Spring Hats.

1t Is remarkable fact concerning spring
hats that amongst such an immense varie.
ty there are no positively ugly ones. A
novel style, especially adapted for prom
enade wear, is known as the Riverdale,"
and is made of fine English straw. The
prominent features of this hat are its low,
round crown, and the uniformly flaring
brim, and these both render it possible to
wear the hat on the back OF the head or
low over the face. A hat of this shape
has band of serge ribbon carried in a
loose roll around the crown and fastened
in front with large square bow. From
it two short plumes are brought directly
back over the crown. The face trimming
consists of lace laid in irregular pleats. A
cluster OF flowers, roses, leaves, and small
white blossoms, is placed under the brim
at the left of the back, SO as to droop
gracefully over the hair. When this hat
is worn over the face, an inside brim trim
ming in front is omitted. Some of the
prettiest hats seen bear a strong resem-
blance to the cottage bonnet formerly so
popular: An imported hat of this style
has brim of white chip, while the crown
is formed OF two crosswise pufis of cream
colored silk, separated by q pleating of
cashmere lace. The last puff is extended
SO as to form q sort Of cape, while a steel
and pearl ornament divides the puff from
the ends. A wreath of field flowers sur
rounds the crown, and is thickest in front.
The newest ribbons are snowy and hand.
some, and show many varieties. Frosted
silk and ribbon are beautiful and most ef-
fective for dress hats, while for ordinary
wear serge ribbons are very handsome
and serviceable.-N. 2. Cor. Chicago

A New Use for LOcusts.

An industry of quite a novel character,
says Consul Playfair, in his report on the
trade and commerce Of Algeria for the
past year, promises to spring up in that
country. Immense sums of money are
annually spent by the fishermen OF France
in obtaining codroe as bait for the sardine
fisheries. Not only is that substance in
creasing in price every year, but the guam
the demand. 1t is proposed to utilize the
ony in immense numbers, and are nearly
stitute. The Governor General has sent
1000 kilos of these insects, prepared and
salted, to France, and this result, it is
stated, is sufficiently successful to warrant
the experiment being tried on larger
scale. This scheme, although at first
sight it may appear disagreeable to the
Algerian locusts, can hardly, on reflection
fail to commend itself to their reason.
The locust has of late entirely lost
the respectable position it once occu-
pied of being fit for food. Locusts
and wild honey are never seen now
on any breakfast table, and, as the
.ocust requires vast amount of susie.
nance for its own consumption, it is
looked upon as an intolerable nuisance in
those countries it honors by it's visits. If,
however, 1.-THE sardines take 10 the locusts
as bats, these insects will at least he en-.
tiled TO the credit of being instrumental
in providing food fer the human race, and
may possibly, at no distant date, resume
their place ON the table.-l'dU NaU GG-

Not q Bargain After ALI.

Yesterday morning the female head of
family living On Henry street called at "a
Woodward avenue grocery and asked for
prunes. Some prunes were exhibited, and
she inquired:
Do you warrant them?"
eve do" was the reply.
Perfectly fresh, are they?'
Indeed they are"
"No worms in them?''
"Not worm"
"Full weight, are they?''
Full weight, madam"
Sweet, are they?"
warrant them sweet"
No pits in them?'
"Not pit, madam"
"And prize package with every
pound?" she asked, after pause
eyes, madam"
"And chrome, too ?" she hesitatingly
inquired.
" Yes, and chrome, tool"
She nibbled at prune, knit her brows,
and finally asked:
Don't you give cash premium with
every pound you sell ?"
We do, madam. You paw ten cents
for pound of prunes and get chrome,
a prize package, and cash premium of
fifty cents. Shall do you up pound ~
p" Well, it seems as if you wanted to be
fair with your customers, ;" she slowly re-
piled, "but guess l won't take any.
Seems to me ten cents per pound is rather
too much for prunes these times, when
butter is down, and calico is down, and
shoes are awful cheap" -Detroit Free

A Mind Old Lazy.

There is kind hearted old woman who
lives in Louisville, and she passes her
time in the streets on the lookout for la.
dies whose skirts are coming down.
Sometimes her anxiety leads her astray,
and she secs in imagination skirts falling
which are perfectly secure. But she
sweetly says all the same, My dear, your
skirt is falling; if you will step into this
doorway will pin it up for YOU" La
dies In general object to falling skirts in
the streets; the very thought is terror,
and, when SO approached, are very apt to
60 into the doorway without looking as
to the truth. When there the kind old
woman tells pretty story of her nice
home, gives suggestion that she is we'll
of in this worlds goods, and that she
wanted to fix the skirts because the lady's
beautiful face reminded her of her own
daughter. During the fixing process the
dress Is necessarily handled, and though
the work is awkward, it would not Of
course do to offer money to the nice, we'll
attired kind-hearted old lady, who talks SO
glibly Of her property. 80 the other lady
leaves with gratitude, which is changed to 4
somewhat different feeling when she finds
her pocket has been cut, and the old lady
has gone away with her purse.

A Husbands Ungallant Remark.

A Remarkable Heather City.

One of the most remarkable places in
the world is the city of Jeyp0or in India.
1t is heather city, the home of the Hin.
docs, the product of HindOo skill and the
design of q Hindoo mind, and yet in
architecture, finish, beauty, and useful
public works, it is probably not out
ranked by any in ChristendOm.
Three or four hundred years ago Jey
Singla lived in little village of mud cot
tages on the heights near the present site
of Jeypoor. He was man of enlighten-
ment and reason, and being Rajah, had
the choice either of accomplishing much
good in his kingdom or giving himself
over to Incidence and selfish qualification.
He chose to exercise his functions on the
side of human advancement, and from his
own intellect evolved plan to wipe
away the mud constructed town of his
habitation with its filth and squalor, and
erect new and glorious city. Decend-
ing into a barren valley, lie laid plans for
the coming capital of Hindostan. In
place of the narrow streets of the old town,
he marked off main thoroughfares, III
feet wide and two miles long and in place
Of the winding alleys Of the town on the
mountain, he laid out spacious streets.

about the whole, tlanked by towers and
protected by forts. A palace, with scores
Of elegantly designed houses, was con.
structed, with many humber but equally
tasty dwellings,, Each house possessed its
own garden, and every building, great or
small, was made Of stone. Lakes, mar
ble-laid walks, fountains and public orna-
ments dotted the new city, and not an I'm.
slightly work was pc rmitted inside the
walls.
This was indeed a wonderful city, to
grow up and become inhabited in the val
leys of Hindostan at that period of Indian
history, but just as wonderful has been
the fact that from that day to this the I'M
dertaking has proven success. An
English writer speaks enthusiastically OF
the marvellous beauty of Jeypoor, the
capital of the Maharajah." He calls it
the Paris of India" and city "venti-
lated, seweraged and constructed in a
manner superior to any which may be net
with on the GLOBE"
The history of Jeypoor is being devel-
bped and given to Christendom just at the
present time, along with much other inter-
esting information, as one of the first re-
suits of the great archaeological survey of
India, now in progress under the auspices

The Great Wind.Storm In Chicago.

The Chicago morning papers of the It'll
and 9Th give lengthy accounts of the ef-
fects of the tornado on the 9Th, from
which we make the following extracts:
So far as has been ascertained, the tenn
pest struck down upon the city in the vi
cinity of the Bridewell, where it wrought
sad havoc with the fences. Seeming to
gather strength as it rushed on, it came
with terrible force upon the habitations
in the neighborhood of Paulina and
Twenty-second streets, where, among
other objects, it tore in pieces a three
story tenement house, killing some of the
inmates. From this point its path for
miles eastward is clearly marked with the
ruin that it wrought. The region over
which it passed, from Paulina street to
the river, is known as the lumber dis
trict. Here, for q distance of over two
miles along the South Branch, millions
upon millions of feet of lumber are piled,
and here the tempest ragged in its widest
fury. Huge piles of lumber were over
turned, while the air was filled with great
boards and punches of lath and shingles,
and what was in one yard was most un.
tremendously deposited In another, and
not little difficulty will be experienced
by the rightful owners in obtaining their
own again. Then it dashed, raging and
roaring, across the river until it reached
the lake, and here it turned, and with in.
creased fury rushed northward, covering
nearly the entire South Division. Reach
ing Eighteenth street, it struck the Coun.
ty Hospital and tore off portion of the
roof.
At Fourteenth street it came with saw.

Evil Effects Of Over Training.

One of the reasons assigned for the de-
feat of the Oxford crew in the boatrace ia
that they were overturned" Whether
this was the case or not, there can hardly
be doubt that the science of " training"
like many other sciences, is yet in its
infancy, and that the course of training
followed as rule by those who are pre-.
pairing for the performance of athletic
teats, even if etfectual for the purpose for
which 1t Is adopted, is not conducive in
the long run 10 good health or longevity.
Indeed, 1t will be found that many, If not
the majority, of those who attain unusual
length of years almost invariably indulge
in one or more habits pronounced by
medical experts to be decidedly unwhole-
some. 1t is a notorious fact that Oc.Oge-
narians, and even "reputed centenarians,"
are often invctcrate smokers, and must,
according to accepted medical theory, be
thoroughly saturated with nicotine by the
time they are laid in their graves. Some
even habitual topers live to very old
age, and others who take no exercise
worthy of the name enjoy perfect health
and last many years longer than their
more active contemporaries. One of the
most remarkable instances on record of
admirable health and longevity, notwith-
standing departure from those rules Of
temperance and exercise which are sup
posed to exercise such an important in
tlutnce on health, is that of the Rev.
William Davies, rector of Staunton- upon
Wye and vicar Of All Saints, Hereford,
who died in 1890, aged one hundred and
five. This reverend old gentleman during
the last thirty-tive years of his life never
took any other exercise than that of
shutting his feet from one room to an.
other, where he would sittill bedtime He
always eat hot buttered rolls for breakfast,
an enormous dinner, consisting of a
variety of dishes, and a supper of hot

was jovial to the last, and he passed away
with chuckle, without apparent suffer.
