This year the joyous festival of spring
was more than usually marked by flowers
and new dresses. The churches seemed
to be decorated as never before with
profusion of Observation-Disclosures OF all de
nominations alike minded the day. Special
services of music We're held i'll many of them.
But the great feature of the day was the
new dresses and Easter bonnets. The cos
tunes which first saw the light of Fifth
avenue Easter afternoon We're marvels in
more senses than one. The rage this year is
for combinations of contrasting color. Some
of them are hideous. Colors and tints, that
have heretofore been considered the proper
thing for evening costumes, are generously
displayed in the broad sunlight. Fifth ave
nue. in the light of the new spring dresses
looks like a moving garden of old-fashioned
marigolds, zinnias, hollyhocks and sun
flowers. One dress was deep red, with panels
of sky blue, Cream color and golden brown
was another street combination. Vet an
other was a brilliant, fiery orange and black,
handsome and striking for evening, but
queer in the street.
The tendency is to broad and picturesque
effects i'll dress in doors and out One might
say, i'll truth, queer and loud effects, and not
he wrong III some instances.

The Ladies' Health association of New York
have taken up in earnest the question of re-
moving the slaughter houses from New York

other sickness. Deaths in the slaughter
house districts are far more numerous than
elsewhere in the city.

those of a bicycle. 1t is steered from the

The society of naturalists of st. Petersburg
has received permission TO send several of its
members to join the Russian representatives
on the Afghan boundary commission, with
the view to the scientific exploration of Cen
trial Asia. The British commission, which is
now on the ground, has with it Il geologist, a
naturalist and several topographers, There
is then a good prospect of something accu-
rate being made known to the world at large
regarding a region of which very little has
been described with precision.
A writer in The London Lancet makes him
self deaf at will. He puts some spermaceti
ointment upon tiny square of thin, limp
cotton CLOTH, brings the corners together, and
ties them with thread. This forms a little
plug, which he presses gently but firmly into
each ear. 1t makes him quite deaf to ordi-
nary noises, and he is able to sleep through
the sound of pianos, cats, babies and thunder.
The ointment must not be too soft, and must
be about the size of pea. 1t must lie loosely
in the little cotton bag.

An American newspaper, The New York
Sun, suggested that the principle of the oil
pipe lines in the United States could be APP
piled to the conveying of water through the
desert for the use of the British troops in
Soudan. The suggestion was taken up in
England and the plan actually adopted. 1t
is to lay line of pipe from Berber to Sua-
kim and force water through by powerful
pumping engines. The New York firm that
made the engines for the oil company is now
manufacturing similar ones for the British
government The distance from Berber to
Suakim is 260 miles. Pumping engine sta
lions will be placed from 20 to so miles apart
along the route. While the railway already
projected is building, the pipe will supply
those constructing it with water. Should
FL Mahdis men cut the pipe at any point, it
will be Immediately detected by diminished
pressure of water at the nearest station, and
force can be sent ont to repair it.

SCIENCE ZPRoGRESS
Boys in Industrial Schools.

The old system of apprenticing to trades
has died out in America. Nothing so good
has taken its place as yet. The result is that
our best mechanics are nearly all foreigners.
They come from lands where manual trades
are still learned by apprenticeship. The
American boy drifts into professions and
clerkships, and catches hold haphazard
wherever he can. Consequently, professions
and clerkships are overcrowded. The coun-
try is full of youths with hungry stomachs
and white hands, who ought to be doing
manly work in the trades and earning good
living. 1t is bad state of affairs.
To remedy it, industrial schools have been
proposed These are simply apprentice
classes where boys may become skilled work
men in any branch Of the mechanical trades
Such schools are the need of the country to-
day a good trade to boy is worth gold
Several such training establishments have
already been started in various parts of the
country. The picture below shows scene
from the New York City trade schools.

new and very pretty fashion is coming
in, which ladies having leisure time on their
hands will he pleased to cultivate. 1t is
nothing less than having door panels painted
in flowers, vines, and other artistic designs.
Women who have learned To draw will very
readily be able to make these paintings for
themselves. Wal. paintings in flower, leaf

are especially lapJed % the dining room
A border or friez' around the whole top Of
the walls of n room is very striking when
artstically done For a dining room we
have seen one of Il twining grapevine, with
clusters of fruit, and vines and tcndrils. In
cities it is the custom TO hire decorator to
do this wall and door painting. There is
really no reason at all however, why women
should not learn to do it themselves, and
thus decorate their own homes 1t would be
n new kind of fancy work, infinitely more
artistic and fascinating than crazy-quit
making. The time spent, too, over n single
crazy quilt would often suffice to enable u
woman to draw and paint well. 1t is a neces-
sary part of an education now TO know how

rem,dying a defect in their early training by
learning it now.
Painted panels are set in many things where
one would hardly look for them. Painting,

There are over 200 pupils now in tie
schools. Large results in point of health
and safety may be expected, especially from
the plumbers class. If Col Auchmuty can
educate a conscience into the youths who
adopt this trade he will be benefactor of
the race. One of the directions given to the
young plumbers is this: 'Do not use inferior
material to secure job, or even to oblige
the owner; a leak in soil pipe may cause
death or the ruin of q life through sickness"
The young students ara instructed, besides
the shop-practice, by lectures and written
examinations. Thus their brains are taught
as well as their fingers. The former is an
important part of mechanics education
that is sometimes left out. They are also
taught that mechanic may be a gentleman

The Hair.

Some professor" maybe a barber or corn
doctor, has been delivering himself of oracu-
lar wisdom concerning the care of the hair.
This individual solemnly warns against
washing ii. Instead he recommends some
nasty mess composed of chloroform, grease
and ammonia to promote the growth of the
hair Perhaps he wants the ladies to blister
their scalpS, Dab il on the skim" he says.
Just so. "Dabbing" things upon the hair is
what the Alaska Indian does. He sometimes
has as much at ID pounds of rancid tallow
and yellow earth upon his head. The Alaska
Indian does not believe in washing his hair.
He allows the distinguished head-dreSs in
question to remain upon his head year by
year The smell it gives OF by and by is
said to be something fearful and wonderful.
But fo' n civilized white woman or man
nothing is better than washing ones hair, and
keeping it wholesome and decent. A clean,
white scalp showing underneath the parting
of the locks is real mark of beauty. Do not
put anything at all upon Your hair, Wash
it with fine toilet soap once n week thorough
ly, rubbing the scalp with your fingers. BE
careful to rinse the soap all out. Then rub
dry with towels Comb and brush well.
Continue this and you will find your hair be-
come soft and silky. Il may seem dry and
inclined to fly about at first, but if the soap
is all washed of it will bccom, soft aud ligl

Wonderful Invention in Teleg raphy.

Two Philadelphians Messrs. Hathaway
and Linville, have perfected piece of ma
chinery which Is designed to revolutioni4e
the whole system of telegraphy. The Morse
alphabet and the slow and painful practice of
sound-reading will he done away with at one
stroke by this invention. By it everybody
who can read can work telegraph instru-
ment For the telegraph companies the good
results of the change can hardly be estimated
For the operators employed by them. how
ever the revolution may not be an unmixed
good.
The invention consists simply in applying
the common typewriter to telegraphing. In
stead of making dots and marks, the operator
strikes the keys of a Typewriter containing
the ordinary alphabet, a, b. C, etc. He
strikes the keys to spell out the words and
letters of the message. These are printed
by electricity upon slip of paper
both at the operators desk and at the other
end Of the line where the message is received
The transmitting and receiving instruments
in this invention are precisely alike. Thus
there can be no errors in transmission. Forty
or fifty words per minute can be cent by al-
most any one. Much expense in telegraphing
will be done away with A ticket agent,
