Spring BonnetS.

Hats and bonnets for the spring are
things of beauty. OF course there are
a few startling and "outre' things for
those who demand them; but conserva-
tive women Of quiet and refined taste
can all be suited. There is the small
turban Of fancy straw trimmed with
velvet folds, which some women like
so much for shopping and travelling;
and close little capotes Of fancy straws
and chip. Strings are the color of the
trimming, and full two inches wide.
All kinds of buds and berries are more
used than flowers. Hats have wide
brims and low crowns, are bent and
pinched into many shapes, and trimmed
in front, at the side, or back, as is most
becoming. The severe, but to some
faces most coquetish, Empire poke
comes in fine, colored chip, and is
trimmed with velvet ribbon in severe
lines, and erect ostrich feathers. From

JOURNALISM IN JAPAN.

Fines Paid ii Advancc-No Woman Al
lowed to Edit Paper.
Journalism in Japan appears to be
surrounded by some stern. restrictions.
the desirability of abolishing or amend
ing which has lately been occupying the
attention of the japanese parliament.
In Europe, according to the London
Standard, when newspapers offend
against the law, fines are inflicted on
the editor, writer, printer, or publisher,
rs the ease may be: but in Japan it ap-
pears that the journalists begin by pay
ing fine, though the amount NAV DOS
sibly be returned to them IN course of
time-for that is the practical result of
depositing sums of money with the au-
thorities, varying from three hundred
and fifty to one thousand ven yearly. as
evidence of good faith. If fines are in
flicted, at any rate of less than the
amount of the deposit, there can be no
question of non-payment.
A motion was made to abolish this de-
post, as also the power of the govern
ment to suspend a paper which pub
hshed anything calculated to disturb
the public peace but the right OF sus-
pension was retained by eighty-one
votes to forty-eight; and as to the de-
STABILITY of demanding the security,
the house was unanimous. 1t was cx-
planned that the house felt the necessity
of keeping some check on ''irresponsi-
bic agitatorS unfit to WELD journalistic
influence and there is good deal to
to said for the contention. .Women's
rights" advocates will be extremely Of
Tended at one amendment which was
accepted. No woman is allowed to be-
come an editor on publisher in Japan.
Whether women are permitted to write
for publications does not appear. bat it
is decided that the work of editing or
publishing is neither desirable or be-
coming for females. If ladies are rot
to be allowed to describe dresses and
criticise the fashions. who is to under
take that grave responsibility? 1t is
clear, however, that If ladies NAV do
this their work must always be edited
by male hand; and when that hand
belongs to the father of a family, with
stern views Of economy and lacl. of
artistic perception. there is no saying
what ideas may not be promulgated.

A Deceptive Name.

A Philadelphia and his wife were

tiny post village of Mount Pleasant,
on the Delaware railroad. and Is they
gazed over fat country, whose differ
ences of level are scarcely perccptible
save by the aid OF a surveyors instrr-
mcnt. a native asked them what they
were looking for. Then the PhiladeI-
phian explained that the name OF the
place had called up such visions Of a.
airy emiaence that he and his wife had
come down TO spend their vacation
They learned from the native that
summer board was not o5teiuable
there, and he obligingly explained
that the place received its deceptive
name in eoclmernoration OF the fact
that il was situated on the watershed
between Delaware and Chesapeake
bays. the backbone Of the peninsula

In the mercury mines of Al,naden.
Spain, the quality of the mercury i'm
proves and the quantity increases the
farther the distance traversed. In the
deepest gallery the mercury seems to
run from the rocks as resin from the
trees. On being taken from the pits
the ore is smelted 10 vast furnaces.
Distillation is effected through a long
and complete series of tubes, formed of
thick jars, with a long narrow neck,
fitting into each other. In the lower
portion OF these jars there exists kind
of small reservoir, where the drops of
mercury produced by the evaporation
of the metal in stata of fusion are
condensed. These drops are then col
lected, and, with the aid of small pipes,
stored in large iron barrels. A strong
and penetrating odor, which irritHtes
the eyes and nostrils, escapes from the
jars and barrels

Singular SnuH Boxes,

The British museum contains many
rare and beautiful snuff boxes of the
last century, plain and enamcled, made
of papier mache, horn, silver, and gold,
simple and complicated, ANAL and
large. Curious materials were some
times used in the manufacture of these
boxes. Some sixty years ago potato
snuff boxes were in common use. They
were made of potato pulp, which, mixed
with some glutinous material, was
pressed into molds, dried, vanished
and slightly fired. The best quality Of
potato boxes was made at Brunswick,
and hence they were sometimes known
as Brunswick boxes.

hoping to prove that they could smell,
but the results are all negative. They
dislike putrid meat but they bite it TO

these species until they had tested them

that they cannot see it. This test have
applied with the utmost care to the
