A Grotesque Affair.

Speaking of lace reminds US Of the
most cOmical of all the hats now max
ing. This is a Paris model, and it is
being copied as fast as the nimble fin
gers of the girls at work can do it,
It has a small brim and a crown low
and round, like half a rubber ball. All
around the edge of the brim is a
wreath of roses, and under the back of
the brim is a bandeau of black satin
ribbon and pink roses. A fall of chif-
fon embroidery, also white, like the fine
straw, extends quite around the crown,
falling over the roses. A superb white
plume curls around the left side of the
back.
The fact remains patent that there
is a reaction in favor of small hats,
white in fine straws and light tints and
pastel shades instead of such violent
coIors as have been the mode for so
long. Some of them have draperies
and landings of the same straw as
trimming. Delicate Openwork effects
are wrought by the admirers of horse
hair braids and straws. Napoleon,
Henry ". and several other historical
characters furnish names for hats built
upon the styles they once affected.

be earning my living giving piano les

late Mr.. Wisely's money"
The last remarks were a tritle rude,
but, then, no one minded Mrs Wisely's
breaches of etiquette.
"Of course my marriage wasn't eX-
actly what you would call a love

on, "but, then, it turned out better
than most love matches do. l was
treated we'll, and l always had all l

that's more than most of the widows
of love matches can say. They look
back to past of privations with a
short honeymoon and a lot of quarrels
and struggles. and they look forward
to a future filled with more struggles,
only worse, because now they are at
an age where every struggle counts.

These diminutive hats have crowns
more suggestive of inverted baskets
than anything else and stand about
three inches high. Towering aloft IS
an immense bunch of feathers, which
appear to have been taken from some
proud chanticleer's tail, and, as If this
overlapping plume were not enough, all
along under the back Of the brim are
set punches of small pink roses and
their foliage. Roses are the grand
mode for this season, with violets a
close second.

The City of Manila is overrun with
American hoboes This fact incites
some Of our contemporaries to little
jollying' over the phrase following
the flag" The American hobo, or dere-
lict, does not forget the flag of his
country. Hence impelled by knowledge
of conditions in the Philippines fayora-
BILE to his profession of idleness, i'm
PEELED by devotion to his code, and by
la desire for travel and excitement, he
takes delight in the sphere Of adven-
tture involved in a journey to the land
of our little brown brothers" Every
American vessel brings a tramp or two,
According to the soldiers who have just
returned to this country from the
island, the hoboes have become a serl-
Ious impeachment to the progress Of the
Islands. Not only do they come in mer-
chant vessels, but In the army trans
ports as well, managing, despite the Of
Ulcers, to stow away in the vessels. 1t
lis impossible to detect them until the
ship is well out TO sea. Then they APP
pear on deck and ask FOR something to
eat.
Captain Davis, adjutant on Govern
.or's island, who recently returned from
the Philippines, says that Manilas UNI
employed seemed to have landed there
from the four corners of the earth.
Among them are great many Ameri-
cans, but all the other countriesN have
large delegations. When consul in
the Orient gets an American hobo on
his hands he Immediately sends the va
grant to Manila, as a consular passen-
ger, that port, unfortunately, being the
nearest American possession.
Thus the Philippines are becoming
a paradise for the hobo Nobody seems
to be able to turn tramp from the
error of his ways, He turns up sml-
ing in every clime-exceptiug 5ust one
clime-that of eternal snow and Ice.
The hobo seems destined to be always

THE FARM Err.

The independence and the Importance
of the farmer and his security in his
position are well Illustrated in the
tenth annual report of the Secretary Of
Agriculture In the report the secre-
tary says that 1.-The time of the man
and the yield of the acre become more
responsive as more imperative demands
arc made upon them"
The economic revolution in the art
and science of agriculture continued
during 1906, with tremendous results on
national prosperity. Estimates are
made for comparison with every detail
presented by the census. The farm
products of the year have farm value
Of very nearly six thousand eight hun
bred million dollars, nearly half a bill
lion above the value of 1905, and ex-
ceeding by over two billion dollars the
figures for the last census. These fig
ures mean that the national yield Of
the soil in 1906 lis in value nearly one
half the national wealth of the State
of New York in all kinds of property,
according TO the Census Bureaus sta
tlstics, or approximately one-ffteenth
of the total wealth of the United
States. Corn remains by far the most
valuable crop, estimated at eleven hun
bred million dollars.
The farm still overshadows the mill,
the factory and the worhship in pro-
viding exports, and with his surplus
beyond the nations need the farmer
has loaded the fleets of oceans. If real
estate, domestic animals, other live
stock, implements and machinery are
included the farmers capital has in
creased since the census valuation by
probably eight billion of dollars, the
present valuation being probably twen-
ty-eight billions.
Truly the farmer cuts a big figure in
the world and many a farmers son
rises to distinction in business life, in
the professional field or even in the
world Of finance, BY the way, why do
so many farmer boys strike out when
Of age and leave the old farm and the
old oaken bucket?

A man of brilliant talents was the
lamented Samuel Spencer, president of

terrible and untimely death casts a
gloom over the country Two brief
quotations from one of his last adj

cultural Association Of Alabama, show
the spirit and character of the man:
1.-THE railroad managers position-his
relationship to the public, on the one
hand, and to the properties he repre-
sents, and for the successful manage
ment of which he is responsible, on
the other-has undergone radical
changes in recent years. "
As in the inception of railroad con-
struction the public relations to the
properties were largely lost sight Of,
SO now, in reaction, the public charac-
ter Of the enterprises is almost the only
thing recognized or considered, and the
private rights of the owners are, in the
political thought of the day, almost If
not entirely forgotten.
Justice, however, lies between the
two extremes. These properties and
their owners should be required to per-
form faithfully their public duties un-
der reasonable rates and practices, un-
der full publicity, without unjust dis
elimination and without favor for any
interests,
when this obligation is performed,
the residuum is private property, en-
titled to the same consideration and
protection at the hands of the public
and the government as all other pri-
waite property

Truly, China seems to be thoroughly
awakening from her slumber of ages,
and, among other inventions of the
foreign devils" has gone into railroad
building in earnest A New England
company has secured the contract for
/ building the first railway passenger
/ cars to be run on the Canton Hang
! kow railroad, which is now being con-
structed. The building of the line is an
I enormous undertaking, and it will be
many years before it will be completed,
but then it will connect with the Hang
koW-Peking line, and give Peking d.
rect communication with South China,
a distance Of more than fourteen hun
dred miles. The engineers of the line
are Chinese brought from the North to
serve. 1t is expected that twelve miles
of the road will be completed in De
oember, connecting Canton with towns
of Importance, and the new cars will be
fused on these twelve miles, and farther
north as the track is lail.
The traditional objections Of the Chi
nese to an innovation of this kind have
abated, and one hears little or nothing
now of fears and alarms lest the graves
Of ancestors be disturbed The new
line from Canton to Hangkow, the
Chicago of the Chinese Empire" some
seven hundred miles to the north of
Hong Kong, is being built by popular
subscriptions, exclusively among the
Chinese The effect of this early order
for cars is to practically standardize
the roads of South China to the Ameri-
can type Corridor cars), as against
compartment cars, in the making Of
which Americans can scarcely compete
with Europeans.
The Celestials have great iron works
at Han-Yang, opposite Hangkow, and
a Chinese engineer, educated in Amer
lea and builder of the Picking Kalagan
and Picking Tientsin rallroa 1a, has
been selected to superintend the con
struction of the Canton Hangkow line.
The lesson of the japanese war is
sinking deep into the minds OF the Chi
nese head men,
