FASHION NOTES.

Velvet petticoats have a growing
popularity.
Parasols of black Grape, with gold en-
broidered black lace cover, are espe cially
elegant.
The latest fad in colors is mushroom, "a
pale leather color in which there is a
modifying note of gray.
The vest is thing of divided empire,
being almost as much in requisition for
the gentler sex as for mankind.
Wash surah silks for tennis and other
outing costumes of especial elaboration
have white surface, pretliIy striped with
color.
Flounces of rich black lace give the
/ effect of ribbon trimming round the bot
tom, in either uniform or graduated
widths.
Neither hats nor bonnets have any
crowns to speak of, and many of them
are quite the form of mushroom with
garland about the edge.
Delicate thin wool yelling comes in
patterns embroidered in huge separate
blossoms either in the natural tiuts or in
a solid contrasting color.
/ The Princess robe and polonaise are
: coming ia and promise to be fayorite
styles toward the close of the season,
when heavier goods prevail.
The latest novelties in midsummer ma
terials are diaphanous white nets and silk
mousselines figured in flowers painted in
their natural tints on a pure white
ground.
/ Lace-like stripes are the feature in cot
ton and wooden thin dress goods, and are
made very effective by running in narrow
silk or velvet ribbons, and finishing with
rosettes OF the same.
A pretty gown being made at one of
the shops for use at the scashore is of
fine white cloth simply cut, with re-
versed hem, full sleeves and high collar
Of tle-brown velvet.
I Flowers are the garniture par excel
/ lence this season. Not only do they APP
/ pear in profusion on hats and bonnets,
but they are strewn over all the more
fashionable dress goods.
Cheviots are in special demand for tail
Or-ma1c gowns, and are severely simple
/ in cut and style. Checks and plaids are
largely adopted, the bodice cut crossover
and lined with silk; the skirt only faced.
Muslin dresses are made with straight
tucked skirts, full, crossed, V-shaped or
''surplice" bodies, high, full, leg-of-mut-
ton sleeves, and broad waist band of silk
orribbon. They are inexpensive but very
effective.
A fiutel brim is novelty in straw
bonnets. A black chip recently i'm
ported, of this description, was trimmed
with narrow black ribbon, velvet and
sowslips, the ribbon pinned on with small
gold pins.

By yesterday mornings Australian

ticulers of the Quota disaster, and the
narratives of the survivors. We subjoin
the principal points i'll the graphic state

most interesting figure in the events of
that calamitous night in Torres Straits.
Miss Lacy says she was sitting in the
saloon writing letter, the other ladies

grating sound, the ship rocked violently,
and chorus of confused noses broke

Miss Lacy rushed on deck, aud al
ready the ship was sinking. ''Going
aft, y she says, ''was like walking up
nill. The part to which 1 was making
my way was high above the water" But
hardly had she reached the aft part of
The vessel than it rapidly sank, aud in a
moment 200 human beings and large
number of sheep 'were all in the water
m a heap, the people struggling and

great difficulty managed to cxtricate
herself from the confused mass, and, be-
ng practical swimmer, succeeded in
getting clear of the whirlpool caused by
he sinking ship. She then relieved her.

At midnight she heard cry from q
distance, and swimming toward it, found

Miss Lacy determined to trust once more
20 her swimming powers, and in spite OF
The strong circumstances of the chief
officer she dived into the ocean and
struck out in the direction she had
marked out for herself But she had
grievously miscalculated the distance of
the island.
ALI the afternoon and far into tbs
night she was in the water without life,
oelt or support of any description, re-
ieving herself by swimming alternately
On Ter face, back and sides. She said
she felt no fear of The sharks that abound
IN these tropical waters, but the fearfuIly

under water to save herself from sun
stroke. She is under the impression that
for part of the time she was aGleep in

At length, after being for twenty -fom
hours altogether in Torres Straits, she
was picked upi in an almost exhausted
condition by boat belonging to the
search steamer Albatross. For some hours
after her timely rescue she was delirious,
and fancied herself living in submarine
hotel. No more signal proof of the
value of swimming as lads accomplish

DON'T DROWN YOUR HAIR,

Hairdressers say that women often
drown the life out of their hair by too
frequent washings. The following re-
cipe is taken from an exchange: The first
thing to do when the hair is unpinned is
to loosen it by lightly tossing it about
The operation need not tangle it, and as
the tresses are being aired they fall into
natural lengths. Instead of beginning at
the scalp the first combing should start
at the end of the hair In other words,
comb upwards to avoid tangling, break
ing and tearing the hair out. This rack
ing of the hair will remove considerable
dust. The scalp should be cleaned in
spots and sections, and fine-tooth comb
is indispensable. 1t is not necessary to
draw the comb down through the hair.
Dandruff can be removed by combing the
surface where it has accumulated, and by
slanting the fine comb it may be brought
from the scalp without having TO 90 the
whole length of the hair. The head
should be cleaned in spots. When the
dead skin has been loosened, thorough
brushing is all that is required to remove
it. By thorough l mean to spend full
hour, first brushing the head and then
the hair to free it from the scurf and err
ruptions of skin. Frequently this can be
accomplished by shaking out Or tanning
the hair, and subsequent brushing will
give the hair The glossy, silky finish fol
which so much pomade is used.-Ness

Early rising is synonymous in long
life histories with short sleeping, which
means rapid recovery from fatigue, a
sign of bodily strength. These scien-
tific facts in no wise contradict the al
legged value of carly rising as a prac-
tice TO be cultivated by all persons in
good health. 1t is excellent as moral
discipline, and eminently healthy as a
matter of fact Most persons viii eat
tn. ee meals daily. When man gets
up late those meals will probably fol
low each other at too short intervals to
be wholesome. When he is an early
riser it will probably he otherwise. He
can enjoy good breakfast, aud by the
time for his lunch or midday dinner
he will have an honest appetite again.

STORY OF A NECKLACE.

There is young woman in an Eastern
town who has worn about her white
throat, during the past season, a very
handsome diamond necklace set with
thirteen single stones of considerable
value. As the parents of the young
woman were not persons of wealth, the
ornament naturally was the subject OF
considerable speculation among her
women friends. Finally, one young
woman, more privileged or more auda-
Cious than the rest, remarked on the
beauty of the necklace, and asked how
she came to have it. With charming
frankness, she replied: ''0f course it is
a very valuable thing, but really its chief
value is in its associations. Every one of
these stones has separate and sweet
memory for me. You see, it's compo-
site, and it is made out of the engage
ment rings that have worn at different
times. There were thirteen of them, and
naturally l couldn't go on wearing them,
and, as didn't return them for fear of
wouniling the feelings of the men, | just
had them all set together in necklace.
And now l can wear them all at once
comfortably, and besides, you see how
handsome an ornament have. "-4rgoa-

Handling Inc Chinese Mail.

Many persons have asked the ques.
ton: "How is the Chinese mail
handled IN the Tostoffice :" 1t is a
quest m which has excited considera
BILE discussion at different times and
one which everybody should under.
stand. 1t is generally supp osed, how,
ever, that Chinese interpreter is EN-.
ployed III tn, postoffice expressly te
handle the Chinese mail But that is
not the case. the government never
having found it necessity to employ
such person.
When Chinaman wishes to send a
letter TO his native country, he must
employ the services of an interpreter,
unless he can write English hims elf
He writes, seals and directs the envel-
ore in his own language. He then
goes to Chinese interpreter, who
writes the address in English on an
other part Of the envelope. The letter
is then ready for the mail.
1t goes through the postollice, and
then takes a journey across the country
to San Francisco. A China-bound
steamer conveys it across the ocean to
Its destination, where, after gong
through the Chinese postofiice, it is de-
livered to the person to whom ad-
dressed.
The incoming mails ase handled very
much in the same way. An interpreter
in the Chinese postofice writes the adj
dress in English on all mails directed
to this country. When letter reaches
the postoflice, the clerks never pay any
attention to the name, and not one time
in ten thousand do they know whether
letter is for Chinaman or somebody
else. They look only for the street and
number. The mail is sorted, ard is
then delivered by the carrier. So
what seems very complicated process,
is indeed very nipple one, causing
no inconvenience whatever
