FASHION HINTS.
New York, July 13. The most re
freshing sights nowadays are the sum
mer woman and the soda water foun
tains. The latter lnse their charm be
cause of thf"Ir storeotyppd appearance,
while the former Is a delight forever
because of the infinite variety display
ed In her tolllettes.
Never was there ,t season when thin
drcss-es played t-o Important a part In
th world of fashion. All the dressy
gowns are long and very fluffy, with
gauzy ruffles mound the feet The
prevailing idea in tho finish at the
hem l to give as much of the diaphan
ous effect as possible and one spes a
series of chiffon nifties aiound the
hem of a foulard gown
Touches of red will prevail through
the remainder of the season A
dressy gown of pale yellow linen Is
trimmed with stitched straps of white
silk. The open blouse Is worn with
a waistcoat of bright rod silk.
An even prettier example Is an ecru
batiste, embroidered with white and
made up with nn elaborately trimmed
skirt and loose bolero that hangs over
a draped waistcoat of red silk.
A new and very smart idea In trim
ming Is the use of taffeta bands on
white batiste. They mny be straight
or waed on the edges, and dotted
over w 1th French dots of embroidered
polka dots. The silk may be white,
or some pale color as you fancy, but In
either case the effect Is stunning. One
band Is at the hem, nnd another mid
way between the waist and the hem,
curving up In the back for skirt trim
ming. One narrower band around the
shoulders outlining the yoke Is a de
lightful finish for the bodice.
Nothing makes a more charming
gown for luncheon or afternoon use
than whlto mohair. A design develop
ed In this material worn n few days
ago had a drop skirt cut to flare and
finished with a hem two Inches In
width. Just above this hem n bias
band of white liberty satin embroid
ered In tiny black French knots was
applied. A little less than two Inches
ahove that another band the width of
the Intervening space w.ts placed.
The narrow belt was of silver.
The Eton Jacket, nn unusually smart
affair, cleared the belt sufficiently In
the back to allow a peep at a palo blue
underblouse. The Jacket was embroid
ered about the edge In scallops with
yellow silk floss, Tiut the mohair was
not cut away from the scallops. The
collar was a sailor, and was made of
the embroidered satin, the edge alBo
embroidered In scallops, but In this
case the satin was cut out. The Eton
wao slightly fitted In the front and
showed a two-Inch part. It was caught
together nt tho bust line by a silver
clasp, fully flvo Inches long, placed
crosswise. The blue silk mull shirt
Moused very sightly. The Jacket
sleeves had wristbands of tho satin
with a puff above.
The hat worn with this gown was
In the shape of a broad-rltnmed sailor
of cream colored straw, bound with
black velvet. The velvet showed nn
Inch nnd a quarter both abovo and un
der the brim nnd had heavy cream lace
draped carelessly over It. Crossing
quills of black were placed nt the front
and bands of black and cream were
wound around tho crown.
These nre the days, by tho wny.when
hats are Incredibly cheap. Every
blessed store of them marks down nil
goods on hand until It would seem
that the.merest bribe In finances might
reach tip and pick down a few French
creations, for they often nre that, or
excellent copies of Paris examples.
A very pretty hat Is nlong the old
fashioned Amazon lines, oval In form,
with a whlto underbrlm. A block vel
vet ribbon runs around the crown nnd
Is tied nt the back In a simple bow
knot, the loops five Inches long nnd the
ends mi Inch or so longer. Tho trim
ming Is simple but extremely effective
nnd the hat goes well with nny frock.
i HER POINT OF VIEW g
R1
ESIDENTS of Mulberry street nre
complaining bitterly of their woes
these hot nights when the
windows must nil be open
and the throngs which go to Nay
Aug park nre almost unmanageable.
It wasn't so bad in the old days when
the cars stopped running early In the
evening nnd the Boulevatd had not
reached the height of Its popularity.
This summer conditions ate almost un
bearable. The crowds which go to the
park nt night have no consideration for
tho residents along the route, nnd nt
nny rate seem largely composed of
hoodlums, for the oblectlonnble lan
guage nnd the general pandemonium
which annoy the lesldents can not he
piodticed by orderly, and well meaning
people. The cars are so frequently dis
abled that long stops are made nnd nt
such times the shouts nnd disgusting
remarks of many Park visitors nte ex
tremely annoying to decent people,
along the line. Probably the railway
company has no authority In the mat
ter, possibly the police would find it
difficult to preserve n reasonable degree
of quiet but It would he better for tho
morals and the peace of the community
If the rules which prevailed n fea.nn
or two ago should again be enforced
that no cars run to the park after S
p. m.
There nre no more Sundays along
that route, for the throngs which
naturally enough seek a breathing
place nt the park, are neither consider
ate of the day nor of Sabbath loving
citizens. The nights ate hideous and
altogether It Is not too mioii to have
something done about this matter.
In Buffalo dining the exposition
when thousands of people arc carried
to the Pan-American grounds on Sun
day as well as other dnys, the utmost
quiet nnd nder aio picf-erved. Any
person using loud or offensive language
on a car Is Invited to get off or keep
still and he finds a choice has to be
made nt once. Whether the street enr
company Is given police authority in
that city I do not know but it is cer
tain that neither on Sunday or any
other day or night or Is nny person
allowed to disturb the residents along
the road or the patrons of the cars.
The street cais however hip not the
exclusive medium of anarchy in the
Nay Aug Patk cas-e. A hoodlum Is n
hoodlum wherever he may be. and pos
sibly the hoodlum who walks is n ttifle
mnie obnoxious than the the one who
ride as he has greater opportunities
to Inflict himself on a long suffering
community. It Is time that the park
should be closed In the evening or that
noisy ribald, filthy language and con
duct should be conti oiled to and fiom
that rcsoit.
It has always been my belief that we
are the better for gaining all posMhle
knowledge In right dlieetlons. You
know that It Is said that every new
language learned besides one's own
tongue Is the discovery of n new world.
It would seen that to become acquaint
ed with a different blanch of f-clencc,
to learn some new fact In nature to
see another hue In a flower. Is to widen
one's horizon, and to enrich the gift
of the senses, yet once In a while the
person who has entertained this theory
runs up against n stone wall and gets
n st.isRoiIng blow In the face. If there
Is aiiMhlng under the sun designed to
drhe the plain ordinary petsnn out of
his series It Is to be obliged to endure
the piesence of another who has
"widened his horizon" until he has a
smattering of everything In the he.tvens
above or the eaith beneath or the
waters that lie under the earth and
who wants to Instruct the remainder
of mankind. A single acquaintance
like this Is enough to dlscouiage the
pursuit of knowledge and to give one
and ardent desire to be a numbskull.
The only discomfort nppionching it
Is to know two people who always want
to nrgue whenever they meet. Any
thing more dismally tiresome than
argument Is difficult to Imagine, nnd
the only worse person to know than n
man who loves to nigue questions Im
possible to settle is the woman who
does the same The best plan to puisue
with a woman who loves aigument
nnd continued to say "scissors" with
her latest breath Is gently nnd sweetly
to chloioform her. The same treat
ment might be applied to a man only
that his retribution Is sure anyway, for
he Is certain to get his head satis
factorly punched sooner or later. What
a mercy It would be if only we could
train ourselves to Indifference and not
to feel that we have been fore ordained
to do battle for our pet theories. We
never by nny possibility gain nny con
verts or anything else In fact beyond
a reputation for n soured disposition,
There Is a mnn out In Oklahoma who
wants a wife so much that he Is willing
to tnko one whether she Is mnld, wife
or widow. If she happens to be In
cumbered with a husband at present
he offers to give her a home as his
housekeeper until she secures a divot ce.
Now what Is the use of passing strict
marriage and divorce laws In Pennsyl
vania nnd having ministers and other
good people He awake nights to plan
reforms In the marriage business when
such Inducements as this are offered
to restive wives. This Is really serious.
The poor men are helpless In the mat
ter. When such proposals are made
by rich merchants and farmers out In
free Oklahoma It Is time for husbands

nrilE QUESTION hi been asked by several ol
1 the readers ol the "Salad" what causes
the so-called working; ol our inland lakes, and
in older to answer this mooted question with
some degree of accuracy, I have made extended
inquiry among those who have observed this
natural phenomenon for many sear md have
also made numerous scientific experiments,
measurements and observations at one of the
lakea (Lake Henry) which ha just begun to
work and the Miming Is tli- rilt:
First, I learned -hy Inquiry tint the lake be
gins to work every jcar at tho early put id
the month ol July, some years earlier and (.orre
later, but never before the to-ir'hi that the
time depends upon tho temperature of the air.

bv cold, rainy weather, to commence again with
warm, clear weather.
Through my own observations and experi
ments 1 learned thit the numerous bubbles
which are seen everywhere In shallow rlaces are
mile by so-called marsh ga, a quantity of
which I collected and found It to be Identical
with the ga which produces the Ignis fatuus
of swamp, a gas due to the decomposition
of vegetable matter. With the water telescope
I found that the upper stratum of the water was
toi muddy to allow the light to penetrate more
than ten feet and by taking samples of the
water at different depths I found that near the
bottom of the lake the water for four or five
feet was comparatively clear, and became more
middy tie nearer the surface the sample was
taken. The tempeiuure of the water at differ
ent depths was at an air temporatuie of 81 de
gree. two (ret below the surface TO degree, at
twelve feet TI degree, and at twenty-three feet,
the deepest point I could find, the thermometer
ehond TO degrees.
Taking all these established facts together the
explanation of the phenomenon becomes very
simple, lr , that It depends entirely upon the
temperature of the water and l pioduced by
the expansion of the ga due to the decomposi
tion of vegetable and animal matter in hc mud

What Is "Constitution" as Applied
to Medical PracticeP
fiuldo Bell. M. P., (Indiana Medical Jour
nal,) very aptly and explosively nvs: Life

inaihine. The work anompllslied rompiehcnds
the forie received In the work and also the
force expended in driving the machine. It is
the same with the human bmlv
But when we take the live force in i on
elderation we find a great rilfTeicnce. There
aie the ,im forces In the living world js
in dead bodies. We can prove this. But
living (ones have certain direction and a
purpose.
'Ihe duck on the water anl the pike in the

Theie inu-t be within something permanent,
trannnlttod from parmtx to nfUpriuc, some,
thing constant In the development of the or
ganism and something indivisible maintaining
the umt. This is proven by the following
facts:
All living organisms imi-Ut in general of
the same suhi-tame, thev up limit up by cells,
they form unit, thev evolve fiom cells and
propagate by tell. We till this, lontiolling

The opponents of this view suffer under a
miscomprehension of things

element forming things. They can not be per

The aniulstie element Is of the unit of nutter

readily recognled. We know at once the dog

Ism aprear as a whole, never hilf or double.
It i also the oue, that we cannot say, the
seed Is the cause of the tree, or tho father Is
the cause of the son, but the maker.
This element controls physiial forces, but
controlled force is the one we consider in the
living body.
At the bedside, when we refer to the consti
tution ol the patient, whlrh may pull him
through, we have this controlled force In mind.
nut part of th work of the living body
is to receive substance and Irritation frmn

Therefore we define constitution as the In

Island Washes Awny.
Svhle Island, off the coast ol Nova Scotli,
where so many ship have been wrecked, is
gradually washing away, and, strange to say,
the Canadian government is doing its he-t to
find a way to ive it. It might be thought, at
flut blush, that it washing away would be the
het thing that could happen, but the trouble Is
that it will wash down Just below the surface
of the water, and then lie there conrealed, an
infinitelv greater danger to navigation than
ever, i-n an effort I to be made to keep It
above water, and this is to be done by plant
ing on it certain trees whose roots have peculiar
binding mialille. The roots branch out widely
and Interlace, clinging tn the sand in such a
wav that It becomes a strong wall. The French
government has used the trees effectively for
ihl purpose, and they have also been used
along the sandy banks of the Suez Canal.Kx.
