THIS WOMAN LOVES BAD BOYS.
A Teacher Who Changes lncorrigibIes

WEATHER KEPT PRICES DOWN

At the opening of the season we
were told the prices of linen and cot
ton material would certainly advance
because the demand for these fabrics
was almost unprecedented. In the
case of linen, the merchants We're
afraid the supply would really give

able to supply their contracts. But

PARAsoLs GROW IN BEAUTY
Designs Become Mors Individual and
Elaborate as Season Progresses.

New York-In no department
of dress are women more likely
80 suffer embarrassment in choosing
from the greet number of models pre-
scented to them than in that of para
so't Those who have Il keen appre-
oiai, I. of the beauties of fine needle
W ,rk will no doubt choose as an ac-
compartment to their airy summer
frocks white linen parasols decorated
with hand embroidery. They can
have the embroidery done in pure
white or in colors, as they prefer, and
it may consist of nothing more than
scallops worked around the edge and
simple border or it may extend in
an elaborate but conspicuous design
over the entire parasol.
1t is entertaining to observe how
forms of Ornamentation originally in
tended for some specific purpose find
their way into all parts of womanly
attire. The silk flowers, for instance,
so often seen on the most exquisite
productions of the milliner hav been
pressed into the service of the parasol
makers. One model. which only u
daring woman would use, had a silk
rose Of more than average size stuck
in each section. In another small silk
buds in relief used in connection with
narrow bias bands applied in a wavy
pattern made a beautiful and quite
practical decoration.
There are some indications that in
their zeal for identifying parasols the
designers may lose sight of the use
for which they were at first intend
ed.
The seductions of English embroid-
cry, tres a jour, as the French say,
they have not been able to resist in
the construction of these articles, the
object of which is supposed to be
to shut out and not to let in the day.
One white silk parasol was seen with
large eyelets over the greatest part of
it, which one can easily imagine be-
ing penetrated by many n tantalizing
ray of sunshine. In another model of
white silk overlaid with lace, bits of
the silk were cut out under the me-
dallions in the lace and the holes
filled in wit hchiffon. These semi
transparent spots of chiffon and lace
could not be the most effectual pro-
lection against the sun, though they
might be better than holes.

LIGHTNING DoESN'S STRIKE IN
81 EEP

Dr. Brewer should have advised
those who are nervous in a thunder
storm to not merely go TO bed. but to
sleep There is a popular tradition
that lightning will not strike anyone
who is asleep.
The folk lore of lightning is extern
sive and peculiar According to one
school the splinters of a tree struck
by lightning are an infallible specific
for the toOthache. But the most
pleasing superstition is that which
used to be cherished by the boys Of
Yorkshire village. who believed that
if they mentioned the lightning imme-
diately after a flash the seat of their
trousers would be torn out. No boy
could be induced to try the expert

EVENING GOWNS.

For an evening gown of finer ma
terials, use satin, crep. meteor, crepe
de chine or the sheer chiffon. which
is as thin as yelling chiffon. The
long. flowing lines, now the distin-
gushing feature of a really elegant
evening gown. can be best gained by
these materials. Cut the neck with
a square or V effect and outline
it with an embroidery studded with
near Jewels or seed pearls. Austral-
ian rhinestones are used freely for
this purpose. Chiffon is used as an
overdress for silk and satin gowns
and an overdress is often finished
with a band of velvet AROUND the
edge. The range Of colors fashion
able for evening gowns is wide. run
ming from pale tints to gorgeous col

HARMONY IN FURNISHINGS.

In furnishing a home. harmony
should be the keynote. 1t is better
to have inexpensive furnishings which
harmonic than to fill the house with
costly articles the coiors of which
are so inharmonious that they seem
to have perpetual quarrel with each
other. If the ceiling of the room is
high. do not use striped paper. as that
will increase the apparent height. but
use plain paper with a border If you
already have the rugs for the house,
then select paper in tints which har-

WHISKY IN A TREE TRUNK.

While cutting down a tree on his
premises recently George Salley, re-
siding near Orangeburg. S. c., made a
most unusual find. Mr.. Salley no.
ticed something shining in one of the
chips that flew off He found it to be
a piece of glass that came from
within the tree.
The small piece of glass was
Clipped off a bottle which was i'm
bedded i'm the tree and the bottle was
full of very fine old whisky. The tree
has a peculiar growth, Three of the
branches grew out about six feet
above the ground, making at one
time a small ledge. Mr.. Salley's the
DRY is that during the war the quart
of whisky was placed in this place.
The branches of the tree afterward
grew together. completely enclosing
the bottle.

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG.

There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette of the flag.
When President William Mckinley
was assassinated thousands of loyal
Americans raised at half-mast over
their places of business flags and let
them fly by night and day until they
We're worn out, says the Washington
Post. They undoubtedly thought that
they were showing respect to McKin-
ley's memory, but they were not
showing proper respect to the flag.
The United States government dis
played at that time its flags at half
mast from sunrise to sunset from the
presidents death until his burial. The
government regulations provide that
on the death of a president in office
its flag shall be displayed at half
mast only one day.
In memory of the 5000 Union SOL
ders who lost their lives during the
civil war, on May 80, Memorial Day,
each year the United States displays
its flag at half mast at all army
posts. stations and national cemeter-
les from sunrise to midday. Immedi-
ately before noon a dirge is played
by the band or field music and the
national salute of p guns is fired.
At the conclusion of the memorial
tribute at noon the flag is hOisted to
the top of the staff and remains there
until sunset The idea is that the
national ensign is too sacred to be
long in mourning for any man or any
number of men, no matter how eXalt-
ed their rank.
The flag reversed. with the Union
down, means distress. The flag on
anything but a fortress actually be-
sieged should never be displayed be-
tween sunset and sunrise.
When the flag is to be displayed at
half-mast il is lowered to that posi-
ton from the top of the staff. 1t is
hoisted to the top before it is finally
lowered.

SWEDEN FOR PROHIBITION.

The question of national prohibition
has been submitted to a popular vote
in Sweden and the result was that
1.S45,249 votes have been recorded for
total and permanent prohibition of the
drink traffic throughout the country
and only 16.471 voted against The
plebiscite was organized by the Swed-
ish temperance societies. and it arose
out of the general strike last year.
by which the drink traffic was al
ready considerably minimized.
Every man and woman was entitled
to vote. In the province Of Jonkoping
81 per cent of the population voted for
prohibition, while in Stockholm the
percentage was only AZ.
Some remarkable figures relating
to the German drink consumption
have just been published by the
Imperial Statistical Review in the
Berlin Reichsarbeitblatt. Taking the
last four years average 1t is shown
that every German spends yearly on
beer and spirits about 500, the total
for a population of 64,OO0.OOO souls
being s622.SOO.5 500.
AS regards wine consumption no
definite figures are available. but the
bureau estimates it at six pints per
head per annum. or total approx
mately of $4,000 900. The total
amount spent in Germany per annum
on alcoholic beverages is therefore
well over s7O0,0OO,O00. Thus the Ger
man drink bill is more than twice
the joint expenditure on the imperial
army and navy; more than four
times the total of the workmen's in
surance throughout the empire. and
five times the total budget of public

Somebody told him if he laughed
The world with him would smile,
And SO he undertook to chaff
In a persistent style.
He laughed when on the street you
slipped
And saw great, painful stars
He laughed when scared pedestrians
skipped
In front of trolley cars.
He laughed to hear each tale of woe
Fen though your tears might fall;
He laughed at folks who couldn't &c
To see the game of ball.
Until at last his friends broke in
Upon his manners lax,
And every time he dared to grin
They hit him with an axe.

badness occurs the scalp has simply lost all is

People active in furthering the

that little of the same doctrine

1t is pointed out that all of the
negotiations with G.. B. Dennis, con-
tractor on the Sprague avenue fill,
have been held behind closed doors,
in star chamber sessions, by Mayor
Pratt and his board of pubic
