FROM the Edinburgh Review.
The height of the waves produced at sea in a
storm depends mainly on the two conditions of
the depth OF the water through which they
travel and of the length of fetch" or unbroken
space which extends from the shore. 1t follows
that the most gigantic waves are produced
where the sea PUSHES for the longest distance
and at the greatest depth directly on the shore
In the long duel between man and nature We
here arrive at the term Of human power. At
Wick, with fetch OF about 600 miles, waves
been observed TO sInite the breakwater. Com
mander Dayman observed that the highest
waves off the Cape of Good Hope rose 20 feet
the gales which produce them extending over
a distance OF from 800 to 600 miles. In the
Atlantic ocean DIR. Scoresty measured the
ent occasions In March. 1913, he wrote: 'In
the afternoon of this day stood sometimes on
tiie saloon deck or cuddy root. watching the
sublime spectacle presented by the turbulent
more terribly magnificent" Looking from the
port padde-boX, he says: IL found at least one
half OF the waves which overlook and passed
the ship were far above the level of my eye
Frequently observed long ranges mot acumi-
mated peaks extending 100 yards, perhaps, on
ing nearly right aft, which rose SO high above
the visible horizon as to form angle esti.
mated at two or three degrees, when the dis
tauce OF the wave SUBMITS was about 100 yards
from the observer. This measure of elevation
was by no means uncommon, occurring,
should think, at least once In halt dozen
waves. sometimes peaks Of crossing or crests
or breaking seas would shoot upward at least
10 or 10 feet higher" The mean highest waves
not including the broken or accumulated crests
ABOVE the level of the hollow occupied at the
moment by the ship.

royal wedding. The necessity of bringing every.

F. w. Buroridge, In Gardeners Monthly.
In houses wherein reside one or moro daugh-
tiers Of marriageable age an empty dower-pot
OF an ornamental character is encircled by q
ring ana suspended from the window or YER
anda by three light chains. Now, the Juliets OF
Japan are, OF course. attractive, and their RO-

INSTEAD Of serenades by moonlight and other
oencate ways of making an impression 1t Is
etiquette for the Japanese lover to approach
the dwelling of his lady bearing some choice
plant In his hand, which he proceeds to plant
IN the empty vase. This takes place at time
when he Is fully assured that both mother and
daughter are at home, and I need scarcely say
that neither of them Is at all conscious that

Lhls act OF placing pretty plant into the empty
mower pot Is equivalent to q formal proposal to

SLIGHT CHANGES ONLY TO BE MADE FOR THE

From the Boston Herald.
The evening full dress suit of the coming
season will vary but little in actual appearance
from that of preceding years. The coat, as q
rule, will be of fine diagonal wOrsted cloth, al
though for elderely gentlemen brOadclOth is
frequently worn. The fronts OF the garment
are so cut that when lying close into the body
the ends of the roll will meet. The we'll peaked
iapeis are to be exceedingly light, with five
outtonhOles, trifie below the third Of which
they are made to turn. Silk facing covers the
iapels TO the buttOnhOles. The collar Is to be
made q trifie less in width than the top Of the
lapel, ITS outer edges ranging very nearly with
the outside edges OF the lapel. The edges are

OF Worsted, and the trowscrs and vest OF the
same material. Should the coat and veft, how
ever, be made of broadclOth, the trowsefs are to

The Dress OF Women.


The Queen publishes some useful remarks by
Lady John Manners on the subject of the dress
Of women and their personal adornment gener.
ally. The article in question is characterized
by good sense and pure taste, and will be found,
we hope, to have dealt an effective blow at the
absurd habit Of Overdressing which mars in a
considerable degree the bearing of all classes at
the present day. NeatnesS and cleanliness, as
the aims OF good taste In dress rather than dis
play, may be said to form the text of this timely
paper. The essential connection between per-
sonal cleanliness and health is also well
brought out. 1t is satisfactory to note that
some stress is laid upon the fact that
those who value their appearance should
make much of the freshness common in
youth. but often spoiled by the usAges of an arti-
hcial life. A habit OF bathing regularly is en-
joined, and late hours and the atmosphere of
heated rooms deservedly and unreservedly con-
demned Another important point touched on
this article is the weight of dress, which we
agree with the author ought to allow Of the
Wearer doing the greatest amount Of work with
the least possible fatigue. There is also stroke
at various kinds of "dress improvers" and other
unnatural but fashionable deiormities. We may
close these remarks with the words of a QUOTA
ton from Mr. Ruskin, used by her lady ship,
that what is required is "decency and whole
sOmeness OF dress; thoroughly good in SUBJ
stance, fitted for daily work, becoming to rank
and life, and wOrE with order and dignity"

From the Savannah News
They were very jolly crowd OF half dozen
pretty young ladies. They had spent the day
at Montgomery fishing and Grabbing and had
had lots OF fun. All of the crabs were in one
small basket when the party left the train at
the Anderson street depot to take the street-car.
A brother Of one OF the young misses, lad of
sixteen, carried the empty lunch basket and
the crustacea. The midday sun had kissed
rather too ardently their sweet faces, and
twelve fair cheeks reflected a ruddy glow sug-
costing an application of sour cream at night.
They were chatting and laughing merrily ali
the way down Whitaker street past the park
extension. Just as the car was nearing CASTOR
street an unlucky jolt sent all the passengers
humping against each other. The same mo-
ment the basket containing the hard shells
went spinning out from under the seat, and the
top cover rolled of, strewing the floor with two
dozen swapping, business-like crabs. They
started to hunt for water Immediately and
hustled along pretty lively, swapping viciously
at six pair of dainty shoes that were in the
aisle.
Six piercing shrieks but before the last note
glided out of the car door every blessed one of
those girls were standing up on the seats. How
they got there is lost. An expert with stop
watch could not have timed them. They were
high and dry and safe. grasping their skirts.

Attention has been again called to the evil OF

cab in the Rue Castigione and died an hour
afterward. The daughter was "A little i'm adj

All influence. Attacked individually by sour
rlllous newspapers, and i'm a mass by municipal
councillors, they are afraid of showing zeal

sinie. They have no control over street traffic
A policeman, for instance, is stationed at the
intersection of the Opera square and the Boule-
Vard, but he calmly sees cabs and CARR ages
pass by the crossing at full speed, or draw up
and lntersect the crossing. When il rains and
when the carriage traffic increases and the
dangers OF pedestrians also, he takes shelter
under the caves of the houses. As for stopping
vehicles to allow pedestrians to cross, such q
thing is scarcely TO be noticed once year.
