SUMMERTIME

The craze for rarity in the eccentric
individual chasing butterflies down a
lane brings smile to the mouths Of
his watchers. Yet 1t is oddly infectious.
Let the very man who laughed at the
ardent butterfly chaser chance upon
some plant which turns out to be rare
and he will feel immensely pleased with
himself. He will probably frame the
poor, innocent little blossom or write
in to the papers. or bore his friends at
the club or on the commuters special
by telling them for the tenth time how
he found the rarest plant there is"
Rarity. however. is a comparative
term. The hart's tongue fern is excess
Sively rare in the country, being con-
fined to one county in New York State
and one in Tennessee. In Europe it is
almost a weed at least it will grow in
old cellar holes and around mill wheels

to me is the pipewort, which botanists
call Eriocaulon. Not but what there

August 20, 1S70.-The steady advance
in the price Of real estate on Capitol
Hill indicates that capitalists and the
artisans are busy In that neighborhood.
What were deep ravines few years ago
are now level and well drained locali-
ties, teeming with whole rows Of fine
residences.
Besides the many residences already
erected by A. r. Shepherd, Moses Kelly
and Col. c. H. Holden. there are many
others now in course of construction.
The old ravine, with gully IN the
center, through which flowed a perfect
torrent in every rain. situated between
North Carolina avenue and Fourth and
streets southeast, is now completely
changed in appearance. the gully hav-
ing been arched over. The locality will
be still further improved by the erection
of a row Of seven new houses for MeSSrS.
James C. Dulin and George II. Barr.
They will be two stories high, with
French roofs, and besides having all
the modern conveniences they will be
thoroughly drained by means OF the
gully. which now serves the purposes OF
q sewer.
Near these and on the corner OF
Third and C streets southeast Peter
story brick residences, similar In all re-
spects to those built by Col. G. H. Hol-
den elsewhere, except that the trim
mings will be of white marble instead
of brownstone. This site, it will be re-
membered, is the same as that occupied
by a row Of seven frame houses which
were destroyed by fire one cold Win
ter's night about 10 years ago, when
many persons were thrown out in the
cold almost destitute.

broken on the north side of PennSyl-

The present war in Europe between
France and Prussia is seriously inter-

Match Hats and Scarfs
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER

Hornespun Is q leading textile for
these matching accessories. Now that
Fail is fast approaching, darker colors
should be chosen than hitherto, II they
can continue to be worn and carried
late into the season. It Is quite pos
sible to buy homespun textiles by tne
ward from shops where hand weaving
Is done, and q greater diversity OF colors
and weaves Is obtainable from sucn
places than from the usual run OF
stores. Recently have seen some tas-
cinating color schemes in soft flne
weaves.
If the goods are wide. one width can
be used for a length for a scarf. A
little extra for the purse or bag Will
be needed. If hat Is made to order,
be guided by the milliner's advice about
quantity. There may be suff1cient from
odds and ends to make the envelope
purse. These purses, by the way, are
Of the envelope order. A piece Of tex
tile by 10 inches will make large
sized purse, allowing for all seams.
This gives one pocket 3la inches deep
and a deep flap, which may be secured
with q snap. The purses should be
lined with heavy silk or satin.
Homespun often comes very narrow,
being woven in scarf widths. When
purchasing this it will be necessary to
get extra length for purse or bag to
match either the hat or scarf. Also
enough should be allowed for a short
fringe. II this Is plain, three fourths
inch is deep enough fringe. II knotted
much more will be required. 1t may
be said that the plain raveled fringe
is usually found. Since 1t Is wool 1t
felts together and does not continue to
rayel out. This is mentioned so that
the trouble of overcasting the edge
next the fringe can be avoided.
Apart from these envelope purses.

A Sermon for Today
Recognizing Merit
By REV. JOHN n. GUM.

Recognizing Merit.
Text: 1.-THE praise of them that do
well."--1 Peter lila.
To praise them that do well is comedy.
Wherever merit is displayed we should
duly recognize and command it. But
some are so full Of self-esteem that
they never praise another and cannot
bear to hear another praised.
His self-esteem was so great that he
could tolerate no commentator of
others would never himself speak in
laudatory terms of q contemporary"
Never mind who wrote them, nor Of
whom they were written. save that they
were written Of one who was once an
outstanding political leader. History re-
cords him standing as a statesman. but
when read this comment my opinion
Of him dropped several notches.
Bovee wrote: 1.-THE best evidence of
merit is cordial recognition OF 1t
whenever and wherever 1t may be
refuses to recognize merit in others
discreditS his own-if he has any.
A serious shortcoming with many is
that they postpone "the praise Of them
that do well" until 1t is too late. Bull
wer-Lytton said: II know not why we
should delay our tokens Of respect to
those who deserve them, until the heart
that our sympathy could have glad
dened has ceased to beat. AS men can
not read the epitaphs inscribed upon
the marble that covers them. so the
tombs that we erect to virtue often only
prove our repentance that we neglected
1t when with U.S."
Merit does not depend upon applause.
It thrives even when unrecogntzed and
unappreciated. 1t can get along in
spite of neglect. Yet 1t may be greatly
stimulated by a little recognition and
encouragement.

Now Rogers comes into his own.
Sophistication enters the movie, and
that subtle humor In the Rogers drawl

says, but how he says it.
There was mutiny on the lot when

Tariff Below That

WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-lR-
The senate sugar tariff controversy
expected to be the outstanding dis
pute Of the whole forthcoming tar
if debate. will rage over a pro-
posed rate considerably lower than
that voted by the house but much
higher than that now charged un-
der the Fordney-McCumbe act.
Winding up their labors on the
rate sections Of the pending bill
the senate finance committee re-
publicans have decided to recon-
mend that the impost on Cuban
raw sugar be placed at 2.20 cents
a pound. That compares with l.76
cents in the present law and $40
in the bill passed by the house.
If accepted by congress. the CON-
mitteemen's decision. reached by 7
2 to 4 vote, would raise the rate on
Cuban raw sugar, which is accord
ed a 20 per cent preferential duIy
under treaty agreement. to the
present world rate of 2.20 cents, and
would elevate the world rate TO 2.75
cents. The world rate has little ef-
feet on sugar prices, however, since
most Of Americas imports come
from Cuba.
Chairman Smoot, who voted fol
the compromise rate. estimated that
it would add $3.50 a ton to the cost
Of 100000 tons OF Cuban sugar i'm
