White-Winged Black birds.

The white-winged blackbird consort-
ing with the red-winged seems to have
been observed by. too many persons to
permit an explanation on the mere
theory of albinoism, extensively as
that freak in "coloration" among birds
and animals is seen. A correspondent
of ours, who is good observer, makes
an important statement when he SAYS
the white-winged specimens are
smaller than the red-winged. That
circumstance would seem to Indicate
a different species. Possibly there is
an error. At any rate, we will give
the explanation of an observer who
has watched the phenomenon of the
white winged blackbird with some
persistence.
He says the white spot on the shoul-
ders or upper wing is due after all to
the curious effect of light reflected
from ruddy surface when the wing
is at certain angles. In other words,
it is a deception. He claims to have
followed this out and proved it. 1t
seems to be fact that the red place
on the blackbird's wing does change
its appearance decidedly in certain
aspects during night; but we do not
present this theory as a conclusive eX-
planation of the appearance. Hart

Footprints in the Sands Of Time.

Quarrymen operating in the Port
land sandstone quarries in the Con-
necticut valley recently blasted out a
block 1870 feet beneath the earth's sur
face, that was spotted with very in
teresting and curious marks. The
marks, according to scientific men,
are footprints of the Ansichnus dew
eyanus, which was very common in
the valley several million years ago,
the beast being combination croco-
die bird.
1t is the opinion of Prof. William
North Rice of Wesleyan university, to
whom the fossil Slab was sold for 800,
that at the time the deweyanus flour
ished there was no Connecticut river,
but in place of it bay that was fifteen
miles wide, extending from the sound
to the border of Massachusetts. In
that epoch, good many million years
since, this crocodile bird used to bathe
in the bay, then come out Of it, shake
himself and gambol awhile on the
plastic micacec us sand; then on the
top of the earth; and so he left his
mark on it. In time the sand became
solid. the world grew over it, and now
workmen toiling in the bowels of the
earth, l30 feet below its surface, come
on the playground Of the AnisichnuS
deweyanus; and a professor studyiN@
the tracks imprinted in the sandstone
is able 10 tell just what sort of a Great
ure strobe about in the COnnectlcG!
valley when time was II babe.

Another, made of pheasant brown cloth,
has petticoat of changeabie velvet
showing through the open skirt.
Rather more childlike is useful
winter gown of myrtle-green Venetian
cloth, made with a square yoke back
and front, bordered with gray fur, the
same fur being used for the collar and
cuffs. The hat worn with it is of
myrtle-green velvet, trimmed with vel
vet bows and fur.
A frock that enjoys the distinction
of having come straight from Paris is
of fawn- colored cloth, which opens in
front over waistcoat of fawn silk.
The cloth is heavily embroidered
with fawn-colored silk. A luxurious
little coat accompanies this frock. 1t
is long, and made of striped shot vel
vet, in very dark shades of blue and
| bronze.
Coats are elaborate in their way and
excusably SO. He is stern tailor in
deed who can withstand the tempta-
ton that exquisite cloths and furs put
in his way. No woman can resist
| them.
A useful little mantle of cinnamon
cloth is made with very full skirts and
a deep cape pleated on the shoulders
and edged with a narrow band of
chenille trimming headed by silk
ruche. The fullness is drawn into the
waist by a band of the same material
The sleeves are very full and are fin
ished with cuffs trimmed with chenille
and silk ruching to correspond. A hat
of cinnamon velvet. edged with chenille
and trimmed with shaded quills,is is worn
with it.
A warmlooking and becoming little
cloak of dark red lambs wool is ar
ranged with two capes and collar
and bordered with gray astrachan.
The hat is of red lambs wool, edged
with gray fur, and trimmed with gray
quill.

SAVED BY HONEST JOHN"
How an Army Captain Prevented the
Punishment of Sleepy Pickets.

One of the members of Maine reg
iment told a story of "Honest John
Wood" The incident occurred in
very cold weather and at an import
ant crisis. AT night time" said the
narrator, according to All exchange,
"when we pickets arrived at the out
posts, Capt. Wood said:
".It is too severe for the men to face
this storm all night
"There was a small house close by
and the captain directed that we
should build fire in it and shelter
ourselves as best we might. We did
so, and. weary with marching and
lulled by the warmth, we all fell fast
asleep. When the officer of the grand
rounds came our way he found reg
alar Sleepy Hollow. OF course we
were reported and in the morning we
were summoned to headquarters.
Naturally, we were terribly fright
ened, for sleeping on picket is serl-
Gus offense. We were ushered into
Gen. Wilson's tent. He sternly re-
peated the charge. Had we been
guilty of sleeping on our posts? We
had. 1t would have been useless TO
attempt any explanation, but Capt.
Wood, who was present, anticipated
any that we might have attempted.
"General,' he said, the blame does
not rest upon these men. | am re-
sponsible for all | gave them orders
to take shelter in that house and build
a fire there and | am to blame. They
would not have been asleep but for
me-
"'How long have you been in the
service, sir?" said the general, sternly.
GA few months, general.
al thought so. If you had been
here longer you would have come up
here full of excuses and ready to shift
the blame on anyone at hand. You
can go. Your honesty has saved
you"
Evidently the men were forgiven as
we'll as their officer, for the narrator
of the story subsequently became a
| lieutenant.

Two rather pretty dresses for a girl
of ii are shown at popular shop. One
is of tan cloth with plaid shaded plush
upper sleeves, yoke, and sash. The
bodice is full; the yoke edged with
sab and a narrow band of EN- broidery.
The gathered skirt is sewn onto the
bodice. The other gown is different in
character. 1t is made of dove-colored
cloth, the skirt plain, the waist ar
ranged in a triple corslet effect. The
guimpe and sleeves are in plaid velvet.
Mink fur edges the skirt Both frocks
would, however be looked at askance
by d wise mother who desired to avoid
overdressing her daughter.
A Russian coat of pale gray cloth
edged throughout with gray astrachan
and trimmed with gray braid is etfec-
tive. 1t fastens over on one side with
buttons and buttonholes, and is ar
ranged with a waistband edged with
fur and trimmed with braid to cor
respond. The sleeves are particularly
pretty, the upper ones being cut up at
the back Of the arm to simulate a kind
OF cape. A hat of gray astrachan with
band Of gray cloth goes with it.
A mantle of pale fawn cloth, trimmed
with embroidery in gold brown and
white silk, is delicately pretty. 1t is
made with long pointed collar both
back and front, and ID very pretty
pleated shoulder cape. The double
sleeves are very full and are daintily
embroidered to correspond with the
rest of the mantle. The hat is of dark
brown velvet with a soft crown and
bow of velvet having fawn quill
thrust through it.
Feather trimming is sometimes sub
stituted for the fur. A fawn-colored
cloak, made with a pointed cape, is
edged with it. The upper sleeves are
full and brown cord girdle confines
the garment at the waist.
For very small girls there are some
dainty wraps, which, although they
may not be altogether practical, are

certainly good TO see. "A e-year-old
would look we'll in long coat of pink
Bengaline, with yoke and cuffs covered
with guipure lace, and a narrow band
of otter edging it wherever edging is
possible. A scarf Of Bengaline passes
from the armholes and is tied in front.
A hat with bent brim, in otter
colored velvet, relieved with a pink
velvet Tam O'Shanter crown, and
trimmed with ostrich tips and a
buckle, completes this picturesque cos
tune.
A coat of cream -coiored cloth edged
with otter is suited to child of 2 or 3.
The full skirt is fastened to a short
bodice. The deep pleated collar forms
a yoke back and front; the sleeves are
arranged with putfs on the shoulders
and deep cuffs The proper hat to wear
with this coat is, of course, white beaver,
trimmed with ribbon and white ostrich
feathers
