Nine. Patti seemed last night to have been
impressed with the idea that her indisposi-
ton had caused a great deal OF annoyance
on Manhattan Island. When she first ap-
peared on the stage OF the Metropolitan
Opera-Housc. ] thought l could discover
lurking beneath that expression Of gay
insouciance q sort Of contrition. At any
rate she atoned for all shortcomings, by q
performance in IN Barbiere .di SiviRlia. -
that was conceded to be the best that she
has given this season.
Rarely has the Patti been moro archly de-
lightful. more coquettishly frolicsome. and
more i~ngenuously girlish than last night.
Her sprightliness was suggestive Of Lolita

comedy is another being from the Patti OF

READABLE THINGS.

One of the authors who interest people
almost as much in their personality as
their creations is Charlotte Bronte. The
frail little woman, nursing her masculine
strength of conception amid the simple but
strong loneliness of her surroundings. Is
quite what one would fancy the writer OF
Jane Eyre 10 be. Mrs. Walford's sketch
of Miss Bronte IN the last published volume
of the Critic is very intere 'ting.
1.-Two Voices, by Harry Harland, who
has published his preceding novels under
the nom ds plume of Sidney Luska, is a
variation on his former themes. The Hebrew

his books interesting reflections Of the He

Tolume. IL has the usual psychological
character OF Mr.. Harland's work.

This style of tat has gone throngl all the
varioTs stages of evolution of the wi re
and narrow curled brim, and high, low
and square topped crown in the past two
or three wears. and has now been brought
down to the very smallest possible COM
pass rs regards receptive capacity.
From this point it will probably branch
out again and develop from first prin-
clples. by easy stages, through all the
different sizes and shapes that have been
popular in past years, but, of course,
with such mo liiications as will prevent
any former style from being exactly
duplicated.
This reaction has apparently already set
in in the london styles, for the imported
derby hats of the present season are of
somewhat more generous dimensions
than the home product.

The Remarkable Possibility for Which

Science has already enabled man to ex-
tract fiery beverages and many other
things of more or less value from wood,
and it is now proposed to GO a step fur
Their and produce bread from wood. says
the Mnleng Record.
In an ADDRESS recently delivered in
Heidelberg, Germany, by no less eminent
an author than Victor Meyer. it is an
nounced ''that we may reasonably hope
tina chemistry will teach us to make the
ibre of wood the source of human food. "
What an enormous stock of food. then,

Cellulin is of little or no dietetic value,

product when boiled with weak acid.
The author further quotes the re-
searches of Hellriegel. which go t. show
beyond dispute that certain plants trans
form atmospheric nitrogen into albumen,
and that his process can be improved by
suitable treatment. The production,
therefore. of corn starch from cellulin.

U MEN's DERBY.


The styles of derby hats offered by all
the leading New York matters are very
similar. They have a perfectly round low
crown, which varies slight Y in height to
suit the age of the wearer. There is some
little variation in the curl of the brim,
but nearly all of them are built OF the
straight principle.
The YoumanS hat has the flattest brim
and The Knox style has the greatest curve
n curl, while the Dunlap derby takes a
sort of middle course between the ex-
IRENE simplicity of the aforementioned
make and the more Hogarthian lines of
the other.
The hats designed for young men are
moro jaunty in the general effect than
those intended to be worn by their elders
and have q somewhat higher crown.
This is also true of the silk-hat styles.
The tendency here is to the narrow brim
also, and the crown tapers slightly to-
wards tine top, especially in young mems
hats.

lay in q completely new set of hats at
least four times q year. To wear an early
Spring style derby or silk hat in the
Summer would 10 inexcusable, and he
would be still more culpable if he should
attempt to come out in tho Fnll with a

1t might be supposed that after a few
years of such violent and frequent fuc-
tuations in styles that tho ingenuity of
tho hatters who lead IN the fashions
would be exhausted, but there seems to
be no end to the variations and comLina-
ticns of STYLE.
