FASHION NOTES.

| Square silk handkerchiefs will be
worn around the neck this winter.
-Crocheted hoods for little children
have ruching inside and silk pompon
to ornament the top.
"A trimmed skirt of elaborate designs
with jaunty basque, is the popular modei
for silk costume.
Most of the bodices for evening
dresses lace behind, and are fastened
with very small fine lacing strings.
The newest white ties have peacocks
embroidered on the ends, the plumage
being artfully copied in fine flosses.
-Bonnets of blue and green velvet
and satin combined, decked with garnl-
lures of peacock's feathers, are worn
with tartan suits.
The fancy for plaid dresses contin-
ues, but they are always considered
neglige or fatigue costumes, or are worn
for travelling or for indoor toilets.
Notwithstanding the popularity of
velvet, skirts are no longer made of this
material. 1t is used in wide perpen-
dicular or diagonal bands of short suits,
and for vests, collars, cuffs and pocket
laps.
The newest buttons are bullet
shaped; some are in colored pearl,
others are brass, steel and crochet.
When two colors appear in dress the
round silk button is of the light shade,
nearly covered with crochet of the dark
er shade.
Gold pins and earrings in Japan
ese designs have the fans in colored
enamel; an open fan, with flying birds
painted on it, needs to be examined
with glass in order to appreciate the
delicate workmanship.
French gold and silver necklaces
have several rows of small coin-shaped
pieces, with highly polished surfaces.
The earrings to match have two strings
of coins which look as if they were
passed through the ear and hung down
in long pendants.
New lace pins, in fine gold ARE in the
form of oars, brooms, trumpets, whip
handles with the lash twisted around
them, pens, keys, rolls of music, sec
tions of fence, with the bars half
down, ladders, on whose rungs flies,
beetles, or toads are perched, and 9TH
ers of strange devices.
Amber is very fashionable. Amber
balls are used as earrings, or several
cut amber beads are strung together to
form pendant earrings. Cut-glass
beads in amber color are used to form
net work to trim white evening
bonnets, for ornaments in the shape OF
butterflies or flowers to be used with
pheasant breasts on white bonnets.
Keys and snakes are just now the
favorite designs for jewelry; it would
! be rather hard to tell why. A fan chate-

into the German lakes and rivers-on1y
about %, 900 salmon ova out of the large
number imported being saved-has
made another attempt this year, which
has been crowned with unexpected sue
cess. The German Fishing Gazette an
nounces the arrival at Bremen, on Oc-
tober "a, of Mr. Fred Mather, with $780,
600 California salmon ova, all in ex-
cellent condition, the new method of
transport in melting ice having proved
satisfactory in every respect. The
greater portion, Immediately upon their
arrival, was handed over to Director
Haak of the imperial fish-hatching es-
tablishment at Huningen, for distribu-
ton among the artificial fish culture es-
Establishments of Huningen, Freiburg
in Breisgar, Tharand, Rendsburg,
Lubbenchen and Berneuchen. Of the
1000 ova sent from America, 120, 200
were landed at Southampton-100,0 900
for the French Government and 10000
for the English fish-hatchirg establish
ments. OF the remainder, 100, 900 were
for the Institute of Natural History of
Amsterdam, and 250,00 for the Vari-
GUS German fish-hatching establish
msnts. The young salmon, after being
Matched, will be distributed as follows !:
O,OOO for the Oder; $4,000 for the
Weser; $4,000 for the Rhine, and SO,-
600 for the Danube districts. The re-
naming $4,000 are to be left at the dis
posal of the artificial fish-hatching es-
Establishments of Freiburg and Huningen
for the purpose of more accurately as
certaining the suitability and qualiica-
, tions of the California salmon as lake
and fresh-water fish for Germany.
The few thousands which in the pre-
, vious year had been saved and Matched
in these two establishments have proved
, that the California salmon, in regard to
its vivacity, rapid growth and its vitali-
ty, far surpasses all the native salmon
species. The surprising quick develop
ment-the now hardly twelve-months-
old salmon, saved from last years fail
/ ure, having already reached length OF
t from five to eight inches-has been one
of the principal reasons for inducing the
president of the German Fishing Asso.
: citation to make second attempt to in
, troduce the California salmon into Ger.
/. many. The largest number in proper.
E ton to the young salmon to be distribut
: ed into the German rivers has been al.
1 lotted to. the Danube district, as the
temperature of the waters of the Ger
< man rivers discharging themselves into
the Danube and the Black Sea are CON
b sidered warm enough to enable the inn
l.. ported California salmon to find there
$ suitable food and accommodation.
