English Lace Industry.

From Vogue.
 unique condition exists in the Not tingham lace trade. It is so prosnerous that manufacturers are not only in ar rears with orders, but some are quoting prices to would-be purchasers which are not expected to be realized-to keep buv- CTS at bay as it were; or as one manu- facturer of nets explains, Ito protect cus- toners who have already bought Prices asked are therefore, generally speaking above real market value. The only ap- parent exceptions to these conditions are silk nets and cotton embroidery trim mings, for which the demand is languid
 The exports of lace goods for the month of May were this year the largest on re- cord, exceeding sl 500 900 In value. To the United States, however the exports in May, eo3, exceeded those of last May. but that is the only exception for a de- cade or more. The home trade is also OK ceedingly good. No change in the pros porous conditions Is in sight, and no de cline in prices this year Is probable
 The second principal industry of this district, hosiery, Is likewise very active. but not to the extent of lace Prices show a tendency to advance though somewhat unsettled, to the detriment of manufac- turers. The outlook for the entire sum mer and autumn is good.

The Illuminator.

One of the most interesting and, l dare say popular advertising mediums in Bir- mingham today is the "IluminStor, is- sued weekly by the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company.
 The "Illuminator" Is issued every Sun day morning, and is found on the street cars in specially made receptacles.
 It touches on topics of the day, has condensed time table, a theatre or amuse- ment guide. and under the heading. .Transfers to Smileville." will be found a number of brilliant witticisms well call eulated to draw a smile from the reader.
 Combined with this are few snappy and well-written advertisements that are always readable.
 Taken as a whole. the "Illuminator' is a decidedly interesting and attractive lit tie sheet.

BIG KANSAS PRODUCTS.
Cornstalk 15 Feet High-Apple That
 Weighs Pound-Great Leaf

Lawrence Correspondence Topeka Capi-
 tai.
 w. A. Lauderbach, who lives on the bottom land of Baldwin's Branch, near Lake View, went out into his cornfeld. cut the tallest stalk of corn from a hill in which there were six stalks of corn, tied it to d pole to keep it from breaking and brought it to this city for exhibition. The stalk Is 15 feet high. It bears but one ear, there having been too many stalks to the hill to make heavier bearing possible. That one ear is 15 inches long, and 1t Is just feet from the ground to the bottom of the ear. Think of having to use a nine-foot ladder to gather the corn this year
 c. P Miller of Lone Star brought in five apples, the largest of which weighed over one pound. The total weight of the five was nearly five pounds. MT. Miller did not know the variety of the fruit. They are the largest homegrown apples shown in Lawrence this summer
 MT. Miller has a tree ten years old load ed with two or three bushels of this fruit He says the tree began bearing at two years old, and the fruit was very large from the first. It has borne so much fruit it has never grown very large.
 What Is probably the largest leaf ever grown on any plant in Kansas is now growing on the lawn of the Lutheran par sonage of this town. It Is the leaf of a Caladium elephanta, or elephant ear, and the Rev. E. b. Stauffer raised the plant with an eye to having the largest possi- hle leaves. He gives the fonowing de- scription of the plant:
 Largest leaf, feet 8 inches long, feet inch wide and Il feet inches In cir conference. It has three of these large leaves and two that are a trihe smaller A. new leaf Is coming out which will be the largest yet. The plant stock Just above the ground measures Is inches ir circumference.

A Contemplated Summer Resort.

By the first of June, 1907, there will be on Shades mountain an ideal summer re- sort known as Mountain Flow Springs"
 The idea is being fostered and promoted by the Webb Real Estate company of this city.
 The property will be converted into beautiful park comprising about 450 acres. and the springs from which the name of the park is derived, will be in the center of the grounds.
 The work of cutting the streets Is rap idly nearing completion and such inn provements as are deemed necessary by the company will be rapidly pushed ahead
 It is the intention of the company to place on sale about sixty good-sized lots, which are to be sold at remarkably req sonable prices.
 Shades mountain has long been known as a decidedly healthy spot-healthful by reason of the altitude, which at the springs is 9S5 feet above sea level.
 Being in close proximity to Brming ham. there seems to be no reason, all things being equal why this park should not be one of the coming residential sec tions of our rapidly growing city.

About the New Colors.

Grace Margaret Gould in Woman's Home
 Companion.
 In regard to the fashionable colors for fall and winter, it will be the peculiar tones rather than the usual ones. that will be the most fashionable Dark shades are to be favored in striking contrast to the delicate tints which were so much the vogue last autumn. The very new point about the new colors is that they all. more or less, look as though they were seen through mist or veil The vivid shades are all subdued. For m stance, there is an ashen tinge to the reds The greens are softer, and the browns are dulled to mode; the blues re- fleet a gray shadow, and even the grays themselves are deepened. Instead Of pure gray, we have taupe, which much resem- bles mole. and another deep gray known as elephants breath.
 Brown will be extremely fashionable all through the fall and winter. much more so, in fact, than gray. shade of brown known as modore, and which has de- clded greenish tinge, will be a very ex- elusive and fashionable shade. The chest nut browns will also be good style, and

Newec Plaid lmportatlons.

A visit to an up-to-date department store-and the majority of department stores today are up-to-date-to the ob- server is replete with interest. To me it Is always pleasure to visit the large stores and notice the various novelties displayed On my usual rounds last week I visited the store of the Drennen com pany. Through the courtesy of the man. ager I was taken through every depart ment. While the various departments and floors were intensely interesting, I was especially attracted by the charming display shown by the dress goods and silk department. Here may be found fab rics of every description dear to the fem mine eye was informed that this all important department has advanced or increased from 35 per cent. to 50 per cent. over past seasons. can well believe it. Never have seen such diversified stock in my life, and it has been my good for tune to have visited many large concerns of this kind all over the country.
 Not alone are the styles and shades no- ticeable but the prices as well. Here may be found-and I think it remarkable novelties in skirtng and suiting, direct from the foreign markets, from 50 cents to S1 per yard. While the attention of the public could be called to many things, this price is deserving of special mention. Of course some of the goods come within the zone of a smaller pocketbook, and some which I would imagine would please the most fastidious, are higher. Tn other words, while the fabrics ranging in price from 30 cents to s1 are a special and interesting feature, a lady in any condition of life may be suited in this de- cidedly up-to-date department of an up- to-date store.
 The newest creations that have just ar- rived are stunning They are composed chiefly of over-check suiting and shadow plaid skirting. Tn the suiting gray pre- dominates, while in the skirting pracu- eally every color in the spectrum may be found.
 These goods are also within the reach of everyone, not only in price, but in styles and colors.
 The conservative, fastidious or faddist will find in the stock of the Drennen com pany fabrics that for quality, style and price will transport them into an ecstacy of joy.
 In close proximity to the dress goods department Is the Things" department Here may be found some magnificent specimens of the craftsmen along this line The prices vary from the ridicu- lously low to the high price.
 It would not be amiss to say that the general display in the windows of this is well calculated to attract the of everyone in general, and the feminine eye in particular.

KING EDWARDS CLOCKS.
Every Timepiece in Palace Is Half an
 Hour Fast.

From the London Mail.
 During the summer season. when the King and Queen are away from Sandring- hum and the park and grounds arc oc- casionally open to visitors the platform of Wolferton. the station for Sandring- h ln, Is now and again occupied by bands of people who complain angrily that they are half an hour too soon for their train. They have not discovered in time that all the clocks at Sandringham are kept half al hour fast.
 This Is a curious fancy which the King shares with several of his friends, Lord Pembroke, for instance. whose clocks at Wilton House are all half an hour fast 4 no place. however, is the scheme car rcd out more thoroughly than at Sand rilgham, where all the clocks in the house. stables and kennels, and even the church clock are kept exactly half an hour fast.
 A well-known scientific writer visiting sandringham recently from Hunstanton, and finding himself at the station with these thirty minutes of leisure. occupied them in an interesting discourse to some fellow sufferers on the influence of hu- nan beings on clocks and on other ob- jects which would not be suspected by the ordinary human being of having "rerves."
 T dare wager" he said "that in the vate rooms of a punctual and busi- nc ss-like man such as the King. the clocks do not lose or gain a minute a V ,ek Put the sam clocks in the room of an untidy cratic unpunctutl man, ard even if he does not alter them every dry on pretense of their being wrong thay always will be wrong.

On October 1st the Housman Pharmacy. now situated on the corner of Nineteenth street and Third avenue, will move to 1924 Fourth avenue and also to 32O North Twentieth street.
 A short time ago, owing to the sup ports of the building sinking in, the store was compelled to close temporarily. However, men were put to work at once on the building, and in few days the establishment was once more open for business.
 The Housman company will remain open up to the last day despite the crowded condition of affairs due to the accident.
 The two new locations will be fitted up in a most sumptuous manner, and will carry a full line of drugs and drug af- filiations.
