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.

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

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.

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

ELECTRICAL discharges of hun

burning without any wire connection,
egg frying by wireless, wlreess tele

trical phenomena, and also wonders of
liquid air, wero demonstrated In a
lecture by Professor L. 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

tho pan. Two hundred 'of the audlenco

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

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."

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.

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.
