from the lower peninsula of Michigan
bay into Lake Michigan 100 feet lower
than that at Fort Wayne. Whereupon
the water was diverted from that
channel and all carried away by the
Saginaw bay. Lake Michigan and Chi
cago river outlet. The shore line Of
the glacial lake formed at this stage
of glacial recession can be traced as
distinctly as a railroad embankment
the entire distance from the vicinity
of Buffalo around the south and west
shores of Lake Erie to the head wa.
tiers of Saginaw bay, where it opens by
perfectly distinct channel into Grand
river. Euclid avenue, in the city of
Cleveland, is built upon this shore
line. The great drainage canal from
Chicago into the Illinois has availed
itself of this old outlet, the bottom of
which was only about Is feet higher
than the level of Lake Michigan.
Earlier glacial outlets farther west
are clearly traceable from Green Bay
into the Fox river and from the west
ern end of Lake Superior at Duluth
through the Chippewa river into the
Mississippi, little way below St.
Paul. The remarkable level gravel
terraces high above the lake at Du.
luth, so convenient for streets and
drives, are the shore lines of this tenn.
| porary lake at the west end of Lake
Superior.

TuIIe Rufus.

Any really good seamstress should
find it possible to make one of the
new tulle rufus, which are so popular
this season. tbs necessary, of course,
to plat the material so that it may be
tackled in the middle to form the pier
rot fullness. To do this plating it is
not necessary to haste it. The best
method is to fold it in the proper way
and pin it in place, then, when fin
ished, lay it under heavy book until
the foundation is ready. This founda-
ton is usually piece Of ribbon, two
inches broad, and the double-plaited
tulle is fastened on this in a straight
line of stitching. The bow, which
hangs down the back or on the side,
should be attached separately, for if
the end of the foundation is used, it
will spoil the effect of the ruff.
The best way to make a ruff is to
borrow store-made one from a friend
and follow the plating and the way it
is sewn.
With net, one might use a warm
iron to form the creases, but with
tulle, the iron will spoil the dressing
and take all the life from thu material,
70 that it would be bes, to use q
weight for creasing. -. IL

Easily Made Trimmings.

One of the most effective and the
cheapest sort of trimming may be
made by using bias bands of Arabian
satin sewed up on the machine over
thick white cord. 1t is then twisted
in different shapes, for it is very sup.
pie, so that it forms bow knots and cir.
cular designs on the evening or after,
noon gown. OF course, the satin is too
dressy to W ear on suit or morning
dress, but With a coat of filet net a
more attractive trimming could not be
found. The same idea is carried out
in footing, which is shirred very full
over cord This will sometimes take
the place Of braid.
Another inexpensive trimming is to
embroider cotton canvas in a cross
stitch, whid h takes a very short time
to do. hen finished it may be ap.
piled h ma ny attractive ways to sum.
mer gowns.

TRIMMINGS FOR THE HATS.
All Sorts Of Ornaments Are in Vogue
This Season.

All kinds of fruit have a revival,
peaches, plums and cherries in natural
and fancy hues, branches of blackber.
ries and currants, traWberries and
the small wild cherries are carelessly
fastened on hat brims and crowns in
a most tempting way.
Masses of small tight rosebuds,
placed on the sharply turned-up brims
Of small hats, or set closely around
the beret crowns, produce an extreme
ly good effect
Velvet and silk geraniums in their
natural tones, set up high, conforming
to the aigrette idea, or in garlands
around the crown, are used in great
quantities.
Very long and narrow pheasant
quilts and those made of lophophore
plumage. slightly curving and having
as finish a head of the same or in a
contrasting color. with jeweled eyes
are frequently the sole trimming OF
the very large sailors worn this sea
son.
Fuchsia is vivid shade of great
beauty, showing the same purplish un
dertone as the fiower-Vogue.

KEEP DUST FROM PICTURES.
Fine Paintings Ruined for Lack Of
Little Care.

Almost all pictures that hang from
the walls IN the rooms of our houses
have their fronts protected by pane
OF glass, While their backs are cleaned
once week, perhaps, of the dust that
daily accumulates there.
In some homes it falls to the lot If
framed and hanging pictures to have
their backs cleaned of an uncommon
ly thick coat of dust but once every
housekeeping time.
Where the dust gets through the
thin crevices left between the thin
boards placed on the back of framed
pictures it is sure to play havoc. In
time 1t will spoil the picture by discol-
oring the cardboard mounting as we'll
as the picture itself to such an extent
as to make the photograph almost un-
presentable
A good picture Trainer will always
paste a paper of good thickness and
durability over the backs of frames.
after the picture has been placed in it,
in order to avert having the dust get
in to do it's destructive work.
Many old and valued pictures, hand
ed down through generations, which
the families would not have parted
with at any cost, have gone slowly to
destruction through dust.
The attempts to restore them came
too late, as the likenesses were so
far despoiled as to be unrecoverable.
In many homes this work of the
household demons, dust and dampness.
is going on while the very persons
who within a decade or two from to.
day will be lamenting the loss of their
favorite pictures are looking on and
even remarking at the discoloring
process.
Not only is the paper pasted over
the back of the frame necessary pro-
lection for the picture, but it pre-
sents far heater appearance.
1t will not eliminate the necessity
of having the thin boards to hold the
picture in place. These are used in
order that the picture may be held
fiattened against the glass which pro-
tects the front of it. Were these
boards taken off it would not be long
until the picture would draw away
from the glass in spots, according
to the weak spots of the cardboard,
making the whole present an awkward
appearance

ice had reached its farthest limit and
began to melt back, the northerly d.
rection of the drainage could not be
resumed until the ice had all melted
away. Thus for long periods the drain
age of the great lakes, which now
passes down the st. Lawrence river
was turned over to swell the volume
of the SusQuehanna and the Ohio
rivers, while all the drainage that now
enters Hudson bay was turned over
into the valley of the Missouri and the
Mississippi. This, anyone can see
from slight study of the map, must
have been the case. 1t has been 4
most interesting work to biologists to
find these actual outlets of glacial
drainage, and to trace the effects of
this great addition of volume to the
south-flowing streams Of the north.
In general the effects of this great
increase of the volume of the water
poured into the valleys Of the con-
necticut, Hudson, SusQuehanna, Ale
gheny, Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri
rivers are evident in the extensive
gravel terraces which line the banks
of all these streams and of their
northern tributaries.
The terraces of the Connecticut
river have long been famous, consist
ing of deposits of gravel and sand ris-
ing upon either bank of the river from
so to 100 feet or more above present
high water mark. In the Hudson val
ley they exist as brick clays, extensive
ly worked in various places above
New York city, but spreading out into
extensive gravel deposits where the
Hudson river comes out from the
Adirondack mountains. The sandy
plains Of Saratoga were spread out
during that stage Of the glacial period,
while immense streams of water were
turned over into the Hudson valley
through Lake Champlain and Lake
George. The Champlain canal has ap.
propriated portion of this glacial
channel, and passes from the lake to
the Hudson river with a lockage OF
less than so feet.
Before the ice had melted from
the Mohawk valley there was an enor.
nous amount of glacial drainage car.
ried off through the Finger lakes and
over the higher passes leading into
the Susquehanna valley. The stream
passing through Seneca lake over the
site of Watkins and entering the sus'
Quehanna at Households was specially
noteworthy; while the marks of the
glacial floods in the SusQuehanna val
ley Are clearly seen at Harrisburg and
other places farther down.
Before the ice had melted from cen.

Ice Is rock. At any rate, so long

OF the region. But upon near ap.
proach it will turn out to be an ice

which has been washed out upon it in
sufficient quantity to support vegeta-
ton. Large forests are growing upon
