NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.


The most stylish of the universally
popular capcs has an Elizabethan COLI ar
with fur on both sides SO that it can be
turned up or down.
Among the new French color combi-
nations are pale blue and heliotrope,
maroon and sea green, and browns with
green's of various shades
The latest thing in street garments il
a natty, taut, ti9ht-fitting coat of
medium length. With this is worn a
fur fichu, neck-scarf, tippet or stole
shaped collarette.
Among the most elegant costumes for
spring are those of Russian vclours, and
plain, smooth-faced clothes are to be
much used both for house and street
costumes
1t is declared by those who are in a

the crinoline to the fore, and not those
who usually set fashion PAGES.
Not only economical but picturesque
are the now fashionable bodices quite
different from the skirt which enables
one to use the "short-length" patterns
which are found on the bargain
counters
Plain French cashmere is a favorite
material for house gowns, which are
made with simple round waist with
immense silk bretelles that cover the
shoulders and graduate to a sharp point
at the belt
As effective as fashionable is the waist
of tartan silk that tones well with the
dress skirt The tartan is cut on the
cross. In the front is a yoke and in the
back the folds reach from shoulder TO

the bias.
This is the way a skillful modiste
changed and freshened handsome
black silk: A vest and panel together
with collar and cuffs of cream white
ottoman silk striped with fine cut jet
was introduced, and when the whole
costume was sponged and pressed it
was transformed past ali recognition.

gowns are being made of transparent or

TASTE IN ANIMALS.
The Kinds Of Food Preferred by Dineren
Animals and insects.

| the Kinds Of Food Preferred by Difference
Animals and Insects.
Many experiments have been made i'm
order to find out what and where the
organ of taste is in the lower creations;
but it is easier to say where It is not
Crayfsh and worms seem to have very de-
| cided preferences in the matter of food,
though no special taste organ has yet
been found. HOLSTERS like decaying
| food; the crab is more dainty in its diet
Snails and slugs show a decided prefer
ence for certain kinds of food, as gar
den lovers know to their cost; peas and
cabbages, dahlias and sunfowers, arc
great favorites; but they will not touch
the white mustard. Some prefer ami
NAL food, especially if rather high.
Spiders have only q slight sense of
taste; flies soaked in paraffine seem
quite palatable to them; though one
species, the diadema, is somewhat more
particular, and refuses to touch alcohol
in any form whatever.
The antennp of insects do not appear
to contain any organ of taste, for waspA
and ants quite readily took into their
mouths poisonous and unpleasant food,
even swallowing enough to make Them
| selves i'll, while some bees and cock
reaches fell prey to the temptation Of
alum, Epson salts and other nauseous
foods placed in their way. These sub
stances were not, however, swallowed,
but were soon spat out, the creatures
| spluttering angrily, as If Disguised with
the taste. The proboscis of the fly and
| the tongue of bees and ants are fur
| nishcd with numerous delicate hairs
set in minute pits; these are perhaps
| connected with the organ of taste; but,
! though the exact locality of this sense
in insects is uncertain, we know that
| groups of cells in the tongue of animals,
called taste bulbs, form, in part, the
ends of the organ of taste. These vary
in number, increasing in the higher
animals; they are very close and ex-
ceedingly numerous in man, while the
I tongue of even the COW has some thirty
five thousand taste bulbs. 1t would be
interesting to know, but | have never
seen the question discussed, whether
each special taste eXcites special
| group of nerves, and that only-thus
corresponding to the auditory nerves.
These taste bulbs were discovered in
! 1867. Each one consists of two kinds
of cells one set forming an outer pro-
tective covering through an opening in
which project from five to ten of the
true taste cells. Though important.
they are not apparently an essential
part of the organ, for birds and reptiles
have none, butneither have they a keen
sense of taste-except, perhaps, the

nearly blind was once found to be con-
tentedly swallowing u blanket for dim
ner, instead of a rabbit, which was also
within reach, and it was only with
great difficulty that she was forced to
disgorge this singular article of food.
A snakes tongue is, therefore, not an
organ of taste, nor is it, as many think,
a sting; it is more probably, delicate
organ of touch Cham bers' Journal

BRINGING ON A WAGER.


Thirst for Liquor.
In a Washington grocery, on a recent
Sunday morning, white man, a driver
of a milk wagon, had with him gallon
of whisky which had been given him as
present. The driver of the milk
wagon furnished gallon of milk, and
n bowl of eggnog was made. Among
those present who partooll of the drink
was colored man. After drinking
freely for time, there began wager,
twenty-five cents a side, that the col
ored man could not drink another glass
of eggnog. The betting was kept up,
and the colored man continued to drink,
with goblet holding about half pint.
Finally, he said he could drink a dozen
more glasses, and had drank four, when
suddenly he toppled over in drunken
stupor. lie was laid out in the cellar
to sober up, and when found later by
his wife, who had instituted search
for him, he was beyond the reach of
medical assistance, and died soon after
The. physician summoned in the case
said that there was no doubt that alco-
hol caused his death. The excessive
drinking of the milk alone might have
made him temporarily sick, but the al
cohol ingredient made the sickness ia
tai, and in effect suicide Such reck-
less and perilous drinking on a wager
should be made a criminal offense on
the part of all who engage in it.-Na-
tional Temperance Advocate.

VENOM, NOT POISON.
A Physician Takes Exception to "a Regu-
lar Error in TerminoIogy.


A physician while talking with a
group of friends remarked: at is com
mon to hear people speak about poison
Gus serpents. Serpents are never pois-
onous; they are venomous A poison
cannot be taken internally without bad
effects a venom can. Venoms to be
effective, have to be injected directly
into the circulation, and this is the
manner in which the snakes kill. Their
venom, taken internally, is innocuous.
Another popular error is the suppo-
sition that snake bites Probably no
creature in the world provided with
teeth and jaws has so little power of
biting The jaws are not hinged, but
are attached one to tie other by carti-
lage. Thus a snake can have no lever
gre in opposing one jaw to the other,
nd could not in this manner pierce the
skin. The fangs are driven into the
flesh BY a stroke and not by bite. A
snake is harmless unless in coil From
its coil it throws it's head and body for
ward, and strikes or hooks its fangs
into the object aimed at The entire
work is done with the upper jaw, the
lower jaw having nothing at all to do
with it. A man striking a boat hook
into pier furnishes an example of the
way in which a snake strikes. Biting
is physical impossibility. N. o.

Massachusetts Divine.
Bishop Phillips Brooks found teach
ing school in his early manhood one of
his most irksome experiences The boys
sometimes made fun of their colossal
and serious-minded instructor. Ore who
had the good fortune to be pupil in
the Boston Latin school when Phillips
Brooks, at the age of %, was instructor
there, recalls this incident: lust up
above the school on Bedford street was
a tinshop and every now and then
there would be barrels of refuse tin
placed on the sidewalk. One morning
there We're some of these barrels of tin
out there, and | don't remember who
started it, but every boy in Brooks
room got strip of tin and made pair
of eyeglasses When the bell rang we
all took Our seats. Mr.. Brooks came
in and said Good morning, and then
put on his own eyeglasses to read the
usual chapter in the New Testament
When he looked over his class he found
every boy sitting bolt upright staring
at him through pair of tin eyeglasses
L
since come to the conclusion that he
was hurt at our making fun of his own
intirmity, although | don't believe a
single boy intended to do that He
stopped the devotional exercises and
told us all to bring those eyeglasses
up and deposit them in the waste
basket That receptacle had been
ell
us to put them into the tall
silk hat which he had placed on
the end Of his desk. 1t didn't take
many of the tins to fiji the hat to over
flowing, and then one of the boys under
took to press the mass down. He did
so, and pressed the top of the hat right
out, and of course spilled the tin all
over the floor. The boy who did this
injury to the hat was profuse in his
apologies and offered to buy new one,
but that was not to be allowed"
