Children should early be- taught the
care of book. A very little child
can understand that book must not
be thrown on the floor, or torn. or
bent backward. or maltreated In the
fifty small ways In which children arc
permitted to abuse books. Such hab-
its in children are due quite as much
10 ignorance as carelessness on tho
part OF parents. Those who have no
interest or affection for books them
selves are not likely TO expect II from
their children. A reverence for
books is part OF the love one bears
them. and people who have been
brought up In an atmosphere Of books,
or who spend much time In reading or
study, will naturally handle a book
respectfully themselves, and insist
that their children shall do likewise.
There is much negligence shown in
the matter OF returning borrowed
books. and this often by persons OF
whom one would expect better things.
For months after book is read IL is

especial effort Is made 10 return Ii 10

WOMEN OF FASHION
Lizards, Spiders, Serpents and
HOLSTERS for Ornaments.
NEW BONNETS ARE CROWNLESS
Picturesque Flower Hats-Fl0wer Dresses and
Flower Trimmings-GOrgeous Jewels
Worn by the Langtry.

NEW YORK, April 16, 1S9l.-[Special cor
respondence of The HERALD. The fash
ionable woman of to-day does not permit
herself to be preiudiced in taste by the dis
agreeable experience which one of her fore
mothers had with a serpent long years ago.
Serpents have no terrors for her, even
though she has always been aware that be-
cause of one of them the whole race of
women came to grief. She knows that the
Egyptian Cleopatra is the rage-on the
stage and off. Things that the Egyptian
Cleopatra had ornaments which she wore
and styles which she affected, are the won
der and admiration of the world. Therefore,
so thinks the fashionable woman, it be-
hooves the lady of taste to cast aside pre-
JUDGES, throw squeamishness to the winds
and boldly clasp to her head, her heart, her
bosom and her waist the reptiles which the
Egyptian Cleopatra loved and cherished as
pets and ornaments.
Around the head Of the fashionable
woman of to-day serpent is coiled. She
calls the coil bonnet. The tail of the SER
pent is near what would be in Christian
hat the centre of the crown; then, around
itself, after the fashion of the Laodicor
| pictures, coils the serpent in half-a- dozer
glittering rounds. The head of the beast
forms an ornament which nestles dowr
costly among the front frizzes, curls ani
bangs Of the daring wearer.

have been invested in real estate docks,
and buildings on both sides of the ocean.
To protect these millions it is of course
necessary to secure patronage and to do
this they must make fast time. To day the
Cunard, the Inman, the Hamburg Ameri-
can Packet, the North German Lloyd, the
White Star and the Transatlantique are
rushing their ships across the Atlantic in
the great race to save time and only a day
or two ago the dispatches announced that
the Cunard line was about to build quar-
tette of ships that will make the trip from
New York to Queenstown in a little more
than five days. This is even better than
the Austin Corbin scheme drumming L, 900
ton, all-American steamships from Mon
tauk Point, Long Island, to Fiveford Haven
In five days and half.
Now Carl Schurz, who is president of
the Hamburg American Packet company,
knows as much about the great race among
the steamship companies as anyone on this
side of the Atlantic. This company is one
of the prominent competitors in the great
transatlantic carrying trade and claims
the distinction of having established the
q hundred millions of marks have been in
vested in this company's ships and the Co :
lumbia of this line holds to-day the recor d
for the fastest maiden trip. None know
better than Mr.. Schurz editor, diplomat,
orator, soldier, author and president of a
great steamship line, how rapid is the pro
gress in the art of ship building.

Listen to the description of just one more
hat. 1t was so pretty that the wearer clio

it through the park one bright spring day.
1t was of lace-black lace--trimmed with
pink heather and mignonette. Ribbon bows
and ends stood upright like blades Of grass.
The brim was lined with pink heather.

'And as to the danger of the speeding of
steamshipsl''
''There is just as much danger in run
ming at the rate of fifteen or eighteen knots
an hour as twenty knots: the fastest runs
yet made by our steamships are twenty
five knots an hour the possible speed of the

icebergs that have been floating in the path
Of the passenger steamers and OF the al
legged danger of fast running in connection
with them, but where ship is provided
with twin screws there is really little

New YORK, April Is, 1S9l.-[Special cor
respondence of THE HERALD. Men of mil
lions who control the railroads of this coun-
try and the big steamship lines have en-
tered in great race for fast time. The
one cry is how can we save time, and the
heads of the great corporations have taken
the fever from the public and the strongest
possible rivalry exists. While new lines of
transit with faster engines and more pala
tial cars arc being agitated and created in
rapid succession on land, the steamship
men have not been idle. The Improvement
in the transatlantic liner in ten years has
been very great and as the travel goes on
increasing new and faster ships are being
built. The amount of capital invested in
these great ocean transportation lines is
enormous. The first cost of one of the

sThe travel to Europe is constantly IN
creasing. Nowadays in the regular season
our ships are all crowded to their utmost
capacity. People have got more money to
spend, it would appear, and these trips
across the Atlantic are a good omen for the
prosperity of America. There are not only
more people going over, but there are more
that are taking the expensive. lines. The
public in this way Is giving great encour-
agement to companies that are spending
thousands and thousands of dollars in per
fecting their ships.
"But we have a treat in store for the
public in May" continued Mr.. Schurz.
THE Prince Bismarck, our new ship which
is now being fitted out across the Atlantlc,

next month. We expect she will eclipse
all previous records. The Emperor OF
Germany was shown over the Prince BIS

of our company in Germany and he eX-
pressed great delight with the vessel. Inc
Emperor spent an entire afternoon on the
ship, which is lying at the wharfs OF the
shipbuilding company Vulcan receiving
the last of her furnishings. The Prince

structed sofdly OF steel and teak wood, the
upper decks ending in strong turtle-b backs
at the bow and stern. One new ship will
have twin screws and its entire working
machinery will be duplicated. 1t Is not
necessary to say that the workmanship on
this latest addition TO our feet will be the

ton has been paid to the reversing gear,
which is extra rapid and noiseless in it's

be displayed on the Prince Bismarck will
surpass anything yet offered on any Allan

the ladies' boudoirs, music, smoking and

magnificent style. We are building our

Mr.. Schurz. ~ do not agree with those
who say there is greater danger in running
q ship at faster rate of speed than the
seven day or even the six day trip to the
other side of the Atlantic. l am of the
opinion that we will yet build ships that
can make the run to Liverpool in three
days. 1t is not at all improbable. And in
fact expect to see it before die if we
keep on improving at the rate we are going
now and am sixty years Of age at that
Twenty five or thirty years ago we would
have been ridiculed if we predicted that
ships could cross the Atlantic as they are
doing now in six days and fifteen hours.
Our statement would at least have been
thought very greatly exaggerated. And
ten or fifteen years from now | shouldn't
be surprised if steamships we're run across
the Atlantic in four days and, as the ratio
of advancement in ship building continues
in say twenty years from the present time
we might cross in three days"
'What will be the necessary require
ments for faster time, Mr.. Schurz?"
''Well, in the first place, If we have higher
speed we will need more powerful engines
and machinery and that will necessitate
larger vessels of course. Ships must be
run at profit. They are not being run for
amusement and fast time alone. We can
build ships that we can make the run across
to Europe in three or four days or say five
days, but they would not be able to carry

Violets are less worn now than during
Lent. Brighter flowers have come to take
their places. The hats are gayer, and SO
the corsage and muf bouquets must be at
tuned to the gayety of the head gear.
Blue is probably the most fashionable
and the most sought for color. To wear
with the blue costume and blue hats there
may be found lovely blue hyacinths. great
