SMART EFFECTS IN TIES
Persian Chiffon and Satin Ribbon Can
Be Made to Produce Stun
Ming Effects.

One of the smartest effects Is made
by cutting a nine-inch square Of Per-
sian chiffon, to which is stitched
satin ribbon an inch and a half wide.
The ribbon is sewed to the right
side of chiffon half inch in from the
edge, using "a machine for greater Sc
curity. The corners are mttred to
form a square.
Each quarter of this square is then
put into diagonal fine side plaits
meetip at the center of square. This
is easily managed by folding the
square over In one direction, and then
doubling in the opposite direction.
The small square thus formed Is
Matted from the center out.
When the plaits are laid the square
is caught at the central point and
sewed to the back of a small four or
six looped bow of satin ribbon to
match border. The ends fall in grace
full points.

THoRNLEss ROSES

This is the day in which old adages
are being relegated to the scrap heap,
and the one about every rose having
its thorn will now have to give way
before the advance Of science It
seems that a woman, Mrs. w. ]. Beggs
of Seattle, has succeeded in producing
this prickless variety. For years she
was neighbor of Luther Burbank, the
California wizard; each tried to pro-
duce the thornless rose, but without
success. Then Mrs. Beggs concluded
that the trouble lay in the climate,
and she moved to Seattle, where she
succeeded in producing flower of
great beauty and of fragrance which
is second to that of none of the roses
which grow. The stem is smooth like
that of a lily.-Pathf1nder

Cracks in Furniture.

Cracks in furniture can be filled in
with beeswax so that the marks will
scarcely show at all.
First of all, slightly soften the bees
wax until it becomes like putty, then
press it firmly and neatly into the
cracks and smooth the surface over
with a thin knife. Next sandpaper
the wood surrounding the crack and
work some of the dust into the bees
wax
This gives the work a finished look,
and when it is vanished the cracks
will have disappeared.

Enter the Beauty Spot.

No longer will its destinations be
confined to fancy dress balls and the

It Is not the artificial-looking bit of

1t is the genuine beauty spot, the
tiny brown mole, which is promised
it's innings for next winter.
If you haven't one, and few people

Several actresses have already done
so, placing the tiny blemish where it

artistically performed, has in bringing

The New BoIero Hat,

There is a new bolero turban which
will probably prove popular for morn

closely turned-up round brim that
rises to the hight of the crown. Be-

of velvet Is inserted, though only a
rim of it is seen. At the left side
of the front is a four-winged velvet
bow. The brims Of such boleros are
an even four inches deep, but their

ribbon or of feathers.

STRIKE CAUSED BY BEES

An extraordinary strike occurred
recently at Cardiff, Wales, when the
employees of firm Of sweetstufl
makers ceased work owing to the ter.
ror caused by daily invasions by mil.
lions of bees.
Driven by the bad weather and the
lack of natural food, bees for miles
around swarmed to the factory. Barrel
loads of dead bees, gorged with syrup,
have been carried out of the works,
but every morning saw new swarms
OF bees, which besieged all the watts,
buckets. and bottles In the factory.

HIS EXPERIENCE
IN FERNANDINA
r. H. MANSER WILL CARRY LAW
YERs AND 6oNDsMEN ON HIS
NEXT VISIT THERE.

thankful that he escaped without
being sentenced to death or given a
HE term in the state penitentiarv.
K. H. Manser, Ct the Brunswick Steam
snip Company, returned yesterday
from Fernandina, Fla, where he went
to superintend the loading of the
steamship Lyra, and it is doubtful
whether or not Mr.. Manser will ever
again visit the Florida port, unless he
is accompanied by an array of law
yers, several bondsmen, etc.
In just six days the Brunswick man
was arrested six times, at least a
charge was made against him each
day, ard each time fine of $50 was
imposed by the judge of the Nassau
county court, aggregating in all $500.
10 get down to the facts, it seems
that the steamer Lyra went eyer to
Fernandina to take on cargo of lum-
ber and crossties for the Brunswick
Steamship company. Under a Flori-
da law every steamer loaded at any
port in the state must have a steve
dore in charge. 1t seems that the
local company could not get steve
dore in Fernandna, and the work was
started without one. AS soon as this
hecame known around FSrnandina,
w. NJ Purvis, who was in charge of
loading the ship, was placed under
arrest. Later Mr.. Manser went over
and he was arrested while Mr.. Purvis
was released
The Brunswick man was arraigned
i'll court and though he asked for a
pOstponement of the case, Judge Car
Teton announced that he was going to
try him right now, and the trial pro-
ceeded. The states attorney was pres
ent, and Mr. Manser endeavored to Sc
cure counsel in the little Florida city
to represent him, but it seems that
they were all disqualified for some
reason or other. Therefore he was
compelled to appear as his own after
ney. and of course was convicted, and
fine of $50 per day for each day
that the steamer loaded in the port
was imposed.
Mr. Manser then filed a petition for
appeal, but the judge was i'll grave
doubt as to whether or not he could
permit this. Finally, however, he
granted the petition under the
agreement that Mr. Manser furnish
heavy bond A cash bond, of course,
was refused. and, as Mr.. Manser did
not know a business man in Fernan-
dina ne began to see visions of peep
ing through the prison bars. He was
escorted over the city by the judge
himself who was informing him every
minute that unless the bond was fur
nished he would have to be locked
".
The situation soon developed into
quite a serious one for the Brunswick
steamship man, as it was impossible
i to get any one from Brunswick in a
few hours to go ch the bond.
Finally, however, Mr. Manser sue
ceeded in striking a friend and the
bond, quite a heayy one, was arrang-
ed. And the next train which left
for Brunswick had Mr.. Manser as a
| passenger. He will return to Fern
andina on May 12, but will he accom-
panied by attorneys, bcndsmen, etc.
