frocks are but luxuries intended only

10y ere this.
In the first place, silk frock is
practical, everyday economy. 1t saves the
more perishable frocks from wear and tear and
the inevitable soapy plunge which unhappily
puts finish to their pristine beauty. In the
second place, there is nothing prettier for q
cool day in summer when thin, transparent
gown would not only be in bad TASTE but in
duce colds, neuralgia and other unpleasant
things that follow in the wake of indiscreet
wearing apparel.
The silk frock may be very simply made and
worn as shirtwaist suit, or deliberately designed
for afternoon and evening wear.
Or it may be modelled over that all engross-
ing mode, the princess corselet, with en-
pire bolero, the latter being of the same ma
terial as the gown or of plain color, quite a
smart touch this season. The other alterna-
tive is the longer coat that may reach the hip
line and sweep away towards the hem of the
skirt.
There is really more service and comfort to be
had out of a well chosen silk gown or suit as
the case may be- than any other garment in
the summer wardrobe. 1851.
PATTERNS IN SILKS i
Stripes have struck the silk world, and &C.
cording to old dry goods maxim, "What is
long in coming is also long in going" So may
we settle ourselves peacefully and expect long
reign of stripes in all sorts of materials especial
ly silks, for they have not been modish here in
America for some years.
Stripes of all sorts and conditions are Of
fered from the hairline effect to the really
courageous stripes that measure almost three
inches across.
"Pekin" stripes are very attractive, and what
is lovelier than broad stripe of dull blue or
green broken at intervals with an embroidered
flower, misty moss rose for example? These
stripe effects are charming on cream colored
backgrounds. On chifons this silken stripe, with
posies, reaches the acme of diaphanous lowell
ness.
The combination Of the colors employed in this
seasons silks is somewhat brilliant, in accord.

Big Wildcat in City Limits.

From the ST. Louis Republic.
A large wildcat that has been filing the
night air with hair-raising sounds and the
peoplt, In the vicinity with terror on the
bluffs between Hop Hollow and Alton was
killed early yesterday morning by Henry
Schwallensticher, an Alton stone mason,
whose dogs freed the cat on Haskell Hill
Schwallensticher had gone coon hunting
Sunday night and was returning home
when the dogs started the wildcat inside
the northern limits of the city of Alton.
After a sharp chase the animal ran up a
large tree on Haskell HILL and the dogs
howled and barked furiously until their
master came up. The figure of the animal
Was outlined against the limb of the tree
upon which it crouched, and the hunter,
thinking il was a coon. fired at the dark
object The aim was true, and the animal
giving a scream of pain, came tumbling to
the ground. Dying as It was, the trained
dogs had hard fight and many bad wounds
from he cat, which Is said to be the largest
specimen ever seen in the vicinity.

Sand as Writing Paper.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
I'VE have all seen sand used as blotting
paper" said q school director, but in New
England last month saw it used as writing
paper.
Sand was the original blotting paper.
White and clean, it was kept in a cruet, like
a salt cruet, and shaken out on the wet
writing through the perforated top.
There are affected people-the kind of
people who write with quill pens-who
still use sand as blotter. But until last
month thought that as a writing paper
1t had disappeared forever.
And then 1 visited country school in
New Hampshire. On the masters desk sat
a box. three feet square filled with sand.
The children came, one at time, to the
box and with pointed stick by way of
pen they wrote. As each child finished he
smoothed out his writing, leaving the sand
smooth for the next conner.
This odd scheme carried me back to the
days when paper was so scarce when
states were so scarce. that sand was used

criminals known as ''yeggmen," who can
scarcely be distinguished from tramps,
against whom practically all the successful
and unsuccessful attempts at bank bur-
glary and similar crimes are properly
chargeable The yeggmen have no pe-ma-

have planned, and when not out or Dusi-
ness are swallowed up in the ranks of the
army of Migrants that is constantly DRIFT
ing from town to town, with no definite

catch, hard to identify, and the growth of

difficult problems for the police to solve
Among the tramps that pass from one
community to another one out OF ten may

fate. Eight of the ten may be mere worth

White Fox Squirrel.

From the Topeka State Journal.
The state has a phenomenon which prob
ably no other similar organization can
boast of. 1t is white fox squirrel. and
was shot by a farmer near Ozawkie about
two weeks ago.
The animal is unusually large for fox
squirrel. Its back is entirely white. Its head
is of the same color. save a small SPOT OF
brown between the ears and over the nose.
The tail and under part of the body are
brown, like the ordinary squirrel
Students of nature say that this Is the
only white fox squirrel which they have
ever heard of and may be the only one In
existence. 1t was turned over to Mr..

Town Pipes Furnished Hot Water.

From the sPittsourg D'spaicn'
Residents of Dravosburg yesterday We're
sunplied with hot water from the village
pumping station. There was no extra cost
for It. When they wanted a drink they
had to stand a glassful outside All they
had to do was to put a little coffee in a
cup and turn on the spigot All of this
demonstrated that human nature is not
always satisfied. because when things are
hot the people want them cold, and vice
versa The solution of the matter was
this: A water>main extending along Gold
strom avenue passes beneath an old stag
pile. Some time ago the Stag became ig-
n.ted and has since been smoldering.
The heat extends to the water main;
therefore the hot water phenomenon
is that the heat has brought out the crick-
cts and while the hot water service goes
on they nightly perform solos in ensemble
numbers.

Food for Squirrels.
From Brooklyn Life.

Fro1n Br0okIyn Lie.
Most people who feed the gray squirrels
In the big parks fail to realize that 1t is
no kindness to give these pretty little ami
mails such soft shell nuts as almonds, pea
nuts and chestnuts. Human beings who
do not have to actually forage for food
naturally enough feel that 1t is thought
fulness itself 60 save the squirrels work.
The fact is. however. that squirrels
teeth grow 30 rapidly that, deprived of
their normal use, they might even through
their very uselessness become long enough
to put this charming rodent of the trees
In danger of starvation. Hickory, pecan
and hazel nuts are the proper food to
throw TO the squirrels.

Dnlfng Green Hny.

A great many farmers In Illinois and
states farther south cut their clover,
allow 1t to wilt slightly and then bale
while yet green. They claim clover

good, succulent feed. While this jour
nal does not advise general adapta-
tlon of this method, the fact Is 1t has
been practiccd successfully. If the hay
cannot be balcd directly put it up In
well formed stacks, then get at baling
as soon rs possible thereafter. If this
Is done without delay there will be lit

Popular I'm Oklahoma ms n Catch
Crop, Following Grain.

The successful outcome of the cow
pea as a crop In Oklahoma Is reported
ny the state station. Considerable
acreage Is grown as catch crop fol-
lowing wheat or oats. Many such
fields are seeded as late az the middle
of July and by Sept. 15 are completely
covered with u two or three foot
growth Of vines, In many cases bearing
u good crop of seed.
One Of two methods Is generally used
in harvesting cowpea seed. The pods
are either picked of by hand as they
ripen or the vines are gathered when
the greater part of the pods are ripe,
and then the peas are failed or thrash
ed out.
Failing or ThrashinG the Peas.
The method Of allowing the pods to
remain on the vine until all or great
er part Of them are ripe and then cut
ting the vines and curing them and
then tlailing or thrashing out the peas
will be found to be the most practical
method Of gathering the seed in many
cases, although with this method more
or less Of the seed will be lost OH the
ground by some of the riper pods pop
ping open before II tting and dur
ing the harvest. But expense saved
by doing away with the hand labor In
picking will more than balance this
loss, and II 1t can be arranged so that
the hogs can be turned on the patch
after the crop Is removed the greater
part of the peas that have shattered
out will he picked UP. In harvesting
cowpca vines, to save the seed they
may be cut with scythe, mower, an
improviscd horizontal knife fastened
to the shank of n cutivator, or regu-
lar bean harvester.
