material lasts so long unsoiled, and If
big sleeves stay fashionable, which
they won't, and a thousand other ifs.
But it is beautiful in itself, which is
more than can be said for the thousand
and one notifications of what used to
be called circular" sleeveless and
shapeless things of silk or velvet fur
lined. All these garments have fur
collars, they differ in length, but never
fall below the knee and there are
sometimes two capes and sometimes
only one about the shoulders, smooth
and close fitting or Enthusiastically full
Jet is unfortunate, for it is heavy
and a bother TO keep in repair, but it is
here, probably in mystical affinity
with velvet, which is its analogue in
woven fabric.
Low-hceled shoes are, on the other
hand, fortunate. Tall women may
wear even what are known as "spring
heels,' such as babies rejoice in.
For morning use woman may wear
q japanese lximono or Russian gown
or an Empire robe. But let her not
hope to be in either original.

observation at very large and swell
afternoon affair, designated for other
purpose but turned by the mastery of
woman into dress parade? First, of
course, though it may be neither
''first" nor "of course" next month :
were salmagundi sketches, or studies
in black and white, Most common of
all we're those gowns whose distin-
gushing feature, is the employment of
parallel rows of narrow white braid
about the shoulder cape Far better
worth while is it to combine black with
white in some more striking fashion
than this. The day is at hand when
these barber pole arrangements will be
as common looking as they now are
smart and poor womankind will don
them with bitterness of heart.
There was wrap and gown of gray
simple, big buttoncd big sleeved,
rather wide skirted, worn by a girl
known to fame chiefly by her enormous
dog, for she's no beauty herself.
One striking but violent costume was
all in black save little strips or slashes
of vivid yellow running from the high
collar down to the shoulder seam, on
the sides to the yoke in front and rear.
At a little distance these funny lines
of color looked like the spokes of a
wheel. The wearer was certainly
unique. Z
There was little girl who reminded
me of apple blossom time because her
gown and cloak were of the glossy rich
green of the upper side of the apple
leaf, and because there was touch Of
the blossoms pink in her checks as
well as in the little dash of color at
her throat. And when j remarked
upon her beauty her plainspoken
mammals only comment was: "She
never eats cake and doesn't. know what
pic is" which is worth bordering by
apple blossom girls, big and little.
Then there was gown of dark green
skirt, with wide plait of rough,
tawny cloth down the side like sun
beam through cloud, and tawny
bodice with touch of the green again.
There was one large fair woman,
whose hair was a mass of brown, and
whose plump checks were red, and
whose hat was red and brown and her
gown the samoa dark red and q
brown, not very red, so that the con
trast was not striking, and at little
distance she looked almost like mon.
ochrome in reddish crayon, which is
Just the same as saying that she
looked like picture, don't you seeP
There was a bodice of purple velvet
and dark fur, beneath which skirt OF
dark green fell void of other trim
mings to little edge of gray fur about
the bottom, just where it must be
soonest soiled.
There was the inevitable combina'
ton of pale pink with very pale green
the inevitable combination OF two
shades of green, with roseSworn, and
two shades Of brown, with white chrys
anthemums ssve these and the blacks

sci and red wrap with black skirt, so.
that she seemed like some strange
tropical bird of plumage fitting among
the greens and browns
There were two scarce older who
wore underneath jackets, the one of
green, the other of brown, bodices
made of transverse bars of pink and
white muslin, which had somewhat
tawdry look. But everything passes
muster nowadays, for a week or so.
The newest hat is fiat felt, much like
other hats, save that there is q deep
cleft directly in front extending quite
across the brim. Let the brim be ever
so little curled away from this cleft
and the effect is martial and grenadier-
ish 1t is best adapted for colors
mainly dark.
The words "a la Russo" are pass
port to favor and interest nowadays.
Queer isn't 1t, this wave of sentiment
from Paris, where it has reason, in
the recent naval celebration, affecting
so powerfully New York, where it has
none? Yet l should not say ''none,"
for were not the Russian grand duke
and officers social pets of the summer
season here? And as to the Russian
trotters at the horse show last week
why, 0ussan, the siXteen-year old Or
loft stallion, had more petting from
fair hands and more surreptitious
humps of sugar than any other equine
notable present, Maybe Bezpodsber-
nv, another Russian, was as attractive,
but the girls fought shy of name that
wasn't so easy to remember.
Perhaps the fur trimmings make
women feel more like Russian beauties.
This is merely a suggestion. In fash
ion matters no one needs to know the
reason for anything, which is blessed
relief, no doubt; at any rate, fur upon
bodices and skirts as well as wraps, fur
with velvet and fur with satin, is a
style, not stylette.
Russian enough in effect are the fur
cloaks of the mode, suggesting Sibe-
rian cold by their luxurious warmth.
Fit for Manitoba and the Saskatche-
wan wastes is the rich full-length wrap
of velvet, fur-lined throughout, garni-
tured at waist with jet or embroidery
or steel or other metal, or anything
under the sun, at the neck and wrists
with bands of fur, big sleeved, with its
high fur collar. It's cost is a small for
tune-and next year?

RAILROAD RATTLE.

OWING TO the recent coal strike In
England the Great Eastern railway Is
fitting up twenty-five locomotives with
a liquid fuel apparatus to burn crude
oil or tar.
A CONTRACT has been entered into by
an American corporation for the build
ing of railway through the Jordan
valley along the Sea of Galilee to
Damascus,
The speed of the fastest railway
train is only a little more than one
half the velocity of the golden eagles
flight, the bird having been known to
make one hundred and forty miles per
hour.
A MAN who is in situation to speak
from the card says that the PeRasyl-
vania Railroad company burns over
twelve thousand tons of coal day
between Pittsburgh and Jersey City,
at n cost considerably over forty thou
sand dollars. This is for making steam
only, and does not include the coal
used for heating, running, pumping
engines, elevators, air eompressors
and electric light generators, or for the
many tugs and ferryboats employed by

DIED OF LOVE.
A Travellers Pathetic Account of an Incl
dent in Bird Life.

A Travellers Pathetic Account of an Incl
dent in Bird Life.
DR.. Junker, a scientific explorer,
travelled through Africa without armed
escorts, accompanied only by his ma
tive attendants and carriers. He had
brought from west of the Makua pair
of red-tailed gray parrots. Their wings
being clipped, they were allowed to go
about freely in the inclosure; but the
queen, who was specially attached to
Dr. Junker, would perch half the day
together by his side.
Unfortunately the pair came to n
tragic end. The kingbird. had some
how fallen from the perch and received
internal injury. Seeing him on the
ground, bleeding at the beak, brought
him to my couch and laid him first on
one side, then on the other, to give him
little ease; but all to no purpose and
in about an hour he lay dead, with out
stretched wings.
Meanwhile the queen parrot, which
had probably witnessed the accident,
came in and began to behave in most
extraordinary manner. First she imi-
tated TO the life all the movements of
her dying consort; then she crouched at
some little distance, changing her posi-
ton whenever he did, signing, laying
her head now on one side, now on the
other; in short, acting exactly as if she
were suffering from the same injury
that had befallen her mate
/ kept my eyes riveted on the in
separable pair and my amazement soon
changed TO feeling of deep sympathy.
The paroxysm of impulsive imitation
lasted long enough to produce a
marked effect on the organic functions
of the little creature. Her grief, or
whatever ineXplicablc influence it may
have been, caused SO profound dis
turbance in the system that the vital
action suddenly ceased while she was
yet mourning the loss of her compan-
ion.
Without needing the risk, she had
drawn SO near the fire that / was
obliged at last to move her to place of
safety But the end was not already
at hand. She refused the most tempt
ing morsels and within twenty minutes
of her partners death she had breathed
her last gasp.
What are we to make from this far
from solitary case? BY what name
shall we inscribe the puzzle? Imita-
tive impulse, instinct, heartbroken sor-
row for the dear one-what shall we
say caused the death of our little gray
parrot?-Chicago Post.

Vegetables for Poultry.

A little green food occasionally is not
so necessary for egg production as to
serve for change. Such substances
contain but little nutri@ept compared
with grain, the benefit derived being
mostly from their action in preventing
constipation. A head of cabbage oc-
casionally or mess of turnips. though
adding but little to the ration, being
mostly composed of water, will be
highly relished by all classes of poul-
try, however, because they serve a pur-
pose other than as food, and will great
ly assist in keeping the fowls in condi-
ton by providing them with succuient
material.

Action of Cold and Heat.

The generally accepted theory of the
cooking of meat relates to the applica-
ton of heat, but DIR. Sawiczevesky has
called attention to the fact that almost
precisely the same chemicals and phys
ical changes can be accomplished by
exposing animal flesh to extreme cold.
Meat subjected to degree of cold
equal to so degrees below the zero of
Fahrenheit's thermometer looks and
tastes exactly like meat boiled in

The property left by the deceased
was valued at sevcnty-five Thousand

ABSENT-MINOeO SENATORS.
John Sherman Often Unable to Call the

John Sherman Often Unable to Call the
Names of His Friends.
There Is many a man who has felt
himself aggrieved that Senator John
Sherman was unable to remember him
or 10 call him by name. 1t is a faculty.
says the Washington Times the lack of
which seriously handicaps a man in
public life. Perhaps the great Ohioan
might have been president but for the
lack of it. But the fact of his for
getting mans name is no evidence in
John Sherman'S case of his wanting in
esteem for the forgotten one.
In recent speech he paused con-
fuSedly when he wanted to refer to
something that had been said by Mr.
-Mr.-my neighbor on my left-the
senator from Massachusetts" Senator
Aldrich, sitting just behind him, sug-
gested Hoar. Sherman and Hoar have
been associated in public life for an in
definite number of years. They are
friends and what may be termed init
mate acquaintance. The Sherman
and the Hoar families are related. Yet
the senator from Ohio was made to
come out of the absorption in his sub
ject in which he was invested to call
the name of Senator Hoar
1t is related as a fact of a wealthy
old resident of western town that he
wandered all over the town in a tit of
profound abstraction one morning
Some one stopped him to say: Good
morning, Mr. Hayden"
The old fellow looked up excitedly
and exclaimed: That's it, That's it.
I've been trying to think of that name
all morning, and couldn't sign a check
at the bank"
ForgetfulnesS of names is not an un-
usual popularity among men, but it Is
a fatal lack in man who seeks popu-
larity with the masses of the people.
