I Many OF these models can scarcely
be called corsets at all in the sense OF
lencasing the upper figure-rather are
they more apty called hip sheaths.
They are laced TO give fiat back lines
and the straight hip lines, supporting
the waist only so far as is essential 20
give perfect pose TO the upper figure.
This conforming Of the natural upper
lines of the form to the hipiess effects
gives an easy, graceful carriage to full
figures and to medium and slender fig
ures, that freedom and sIppleness that
make for the youthful uncorseted ef-
feet so much in vogue in the present
modes.
Materials used are the softest that
II Is possible to employ and stlll retain
the shape and resist the strain.
The extremely low bust of the new
corsets has brought out in greater
variety than ever before brassieres Of
many fabrics. Cotton tricot of fine
quality. in white or In flesh color forms
one OF the newest models, which is
quite boneless and 80 cut IL gives CON
tour TO the bust and at the same time
attalns the natural figure effect so much
desired.
The nanel.front brassiere has been
designed to take care of the
blouse effect Of the transparent waist.
1t has a soft, loose front panel of fine
lace and embroidery that falls over the
regulation hrassiere which fits snugly
and holds the bust in restriction.

ADDISON COUNTY FAIR.

The 10th annual fair of the Addison
County Agricultural society will be held
in this town on the socety's grounds
on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, September l, 2, 3 and 4, next.
This, with fair weather, will make the
longest succession of county fairs ever
held in any county in Vermont and prob
ably anywhere in New England.
President John Z. Weeks of Middle
bury, Secretary Frank c. Dyer of Sa.is-
bury and Treasurer Charles F. Rogers
of Middlebury have got under way, and
within the next week advertising will
be begun on the usual large scale. 1t
is expected that the whole of the west
ern part of the State and considerable
portion of the other side of the noun
tain will be covered adequately by ad
vertising men and other methods of
publicity.
There is no doubt that if the weather
should prove favorable this years fair
will surpass any of its predecessors in
both the matter of exhibits and atten-
dance. The fact that the fair will come
about a week later in the season than
has been the case for the past dozen or
so of years gives little better chance
for the agriculturists of the county to
make a good showing of their products,
and it is believed that the Oranges of
the different towns will outdo the splen
did exhibits which they have made with
in the past few years, or since the town
Grange competition was instituted.
The officials have selected Andrew J.
Elliott of Jault, Ontario, for Judge in
the department of cattle, and Mr..
Elliott will come to his duties here with
a nationwide reputation in this particu-
lar line.
1t will be unpleasant news to the
thousands of regular attendants at our
county fairs for several years past that
Fred A. Upton of Rochester, n. Y,
will not be here this year to otticiate as
starting Judge Mr.. Upton had been en-
gagged for the fair as usual, but the
shifting of the date caught him where
he had another date already fixed and
unalterable, so that he cannot be here.
However, his place will be taken by
another well known starter, Nj. +. Ser
viss, also of Rochester, n. Y, who will
come with very high recommendations.
There are large number of entries
in the early closing races. In the 2:l4
pace, purse 5000, there are 10 entries.
There are Is entries in the 2;l7 pace,
with purse of $500; 80 entries in the 2:25
pace. with purse of $500, 26 entries in
the 2:1s trot, purse $500; 80 entries in the
2:25 trot, purse $500; and for the free
for-ail trot or pace for purse of $500
there are II entries of well-known
horses with low-down records.

racing will be assured The fair man.

GAS IN CAVITIES OF TREES
TALLY Same as Natural Gas, With
Some Free Hydrogen.

Prof. ]. A Ferguson of the Pennsyl
vania State college reports curious
phenomenon connected with the cut
ting of hardwood trees in the Ozark
mountains. Cavities near the base of
the trees are often found to contain
gas. When these cavities are cut into
by the oak tie cutters of the region
the gas escapes with whistling
sound, showing 1t to be under pres
sure, and if lighted 1t will burn with n
faint yellow fame The sides of the
cavities containing gas are in all
cases darkened and look as though
scared with hot iron. The popular
belief Of the district is that these
trees are connected through their
roots with a subterranean supply of
natural gas, and the land on which
they grow Is valued accordingly. An
examination of the gas collected from
a cottonwood tree was made by Pro-
fessor Bushong of the University Of
Kansas, and it was found to be sub
stantially the same as natural gas
with the addition of some free hydro
gen. Professor Ferguson believes,
however, that this gas is the product
of decomposition of the heartwood of
the trees.-Scientific American.

BLANKETS AND QUILTS
eEsT WAY or CARING FOR THE
BED ACCESSORIES.
Little GIycerin Added to the Rinse
Water Is Recommended-Quilts
Liable to Fade May Be Cleaned
With Gasoline.

The following is the best way to
wash blankets: Slice half cake OF
any good laundry soap in two quarts
of water. Set on the stove and STIR
until dissolved. When dissolved, add
to cold water in tub To this soapy
water add four tablespoonfuls of pow
dered borax. Soak the blankets in
this over night or for several hours.
Wash in this water Rinse twice in
cold water wiring and hang on the
line. This recipe will wash four
blankets. Be sure and use only cold
water, and they will come forth as soft
and beautiful as when new. A tea
spoonful of glycerin added to the
rinse water will improve them.
Very heavy blankets may sometimes
line and turning the hose on them,
spraying them all over. Stretch them
full length, and fasten heavy weight
at each hanging corner to prevent the
wind from swaying and wrapping them
into roll upon the line. The weights
hold them in shape, and when spread
out in this manner they dry quickly.
Cotton blankets are washed differ
emily from those made of wool. Soap
them well with laundry soap, fold, and
allow them to soak in tepid water.
Wash them in an hour or so and place
in boiler of hot suds to steam, not
boil. Rinse in several waters. Use
very little bluing and dry them
double on the line Press dry on the
wrong side.
Quilts that are liable to fade If
washed may be cleaned with gasoline.
Allow it to remain over night. Drain
and place in second tub of gasoline.
Strain the gasoline in the first tub
and use it, with a fresh supply for
cleaning the second piece. When
washing colored quilts avoid using al
kali. 1t will run the colors and ruin
the material. If quilts are badly
soiled, put kerosene IN the first tub.
1t will cut the dirt.
Bedding washed early In the spring
may be dried out of doors, but the
pieces should afterward be thrown
over line hung in room, to dry
thoroughly Ticking should be soaked
in water containing borax. Iron the
pieces dry. If thin, coat lightly with
paraffin on the wrong side. This will
prevent feathers from working
through.

ferred.

FEW REWARDS OF INVENTORS
Safety Pin Yielded Millions Of Dollars,
but Pioneer of the Telephone
Died a Poor Man.

1t is not always the greatest inven
ton that brings the largest financial
rewards, remarks the London Globe.
Roller skates are said to have brought
their inventor 100000, while nearly
half million was realized by the man
who first devised boot laces. The in
ventor of the safety pin, who took
the idea from a reproduction of a
Pompeian fresco, made $10,0O0,000.
On the other hand, Charles Bourseul,
who discovered and described the
principle of the telephone In 1855,
died poor. Michaux, the inventor of
the bicycle, ended his days in the ut
most penury, and Frederick Savage,
who is credited with the invention of
the screw propeller. was imprisoned
and died bankrupt and insane.
