Easter Dresses and Hats.

A clever modiste just returned from
Paris shows many novelties from the ate
liers of Worth, Rouff Felix and Doucet
For Easter dresses to be worn both in the
house and street are vigognes and serges
in the new Russian red or medieval blue
shades, made with blouse waist of ecru
batiste or of black surah, to be completed
for the street by a sleeveless jacket of the
wool goods. A dress of the rich Russian
red vigogne, which is to be worn all sum-
mer, has a blouse waist of ecru linen
batiste tucked lengthwise, fastened invisi-
bly, on the left. and trimmed with white
mot ecru) guipure insertion edged each
side with narrow gimp Of black silk cord
loops. Red vigogne sleeves are sewed into
this waist, and bell skirt of the vigogne
bordered with black moss trimming COM
pletes the house dress.
a recent importation of French hats for
wearing with Easter gowns has most
varied shapes, from huge pokes to trim
little turbans scarcely an inch high.
Tiny bonnets for most dressy wear have
a sort of brim of black chip with crown
and little dropping cape of white point de
gene lace. A wreath of green roses is set
around the crown, and there are strings of
green MORE ribbon.
Small jet turbans to wear with any dress
are quite round and very low, with slight
drapery of lace around the crown, then
forming high lace aigrette, which may
be tied by colored or black ribbons.
Stylish close walking hats of ecru and
bronze rough straws, with the brim rolled
up on the sides and back, have large folds
and side loops of ribbon just left of the
front holding two notified quilts Great
sail-like bows of white MORE ribbon hold a

SIN ATTEST Evening Shoes.

Evening shoes almost invariably match
the gown, and are often made of the same
material. For black and white gowns,
black shoes are worn, with paste orna-
ments. The newest ornament is in the
form of small diamond shaped buckle,
and has scrap of satin passed through it
TO give touch of color In pale blue it
suggests an opal surrounded by brilliants.
The fine gold network may be seen as toe
cap and heel of many a shoe, sometimes
over one color, such as blue or pink, while
the rest is of plain black or white satin.
These are the very smartest shoes. Some
are of guipure, displaying the dainty stock
ing, and others are of suede. Black patent
leather shoes have often crimson velvet
bows, or two loops and paste stud. Many
of the cozy bedroom slippers are of a pale
blue or bright red leather, with plush

How Glaciers Are Form ed .

The joint cause of glaciers is precipita-

can do nothing without moisture, and this
fact quickly disposes of the popular notion
that glaciers invariably exi st in cold coun-

of North America, are destitute of ice

to reign supreme in these parts. Imagine

Carlyle as a Husband.

On the much discussed subject of Car

the following letter which his wife wrote
TO a friend soon after the death of her
mother:

given me little present. he who never at

who dislikes nothing in the world so much
as going into shop to buy anything, even
his own trousers and coats; so that, to the

ally risked himself in jewelers. shop, and
brought me very nice smelling bottlel
cannot tell you how wac his little gift
made me, as well as glad; it was the first
thing of the kind he ever gave me in his
life. In great matters he is always kind
and considerable; but these little attentions,
which we women attach so much impor-
tance TO, he was never in the habit of rem
dering to any one; his upbTinging, and the
severe turn Of mind he has from nature,
had alike indisposed him toward them.
And now the desire To replace to me the ir-
replaceabie makes him as good in little
things as he used to be in great"

Train Oil for Calming Waves.

Herr Josef Grossman, an Austrian me
chanical engineer OF some note, has been
addressing a scientific audience in Vienna
upon the question of calming the ocean
waves in storms by oil. The frequent fail
ures that have been experienced in this di-
rection Herr GrosSman ascribes to too
indiscriminate use of oils. Purified petrc-
leum, and in general mineral oils, he says,
are quite unsuitable for the purpose, even
when poured by caskfuls into the sea

Traditions Connecting Them with Geo.
Friday, Easter. Ascension Day, Etc.
A wreath OF superstitious fancies hae
been woven about that article of prime DC
mestic importance the egg. Most OF thes
old beliefs have become merely matters o.
curiosity to the folk lorist, but If IS said
that small remnant still survives In quiet
haunts far frem the madding crowd.
This does not seem particularly incredible
when we consider that the matter OF 'thir-
teen at table, and splitting the SALT CON
tinue to be rather sore points with few,
even among the enlightened.
A superstition common 10 many parts is
that eggs laid on Good Friday never get
stale: occasionally one Of these is preserved
with the idea that ii secures the well doing
of the poultry. The eggs of Maundy Thurs
day CWitten DoDderdag) protect house
against thunder and lightning; those of
Whit Sunday, if cast upon fire, will
effectually hinder il from doing any mis-
chief.
ITO hang an egg laid on Ascension day in
Che roof of house." says Reginald Scot in
1854, "pr6serveth the same from all hurts. :"
Probably this was written with an eye to
the hurts arising from wiuchcraft, in
connection with which eggs were supposed
TO possess certain mysterious powers. For
instance, if you went TO church in Den
mark on Maundy Thursday and had in
your pocket, without knowing it, pullet's
egg IA difficult condition, methinks) you
could distinguish which of the women
present were witches by their appearing to
you to carry sleeves or milk pals on their
heads.
In North Germany, if you have a desire
to see the ladies of the broomstick on May
Day-their festival-you must take an egg
laid on Maundy Thursday and stand where
four roads meet or else you must go into
church on Good Friday, but come out be-
fore the blessing.
1t was formerly quite an article of do
mestic belief that the shells must be broken
after eating eggs, lest the witches should
sail out to sea in them; or, as Sir Thomas
Browne declared, lest they should draw
or prick their names therein and vene1i-
ciously mischief" the person who had par
taken of the egg. North Germans, ignor-
ing this side of the question, say, Break
the shells or yeu will get the ague," and
Netherlanders advise you to secure your
self against the attacks of this disa2reeable
visitor by eating on Easter day couple of
eggs which were laid OH Good Friday.
Scotch fishers, who may be reckoned
among the most supeEstitious of folks, be-
lieve that contrary winds and much conse-
quent veXation of spirit will be the result
of having eggs on board with them, while
in the west of England 1T is considered very
unlucky to bring birds eggs into the
house, although they may be hung up with
immunity outside

A Word About Cloves

There are antelope driving gloves in the
natural rich tan hue, very velvety to the
touch, and very strong in the wear. Russia
leather gloves are now imported IN black,
as well as in tan and gray colors. The de-
lightful perfume remains to the last. The
wear of kid and suede is tolerably even
now for both day and evening, in the day

and for evening entertainments, ten to
twelve button length Mousquetaire Pale
canary and suede have divided the honors
with shades of fawn and ficelle. while deli
cate silver gray and mauve have been well
worn with black evening gowns. A new
color called field mouse and made striking
with black stitching furnishes novelty in
gloves for dressy occasions.

Marie Antoinette Fichus. Beads. Etc.

The days of Marie Antoinette are to be
wildly recalled to us. Once more we are
to wear the pretty fichus, which owe their
name to that unfortunate sovereign, and
the new ones are made in chiffon, with
frillings embroidered at the edges These
and other modes make great demand for
lace, and one of the newest kinds is a simu-
lation of tatting.
This season will be one in which tiny
beads will have more than their usual
prominence, and they are applied to all
kinds of trimmings. Belts are to be worn,
especially red leather ones. High collars
are the mode. They are made in gauzes
and other materials.
Gauze is also being applied to the wide
scarfs, fringed at the edges, and made in
a variety of pretty colorings and combina-
lions of color, striped and spotted. The
same will be also used for sashes
Sequins in every color, including bright
and brilliant heliotrope, form the center of
many of the tiny gallons, placed close to-
gether and overlapping.

able that in some past geological age, when
the country was submerged under water
and the Ignite beds were being formed,
branches of trees floating in the water were
deposited in such a position that the car
Donate of lime which was dissolved in the
water penetrated into their substance, SO
that, as the woody substance decayed, it
was replaced by carbonate of lime, more or
less perfectly crystallized. The peculiar
odor of the truffitte is supposed to be due
to the decomposing animal or vegetable
matter contained in the water at this time.
Although it is very pronounced when the
crystals are first crushed, the odor soon
evaporates.
In Fig. l, A is crystallized layer in a
