THE NEW BONNETs.

The great majority of the new bon
nets have the trimming placed on the
top of the bonnet in front of the crown,
though not always svmmetrically. Here
is pretty capote, the crown and brim
of which are covered with folds OF
brown velvet, running downward on
the former and diagonally on the latter.
Between each of the diagonally az
ranged folds Oh the brim is placed q
fold of beige-colored velvet. The pouf
of trimming on the top of the bonnet is
composed of a bouillonne of velvet on
one side and a mass of black-and-yel-
low plumage on the other. The strings
are in brown velvet ribbon, backed with
satin.
Another similar bonnet is covered
with fancy brocade-pink shot with
gold thread-and bound with dark
brown plush, the strings being in rib
bon of the same color and material A
drapery of maize-hued plush, forming a
pouf at the top of the bonnet. is carried
down III folds to the ears. On one side
of this poHf nestles a black-and-yellow
bird
A third is made OF black velvet. with
81 iet-beaded edge. tied with wide black
satin ribbons. and trimmed with a poui
of pink feathers and some pink aigrette
The capote> which do not have the
decoration on the top, are generally
made with an open brim setting Slightly
away from the hair. and covered, lined,
and trimmed as flatly as possible. The
crowns are low and round. Here is
one covered with bTonze-brown velvet,
the brim of which Is lined with copper
colored gros-grain. Around the crown
is draped piece Of the same material
The strings are OF fancy brown ribbon,
composed of stripes OF velvet and bro
cade, and nearly at the back, just be-
hind the left ear, Is fastened 4 small
plume OF copper-colored ostrich tips.
Another similar bonnet, also bronze
brown, is covered with thick-Tibbed
faille All round the brim IS sewn a
scalloped trimming OF brown wooden
beads, with the points inward, and
three more rows of the beads surround
the crown. at the side Of which is placed
a handsome piece OF pluma age-brown,
shot with dark blue. 1t is tied with
strings OF btoTvn plush ribbon, edged
with narrow silk fringe woven in the
ribbon itself -Pdris Letter.

and cannot but be distressing to the gentle
mans fellow-citizens and co-laborers. There
is a narrow chance Of mistake somewhere,
and to this we cling. It is hard to believe that
Mr.. Sullivan has allowed himself to lapse from
his usual urbanity and that easy bearing that
marks the gentleman. But even if he did pen
these unnatural sentiments, it is morally GER
tain that his generous heart did not suggest
them. They must have been the result of a
kind Of emotional frenzy, the effect of mental
oyerwork. AS soon as he RECEIVERS he will
hasten to make amends. It was thoughtlessly
cruel to give them to the public, and we are
amazed that the press of Boston should be in
considerate enough to do SO.

enthusiasm that will overcome the lack Of as
Economical and surveying instruments. The
elective system is largely experimental in
high-schools; probably no other in the West
has so wide course to select from as our own.
Among the incongruities Of the regular
course (three-ffths Of the subjects are re-
quired for graduation1 is the teaching of
Guyots ponderous Physical Geography in
the first year, when it should really be senior
elective study. Another is that students are
allowed to graduate without studying any bio
logical subject, although they are compelled
to take both physics and chemistry on the
inorganic side Of natural science Certainly
either history, zoology or physiology should
be a required study, as no student can in these
times be regarded as fairly informed who has
totally neglected the study Of organisms.
These studies form the proper introduction to
all modern researches in anthropology, ethnol-
ogy, and even social states and metaphysics.
No school faculty or board Of education is
competent to lay out course Of instruction
for school of nearly one thousand young
people, Of both sexes and Of all social states
and prospects, without counsel and compari-
son. Their ideas of what knowledge is of the
most worth for the business Of life and for
mental training are too dependent on the
method and quality Of their own education to
be unbiased as a standard.
It would be well for the board and faculty
Of our High-school to appoint committee Of
visitors to inspect the work done and the
course Of instruction. The knowledge Of the
board is secondhand, being derived from the
superintendent and principal. The latter,
again, have made the scheme, and so are not
the ones to judge Of it's merits. They have
had no opportunity to travel about and COM
pare their work and course with the great high
schools Of other cities. A board Of visitors
would probably find little to condemn; they
might advise some profitable changes. Their
work might well lead down to the lower grades
of our schools, and if they found them the
best in North America, the world should eer-
tainly be appraised of it, and 1t would be a
source Of justifable pride and comfort to
teachers and patrons.

MATTER OF ECONOMY.

Indianapolis is the equal OF, If not the supe-
rior to, any city in the country of anything
like che same population in all that pertains
to domestic economy and cheapness Of living,
with one single exception: that is the proper
and clearly facilities of a public market.
Every one who goes to the city market
knows that he can buy cheaper and fresher
vegetables than can be had Of the green
grocers. He knows that he has before BIN
the opportunity to choose between kinds,
ages and varieties Of the articles wanted, and
a very little experience will demonstrate that
he can buy better, fresher and cleaner vege-
tables and meats at from one-quarter to one
half the price paid the grocery. There are
many reasons why this is true The pro-
Queer who goes to market two or three times
a week, or even six times week, takes his
freshest products; and there is no middle man
between him and the consumer nor does
he pay the rent and expenses that
are necessarily incurred by the man who
keeps place of business in business house,
on q prominent street, with clerk hire gas,
fuel, and other expenses. Any city or COM
munity Is only a family enlarged. The do
mestic economy that inures to the benefit of q
single household would, If properly and con-
servatively managed, apply to an entire city
or community. This proposition Is mani
testify correct; and ii follows, as a natural
sequence that there should DO place where
the producer and the consumer could meet
each other with reasonable comfort and con-
venience, within seasonable hours and with
the conveniences and facilities that expert
ence has demonstrated as necessary to buy and
sell those articles that enter into daily life in
every family. Now, what is wanted in
indianapolis is a market-house; an in
closure covering the entire space
between the new building known as
the City Building and extending in equal
width east to Alabama street. This building
should be entirely covered, and rooted in, and
so arranged that in winter the sides could DO
closed and made weather-proof, and with
proper drainage, so that men, women and
children could 60 there without danger
from exposure, or inconvenience and discom-
fort from filthy surroundings. The Journal
has been steady advocate Of market house
covering the entire east market square. It
believed that to be vastly more important to
the city than the City Hall. But the latter
has been built, and now there should be no
delay in completing the remainder of the
structure. and giving to Indianapolis the
much-needed market facilities Scarcely any
improvement that could be suggested would
be of such instant value and convenience to
our people as this.
