One hundred years ago July 25th, the first locomotive in the world to successfully. haul a load of freight upon rails made its maiden trip. Invented by George Stephenson, the Father of Loco motives" 1t made it's first run at Kil1ingworth eolliery in England. It had so many rods and craIiks strapped to its boiled that it had the appearance of a huge grass hopper. It weighed about six tons A pair of .walkif1gbeams," re- sembling those of a modern side wheel steamer, turned the four wheels. There being no cab, the engineer had to stand while the engine was in operation. It pulled eight loaded cars. which aggre- gated a weight of thirty tons, up a track that had a grade of one test was a grand" success. the ef1gine running about six miles an hour. The first locomotive to draw @ train of cars in the United States made it's experimental tip in the Lackawana coal district fifteen years later. This locomotive also was the product of Stephenson. It was called the Stourbridge IAon, after the place of it's manufacture in England. It's American engineer Horatio Allen, ran the engine over a track of hemlock rais for preliminary test. Then he invited any gentlemen in the gathering of spectators to accompany him. His invitation wHs not only refused but he was urged to give upStis fool < hardy ambition. EauEhing at his advisers. he pulled the throttle wide and "dashed'' away at ten miles an hour.

EoR BEACH WEAR

To be truly fashionable when you take a dip in the briny this summer you must put on more clothes than you take off. Time was when the bathing beach. was the vantage gryund where all feminine fine points were frankly revealed. Now all the re- .vealing is done in the naarts. the pub lie restaurants and theaters, while the charms of the belle of the bathers are as completely hidden under the up to date bathing costume as the light under the proverbial bushel.
 Skirts are no longer than hereto fore, and the pantalette a la mode Is glimpsed generously below in ruched and ruffled glory. Panniers of differ ent colore are a favorite trimming, the bouffant bouyancy, will do doubt cause decided slump in the demand for wings. bladders and cork belts by tirnorous swimmers.
 Brilliant colors that are fast and certainly look 1t are another feature. bouquets are the last gasp in aquatic fashions. Imagine what snappy ef- feet a spray of pink rubber roses will add to your bathing suit; and the spring touch imparted by a bunch of purple rubber violets, is sure to win at the stretch. Certainly nobody could classify these elastic violets as belonging to the shrinking variety.
 The newest sandals are in bright satin to match the bathing suit and are built like the late tango slippers with divers straps. Nothing could be more apropos than deep sea green slipper with divers straps to cover an under toe, now could there? The sandals that perform the aqua tic feat of covering bathing feet and the chic flower trimmed hats that tor the hirsute waves that top the ocean waves are not the salient features cf the newest bathing suits however.
 The really striking innovations. af- ter all. are the superabundance ol bouffant bustles. panniers and puffs The minute you get one on you, you are bound to belong to the floating population.

STILL suILplNo CITIES 10 BURN.

STILL BULL DING CITIES TO BURN.
 There Is no getting away from. the fact combustible cities are too conn mon in America, or that they are be- ing iHcreased in number all of the time.
 The fire losses in American cities are ten times what they are in the cities of Europe, not because the European cities are best equipped with fire apparatus, but because the peo- pie ara required by law to protect themselves as much as possible.
 We have fraugurafed in this country fire protection, or ciean-up days, to negative the slackness and check the peril of having too much eombustible matter in the cellars. What we need In the congested parts of cities Is a law which prohibits the use of shinsle roofs and infiammable building ma terial of every kind. America is a hundred years behind Europe in com polling the private citizen to do his part toward the safety of his prop erty
 Boston today stands at the head of American cities of the first class in it's fire fighting equipment and it also has, according to the Transcript of that city more eonbustibIe buildings than any other city in it's class. Boston learned her lesson as Salem has learn ed hers and if fire protection comes high she knows she must have it whatever the cost.
 It may be exciting to have a motor fire truck ordered by competent com mittee without asking the city fathers but it is very much more exciting to wake up in the night to a fire alarm to find the apparatus is inadequate for the service required of it, s9The way to make a city we'll pro- tected against destructive fires is to resort to every legitimate means to keep the liability to fires down to the lowest possible point.
 Norwich is stin in the combustible city class.

SUMMER ROOMS.

Even at its worst a bare room in summer IS great improvement on the same room clad in winter gar ments. But. nevertheless. there really is no necessity for having it so bare as to make 1t ugly. Little scrinn or muslin curtains are too sheer to keep out the breeze. and yet they save the windows from that bleak look which no curtains at all produce, It is qui a right to cover the furniture to protect 1t from the dust. but 1t can be covered with chintz or cretonue instead of plain denim. Then. too, the absence Of rugs makes room very bare and this is really unnecessary. Little rag rugs are to be bought very cheap and are just the thing for summer use. Two or three will be just enough to make the room look cool and without looking bare. These can be easily washed when they become dirty

When making a nightgown for a growing child buy a pattern that Is too large and use the body part of that pattern and the sleeves of "a dress pattern which fits the child For ex- ample, for a child of a year or a year and half buy a 4-year pattern. Use the body of this pattern and use for the sleeves the pattern of dress sleeve for a child of one year. In do- ing this the nightgown will not be too large or bulky; it will simply be roomy. The sleeves will become too short before the gown is worn out. You must then put new sleevs in the required size. In this way the night gown can be worn out and not dis carded or given away while still in good condition.

FOLDING SCREENS.

Most useful cases for the woman who boards or lives in other small Quarters are the folding cretonne covered screens. One, with two leaves. has a little drop leaf that forms a triangular top to make a stand of the two leaves when they are opened. Each leaf is fitted with pockets for work and implements, and when the drop leaf is let down the two standing leaves can be folded and fastened securely together. In this form they can be slowed behind a door or in a bureau drawer, where they are out of the WAY

TO COOK SPINACH.

In cooking spinach never put water in the pot. Wash the vegetable thor oughly and put over the fire: it win create sufficient water to cook itself, and it's virtues win not be thrown down the sink. Let those who hesti- tate to cook spinach this way for fear of burning it, try 1t. They Will be astonished at the amount of water seen after the cooking. Less salt should be put in when boiled in this way, for obvious reasons.

FOR BETTER POTATOES.
State Farm Experts to Make Effort tt
Keep Potatoes Free from Disease.

Wisconsin grown potatoes are to be
still better known for their purity and
freedom from disease.
A preliminary conference held in the
leading potato districts of the state
indicates that between 200 and 500 grow
ers viii avail themselves this fall
of the inspection and certifcation ser.
vice authorized by the regents of the
university at their recent meeting.
The plan is to make two inspections
the first of the growing crop, and the
second of the harvested tubers to de-
,termino variety, purity and general
freedom from disease. The stock which
passes this inspection will be certified
and the growers having such seed will
be furnished with tags.
The expense of this inspection will
be betrayed by the growers. A fee OF
$3.50 will be charged for the inspec.
ton of ten acres or less and $500 fol
fields of more than ten acres.
The inspection will be in charge Of
James G. Milward of the experiment
station, who is also secretary of the
Wisconsin Potato Growers association
