FASHION NOTES.

A large sailor appears to be the
latest shape in Paris.
The fashion for dressing the hair
seems to be tending toward conceal
ing the ears.
The bulk Of the trimming is now
placed at the sides instead OF the
front or back.
Every chic hat is fanked with
winged birds, quills or ribbon
rosettes and loops.
A new hat was trimmed all round
the brim with rosettes of green
mauve and brown tulle.
The sailor hat seems to be a sort
OF perennial. 1t differs but little
from those worn some seasons back.
A pretty turban has a trimming Of
satin loops and ostrich tips. One
rather long plume curls back over
the hair.
Waists of fancy silk, the fronts
shirred in at the shoulders and waist
line, are worn with skirts in black
and all colors.
Some of the new fashion-plates
have the hair in q fluffy mass that

WHY EXTREME STYLES FAIL.

We hear great deal about old
fashions coming back again, but
those who are so fortunate as to
have stored away in cedar closets and
packing-trunks any of the genuine
old-time garments, those that were
actually worn by their foremothers,
need but single glance to show them
that there is a very decided difference
between the present day and the
real antiques. While we have, in a
general way, many Of the old styles,
they are so modified. reconstructed,
revamped and modernized that, ex-
cept in the most comprehensive
fashion, they cannot be called re-
yivals.
The advanced woman does not take
kindly to any of the old-fashioned
extreme styles. Something more
adaptable has to be provided for her,
and it is therefore incumbent upon
designers to prepare something that
will be acceptable to this very large
contingent. For the woman OF ad-
vanced ideas is just now very largely
in the majority. Even though her
husband, father, brother or the one
Of all others whom she carries in her
minds eye if not in her heart, may
dissuade her from entering the ranks
of the suffragists, she still is a very
long way toward emancipation from
the frivolities Of fashion. What
though she may not be present at
parlor meetings and women's clubs,
she likes her outings and takes them
in some sensible costume not very
far removed from the practical and
useful attire of her more independent
sisters. And so extreme styles,
while they are looked at and talked
about and admired for their novelty,
are quite likely to remain in the i'm
porters' cases as models or sug-
gestions, and every lady selects some
thing practical and sensible and fully
in accord with the reputation so well
deserved by American women as the
best-dressed people in the world

COLoRED GIRLS AS STUDENTS.

There are 1,759 colored girls study
ing the several professions in the
United States. Three colored women
are instructors in theology-one in
Indiana, one in Illinois and one in
Iowa. There is one woman enrolled
as a theological student in the Ala
bama college. In the District of
Columbia colored woman is en-
gagged in the study Of law and there
are eight in the United States who
are studying medicine-two in New
York, two in Pennsylvania, two in
the District Of Columbia, one in
Michigan and one in Kentucky. 1t
seems very strange that there are
not more colored women in the
schools for the training of nurses,
but throughout the whole country
there are only twenty-nine. Eight
cen of these are in Massachusetts
ten in the District Of Columbia and
the other one in Vermont Chicago

covers the ears altogether, others
merely show the tips.
Straw hats have come out in every
color conceivable. but the favorite
shades appear TO be heliotrope,
purple and turquoise.
The hair Is much more pufied out
than heretofore, and the prediction
is made that any amount Of false hair
will become necessary.
Dresses OF black and tan are all
the rage. Black velvet with tan
colored cloth, or vice-versa, makes
an exceedingly effective costume.
A round hat is trimmed with q
butterfly bow exactly in front. The
effect is somewhat peculiar, as the
loops Of the bow ut some distance
resemble ears.
While black-silk dresses are for
the moment very much liked, their
advent seems to have made no differ
ence whatever in the demand for
good black-wool goods.
Poke bonnets of shirred material
are popular. They have inside trim
ming arranged after the old fashions,
a wreath of flowers sometimes being
visible above the crimped and waved
front tresses.
A stylish blouse is made on the
old-time Norfolk plan, with wide, fiat
plaits. There are bishops sleeves
and very wide revers of moire, a
moire belt and collar with narrow
galloon trimming.
Folded belts are preferred TO plain
ones; indeed, the plain belt is almost
thing of the past, except in ribbon
with fancy buckle, and even these
are less liked than the more fluffy,
loose arrangement.
Sleeves are said to be growing
larger. In dress recently ordered,
seven yards of material were put
into the sleeves. OF course, it takes
a great deal to make the sleeve itself,
but there are ruffies and putfs and
crimpings world without end.
The new hats have straight brims
Of quite moderate dimensions. with
tri-colored drapery of tulle. A
brown straw hat, for instance, was
draped with green, pink and brown
tulle, and trimmed in front with a
bird.
Bodices are shown in extreme
styles, some of them so severely plain
that they would be almost painful
except for artistic effects in trim
ming. Others are so loaded with
frills and fixings that the distinctive
character of waist seems to be
almost a secondary consideration.
Wide-brimmed hats are gotten up
in extremely picturesque style.
They are trimmed good deal, but
the trimmings are so carefully ar
ranged and artistically adjusted that,
while there is any quantity of them,
they do not suggest any over-done
effect.

DISPERSED sv sAUCRKaAUT.
Peculiar Cause Of the Children
Quitting the Old Homo.

They were talking about the deser-
tion of farms by the younger genera
tions fc me alluring charms OF tho
cities; how young men and women
left the home nest in the country as
soon ms they felt any confidence In
themselves and tiocked to the paved
streets and brick walls OF urban life
i'm the hope that work would not be
so hard and money would come easier.
Our family furnishes n case in
point" said n young German, who
has latterly appeared in minor roles
in twenty-fourth ward democratic
politics. We're all in the city now
except the old folks, who stick to the
farm, and are doing pretty well. Our
reasons for abandoning the farm.
however, were not those usually
given, and | doubt il a parallel case
can be found. Then he told his
story;
With two brothers and three sis
ters he lived on farm 100 miles
from Chicago, and they all aided n
phlegmatic old father in operating
the place. 1t was fine piece OF
land, and the family was happy and
prosperous. But dark disaster came
in the shape OF II cabbage crop. The
Chicago market showed II strong de-
mand for sauerkraut, and the farmer
decided to 20 in for a profitable crop.
With the three boys he planted sew
eral acres i'm cabbage, with excellent
results. The crop was cut up and
packed and there were $50 barrels Of
the finest sauerkraut made.
Communicating with friend In
the grocery business on the North
Side. the farmer received an order
for ten barrels. A few days later the
grocer announced that the best he
could offer was So cents barrel, the
top market price. The old man
couldn't stand such n drop as that,
SD he had the shipment returned,
paying the freight charges both ways.
Purchasing forty fine young pigs, he
began fattening them on his high
grade sauerkraut. All went well for
few days, but the porkers soon
tired of the diet and began to run
from it. The pile grew high, and n
few OF the stronger pigs jumped the
fence and ran away, while others
sickened and grew weak from star
vation.
1t was puzzler for the old man,
but he was determined to derive
some benefit, and the boys lugged
the stuff up to the orchard near the
house, where it was spread about as
IL fertilizer. BY this time the entire
family grew turbulent at the mere
mention Of sauerkrnut, and when the
sun poured It's hot rays on the picked
cabbage the girls rebellcd. The far
mer was odurute, and the three girls
packed their effects and came 10 the
city. The kraut became SO powerful
that even the old man could not
stand il, and the boys were instructed
TO cart it down TO IA distant field and
spread It. The boys had been on
the verge of mutiny several times,
and this settled il. They all lii
out " for Chicago, and have been here
ever since. The girls are In service,
and once in IA great while they all
meet with the lonely and disappoint-
ed old Teuton on the farm. When II
was all over the Chicago sauerkraut
market went booming again.

SHE WILL NOT HELP THEM.

1t is said that Queen Victoria has
frequently been approached Of late
by people ambitious of writing her
biography, with requests for details
of the life of the court since 1887.
Her majesty, however is said TO be
engaged on Il biography of herself for
posthumous publication, and not
liking to take the wind out of her
own sails, uniformly refuses to inn
part any information, referring the
inquisitive persons to members of
her household, where she tells them
they may find sufficient trustworthy
material. 1t is said that the queen
has made innumerable memoranda
in her own hand, which are among
the royal archives in charge Of the

She Swims IN Her Sleep.

A young woLjan Of Crab Creek,
Adams County, INDUCES in frequent
freaks OF somnambulism. One OF
her recent exploits was as follows:
She arose from her bed about three
o clock in the morning and was seen
to approach Crab Greek in her night
robe. Upon reaching the stream the
young woman waded in for a short
distance, as IL feeling her way, and
swan safely across. Upon reaching
the opposite bank she awoke, half
frightened TO death, dripping wet,
shiyering from the cold, and made
her way 10 the house OF neighbor,
where she was cared for and taken
TO her home.-lM Morning Oregonian.

THE FORESTERS BALL.
A Brilliant Scene in City Hall Last Evenin,

nnasCity hall presented a magnificent sight
last evening. From one end to the other,
from the ceiling to the balconies, it was
dressed with paintings, colored lights,
glories of flags, bunting, streamers and
banners, all arranged in most excellent
taste and presenting scene rarely
equalled. This was the work of Col.
Beals of Boston, and his assistants,
whose skill as artistic decorators has
more than once been displayed here.
AT the rear of the hall an elegant re-
ception room had been prepared, and
hither His Honor, Mayor Baxter, the
members of the city government, the
distinguished officers from the various
Courts of Foresters in the different cities
OF the state, were escorted by the recep-
ton committee from Court Falmouth of
this city, whose guests they all were last
evening. The reception committee was
composed of Joseph A. MCGOWAN, chair
man, and these gentlemen Edward G.

SPORTING MATCHES.
Between Members of Portland and Boston
Athletic Clubs.

Instructor Lee, Of the Athletic club,
while in Boston last Saturday, made ar.
rangements with members of the Boston
Athletic club for a sparring match be-
tween mem bers of the two clubs, to take
place in the gymnasium here some time
next week.
The arrangement is for the Boston
club to send down three or four mem beers
of different weights for friendly bouts
with mem bers of the Portland club.
The home representatives have not YET
been selected, but probably Prof. Lee,
Harry Fowler and James Dixon will
be called upon to hold up the Portland
end. Prof. Lee is in the middleweight
class and is always in condition. Young
Fowler, whose good work has been 4ad-
mired at several exhibitions, is taking
regular work in the gymnasium now and
is developing into one of the best light
weights in New England. Dixon is a
fine boxer as well as general athlete and
can always be depended ON to give a
good exhibition.
A good deal of interest has been de-
veloped in these amateur sparring exhibit
tions az the Athletic club and a large
crowd of members is expected to turn
out. The date will doubtless be some
time next week and will be announced
later

The renovated High school building
was occupied by the scholars for the first
time yesterday morning. At O'Clock the
scholars congregated in Assembly hall,
where, after reading of the Scriptures and
the recitation of the Lords prayer, Prin-
cipal Chase delivered an address.
While the school convened in City

to one clock, the time being divided
into four recitation hours, but commenc-
ing tomorrow morning the sessions will
be held from 8. 80 until l O'Clock, the
period within that time, with the excep-
tion of the ten minutes for recess, being
divided into five "hours" of forty five
minutes each, three for recitation and
two for study, this being the same
arrangement as in the old building. The
classes are so arranged that, freely speak
ing, the first and second classes occupy
the second floor, the third and fourth

KILLED WHILE coAsTINe, @i
Alphonso Tibbetts and Louis Patterson
Run Into Each Other.


Alphonso Tibbetts, boy nine years of
age, was killed at Orr's Island, Tuesday.
by accident. There are two hills on the
northeasterly side of Lovell's Cove, and
by sliding down one of them, over the
narrow bridge between the two and part
way up the other, a fine long slide could
be had.
The bridge over the creek between the
two hills is very narrow, hardly wide
enough to allow the passage of one sled,
but as Tibbetts was the only person
sliding down the hills he did not think
of that.
About half past seven O'Clock Louis
Patterson, who is about twenty-one
years old, while on his way home from
the big hill of the island, came to the
two hills monopolized by the Tibhetts
boy and jumped on his sled to slide
down across the bridge. AT the same
time the Tibbetts boy started from the
opposite hill. Both of the boys saw
each other, but SO great was their velocity
that they did not dare turn out into the
snow or attempt to stop The two sleds
met on the narrow bridge and both
boys were hurled violently backw ards.
Peterson's sled struck the Tibbetts boy
on the left side. One runner striking two
inches below the left nipple fracturing
two ribs and the other runner struck the
unfortunate boys head fracturing the
temporal bone. The Tibbetts boy was
taken into Mr.. George Stones house
where he soon expired. Patterson was
badly bruised.
