This summer's shirt waists are an evi
dence of women's triumph. That Is, they
show fhat wearers' of the simple waists
of many seasons past have at last in
duced makers to supply shirt waists suit
able for dressy use. So, with the usual
abundance of simple ones', shirt swalsts
arc more numerous and diverse than ever
before. For the simple blouse nothing is
prettier thnn white ljnen correctly cut
and fitted. In heavy linens there Is a
style "of waist that is made very broad
on the -shoulders and is finished down the
front with silk frogs. All the heavy ma
terials whether mercerized or not ore
made simply. White, materials with col
ored polka dots make up prettily when
stitched to .match the dot. Very dainty
thinner blouses of white and delicate
tinted dimities open down the back, where
they are finished with a narrow box-pleat
with a group of fine tucks at either side.
The front Is In groups of tucks sometimes
finished with insertion and utedalllouij of
lace 'or embroidery. The blouse that
bags all around is very stylish, but needs
much trimming. Absolutely plain mate
rial made In this way Is far from attrac
tive. Thin silk, India' lawn, handkerchief
linen, batiste, net and lace have a lilgh
place on the list of fine shirt waist fab
rics. Many waists of these stuffs are
worn with silk, satin and thin wool skirts.
French mulls make lovely waists either In
plain color, white or flowered designs'.
A handsome plaid effect Is shown In this
material and makes tip stunningly. There
ore plaldcd dimities, too, that are pret
ty In this use. A waist of one of them
that showed green, rose pink and white
appears In the middle of tho third illus
tration.' White anil, black silk fagottlng
gave Its trjmmlng. On Its left is a waist
of white India lnwn, tucked and finished
with white lace insertion. Yokes appear
on many waists, and are either shirred,
tucked, pleated or bauds of bias folds
of goods held together with herringbone
fir feather stitching. Sleeves are larger
thaii'carly in the season and arc trlnuucd
freely. Many handsome waists button
down" the back, which allows- of generous
trlmmlugfor the front. Laco collars uro
made .to wear with, the plain blouses of
thin silk and sheer'goods, and there are
cuffs to match. Irish lace is much em
ployed for this purposo. The collars ex
tend to the shoulders and run down to
the waist line in front.

UNCLE SAM ISSUES A
PAMPHLET ON MOSQUITOES,

What's the use of suffering from rrm
Inrln when you enn avoid the shake
and the doctor's bill by merely side
stepping? Dr. L. 0. Howard, who Is lu

agricultural cud of the government, has
Issued a pamphlet that ought to be
cnlled "Uncle Sinn's Mosquito Guide."
It tells whnt kind of mosquitoes to
fight shy of and what kind to meet
with the glad hand. The Culex Is the
"harmless night singer; tho Anopheles Is
the chills and fever distributer.
When a mosquito comes whining
your way, observe hltn closely before
you let him get In his. bill. If he hits
clear wings you may allow hltn to
take n meal. He Is the Culex. He won't
hurt you to speak of, nnd the gratitude
ho will feel over the repast will amply
repay you for the sting. If, on the oth
er hand, you notice that he has spotted
wings, take an ax or a crowbar and gu
after hltn. He Is the mnlarla-liaullng
kind nnd with one nip can lay you up
for the summer.
If you nre In doubt, there Is another
way to distinguish tho harmless from
the villainous the Culex looks hump
backed when he In resting upon the
wall or the window pane; Anopholes Is
straight. i
Dr. Howard advises you to search out
the Anapholcs within a radius of a nillo
from your house. Slay nnd spare not,
for every one may mean a month's
chills and fever. If you clean them all
out a mile from your home, ydu may
send your unused quinine back to the
drug store and exchange It for root beer
or Jamaica ginger.
GAINED FAME AND WEALTH,
Telephone Made by Atexnnder Ora
haul Itell a World Ilenefuctor.
One of the greatest benefactors
among the Inventors of the present age
Is Dr. Alexander Graham Dell, whose
brilliant tnlud con
ceived nnd made
practical the prin
ciple of the tele
phone. Tho story
of his marvelous
discovery, w h I c h
has revolutionized
commercial meth
ods aud converted
map's domain into
ouo vast neighbor
hood, reads like
a page of romance.
ALKX. 0. IlELU
Dr. Hell wns uu Instructor of the deaf
lu HoKlon, where lie fel lu loyo with
Miss Hubbard, one of Ills pupils.
While searching for some Invention
that would help the deaf and particu
larly Miss Hubbard, who afterwards
been mo his wife, ho falily stumbled
utou the speaking telephone, which,
when pluceil In practical use, Iiiih
proved to be one of the most valunlilo
produqU of Inventive genius tho world
bus ever known.
, Dr. Hell Is u native of Edinburgh,
Scotland, and la now lu his Ufty-sUth
year. He received his education at tho
Edinburgh high school nnd Edinburgh
University and was given special train:
lug iu the system for removing Impedi
ments In speech originated by his fath
er, Alexander Melville Hell. He re
moved to London, In 1807, and entered
the university there, but his health be
gan to fall him and In 1870. accompan
ied by his futher, he went to Canada.
In 1872 he beciuno a resident of the Uni
ted States, Introducing with success hU
father's system of deaf uiuto Instruc
tion, and became professor of vocal
physiology In Boston University. The
first public exhibition of his telephone
invention was made at the centennial
exposition lu Philadelphia lu 1870, and
'its complete success won him Immedi
ate fame and subsequently great
wealth. Ills Invention of the "photo
phoue," in which a vibratory beam of
light Is substituted for a wire in con
veylng speech, has also attracted much
attention, hut has never beon practical
ly used. Dr. Bell has recently given
voice to a theory that the present sys
tem of educating deaf mutes la wrong,
as it baa a teudeney to restrict them to
one another's society, so that marriages
between the deaf are common, and
therefore the number of deaf mute chil
dren born la on tho Increase.
