THE SUMMER WARDROBE. apple) nioMnni. and PaBodll Linen Among til Seaeon' ftoveltle.. Linens Brc decidedly the mode this summer, nnd surely nothing cnn lie lovelier than the "bloom" linens, whose names of apple blossom, daffo illl, wild' strawberry nnd hawthorne reveal the secrets of their exquisite tones of falut pink, soft yellow or tender greeu. But with all this poesy linens have a strength of texture which wakes them capable of with standing any amount of hard wear, nnd with much I tie stitched trimmings, or cuffs and collar of guipure Ince, form an effective costume at little cost. Home of the new organdie muslins are veritable things of lieanty, and nt conveniently low prices, while, there Is a dainty charm about a white mus lin with openwork stripes, where the pattern consists of a cluster of pink roses caught together by bows nnd trailing ends of pnle blue ribbon. Any oite must full a willing victim to a cool looking all-over design of maidenhair fern In freshest green nnd white, to be worn over a colored slip with rib bons to match the fern. So soft and shimmering are some of the cotton foulards that they would rendily pass for silk if they were not marked with the price of twenty-live cents a yard, with finer qualities at forty cents. They make tip prettily with trimmings of lace Insertion In waved lines, and boleros of the same cotton lace. With summer fabrics nt such mod erate prices It Is possible to Include a number of washing gowns and blouses In one's outfit, which are an absolute necessity to the woman who would present a pleasing picture of dainty freshness and cool comfort even on the hottest of dog days. In the way of trimming lace reigus supreme and on every portion of the costume that affords an opportunity for Its display there It Is In evidence.

Ho not imitate, do not make unnatural or affected changes, but having tried your usual voice critically, decide where It needs Improvement, and hold yourself to the reformation. If you are like nine out of every ten American girls your voice Is pitched too high. Lower It, and make a constant effort to keep It down. Speak from the chest, not from the throat or head.

Bric-a-brac means lomething a little different, suggesting whims and fads, aud the picking up of pretty or Interesting example here ml there. But what I mean by "or naments" are, for lnstunce, the two vases one buys to place on the man tel, because vuses are supposed to be necessary. If one has two which are Interesting lu themselves, well aud good, but never two vuses for the sake of vases. If the youug housekeeper can do noUilug eUu, sue cua at least do without. If she must buy, let her, until she Is quite certain, only buy vases that will hold flowers. They come lu glass and pottery. She wll' always be safe with these.

INVENTOR OF PRINTING. FIVE HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE BIRTH OF CUTENBERC. lie Wat a Native o( the Old Rhenish City of Maveuce A l'atrlclan hjr lllrtlt Learned the Printing Trade and ltev olotlonliod It With Mornhle Type. ' Oermnny lias Just celebrated in n most fitting way the Ave hundredth anniversary of the birth of Johatiu (fntenberg, the Inventor of printing, sue of the most notable and character istic1 of her sons. In the beautiful old Itlicnlsh city of Mayence, the birthplace of the Inventor, there was an exhibition of the trot and the most rtiriotis which the printer's nrt has produced during the past five hundred years. Tuen was nu historical pro cession through the old streets lu which the costumes of (lutenberg's time were reproduced. Hundreds of scholars nnd specialists In printing came from all parts of Oermnny to do honor fo the great man's memory. There were festal excursions on the historic river and Illuminations In the evenings altogether a worthy nnd dignified celebration. No one can ac cuse the Germans of neglecting the memory of their great men. It Is Impossible to state with accu racy the exact year of Gutenberg's birth, but there Is strong reason for believing that he first saw the light some time near the close of the four teenth century. Ills real name was Gensflelsch, Gutenberg being only his cognomen, probably the name of Hie place whence the family came. He be longed to a pnrtrlclan family of May ence, his father seems to hnve been n man of political Importance, for we hear of him ns Involved lu the turmoils which at that time were chronic between the Bishop Elector of Mayence and the guilds uud burgh ers. With his family he was obliged to fly to Strassburg, nnd It was lu the Alsatian city that Gutenberg learned the arts which he was nfterwnrd to turn to such good account. He de voted himself to goldsmith's work, to the manufacture of mirrors, and to experiments In Iron, copper nnd lead. 1 Mulng Gutenberg's residence In Strassburg we gej one or two curious glimpses of him. but nothing that Is sufficient. He had 11 legal dispute with some citizens ns to a certain plant In which he was Interested, but of more human interest is a complaint made against him to the Bishop by a certain Anna of the Iron (iates for refusing to fulfill a pledge he had made to marry her. This Is all we know of Gutenberg until we again hear of him in .May ence, n man of matured middle age, probably fifty years old. Mayence nt that time was n great ecclesiastical centre, aud likely enough Gutenberg had returned to his paternal city to manufacture goldsmith's work for the Bishop Elector nud his clergy. But he must have had other views as well. While lu Strassburg he had his attention turned to the tedious pro cesses Involved In the printing of the Domitl, as the elementary Latin gram mars of the time were called. The let ters were engraved on n large block of wood, much as our wood cuts nre at the present time. We do not know Gutenberg's processes of thought, but the Idea hud evidently struck him that this cuuibious method of production would be Mistly simplified if movable metal letters were employed instead of engraved blocks of wood. In Strass burg lie had set himself the task of molding these letters of various de grees of hardness, and It Is evident that when he returned to Mayence he brought with hlin a considerable sup ply of these movable types. Gutenberg was always a poor man, and evidently thriftless. So on his ar rival iu Mayence he made the ac quaintance of a certain .Tohiiuu Fust, a fifteenth century capitalist, who for n consideration was willing to set up the Inventor ns a printer iu n properly equipped printing office. Gutenberg anxious to get work, accepted Fust's ofl'er. But the business association of the two men was a failure. Guten berg could pay neither capital nor in terest, nnd Fust was compelled to cast about for 11 more business-like partner, whom he found lu the cele brated Peter Schofl'er. Poor Guten berg was deprived of much of his best type, and had It. not been for the mer ciful interposition of n wealthy burgh er, who believed in 111 in, he would have suffered complete commercial shipwreck. He never, however, was able to get his head above water, and after two or three years of painful struggle he gave up the contest agaiust the powerful firm of Fust & Schoffer. Toward the close of his life, prob ably broken dowu by cares aud dls npiMdutniunts, he seems to have Joined the confraternity of lay brothers of St. Victor and to have led an ascetic, prayerful life. His friends managed to procure for him a position as one of the Elector's Servitors, a nomina tion which secured for him a new suit of clothes every year, and a sufficiency of corn and wine for Ills necessities. Once- a yeflr he went to the Elector's cuslle at Eltville to obtain his suit of clothes. He was over sixty when he died an unnoticed man, and few of his townsmen followed hlin to his humble grave In the cloisters of the Dominican monastery It Is to Gutenberg's association with Fust thnt we owe the celebrated Gut enberg Blliles. There were two of these, the first (H.".:i-14.itli with forty two lilies to the page, the second with thirty-six lines. Only thirty-one cop ies of the forty-t wo-llue Bible nre known to exist, some of them im perfect, and of the thlrty-slx-line, only nine, more or less complete, copies. It Is not probable that the forty-t wo-llue Bible was printed lu a larger edition than one hundred copies. A abort time after Its appearance In WM a forly-two-llne Bible was sold In May ence for forty gold guldens, equal to about $"t); and a few years ago in London a good copy reached the enor mous price of $1!HM). It .s pleasant to lemenilier that this old citizen of May ence hud felt the need of printing the Bible. It was this that spurred him 011 to his work, and we nre grateful to him for the large share he has t alien In enabling us now, five hun dred years after his birth, to circulate this most glorious of nil books lu mill ions of copies in ull the laugtiages of the enrth.

Ever since 1 lie trndo In artificial Ice began manufacturers of lee-iiiiikinu plants have been seeking markets lu hot countries, where no natural Ice Is procurable, except lu the neighbor hood of lofty mountains. They have sold some Ice plants in tfoplcal cities, but It Is doubtful If they would have met even with moderate success If it had not liceu for brewers and a few other manufacturers who find Ice de sirable In their business. The people generr.lly get nlong very well without Ice, as their fathers did before them, nnd comparatively few have learned to appreciate Its desirable qualities since the opportunity of buying Ice was presented to them. Our Depart ment of State, somt veins ago, collected facts about th lee ludustry nnd consumption In trop leal countries. It has Just published In the "Consular Reports" the result of the latest Investigations In the saint field. Both these reports show that the people of the tropics care very lit tie for ice, nnd thnt no renl progress Is making toward the general Intra ductlon of Ice in hot countries. In Guatemala, for example. Ice Is used mainly in saloons, restaurants nnd hotels, nnd very few families own 11 refrigerator or buy Ice. The city of San Salvador, with n population of 30.000, consumes only r0Ol) pound? per day; there Is no cold storage In t lie city, nud all meat sold on the markef Is killed the previous ulght. There if not a single Ice plant In Bolivia, but some natural Ice brought by the In dians from the mountains Is sold in La I'm!. In tlie large seaport of Ha I1I11. Brazil, the first attempt nt Ice milking was abandoned becanse there was no demand. For three years past, however, one small plant has been making about one and 11 half tons a day. which Is sold to the hotels and drink shops patronized by the foreign population and a few foreign families. Tlie ice Is not used to preserve food, but only to cool drinks. Butchers say they have no need for lee. The laws require that all meat killed one day Shall be sold before noon next day, and Just enough meat Is killed to sup ply the average daily demand. In the city of Barrnnqullla. Colom bia, there nre 110 refrigerating plants or cooling rooms and meat, not salted soon after tlie animals nre killed, be comes iintlt for food. The Deputy Consul nt (-0I011 writes that 110 towu lu his consular district, except Colon, would consume enough Ice to Justify the erection of a plant. The only ice factory lu Ecuador Is run by n brew ing firm at Guayaquil, and the firm consumes the entire product. Iu Uru guay there Is a prejudice against cold drinks or food refrigeration. Consul Goldschmldt writes from Venezuela that the small demand for ice 'there is due to the fact that victuals and meats are not keut over night, but are daily bought in ,the market for immediate use.

"The curious tiling, however." re marked the Liverpool Courier, "is that it is uot the poorer members who avail themselves of tlie dinner. There are millionaires In the House of Commons to'whom the prospect of a plain meal which they can get without the trou ble of thinking about the menu is a great attraction and they are to be found among the best patrons of this economical dinner."

THERE Is no class has n deep er Interest in good roads than farmers, nnd tlie stran ger estimates tlie progressive character of a community by the con dition of the public highways. Tim time Is past when n mere track through the woods sntlsfles the farm er, nud good road a Is the demand of the period. The good toad convention lately held nt Omaha was Indicative of the Increased Interest In this ques tion, and tho number attending from distant States was proof of the Impor tance of securing lietter roads. The great question was how to build good roads nnd have them permanent. Many of the Eastern men argued for macadam or broken stone for a cover ing for the highways, but some of the Western men thought that very little of the Western limestone could resist the severe frost of winter. In some States the prisoners nnd convicts were put tq wor- to prepare the broken stone for roads; no stocj applied that would not pass through a ring of a given size. This secured n good uniform road bed. Some of the principal roads In the republic were built in this way, and the great na tional rond connecting Washington, D. C, with St. Louis, Mo., is a stand ing evidence of the Importance of building first-class roads to Invite the attention of settlers. The Romans al ways built first-class roads to secure their distant colonies, nud the Incus of Peru built roads extending many hundreds of miles that exist to this day. But none of those rations had the Intelligence and command of re sources that the citizens of this repub lic have. Fanners as 11 class have been the ardent advocates of the railroads nnd contributed largely to their construc tion, and those rich corporations ought to extend n helping hand to Improve, the common roads. There were various schemes agitated in that convention for Improving our highways. One that called for notice was n steel, or Iron track suitable for an ordinary wagon to run on, and an ordinary team could haul four or five tons with ense. This was n flat piece of Iron or steel about six Inches wide with n slight flange 011 the edge, ns there was a double track with just room for the team between; the cart or wagon once 011 could remain or pull olf nt any place, as there should be a double track for going or coming, but it struck the observer that all teams should travel nt a uniform pace. It seemed that the general feeling among the members present was In favor of more efficient rond laws; all road tax to be (laid iu cash. The roadbed once properly constructed nnd rounded up to secure drainage, n covering of a good article of gravel, If easily readied, was tlie cheapest nnd most desirable for our common roads. Now is the time for action. Yon farmers who have nice carriages and spring wagons, etc., feel bnd to haul them over the mud and mire that you have to pass over to your market towns, churches or places of amuse ment. Get together uud secure legis lation on this important movement. Here is n common interest where no political bias can enter. I would suggest tlie agitation of the following reforms, to be secured by the farmers lu aid of good roads, nnd demand consideration of them by your represent n 1 1 ves : First. Thorough change In our road system, and the payment of all rond work In cash. Second. The appointment or elec tion of n county superintendent of roads. He should be a competent en gineer, whose duty should be to pass over all roads in the county and leave instructions to see that the sides of the roads were kept clear of noxious weeds, nud that all taxes were paid, nil bridges kept in good repair, and no person permitted to deposit a bal lot that hud not paid his road tax. If tlie fanners once wake up to the Im portance of Improving our highways they can accomplish all they desire. Take some of the leading roads, keep the road grader smoothing and round ing up the roads and cover n certain number of miles each year with brok eu stone or gravel, aud you will soon have first-class roads to pass over. Iowa Farmer. The Good Iloade Prnipact. The chief obstacle to the general use of tlie automobile in this country Is the disgraceful lack of good roads. Such an event ns tho Paris-Bordeaux automobile luce In France or the Eng lish excursion from London to Edin burgh nud return would be impossi ble iu this country, simply because wo have uot got 5iK continuous miles of road Ut for the automobile or for any other vehicle. But the movement In favor of good roads which gained such reinforce ment from the bicycle Is being strength ened by the introduction of tho auto mobile. A project has been started among a colony of wealthy summer resldeuts of New Hampshire to im prove a tourists' roadway of fO0 miles from Boston to Dublin, N. II., theuce up the Connecticut Valley, through the White Mountains, dowu to llie .Malue coast nnd back to Boston. The disastrous failure of a ncent attempt to travel by automobile from New York to Buffalo demonstrated the disgraceful condition of tlie ordinary roads iu the Empire State. If the New Euglaud project results In giving us MKI continuous miles of good road It will be a valuable nnd much-needed object lesson. New York World.
