High quill fancies, alone or in combi- nation with bands, are favorably men- tioned. The majority of these are made of €oq or goose feathers, wonderfully col- ored. Odd-looking birds with tall, slim talls are smart. Long pointed wings of hackle are to continue a strong fea- ture. The new floral toques and hats are delicious. They are dainty beyond all words, and they are, almost all, be- coming. A turned-up hat I saw recently was & symphony in violet. The crown was completely covered with exquisitely made violets, and the mount which stood out at one side was made of vio- lets and violet leaves. Then the brim of the hat was covered with chip in a dull shade of violet, and the intention is that & white lace veil should accom- pany this particular model. This style of hat is very fashion- HE heart of the summer could not be more fully expressed in any able in Paris. Some of the new floral toques are rather wonderful in outline, They are made with turban brims and very high pointed crowns, the latter completely covered with small flowers. In other cases the entire toque is cov- ered with flowers and a butterfly how in black moire or black satin is intro- duced at one side. Either design is extremely effective. A great many pure white silk hats are worn, especially in the morning, in conjunction with smart tallored suits in white serge or pastel tinted cloth. ! These charming hats are as a rule made with flat, narrow brims, and in many cases the crowns are high and straight, like the crown that was so much admired when it was intro- duced some time ago. White peau de sole or white shantung is a favorite material for covering these hats, and some charming little models are en- tirely covered with lengths of ribbon which show a picot edge. The small black hat shown above {8 edged with lace and tastefully trimmed with a large bow of cluny lace and aigrettes. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. / in its airiness and originality of design. From the establishment of Lewis, apparel than it is in these two ex- | in Paris, comes another simple and quisite hats. Full-blown roses, of the | striking hat for the end of the sum- large garden variety, are used on both of them. The first bat, rather small, shows a marvelously clever and orig- inal combination of the simplest of | It is made of | black silk braid and blue satin rib- | millinery materials. bon over the lightest of frames. There 18 a finish of horsehair braid forming a rufie about the brim edge. The materials are put on the frame in the | simplest possible manner, a row of braid alternating with a band of rib- | bon. The edge is bound with a nar- row fold of velvet to which the ruf- fle is sewed. There is a facing of thin satin in black. One large full-blown rose is mount- ed at the back and a sister rose sets i close to the left side near the edge of i the brim. The model is finished by setting small green buds and little | sprays of follage about the crown and brim. The charm in this model les mer. It is a blocked shape of hemp tilting upward at the back. Except for the wreath of full-blown pink roses which extends over the crown and en- tirely acroes the hair at the back, and a flat sash of ribbon which slips through slashes in th'e crown and ter- | minates in a bow on the bandeau, the shape is without decoration. This model was made for no less a person- age than the Princess Zeziaunoff, on whom it is pictured. No flower is quite so appropriate when the summer has reached its) height as the big garden rose for trim- ming mid-summer millinery. But it must be cleverly handled. An ap-| pearance of weight or overelaboration is out of place at this season. The two models portrayed here demon- | strate more clearly than words the excellence of simplicity. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. MISTAKEN IDENTITY By GENE SHEAR. 000000000000000000000000 There was a crowd of eighteen or twenty men in the barroom of the ho- tel in the western terminus of the stage line, and the hour was nine o'clock in the evening, when three men entered with pistols in their hands and walked over to where a middle aged man sat in a chair tiited back against the wall A hush fell upon the room at once. “T'row up your hands!™ com- manded the lead- er of the trio, as he halted before the man referred | to. Up went the man’s hands. He was in no great hurry about it, ; and yet he lost no time. “S'arch him for weepins!” A second man stooped forward and | passed his hand over the man in the chair, but found nothing. “What does this mean, Bill?" asked the landlord, finding his voice at last. “Waal, this "ere is Tenderfoot Char- lle,” was the reply, “the feller that killed Abe Shotwell over at St. Claire last week.” “Sure of 1t?” “Sartin sure.” “And what are you goin’ to do with him?” “Hang him to & Iimb! The boys will be yere purty quick.” The man in the chair lowered his | hands and searched for a match to light bis pipe. All looked at him, but he hadn't a word to say. He smoked and looked around in a careless way, and finally Bill remarked: “Hev yo' nuthin’ to say, Charite?” “Nuthin’, 'cept thar won't be any bangin’,” was the answer. “But you bet thar will be! There's the boys with the rope! Stranger, thar’s gojn’ to be a leetle exhidishun out on the squar’, and it's free to all. Cum along, prisoner, and it ye try any :Hch on me it'll be death by shood 0’1" The prisoner was marched out and everybody followed. About thirty men had gathered outside, and the crowd tramped down the street and around the corner to the public square. When the noose had been flung over Charlie’s head and drawn tight the man called Bill sung out: “Now, then, hev you any remarks to make before the bar1 is kicked away ™ “I'd just like to say that thar won's be any hangin',” replied the man. “Don’t joke in the presence of death!” “Bay, now, who you got yere!" called & voloe in the crowd. - “Tenderfoot Charlie!® chorused a | dozen men. “Jest wait a minit!” A man advanced, took the lantern jand held it up to the prisoner's face, and then cried out: “Waal, you are a nice crowd! Thlt'l} no more Tenderfoot Charlie than I be! Don’t nobody kick that bar'l!” “Stranger, who be you?’ asked Bill, as he came forward. “Joe Strong,” was the reply. “Why, the feller who has just ben| 'lected to the legislchur ?” “The same."” . ‘“Then, why in Texas didn't you say so?" “Then, why in Texas didn't ye ask me? Besides, I'd a leetle rather be hanged than go to the legislachur’, and 80 ye can go ahead with yer chokin’!” They didn't, however. It was Bill's treat, and considering the size of the crowd and the amount of water in the whisky, it was well done. —_— Cats. Cats are urban nightingales, sing off key.

A statute mile is 6,280 feet. For ; navigating purposes a mile of latitude |'and a minute of latitude are consid . ered to be of equal value. Consequent- |1y a nautical mile equals the length of a minute of the meridian, and, strictly speaking, is different for every latitude. The United States sea mile is 6,083.66. For charting and other purposes ten cables equal one knot, although a cable length is gen- erally assumed to be 600 feet. The term “knot” originated from the fact that knots were tied in the log line which was used to ascertain the rate of speed a ship was making through the water. The Magyars. The Magyars made their appearance fn Europe about the year 880. They | were a branch of the Turanian stock and are related to the Lapps and Finns. The Magyar, or native Hun- garian language, is, like the Magyarg themselves, of Asiatic origin, and still retains its Turanian features. It is still spoken by most (though not all) of the Hungarian people of the Aus- | trlan empire, German being the ve- : hicle of speech and writing with many | of the Magyars.
