Pretty BonnetS.

A pretty French bonnet in princesse
shape, displayed by an uptown MILL
ner, had its entire surface covered with
deep red and orange-shaded velvet,
nasturtiums and wall flower blossoms,
which were yelled with black Brussels
nets dotted with jet beads. Another
larger bonnet of dark Venetian green
velvet was wreathed with shaded plush
autumn leaves, magnifcently colored
in scarlet, green and gold-not sepa-
rated, but with one gorgeous shade
blending into another like the natural
foliage. A third bonnet was made of
ruby velvet and trimmed with a mass
of pale pink velvet dahlas set up direct
ly in front. One model in black velvet
was made brilliant and most effective
by long, slender sprays of vivid red
sumac arranged Ike feathers at the
front and sides of the ''fishw fe'' poke,
which fared sharply in the center and
curved broadly at each side. These
flower and foliage-trimmed bonnets
were exceptions to the general rule
which prevailed among the handsome
array of bonnets and hats, as wide
cashmere patterned scarfs in deep
autumn combinat ons of color, velvet,
gilt ribbons, sparkling tinsels, en-
broideries on net, military braids in
basket weavings. and fancy dotted and
striped ribbons, with scalloped edges,
form the gay garniturage of the major
ity of stylish models, N. Y Post.

The estate of fifteen thousand acres
of William Walter Phelps, located on
Teaneck Ridge, is the most celebrated in
New Jersey for extent and fine arbori-
culture. The lands reach from the Hack
ensack River to the shore of the Hud-
son, comprising several farms and
about eight hundred acres surrounding
the homestead, which are laid out as
pleasure park. The center part of the
homestead, as it now stands, was the
highpeaked roof house; this Mr..
Phelps has added to until it is now a
rambling cottage of quaint design

THE more recent and fatal mistakes
made by druggist and their clerks, in
dealing out poisonous medicine for the
simple compound, has awakened a
deep interest in the minds of the peo-
pie, and brings up the simplicity of
the plan so often suggested for the
prevention of accidental poisoning
that Of keeping all poisons in walls of
a special shape which is. perhaps, the
reason for its failure of general accep-
tation by chemists. The average
dealer in drugs loves to enshroud his
wares in mystery, even as the local
preacher deligbteth in meaningless
polysyllable phrases; and for kin
dred reason. Statutory enactments
have done something toward lessening
the public danger from this form of
egotism; they should be made still
more specific and peremptory, before
the remedy is fully reached.
