FALL STYLES ron MEN.
The Boston Notion AS TO Hats, Shoes
Gloves and Canes.

1.
Gloves and Canes.
The Fall style in hats is but slight eIag-
geration Of last Winters fashion. The silk
hat is made with a bell-shaped crown and q
very large brim with only q moderate roll.
With one class Of young men, a hat SO large
as to border on the ridiculous Is in great
demand. The style is very English"
which may account for the demand. The
crush or opera hat follows always the gen.
eral style OF the silk hat, never, however,
qnte reaching the limit Of the style attained
by its silk brother. The derby hat for
street wear Is worn large, with what
Is known as the English shovel brm, which
is flat and straight at the 'front.' and with a
decided curl at the sides. The soft hat is
worn very little, the Baltimore" low
crowned head covering being the style, IL,
indeed, it can be said to have style. A
few gentlemen will wear the soft hat when
in evening dress, but 1t is considered bad
form," and the crush will probably always
hold its own as the proper head covering for
evening use.
The extreme tightness Of the trousers makes
narrow toed shoes a necessity, and 1t is
probable that the fashionable young man will
continue to suffer until larger 'spring
to his pantaloons gives him chance tc
wear once more the easy but homely
broad toe. Shoes will be made during
the coming season, upon English lasts
Dark uppers have taken the place Of the
brighter colors. The shoe for every day veal
will be laced or CATER made in imitation Of
the laced article. For evening wear, the low
patent leather pumps will be worn, although
the silk topped shoe, which is an almost per
feet counterfeit off pumps and black sill
stocking is becoming more and more popular
Gloves in tan coors with embroidered
stitching are still fashionable for street wear
while the one-fngered mitten with fur bind
ing at the wrist will be worn for winte
driving. Gloves with evening dress will no
be worn.
The fashionable canes are made Of ligh
material with oxidzcd and engraved sive
crooks and cross bars. The English buck
horn is also in great demand.

distinguished features, however, is a
huge mouth cavity, which is quite dis

ment OF the jaws, presence of extensible
membranes, etc. (as M. valiant describes
inComptes Rendus) of very wide enlarge

and is there partly digested. The loco

A COURAGEOUS Investigation

The celebrated French physician and
scientist DIR. Pasteur, has been conduct
ing series of dangerous experiments
on rabid animals, more than 200 cases
of bydrophobis having been carefully
observed and studied by him. The re-
suits Of these experiments prove that
hydrophobia in its acute form can be
prevented by inoculation. DIR. Pasteur
has several dogs that are proof against
the attacks of any rabid animal, as they
have been vsccinated with the virus
from q mad dogs brain, he having found
that the nervous system is the actual
seat of the disease. But these expert
ments have not yet proved SO practically
useful to the world in general as DR..
Pasteur's studies OF the rouget or red
fever, disease among swine, destroying
20, 900 last year in France alone. DIR.
Pasteur has succeeded in developing q
comparatively innocuous form Of the
microbius causing the disease, with
which he vaccinates the swine, fully pro-
tecting them against the more fatal form
Of rouget. The same principal has
also been successfully applied to horses
by q couple Of German scientists, as re-
ported in German medical review.
