Speaking of the stabbing affray in Washington in wf.ich we'll known politician is accused of cutting Consul Garland, one writer says that there could be good many stories told of similar rows, some of them of Ten derloin origin and some involving Washington girls. An under-secre- tary of the Mexican legation before the mission was raised to an enl- bassy, pulled pistol on the secretary of a congressman one night, but never got a chance to shoot him. There was a brief but fervid mixup and the legationer was an emergency hospital case for two weeks. There was another case when four of the Black and Tans," as the South American contingent are sometimes slightingly referred to, were having a very noisy supper in the cafe of a prominent hotel there. They were discussing Washington women in Spanish in none too complimentary terms. Sitting at the next table there was young American mining engineer with considerable interests in Chilli. Naturally, he understood Spanish, but he paid no attention to the diplomatic party till the names of several girls he knew were point edly brought into the conversation. At that he walked over to the other party and gave them dressing down in pure Castilian that they would be apt to remember, and then, for fear that 1t had not soaked in deep enough, he tipped over the table with the young attaches underneath it, dropped his card into the midst of the wreckage. and calmly went back to finish his supper. Strangely or otherwise, none of the sufferers ever demanded satisfaction, either for their feelings or their dress suits. both of which were considerably hurt.

WAYS OF WEARING VEIL.
Several New Ones Are in Vogue at
 the Present Time.

The box plaited topknot to the wed. ding veil is now the accepted fad of fashion. Most often the upturning plaits are arranged in the form of q coronet, but again they are narrowed together into one square, upturning bunch cf plaits, which shall have the effect almost of Spanish comb.
 These plaits are held in place by either wreath of flowers or a tiara. The last, even of diamonds, is worn by the bride who Is fortunate enough to possess one. Miss Florence Flower. now Mrs. Pierre Lorillard Barbey, married not long ago. had her veil of malines, held by gorgeous diamond tiara. It was first box plaited at the crown of the head. Sometimes the hair is waved in the new, high stand ing Parisian waves. which build the coifiure up high. The dainty flower wreath is laid around this: and then the mass of maline box plaits Is built up from the back to surmount the crown of the head, like the number, less heavy headdresses that are worn. One advantage about this style Is that 1t certainly gives the bride height should she need 1t.
 For the bride who prefers the wide pompadour the veil may be draped in a small bow or sort of double little pun or rosettes laid fiat on the crown of the head and intertwined with her flowers. For the girl who wears the Greuze coiffure- who wears already ribbon of white tuIe or gauge Inter threaded in her hair. with one or dou ble rosettes near her ears, the veil may be simply attached under this coiffure. Young women who affect this coiffure-of course. 1t Is only suit able for the most girlish type-have a shell hairpin with hole near the end like a needle for threading the gauge ribbon through.

sticks, into which the weary player can thrust her discarded parapherna- lia; in fact. almost every device to be thought of to add comfort to hot weather existence is now provided.
 Among the useful pieces is the tea cart, which is !. really a two-storied tray upon wheels, and just the thing for serving five o'clock tea upon the lawn or piazza Against the handles at the back is small basket for sil- verware, and on the top shelf is fitted a glass tray with handles, which lifts up if so desired. A copy of the old fashioned workstand is another piece found in wicker. It is light and easi- ly moved about. or it makes very useful. and attractive article in the bedroom of a summer cottage.
 Imagine a bow-windowed room with floor covered with. lowered mating. In the window is stand like this and a high-backed wicker armchair with foot-stool and book.rest. The chair has cretoune-covered cushions and the curtains are of cretonne to match. The flowers on the floor mating cor respond also. Two or three more wick. CT chairs within the room and low wicker table, white enamel bedstead and bureau complete the actual fur. nishings of what would be a bright, cosy snuggery. "A patterned wall pa per would give almost too figured an aspect to the room, but cool looking paper has panels of one of the pale shades of blue, pink or yellow set in frames. composed of narrow border of flowers, corresponding to those in the cretonne hangings and mating. Two or three pen and ink sketches and water colors about the walls are the only other attempt at decoration necessary. for one does not need nor wish for many ornaments about in hot weather, when all housekeeping should be simplified as much as pos sible.
 Again, imagine pleasant piazza shaded by Japanese bamboo screens or awnings. a rag rug or two on the floor, or perhaps gay colored Turk ish one; plenty of wicker furniture. swings and hammocks we'll stocked with linen or huck-covered cushions and stands full of hardy plants-sure- ly it is an ideal outdoor sitting room.
 In furnishing a piazza of course one must consider the durability of what | is selected. Valuable rugs and easily damaged cushions are out of place unless the piazza is we'll protected or one has a man always at hand to go to the rescue in case of a sudden shower.
 There are plenty of inexpensive woven rugs in light colors. and plenty of cheap but pretty covers for cush- ions. SO that the cost for getting up pretty effect is not prohibItive.
 The chairs may have cushions at. tached to the seat and back, or merely have ordinary sofa pillows to be ad- iusted to the owners comfort. A table is necessary for general comfort in this outdoor sitting room, and a great addition is one of the comfortable double chair swings.

TURNED OUT BY NATURE.
Many Things of Use That the Old
 Dame Manufactures.

Nature is something of . manufac. turer herself. In the case of a certain cactus marvellous natural pottery is produced. Woodpeckers excavate nests in the trunk and branches, and to protect itself the plant exudes 8 sticky juice, which hardens, forming a woody lining to the holes made by the birds. Eventually the cactus dies and withers away, but the wooden bowls remain. As a weaver nature also pro duces fine work. Certain tree barks and leaves furnish excellent cloth, as. for instant, the famous tapa cloth used in the South sea islands Nature Is . glass-maker. too. By discharging her lightning into beds of quartz sand she forms exquisite little pipes of glass. She makes valuable ropes of various kinds in the shape of tropical vines and creepers. and she is even lace maker, as witness the lace tree of the West Indies.-Indian Review.

PORCH FURNISHINGS
WICKER WORK BEST FOR THE

Comfort, Beauty and Lightness All Combined in This Style-Durabil.
 ity Also One of It's Chief Charms.

Porch furniture has become of rec ugnized importance in arranging a house for the summer, and of late the manufacturers have learned to com. bine comfort with beauty and light ness with a remarkable degree of sue. cess. And not only porch furniture, but all sorts of pretty wicker ware suitable for various parts of the house is so much sought after that almost every piece of solid furniture has it's replica in wicker ware.
 For bedrooms, the living room. den and summer parlor there is great variety of the most tempting descrip- tion. Cosey chairs which invite a loaf after dinner, coollooking wicker lounges for the afternoon siesta, sew ing chairs with footstool and pockets under the arms to hold materials, porch chairs with holders for golf

has no fire department From the re-
ports of the insurance bulletins last
year we find that in the United States
that there was risks in force amount
ing TO more than thirty billion dol

ing a gross profit of more than two

few paid men and wl'en YOU do the
chief will he ashamed to tell YOU the
amount of salary that they draw. Most
OF the firemen are volunteers. This
two per cent goes to provide what is
known as a pension fund. OF course 1t
is understood that when a fireman is
enjoying health and the means Of
earning a livelihood and providing for
the necessities of his family, makes
no claim upon this fund But when
he falls in the line OF duty and is no
longer able to care for and support
himself or famiiy-then it is he should
receive some Of the wages he has
earned No. the firemen are not ask
ing the constitutional convention to
pass two per cent law. but are ask
ing hat a clause be placed In the con
authorizing the legislature to
