What Men VIII Wear.

From the New York World
It is evident now that the Ascot scarf has
come to stay.
Fashionable handkerchiefs run Largely toward
embroidered designs
Night robes with flowers woven into the
bosoms are in great demand.
A new shade in spring derbys is smoke color.
1t is an exceedingly soft and delicate tint.
In vests, the notched collar is still the favor

other styles in order to differ from the multi

A MedicaI Opinion on NIarriaoe.

Says the British Medical Journal: 1.-THE rem
edy for unhappy marriages seems to us to lie
not in weakening the stringency of the bond,
but in providing that it shall be entered into
with an adequate knowledge of all the condi-
tons attached to it and willingness to submit
to them. For this some amount of physiological
teaching is indispensable, and there need be no
difficulty in imparting it without the slightest
damage to innocent minds. We are firmly
convinced that if unions were arranged in ac-
cordance with MISUNDERSTOOD scientific princi-
pies more often than they now are, we should
hear less of the unhappiness or failure of mar
riage."

drawn the chief prize in the Louisiana lottery he
would not have been more surprised. His eye

Pellegrini as a Thief. Catcher,

Some time ago Pellegrini was travelling on the
underground railway between the city and the
West end. Next to him In acarriage sat fash
ionably attired lady, while on a seat opposite
was man well dressed but evidently not gem
tlenan. This individual hurriedly left the Tenn
pie station, and a few minutes after the lady
discovered that purse containing over f10 in
gold which she had carelessly placed on the seat
beside her had been stolen. Information was
given at Scotland Yard. and Pellegrini rendered
himself as witness. When called upon to de-
scribe the man. the lady declared that she had
scarcely taken any notice of him during the
time that he was in the carriage. Pellegrini
asked for sheet Of paper, and taking from his
pocket the stump of a lead pencil. he drew with
marvellous rapidty the figure OF the man he
had carefully noted during the journey between
the Mansion House and the Thames embank-
ment. So lfelike was the sketch that the police
recognized 1t as the portrait Of notorious
swell mobsman. That very night the thief was
arrested, and in his possession was found the
stolen purse, though the greater portion Of the
money had been frittered away. Peligrini re-
quested that he might not be taken into court
as witness, and his wish was complied with

After repeated postponements, and
long, and not fully explained delays,
the prospects for the accomplishment
OF Mr.. Bartholomew Inter-island
telegraph enterprise appear to be
Frightening. The Victoria, b. c.,
Evening Standard of April 18th con
tains an item to the effect that four
car loads of electric apparatus passed
through Ottawa for Honolulu via
Vancouver, and that this material
was supposed to be for the proposed
cable between British Columbia and
these Islands. We see no reason for
doubling that the news Of the ma
terial being on its way across the
continent at the date named was cor
rect, but the Standard must have
been out In its surmise of the pur-
pose for which it was intended
There is no trans-Pacihc cable pro-
ject at any such stage of maturity as
to be having electric apparatus com
ing forward by the car load.
