a NEW DRESS NOTES. | Pretty Fabrics That Will Be in Vogue for the Coming Sea- } son. j he very latest word from over the that the short box coat of velvet, brocade or moire is to rival the glans, newmarkets and empire , cloaks put on over rich evening dresses | if every description during the pres- ent season. Unless the skirt seams of the long envelpping wrap are slashed ‘ft is almost impossible to raise the “trained skirt from floor or pavement | with any degree of grace or ease, and in the interests of fashion as wellas in _the interests of spring and summer trade the new elegant box coat is pre- » sented—easy to put on and off, made | with open flowing sleeves, lined with ', white satin and lavishly trimmed with accordion-plaited chiffon frills about » the neck and down the front, says the _ New York Post. Among new canvas and grenadine fabrics square-meshed weaves will be — very much favored, particularly those with the one-third-ineh block and a tiny square mot. New Stuart and oth- _ er fancy plaids composed of grouped | lines forming half-inch blocks, the ler squares combined with circles segments of circles, are also to be en. Chenille or velvet dots, ranging size from the pin to those larger han a pea, are still favored both yamong fancy trimmings of tulle, chif- i fon and crepe lisse, and on light tex- f tiles designed for entire gowns. The demand at present is for black mate- rials,» but white chiffon, India mull, silk veiling and grenadine are likewise ‘correct, Among the high-class dress fabrics now on exhibition are plain and fancy goliennes, etamines, crepes de chine, chiffons and nun’s veilings, poplins, silk-warp henriettas and mohairs, plain, dotted and embroidered ba- istes, fine Scotch woolen in novel ef- / fects, New satin-striped and artistical- ly-figured French challies, black gren- } adines in all silk or silk and wool, in dots, figures and stripes, and albatross weaves for street, house and evening wear. Applique decorations in lace, jet, cut > velvet or cloth, and bits of otter, sable or mink in leaf designs, scrolls and various conventional patterns are in- Riegant gown, redingote, wrap and laborate dress skirt. HINTS ON SPRING HATS. But Little in the Way of Elegant Sim- Plicity Appears in the Season's Millinery, Spring hats have blossomed out in a very realistic way, with flowers in the lead for decoration, Roses of every tint are first on the list, but every sort of exquisite floral design is in evidence on new French models. Round hats formed of foliage trails and rose clusters are among the most fascinating of the styles. The4Shaded ping rr . with delicate petals that seem ready to fall at the slightest motion, used for either brims or crowns, sometimes roses cover the entire crown, and the grace- fully arranged green leaves form the brim, or the arrangement is reversed. Many of the large hats are made yet more imposing by reason of very Jarge bows of wide satin ribbon ar- ranged at the back of the hat, says the New York Post. . Again, a Span- .ish scarf is draped around the base of the crown, with the ends falling over the hair at the back. Seme of the scarf ends on summer hats will reach to the waist and these will be formed variously of Bruges, Vene- tian, Chantilly or Flemish lace, or of net, chiffon, or tulle. Running to ex- cess in the matter of dress or mil- linery has for some time been a foible if not a serious fault of La Mode. Excess tends to the ostenta- tion that most generally indicates vulgarity. Thus far spring millinery shows but little in the way of elegant simplicity. Nearly all the. flowers are very pretentious as to size, and on the greater portion of the French models they, with draperies of chif- fon or tulle caught with large con- spicuous buckles, and combined with huge loops of ribbon or plumes va- riously disposed, impart to the hat a top heavy and greatly overdone ef- fect that is neither really artistic, attractive nor becoming. Its attrac- tion to the great majority lies alone fm the fact that it is the fashion. a prettiest hats yet shown are the on foliage models above men- honed. Sen's Egs Croquettes. "Boil six eggs ten minutes, remove and place in cold water. When cold, _ break off the shells and chop the eggs fine. Melt one tablespoonful butter, add one heaping tablespoonful flour, - one cupful milk, stir and cook to a _ thick, smooth sauce, season with a half teaspoonful salt, a quarter tea- spoonful pepper; mix the yolks of with two tablespoonfuls cream, add them tothe sauce; add " also a half teaspoonful English mus- tard, stir and cook two minutes, then i for a few minutes, remove and the mixture on a flat dish; POINTS ABOUT FLOUR. Thct of Good Quailty Alwa: Sweet and Nutty Smeli— A Good Test. A familiarit? with the chemical re- lations of the food plants we culti- vate makes still more apparent the | relation of chemistry to the prepa- ration of the products for bodily use, |; Says the Washtngton Star. Considering the nature of a plant from a ultilitarian point of view we place wheat not only first among the cereals, but assign it second to no other growing thing in the plant world, as it is certainly the most wonderful. The wheat grain is a storehouse of strength and energy and worthy to be called the “queen of cereals.” The grain is surrounded by two coats, the outer covering or cuticle and the inner composed of bran cells; lying underneath this are the gluten cells, which contain fat and salts; the center of the grain is occupied by starch cells. Cerealine, a form of diastase, is associated with the starch and helps to make the latter self-digesting. The covering or cuticle of the bran cells is removed by grinding, and the result is a perfectly digestible flour, white or yellowish-white in color and fine and smooth in texture. The amount of grinding, after the sepa- ration of the bran, determines the color of the flour, The yellowish- white denotes the presence of gluten, while the pure white may contain very little except starch. Good flour always has a pleasant smell, that may be described as nutty and sweet, and with no suspicion of a rancid or acid taste. A test of good flour is the amount of water it will absorb, and it should not contain more than 15.2 per cent. of water in order to keep well. If a flour, wheth- er of the entire wheat or a white flour, is dark-colored, it indicates dampness either in harvesting or storage and gives grounds for sus- pecting quality and cleanliness of the flour, ‘To produce extremely white flour the grain is sometimes ground to ex- cess and a greater part of the gluten, and with it much of the fat and salts are removed, Such Aour cannot make aultenie for cakes ree gifts or in such cookery as demands a consider- able amo®nt of fat and has the addi- tion of milk, eggs, ete., to make a rich combination of the different food elements. Whole wheat meal, while contain- ing more nutrition, is apt to be irri- tating on account of the outer coat consisting of cellulose and siliceous matters. While these qualities are useful to persons of sedentary hab- its, there are often objections to its use on account of the irritating qual- ities mentioned. There is a happy medium, however, in the decorticated whole wheat flour. The two already mentioned outer layers are stripped off and the flour finely ground so that any mechanical irritation of the di- gestive canal is avoided. DREW THE LINE AT MURDER. The District's Dead-Shot Didn't Want to Kill Only a Piece of a Man, On his last visit to Philadelphia Col. Henry Watterson told a story that did not get into print, says the Philadel- phia times. It was about a much bat- tered old lawyer who went up into the mountain region to collect a claim. He was lame and half blind and one- armed. A local celebrity in the case was the district’s dead shot, who had killed many men and who was ready to shoot anything or anybody. He came in daily to see the lawyer about a case in which he was interested un- til his visits became extremely tire- some. Finally the lawyer exclaimed: “Get out of here and stay out of here. Get out right away. I’msick of seeing you. stand there. Go on out, I tell The desperado looked at the wreck of a man in incredible dismay, and before he knew what he was doing he was backing out of the room. Whenhe reached the street he burst into tears. The inhabitants crowded around and asked him what was the matter. “He druv me out,” he wailed. “Druv me right out of the room. Said he’s tired 0’ lookin’ at me and won't let me come back no more.” “Why didn’t you shoot him?” asked the crowd. “Shoot him?” echoed the slayer of many lives. “Shoot him? He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t see. He’s deef and couldn’t hear. He couldn’t run and he couldn’t fight.

Nobody seems to know what has | become of the provincial government which was understood to have been established Monday under M. Bois- roud Canal, a former president. Clashes between the partisans of | the numerous presidential candidates continued yesterday afternoon. The folowers of Gen, Colin attacked the adherents of Gen, Defli, the military | commander here, The firing was se-! vere for about an hour, but so far as | is known very few people were killed or wounded. Gen, Defli was compelled to evacuate the Hotel de la Place and retreated to the palace, where he barricaded himself and his followers, having previously secured a good supply of ammunition, Some time before midnight there was an- other outbreak of firing, and this time the casualties were somewhat severe, At about the time that the former president embarked on the French steamer here news was received from Cape Haitien on the north coast to the effect that Gen. Firman, late Haytian minister in Paris, had ar- rived at Cape Haitien and had been proclaimed president. The dispatches added that the whole north and northwest of Hayti had declared in favor of Gen, Firman, oints io ai din ain ain dip dip dip Sb sib Gb ib ib Sab Seb Wa Std At Sep Ate Mt Ste ME Ai ae ae Mae ib st ie ai iv hie MISSOURI STATE BANK, OF BUTLER, MISSOURI.

New York, May 13—James Taylor, who was one of the officers of the | Roraima, the Quebec steamship line steamship which was destroyed in Pierre, gives a graphic story of the tragedy of last Thursday, says a dispatch from St. Kitts, island of St. Christopher, B, W. L: “We experienced the great- est difficulty in getting into port,” said he. “Appalling sounds were is- suing from the mountains behind the town which was shrouded im darkness, All the passengers were up and some were trying to obtain photographs. Suddenly I heard a tre- mendous explosion, Ashes began to fall thicker upon the deck, and I conld see a black cloud sweeping down upon us, I dived below, and dragging with me Sumuel Thomas, @ gangwayman and fellow-country- man, sprang into a room, shutting the door to keep out the heat that was already. unbearable, The ship rocked and | expected every moment that it would sink, It soon became unbearably hot and T went on deck, All about was lying the dead and the dying. Little children were moan- ing for water. I did what I could for them. I obtained water, but when it was held to their swollen lips they were unable to swallow, because of the ashes which clogged their throats, One little chap took water in this method and rinsed out the ashes but even then could not swallow, so badly was his throat burned, He sank back unconseious All aft the ship was afire, and from the land came draughts of terrible heat. At last, when IT could stand it no longer, | sprang overboard, The water was almost hot enough to par- boil me, but a wave soon swept in from theocean, bringing with it cool water, I was caught in the receding wave, which was of tidal velocity and earricd out to sea, Then on the see- ond return of the wave I was washed against an upturned sloop, to which I clung. A few minutes later I was joined by another man whom I learned was Capt. Muggah, of the Roraima, He was in dreadful agony and kept begging piteously to be put on board his ship. Seeing the Rod- dam, which had arrived in port soon after we anchored, making for the Raraima, I said good-by to Capt. Muggah and swam to the Roddam.
