MORBID dread Of the smallpox
seems to have driven all sentiments
of humanity out Of the breasts of
some people in Chicago. The abject
cowardice shown by the barbarians
who turned 9-year-old Maggie Bailey
into the street is case in point. 1t
is hardly possible that the disease
had reached the contagious stage In
the case of the little girl, and even
If it had the danger of infection
would not have been increased by
keeping her in the house for an hour
or two until the arrival of the am
bulance. The people for whom she
was working, however, fell into a
state Of abject terror and thrust the
child out of the house to live or die
as providence might direct. There is
just one consolation to be got out of
this incident. The savages who dis
played their brutality, toward the un-
fortunate girl are without doubt as
cowardly as they are inhuman. They
will live for the next six months in a
state of continual apprehension that
will be worse than the smallpox it
self

cording to the chronology of Profes-
sor Riley, two broods Of seventeen
year locusts are due in this country
during the present summer. They
last appeared in 1877, and then visit
ed the vicinity of New York, Brook
lyn and Jersey City, the Hudson val
ley south Of Troy, portions of Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and the District of Colum-
bia. In all these States, and perhaps
also in North Carolina, Indiana and
Michigan, the pest may be expected
next month IL Professor Riley figures
correctly. The larvae, which live
underground, begin to rise and show
themselves about May goth, the
adults remaining five or six weeks.
They do most damage to shrubbery,
but their ravages are more alarming
than harmful.

The Sarasohn family, with their
bOarder, sat down to dinner Of fish
and horseradish at Z o'clock on Fri
day night. Mr.. Sarasohn complained
Of feeling i'll about o'clock. His
lips began to burn and his tongue
felt as If it were swelling. He had
pain around his heart and an in
tense nausea. His head ached and
there were shooting pains in his face,
and altogether he was a very sick
man. Mrs. Sarasohn developed the
same symptoms, and then one after

she reached 1t she was stricken down
and she was carried back helpless. A
doctor was summoned and when he
learned that the family had been eat
ing horseradish he diagnosed the
cases as acute aconite poisoning.
Opium, which Is a partial antidote
for this poison, was administered.
Monkshood does not closely resem-
BILE horseradish, although it is fre-
quently mistaken for it. With a
little care it can be readily distin-
guished, especially IL it is in flower,
for the flowers are blue and of Pc

flowers are white. The root has not
the pungent taste Of horseradish.
The taste is bitter at first, and it
brings on a numbness of the tongue
and tingling sensation in the lips.
The two plants are really so dissimi-
lar that 1t would seem impossible
that horseradish growers should allow
the poison plant to grow alongside
the esculent. Yet the two have been
confounded so much that every doc
tor knows what to suspect when sup
posed horseradish makes anybody i'll.

hat seldom shows the style OF trimming
which spreads to the sides. Very styl-
ish hats are of light straw in this sort
of shape, with a narrow black ribbon
band knotted fatty in front and with
no further trimming. These hats are
worn with all sorts OF gowns, but they
especially adapt themselves to the
summer tailor-made fashion. Hereto
fore the sailor was the only thing q
woman could turn t. for wear with a
tailor duck or drill dress, and the
sailor is undignifed for many women.
The hat of the final sketch is q Ye-
minder that whole birds are still used
for trimming. though not very gener-
ally. 1t Is odd that those folks who
see In this method of adorning mill
linery a deal OF unnece ssary cruelty to
feathered creatures should have been
so pleased over the late styles, which
used wings, rather than the entire
bird. When however, it is remem-
bered that six and even eight wings
were placed on one hat it Is difficult
to see any Improvement. A black
bird was sacrificed for the hat just
mentioned. which was OF mouss cline de
sole, and for further trimming there
was q garland Of roses and u pompon of
mousseline in back, and a cluster OF
roses In front. For a short summer
cape. this picture, too, pre-. ents an
exc llent model. 1t is pleated at the
shoulders and attached to yoke made
OF vandyked guipure. The full ruching
at the ueck is composed OF finely
pleated mousseline de sole. The gar
ment is round in back, but shorter over
the arms, and ends In points in front.
Such capes are an excellent prote tion

ing for their dresses. and good model
of these gowns is the artists fourth
contribution. The material is crepon
delaine and it is made over fitted
bodice lining and bell foundation
skirt. The lining OF the bodice hooks
in the center and the accordion-pleated
part laps over and fastens at the shoul-
der and side. The garniture consists
of lace collar made of bands of inser-
tion, to which the lace is gathered, as
shown. The sleeves have pleated puffs
and long lace cuffs. Around the waist
comes ribbon belt wound around
twice and tying in a bow with differ
ent sized loops and two long ends. A
round hat OF straw is worn which turns
up in back and is trimmed with trich
tips and full ribbon bow. The hat
which the sketched wearer holds in
hand is compos ed of round lace straw
trimmed with lace, which is gathered
closely to the crown and falls in a
rutfie over the brim. The hat rolls up
slightly in front and two ostrich
plumes are placed there little 10 the
right OF the center.
The English walking hat in many
different designs is the fashionable hat
of the hour. The brim is rather wide
and rolling, the crown is oval and
cleft, and the trimming is wide fitted
band of velvet or moire, with bunch
of cocks feathers at the side. This is
the usual sort. A square crown, some-
what bell-shaped and quite high, with
q brlm shorter in front and back and
wider at the sides than the other
model, is little more select, and comes
in lace weave, or fayal, the crown Of
pale-green or bright yellow, and the
brim of black in the same weave. For
trimming a fitted band OF black and,
perhaps, on one side a couple of plurnes
and buckle suffice: but this style Of

effect, and from the back the top of
the hat presents toboggan-like ap-
pearance. There is no trimming, ex-
cept that the head band showing in
front is drawn through long, jewe.ed
buckle, and knot of ribbon Is set
jauntily against the upfolds Of the soft
top, where it is drawn away from the
front.
In straw there appears dainty nov
city which consists of disk OF soft
leghorn that seems to have huted
rim and is tied down over the face by
broad, soft sash ribbon, tying in a
big knot under the chin. These no.
tions are quoted because they are so
we'll adapted to any ybody's means and
are so very pretty. Any woman ought
to be able to construct tam from
what may be left OF her silk gown,
and as the only rule OF its construction
is that 1t shall be becoming, she ought
to get good effect out of it. Besides,
she can insist that she has good au-
thority for the correctnes 80 OF her idea
Above the pretty face in the second
picture there is a hat of moss-green
rice straw trimmed with bows of wat
cred silk ribbon and punches of prim-
roses. The brim is caught up on the
left side, and a cluster of flowers lies
underneath the brim next the hair,
in pursuance of a lately favored trick.
The costume which this hat accompa-
MES is of ash-gray crepe garnished
with moss-green mousseline de sole
and black jet galloon. The skirt meas
ures three yards and the overskirt is
draped at the right side. The bodice
is made entirely of accordion-pleated

hooks in the center OF the front. A
yoke is initiated by hand Of jet gal
loon in back and front, straps of the
same going over the shoulders, with
pendant garniture of large jet bead

Interchangeable Charms

Choose wife with a low, soft
voice, and a pretty foot" said a vet
eran man of the world the other day
to q man about to marry. They are
the only things which won't change,
and when you are old you can close
your eyes and listen to your wife's
chatter, or glance down at her little
foot resting on the fender, end i'm
agine you are still young. Now, a
pretty figure sometimes grows spare
and gaunt, or the contour is covered
up by burden Of adipose. The
sunny hair grows gray. Even the
eyes change when surrounded by
wrinkles. The little hand grows
yellow and shiveled. But the neatly
booted foot may look just as it did
long ago, and the pretty voice be as
harmonious as ever"

to play for skirt adornment, and In
this costume it could be replaced by q
silk fold or ruching. The gown would
then be much less expensive and al
most as handsome. The stuff used Is Q
fancy light suiting OF mixed silk and
wool. The lining of the bodice fas-
tens in the center, and the top laps
over and has yoke Of shirred maize
colored India silk. From the bottom
OF the yoke extend three black silk
straps that terminate in the center OF
the belt in front, and are topped by
black silk bows. The toque worn Is OF
black straw, and Is garnished with
ribbon, flowers, and velvet tie strings.
A brand-new notion in millinery re-
suits in sort of idealized tam-c-shant-
ers, made in each case OF material to
match the gown worn and most da1nt-
ily embroidered and jeweled. Some OF
these are square, some round, and some
three-cornered, and they are mostly
set on one side of the head. BY crown"
is meant the head band upon which the
hat rests and shapes itself to the head.
Often the crown is covered with flowers
as far as it is seen. In some cases the
tam part-the soft part that gives its
character to the headdress-is tipped
away over from the head band and
rests softly against the head to one
side, while on the other the band is ex-
posed and the folds OF the soft crown
stand up in curves. Against this up
right part is placed a cluster OF soft
plumes, which sweep over the top of
the tam, with tips curling to the oppo-
site side of it and resting on the hair.
In one ease a curious and trying effect
which handsome face will stand
splendidly is the drawing away of the
tam from the head band right in front.
The tam is then pulled well down on
either side to almost below the tops of
the ears, giving a curious Napoleon

THE novelist, Marion Crawford, has

patronymics in labelling the charac-
