Rw the plain black velvet belt which
confined it. Here it was cut up over
the hips. The broad green collar, fall
ing over the crepe at the back, was
also cut into divisions The portion
that fell over the pretty gauze sleeve
puffs was divided off like the skirt with
the velvet bands.
More varieties in the delicate crepe
cloths have reached us. These show
the stripes much finer and closer. A
green that is both serviceable and
dainty is in dull, dark shade, of
light texture, and has a minute. close
satin stripe running through over its
crinkled surface; dull blue has heavy
twisted cords IN pink and white,
forming the stripe: gray is dotted
with big spots of green; rich golden
brown is both pointille and striped
with blue; while thin silk crepon
forms itself into small square Fuckers,
and is all of the one clear Havana tint.
While it is yet too early TO think of
the spring jacket, one makes a neat
little cape to hang over the dropping
sleeves. The sleeve Of the winter
jacket has its puff too high to accom-
modate the dropping imitation of the
latest sleeve, and therefore the cape
is more acceptable. The coat sleeve.

Aye, the oversl1irt. Is it making any

stride by the tasteful form in which it

woefully retarded by the lack of any,

Practical Suggestions for Early

An Overskirt That L. Becoming
"A New Cape or Two.


tCOPYkrSAT, 1884
Fashions wheel turned gayly when
The light, airy, impractical spring
materials were on top, but now it rolls
more slowly to show the quieter, more
sensible ones that are just beginning
TO show themselves. Here come. first,
the lovely pale suitings IN silk and
vool-no stripes-just a clear, pale
ground, quantity and closely dotted
with indefinable figures and lines. In
bome, the dots suggest foreign color,
which must be brought out in the trim
ming. For instance, a fawn that sug-
rests pink has dottings of both these
shades, lightly interspersed with a
Relicate bit of blue here and there.
The French suitings have clearer and
stronger dashes Of silk over; they are
particularly serviceable in the clear
browns and olives Scotch suitings are
heavier, and make excellent gowns for
both spring and early summer. These
show a mot tied surface, with dull blue
spots merging into white; gray green
into pinky white; darker green into
paler shades.
These suit1ngs are made into plain,
full skirts that clear the ground well,
and are four yards wide. The jackets
are shorter than those Of last year, and
all show vest or waistcoat beneath.
They are made up severely plain, with
even the pretty lace effect at the throat

fall well over the sleeves, which show
some moderation of the preposterously
large puff we have been wearing.
In fact. from present indications, It.
would seem that the cry of ''modera-
tion, moderation" will at last be heed
ed, and that we shall do little moro
this spring than tone down some Of
our most alarming whims and extrava-
gances. The blouse. as it has come to

WHARF AND WAVE.

DIAMOND HEAD, April 2, 10
P. Weather cloudy wind light,
east.
The Victoria Daily Colonist says:
Though the Arawa was chartered
for six months only, it is not up-
likely that her engagement will be
extended, as the Miowera's repairs
and alterations cannot possibly be
effected in the three months re-
naming of the charter time, and it
is to be expected that the Warri-
moo also will be subjected to the
same alterations when her sister
ship takes up the old service. 1t is
possible, however, that faster boat
than the Arawa may be secured.
Mail advices received confirm the
report that the Canadian-Aus-
tralian line have ordered the con-
struction of third steamer, to run
III knots and be specially adapted
for the inter-colonial trade.
The Sydney Herald of late date
says: The navy estimates have
been increased by 100000, as
part of a five years programme for
Increasing the strength and effic-
iency of the navy. The estimates
make provision for 1000 additional
seamen. Seven new warships are
to be built on the lines of III. NJ. S.
Majestic, having speed of eighteen
knots. Six new cruisers of the
type of H. NJ. S. Talbot are to be
constructed, with a speed of nine
teen knots, and there are to be two
new sloops-of-war in addition
to those already being built.
The Golden Shore and Lyman
D. Foster arrived from Newcastle
yesterday, coal-laden. The Golden
Shore brought 1143 tons and the
Foster brought 1913 tons. The
voyages of both vessels were un-
eventful.
F. H. Miller attempted to leave
town on the Arawa without pass
port. He was brought back in the
pilots boat by Officer Patterson.
Five island steamers will depart
during the afternoon. The Mika.
hala will take passengers for Ma

HOW TO CATCH WHALES.
Great Danger Is Attached to the
Present system.

Regular whale-boats are twenty
eight to twenty-nine feet long, with
cut in the bow through which the
lire passes, and in the stern post
over which the line may be
checked if it is running out too
fast. The officer sits in the stern,
from where the line, which is coiled
in tub, is managed. The oars are
called |leading," tub" mid
ships" "bow," and "harpooner"
("harpooneer" they pronounce it).
When boat 'goes on" the har-
pooner draws in his oar and pre-
pares to "strike.'' He doesn't
always succeed.
When the whale is struck the
harpooner shifts with the officer.
This explains why he is often
called the boat-steerer. The criti-
cal moment has arrived. The
whale once fast, the future is mar
rowed down to dead whale or
stove boat" Therefore, the killing
of the whale is in the hands of the
officer. He must judge nicely,
though on the spur of the moment,
when to lay on or off, and meet all
the emergencies caused by the I'M
foreseen actions of the wounded
leviathan.
Sometimes the whale will rush
through the water, drawing the
boat after him at lightning speed,
and almost tearing the loggerhead
out of the stern, the while the line
is taut as a fddle-string. Or he
may sound" or dive, and fathom
after fathom of line be rapidly paid
out. Woe to him who gets foul
of the smoking line! It often
means loss of leg or arm, or
even instant death for the diving
weight of tons at the other end tells
before the knives can be whipped
out and the line cut. And where
will the whale come up? Perhaps
right under the boat, staving it or
raising it up with him and splitting
all hands into the sea, where they
will sink like so many stones un-
less they know how to swim or
unless another boat is at hand to
pick them up. He may appear a
little to one side, and in his con-
vulsions SILVER the boat with one
lash of tail, or splinter it between
his jaws.
In the old days the whale was
killed with lance in the hands OF
the officer. It required eye and
nerve for the fatal thrust at the
rolling, plunging monster. Now
however, they use the bomb lance,
which is shot from a heavy brass
gun and explodes within the whale
usually with fatal effect.-Ex.
