FADS AND FASHIONS.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Fashions
are not meant to stay with us any
great length of time. Dressmakers
and milliners create such beautiful
gowns and hats all on one color
scheme, and when nearly every
woman is satisfied with this fashion
there comes an abrupt change. 1t
has recently been announced from
Paris, that costumes and hats are
no longer to match in color. And
another thing is, that the large hat
has had its day. Street hats of the
very latest style are very small In
deed However, it is not probable
that women in general will adopt
this fashion for many months, per-
haps not until summer. On the most
stylish hats. the underbrims are of
another color, and then the trim
mings are still of other colors or
shades The black satin hats that
are so pretty have become so COM
mon that not many will wear them,
at least in the large cities, it is true.
They are jaunty things, light in
weight and can be trimmed to match
or harmonic with the gown.

Connecticut.
Connecticut has one of the hand
soonest state buildings at the James
town exposition, beautifully located
on the shores of Hampton Roads. Its
exhibit in the States Exhibits Pahce
Is also we'll worthy of comment The
Connecticut building was constructed
after the general plan of the old Tai
mage home at Litchtield, the architec-
ture being closely followed, with the
Interior somewhat changed to conform
to modern ideas and conyeniences.
The historical features of the Con
necticut building are not confined to
the house alone, for its walls contain
many articles of historical value. Here
Is preserved the celebrated "constitu-
ton tablet" consisting of the Connect
cut coat of arms, beneath which are
the words Connecticut State" On
both sides of this tablet are quotations
from famous writers and historians
who played prominent parts in Ameri
can history.
The walls of the great entrance hall
Of the Connecticut building are finished
In soft old venetian red. The hall fur
nlture Is of the seventeenth century.
A quaint old grandfather'S clock occu
pies place of prominence on the stair
way landing. The upper hall contains
a pretty wing chair of Hepplewhite
design, scroll top corner cupboard
filled with rare old china and scroll
top highboy with claw and ball feet,
the last named being one of the most
exquisite articles in this collection Of
antiques.
Connecticut's historical exhibit is like
wise elaborate and interesting, and itS
Industrial and agricultural exhibit in
the States Exhibit Palace contains
much of human interest and useful in
formation.
A handsome display of Connecticut
clocks is another attractive feature.
Clocks Of every size, date and design

glass. glasses and bottles which were
owned by Colonel Cilley before the
Revolution. In this collection is an eX
quisite miniature of Brigadier General
Enoch Poor of Revolutionary fame,
also some rare old lace, fans, manu-
scripts and prints.
Massachusetts.
An imposing replica of the old state
house at Boston represents the com
monWealth of Massachusetts at the
jamestown exposition. That famous
old structure, whose reproduction
graces the row of state buildings, pre-
seHts a pretty picture of the water
front overlooking tile placid waters of
Hampton Roads. The selection of this
historic old statehouse for the Massa
chusetts building gives to the outside
world an opportunity to see one of the
public buildings which have played n
most Important part in throwing of
the yoke Of allegiance of the American
colonies to the British crown. Within
the wallis of the Old Boston statehous,
were heard some of the first demands
for American liberty. There were tax
en- some OF the first steps that led tG
the Declaration of Independence.

historical and educational, no agricu
tural or mineral exhibits having been
made by the old Bay State. The state
building and the Interesting thing,

GROWING DATES IN TEXAS.
Successful Experiments With Artificial
pollination Of Palm Trees.

The first perfect dates ever grown
In Texas are nov being harvested from
two trees at the home of Fred Wool
fey in Laredo. says special dispatch
to the New York Times The date
palm trees have grown and thriyed
throughout the lower Rio Grande re
gion for more than half century. and
on the Mexican side of the river the
tree has tourlshed for fully Il century.
During all these years IL has been I'm.
productive. The trees We're never pol.
linated Without artificial pollination
the date flower is incapable of produc
Ing perfect fruit.
Harvey c. Stiles, noted horticul
turist, became interested in the date
palm trees of the Laredo section two
years ago. He found that, while they
grew TO perfection and We're TO all ap
pearances capable of bearing great
quantities of fruit they were either
entirely barren or the fruit which they
grew was immature and worthless.
He began experimenting with artificial
pollinatlon. and his success was mar.
velous He pollinated two trees last
year, one at Corpus Christi and the
other at Brownsville. These first ex
periments proved to him that the
many trees which are already growing
throughout the Laredo section of the
state could lie made Il source of wealth
If the artificial method of fruition was
carried out.
Mr.. Woolfey became interested in
the pollination experiments, and last
spring he took great care in pollinut,
ing the two trees which grow in his
yard at Laredo. He succeeded in per.
fecting nearly every cluster of dates,
and each tree will produce nearly 4OO
pounds of the fruit The first of the
fruit Is now being gathered.
Il predict that the date will become
a staple and famous product of semi,
tropic Texas" said Mr.. Stiles THE
best, most ideal date section Is that
lying along the river southwark FROM
Laredo and coastward. but not too
near the coast, for, while the date tree
thrives in all its tropic beauty and
righteousness near the coast and pro.
duces abundant fruit of good flavor.
yet the fruit from the sections. hot and
dry, free from humidity is the only
date fruit valuable for commercial
uses"

The Men In the 1urret.

They are dead-there was no drumbeat,
They are dead-there was no call
or the bugle sounding battle Of the oan-
mons thunder thrall!
They are dead though peace was DER them
and the day was sweet with CLEAN
Or the dewy rest OF nations In the long
fraternal dream!
They are dead. They loved the Georgia
as the noble dead of old
Loved the frigates that they fought in
with their hearts of oak and gold,
They are dead The tears of comrades
rain upon them where they Law!
They are dead, but they were heroes OF
life's peace as Of its fray.
Wrap the starry flag around them. for
they fell beneath its fold
Let the nation mourn its children. brave
and beautiful and bold!
In the thunder of the turret In the fatal
flame and breath,
Fhey died to save each other In the old
heroic death!
