PIArDED CHEvIoTs.

The new plaided cheviots, in colors,
are being combined with silk, for street
dresses, and received with great favor.
Veillngs, crepelines, and other light
fabrics are being selected for girls com
mencement or graduation dresses and
they are being made up already, though
it seems a little early. The general
model includes full, beted waist and
accordion skirt. White is of course the

trimmed long wraps are feature OF the
season.
"THE sGIKADO DRESS.
What is called Mikado dress is very
appropriate for receiving callers or for
wear in the afternoons. One recently
seen was in pink and black figured India
silk, trimmed altogether with black
MORE. The waist portion was loose,
laid in thick folds, one side crossing the
other diagonally. The sleeves had pecu-
liar flaps OF the material. coming from
the shoulders, in imitation OF Japan csc
robes. About the waist was gracefully
drawn n wide sash of the black MORE,
and the skirt was trimmed with broad
front panel OF the same.
A GARDEN DRESS.
A dainty garden dress to be worn this
GUNNER 10y d fashionable Young lady
here is in a striped light silk, in green
aud white, the green stripe having a
woven design Of flowers. The skirt Is
gracefully draped with embroidered silk
net, passing beneath Il broad girdle of
velvet, fastened by gold fancy buckle.
The waist portion is trimmed with a
ja6Ot of pink crepe tSSe.
NEW pAEAsoLs.
Parasols are in more sorts and styles
than ever saw them before. They show
n marked increase III the length OF stick.
All Of them now show the la Tosca
length, whether for carriage use or for
the promenade, and even umbrellas are
now shown with these long sticks. Para
sol handles are multiform. The plainest,
in any of the favored woodstock,
malacca. Hungarian ash, or snake
wood-haye simple heavy caps OF silver
or gold. A French idea is the Dresden
china head, frail but dainty. Ornate
silver handles reach from the edge OF
the covering to the top, some being
twelve inches deep. These naturally are
expensive.
FOR TIE EVENING.
Asto evenings, brocaded sills, particu-
larly striped brocades, are chosen for the
plain promenade parssois, but the car
rage canopies are all in the most filmy,
soft materials, lined with silk. One deli
cately pretty carriage parasol seen was
lns pale-gray crepe, with embroidered
hSsc cover. shirred up to produce a
gathered effect. Others are in mousse
taine de sOie, lace, and six net.
The skirt Of the fashionable riding
habit seems to become bnefer with every
successive season. If this shriDkage goes
on the ultimate result IS appalling.
ODDS AND ENDS.
Jonquils are the fashionable flowers
for hats and bonnets.
The Louis Ky. coat is now worn with
Directore jaJot il white on black lace.
Garden hats are in light yellow Leg
horn straw, very wide brimmed and
trimmed with roses and ribbons. Some
of the prettiest have barbes Of lace at
tached.
Persian effects continue popular. They
have been introduced in the new bro
cades with excellent effect.
La Tosca nets are new evening goods
for draping.
Butterflies, bees, dragon-hies, beetles,
and spiders add to the attractiyeness OF
some of the new French bonnets.

The enthusiast who watches a solar
eclipse without protecting his vision pays
for his rashness by developing a central
blind spot which may not disappear for
years or may leave him permanently
blind. DIR. Whitney reported seven cases
Of premature injury to the vision In
japanese students from exposure to sun
light during eclipse. On another occasion
an engineer was rendered blind by ex-
posture to the light of a powerful electric
arc. The intense glare of the snow is
also productive of blindness. 1t is not
unusual for woodsmen Or hunters to be-
come so affected. The intense glare of
the tropical seas also produces blindness,
known as ''moon blindness" enormously
attributed to the effect of the rays of the
moon, but in reality caused by the SUMS
rays.
Light is essential for the development
of vision, as the retina must have a GER
tain amount of stimulus to develop its
action. In illustration of this fact we
may simply refer to the blind fish of
the Mammoth cav
Disease in various forms plays a part
in causing blindness. At one time small
pox was a most prolific cause of loss of
sight. Measles and other eruptive fevers
still cause much blindness. In thickly
populated countries, where about one-
third of the population become affected,
visual defects in consequence are enor-
mously great. In hot and dry countries
ophthalmia is exceedingly prevalent.
Napoleon, when in Egypt, had at one
time about one-fourth of his army af-
fected. This form of disease is exceed
ingly contagious, and a similar form of
disease finds its origin in schools and in
situations where cleanliness is over
looked.
Epidemics of pinkeye still live within
the recollection of many present. While
these diseases do not, as a rule, lead to
blindness directly, yet the secondary re-
suits are baneful.-Dr. L. w. Fox in
Journal of Franklin Institute.

STYLES OF HAIa CUTTING.
A Western Barber Gets Out an Amusing
and Unique Fashion Plate.

and Unique Fashion Plate.
MI. Henry A. Mayor, a Main street
barber, has perfected a unique hair dress
er's fashion plate. A man can look over
the fashion plate, select the style of hair
cut or beard trimming he wants, and has
only to call out the number of the one
selected without giving any further in
structions. The idea of getting up such a
fashion plate suggested itself to him one
day while looking in the show window
of a photograph gallery. He has spent
over a year in perfecting his fashion
plate, has it copyrighted and has applied
for a patent.
In order TO properly carry out his plan
of getting up a fashion plate, he would
would go to the park or some public
place, or even on the street, find a suit
able subject and induce him to have his
hair or beard trimmed in the style most
becoming to him, then AVE him pho
tographed, front, side, and back view.
The fashion plate shows ~forty-eight diff
ferent views. There are seventeen diff
erent styles of trimming the beard,
the "Greeley, " English, Z" Vanderbilt"
'Turko," SENATOR" Scotch" "Ger-
man, ""American, ""French, " "Ladida,"
Birdie" three kinds of prince Albert"
'Favorite, Clergy" and several slight
variations from these. The American
or Southern style is the most popular
for older men, and the "Favorite" for
younger men.
The styles of cutting the hair are
many, and all the styles are represented
on the plate. Three or four styles of
p%ompadour are shown, and a barber who
knows his business has q better chance
to cut n mans hair to suit his face in a
~pompadour cut than n other. This is
still the most popular style. The prin-
cipal styles of hair cutting he calls the
~one-fourth, one-half and three-fourths
shingle, with different styles of parting
and of trimming the neck. Then there
are the Saratoga" the "horse shoe"
the Feather edge" the "high peaked"
society" and square" pompadour, the
tight clip" medium clip and 'Bill
Nye" styles. Several heads perfectly
bald on top have the hair so arranged as
to cover up the deficiency. The Logan
roll is the most elaborate hair cut, and is
really two cuts in one. The hair Is cut
long and square all around. Then the
hair is lifted up, and a regular one
quarter single cut given and the long
hair turned under at the bottom.-Kan-
sas City Times.

There are several turtles and a seven
foot alligator in the fountain near the
railway station in Albany, Ga. Some of
the men have been amusing themselves
by throwing the turtles in its capacious
mouth. 1t would crush down upon
them, but it failed to make a mash, as it
only squeezed down upon the hard shells
which incase the terrapin like a coat of
mail. 1t would press down for a while
upon them, and then, finding that they
would not collapse, it would lazily open
its mouth, and turning its head to one
side, would let the turtle drop out

Chinese Are Still Coming.

1t is said that the Chinese Six Com

bringing coolies over the Mexican line
at Tia Juana, n few miles south of San
Diego. The boundary line is 200 miles
long and there is only one United States
officer to watch it, with his office at Tia
Juana. The Chinese colony in San Diego
is my~steriously increasing with great
rapidity and the attention Of the govern
ment has been called to this singular in
