oyster sheIls in nTedIoInos

DR.. Peter Hood, of London, N a commune
cation to The Lancet, calls attention to an
article published by him in the same journal
some twenty years ago, on the value of cal
cium carbonate in the form Of calcined ov.
ster shells, as the means of arrestinQ the
growth of cancerOus tumors. In the case
which he then reported, that of a lady
nearly so years old, the growth sloughed
away and left a healthy surface after a
course of the remedy in question, as much
as would lie on a shilling being taken once or
twice day in a little warm water or ten.
He now reports another case of schirrus Of
the breast, in the wife of a physician. in
which the treatment was followed by an ar
rest Of the growth and a cessation of the
pain, the improvement having now lasted
for years, and no excrudescence having thus
far occurred. DIR. Hood says that the rem
edy can do no harm, and that the prima
facie evidence in its favor is certainly
stronger than that on which rests the use Of
chian turpentine, so eagerly resorted to by
the profession. He would restrict the trials
TO well marked cases Of schirrus, and no
benefit should be looked for in less than three
months.-New York Tribune.

30 Ionrer Denendent on Nntnre.

One thing to be borne in mind in rehec-
tions upon our future is that modern cities
are to an unprecedented extent artificial prod
ucts, the work of mems genius and energy.
Formerly nature decided where a great city
could grow up, and high civilization was
possible only on the sea coast or on the banks
Of great rivers. Now man has subjugated
nature to such an extent that he is, compare
lively speaking, Independent of her whim
and caprice. If natural waterways fail,
he may construct artificial waterways, and
even without the aid of navigation at all a
city may spring up in the heart of con
tinent.
Berlin, nearly the size of New York, is in
the center of great open plain on the con-
tinent of Europe and may be regarded as a
work of art. Only by canals can navigable
rivers be reached, while the modern iron
highway, the railroad, still more an artificial
product, is a far more important element in
developing Berlin, which has become an i'm
portant railroad center. It is the will Of man
which has made Berlin more important than
the seaports Bremen and Hamburg. g.-Balti

OuIetnoss Of italian Resorts.

The Italians, as a class, are most polite and
good natured. They are very curious, but
their curiosity is never annoying. l do not
think there is any country ON the continent
where the visiting royalties could be as free
as they are here at San Reno. When tho
young princesses here &C out to walk they
are never followed about, nor are they ever
stared at by even the peasants. They look
at them with kindly interest and politely
touch their hats, but they are never obtru-
sive. The watering place manners Of Eng
land will bear no comparison with the quiet
ness and gentleness Of the people in the
neighborhood Of italian resorts. The royal
princesses Of England cannot visit any Of
the sea places Of England and attempt to
walk in public without being followed by
such mob as to force them at once into re-
tirement.- G. Crawford in New York

To Make Hash Rolls.

Prepare the meat as for ordinary hash,
chopping it very fine. Moisten with a spoon
full of cold gravy or meat juice if you have
it; add an equal quantity of mashed potatoes
fresh is best, and the same of stale crumbs
grated and soaked in cream. Work all well
together with the hand, make into rolls about
three inches long and half the thickness, and
brown in a hot oven fifteen or twenty min.

NEW YORK CoRREsPoNpENcF.1

We are getting the last develop
ments of summer millinery. -Four ex-
amples are sketched in the first three
pictures of this article. In shape they
are not essentially different from the
hats of July, for they are brimless at
the back and wide of brim in front.
The entire absence % feathers is the
August characteristic. Ribbons in bows,
muslin in shirrs, and flowers in bunch
es have taken the place of feathers,
which are we'll nigh impossible anyhow
at the seashore resorts, where damp
ness quickly ruins them. While such
things are being worn by women in the
country, the milliners in town are get
ting ready for the autumn trade. The
early importations of hats for Septem-
Der show a disposition to return to
those styles which were in vogue prior
to the introduction of tall crowns and
capricious brims Many of the models
from Paris have low crowns, generally

try place. The first is a city girl in
what, according to her idea, is a rural
costume. Certainly it is breezy enough,
and suggestive of the open air. But
there is no simplicity about it, despite
the fact that the material is bingham.
The dress itself cost less than either
the hat that was worn with it or the
long suede gloves that give ballroom
aspect to the arms. That is incongru-
Gus and consequently reprehensible,
but we are recording facts, not making
criticisms, and that toilet is represent
tive of what may be seen this month
at the watering places. The country
girl portrayed is in bingham, too. But
in her case there are no inharmonious
adjuncts. Her sleeves reach to the
plain linen cuffs at her wrists, the bod
ice is not broken in front by inserted
lace, and white apron marks the So
cial distinction between her and the
other She was carrying fruit from her
fathers farm house to the hotel when
sketched
One of the places of very independ-
ent dressing, owing to its exclusive
character, is Tuxedo. Costumes may
be found there for which you might
search in vain elsewhere for dupli-
cate. A very smart polonaise worn on
a recent occasion at Tuxedo was in
lampas of cream color with just tinge
of pink. interviewer with gold. and
hemmed with ample marabout fringe
l. e., strands Of gaui1cred braid in color
approaching that of half-faded rose
leaves. This was worn over pale pink
satin petticoat festooned with white
lace, and lace chemisette confined
with corselet of golden hue. To
some tastes the effect was an almost
superabundance of richness, but it adj
mirably suited its handsome wearer.
Much quietcr was lilac-colored ben
galine hemmed with garland
of silver foliage; a mauve satin
skirt covered with embroidered net,
and wide ribbon sash of the same
color and texture as the petticoat, tied
over the coat, completed charming

bell-shaped, and preserving this sum-
mers styles only in brims narrow at
the back and broadening out in aureola

sically turned up here and there, rsr-
ally at one side, and are sometimes slit

reverent observer suggests that thoya"e
produced by being set l.p as a target
and hit by missiles, which knock them
into intricate designs. Although crowns
are generally lower, as l have said, the
alpine shape is retained in some in
stances, probably for the sake of those
women who dislike to dress with the
majority For them there will be hats
with tall, tapering crown and close
brims, but these will be exceptional.
There will also be Spanish hats of sim
liar outlines, and English hats with
conical crowns and brims curled at the
sides. The Tosca hat, which has been
Il SNOWY feature of the summer millin
cry, will be a drrssy type for early win
ter, so the milliners tell me. 1t will
be reproduced in felt and mostly in
green. They will be worn with the

feathers and wings. Instead of a COM
plete lining they will often have a band
of velvet close to the edge. Neat
shapes in turbans and toques are seen
in newly imported stocks, the greater
number with broad, low and square
crowns, the brim curled up regularly
all around, although higher in front
than at the back, and sometimes deeper
at one side than at the other.
Fashionable women aim at pictur-
sequences in their hats, and at quiet
neatness in their bonnet;. The contrast
betwt en- hats and bonnets will in that
respect be marked. l have seen some
models that might justly be called
hybrids, lie ,ause they consist of the

toilet. Another polonaise I could not
but admire had deep violet-pink
faille coat without any trimming, over
a white silk skirt figured with blurred
or chine flowers, and grass-green satin
sash tied about it. The contrast was
almost violent in its holiness, but these
contrasts are all the rage just now.
This reminds me of the fact that green
