During the middle ages the cities Of

During the middle ages the cities of
Italy, France, Germany and the Meth
erlands erected similar monuments
expressive of the love and pride ava.
kened by their newly obtained free

fury the German people are express
ing their pride in the fatherland and
the imperial aspirations of Germany
in monuments Of the same permanent
character and artistic splendor. Capt.
tai cities like Berlin, Munich and
Dresden, as well as more commercial
cities like Dusseldorf, Mannheim,
Frankfort, Cologne, Wiesbaden and
Stuttgart are vying with one another
In the beautiful, the orderly and the

Important as is the honesty and
the efficiency of the German city, it is
the bigness Of vision, holiness of exc

future that are most amazing. Ger

q LII In the merry month of June,
"A the fower-laden leghorn hat bios
4 a SONS forth, with the roses and
other winsome things of young
summer. This, and the beautiful hair
braid hats are perennial favorites, not
more or less, but always more popu-
lar. Every season the clever milliner
who delights in these really beautiful
shapes, must bethink her of some new
touch in trimming, some new turn to
br1m, or some novel feature in man
ner of decorating, in order that the
summer girl may not tire of these
hats and run after new goods whose
virtues are untried in the realm Of
millinery.
Ever since the oldest modiste can
remember, June has seen the heads
of fair wearers crowned with these
staple shapes, trimmed with roses
and ribbon. This year the new touch
is found in velvet facings and in vel
vet-covered crowns. New ideas are
shown also in silk or tulle roses and
in the way in which brims are turned
or shaped.
One factor In the success of their
hats, beside their beauty, is their
durability. One does not buy a leg
horn or hair-braid hat for one sum-
mer, but for several. Therefore, it
falls to the lot of the milliner to re-
model and retrim the same shape sew
eral times. Her chances of turning
out something pleasing and success
full were never better than they are

"Pernicious, slovenly habit" says
the neat housekeeper. Perhaps, but
one that Is common practise while
utensils are hot and fingers sensitive.
One housekeeper has broken her
maids of this habit by providing them
with litter that Is always in evil

She makes an eight-inch square OF
several thicknesses of old tea towel

bestos paper or thickness of canvas.
The edges are turned in, stitched, and
to one corner is fastened a long tape
with buttonhole at other end.
BY means of buttonhole, the holder
can be fastened to button of apron
band and the litter kept in apron
pocket until needed.

HIGH Tide on the Arkaasaw

Senator Owen of Oklahoma did not
altogether like the river and harbor
bill. He thought his state might have
been treated a little more literally in
connection with its streams. During
his speech on the subject he several
times referred to the Arkansaw as a
stream deserving consideration.
What is the depth of water in the
Arkansaw," asked Senator Gallinger.
There is forty feet of water at
high tide" promptly responded Owen.
When pressed to explain high tide
on the Arkansaw" he refused, but said
that when the tide was up" the Ar.
kansaw was not only 40 feet deep, but
several miles wide. There are times"
admitted Owen, when it is not SC
deep, nor SO wide"

GERMAN CITIES IN THE LEAD
Permanent Character and Artistic
SpIendor Mark the Centers Of
the Fatherland,

Il know of no cities in the modern
world which compare with those
which have arisen in Germany during
the past 20 years. There are none in
Great Britain, from which country Off
cial delegations are constantly cross
ing the North sea to study the achieve
ments of the German city. There are
none in France, in which country the
building of cities has made but little
progress since the achievements of
Baron Haussmann made Paris the
beautiful city that it is.
There have been three great peri
DDS in which the building Of cities
inspired the thoughts and dreams of
men. In the age of the Antonines the
Roman people gave themselves with
enthusiasm to the establishment Of
their cities. The great public struc-
lures, the temples, amphitheaters and
palscas then erected have withstood
the Tavages of time and still remain
the wonder Of subsequent centuries.

Penrose Springs a Surprise.

The senate postoff1ce committee had
been considering the postoffice appro-
priatfon bill for several weeks, when
Senator Penrose came into the senate
and reported the bill without amend
ntent. Not within the memory of any
one about the senate has an appro-
priation bill been reported or passed
that was not amended in some par
ticulars by the senate. At first it was
thought that Penrose must have made
a mistake, but investigation showed
that such was not the case, It indi-
Gated that the house must have con-
sidered and prepared the bill very
carefully, or that the members of the
senate committee concluded that it
was useless to offer any amendments.
