BELFORT, France, Aug. 10.—For the
first time since the Franco-Prussian
War, a French military band has re-
ceived permission from the German Gov-
ernment to participate in a musical fes-
tival in Alsace.
The members of the band marched
with the tricolors flying in the breeze,
and were everywhere enthusiastically re-

The ideal veranda combines the com- J j
fort of a house with the outdoor free-
dom of a garden. It is also a place of
refuge from the disagreeable features of
either—from the confinement of four
walls, and from the hot sen, says Vogue.
During the summer months it is as nec-
essary as any room in the house, and its
location, surroundings and furnishings
should be carefully considered by every
home builder.
It goes without saying that the best
location is one that insures privacy and
as American houses am usually exposed
to view from the street, a front veranda,
is usually undesirable. A side location is
much better; not only is the poreh
scrcenefl from the passerby, but it is
protected from the invasion of agents,
and of any and every acquaintance. For-
mal calls may be received in the house,
while intimate friends arc entertained
on the veranda, if a separate front en-
trance be provided, and in this way,
many tiresome interruptions are avoided.
Architecturally also, the effect is apt
to be inoro pleasing, in a house of
Colonial style, for < xample. the quaiill-
ness of the front door with its side
lights and fan window is often complete-
ly hidden by an over-topping poreh.
lf #h« re is any view of sea, mountains
or river from a house, it is now a matter
course that it should be the special
property of the veranda We have a
livelier interest in the beauty of the land-
scape ti.an many of our ancestors pos-
sessed. the old New England farmhouse.
" ith but for an intervening cluster, com-
mands a magnificent view, is now a
laughing stock for every intelligent
passerby. If there is an interesting view
~/o. appropriate it with ; vidity, and we
ven s o rifice noble trees in order to
open up some charming vista, but if
there be no "scene" to be had from the
veranda or even If the outlook is dis-
tinctly unattractive, we are apt to give
up in despair, when in reality there is
no reason for discouragement.
The Garden as a Picture.
In these days of renewed interest In
garden craft and multudinous books on
the subject, a little study of landscape
gardening may result in a complete
transformation of the veranda surround-
ings. Quick growing vines may conceal
undesirable buildings or screen the ve-
randa from neighbors; trees may be
grouped to obtain an agreeable effect,
and flowers used to give mass. s of
agreeable color. The garden yhmild. if
possible, lie close to the veranda and in
this case may be considered as a picture
framed by the veranda pillars, and its
composition should be carefully studied

furniture are gained from the appear-
a nee of the veranda.
There tan be found, however, certain
shapes in wicker that are both good in
design and also comfortable, which the
ugly models rarely are. Some German
ami Kngllsh designs are appearing in
this country in pirated form, and there
aie also a few dignified and structural
American designs, showing that simplie-
11v and good taste can be attained in
this kind of furniture. In these models
the bulbous foot and tortuous braids and
curls of the usual styles are replaced by
a foot tipped at the base with metal and
bv a less complicated system of weaving.
That old favorite of illustrators, the
hour glass or Fayal chair, is always
comfortable and appropriate. High back
colonial chairs with splint seats arc suit-
able for the veranda, and the old Wind-
sor arm chair or its reproduction, is per-
haps the most comfortable of all.
A common delusion is that green, is an
appropriate color for veranda furnitur^.
As a matter of fact, a bright green in
connection with the green of grass or
trees, is apt to become very unpleasant
and jarring in tone, while a softer green
in the furniture assumes a sickly hue
when seen with the landscape. Brown

from the veranda view point. Even in a
small space an agreeable composition
with an effect of distance and mystery
may be obtained by careful arrangement
ami placing and three or four years will
often suffice to produce an entirely n< w
setting.
Everything needful in the way of fur-
nishings but nothing superfluous should
be found on the* veranda, and the tastes
of its occupants ought to be arcfully
studied. In addition to it.; use as a sum-
mer living room, the veranda is often
utilized as a breakfast loom, and this
meal served in the open air in the midst
of flowers and sunshine, makes an
agreeable change in the routine of the
-tiav.
The so called Mission style of furni-
t ui1 Is perhaps wore appropriate than
any other for an outdoor breakfast room.
Its simple dignified lines and soft tones
harmonize well with natural surround-
ings. Care, however, should be taken
riot to select the cheaper varieties which
have hem merely stained, and not first
subjected to the fuming process, as a
stain wears off very quickly, showing
the light color of the wood. An exten-
sion table is not necessary. Small addi-
tional tables can bo used if there is lack
of room for guests, and a round break-
fast table will serve every purpose. A
tea wagon is a useful adjunct. One made
of wick* i may be used and is helpful in
serving breakfast as well as the v-jranda
afternoon tea.
Porch Furniture of Wicker.
For the porch furniture, wicker is a
good material as it is light and summery
in appearance. One difficulty experienced
in choosing this furniture is th» ugliness
of many of the styles shown in the shops.
It se'*ms probable that more attrocities
are penetrated in reed and wicker than
in any other medium. These monstrosi-
ties are often bought by people who
i think that they will "do" for the var-
arida. forgetting that the first and often
a lasting impression of their taste in
of light or dark tone is safer, for varanda
furniture. There is a wide range of
brown tones in the oak furniture, and
the wicker can be procured in the white
withoir nn> finish whatever, and can
easily be stained a soft brown that will
harmonize with any surroundings.
Oak Furniture in Brown.
in the veranda arrangement shown, the
oak furniture is a warm nut brown. The
pillars and roof of the veranda are a
somewhat lighter tone of the sum-* brown
and are sained, not painted. The parapet
and flower box' s are of cement, sand
finished and creamy white in tone. The
floor is of rough yellow tiles. The rugs
art ei rag In soft tan, grayish white, and
gray-blue. Th< pillows 'and cushions are
covered with Russian .crash, and are re-
movable, so that in case of rain, they
• aa be »arried indoors, or may be aired
in the sunshine. The veranda may be
< nelosed with Japanese bamboo curtains.
The wicker furniture is of American de-
sign and manufacture, but simple and
agreeable, in outline, and with its cush-
ioned scats, extremely comfortable. A
long seat or bench placed a trains' the
wall would be use-tnl <n this porch, if well
provided with pillows, or a swing seat
or hammock could l>e substituted. The
flown- boxes give an opportunity for a
brilliant massing of color, and the
flowers should be selected with due re-
gard to their coloring
A fireplace on a v randn seems sin
anomaly, vet on a rainy day or cool
evening, it makes a delightful addition
to the surroundings, and a retreat to .the
house is rendered unnecessary. A veranda
such as tills could be inclosed in glass in
the autumn and used as a sun jjarlor.
While the larg"» veranda is capable of
receiving a more interesting treatment
than is the small porch, still much may
be done with a small space. Kven un old
fashioned town "stoop" may become an
oasis in a dusty street by the help of
trees in pots, and flowers in window
boxes.
ANDALl SI A, Pa., Aug. 10.—There are
few "model" farms" mote successful
and certainly few more beautiful, than
the big estate of about .'100 acres ex-
tending back of the Red Iron Inn here,
says the correspondent for the Phila-
delphia Record. It is typical of the im-
mense country seats of men of large in-
terests, who make a hobby of raising
thoroughbred stock, and of bringing
every acre of land up to the highest
degree of fertility. The mansions found
or such estates bear very little resem-
Uvfice to the rambling low-lying coun-
try farm homes of the past. The tennis
courts and golf grounds almost invari-
ably found on such estates, the spac-
ious porches furnished for outdoor liv-
ir g, the splendid flower gardens, tho
"crows' nests" up in the big trees, the
lawn seats and garden shelters, all speak
of ease and comfort and a thorough en-
joyment of outdoor allurements unknown
in the old regime of farm life. And yet
this story of ease, comfort and appre-
ciation of the country is now found cm
innumerable "model farms" in the east-
« i n section of the State, surrounding
large cities, where the owners of such
ideal homes find extensive outside inter-

A Place Worth Remembering.
The beautiful Morrell estate was origi
nally known as Beech wood, when It was
the residence of Simon Wilmer Cannell.
''he mansion was built somewhat over
alvtv vears ago. in the early o0s. Ati r
Mr CaniieU's death, about lSil, the pi op-
< rtv became lamous as tlio "TliiC'gins
Do an mansion." He occupied It for fcx-
e-ai years, and it then camp into posses-
sion of ColMiiel Morrell. who purchased
the place frcm Mrs. ( anncll. Another
early owner of the mansion was John
Wilmer, brother of Bishop Wilmei of
' when it was finally purchased '»y Col-
onel Mir'vll the tract contained abwuc
in acres He added several tracts ad-
ilontng. making about :!00 acres. He also
enlarged and improved the house alii
rebuilt ttie stables. Colonel Morrell's
tr-i.-t a great part of the Ben-
field plan' it.on of the Duffields. ft has
teen though' that this name came from
the first syllable of Benjamin Outfield s
Christian name, and the last riyllabtj
of the family name.
Colonel Morrell raises some very fine
live stock or. his tract, overseeing the
fi,-m himself. Both horses and cattle arc
raised out special attention Is given to
horses' The old hip-roofed Hart house,
near the .Morrell entrance, bears the
ancient oate of 1731. The driveway from
Red I.ion Koad to the San Jose mansion

the stately roomi are of spacious di-
mensions. Hut during the summer
months the most delightful living room
imaginaole is not found within clie man-
sion, but out 011 the splendid front, porch.
!♦ requires seven large awnings (each
one of the size sufficient to screen anl
shade the average front porch), to pro-
vide shelter for this long, roomy out-
door living room, on the front of the
house alone; aside from the awning-cov-
ered nooks at side porch extensions.
Hard to Pick the Front.
So handsome is the San Jose* mansion,
from both t'des, that there frequently
arises a ccntroversy among visitor? as
t.o which is the front. The awnlng-shel-
tered, sunnv exposure, which is the first
to meet the view from the curve of the
driveway from the Bristol Pike, is the
supposed front. But on the opposite
•side the mansion appears to rise to even
more splendid dimensions, because >f
the slope of the ground; the stately
stone entranceway is pillared and vine-
covered. and the broad expanse of ce-
n.fiit walks and flower beds makes this
side even more stately and imposing than
the other.
The raising of thoroughbred horses on
an extensive scale makes it necessary to
have commodious barns, and the Morrell
stables are accordingly widely famed for
their completeness. Aside from th-j vari-
ous roomy structures that are allotted
for the stock raising, there Is a pictur-
esque stone stable near the houre for
the carriage horses. This is attractively
set in a clump of trees, and partly
screened by tall hedges, and its attrac-
tive architecture is further beautified by
a luxuriant growth ol vines.
What if. known as the Elklns "Folly
Farm." out on Old York Road, ia also
characteristic of the completeness of the
"model farms" In this section of th ?
Ftate. Other colossal farming enterprises
are found >n the eastern section of Mont-
gomery County.
In many instances the farmer's c.r the
gardener's home is found in ono of the
historic homesteads found on the estate
before, it became the "folly farm" of a
big land owner. Like the historic Hart
homestead ol the Morrell estate, the fa-
mous old structure proves quite as inter-
esting to the visitor as the modern man-
sion, and the owner prizes it accordingly.

zinc mines, but soon discovered his error.
He bought up the claim of several of hi*

few weeks later yielded an output of
silver of $15,000.

HAIR. FOR. ALL
BV USING
NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE
It is now possible for everyone to have healthy
and rich looking hair, by using Newbro's Herpi-
cide. the ORIGINAL remedy that "kills the dand-
ruff germ."
The presence of the dandruff germ in the scalp causes first, dull, brittle
and lusteriess hair, with later, dandruff, Itching scalp and falling hair.
All of these disagreeable symptoms will disappear, and the hair grow as
nature intended, If the dandruff germ is destroyed and kept out of the scalp.
Don't wait for chronic baldness for It is incurable.
FOR. HOT WRATHER
On account of Its antiseptic and purifying action. Herpiclde Is an ab-
solute necessity during the summer months. Dried sebaceous matter, per-
spiration and other Impurities thrown out by the sweat glands clog up the
pores of the scalp and offer an inviting field for microbic development. Her-
picide opens the pores of the scalp and keeps It clean, «ure and wholesome.
It relieves Prickly Heat and stops itching of the scalp almost Instantly.
"I cannot speak too highly of Newbro's Herplcide, it keeps
my hair and scalp in excellent condition."
