OUR FINEST NAVAL CRAFT.

The new torpedo boat destroyer Flusser, which has just had it's trial and made 31.03 knots, which is equiva- lent to about thirty-five miles an hour, and it is conceded that she can over haul any boat in the American navy. England has several torpedo destroy CTS with three times the tonnage and five to seven knots faster.
 The Boston Transcript explains that the boat is named after Lieutenant Commander Charles w. Flusser. who was killed in the defence of Plymouth. N. C., where with three wooden ships he fought the rebel ironclad Alber- marie. One of Flusser's squadron the Southfield, was sunk, a second. the Bombshell, was captured, and his flag ship, the Miami, was compelled to re- treat with F1usser dead on the deck. The gallant way in which Flusser thpew his wooden vessels against an 1ronclad on the chance of disabling the latter by some lucky shot has given his name a place in the annals of the navy more conspicuous than that 1t holds in the broad history of the nation. The Albermarle after worst ing various wooden vessels pitted against her, was finally destroyed in her berth by the dashing Cushing, a man fit to do such things and to look death in the eye without a culver of an eveIid

nlseRuNrLEMENr.

The disgruntled republicans of the west are filling the air with denuncia- tions of the tarif. with threats and po-
 iitical predictions of defeat. While party men in Iowa and Minnesota are decrying their party, the demo- cratic organs have had a new hope re- vived and are telling their readers that democratic house of representatives may be chosen in consequence of these disturbances next year. There does not seem to be any doubt that many republicans who are charged with dis loyalty to their constituents will fail of a renomfnation, and some who have the political pull to secure nomina- tion will doubtless fail of reelection. The force of this republican disaffee- tion is likely to spend itself in the fall elections. If Iowa and Minnesota should line up against the republicans and remain out of the republican polit- ical family until after 1912, that would not defeat Taft. The president will not dodge the issue; he will talk tariff on his western trip.
 The fact is Taft has been tested and has not been found wanting. He stands for the progress and reform which has been inaugurated and the people are not likely to handicap him by sending majority of democrats to Washington, or to sacrifice all these policies by putting the democrats into power.
 In 1912 Taft will be popular enough and strong enough to carry the coun- try for a second term, should he de- sire it.

THE LATEST sWINDLERs.

The swindlers about New England today are playing a new role-that of heinz the sons of distinguished lit- erary people who entertain with fine talk. modestly tell a little hard luck story and borrow a small amount. A man at Portsmouth represented that he was the son of Richard Watson Guilder, and another at Boston. rep- resenting that he was his nephew (these may. be the same operator) made call at household of literary people, told them much of the news of the Century office the Glider family and literary people in New York gen erally and seemed on his way to see other people in Boston known in literary circles. Several days later he called again to say that in returning from York Beach, he had met with some financial loss, and would have to borrow enough money to get back to New York. which would be promptly returned. He was accordingly supplied with seven dollars. Nothing has vet been heard from him and the tempo rary loan was made on Wednesday, Several other cases have come to light of skilful impersonators of we'll known people or their relatives. in which an investment suggestion has appeared before the acquaintanceship closed
 This easy means of heecing the un- wary is likely to be practiced in other cities, and 1t would be well for we'll read people to be on their guard. The amounts are small, but the trick is doubtless continuous.

ToQUE THE POPULAR HAT FOR
 AUTUMN.
Elderly Women Will Rejoice at New
 Fall Display.

Elderly women will rejoice when the new fall millinery is displayed, for the word has been sent from Paris that the toque is to be the most popular hat for autumn. and will be worn by all women, whether they are 16 or 50 years of age.
 'Toque and turbans comprise the lat est millinery, and this latter is quite as becoming to middle aged women as the former-more so, in some cases notably when women carry themselves well. and prefer smart clothes to pretty ones, and consider being we'll groomed of first importance
 This latter type never looks so well as when dressed in a stylish ,up-to- date urban.
 So much for the shapes. The cover ings are to be largely of velvet, terry and morie, either alone or two in combination.
 Velvet will probably be used more this season than it has been for sev- eral years past, the large velvet bow worn so much on hats this summer being evidently the harbinger.
 So far the new models display whole crowns of velvet.
 Almost invariably these are in soft tam effects. the brims being covered perfectly flat with heavy silk or ter ry.
 A new fabric that is being intro duced for hat coverings is called hat ter's plush
 This is heavier than velvet. hut not so harsh as the genuine plush. If drapes much better than plush and has the depth of tone and sheen of the heavy kind, so that no doubt it will be popular

ough1y. If light colored wine is de- sired, pick the grapes off the stalks. If red wine is preferred, put the stalks with the crushed grapes. No yeast need be added as fermenta- ton begins in a day or two and con- tinues vigorously up to the seventh or eighth day. After about two weeks the yeast on the surface disappears and the liquid clears up. The wine should now be drawn off carefully. Put it into keg, filling to the bung- hole. over which should be laid three or four thicknesses of cheesecloth. Dur ing the succeeding month the keg should be filled up to the bunghole every four days, some of the wine be- ing kept for this purpose Then a bung should be carefully fitted and driven in tight. In six months the wine will be ready to bottle. This should be done carefully to prevent disturbing the settings. If you wish sparkling wine, put two Jumps of su- gar in each bottle. Tie the corks se- curely and store the bottles on their sides.
