Black Picture Hat a Feature of This Summer's Millinery SZ3&5sSfcw rOsSSi CASTQRIA 3Tor Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought EITOJJffina 7 4sji3 THE big black picture hat, which Is the queen of each summer's millinery, has arrived. It Is as large as ever and bears Its wealth of plumes in the prevail ing up-standing mode. It is as beautiful as over and has contrived to bo moro than ever interesting as to shape. Crowns aro moderate in slzo or small and of well known shapes. But brims! there-in Ho revelations. They curve, they Hare, thoy turn ab ruptly upward or swerve downward, they narrow suddenly, they are dented, or they "flop" with a method in their madness. But they never forget to bo graceful. Brims are, without doubt eccentric, but it is eccentricity with a purpose. Ono feels that it is made to set off the face of the wearer and that tho design would not merit a second look without It. As It is tho eye rests with delight upon hat after hat whoso lines aro new and lovely. Each ono Is designed for some special type of faco and every ono may find a becoming model if she tries long enough. The return to the normal headsizo is another vantago point for tho big picturo hat. Other hats as well are TO BE WORN IN THE HOUSE Indoor Dresses for Girls of From Ten to Twelve and Four to Six Years. The first illustration shows a ireful dress that may be mado up in fine serge, cloth, popllnetto or cashmere. Tho bodice has a box-pleat In center front and ono tuck each side back; the yoke is of different material or silk and is trimmed with small buttons. Tho one-pieco skirt Is Joined to bodice under a material band stitched at each edge. The sleeves are gath ered Into cuffs that match tho yoke. The second is for allttle girl of four to six years, and may'bo carried out in a variety of materials. Tho lower part of bodice and tho skirt aro cut to gether; they are laid in flat pleats turning from the center and aro set to a square yoko that is outlined with gal loon sharply mitred at tho corners-. The bishop sleeves aro gathered into wristbands trimmed to match yoko. To Match the Material. Some of the new side frills and jabots aro attached to collars of matching material. now blocked with smajler head sizes than for tho past two or three sea sons. Models in which tho lines tird simple nre sometimes faced and at other times finished with a flange of velvet. But tho majority of these hats uso nothing in their composition but the shape and tho trimming, and need nothing more. Among tho novelties that have been most successful are tlioso shapes In which the brim Is double, That is tho under brim or facing is mado of tho braid and is simply a continuation of tho upper brim. This gives a soft rbund edge which Is vastly becoming. Big, up-standing clusters of Paradlso feathers, some times mounted with an ornament, are often used on these hats. Paradise in fact divides honors with ostrich while heion disappears from the world of millinery. Tho black picture hat Is for her who may have moro than one chapean for dress. Notwithstanding that it is black, it Is conspicuous and in the new Bhapes, intended to be a little dar ing. It is not for all occasions and it remains the queen of hats. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. SMART TIES AND STOCKS. Woman With Clever Fingers Can Turn Out Numerous home Made Articles of Neckwear. Tho woman with clover fingers can turn out for herself numerous smart ties and stocks If she Is keen enough to copy the shop ones. Fashion jabots from handkerchief linen or fine lawn cut Into oval, round or oblong tabs that reach to the bust lino or half way above it. Finish tho edge with a narrow buttonhole stitch, in small scallops all around or in straight buttonholing on tho sides and threo deep scallops on bottom. In center put a medallion of laco with material cut away beneath, and around it embroider a row or two of pin dots or small eyelets to form a frame. Newer aro tho medallions mado with a center of punchwork, with a design embroidered or outlined around it. These tabs are most serviceable in all white using fine mercor,Ized cot ton but aro pretty in color which is repeated in the collar, belt and stock ings. As they aro not plaited, launder ing is simplified. Another smart tie to be worn with a turned down or Dutch collar Is mado from a straight piece of heavy linen thrco inches long and ono lneb wide, Round the ends scoop out sides slight ly and finish with straight edge of but tonholing. Mako long eyelets about half an Inch of center and through (thcm run elvet ribbon to match embroidery. Tho ends of tho ribbon project be yond the ends of the linen. If desired, a small design in eyelet or solid em broidery can be worked In each of tho rounded ends midway between eyelet and edge. Ball Slippers of Irish Lace. A recent novelty in taxpenslvo ball slippers is tho Irish laco nllpper, tho first consignment of which made its apearanco in America only a short timo ago. A pair of these band-crocheted slippers takeB almost two weeks to make, and tho retail pii;o is in tho neighborhood of 50. Popular Mo cban'c: Magazine. Officers Show How WASHINGTON. Improvements In present-day methods of baking bread in tho Held for tho army over tho methods of only a year or two ago were seen in a demonstration at tho Washington barracks tho othor day, beforo a delegation of officials from tho war department Thoso present were Qen. Henry Q. Sharp, coinmlB snry general of tho United States army; Col. David L. Brainard and MaJ. Henry Q. Cole. Oho of tho feats performed was tho loading of an oven, capable of doing tho cooking for a hundred nnd fifty sol diers, on a wagon In seven minutes nnd three seconds. This was about one-third of tho timo which a similar demonstration in oven packing had consumed two years ago, according to tho officials. No housewife or French chef could have turned out a better dinner or whiter, brown-crusted broad than did tho cooks in tho open air with t,helr "take-down" ovcs, la tho opinion of tho watchers. VWWJNANAAANWVWVWVJWW Finds Huts Upon QUIDNUNCS nt Washington, thoso gentlemen who aro always asking, i'What now?" enjoyed a considerable thrill of mystery and curiosity in dis cussing tho recent report of Rear Ad miral Sbuthland, who on board tho West Virginia visited Palmyra Island and 61 of lesser Isles, lying about 1,000 miles southwest of Honolulu, about 90 miles from Fanning Island. Tho Palmyra group, says Chapplo's News Letter, was proclaimed n part of Hawaii in 18S2, but since It haB ap peared to tho state department only re cently that Great Britain had annexed them in 1889, Rear Admiral Southland was dispatched with tho West Virginia to explore tho group thoroughly and especially to search for any public monuments conflicting with tho United States' claim to the islands. His re port on this point is very clear and explicit, to wit: "Tho results aro defi nite in making It clear that no flag pole, notice board, monuments or oth or surface objects Indicating an en deavor to claim sovereignty on tho part ot any nation exists on this is land." No living perBon was found in tho archipelago, although bird life abounded.

As is customary with thoso who aro engaged in a similar task, Rhoades took up a mouthful of wire nails. By somo unforeseen circumstances ono of tho nails escaped his fingers when it was about to bo pulled from his mouth, and wnt down his throat He was choked for an instant Then somo of his co-workers called up nn ambulance.

II. Wood and Henry L. Transtrom, an electrical ex pert, at tho Washington Foreign Mis sion seminary. Tho electrical discharges wore seen flushing In long specterllke streams, which snapped and crnckled like light ning. By changing tho terminals, tho flashes resembled small electric foun tains. Mr. Transtrom, holding his hand near ono of tho terminals, received into his body a current of at least 200, 000 volts without any injury. A wonder to tho audience was tho frying of the egg without any visible power, but there was heard tho bIz zllng and tho low hum of tho transmit ter, which was not connected with tho pan. Two hundred 'of the audlenco heard through tho receiver of the wire less telephone a voice that came from Army Does Baking Roast beef, that sont up n savory odor, onion gravy that tempted tho ralate, and Btrawbcrry Bhortcake, cov ered with doltclouB Icing, wero only a fow of tho things winch wero on tho bill of faro. Capt. M. A.

Tho bakery nt tho barracks la known as field bakery No. 1, and com prises one-third of tho entire cookfng staff of tho United States army.

This section nlso 1b a school for thoso who wish to become army cooks. Tho demonstration Included the uso of tho older clny ovenB nnd tho kind used in tho Civil war, and down to tho present day type, which can bo knocked down In a few minutes ready for transportation in tho army wag ons. In tho school whore tho men aro taught to cook aro hung charts show ing food values. Besides this thoro 1b an equipment of experimental appara tus, including nn electrical oven, used In teaching them tho scientific bb well as the practical points In cooking. a Lonely Island densely wooded slope of Islet 51, the presenco of which was thoroughly screened from anything by tho closest search. Two of tho hutB were roofed with corrugated Iron nnd ono with thatch, and there wero stoves, tables, shelves, jars, bottles nnd othor evi dences of a continued occupation nt no very distant period. Ono hut, with a new door and good lock, contained a largo number of cedar cases of Ori ental mako, several of which had been labeled by pasting a Blip of Japanese paper on tho ends nnd writing over it. Ono case was thus labeled: "This case contains ammunition, May 7." While there is no harbor at which a vessel might coal or a naval base bo permanently established, tho group could be used for the accumulation of supplies or tho rendezvous of an expe dition intended to carry out a design dependent for its success on se crecy. Postal Department rendered at once. Tho nmbulanco from the Providence hospital arrived and Rhoades was hurried to tho institution. Tho physldanB at Providence wore es pecially busy when Rhoades arrived. Ho waited for half an hour. No one came to his assistance. "I can't afford to wait any longer," declared Rhoades. "I will be docke'd if I stay away from the department any longer." Ho left tho hospital and relumed to his work. Tho nail was still clinging to somo part of his internal anatomy. "How does It feel to have swallowed a nail?" Rhoades was asked. "Well, I havo swallowed many a fish bone, nnd 1 don't feel any other sensation than that created by taking into my system ono of tho small bones of a shad," ho replied. "I can brcatho all right, and feel absolutely no incon venience, but I would like to have this nail removed. I waited long endugh at the hospital today to have my ap pendix tnken out, but- apparently tho physicians were too busy to attend to my case. I felt compelled to get back on tho job, for postmasters all over tho country are bowling for their supplies." Eggs by Wireless tho transmitter in another part of tho building. Tho auditorium being darkened whllo wireless tolegraphy wob demon strated, it was illuminated by the bril liancy of tho discharges, the noise of which was deafening. Tho lighting of a common incandescent globo by wire less followed. A hollow copper ball floating in a Jar of wator was rotated with great rapidity; and a hoavy cop per ring was suspended in midair, and then thrown upward several feet, also by wireless. Professor Wood is a teacher of sci enco in tho seminary and Mr. Tran strom a student Mr. Transtrom has constructed much wonderful electrical apparatus.

Chcsebrough Manufacturing Company 17 Slate Street (Contolidated) CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION Cost of Tuberculosis and Other Pre ventable Diseases Has Been Put Into Figures. Whllo state commissions nnd other bodies are trying to'flnd a method for reducing tho cost of life insurance. Prof. James W. Glower of the "Uni versity of Michigan demonstrates that every policy-holder of a $10,000 or dinary wholo llfo policy could savo about $20 a year on his premiums if tuberculosis nnd typhoid fever were eliminated. Tuberculosis alono causes a loss to such a policy holder of from $10.70 at twenty to $17.G0 at tho ago of Blxty. At ngo of twenty, with tho present high death rate from tubercu losis, this ono disease alono shortens tho completo expectation of llfo by two yqars and 1G8 days. Whllo the death rate from tuberculosis scomB to be declining, tho National Association for tho Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis says that tho combined effort of every man, woman nnd child 1b nec essary to bring about a radical reduc tion in llfo Insurance rates such ao Professor Qlovcr has indicated.
