 Hat pins are enormous about the head and terrifcally long about the pin, necessarily, with hats the size they are now.
 It Is decreed that lines must be very straight up and down, and that neither skirt nor jacket shall show the slightest coquetry.
 PonRees come in many new weaves and are in great favor, especially In the twiils and suiting effects in which they are now produced.
 feathers, wings. flowers and velvet loops are the trimmings most in favor but very little of the much-talked-of silk ribbon is used.
 With the long sleeve has appeared the new loose chain bracelet with pendant of artistic design which falls loosely over the sleeve.
 Paris dress-builders have refused to endorse the cult of the small waist. the new models being made more with a view to natural grace.

 The Napoleon collar is a feature of the new garments. It is made of the same or contrasting material, gold embroidery effects being very fashion. able.
 The newest belt is made of suede in American Indian style. fringed with thong leather on the lower edge and laced it's entire length with Venetian heads.
 Tn spite of their tremendous run. buttons are still good style especially when they are of pearl and worked in- to the embroidery scheme of the CO.'S tune.
 Some of the new blouses are tucked all over. bodice and sleeve alike, and finished with quaint little Puritan col- lars and cuffs. edged with lace frillS.
 The voiles are less talked of among the fabrics than for some seasons, but their usefulness for general all-around wear insures them against retirement.
 The patent leather hat is the latest conner at the milliner's. It Is made tn scuttie bonnets for automobllists. and in mushrooms, sailors and similar shapes.
 Lingerie dresses are being made of the sheerest null without bit of lace of any kind, but covered with a bold doral design done in white and richly raised.

Authors Homes la arasne.

Lewiston Journal.
 William Dean Howells has long had his summer home at kittery. his house being surrounded by fine old garden, In which the author has often been seen at work, while his library is an old barn, set In the midst of an apple orchard. George s. Wasson also has q beautiful home at Kittery, while q lit- tie farther up the coast. at York hee. Dor. is the summer home of Thomas Nelson Page. This beautiful place ts situated on high point overlooking the sea, and to York harbor, too. comes John Fox every summer to be the guest of Mrs. Page. At Kennebunk- port one sees the beautiful summer home of Margaret Deiand, and Merl- deth Nicholson. the Indian author, also has a home at Kennebunkport. or course. there are many noted writers at the islands in Portland harbor. Cia- ra Louise Burnham. who summers at Baileys. Island, and whose splendid books have appealed to hundreds. Is. of course. well known throughout Maine. While Kate Douglas Wlggin has not home on the coast, yet she, too, prefers the Maine atmosphere. and her home at Hollis is too well known to need especial mention. But before other Maine authors began to realize the opportunities to be found on our Maine coast. Harriet Beacber Stowe selected Orris Island as a spot rich in material. while our own Whittier, in his Dead Ship of Harpswell," long ago recognized the romance and poetry to be gleaned from our shores.

Intelligence of Crows.

London UIobH.
 If NJ. Cunisset- -Carnot's observations are correct. the crow is one of the most Intelligent of birds. Normandy is a place where crows love to co:Rregate. and a Paris contemporary reproduceS M, Cunisset- Carrots experiences.to the effect that in 1876 the first maneuvers took place in Normandy after the war. that many crows who saw the troub- lous times of 1870 were alive in 1878.
 These birds watched the soldiers at a distance of about 200 yards. but when in firing the men were extended on the ground the birds would hover about at quarters so colse as seven feet. evidently, in the opinion of the observer, mindful of the tirAes they had enjoyed six years before and if, expectation of a further feast.

Effeet l,pon ForeIrn Minds.

Among the many mlHchievous results
Of President Rooseyelts impractical
opinions az expressed In his mum
erous messages and the groaNly In
temperate language In which they
were expressed. Ia the erroneous Inn
preston as 20 conditions In this coun.
try which they inEtii In the minds OF
people OF other countries. A striking
instance OF this Is afforded by the
eommentof writer In the London Sat
urday Review upon one Of the Prewi-
dents recent ebullitions There was
another subject on which Mr. Roose-
Welt touched" said the writer. which
have 40 often called attention 10 it,
namely, the administration OF justice
In the United States. This was by
far the best passage In she message.
because Mr.. Roosevelt says plainly
that very many American judges are
corrupt and many afraid to do their
duty. That in many States of the
Union II should be impossible TO se-
cure the conviction OF criminals that
I'm most States commercial fraud
should eajoy perfect immunity; that
In all States the law OF libel should
be- a dead letter, are serious blots upon
American civilization"
Ordinarily the fact OF such an Inn
preston Of conditions I'm this country
being held by a foreigner would be
set down to gross ignorance and de-
rided accordingly but this uniformed
foreigner holds up the President OF
the United States as his authority for
believeing this country TO be the abode
OF lawlessness and the honle OF def
snt criminals and corrupt judges.
From n close reading OF the public
deliveranees of the President he
formed his uneompIimentary opinion.
Snd who can say that he Is not sincere
In his expressions and fully justified
In believing AZ he does?
Such are the evils imposed upon the
country by The erratic and intemper-
ate fnlminations of the President

Each Of these ponds was inhabited by
large number Of frogs. The smaller
pond dried up. aud its inhabitants
started In a body for the lower and
larger posld. They were met In the
Intervening space by a party from the
larger pond, and fierce and long con.

Rain water Good for Hair.

Most women do moi realize the ben
eficial effect which dampness has on
the hair. BY dampness, however, IS
not meant the shampoo with soap and
water which many women indulge in
so frequently that their scalp is dried
and their hair made to turn gray. The
dampness which gives gloss to the hair
u.s. on the contrary. the result OF a
much simpler method. II consists
simply of spraying the hair and then
letting II dry In the sun. Best OF all
for this purpose Is rain water, and
one woman who Is noted for having
the most beautiful hair in Newport is
said 10 owe the possession to the ato-
mi1er of rain water which Is kept on
her dresser. The spraying OF the hair
may be done each day, and the best
time to do II is in the morning. Mois-
ture is, in fact, necessary to the hair,
for this reason a walk in the rain Is
the best thing possible for the gloss
on feminine locks. After each dam
pening, whether got in the rain OF by
more artificial methods, II must not
be forgotten to shake out the hair and
dry thoroughly. II this Is followed by
conscientious rubbing of each strand
with piece Of thin SILK an extra lus-
ter will be obtained.

WON'T BUY WORTHLESS Pixies.
Roads Commission Decline to Pur.
chase Liberty Turnpike.


Members Of the State Good Roads
commission were strongly urged on
wednesday by delegation from Balii-
more county to take over the Liberty
turnpike A proposition was made
BY the delegation representing the
owners OF the turnpike to turn over
the entire property as Il stands to the
state for $4,000 or else to remove the
stone now on the roadbed and turn
II over to the state at no cost what
ever.
Al the very outset Governor Croth-
ers told the county people that the
commission was not disposed to paw
anything for the road. He suggested
that II they could come back later with
the offer to turn the property over to
the state free OF all charges. some
steps might be taken to improve Il out
OF the $4,000, 900 fund.
II developed at the hearing that the
turnpike now is not a paying propo-
sition; that there is no immediate hope
that II will pay; that II IL worn out
and In bad condition; that II Is SER
viceable neither as a summer nor
winter road. but that Il trayerses
valuable section OF the county and Is
the most direct route toward Frederick
and the West.
This IL the first formal appeal to be
made TO the commission to take over
a private toll road to which a definite
and fixed price is attached. The fact
that II was turned down completely.
so far as the $4,000 Is concerned, In
dicates that the commission does not
propose 70 pay high prices for any
OF the nonpaying toll roads which may
be absorbed In the general road
