Hat TRIMMINGS.

Tulips and sheafs Of beautiful iris
blooms are prominent among the flow
er trimmings on the new spring hats;
also wall flowers and stocks, acacia
blossoms, wistaria. s~weetpeas. pansies
and violets. Many of the new flower
turbans are composed of the latter.
For illustration there is a charming
flower turban shown composed of vio-
let's of a reddish purple shade. On
the left side is a bow of red velvet
which blends admirably with the red
dish purple tone in the violets.
Fruit trimmings are still in favor
with the designers Of millinery, and
fruits, large and small, big black
grapes, white grapes, plums and
peaches, all luscious in co%lorings. are
used alone or combined oddly with
flowers. In a smart shop a huge turban
seen recently was of black straw. Sur
rounding the turban were clusters of
large English grapes. There were 9th
err models in the same shop with fruit
trimmings Of n sort or another.

contract for the structure was let to

however, defaulted in August, 1906,

Of ten square miles and an average
depth of seventy feet. Its capacity ex-

cut from the solid rock.
The purpose of this structure is to
control for all time the great floods Of
the Shoshone river and to provide an
ample water supply for the irrigation
of more than 100000 acres of excep-

A Pert Reply.

A story told of Sir John Fisher and
Lord Charles Beresford when both
We're stationed in the Mediterranean
will bear repeating. A competition
had been held at Malta for a prize
annually presented by Sir John. 1t is
known as the Malta cup, and, having
so far always been won by a crew
belonging to the admiral's flagship, it
was fully expected by Sir John that
this record would be maintained. On
this particular occasion, however, a
crew of the Families. commanded by
Lord Charles Beresford, carried it of
instead. A day or two later the feet
was practicing maneuvers, and Ad-
miral Fisher, whose reputation as a
stern disciplinarian is we'll known,
was dissatisfied with the performance
Of the Families. He signaled accord
ingly to its commander the message.
Explain your reason for being late
in executing maneuver." Without a

n ademade Ties.

Rich neckties may be made on silk
In darned stitch, but they are for the
man with a leaning toward the curl
GUS in ties. Don't thrust them upon
even the brother Of palmer taste.
They are too beautiful to be wasted.
Quite evidently a castoff tie has
served as pattern and as model. The
construction and workmanship are
perfect.
The background material is soft,
heavy armure silk with a curious nov
city weave resembling the surface Of
h~uckaback linen toweling.
The darning, which runs across the
tie, has been worked through the loose
stitch in the e a before the tie has
been made up.
This gives the appearance Of rich
silk of brocade effect and not that
homemade or needlework look which
man generally scorns.

A Cruel Joke.

Oswald, a witty and original Pari-
sian, had a mania for practical jok-
ing. He was very amusing to his
friends, but when his talents were ex-
erted to avenge some wrong there
was more bitterness than fun in his
wit. One evening when a man who
had not treated him politely gave a re-
ception he revenged himself cruelty.
The a was slightly deformed. All
the hunchbacks Of Paris, 500 in num-
Der, presented themselves at his re-
ception. They had received notices
from Oswald that If they should go to
this address on this evening they
would learn of a legacy which had
been left them.

PAPER CAR WHEELS.

Safer and Stronger but More Costly
Than Other Wheels.
We naturally think OF paper as
lacking In strength aud Of
q paper article as being fragile. so are
alarmed when an encyclo-
pedic friend remarks that the wheels
of the a on which we are slipping
along at the rate of a mile a minute
are made of paper. This opportunity
to be alarmed occurs. however. on
only the best of railways. as paper
car wheels. though safer and longer
lived than any others. are also more
expensive. The principal advantage
Of wheels made from this unpromising
material is found in the fact that they
are not injured by the violent vibra-
lions to which a wheels are SUBJ
jected.
The paper used in the manufacture
of these wheels Is known as calen.
dered rye straw board, or thick paper.
It Is sent to the al wheel shops In
circular sheets measuring twenty-five
to forty inches In diameter. and over
each Of these sheets IL spread an even
coating Of dour paste. A dozen sheets
are placed one on the other and the
lot subjected In hydraulic pressure Of
500 tons or more After two hours
pressure these sheets, which have now
become a solid block, are kept for q
week in a drying room at a tempera.
ture Of 120 degrees. after which a
number Of blocks are pasted together,
pressed and dried for a second week.
A third combination Of layers is then
made, after which there is an entire
month of drying. The final block con-
tains 120 to 100 sheets of the original
paper and is four and one-half to Eve
inches In thickness. All resemblance
to paper has been lost, the block in
weight, density and solidity approx
mating the finest grained. heaviest
metal.
To complete the wheel there are re-
quired a steel tire, a cast iron hub,
wrought iron plates to protect the pa
per on either side and two circles of
bolts, one set passing through the
fange of the tire, the other through
the fange Of the hub and both sets
through the paper. The paper blocks
are turned on a lathe, which also
reams out the center hole for the hub,
Two coats of paint are applied to keep
out moisture. The various parts are
next assembled, and the paper car
wheel is complete.
AS may be readily understood, paper
which has received the treatment de.
scribed may be used for almost any
purpose for which metal or wood is
used If not too much exposed to damp
ness, and to all practical purposes II
