BEAUTIFUL LINENS.
cottons. Too, of Rare Attraetiveness
For Summer Suits

Cottons, Too, of Rare Attractiveness
For Summer Suits.
This season it is somewhat difficult to
distinguish between linen and cotton
in the heavier weavings, as they ap-
pear so similar, and many of them
are provided with the excellent mer-
cerized finish which not only gives
them silky appearance, but renders
them less easily creased.
The principal weavings for tailor cut
linen suits are the fine twill known
as gabardine. ottoman, poplin, tussah
and the neat surface that was origi-
nally seen in easement cloth. Most Of
these come in double width (forty
inches) and in charming colors-mauve
linen green, dark and sake blue, de-
licate gray and biege tints. old rose and
shrimp pink.
An ultra smart linen suit was seen
the other day made Of shrimp pink
linen, the skirt with very deep tunic
set In large plaits and finished with
white pipings and buttons down the
front The simply cut and loose coatee
was also piped Admirable new
touches were provided by the little
killed basque and the striped white
and black collar and cuffs. The black
Napoleon hat worn with this costume
was Of hemp. with roses in the cleft

In what direction will ship sail
when passing through the Panama ca
nal?
A ship passing through the Panama
canal from the Pacific ocean would
sail mainly in a northwesterly direc-
ton. going due north in the latter part
of the course. Going the other way the
direction would be reversed.
Do all churches observe the same
fast days?
No. Some do not observe any, ex-
cept an occasional proclamation by the
civil authorities. The Roman Catholic
days of fasting are the forty days of
Lent. the Ember days. the Fridays of
the four weeks in Advent and certain
vigils or evenings prior to the greater
feasts, while all Fridays of the year
are days of abstinence from flesh meat.
In the American Episcopal church the
days of fasting or abstinence to be OBJ
served. according to the Book of Com
mon Prayer, are the forty days of
Lent, the Ember days, the three Roga-
ton days and all the Fridays of the
year, except Christmas day. In the
Greek church the four principal fasts
are those of Lent. the week succeeding
Whitsuntide. the fortnight before the
Assumption and forty days before
Christmas

What are the zodiacai signs and how
did they originate?
They are part of crude system of
astronomy devised by the ancients.
The zodiac is an imaginary highway in
the heavens. The apparent path of the
sun in the heavens is along an ecliptic,
which is inclined % degrees 81 minutes
to the celestial equator. A belt 16 de-
grees wide. degrees on each side of
the ecliptic. within which are compris-
ed the path of the moon and all Of the
planets known to the ancients, is
known as the zodiac This belt is di-
vided into twelve signs of the zodiac,
each 80 degrees in length. The first of
these signs begins at the point when
the suns path crosses the equator
(when moving north in the spring. and
is known as the sign of Aries, and the
point of crossing is known as the YER
nal or spring equinox. The point
where the suns path crosses the equa-
tor when returning south in the fall is
known as the autumnal equinox, and
is the beginning of the sign Libra.
The zodiacal signs are arbitrary SYM
bols representing Aries. the ram; Tau
rus, the bull; Gemini, the twins; Can
Ger, the crab; Leo. the lion; Virgo. the
virgin; Libra, the balance; Scorpio, the
scorpion; Sagittarius, the archer; Cap

carrier, and Pisces, the fishes. AL

to primitive and obsolete system, the

Rubberized BATHING Cans.

Bathing caps that are especially de-
'sirable have visors of rubberized silk
mounted on stiff frame. These caps
would save much discomfort from the
bright sunlight of the seashore. Some
very pretty bathing caps, made of the
rubberized silk, are shirred into a
rosette over each ear.
The small corsage bouquets of rub
Der flowers that made their appearance
last year are still in evidence for the
bather, and sometimes rubber flowers
are used as trimming for bathing caps.

When was the 90 called Black Hawk
war and what became of the Indian
chief of that manner
The Black Hawk war was not much
of a war, but it created a big scare
along the frontier, including Some of
the western and even central counties
Of Indiana. By a treaty signed at
Prairie du Chen. Wis, in 1890 the
Sac and Fox Indians ceded all their
lands in Illinois and Wisconsin to the
United States. Black Hawk noted
chief of the tribe, refused to abide by
the treaty and made war on the
whites. In 1881 he attacked some ILL
nois villages, and in 1882 he renewed
hostilities with stronger force. He
and his warriors were driven back into
Wisconsin, and on Aug. 1. 1882. he
was defeated in the battle of Bad AK
river, and few days later he was
captured. He was confined in Fort
Monroe. In 1888 he was liberated. and
Oct. 3. 1888, he died in Iowa and was
buried on the banks of the Des Moines
river. His, remains were afterward
stolen and carried away, but they were
recovered by the governor of Iowa and
placed in the museum Of the Historical
society at Burlington, where they were
finally destroyed by fire. Troops for
the Black Hawk war were raised at
Indianapolis and Lafayette and start
ed for the scene of hostilities, but new
er reached it. They returned covered
with dust and good natured ridicule.
Is there a higher cataract or water
fall in the world than Niagara?
There is one in South America much
higher and greater in every respect. A
cataract on the. Iguazu river, which
partly separates Brazil from Argent
ma, has sheer fall of 21O feet; that of
Niagara being 167 feet and the Iguazu
cataract is 1923 feet wide, or about
two and half times as wide as Mag
ara 1t is estimated that 100000
tons of water pass over Niagara in
an hour. A like estimate gives the
falls of Iguazu 14O,OOO,OOO tons.
What is meant by Ember and Rosa-
ton days7
They are certain periods of the year
devoted by ecclesiastical authority to
prayer and fasting. Ember days
twelve annually, about the beginning
of the four seasons, are the Wednes-
day, Friday and Saturday after the
first Sunday in Lent, in spring; after
the feast of Pentecost CWhitsunday),
summer; after the festival of the Holy
Cross. autumn; after the festival of St
Lucia, winter. Ember weeks are the
weeks In which the Ember days ap-
pear. Rogation days occur on the feast
of st. Mark, April %. and on the three
days Immediately preceding Ascension
day.

WAR RAISES PRICE
OF COMMON DRUGS
European Conflict Affects
Values of Materials Used
in Explosives.

The war in Europe has already at.
fected drug prices to slight extent
and it is anticipated that within the
next few weeks, If hostilitfes in Eu-
rope do not cease that the prices on
some of the common drugs will shoot
skyward.
The drugs that have been affected
are mostly the ones used in the manu-.
facture of gun powder and other ex-
plosives. These are potassium chlor-
ate and other compounds of potassium
which are common in medicine; cam
phor and it's compounds; carbolic acid,
nitric acids and number of other sub
stances, the main supply Of which is
in the countries Of the east. Practi-
cally all OF the camphor Is secured
from Japan and it's supply is in the
hands OF a syndicate. During the
Russo-Japanese war the price of gum
camphor rose from fifty cents to $3.50
per pound and a similar rise is expect
ed within the next few weeks.
I'VE have not felt the effect of the
rise in prices to any great extent at
the present time" said DR.. Edward
Rambler, of the A. G. Luken Drug COM
pany, this morning. I'VE are expect
ing a rapid rise, however, as is always
felt when war breaks out in any part
of Europe. Carbolic acid has risen a
half Of one cent a pound and a high
price is expected soon."

SALE OF OLD eggs
ENABLE 0FFENSE
Law Requires That Farmers
Market Only Fresh and
Clean Products.

Farmers who bring eggs into town
for sale, should be very careful to see
that all of them are fresh and clean
Often during the summer months, the
eggs are allowed to remain several
days ungathered, or a broody hen on
the nest all day will start the process
of incubation.
At this time of the year 1t is good
practice to remove the rooster from
the laying flock. Infertile eggs keep
better than the fertile ones. In some
localities a movement has been start
ed to Swat the Rooster"
Fresh clean eggs demand the best
prices and will guarantee a regular
trade. Neither the farmer or the
grocer can afford to put any others
on the market.
The Indiana pure food law forbids
the sale or offering for sale of eggs
which are in any degree decomp0sed
putrid or rotten by Paragraph 4 OF
Section of the law. which reads: An
article shall be deemed as adulterat
ed: In case Of food. II it consists In
any proportion of filthy decomposed

Section 4 makes it the duty of all
peace and health officers to seize eggs
found to be unwholesome and which

Hints to Make
Farm Life Easy

Well-cleaned bins for the grain at
threshing-time add much to the
chances of the grain coming through
the storage season in prime condition
for feeding and sowing.
See that every beehive Is amply
protected from the rays Of the sun,
else the honey-comb will melt down
and be lost, at the same time drown
ing the bees as it melts.
By cleaning out the dairy stalls be-
fore milking, we avoid the filth while
feeding and at milking-time, and pre-
vent the scent from entering and
tainting the products of the dairy.
Fhe saving of farm and garden
seeds from now on, not only avoids
the expense of buying seed next
spring, but the native-grown seeds are
more apt to terminate than those
shipped in from other sections of the
country.
Where one does not get the time to
stir every foot of grain-stubble on the
farm, it should be thoroughly disced;
or, if this is found impossible, by all
means put mower in the field, and
thus prevent the weed-pests from
going to seed, especially cockle-burrs.
While all drop apples should be
made good use OF by feeding them to
the hogs, they should not be made an
exclusive ration, as they put the ami
mails teeth ION edge" and when they
are changed to a grain ration, it will
be some time before they can bear
to chew this more solid food.
Keep all the old snags of boards,
sticks, etc., gathered up around the
house, barn and lots. Such rubbish
makes good wood, but if left thrown
about, it is fit only to trip fellow up
and give him hard fall. Old wire,
rusty nails and glass, come under the
same class of dangers around the
farm, and should be promptly dispos-
ad of
