OF INTEREST
 TO WOMEN
A FEW TULIPS
 WORTH GROWING

As the bulbous flowers were uni- versally successful in this vicinity last spring it Is natural to expect more generous planting of bulbs this au- nlmn, for brilliancy of coloring and gorgeous effect there is none that ex- cels the tulip. The varieties are so numerous and the length of flower stem and time of blooming so varied, that 1t is difficult to make a choice where only small plantings are to be done. We will try to enumerate a few of the most effective and thor oughly tested sorts that we know to be as good as any in their respective classe s.
 For general utility choose the early Towering single section, of this class kaizer Kroon stands first for effective ness with It's large hold of flowers of brilliant scarlet and yellow. Thomas Moore, deep reddish 6range, very unique and striking of great lasting quality Pruserfine deep carmine rose, a very beautiful flower, needs special care and little protection. iVli'N I iiiiSc lpE NellOWi Leu iAtllle, Il fine white variety Rose Cirls-de-lin, the best of the pink shaded sorts, Belle Alliance, showy scarlet, Joost von Vondel, cherry red and white, Duch- esse de Parma, very effective bronze crimson, and Crimson King, deep crimson with yellow base.
 Among the double varieties the fol- lowing are all good La Candeur, white, Imperator, Rubrorum bright scarlet, Murillo blush pink Duke of York car mine and white, Couronne q or yel- low and Gloria Soils crimson, with yellow margin. The tall late flower Ing tulips are specially recommended but they require planting in a per manent situation as the time of bloom ing precludes the planting of early bedding plants in the same place,
 The Byblooms and Bizarres are all very showy Tullpa Gesneriana,

HOMEMADE JABOTS

Nowadays nearly all women wear iabots With tailor mades and even more elaborate costumes they are the neck finishing par excellence. As such jabots cost Q sum almost prohibitive to the average woman's purse, most of these dainty bits of lingerie are manufactured at home. Among the prettiest of the jabots is the grand fathers frill," which is constructed as follows. 1t is of three narrow ruff1es set on either side of a three-quarter inch wide strip of fine muslin The rufIies may be of the finest old muslin, or lace, and each two, two and one- half or three inches wide. The strip of rufles is caught at the neck with a pin or tiny bow of satin or a butter- fly arrangement of null and lace; il runs straight down the front and is tucked into the belt. The little squara planted pieces of embroidered null that are worn with linen collars arc made of a half of a handkerchief They are caught to the base of the collar with a bar or howknot, instead of the too common horseshoe.

 NEAT BED COVER

The bed that is not dressed up with a valance presents a most incom- plete appearance when turned down for the night The under sheet is tightly stretched over and neatly tucked under the mattress, but the box spring is in evidence, and, while it is the most admirable of bed fittings, 1t is not decorative. Then again, this same box spring is a costly article and deserves to be protected from dust.
 So, you see, a cover of some desorip- ton will be quite in order
 In the home of a particular house. keeper each bed spring is provided with a cover of plain white cotton rep. It is a perfectly flat piece of material wide enough and long enough to cover the top of the spring and fall within an inch of the floor all around.
 All supernuous material is discarded hy cutting a square out of each corner which allows the cover to fall each side of the bedpost without a wrinkle or pucker Spread out, the cover presents the appearance of an elongated Nal tese cross
 The edges are finished with mar row, white cotton gimp
 The cover fig quite as easy to launder as a sheet and, aside from it's useful ness as a protector from the dust, 1t adds very materially to the complete makeup of the bed,

gorgeous variety, flowers dazzling

gorgeous variety, flowers dazzling scarlet with black blotches. The Par rot Tulips are both unique and gaudy, but they need plenty of sunshine to open the flowers in perfection. The Darwin Tulips are among the largest flowers of the whole family, with ex- tra long stems some being produced last spring, that were three feet in length.
 Tullpa Tuborgana produces flow CTS fully eight inches across, the color Is a brilliant flame. This sort needs plenty of sunlight and good eultiva- ton. All tulips require good ground, but do not use too strong fertilizers. Have the soil well dug and thoroughly drained, a slight covering of any light material during the first winter will be found beneficial, also be sure to have the earth slightly raised to pre- vent the settling of water during the winter V.

was young and viyacious, and fin the gay society she met at Nassau she soon forgot the lonely exile toiling in the sandy stretches among the salt- crusted hemp plants One day Carter heard-it was weeks aftetward by one of the irregular steamers that stopped at the island that his wife had decided that she was sacrificing her life and happiness by waiting for him, and had eloped with a young New York broker she had met at Nassau. She took the children with her
 From that day on Carter never heard of her-never mentioned her name. Thai was in 1887 He grew gaunter and more melancholy looking, and that was the only sign he gave.
 Your correspondent was a passenger on a German boat that stopped at Inagua two years ago -pn her way to New York from Kingston, Jamaica, her skipper having been notified by the Matthewtown signal station that Garter had some hemp to ship. Twen- ly bales, the product of a whole years work, was the meagre shipment
 The steamer ran around from Mat thewtown and in the afternoon dropped anchor in the little bay on which the hemp buildings and Carter's living shack were built As there was shoal water in shore it was impossible to anchor nearer in than half mile, and the hemp had to be laborlousy car red to the ship in boats As this would be a whole afternoons work, tho captain, the second officer and your corrcsnondcnt decided to so ashore and look over tho plant and possibly get some duck shooting,
 As the boat neared the shore Carer's lank form emerged from the main building, in which arc the presses that split the long, fiat hemp leaves into fibre. He shaded his eyes with his bony hand as she neared the landing place The captain knew him and greeted him cordially The skipper was a big hearted bearded Viking of a German and knew Carters story The deserted man led the way to his house after he had courteously ac- knowledged the captains Introduction He produced a bottle of Scotch, and his embarrass when it was found that there were only two drinks In it was painful He was a man ,Sho had been used to entertaining all His life, and it cut him deeply, one could easily

4E LONELIEST MAN
 Ink Garter, Who Was Killed In g. Storm Near Jamaica 7 Island Recently.

 His Hour of Adversity.

 all companionship, with the eXcep- M of three haf-savage Bahama roes. says the New York World, L,e to an end in the storm that licked the wretched collection of
 rroofed huts known as Matthew Nm, on the Island of lnagua, re- 4 tly.

his once huge frame had been racked by the fever carried by the wind that blows across Inagua from the Sa- yanans of the interior, till his white duck clothes hung on him like cere- ments and the pith helmet he habit ually wore was down to his ears, He had a long mustache, which was beached by the wind and spume of tho miserable rainy seasons till it res sembled nothing more than a wisp of Spanish moss. He was figure to smile at only till you know his story.
 Carter's Florida property, an im- mense orange plantation, was eXterm- mated in the famous frost of 1895, He found himself practically pennlless. His wife and two children, who had lived in luxury as was beitting the family Of a well-to-da planter, had to realize one day that the man they had looked to for everything was bankrupt
 The once wealthy owner of small domain had many friends neverthe- less, and they organized a small com pany to grow hemp on Inagua. In course of time Carter and his family sailed to look after the new industry. They found Inagua far worse than O desert island for the blacks and half breeds of Mathewtown did not wei. come the intrusion, as they regarded it, of Carter and his beautiful ana somewhat naughty wife. The build inge of the hemp company were sev- erul miles from Matthewtown, and Carter and his wife were as isolated as Robinson Cruso, with the exception of three blacks, who worked the hemp.
 Went Wrong from the Start.
 From the very start things went wrong There wal not enough money put into the concern in the first place, and Carter had everything to learn about hemp culture. The loneliness maddened him and so affected his wife that he feared her brain would give way Then the company gave up the ghost and Garter was left with the hemp plant on his hands---a worth less gift,
 He managed to raise a small amount bv mortgaging tho plant through friends in Florida, and with this he sent his wife in g native schooner to Nassau She took the children with her, and he was to join them there when the hemp factory could be dis- posed of in some way Carters wife

see, to find himself in such position
 In the place was nothing but a few sticks of the commonest furniture with one or two good pictures, relics evidently of his former life. on his bed we're the pictures of two children little, nuffy-haired things, but there was no picture of Mrs Garter any where Garter had seen to that when the blow fell.
 He showed his visitors over the fac tory with melancholy courtesy and set the three blacks to catching some of those gaudy painted-looking fish that abound in the Bahamas. The natter ing negroes pulled them out of sort of net they cast and putting their teeth into the quiyering things, skin ned them alive as they yanked them out.
 This performance not being particu- larly appetizing 1t was decided at the hasty conference while Carter was busy on some detail of work that if the thing could be done automatically if would be good idea to cut out his invitation to dinner-of which the fish were evidently destined to form the chief part-and induce him to come on board to that meal.
 The loneliest man in the world, who was even then getting over an attack of tropic fever, accepted with alacr- ty, somewhat to the captains surprise, for he as 8 rule refused to go aboard the steamers that stopped there May he his loneliness was gnawing at him that night, Anyway, he invested him self In once fasnionably cut dinner coat and donned a white shirt
 When you are out of the world you value these little forms all the more," he said shyly.
 After dinner he smoked a couple of cigars and sat in at little game in the smoking room. The last bale of hemp was aboard by 10 o'clock and We weighed anchor Carter dropped down into his boat and the last we saw of him in the bright moonlight that bathed the sea about his deco late island he was standing up in the stern sheets, his back to us and as 1Iipling says of Mulvaney, God knows what vultures are tearing at his heart"

Often the appearance of one's hands is marred by warts. A good way to remove these blemshes is to rub them two or three times daily with an Irish potato. Cut off one end of the pota. to and rub the wart with the pared surface. After each operation re. move a slice of the potato The appli- cation of lemon juice will sometimes cause warts to disappear. Touch them several times during the day with a camel's hair brush soaked ir the juice.

PRELIMINARY TRIAL.
Captain Baldwin Not Ready for Of
fetal Test of Balloon.

WASHINGTON Aug. 1.-THE official speed
trial of Captain Baldwin's diriglble bal
loon. was again postponed today. but n
preliminary speed trial was made with
Mr.. Curtiss and Captain Baldwin aboard.
Captain Baldwin again took westerly
course in order to become familiar with
the official course lying in the direction
of Falls church. 1t is estimated that an
average speed OF IS 7-l0ths miles was
maintained. There was large number OF
spectators. including Secretary of War
Wright and James Allen, chief signal Of
ficer present, but the Baldwin flights
are becoming such an everyday occur
renee that many of the army officers who
have been in attendance heretofore were
not present today.
Greater interest seems TO be centered
I'm the aeroplanes to be tried at Fort
Mayer by the Wright brothers and A. NJ.
Herring.
. The latter has requested an extension of
Nhrtv DAYS in the time he is to deliver
his machine. which will be granted. The
Wright aeroplane is expected any day.
Before taking his dirigible up today Cap
tain Baldwin had Mr.. Curtiss make
thorough test of the motor. A speed of
40 revolutions per minute of the pro-
peller was attained. while the airship was
in It's place under the tent, but Mr.. Cur
tiss did not permit the speed TO exceed
400 revolutions while in the air.
The airship remained aloft twenty-five
minutes, and a distance of nearly five
miles was covered. A side wind was en-
ccuntered throughout the flight and sew
eral times Captain Baldwin had to tack
much the same as the master of a ship.
An altitude of nearly 1000 feet was at
tanned.
Secretary Wright expressed his pleas
ure at the showing made in today's
flight but said: while these airships
scouting purposes. they will never revo-
lutionize warfare
