PICTURESQUE ISLAND. Uninhabited by Man. It In GIren Over to Crane*. At Lake Minnetor.ka. Minn., there is a picturesque island which takes its name from the fact that it is uninhabited by mar. and given over to the cranes. General ions back these birds decided upon this spot for a summer resort. As time went on and the surrounding islands populated, no man i bad the heart to disturb them, until j now Crane island is pointed out from t massing boats as cne 01 the curiosities \ of the northwest. It is estimated that I fully 3.000 ?rr.ncs maite :h<ir horn - on ! this small, isolated strip of land in th.> .summer, and thcv can be seen wading , out in the water, ducking their Ions ! necks, and hoard emitting a peculiar j squawk. as if to warn off intruders. ] (inite as curious as the bird is its nest, which is made o.' nicks as large as one's thumb, is th-> size of a bushel basket, and usually perched on the j limb of some stout tr. e. In the many i years that have parsed sine? this section was first settled by civilized man onlv one or two attempts have been ' j made to land on the island, and th s? > have resulted disac::ouCy. On on? o\>casion a strangci . xp'orer managed to get on the island, thoitgh he was attacked on all sides by the angry f cranes. He hastily bear a retreat, but not until he had been deprived of the sight of one eye. The ferocious birds j guard their property so jealously that, although summer homes have b?3ii erected on the adjacent islands. Crane j Island will probably go down to posterity as one spot in this wide country sacred to the crane and given to his progeny forever. i Look Carefully j To Your Kidneys !

Tin* favoritism shown for the so- | called outing hat is a conspicuous j sign of the manifoM requirements of a woman's summer out lit at the pros(in day. A few years ago such an article was almost wholly unnecessary with many women, lou now that golf, tennis, yachting and hicyele riding an- indulged in so freely nor only one, hut several of these hats prove extremely useful and stylish. Never before was the outing hat so truly bewitching as it is now. With this, as with the gowns of the season, white is the preferred color both in hat and trimming, although it is frequently torched off with some pretty tint. As for shapes the sailor again holds a prominent place, many of the more fanciful hats being hardly more than modifications of the sailor. Just now hats made of different varieties of grass in natural tints are much in rennest, as are also the English split j s;raw and Panama braids. An extremely handsome model sailor hat of white English split straw braid has the edge of tiie brim hound with white galloon and the erown encircled by a band of black velvet ribbon, terminal inp in a flat how at the left side. A heavy plume of while ooq feathers, decked with black, is confined on the left side of the brim by a rhinestone buckle, and sweeps around'the brim in front to within a few inches of the back. Another extremely simple but unusually picturesque liar to be worn on iho beach is on 1 lie sailor order, bavin? a medium tall crown and wide, soft brim, slightly dipped in the front. The only trimming is an inch and a half hand of black velvet ribbon tied in a bow directly in the hack. The ' how has long loops falling below the brim of the hat. while the ends hang down slightly below the loops to the wearer's shoulders. This trimming may be modified by making the j loops short and the long ends alone to ! fall over the brim. Tg Draperies, quills, wings and fruit vie with one another as decoration for sjr.ie of the really elaborate shore and couinjw hoS. A dainty fancy in triiimiiuifoac of the heavy now grass braids, of cent tint, is to twist about the low erotvn a full drapery of white satin mervilleux*. polka dotted n black, and over this to drape a plume of white tetras feathers, carrying it from the left to the right side. The shirt waist hat. with its flat, broad crown, extending out oven as far as the edge of the brim, and its 1 rimming of full satin or mull, between crown and brim, remind one forcibly of a great piece of layer cake with rich creamy filling. Ca some women, however, this is jaunty and becoming. The odd device of thrusting the quill tlirouprn tne nrim is unoiuer iraiuic of the styles of this summer. and there is absolutely no limit to the fantastic ancles which the quills ^ are thus made to assume. The white canvas hat with its deccration of white mull and white ooq feathers', is of extremely lie!;* we'eht. and therefore attractive for bicycling, tennis or olher rctivo sports, while the short brimmed sailor, with simple band trimming. is always in taste on ihe water. Walking and mountain hats. too. are worn in the style which has the crown indented 0:1 top and sides. These are pretty and appropriate when made in white and orna- , mented with the fashionable coq feathers.?New York Tribune. Ideal Summer Frock. A woman who is an authority says that the ideal simple summer frock is of white serge, a coat and skirt, with a white lawn shirt waist with tucking. ill prefereuee to applied trimming; a black and white foulard tie. and a panacia hat with black ribbons. Evening gowns for young married women are cut very low back and front and deficiencies are supplied with a drapery of tuilc. Pretty ties have deep-pleated ends of color, say, pale blue and whit''. The lies are of good material and well ; made, and are consequently worth I while. j Attractive white tics are finished j on the ends with sprigs o: eiubroidrry of single flowers, daisies, or for- j gei-me-nots, or roses. The ties are of line lawn. The fashion for dressing the hair low on the nape of the neck is growing in fauie and the front hair slightly waved is parted either in the centre or a little to one side. Among the new materials which are coining in the market is something called burlap in a light gray. It resembles canvas, and to have any style must be tailor made. The very latest corset is a compromise between the old model and the later one with the exaggerated straight front. The straight line is not eonlined to the I'rout entirely, but is distributed all .'round. making the curve at the back more natural. conspicuous in millinery i:c:;t autumn, and birds'pluiiin.ee of all sorts, dyed in all sorts of colors, is being made up into breasts, wines and birds, as real as the genuine songsters for winter hat ornaments. Sea gulls and pigeons are very much used now in Iims for seaside wear, theforincr dyed iu lilies never seen in the gull famiiy before. One of the special advantages of the present fashion for tliin materials is found in its effect on summer mourning. which is more pleasing to Ionic upon and more agreeable to wear than ever before. With the nets, chiffons, veilings. China silks, and crepes do chine in black, there gs no need to burden one's self with heavy fabrics. Mourning taffetas and muslins are also very much worn. Long loose driving coats of whitj liuen of the silky quality are one of the swagger things of fashion. They are made simply with a piping of colored linen, or more elegantly finished with a deep cellar of lace over which a narrow collar of black velvet turns down about the neck. The sleeves are full bishops with wrist bauds of 'velvet and lace, and sometimes there are little revets of tucked white silk edged with black velvet. DAMAGE GY TERMITES. Injury Done to Houses in Hawaii by the Insects. Look out for termites! The u:cn who have been working on ihe alterations in Hie judiciary building have found some of the woodwork almost eaten away by them, and there are whole residences in the city that will have to be actually torn down, 011 account of the injuries done by the insects. Termites, according to the Standard Dictionary, are "a family of pseudo-neuropterous insects with a depressed ovate body, free head, equal membranaceous deciduous wings and four-jointed tarsi, including white ants.M An insect with a definition like that ouglit to be able to do a good i^enl of damage, and the termites are doifig it. Houses in Honolulu that are twenty-five or thirty years old are found to be in need of new woodwork in many places, and at least one large residence is about to be torn down because the pestiferous insects have mined it by boring and hollowing out the wood. Professor Kooble and Mr. Ferkins, of the local bugology bureau, have studied the termites, and say that there is no known preventive of their work. The bugs here are of two kind?, both imported and both thriving better in the climate of Hawaii than they did in California, which was the original -home of the varieties here. . When any woodwork is once well infested with the termites there is nothing to do but destroy It, say the experts. The insects do their destructive work unseen. They never work to the surface of the wood, but hollow it cm until it is only a shell thin as paper. They tackle furniture and all wooden parts of buildings. Cases have been known in which the termites, in countries where they prosper even more than in Hawaii, have literally eaten away buildings. In a single night they have been known to reduce pieces of furniture to collapse. "They are not so bad hire.'' said Mr. Perkins. "Why. in some places there have been cases where a chair left over night collapsed in a heap when used iu the morning, all the inside of the wood having been hornl out." The work of the little insects may he seen in some of the banisters of the Judiciary Building and other eld structures. Dry, hard wood, such as that used for furniture, seems to be specially attractive to the termites. The insects are quite numerous in California, but are not so destructive, the climate being loss agreeable to tlmi-n?ITnrmliilii Still* An Old Luntl Grant. .7. It.
