In many business Offices fire buckets
are placed, filled with water, in readi-
ness for an emergency. 1t is seldom,

incipient fire is USUALLY to hurl the
whole contents of a bucket on the spot.
Most of the water is wasted by this
means. A heavy ~sprinkling is more
effective. The water may be splashed

beside every nest of fire buckets.

The winter months in Minnesota are
noted for their deep snow and short,
dark days, and the experience of the
school teachers in some of the remote
districts throughout the long winter
months are not without hardships.
Sometimes they encounter wild ami
mails on their way to school, and in
one instance a teacher lost her way
and searching parties were out two
days before she was found. However,
the work goes on c~heerfully and it is
not often hat any of the plucky teach
ers forsakes her school after having
taken charge.

An inquirer into the social life OF
France has been investigating the
prevalence of civil burial, and comes to
the conclusion that for the last quarter
of a century it has beer stationary at
from 10 to 20 per cent. of the popula-
ton. An odd fact about the question is
that among the educated classes civil
burial is almost a negligible quantity.
1t is practiced almost exclusively by the
very poor. OF 10000 such burials an
nually 1000 are of the class which has
TO be buried at the public expense, n
1000 more among the very poorest OF
those who buy their own graves.

Bits of Shop News.

Reports from Paris tell us that the latest novelty in hats has a crown of creton, nothing more or less than the or dinary furniture creton. Fifth avenue shops have been showing creton brimmed hats and hats with creton bands set into the brlm since early spring. Latest ad- vices tell us that midsummer will see many ereton parasos matching these hats, and even the silk costume trimmed with creton bands. French designers scorn nothing that will bring out the de- sired effect Bed tickings created sen sation in the trimming world last season; this year 1t Is furniture coverings.
 Guinea Wings are accounted the smartest of the smart in hat trimmings. These are huge affairs in pairs, and some times accompanied by broad bands of guinea feathers. They are set flat on the wlde-brimmeG. low crowned sailors of mid summer Very often the wings are touched with some color, such as yellow or red and ribbon of this shade bands the hat and is put on the under brim.
 The Gold Link Purse has at last met a rival In the gold and silver bags of oblong and slightly irregular outline, and fully an inch and a half thick. These purses are shown in solid gold at prices running up Into three figures and in ster- ling and German silver They are lined with molre silk and have a little center pocket for change. The largest size IS amply large for the visiting cards. A. though they are known as vanity purses, they will really answer as q dressy purse and card case as well. Plain and chased designs are shown and both brilliant and dull finishes. In the gold the gilt or Eng lish finish, as it is called in the shops, is considered smartest, and in the silver the bright finish. Economically Inclined wom- en are purchasing these purses h Ger man silver and having them gold plated. A purse that costs s5 in the German sll- yer may be plated with 14-karat gold at the cost of another $5, the whole purse amounting to $10, whereas the gold-plated sterling silver would cost three times that amount.
 Among the Novelties brought out in q Fifth avenue shop for the favored customer was a little cutaway cape, q most incongruous thing from the deserip- tion. but in reality little midsummer wrap It was entirely Of beautiful hand embroidery, and consisted of two founces of circular shape and flat embroidered collar It's greatest length in the back would not reach more than couple of inches below the waistline, and is cut away sharply from the neck in front. so that the entire front of the costume would be displayed.

ton in riding habits Youthful eques- triennes wear this type of coat with smart divided skirt of novelty suiting or tweed, and even linen, and set 1t off with riding boots, crop and gloves of golden brown leather and Rough Rider hat of real Panama. Older girls and women, whose figures are rounded into graceful curves, wear tight-nttlng coats and the black rough straw sailor or tri- corne Otherwise the costume Is the same as the younger riders. One model in d. vided skirts has a front panel which, when the wearer is walking or essays to ride side saddle, may be buttoned over the front dividing line of the skirt, mak ing 1t smart pedestrlenne skirt.
 The sweater is such a practical garment that it should find a place in every ward robe, and more especially in the athletic girls. It is well nigh invaluable for golfing, tennis, boating or automobiling. It is an extra garment, giving all the necessary warmth without the additional weight and restraint upon the easy mo- ton of the body which the coat or Jacket means. Altogether 1t Is an extremely practical and serviceable addition to any wardrobe.
 Garments for automoblling vary accord ing to their use, leather for the rlgors of a long drive, with waterproof silks. mo- hairs, lansdownes, tussahs and such light weight modish fabrics for the short drives in and about town. Linen, too, Is finding ready favor, and so is cotton covert. Both of these materials make up into smart and inexpensive suits and coats. which may be freshened numberless times dur ing the season by careful laundering.
 Linen also finds a charming expression in tennis dresses, little jumper frocks with loose blousey waists, which give most perfect freedom of movement to the body, and shirtwaist suits with low, com fortable collar and short, full sleeves. The shirtwaist suit of linen Is worn alike on the tennis court and the golf links, and divides favor with the smart worsted or mohair skirt and natty, trim outing waist of cotton or silk.
 Outing millinery Is confined to severe but none the less becoming effects in straw, canvas and linen. So many girls dispense with the hat altogether that one may be made to answer for all occasions. The Rough Rider hat Is as good style with the golf dress as with the riding habit, and the sailor or tricorne may be donned with any and every outing cos tune.

matrons They are on sale In all or the shops, but are so easily made at home that most women prefer to fashion them themselves and save their money for other less easily accomplished dress nc cessorles The simple scalloped edge sets in white and natural linen are always pretty, and there are some smart new designs ornamented with soutache braid ing, combined with French knots, that appeal to the searcher for the latest thing.
 The Latest Cry In the embroidered linen collars is collars in colored linen embroidered in white, and provided with smart little bows or Jabots to match Pink, blue and lavender are the colors chosen. When these are worn with white linen suit and accompanied by matching belt the effect is very smart.
 The Very servicenble Sweater.
 The sweater is the most practical and servlceable garment of the athletic girls wardrobe. There are various models of this garment, but the most attractive Is the Norfolk jacket which fastens in the front with single row of small brass buttons, or hooks on a fly. White and gray are the fayoTlte colors, and some few reds are seen. The price of these sweaters is governed much by the stitch, some stitches being more difficult to knit, especially if hand made, The pictured sweater is of fine white wool knitted in a bean stitch with n rope stripe of black and white. A broad box pleat runs from the shoulder on either side of the center front and back. The neck Is finished with narrow roll collar. and the sleeves are bishop pattern with a close-ftting cuff. The garment extends well over the hips and Is belted In at the waistline with three-inch belt, the pointed ends of which lap in the front.
 On the Tennis Court.
 One of the smartest jumper models In wash fabrics this season is this tennis dress of Alice blue linen. It is in very truth a jumper, for the waist portion Is slipped on over the head and drawn in about the waist with a tape nun through a narrow casing. The cutout neck and the cape-like sleeves are finished with an embroidered buttonhole scallop in white, and the guimpe is simply tucked in yoke form and trimmed only at the top of the collar and on the cuffs with a narrow edge of Val The skirt, which is ankle length, is pleated and stitched well be- low the hip line, from whence 1t flares gracefully outward. A narrow stitched belt, the pointed ends of which cross in front, finishes the waist line. Where hat Is worn nothing could be prettier than a rolled brim sailor of white linen with broad crown bow of lawn. Golden brown kid oxfords with low heel and ex- tension sole are not alone the smartest footwear for the tennis court, but like wise the most practical and comfortable.
