Cocoanut's Three Exaa.

Who can tell why the cocoanut has three eyes? Luther Burbank expIains it tbis way:
 Cocoanuts usually grow at the edge. Of the sea or rivers. The nuts are. surrounded with thick husk with a waterproof covering so that when tbev. drop into the water they will float In floating, the three eyes are alwavs, on top.
 Once in the water nature gets husv From one of the eyes there comes a shoot which develops broad leaves like sails. The wind catches the sails aud watts the cocoanut on a Journey sometimes many miles long. As if sails the other two eyes develop ro,te Which at first grow among the fibers Of the woody husk.
 In good season, the cocoanut; ;s swept upon another shore, perhaps on another island. The roots imbed themselves in the soft earth, the sail becomes the trunk, and cocoanut palm is growing where none grew be- fore.

SUMMER CORSETS IN CHIFFON
Combine Liqhtness of Weight With Wearing Qualities That May Be
 Called Remarkable.

One of the daintiest accessories for the bride or bridesmaid for that mat ter is the corset of lowered chiffon No woman who possessed blouse of the best quality chiffon but knows how it wears, how it washes and cleans and bears strain and pressure out of all proportion to it's apparent fragility. The new corsets made of three thicknesses of chiffoh are boned with transparent composite reeds and fastened with backalite clasps. A great amount of hand work is put upon them, and small collection exhibited recently in New York shop was em- broidered with sprays of blossoms and trimmed with real lace.
 A very pretty new sports model is laced down both sides of the front about four inches apart. A narrow panel of silk elastic is inset at the sides to give perfect freedom. The newest models are rather high in the bust. with a prominent incurve at the waist and diHnctively shorter in the hips, but they curve down shield fashion back and front.
 Anoth1o innovation is the taffet. cor set made of pastel-tinted or pompa- dourfowered silk to match the elabo- rate plaited and rufiled petticoats of the season.
 The corsets are to be worn beneath the thin summer dresses without any camisole and with merely net under bodice to veil their charms.
 Corsets of silver cloth, while they were very much used during the win ter, are not shown for summer, and upon the whole the silver lace cami- soles to be worn under evening dresses of black and colored tulle are rather more chic. But the line of the corset top, the thick portion of the camisole and the upper edge of the bodice or girdle are identical and the fashion for the very close-sheathed figure, espe- cially at the waist line, tends to elimi-

SHAPED LIKE TULIP

deeper shade of wistaria over silk skirt of changeable pink and purple, with general tone of purple. It is quite the fashion to mingle pinks, fire colors and purples so that the whole garment looks like a design in orchid, dipped in purple shadows and sunny highlights. One must be an artist to know how to mingle colors effectively, so that you will find 1t much more simple to drape full chiffon or voile overskirt above silk skirt. It is also fashionable to make the overskirt of lowered taffeta draped over a skirt of plain taffeta of the same general color scheme, as, for instance, rose- colored taffeta where roses form tho color plan of the overdress.
 This design is also suitable for use with swisses, lawns ard other thin cotton material It would be more at tractive to make the overdress of plain or dotted swiss, edged with lace or with narrow ruffies, and drape this over with skirt made of plain swiss or null and trimmed with many small ruffles or with several rows of ruff1es edged with lace. A still more simple plan would be to buy three or four yards of thin embroidered flouncing and make the lower skirt of that You will find, however, that good swiss fiouncing of such width costs a good deal, although it is very beautiful, and narrow ruffles of swiss cost next to nothing, while pretty limitations of valenciennes lace are inexpensive Washington Star.

Darning on the Machine.

In darning on the machine Cit does not make any difference what the piece may be-tablecloths, napkins, socks, stockings, or anything that has hole in it) take the foot of the ma chine off and run the stitches all the way across the hole just as you do by as you would if done by hand, only it is done so much heater. Use an em- broidery hoop to hold the goods firm and even, put it over the hole and slide under the foot of the machine whatever color the material is, and use the same color thread.

by the British for just such purpose from an extensive mud fiat.
 Although characterized by Caucasi- an observers as sullen in their politi- cal antiquities. the Cantonese are a cheerful, industrious and intelligent people in their daily lives. They ac- cept philosophically their many hard ships and receive with stoical forti- tude the visitations of pestilence, which from time to time remove much of, the surplus population.
 Perhaps 1t was the scarcity of food which caused the Cantonese to in- clude in their menus many deli. cacies" not so classed by western peo- pie. For example, there is breed of dog which is fattened in this great city and much prized by those who can afford more than a rice diet. Cats, hawks and birds nests, are also re- garded as appetizing viands.

JACKETS OF COLORED SILKS

pocketed peplum, sometimes embroi dered and sometimes beaded, it is sure to be used by the younger set, as it completely changes the look of a white dress. With waist tied in by very long cords and tassels reaching to the bottom of the skirt, or by mar. row ribbons in different shades of the same color, forming punches over the distended hips, this little Peggy blouse is indeed dainty novelty.

SWEETNESS IS A WAR PORT
Garrison Town and harbor on Thames Estuary Are Protected by Mighty
 Notifications.

Sheerness, the pivot point in the English blockade of the North sea and control of all the Channel waters, situ- ated behind powerful shelter of for. tihcation on the southern shore of the Thames estuary. The garrison town and seaport are situated on the Isle of Sheppey where the Medway estu- ary joins with the Thames, 51 miles east of London. and joined with the metropolis by the Southeastern and Chatham railway. Thrown around the port are chain of formidable modern Notifications, opposing such armament as would make attack by an enemy fleet almost impossible. There are also extensive barracks here, and acres of warehouse space piled high with naval stores. Resi-. dences for the admiral of the home, heet and other naval officers consti. ute the most important part of the city.
 The dockyard and works of Sheer. ness, equipped for the carrying out of all Kinds of naval repairs. cover about sixty acres, including three basins and large modern docks. The harbor is. spacious and excellent one Sheer. ness IS primarily a war harbor, with little importance as a place of trade It mas fallen once before the attack or hostile fleet, but that was before the days of formidable ordnance, when the Dutch admiral De Ruyter captu~ed the fort of Charles II at Sheerness on July 10, 1867.
