggard pleads with equal
| earnestness for the side OF the question
dealing with the present miseries OF pow
erty that cry for reform. Now the
road to happiness for millions of people
in the English speaking world to-day
leads away rather than TO oYer-c-oWded
cities. 1t leads over the hills and into
the country, where there is real money
to be found in the soil-the real estate,
SO to say. London and New York are as
CUPS full of tears and bitterness for
thousands of people who would be hap
pier and better citizens were they in the
country, tilling their own land in their
own Canaan"
To many of us it has come as matter
of surprise that Rider Haggard, creator
of "She," spinner of stories of fanciful-
ness and wild improbability, should now
be dealing with the hard facts and real
tiles of life. But across the water the
story-teller for some time past has been
looked upon as politician and soc1olo-
gist; we are little slow in learning OF
the new Mr.. Haggard.
Mr.. Haggard has written volume upon
volume of pure fiction-24 volumes in 20
vears-but he looks upon all this story
writing as play compared with his books
on sociological questions. 1t was his
work, Rural England book of some
1 200 pages, and certain letters to Lon
don papers, that established Mr.. Hag-
CARDS reputation as an authority on
conditions in the country districts OF
England. He has well earned consider
alton for work of very opposite char
acter frcm "She."
1t was IN 1901 Mr.. Haggard began the
difficult task of exploring England coun-
ty by county, collecting data for Rural
England first hand. 1T meant eight
months of constant travel, in sickness
and in health, in all weathers, by rail, by
horse, by motor car, by bicycle, and on
foot. It meant the interviewing of hun
dreds of landowners, tenant farmers,
agents, clergymen, doctors, small hold
ers and laborers Of every dialect,
opinion, and shade Of intelligence. 1t
meant the weighing of mass Of evil
dence, the sitting out of the true from
the false, the weighty from the trivial"

many poorly fashioned. The hat.
while very important portion of the
toilet, does not demand always such an
expert manipulation as the gown, and a
head adornment that is very satisfac-
tory can be picked up at the less ex-
pensive places.
Green is the color of the season;
there are numerous beautiful shades to
choose from. Hats are small and
much dented, pinched at this point and
that to suit the wearer. Ruches are
worn with almost all styles of neck
wear, very Clearly and admirable
fashion. Petticoats of silk match the
trimming on nat or gown, very
pretty way of emphasizing the color
scheme.

it was easy and natural enough for me
to weave my yarns about it.
Mr.. Haggard seems himself to take
his fiction writing not very seriously,
acknowledges he finds story spinning
quite an easy matter; undoubtedly he
regards his labors in this line much less
seriously than do many English critics
that deride him, who call his products
penny dreadfuls, and penny dreadfuls
written in very bad English. Quantity
rather than quality, of truth does
mark the output. To this Mr.. Haggard
is able to make reply, yes, but the books
attract an enormous public. Millions or
,, copies of the Haggard tales have been
sold since Dawn" started the process1on.
The first marked success was king
Solomons Mines" When "She" APP
peared. it sold fast and furious; and
fast and furious gathered the attack OF
The critics. They affirmed the English
was as bad as ever that plot and descrip-
ton were plagiarized. 1t is amusing to
read over the heated words that filed the
English reviews after She came be-
fore the public. The plagiarism accusa-
ton Andrew Lang answered with eff
fective gentle sarcasm which should
have made the accusers squirm uncom-
fortably. The critics made complaint
that the idea of person living thou
sands of years was as old as the hills,
that "She" was but revived Wander
ing Jew. The unknowing public, how
ever, accepted the revival eagerly; tho
coI uac int a IN
with small result on the orders for cop
les.
TO us it seems that it was the setting
of the mysterious land of Africa that
made largely for the popularity Of the
Haggard stories. The world was just
awakening to knowledge of this great
land, and the African color Of the tales,
the stories of veldt and Boer and dia-
mond and gold mines, came at just the
right moment to touch popular interest.
And, too, Mr.. Haggard's frank dealing
with the improbable, may have come at
just the right moment, too, when the
world was beginning to yawn over the
adyentureless chapters of the realist
folk.
If Mr.. Haggard did not tell his stories
in purest English he knew by heart the
country of which he wrote, was able to
bring before his readers vivid picture
of the surroundings amid which the
characters fought and loved and died.
And 10 less a parsonage than Andrew
Lang bears this witness of Mr.. Haggard's
powers as a story teller: There is un-
doubtedly too much Of the sanguinary
in Mr.. Haggard's tales, but he can de-
scribe a splendid fight splendidly. And
he is popular because men and boys love
good fight, not because we (the Eng
lish) are a degraded set Of people that
revel in horror for its own sake.
AS Mr.. Haggard naively remarks, So
Geological inquiry requires money, and
he keeps on turning out fiction. A new
novel from his hand is soon to appear,
and he is working on sequel to "She."

Digs Up a Gainsborough.

Milwaukee-Whati is pronounced by
New York connoisseur TO be genuine
Gainsborough picture is in possession of
a Milwaukeean. If it is an original the
picture for which j. Pierpont Morgan
paid fancy price must be duplicate.
The old canvas has history. 1t is por-
trait of King Louis XVI of France,
which may turn out a second duchess OF
Devonshire sensation. Evidently it
was painted about the same period as
the famous picture bought by Mr.. Nor
gan. The artists name was worn away
by time and stress.

1t has been very difficult for Mr.. Hag-
gard to get away from his Frankenstein
If we may speak of "She" as a femi-
nine monster, when he began TO write
in behalf of the rural poor when as
candidate of the conservative and liber-
al unionist electors of East Norfolk he
used in his addresses strong language,
he brought about his head a perfect
storm of abuse. What did the author of
''She" know of government problems, OF
practicable reforms? 1t was no easy
matter for Mr.. Haggard to live down
that early creation of his imagination.
and to-day revilers are wont to advise
him to stick to his writing trade when he
brings forward some new plea for agri-
cultural reforms.
To New York interviewer Mr. Hag-
gard recently told how he was led to be-
gin story writing. Il had during a resi-
dence of some years in South Africa
written a sort of political history, when
one day in London, while discussing the
merits and dement's of a current novel,
an acquaintance badgered me about not
being able to write as readable novel
as the one which we were discussing.
" ELL to make a long story short | set
to work and wrote Dawn" which, much
to my surprise, enjoyed a considerable
sale. OF course, at that time South and
central Agrica was land of UNEMPLOYED
mysteries, and as such appealed to me as
a background and scene for fiction writ
ing. With my knowledge of the coun-
try, acquired in years of residence there,

DR.. Whiting Is Dead.

Janesville.-Dr. J. B. Whiting died
here after an illness of several weeks
soon after the death of his son. General
debilitT from old age was the immediate
cause for dissolution. He was one Of
the best known physicians and surgeons
in the United States; and was once sur.
geon general of the G. A. r. Dr. Whit
ing, after the organization OF the Thir-
became surgeon in charge. and served
before Vichsburg, where he was in
