The road entering the city on
Twelfth street. which is Jointly con
trolled by the city and county. has
been repaired after a seige at road
making that tested the resources OF
city and county. 1t is without any
doubt the worst road entering the
city. and the most travelled. It was
washed into deep gullies and bumps,
so that it was almost impossible.
This work has been undertaken by
Commissioner Armstrong, when
much other work was pressing, be
cause it was the desire of the city
to accommodate the travel into and
from this city of the farmers of the
valley coming to the city to trade.
1t Is to be hoped that now the work
is finished it can be maintained.

A very famous cartoon appears on
the title page Of the Dry Goods Re
porter this month. 1t is a large cut
of Uncle Sam holding a book in his
hand. on one page Of the book are
the names of the states and the
amount appropriated from the ma
tional congress for public buildings
On the other page of the book are
the names of states and amounts
appropriated for public roads Af-
ter the last enumeration, there are
lines of zeros, showing that nothing
has been appropriated for roads In
the right hand portion of the pic
ture is a cut of a poor farmer floun-
dering along through roads hub
deep with mud. while in the back
ground are the faint, though dis
tinct, outlines of the rotundos of
public buildings. 1t is a most pow
erful and pointed comparison of con
ditions. The residents of the great
cities secure vast appropriations
from the national government for
public buildings which are usually
more ornamental than useful. while

portion of the taxes and would be

/. n. HUNTING, Proprietor.

The sphinx-lil1e silence of John d.
Rockefeller has been broken by the
article on that gentleman by the
great writer, Ida NJ. Tarbell. She
states that John DIS father was a
jolly old rake, and that he could
trade horse or peddle medicine
with the best fakir ever strung out
on the road. This is ghastly, when
the full import of it is realized that
the escutcheon of the Rockefellers
is being trailed in the dust by an an
cestry that did not overlook a keen
horse trade or could sell bottle of
medicine. 1t is said that the old
gentleman, the sire of all the Rock
efellers, is living now, some place in
the west.

DRESS PREscRIBED BY Law.
Strict Regulations Once in Effect in
Switzerland,

Strict Regulations Once in Effect in
Switzerland.
Switzerland had law that no we'd
ding party should have more than 20
guests-ten men friends of the bride
groom and ten women friends of the
BRIDE No wedding procession was
permitted to have more than two sing
ers, two fidd1ers and two trumpeters
Married women were forbidden to
wear silk or decorated hoods, though
maidens might. No woman, whether
married or unmarried, was allowed to
wear any dress in which the opening
for the neck was so large that it did
not lie at least two inches wide upon
the shoulders and the gown must not
be buttOned or laced up in front or at
the side. To restrain the fashion of
long-pointed shoes it was enacted that
no person of either sex should wear
shoe with point extending beyond
the foot enough to allow anything to
be inserted in it, nor was any woman
or girl permitted to wear laced shoes.
No man or boy should wear coat that
did not reach to the knee. Garments
were forbidden to be slashed so as to
show different colors or kinds of ma
terlal, and trousers were required to
be made without stripes and both legs
of the same color. In 1470 one Swiss
canton in council assembled enacted
that hereafter no one shall make
points of shoes or boots longer than
one joint of the finger and if any shoe
maker shall make them longer he shall
be fined 91, as also the person wear
ing them.

Color Scheme in Costumes.

In the very sheer embroidered lin
ems the pale blues and pinks, the
grays and the light tans are very smart
and the embroidery is, of course, of
the finest. Among these gowns are
ranked those made of batiste. Con-
servative people are not, however,
very much in favor of the colored lin
ems. They should be included in any
complete wardrobe, as they are ex-
quisite in coloring and texture; but it
is claimed that all the color that is ne
cessary can easily be obtained in the
Innings of different colors over which
white can be worn, or in the colored
girdles and sashes that are a very
necessary part of the finish of any eff
fective gown this summer. The prin-
cesse silk slips that are part and par
eel of every modern outfit make this
change of color feasible, and if silk
is not desired then lawn answers the
purpose equally well, so far as re-
CARDS color, and, of course, the effect
is rather lighter

Hat of Attractive DESIGN.

tan-colored hat in finest straw has
high, round crown, and wide,

roll being covered with straw-colored
velvet. The brim is indented a little

of paradise plume starts from under
this curve and floats to the back. A

How Owls CAUGHT Chickens.

When 1 was chunk of a boy shot
horned owl, the spread of whose
wings was Az feet, and to the sur
prise of the boy who had carried it for
several miles the weight was only
four pounds
They were rather numerous at that
time in that section of the country,
and were troublesome about carrying
on chickens, which mostly roasted in
apple trees about the farm buildings.
The belief that they could carry away
full grown hens was a common one
It was also commonly believed that
an owl never picked a chicken on the
roost, but, alighting on the limb,
crowded the chickens on, and as it
dew toward the ground caught it on
the wing-Forest and Stream.

BATTLE WITH TEN-FooT SHARK.
Man-Eatins Dog of Ocean Fights
Fishers on Bay.

A ten-foot man-eating shark en-
gagged in fierce battle with two Ital-
ian fishermen yesterday afternoon in
the bay, says San Francisco dis
patch. The contest lasted two hours,
and the Italians were exhausted when
the fish was vanquished. They towed
it to Meiggs' wharf, where it Is now
on exhibition.
Jose and Pietro Carniglia had their
net set OFF Angel island yesterday
morning, when they felt the boat
start. The speed increased in a rapid
rate and they realized that a shark
had become entangled in the net. They
started to haul it in, but little prog
ress could be made. Forward and
back the boat was hauled, and after
more than an hour the struggles of
the shark ceased. The net was hauled
in, but when the man-eater came to
the surface there ensued a terrific
struggle.
With oars the fishermen hammered.
the head of the shark. At times the
tiger of the sea leaped from the water
and threw itself against the boat. The
side of the boat was partly crushed
and the water started to flow in.
Finally the shark ceased to struggle.

For Early Fall Topcoat.

For the tailor-made coat the moder-
ately full coat sleeves. rather high and
square at the shoulder, but not empha-
sizing these lines to an exaggerated
degree, and the modified gigot quite
full at top and rather close below the
elbow, are the two models that have
the greatest vogue.
The gigot form may be secured by
the cutting of the plain sleeve, or may
be attained by laying the lower part
of the sleeves in flatly-stitched, small
vertical plaits.
There is no denying that the gigot
idea predominates in sleeve modes,
but it is modified and chastened gig
OF that we have accepted and shows
itself rather in the fact that the sleeve
is broader at the shoulder than any
point below than in exaggerated full
ness at the shoulder.

GirdIe Is Still Popular.

The prediction of the disappearance
of the high girdle has become nearly
as familiar as the one that has doomed
the bolero to extinction only to find it
shaking itself from the ashes of
feeting disfavor to assume its same
old place in the wardrobe or a still
worthier one.
The girdle, as fact, is just as much
in evidence as ever, and, with the
princess gown or it's effect waxing in
popularity, the girdle is likely to re-
main prevalent for another season at
least
1t is still, too, in the latest gowns,
as pointed as ever. The fact is that the
girdle is suited to the wearer and, any
shape which is becoming is modish.
For a slight figure there is a worth
full suggestion in the cut where the
waist is swathed with a deep, shaped
girdle, pointing low at the front and
extending half the width of the bodice
at the top, where it ends in two points.

coLLIDED WITH SEA COW.

Pleasure Party in Boat Disturbed Crea-
ture at Feeding.
Tuesday morning L. D. Pitcher and
daughter and son-inlaw, Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles S. Rieman, started in their
row and sailing boat Lulu for the inlet
with a favorable northwest wind and
were sailing along nicely, rounding
Bethune Point, mile south of town,
when there was a very sudden and
violent collision with a large sea COW,
which the boat must have struck
crosswise about in the middle.
1t was feeding on the bottom in
about five feet of water and it is need
less to say that it was probably as
much surprised as were the occu-
pants of the boat, as it made a great
commotion, lifting the front end of
the boat out of the water and throw
ing several pals of water into the
boat with it's broad fiat tail, and thor
oughly wetting the occupants, but
otherwise there was no damage done
and they were very glad that the boat
was not upset and they spilled out in
the water.
The COW is timid and harmless, but
very large and powerful. 1t seems
that point is favorite feeding ground
for them and they can be seen there
often.-Daytona Halifax Journal.

COOKING Without Fire.

In the cookery schools of Berlin,
Munich, Frankfort and other German
cities the use of the "fireless stove. %
or cooking box" is strongly recon-
mended. The apparatus consists SIM
ply of a wooden box, thickly lined
with hay or felt and fitted with a tight
cover. Nests are made in the lining.
into which pots containing food that
has first been boiled for few min
utes over fire are placed, tightly COW
cred, and the box is closed. The lin
ing retains the heat for hours, and
the food is slowly cooked, with better
results, in many cases, than can be
attained by rapid cooking on a stove.
OF course the apparatus does not an
swer for cooking steaks, chops or
cakes. which require a quick, hot fire,
but it is excellent for soups and vege-
tables.

considerably out of plumb, the floors

Potatoes a shiIIino a Pound,

the introduction of the potato into
England. For nearly a century after
ward they were only cultivated in
gardens as a curious exotic, furnish.
ing an expensive luxury for the tables
of none but the richest people in the
kingdom The plant which since that
period has been the means on more
than one occasion of saving from starv-
alton thousands of the poorest of the
poor in these islands, more especially
in Ireland, by supplying them with a
cheap and abundant article of food,
was at one time SO rare that, as ap-
pears from an account in the house

one shilling a pound.-Household

FOUND SECRET OF GREEKS.
Hungarian Professor Knows How to

Hungarian Professor Knows How to
Make Mortar ImperishabIe.
A Hungarian professor and chemist
of the Brunn university claims to have
rediscovered the secret of the ancient
Greeks by which they were able to
render mortar imperishable. The rea-
son for the remarkable preservation
and hard texture of the sealing ma
teria1 of the Acropolis at Athens,
which is as good to-day as it was
when first laid centuries ago, has
always puzzled scientists and archae-
ologists. This Hungarian some twenty
five years ago procured a piece of this
hintlike mortar and ever since has
been engaged upon ascertaining the
secret of its manufacture. He has in
vented a chemical compound, liquid in
character and yellowfsh color. The
claims of this inventor are that by the
application of this compound the den-
sity of nearly every description of
stone, including granite, is doubled.
and is rendered absolutely impervious
to water; it imparts to all metals the
power to resist rust and is a great,
powerful germicide. These properties
are not transient, but everlasting.
