If every white neckpiece cost the life
Of one.
These summer furs are worn with
white turbans or small white hats,
with best effect, although they appear
with all other midsummer millinery.
In the picture turban of white satin
supports frill about the crown which
gives it the appearance of Tam
o'-Shanter. At the left it is decorated
with a bead ornament. The hat, the
neckpiece, and the dress of cross-bar
taffeta, made up with plain taffeta,
are all forerunners of fashion and re-
liable indications of the coming mode.
However unreasonable it may ap-
pear for the fair wearer Of fur to cling
to it where no keen wind blows, she
may be excused. A white fur neck
piece Is really good investment. The
opportunities for wearing it stretch
through this summer to the coming
winter and to other winters beyond,
White furs, especially for youth, will
be good style, at least as long as any
furs continue to be good style.

If there Is one thing in the world
more becoming than all others, 1t is
the white fur neckpiece. In spite of
the calendar and with or without the
consent of the thermometer, this
neckpiece has flourished through July
and shows an undiminished head
in August. It's vogue probably came
about through the chilly weather in
the early summer at San Francisco.
All the gay world having journeyed
thither, found fur neckpiece COM
Portable. All the world recognized the
becomingness of white fur and took
heart at its appearance in the month
of roses to make a vogue for summer
furs.
Let us be thankful that the major
ity of the neckpieCes with which the
hayward devotees of fashion have
chosen to bedeck themselves are not
really of white fox. They are as far
from the fox as the goat is, or the
Belgian hare, or whatever else those
clever manipulators of skins know
how to fashion into things of beauty.
There would surely be few foxes left

HELP FOR POTATO GROWERS
Finest of Tubers May Be Grown With
the Aid Of Embalming Fluid, Ex-
periments Show.

It seems very curious that a chem.
zeal extensively used to preserve the
dead in the way of an embalming fluid
could be successfully used as a help
toward growing good potatoes, but
such is the case, remarks an exchange.
1t has been found that proper So
luton of formaldehyde will insure a
most excellent crop of the finest pota-
toes, where it has formerly been quite
difficult to make certain soil grow any
thing but a very inferior crop.
To prevent scabby or rusty-appear-
ing potatoes, the potatoes to be plant
ed should be soaked for two hours in
a solution composed of one pint of
pure formaldehyde to 80 gallons Of
water.
1t may be placed in large tubs, and
the potatoes put in burlap sacks and
laid in the liquid for couple of hours,
and then spread out on clean grass to
dry for an hour or more before cutting
and planting.
The potatoes should be cut into
pieces having two or more eyes from
which to sprout.
One good plan where a number of
bushels of potatoes are to be planted
is to have the liquid in barrels, with
spigot at the bottom for drawing off
liquid.
Potatoes should not be gathered up,
after being treated, in the same sacks
or baskets they were in prior to being
soaked, as they are apt to be reinfect-
ed more or less by the disease which
Is being fought.
In certain localities the potato has
become so diseased 1t is almost i'm
possible to secure pure healthy seed
and this formaldehyde process is rem
edying the difficulty largely.

II that organ before deciding whether
1t Is necessary to perform an operation
or not. To see the inside Of the
stomach he makes use of a miniature
periscope, similar in everything but
size to that through which the COM
mander of a submarine gets his bear

This instrument in its perfected

metal tube of small caliber containing
an arrangement of mirrors and lenses
and having a small electric light at
the end. This is pushed down the
throat of the patient. The light is
turned on and the instrument is moved
about until every part of the inner
surface has been examined.
The mirrors and lighting arrange
ment leave enough space In the tube
for fine scalpels and forceps and scis-
sors to be passed down through it.
Thus the surgeon is able sometimes to
perform delicate operations through
the tube and without cutting into the
patients abdomen. To the outer end
of the instrument rubber bulbs are at
tached, and these are used for vari-
GUS purposes according to the needs
of the case.

An American

A native of any part of North or
South America is literally an Ameri
can, since he is a native of one Of
the American continents. Usage, how
ever, has narrowed the term so that
IAN American" is generally under
stood to be citizen or native of the
United States of America, while a
native of Canada, Mexico Central or
South America is known as a Cana
dian," Mexican" Brazilian" "Guate-
malan,' or the like. The reason for
the usage does not lie in any feeling
that the United States preempts,
stands for, or overshadows the other
parts of the western hemisphere, but
simply in the fact that, while Can
ada, Mexico, Brazil, the United States
of Colombia, etc, are words which
admit of adjective formation, "Ameri-
can" is the only adjective which can
be formed from the name of our coun-
try to denote its citizens or to apply
to its interests, industries, cities, etc.

Secrets and UnraveIers.

During the last few months the sub
marine cables have been particularly
busy carrying secret messages be-
tween the various governments. Every
government has its own particular
forms of cipher specially composed
for it by experts. The cipher Is,
however, only a defective method of
securing secrecy, none having yet been
concocted to battle the cipher I'M
raveller. During the Spanish-Ameri-
can war the Americans appeared to
the Spanish to be peculiarly lax in al
lowing certain cable used by them
to remain unchecked. They poured
cipher messages through, and they
were duly received and acknowledged
by their agents. The senders and re-
cipients little dreamt that every mes
sage sent to the cable passed first
through American hands and was read
by them. The supposed secret mes
sages led to operations that, to the
surprise of the Spanish, were foiled
In disastrous manner.

NATION HAD EXALTED IDEAS
Pyramids and Temples of Early Mexi-
can Race Reveal Much to
Student of Religion.

Religion and superstition are much
combined in the mind Of the Mexicans,
the result of both ancient and modern
creeds. AS to the antique beliefs and
cult, there is much that appeals to the
philosopher in the religious structures
and history of the prehistoric, semi
civilized peoples of Mexico, or indeed
of Spanish-America, whether North
or South.
The pyramids and temples which
the Toltecs and the Aztecs and the
Incas built have something grand and
broad underlying their main idea, the
idea CT being able to get on their tenn
pies rather than in them.
There is ever source of inspiration
in being upon the point of an emf
nence, to commune with providence,
rather than being immured within
some gloomy walls, with topping
spires overhead. The spirit ever tries
to get out, to ascend, and is exalted in
accordance with it's altitude.
Did not Moses at Sinai bring forth
the enduring Decalogue from the sum-
nit of a great natural pyramid, rather
than from the gloomy interior of a
temple?
The exceedingly numerous pyramids
throughout ancient Mexico seem to at.
test some exalted idea of natural re-
ligion which found outlet and habita-
ton in the great Teocallis.-New York

elastic cord with narrow taffeta ribbon
shirred over it. The ribbons suspend
ing the fiounce are sewed to this belt
and to the fiounce. No fastening is
required, as the elastic cord holds the
petticoat in place about the waist.
A similar petticoat is made Of light
shell-pink taffeta and satin ribbon, with
narrow ruffles of the ribbon set on the
flounoe in three overlapping rows. The

A flounce suspended by ribbons, to
be worn in place of a silk petticoat, is
the very latest device for comfort and
style. Everyone wants the fashion
able flare at the bottom of skirts, and
everyone likes the elegance of silk
in petticoats. But no one wants added
warmth about the body, or bulk about
the hips, and here is the solution to
the flare without anything else to
hamper its wearer.
The skeleton petticoat is merely a
more or less fancy and fluffy flounce
of silk suspended by ribbons from a
ribbon belt. The very practical one
shown in the picture is made of bright
green taffeta silk. Eight lengths of
green taffeta ribbon suspend it from
belt of the same ribbon which ties
in a small bow about the waist. This
Is good color to wear with almost
any street gown.
A petticoat of this kind to be worn
with lingerie gowns is made of white
taffeta in flounce having decorations
of figured taffeta. The figured taffeta
usually a lowered pattern on
white grounds cut in strips two
inches wide and ''pinked" along each
edge. These strips are sewed to-
gether and plated into very full box
plaits to form narrow ruching. This
is sewed in festoons to the white
flounce.

To Translate Old Book on Texas.

The only existing copy OF Texas in
the Year of 1S4S," written in German,
by Victor Bracht, one Of the early Ger
man settlers, who came to Texas in
1S45, was loaned to r. P. Bracht, son
of the author of the book, by the state
library Mr.. Bracht, says the San An
tonic Light, wishes to have transla-
ton made.
Victor Bracht came to Texas in 1S45
with the Prince Solms-Braunfels COL
ony to New Braunfels, and it is of this
early period that the book is written.
1t tells of the life among the colonists
and the opinion of the new land. Mr..
Bracht was living in Mexico when

wife.
