Hair Cut or Arrest.,
The large corW-df newspaper"' corre
spondent s'whtefi" werrt "down to thP 'VX'fst
Indies after the volcano disasters brought
back anv number of lnteretting stories of
th'r advetiturcir.Bt St. Vincent and Mar-l
Unique. The2 Dest of thef-e, perhaps, Is
one , concerning two well known corre
spondents who started to"" explore the
Ktretts of St- Vincent town. -One of them
went Into'a hat shop and'the other wolt-i
ed outside for his companion to emerge.
Wh'tt; basking in the '.hot ati)iHght a great
six-foot West Indian negro came up to
hVin and inqtiired if heR-as from tha
Cnited States ship Dixie. -.The corre
spondent replied In the affirmative,
whereupon the negro Informed him that
he represented, the St. Viiieent bmir of,
health aad that theJtco,rresppn4nt'must'
have his hair cut immediately or return
to his ship. ' The newspaper man smiled
scornfully. The negro did hot, but firmly .
told him that he must take him back to
tlw-ahip (f he refused to lose hlabaek
looks... And the negro lookad as .if, .he,
could do It. At this juncture the corre
spondent's friend came out of the hat'1
tore and joined them. The big negro pre-'
eented the same ultimatum to the new!
comer, and finally both correspondents
were escorted down ..i street by the al

FOR PROTECTING CARPETS.
' Fh 1 new. linens ' intended for covering
carpets during the summer are very- at
trsetlve.. The designs are pretty floral
ones, and floor and stair coverings are
made to match.
' t FOR BRASSES.
To keep brass, steel and nickel free
from rust "when not In use rub over" with
a paste' made of llrne and . water. . To
rub over with kerosene, will " be found
equally efficacious. .
FOULARD STILL POPULAR.
Foulard Is likely, only to tie second best
to taffetas this season. ' Foulard is not
new but It has many good points, and for
morning wear In warm weather nothing
surpasses It. The softness of foulard
renders it . very adaptable for the plisse
sllrt.
'THE DRESSY STOCKS.
Nearly all the stocks for dressy wear
Are transparent. Plain cbllars of pique
ending' In narrow tlea, these to be fast
ened IB front with a tie pin,' are numer
ous. Soft materials that need no starch
are far and ahead of the one-time popu
lar stiff collar.
TO PROTECT SILK.
Silk should never be folded away for
any length of time in white paper, since
the chloride of lime used bleaching the
paper produces a chemical change in the
silk and impairs the color, A way to
prevent silk or woolen turning yellow Iff
to place pieces of beeswax In with the
fabrics when putting them away.
HINTS "FOR MASSAGING.
Don't rub the lines the wrong way, or
they will become more, instead of less,
prominent: rub across the wrinkles with
a retary-motlon.
Don't loosen the skin from the underly
ing tissues or stretch It.
Don't forget that pressure should be In
ward. LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT.
- Veils must be neatly hemmefl. Other
wise buy made veils.
Seams In sheer goods must be doubly
stitched.
Rough, frayed aeama that show through
are as unsightly as taggy skirt hem.
While gloves that are no' longer white
are an abomination.
The Irregularly shuped pearls Jn vary
ing tints of white, pink and 4Tivender
make very effective bracelets caught to-

hiaceiets set with opals sre also good

TO, BRIGHTEN A Rl'G
The colors in a riia carpet; can- be
brightened iy sweeping it wih a hroom

well, since It needs only to be dampened,
But though' salt water Is a good thing,
never let anv one nersuade you to
sprinkle, salt qn, a carpet before sweeping.
It'lodges' Itt thef fiber of the carpet, and
after the salt haa heen used times enough
some fine, morning Jin ;, the humid days of
summer a crop of grease spots win seem
to confront you.

40 mllef rom the Town of Imperial and
21 miles south Of Mexico. It lies within
the Cocopaft country at the base of the
mountains, even below the foothills, buj
It has not been there very long. It is

.Within the boundajtles of the new. Jake
there has been! for several years what the
Indians believed to be ft volcano. Smoke
was almost constantly rising from the
ground,, but there had been no other sign
of .an, eruption. The water of the lake
now .cover the, volcano to a depth of
from five to 10 feet. Ever since the water
has been .there there has been trouble
and U, Is getting worse every day. The
Indians have moved from that neighbor
hood and the whites in the settlement 20
tnllea sort h are .thinking of moving.
The lake i about 14 miles long,, but not
of very great depth.
At -first the -disturbance was confined
to the volcano, but now the water is
boiling, over a considerable part of Rb
area and explosions , are growing more
and more frequent. ieople living In the
neighborhood of Texico are often awak
pnod by them In the night time. Erup
tions are going on all the time, bin they
are generally of sufficient force only to
tnrow up tne water to the height of only

can be heard at any great distance. But
occasionally the eruption breaks through
the water and shoots mud Into the air
at a hlght of 40 feet. Whenever this hap
pens the noise can be heard and a flame
can be seen for miles. It was such
demonstrations as these that frightened
the Indiana away. There are boats on
the lake and parties have started out tc
the volcano, but they have always turned
back without completing the lnvestiga-

Years ago, when I was In the fruit

on the apple and peach crop, I mean
by that that I would buy the yield of
an orchard after counting 11 1 1 the triiau

met wttn a loss of any account. My near

wheaW made an Incognito visit t&; the
: Fractlally no one, except his own min
isters, knew anything of his .Intentions,
and It was not until long afterward that
the matter got Into the papers.- But, cley
er as Kaiser WUhelm is, he did not de
ceive the French police, and on the day
after his arrival in Paris he was waited
on by M. Leplne, th ea,f the eneh
detective service. . Tha latter represented
to His Majesty that i was. absolutely es
sential that he should .be protected. An
attack upon him mlffht result Jn war be

The .Kaiser vowed that, he would enjoy
the sights-In his own wayV and not be
personally conducted. Eventually, a. com
promise was effected, Three trusted func
tionaries were to be permitted to shadow
His Majesty during his visit. It was well
they did so. During the three days he was
recognified by three Germans, two French
men, and one Russian all of whom were
quietly arrested fthd detained, to prevent
their talking.
The Kaiser left as quietly aer" he had
come. Not even the French President
was aware' until some time later of the
fact .that Paris had been entertaining an
Emperor unawares.
Jt Is not often that the Czar has a
chance of laying aside state and cere
mony, but even he does so occasionally. ,
One morning three summers ago he got
up early and, Jn the simple uniform of a
colonel, cycled across tlie park at ' fjiit
schlna to the lodge of 'the keeper of the
fishponds, where His Majesty- 6f Russia
often enjoys a quiet hour's' sport. Some
thing went wrong with,, his machine on
the way, and he' jumped ' off ''to readjust
It. At that moment thSre passed a
pompouw old general 'from some, distant
part of the ' Empire.' The "Czar did not
notice him, whereupon the general strode
tip and Inquired wy his Inferior officer
did not salute him. "I must really apol
ogize," said the TCzan. "Owing to the
shortness of my reign, I have not yetl had
the honor of making your acquaintance."
