throat to shoulder with pale apple-grcen
floselle. Thence to the waist. it Is full but
green twilled ribbon, the bow and ends at
the side. A wide hat Of delicate green
willow trimmed with large pink carnations
of the delicious malmaison tint, and scented
artifcially "a Parison novelty, completes q
dainty and youthful attire.
A tightly fitting bodice of light fawn
satin merveilleux fastened invisibly under
the arm and covered with rich black
guipure lace has good effect. The sleeves
ore of satin only, very large to the elbow
and ending with frill; below they are
covered with the guipure. The hat to cor
respond is Of nutmeg Panama straw, q
large bunch of green grasses knotted in the
front and the feathery lronds standing fully
six inches high. The crown is covered with
poppies of the true wild color, intermixed
with little piece-velvet of the same vivid
tint, and the brim is raised beb with
velvet loops.
The China Silks Are Popular.
China silks with pompadour, or Nankin-
China blue patterns, will be much worn.
The trimmings should match the prevalent
tone Of the pattern, not the ground color.
An exquisite tea gown for special occasions
can be produced by careful blending of
pale "Blue Martin" satin and grayish
oyster-colored crane. The easy-itting
fronts are in draped satin, ending at the
foot with narrow dull-gold passementerie
and soft satin ruche below. The sides and
back form tightly-ftting princesse robe

Vatican springs from the neck and spreads

should be tight to the arm below the elbow.

with diamond pins. Shoes of gray Russia

Partly because flowers and ferns look
seasonable as millinery ornaments, and
partly on account of the society for the pro-
lection of our feathered friends, in which
the Duchess of Portland takes so active an
interest, birds and wings and real butter
flies have ceased to adorn our hats, though,
with a strange anomaly and contradiction,
scarabei are used very much for earrings

not extend to them the poetic justice shown

THE LATE EMPEROR FREDERICK.

While Crown Prince He Delighted In II
Illustrating Bismarck's Great Influence.
One of the stories which the late Chief
Burgomaster of Berlin, Forkenbeck, used
to tell was of the late Emperor Frederick,
who, while Crown Prince, liked to illustrate
Bismarck's great. influence with the old
Kaiser.
"Yes, gentlemen" the Crown Prince
would say, "ff Bismarck were to propose to
nv father an alliance with Garibaldi-nay,
said he, pausing, "that is not an extreme
enough case, for Garibaldi is at least q
General-if Bismarck we're to propose to
him an alliance with Mazzini, what would
happen? At first nv father would march
up and down the room, exclaiming. Bis
marck, Bismarck! what do you mean to
make me?' Then he would stand still in
the middle Of the room and say: well, If
you are firmly convinced that this thing is
Indispensable to the interests Of the State,

A BARNYARD CURIOSITY.
A Farmer and His One-Lessed Hen Creat

A Farmer ana HIS One-LegSed Hen Create
Sensation among Old Women.
A prosperous farmer in Lone Tree Valley
has hen that has set the tongues Of all the
old women gossips wagging. 1t is q COM
mon barnyard hen, but it has, nevertheless,
created sensation. Some months ago q
mule stepped on the hens leg and broke it
The farmer was in the barn at the time and
heard the hen squawk, and, upon examina-
tion, found the mule standing upon its leg
He took his knife, cut the broken leg of
and turned her loose, and in due time she
recovered and was the liveliest kind Of q
one-legged hen.
After this accident, however, the hen
would not 60 near the barn and in fact had
habit of wandering off by herself Some
time ago it was discovered that she had a
nest full of eggs in fence corner, and was
sitting on them. The eggs were cofee-col-
ored and mottled, looking good deal like
turkey eggs except that they were small,
Last week seven of the eggs Matched and
they were the funniest looking chickens
that were ever hatched; instead Of with
feathers they were covered with q woolly
covering that resembled fur, q sort of cross
between feathers and hair. -Four of the lit
tie chickens had wattles that stood straight
up from the ears above the head, giving
them very mulish look. All the women
are sure that IT is case of marked chicken.
The San Jose Mercury is credited with this
story

JAPANESE IN AMERICA.
They Have q Strong Desire to r eceive Their
Education In This Country.

They Have Strong Desire to Receive Their
Education In This Country.
There is strong desire on the part Of
young Japanese to come to the United
States to acquire or perfect themselves in
the English language and complete their
education, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
The welcome given to earlier stude nts has
led many who have entirely insufficient
means to undertake the journey-come, in
deed, with scarcely more than enough to
pay their passage to this country.
Others, better provided for, have no Idea
of the increased cost of living here, while
many hope to receive aid from persons who
may become interested in them here, or to
find some employment while they are carry
ing ON their studies.
The practical results are not always
fortunate, and many of the students referred
to would be better off at home. The repu-
tation of having been educated in Europe
or America has certain value at present
in Japan, however, and the Japanese
students are, almost without a single excep-
tion, credit to their native country.

The lore of functions is for the moment

called "bou VOYAGE cards, being issued

favors and much decoration. More often
they are impromptu affairs or certainly
much less conventional ones, with OCCASION

that the "steamer letter" in the hands of
