New Styles in Millinery.

Here are two sketches Of recently inn
ported Paris hats. The one with the tall
crown is made of velvet Of two shades
pink and green. The crown is pink, with
band of oriental embroidery round It,
and the lining of the brim is of the same
shade. The rest Of the hat Is green, and
on the left side are large bow, two orna-
mental gold pins and an ostrich feather.
Most of the new hats seen, by the bye, have
been of velvet or felt, or both, and lavishly
trimmed with feathers. The second hat is
distinctly novel as regards the arrange
ment of the feathers at the side. 1t is felt,
Of lovely shade of brown, with black
band of velvet round the crown, covered
with bead embroidery and long black feath-
ers.
Feathers are tremendously fashionable,
and these hats. sketched in profile, show
what will probably be the favorite manner
of wearing them. Among close fitting
straw hats is a variation on the Bolero,
with Tam O'Shanter crown Of velvet in
a contrasting color and quilts at the side.
Some Of the crowns are, to express it

NEW PATROL JACKET. It may be made
of any plain or diagonal cloth, but In this
instance the material was blue serge, to
match the wearer's dress. and the braid
trimmings black.
The Vatican plat, which disigures most
women, appears on some of the new jack
cts and mantles. Long round cloaks for
receptions fall in broad Vatican plat.
Coats for autumn are of three-quarter
length and have large sleeves. Mink, II
one may judge from the few models dis
played, will again be the fashionable FUR
this winter. 1t appears on some Of the
cloth coats, not only as trimming for the
collar and sleeves, but in the form Of q
deep border round the bottom. There Is q
tendency noted to the use Of two kinds Of
fur on one garment. Large directoire
revers of velvet are features Of some Of the
new coats.

October was the eighth month Of the SO
called year Of Romulus," but became the
tenth when according to tradition) Numa
changed the commencement of the year to
the LIST Of January. October preserved it's
ancient name, Notwithstanding the at
tempts made by the Roman senate and the
emperors Commod44 and Domitian, who
substituted for a time the terms Faustinus,
Invictus, Domirianus Many Roman and
Greek festivals fell to be celebrated in this
month, the most remarkable of which was
the sacrifice at Rome Of horse (Which was
called October) to the god Mars. The
name is from the Latin octo, eight. Among
the Saxons it was styled Wyn-monath, or
the wine month.

Story Of : Famou. ballad.

The famous ballad Of "Auld Robin
Gray" was written by Lady Anne Lind
say, daughter of the Earl Of Balcarres.
when she was twenty-one years old, but it
was not till fifty years later that she told
how she came to write 1t. Robin Gray
was shepherd on her fathers farm and
for something he had done she wished to
immortalize him. So she began this bal
lad, but before she finished it she asked
her little sister for her advice about it.
She said she was making ballad about
distress in humble life; she was bringing
sorrows upon her heroine's head; she had
sent her Jamie to sea. broken her fathers
arm, caused her mother to fall i'll and
given her auld Robin Gray for Q lover.
"But want to have fifth sorrow. Now
what shall doa" "Steal the COO. Annie, ("
was the little girls reply. And accordingly
Lady Anne completed the round Of Jea-
nie's troubles by having the COW stolen
away"

Latest styles in Lingerie.

The narrow tuckings appear on almost
everything and are great addition to the
many pretty frills now introduced on
niRhtgowns. The newest make in these Is
the wide cape frill with sash at the waist
formed of narrow ribbon carried through
straps. Some of these frillings are edged
with color which are hemstitch-d on to
the material. They mostly have frills at
the hem. The chemises have turned down
flaps, generally tucked and intermixed
with lace, which are intended to fall owe,

trimmed with deep flounces edged with

Some Interesting Facts About It's Early
History.

Some Interesting Facts About Its Early
History.
The wild strawberry is very widely
diffused over the surface Of the earth,
being found in the chill regions OF the
north, as well as In the sunny climes OF the
south. It is not a tropical plant. however,
and except on mountain sides is not found
south of latitude 38 dogs. north. On the
European continent it grows from Lapland
and the Shetland isles to Italy and Greece
It is also found throughout western Asia,
but is unknown in China and Japan. 1t
has grown abundantly on the bleak hills
Of Iceland for centuries. It Is found IN
America from Labrador and British
Columbia to the pine woods Of the south
ern states and on the highlands Of Mexico
and the Andes. The hardy plant, with its
tiny scarlet berry, may be said to girdle
the earth on the line of the polar circle,
and several hundred miles southwark, ex-
cept that it is not found in the basin of the
river AMOR, in Siberia.
Though history and story are alike silent
as to the cultivation Of the strawberry in
early times, we know that the fruit was
we'll known In England in the Fifteenth
century. Shakespeare has three illusions
to Strawberries In Henry v" the Bishop
of Ely, in illustration Of the good qualities
which the young king possessed, in spite
of his wild habits and Objectionable COM
panions, says:
The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
Neighbored by fruit Of baser quality.
The reference here is obviously to the wild
berry. But in the play of Richard III"
Strawberries are spoken of as growing in
the Bishop Of Ely's garden at Holborn,
and this seems to show that the berry
was cultivated with considerable care as
early as the latter part of the Fifteenth
century, though Haydn's Dictionary Of
Dates" asserts that the common straw
berry was brought to England from Elan
ders in 1880. 1t is curious to note that lou
years after the crafty Richard begged some
of the bishops strawberries we find de-
scription of garden at Holborn, the prop
erty of the rich barber surgeon, Gerard,
wherein four kinds of strawberries-a
great variety for the time-were success
fully cultivated. The third Shakespearean
allusion to this fruit is in reference to the
i'll fated handkerchief of Desdemona, which
was spotted with Strawberries"

werp. Its weight is at present 474 carats.
but 1t will lose no less than 274 carats be-
fore it is ready for the market. Even then,
however, it will be the second largest dia-
mond in the world. standing between the
$50 carats of the Persian diamond "Great
Mogul" and the 1877 40 carats of the Rus
sian "Orloff" brilliant. Roughly speak
ing, the Antwerp stone will be about the
size Of pigeon's egg. In its present state
it measures 2.741 inches by 1.767 inches.
Its polished surface will measure .7S8 inch
each way. Some idea Of the enormous ex-
pense of the transmutation of these costly
trifles from the natural to the commercial
state may be gathered from the fact that
the great English crown diamond-the
Koh-i-noor-which has only the compare
lively modest weight of l021S carats, cost
no less than 9S, 600 to cut and polish. The
polishing of very large diamond is very
slow process. and it will be long time be-
fore the actual value of the Antwerp stone
can be determined, as its luster and water
cannot be decided until it has left the pol
isher's hands.

GOODBYE HELLO" GIRL.
Electrician Stronger Has Device That Dis
poses ofthe Everlasting Telephone Nuisance.

NEW YORK. July 26.-Electrcian Strow.
ger believes he has discovered the secret of
doing away entirely with the hello" girls
in the telephone Offices. Yesterday his au-
tomato switchboard, which is intended
to supersede them, was tested in this city.
A temporary telephone exchange was con-
structed where private exhibition was
given. The automatic switch board does
not require q different telephone instru-
ment from those now In use. 1t
Is merely an automatic attachment
which does away with an operator
in the central Office to connect the wire
of one subscriber to that of another. The
switch board is in the central Office. On
the shelf of every telephone is q row of
keys, five IN number. They are marked
units, tens hundreds and thousands the
fifth key being the release key. This is
the way electrician .StrOwger's plan works:
The subscriber. wishing to place his tele-
phone in connection with that of another,
successfully presses the keys. If the man
at telephone 2SS wishes to place himself in
connection with telephone 315 he presses
the key marked hundreds three times, the
key marked tens once and the key marked
units five times. When the conversation
Is ended he presses the release key. This
disconnects the telephone.

ing hereditary insanity, and ex Explained why
it was that offspring sh ould inherit such
traits from the mother rather than the
father, the fGtus In utero being sustained
by the blood of the mother. Dr.. Sale then
gave his opinion that tho defendant was
insane, the opinion being based on q per-
sonal examination and interview with her
last Sunday. He was at first struck with
q lack of sympathy in the face He then
detailed an interview with Miss Mitchell,
touching the murder, her love for and her
intention to marry Freda. which material
ly agreed with those testified to BY Drs.
Sim and Turner. His opinion, based on
this interview. was that the defendant was
insane. As to her final cure. witness SAID
defendant might be made very useful per-
son In an asylum, but he believed she
would never be mentally sound.

first thing that impressed him was the
strong scientific presumption In the case
which was that Alice was of insane tem-
permanent inherited from her mother. With
such a subject a strong girlish attac hme c
for one of her own sex, formed about the
period of puberty, might develop into in.
tense, ardent attachment, such a passion
ate love as Is common only between those
of opposite sexes. Such unnatural attach.
ments were invariably more ardent and
passionate than natural attachments.
After the enforced separation from Freda
Miss Mitchell became shrewd and secreted
her fathers razor, possessed with the irn-
perative conception that she must Ia ke life
This conception held her will power in
abeyance and she was unable to control
her irresistible impulse TO kill DR.. Calen-
dar said that Ali ice told him ia was her in
tentl0n to kill Freda and then cut her own
throat. When asked why she did not kill
herself, she replied:
''Wby, Doctor, forgot all about IT."
Witness reiterated his opinion that she
Was insane, but indicated the treatment
under which sho might recover, saying he
considered her O fit subject for medical
treatment in or out of an asylum. Wit
ness said this was the first case of sexual
perversIon he had met with in his practice
He would say he considered Alice Mitchell

Dr. Campbell, superintendent of the In
