long skirt has grace impossible to
the skirt that does not reach the
ground by several inches-and it Is
a pity that it will not be confined to
these uses. The woman who for the
past year has appeared in the aston
ishingly brief skirt, six or seven
inches from the ground, will be the
first to be seen on the street with
long train clinging and dragging
about her; the woman with a. sense
of the fitness of things will confine
her long skirts to the house-where
alone they belong. In order to pre-
serve the graceful lines Of the long
skirt, only the narrowest and fsoftest
of understands can be worn-A5atin-
finished silk or crepe de chine--and
that the train may be more easily
managed this skirt is made to clA,ar
the ground by q couple Of inches.
The close-fltting skirts are seldom
trimmed except sometimes for
panel of embroidery down the front,
but many of the tunic skirts are Dor
dered with embroidery, passemen-
terie or fringe. Some of the newest
skirts show a clever combination of
two Materials cloth skirt having
the upper part composed of silk
draped about the waist and hips in
front and carried down the back in
a wide panel.
A new Paris fancy in millinery
that may prove to be a forerunner
of winter fashion is the trimming
of dark broad-brimmed straw hats
with bands Of white marabout laid
fat on the brim and falling in tails
at the back, or sometimes the mar

same arrangement will probably be
carried out in fur on felt or velvet
hats. Felt is to be less used than for
many years-that is, felt OF the ordi-

smartest hats to be worn in Pa ris
during the autumn are of black in
tnese materials trimmed with coEi,r-
ed plumes and large round feather
trimmings and pomnons.

vived the old fashion of the large

lie Serious Defects From the Hygienio
Point Of View.
The size. the style and incidentally
the cost of women's hats. says a writer
In the Berliner Umschau, have taken
up so much of the time Of the people
who make hats a study that they have
not had a moment to devote to the
head covering Of the sterner sex. Con
sidered from the hygienic point Of
view little fault can be found with the
hats Of u sisters, although some Of
them, when viewed through the glass
Of reason are unthinkable. But mems
hats are faulty from the physicians
point Of view, and a wider knowledge
of the defects of the modern hat would
add to the already large army Of bare
headed men. In order to demonstrate
which hats should be avoided a per-
fectly healthy ma was placed where
the rays Of the sun could strike him d.

The Chinese Language.

The Chinese language has no alpha
bet. Instead Of being formed from an
alphabet, Its words are either symbols
intended to represent images or are
formed by a combination Of lines OF Of
two or more such symbols. The Ian
guage Is monosyllabic. Every word Is
a root, and every root is a word, and
ancient tradition makes It out that the
founder Of the written language Of
China was one Tsang Ke, who lived
some 5000 years B. G. According to
the account, Tsang Re, while wander
ing y day In the fields, found q tor
toise, and, observing Its shell distinctly
and beautifully marked. he took 1t
home and thus formed the idea of rep
resenting the objects around him.
Looking upward, he carefully observed
the figures presented by the stars, aft.
er which he attentively considered tho
forms OF birds, mountains, rivers, etc,
and from them at length originated the
written characters. At any rate, the
Chinese language. as written. Is sim
ply a great mass Of hieroglyphics.-

The Serious Breton,

Inc serious 6f0t01s Nt
The Breton is stalwart In stature and
stern and serious in disposition. He
has hewed his life out amid the serious
things and along the rocky roads. His
bronzed face looks austere, but beneath
his blue blouse beats a heart warm and
true. The primitive simplicity Of his
life and the i~ntenseness Of his religion
give the Breton short view Of the fri
volities Of existence. He carries his
religion into his daily life and work,
and along all the roads are gaudy cru
cihxes, which the peasants neve pass
without kneeling and crossing them
selves. It Is characteristic OF all these
Brittany folk that they mind their own
business. I don't know what the result
would be II you e to try q joke on
them. I should be afraid to undertake
It. Life is a serious problem to the
Breton. It is homespun for him even
though the rest Of France may be ar
rayed in silks. He has worked out an.
existence against great odds. and 1t has
given him a character and physique
which make him notable among his
fellow countrymen.-Frank Presbrey IA

From Sundays Daily.
Yellowstone valley apples have
found g place in the Colorado market
in fact there is such a demand for
them that Yegen Bros, will ship many
car loads south this season. Tne
Billings men will take advantage Of
the unusually large apple crop this
year and in the next few days will

to follow.
This year there are more apples on
the trees in this part Of the valley
than ever before. The fact that there
was an unusual crop and a big de.
mand for the fruit in the Colorado
market was first discovered by Mr..
Yegen and he vas not slow to take
advantage Of the opportunity to lind
an outlet for the produce OF the Vel

The excellence of Colorado apple
Is far famed. They have won numer.

Probably one Of the reasons for the

that the orchardists Of the valley

The Kina's Cock Grower.

In the good old time there was an
English court official known as the
kings cock Grower. It seems a strange
Office. Why did the king require acock
Grower, and why could not the common
barn door variety serve his majesty's
purpose? The reason, as you shall see.
was that the barn door variety cannot
be depended upon for times and hours.
and he has never been persuaded to OBJ
serve Lent. Now, this was a pious Gus
tom and a religious duty. All through,
Lent the kings cock Grower crowed
instead Of calling the hours of the night
In the palace. He began on Ash
Wednesday, when he entered the hall
in which the kings supper vas served.
and then crowed the hour In the pres
ence Of the royal party. The meaning
Of the custom Is obvious. It was only
one OF the many ways In which the
history Of the Christian religion was
brought home to the minds OF people
before the reading Of the gospel IN the
v~ernacular. The Office was continued
down to the year 1S22-London Queen.

From Sundays Daily.
D. ]. Mcmahon, an officer Of the
Lake Basin Land company, which in
retailing the Cab Thomas tract in the
Lake Basin. about 80 miles north OF
Billings, was in the city yesterday
with q party Of land buyers from I'LL
nois and Indiana.
The land buyers came on the regu-
lar twice a month excursions which
lAe Northern Pacific and Milwaukee
railroads run from farming sections OF
the middle west and made selections
on the Lake Basin tract.
Mr.. Mcmahon has brought scores
of homeseekers to this section OF the
state during the past few months and
already ore than 10000 acres Of the
Thomas tract has been sold to actual
settlers by the company. with which.
Mr.. Mcmahon Ia connected. The com
pany is connected. The company ex-
poets to dispose Of the balance Of the
land to actual settlers this fall.
Mr.. Mcmahon is connected with
four other colonization companies
which are disposing of land in this
section Of the state. He stated last
night that the Mussellshell Valley
Land company, of which he is a di-
rector, has disposed Of much Of the
Murphy tract in lots Of 10000 to 49,
900 acres to retailers and that these
retailers are settling the lands rap
idly.
The companies with which Mr.. Nc
Mahon is associated have 500 agents
in the middle states and have a corps
of travelling land statesmen. It was
largely through their efforts that the
railroad companies granted excursion
rates to this section OF the state,
which make q difference Of about $l2

BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS MAY.
BRING UP SANITY QUESTION.
he MUST APPEAR
Probable Plan Of the Attorneys--If
This e Done Il i Believed Il May
Have = Moral Effect in the State Of
New York.

Pittsburg, Aug. 8.-Possibly the
most important development today in
the bankruptcy case Of Harry K.
Thaw and one that indicates better
than anything else the plans Of Thaw's
counsel, was the declaration BY for
mer Governor William IA. Stone, the
local counsel Of the young litigant,
that he is proceeding on the assump-
ton that Thaw Is zane now and that
the verdict that cleared him Of the
murder Of Stanford White on the
ground Of insanity referred only to
his mental condition at the time of the
crime. It is said Thaw's friends seek
to have him brought here within 60
days, when they will ask that he be
declared sane, such an action would
not invalidate his commitment, but
would, 1t is believed, have q great
moral effect on the New York courts.
Referee in Bankruptcy William r.
Blair today notified Thaw to appear
here on August 81, to be adjudged q
bankrupt. The appearance will be en-
tered by this counsel. former Governor
Stone, and Thaw will be kept in
Poughkeepsie until later developments
necessitate his presence here.
1t is said that Thaw must attend;
at least n meeting Of his creditors.
The bankruptcy proceedings will
now take the following course: Coun-
sci for Thaw will appear before Ref
in Bankruptcy William R. Blair
on August 81, when the petitioner.wi
be declared q bankrupt. and within
80 days thereafter there will be q
meeting OF the creditors.
The claims of all the creditors must
then be filed and Roger O'Mara, as
receiver for Thaw, will contest all
the claims now In dispute.
After their claims have been appor
toned, the creditors may raise the
question of Thaw's sanity at the time
the petition was fled and the federal
court will then appoint a commission
to examine the bankrupt.
Governor Stone today denied the
statements attributed to him that the
bankruptcy proceedings would be q
great blow to Evelyn Nesbit Thaw,
and would shut of her demands. MI.
Stone said that Mrs. Harry K. Thaw
could not be considered as q creditor.
but that her income would not be i'm
paired. He further stated that the
proceedings would safeguard Harry
X. Thaw's income from the Thaw es-
tate, as all that is available under
the law is his personal estate J.
A close friend OF the Thaw family
who is in q position to know. today
said that the income OF Evelyn Neshit
Thaw would not be affected BY the
bankruptcy proceedings. According to
this information, after the arst trial,
! trust fund was commenced for
young Mrs. Thaw from which she de-
rives an income Of about $4,000 9
year. This fund was created by Mrs.
Mary 6. Thaw. Harry's mother. and
for this reason cannot be declared as
asset of II. X. Thaw.
