ing shown, theso being very largo and
trimmed with wings ns a rule.
But one of tho most popular
shapes seems to bo tho derby, mndo

but Is becoming to tho young wom

when It Is becoming It Is very, very
smart in appearance.
More About Hat.'.
Colored hats of braid, with rolling
brim made on wlro frames and
trimmed with changeablo taffeta, aro
used for darker hats. Immenso bows
of ribbon, with standing loops, form
tho trims. Bordered and fancy rib
bons aro used for these big ribbon
decorations and loops aro wired to
keep them in tho upstanding posi
tions. Although but one trimming ma
terial Is used, or at most two, on
this plass of millinery amplo quan
tities aro necessary of this slnglo
material. Hows aro very large,
sweeping like wings, from tho body
of tho hat. But somo small fancy
feather ornaments aro effectively
used on small shapes. They are
vivid in coloring as a rule, with
cerise and primrose the favorites and
the strongest of bright greens next.
It is already settled that black and
white will have a great vogue in the
coming mid-summer.

Durbar interest has crept into the
jeweler's realm, and henco the very
latest things in this line aro tho In
dian armlets (to bo worn on tho
bare arm or over tho sleeve) and the
Tajah ring. The latter is a facsimile
of tho ring worn on tho llttlo too of
tho dancing girls of India. It
reaches below the joint of tho fin
ger and rests on the back of the
hand. In trying it on most women
place it upside down. It makes a
striking unique dinner ring.
Nearly all tho armlets are colled
serpent designs, for tho serpent Is a
lucky emblem In India.

THE CHESTNUT BLIGHT.
Different Phases of the Blight Dis
cussed and Explained ly S. JS.
Dettviler, Executive Olllecr of
Blight Commission.
Few people recognize the blight in
tinio to save the affected trees, as
the trees show little outward sign of
their true condition until irreparably
injured. The disease may bo lo
cated and recognized by some or all
of the following characteristics:
1. Dead branches, usually with
withered leaves clinging to them. In
the spring, prior to death, the leaves
on tho infected branches remain
small and sickly looking, and grad
ually tako on a yellowish tinge.
When theso leaves finally die, they
have a peculiar wilted appearance.
The burrs also remain small and un
developed. On tho branches attack
ed after the leaves have fully de
veloped, the leaves assume their yel
lowish or reddish-brown fall colors.
On trees killed by blight during the
growing season, prior to September,
toth leaves and burrs usually remain
clinging to tho branches during tho
following winter, and are of great
value in helping to locate Infected
trees. All dead branches should bo
examined closely for further Indica
tions of the disease, particularly at
the base of the dead parts.
'2. Cankers on diseased branches
or the trunk, whero tho foark is not
thick and rough. Theso cankers are
areas of dead, discolored sunken
bark, often moro or less broken by
cracks or cheeks Into the inner "bark.
Old, thick bark does not change in
outward appearance until a year
or so after it is diseased, when it
ibeglns to peel from tho tree in
'shreds.
Prior to shedding, thick bark
which is diseased, gives forth a
peculiar hollow sound when struck
with a hammor, duo to a spaco be
tween tho wood and bark caused by
the decay of tho inner bark.
3. Small reddish blisters appear
on cankers with smooth ibark. Later
tho tops of these blisters burst, form
ing small wart-like eruptions of pus
tules of a sulphur-yellow, orange or
brown color. In tho deep cracks
of old bark, tho pustules form red
dish or orange-colored lines. These
pustules aro the fruiting bodies
which form the spores. Sometimes
bright yellow, twisted threads of tho
tiny mlcroscopo spores aro sent out
from tho pustules. Theso threads
aro jelly-like at first, but soon be
come firm and brittle They vary
from one-sixteenth to one-half inch
in length, and are dissolved )y tho
rain, which distributes tho spores
over tho surface of tho bark.
4. The mycelium or tho vegetative
portion of tho fungus shows as
small, irregular fanshaped areas of
yellowish or buff-color, when tho
surface of diseased bark Is shaved
off or cut Into slant-wlso. This Is
tho portion which produces tho
spore-bearing pustules, and also tho
part that saps tho llfo of tho bark.
C. Death of tops, or of entire
trees. Theso dead trees aro often
conspicuous for the reddish brown
patches of bark, duo to tho presence
of tho postules,
C. Suckers or water sprouts, which
develop at tho baso of tho cankers
or at tho baso of tho diseased tree.
They aro froquontly very numerous,
and grow vigorously for ono or two
seasons, after which thoy aro usual
ly killed by tho fungus.

shepherd's checks are particular fav

aro developed in a style that has
only shoulder seams.
For tho small girl, where the sin-
Experience has shown that it is
difficult to save individual trees af
ter they have been attacked by the
blight. The only remedy which has
proved of any value in saving in
dividual trees is to cut off tho affect
ed branches one to two feet below
tho infection. Whore the disease is
attacking largo branches, or the
trunk, tho Infected portion must 1e
gouged out with a clilsei so as to re
move all trace of tho fungous fila
ments (mycelium). This mycelium
Is found some distance beyond the
canker, in apparently sound bark,
and it also works through the wood
beneath tho canker. Sinco it is
practically impossiblo to detect the
mycelium whero it Is just beginning
its work, it Is necessary to cut sev
eral Inches Into tho sound bark be
yond tho canker, and at least an inch
into the wood beneath it, in order to
be sure that all Infection is removed.
All tho affected wood and ibark
should bo carefully collected and
burned. Tho wounds made by cut
ting off branches or gouging out
wood and bark should bo thoroughly
drenched with Bordeaux mixture,
and then well coated with shellac or
tar to prevent the entanco of spores.
Also, It Is well to dip tho cutting
tools in Bordeaux mixture, to de
stroy any spores adhering to them.
Even when tho disease is just start
ing, and the above treatment Is giv
en by careful and experienced men
working under the best conditions, it
is often impossible to save tho trees.
So far no spray has been found
which will kill tho mycelium (beneath
tho bark. Tho only practical meth
od of destroying tho spores and
thereby checking further spread of
the blight is to fell tho infected
trees and destroy tho bark and
brush. Tho trees should bo thrown
so that they will ibreak as few limbs
as possible on adjoining sound trees.
All trees that show infection, no
matter how slight, should bo re
moved. As soon as tho treo Is fell
ed, tho badly infected parts, that is,
tho parts showing cankers and pus
tules, should bo cut out anCf burn
ed at once, If the condition of tho
woods permits lighting of a flro
without danger of Its spread. Tho
portions of tho treo which aro to
ibo used should then bo carefully
peeled, and the 'bark, together with
branches and other unbarked por
tions of tho tree, should bo conpleto
ly destroyed by burning. Tho stumps
should bo cut as low as possible,
and tho bark peeled to tho ground
lino.
It should bo Impressed on every
one thnt overy particle of diseased
bark must bo destroyed. Now In
fections aro frequently found along
roads, railroads, tolcphono nnd tele
graph lines, showing that thoro is
danger In transporting tho product
of diseased trees, unless tho bark
ing Is carefully and conscientiously
done. It is especially dangorous
to haul cordwood from Infected
trees, unless all tho infected bark
has beon destroyed boforo this ma
terial is moved from tho spot whero
tho treo is felled.

terian home and foreign, and Bap
tist home, have just announced their
financial figures for last year, and
tho Methodist foreign has mado up
and announced its receipts for pre
sentation to tho General Conference
at Minneapolis. Tho Methodist for
eign mission receipts fall off ?83,
000 in its general fund, although it
gains in its total receipts because of
special gifts. The Methodist board
shows, for tho four years since the
last General Conference, receipts of
15,058,281, a general growth in
total and a growth in regular gifts
in all of the four years save last
year. The Baptist home took over
a debt of $25,000 a year ago, and
this year adds ?40,000 to it.
Tho Presbyterian Board of For
eign Missions, just closing Its books,
is celebrating its seventy-fifth an
niversary this year. Its receipts ex
ceed $1,950,000. There has been
used during tho year $750,000 of
tho Kennedy legacy, but It is a sep
arate account. Of tho receipts last
year, which are far ahead of any
previous year, $170,000 camo from
legacies, a gain of $70,000 over or
dinary years and $200,000 from tho
women, raised chiefly as tho result
of tho Women's Jubilee, keeping up
their usual receipts about $400,000
a year.
Tho Presbyterian Foreign Board
states, through its treasurer, that its
only gains to bo credited to larger
interest by laymen amount to $43,
000, but it has not had time sinco
ending its year to ascertain whether
tho increase is duo to gifts from lay
men or not. Tho amount credited
to individuals, possibly women, year
boforo last was $228,000, and tho
amount last year $271,000. Presby
terian churches as such fell off
least year in their gifts $10,000.
Tho income of tho Presbyterian
Board of Homo Missions last year
was $1,800,000, breaking all rec
ords, and it has Increased Its budget
for next year by $100,000. Its In
crease is not, it says, from churches
or from laymen, but chiefly from
legacies. Theso amount to $300,
000, an unprecedented amount.
Women also increased their gifts,
while maintaining their own re
ceipts, by about $150,000. Tho
legacies go into permanent funds, to
be used when necessary to keep tho
Board out of debt, to bo afterwards
replaced.

THE BOY SCOUT
AND THE BULLET
By F. A. MITCHEL.
THE Union and Confederate ar
mies were marshnllng on and
about that field whero was 'to
bo fought tho great decisive
battle of tho civil war Gettysburg.
Hondo's nrmy was concentrating from
different directions, each corps ns It
arrived taking position along thnt lino
of hills, ono of which Is now covered
with Btonc and marble mementos of
the thousands who fell In that gigantic
struggle. Lee's nrmy was marching
from tho south, its advance columns
ns they arrived distributing them
selves In positions aligned them by
the commander iu chief, the wholo
when complete to form an attacking
force.
Among tho many detached Federal
forces hurrying to the control point
,. -B . ' .TT.i v I . vk w-
"WELT,," CALLED TUB COLONEL, "WI1AT DO
yon see?''
was a bri.sado marching on a road
leading eastwnrd and on a Hn south
of Gettysburg. Its commander, a colo
nel, suddenly found his troop3 entan
j;led among tho scattered Confederate
forces marching northward. Either he
must find an outlet or he must be cap
tured. Being without a guide nnd not
knowing the country, his position was
perilous. Slttiug on his horse where
two dirt roads met, surrounded by his
staff, all wearing anxious faces, the
colonel was at a loss what route to
take. A house stood back in an angle
between the roads, and in the doorway
stood a boy about ten years old. He
had never before seen a soldier, and
his eyes were wide open with aston
ishment nnd admiration.
"Boy," said tho colonel, pointing, "do
you know where that rond lends to?"
"That road? That leads up on to the
Hagerstown turnpike."
"Straight?"
"No; crooked."
"Are there roads forking from It?"
"Lots of 'em dirt roads. But if yon
follow the creek you'll get there."
"Whero does tho creek cross the Ha
gerstown pike?"
'Bout a mile from town."
"What town?"
"Gettysburg."
"How would you Hko to come along
with us and show us tho way?"
"Bully!"
"Orderly, cake him up with you."
Tho boy eagerly ran forward. An
orderly caught his extended hand and
swung him up iu front of him. Then
the colonel sent an aid to order the
brigado to follow.
Several roads converged townrd tho
point the colonel was making for, nud
marching in tho samo direction on his
right was a column of Confederate
troops, with another ou his left. But
the three columns wero too far apart
to know of one another's proximity.
Finally tin Union men heard sounds on
their right. Tho colonel jfent a small
force of cavnlry In that direction to
reconnolter. They camo back, report
ing u road filled with Confederates.
"We must get off this road," said the
colonel unxlously, and he gave mi or
der for tho command to oblique into
tho field oil the left.
"There's another road," said the boy.
"on nhend, with n lot of Umber on both
sides. You might hide in thoro."
A grim smile Htole over the features
of the members of tho staff at tho idea
of troops hiding from an enemy, but
the eoloueL too keenly sensitive to the
situation to notico tho way the boy liad
expressed it, gave an order to hurry
on to tho hiding place. The brigade
soon reached tho wood, and tho colonel,
listening, heard confused sounds cnls
sons rumbling, occasional shouts and
now and again tho report of u musket
shot
"Is there anybody hero who can
climb n treo?" asked the colonel.
"I Uin!" cried tho boy before any one
else could reply.
"'ou gentlemen of tho staff!" snap
ped tho commander. "Is thoro any ono
of you who can get up in that treo and
look, about? I want to know whero tho
enemy la and how wo cau get away."
Tho staff officers wero booted and
spurred, not a convenient foot eover
Inc wltli which to climb trees. Each
man looked up nt tno tree, Due no one
volunteered.
"Somo one," tho colonel went on ir
ritably, "must get where ho can sco
about us nnd find an unobstructed
routo or we'll all bo captured."
"Why don't you let me go up?" said
tho boy.
"Go," said the colonel.
The boy slid down from the order
ly's horse nnd ran to tho tree. Uaviug
no foot covering, ho was well accou
tcrcd for climbing. One of tho order
lies put him ns high on tho trunk as
ho could reach whero thcro wero a
few scattered lower branches, nnd the
boy did the rest. As soon ns ho got
to n iolnt where tho branches were
thick ho ran up Hko a squirrel, never
stopping even for breath till he reach
ed a point whero ho had nn unob
structed view.
"Well," called the colonel, "what do
you see?"
"Sojcrs, lots of 'cm, that a-way,"
pointing.
"Where else?"
"There, and there, and there!" look
ing east, west and south.
A. bullet sang away up whero the
boy was.
"Como down," cried tho colonel,
"but note, if you can, a way for us to
get away from those troops."
"March straight up there," pointing
northeast. "That's tho only place
where there ain't nono of 'em."
"Como down."
And the boy did como down, pitch
ing from his lofty perch, struck by a
bullet from a sharpshooter. They pick
ed him up and. carrying him with
them, escaped by the route ho had in
dicated, lie wns burled with tho hon
rs of war.
