Newest furs for the neck are Carrick
capes, instead OF boas.
Good news for brunettes: Spanish
styles are coming in this spring.
Most brides now wear white bonnets,
but colored ones will answer If desir-
ed.
White English Grape is a favorite
material for dressing bridal dresses.
Persian embroidery, in strips. is used
on some of the handsomest toilets.
Pretty new handkerchiefs are of sheer
lawn, with a ruff1e embroidered in pale
pink or blue silk.
New artificial roses are closed as buds,
and by spring open as full blown
roses while being worn.
Wedding dresses are mostly in the
princesse style, made plain, with very
little trimming.
Short dresses are slowly, but surely
gaining ground. The kilt pleated skirt
is the favorite.
The favorite skating petticoat is of
quilted red satin, sometimes founced
and again trimmed with frills of tor
chon lace.
A band of black velvet an inch wide,
with pendant ornament is one of the
favorite necklaces worn by young ladies
for evening.
A plaid silk would make a pretty
Marquise polonaise with n skirt of
solid-covered silk the shade of the
ground, or else of dark gray.
Cascade bows of narrow satin rib
bon of three colors, such as pale blue,
and moss-green with rose, are worn at
the throat.
Lace sleeves have become so popular
that lace has been manufactured ex
pressly for the purpose. 1t resembles
the Mechlin lace, and is dotted with
pearl, or clair de lune beads.
A princesse polonaise is the best de-
sign for black velvet over-dress. 1t
would also be very handsome with a
basque and long princesse train of the
velvet, and silk apron gathered in the
front breadths Of the skirt.
Use tapping folds or else merely pip
ing for your black merino dress. Make
it with kilt skirt, short over-skirt, and
cut away coat. Have a coat-tail vest
basque for your black silk. They have
demitrained skirt with pleated panels,
draped skirt with pleated panels, a
draped apron, and slight drapery be-
hind, and trim it with new mourning
fringe called grass fringe, and made Of
fattened silk dresses.

Bancroft, tho Historian.

George Bancroft is passing the Win

upon a forthcoming volume Of his
History of the United States" Oakley
Hall tells q very good story Of a dinner
party in which he attended in 1855 at
the residence Of Fernando Wood, then
Mayor of New York, at which General
Scott referred to the first volume Of
Irving's Life of Washington" Just
then in press. Irving, that modest yet
scholastic old bachelor, said that he
hoped to live to finish the work. II

THAT the pages are not to be your limit
Of life" And hope" retorted Prince
John Van Buren,, coming to Irving's
aid, that the pages Of your history.
Mr.. Bancroft, may measure yonr life. "
Bancroft laughed heartily at the sally,
and answered: "If at my age I have

Scott. Two and twenty years have
elapsed. and the historian has not yet

Whether he will live to chronicle the
campaigns Of Scott in the war of 1912
remains to be seen.

A MICHIGAN LUcRETIA BoRa1A.-The
Honeoye Fall Gazette reports that fam
lily in Rush, Monroe County, New York
State, by the name of Justis, were re-
Gently poisoned by eating o portion of
a quantity of -four, that was purchased
at auction. Five of the family suffered
violent illness. The gazette has ascer-
tanned that the woman from whom the
-four originally came had a daughter
who was married and went to Michigan
10 live several years ago, where the hus-
band died under circumstances that led
to the belief that he died OF poison.
His wife was arrested and put in Jail at
Pontiac, tried, and acquitted. She then
went to live with her father in the same
State, and he also died under suspic-
ious circumstances, and the daughter
was arrested, tried, and acquitted again.
Some time ago she wrote to her mother
In Rush that she was coming down TO
SEQ her, and that she must be prepared
to release her interest in her father S
property, or suffer the consequences.
This letter is now la existence. This
daughter came and stayed one night,
and her mother was Immediately taken
sick and died. All of which makes
quite a blood curdling tale, and one tina,
will be believed or not. just as the read
er prefers.

about 40 miles from Magellan Stats,
when early in the morning it narrowly
escaped collision with an island where
no trace of land appeared on the charts.
The vessel hove to until daylight, when
the captain proceeded with a boats crew
to the new island, which had gradually
diminished in size since the first observa-
ton. Around the conical rocky mass
the water was kissing, and although 40
smoke appeared, it was found to be too
highly heated to permit Of landing. The
sinking continued slowly, until at s
o'clock the island was completely sub.
merged, and an hour later the vessel
passed over the spot where it had disap-
peared. This volcanic island is probably
due to the same causes which have pro-
duced the recent severe earthquake on
the west coast of South America.

The Foot and The Pound.

The foot aud the pound are found in
every country. and have evidently been
derived directly from the Romans. But
they can claim far higher antiquity,
for Mr.. Chisholm traces their origin to
the Babylonians or Chald@ns, who, as
units of length, used both the cubit
and the foot. These were subseq uently
adopted by the Egyptians, who used
considerable variety, so that there is no
little confusion between the different
kinds of cubit and foot. The natural
cubit of about Is inches, and the foot,
which was two-thirds Of this length,
were transferred to Greece, and, the Gu
bit having fallen into disuse, the foot
became the ordinary standard Of the
Romans. At the same time the double
cubit, which was equivalent to three
feet, would appear to have survived in
form of the ell of midiaval Europe,
and in that of our own yard. As all
these measures were originally derived
from the proportions of the human
body, some caution is necessary in re-
ferring to their origin to remote antiq-
uity rather than directly to the length
of the forearm or of the foot. It must
be admitted, however, that the coinci
dence of length among all civilized ma
tions is very striking. The derivation
of the pound weight is more compli-
Gated. The earlier Tower pound APP.
pears to have been of Roman origin,
being presumably identical with the
Greek Asiatic nina, while the hundred
weight corresponded to the talent or
weight of cubic foot of water. Sub
sequently the Troy pound was substi
tuted, and, for commercial transactions,
the pound avoirdupois, from the old
French pound of Is ounces. 1t is evil
dent, however, that our weights and
measures in the dark ages, were in an
unsettled state, and subject to arbitrary
alterations at the will of the monarch

TENDER DAUGHTER.-A curious and
touching story is told of brave, high
spirited girl, daughter of one Of the
most distinguished Of Saigo's generals,
who was found after the last battle was
over lying dead in the meat OF the
castle with the gastly head Of her father
in her right hand and in her left the dead
ly knife with which she had taken her
own life. She was attired in garments of
the richest and most expensive quality,
and had evidently undertaken the dread
full, last and highest duty enjoined upon
her by her hopeless parent, with the
most lofty sense of its overwhelming
importance and an unshrinkIng face in
its absolute necessity, if her fathers
honor and name were to remain unsul-
lied in the recollection of men. The
steady hand and firm purpose that sac
rificed her father failed not when she
drove the knife into her own heart or
stood up to receive its deadly thrust
from retainer's hands. Such exhibit
ton of lofty courage, splendid spirit
of self-sacrifice and stern sense of
duty lights up the terrible shadows of
that fierce contest about the monastry
moat, with glory which time can never
dim The unknown Japanese lady has
won a place among the real heroes Of
the world. 1t was of'such stuff that the
leaders Of the fatal instruction was
made 1t is pity that so many gallant
and heroic men fell in such hopeless
contest, for they were Of the very best
blood Of Japan, and struggled from al
most the first against disheartening odds.
