STYLISH NECK aARN1ruREs.

There seems to be no abatement to
the fancy for snowy vest fronts and
decorative collars. Probably because
it is SO easy to put on your best bib
and tucker over last seasons gown,
and feel quite satisfied with your ap-
pearance.
Cuffs. collars and vests of lawn and
lace will be SO ubiquitous through the
spring and summer that the many
fingers are already busy over their
preparation.
Very pretty and generally becoming
are the lawn collars which turn over
at the throat, and cuffs to match
which turn back at the wrist For a
slender throat the three-cornered
pieces which turn over beneath the
ears are the most becoming.
A group OF fashionable collars is
pictured, the upper one being made
of gauze muslin in a pointed yoke
outlined with an insertion of silk en-
broidery, from which falls a founce
to correspond. The yoke of the Sec
ond collar is of fine muslin laid over
a colored silk foundati on, and bor-
dered with band and frill of stiletto

frocks pretty MODELS are shown this
spring, which give to Miss Baby a
touch of her mothers breadth of
shoulder. These are little yoke or
guimpe dresses. with wide, pointed
cape collar of the material, edged
with embroidery from two to three
inches deep, put on just full enough
to keep from puckering this is fin
ished round the neck with plain
cord, and is hooked or buttoned with
single button beneath the neck fin
ish of dress or guimpe, as the case
may be.
Older girls who are we'll dressed are
simply dressed. So long as short
dresses are worn, there is not enough
of plain fabric shown to make back
ground for elaborate trimmings, and
much ornamentation of these small
dresses violates the canons Of taste in
dress as we'll as gives undue
prominence to subject of minor i'm
portance to child. Especially does
the average American mother err in
this respect in preparing the ward
robe for her little girls for their sum-
ner vacation. Then, if ever, should
they have simple and seryiceable
frocks; instead then, more than ever,
for materials are cheap and long days
give time for sewing, are they apt to
be over dressed.
There are. of course, many pretty
models in tasteful designs for those
who do not care to confne the dresses
to severe simplicity. One illustrated
in the large cut is of printed duck,
white, with pin-dot of light blue;
the long, full sleeves are finished with
cuffs of blue duck, pin-dotted with
white, and folds of the same material
start from the armholes and are caught
down in the front of the bodice by
two rows of round pearl buttons.
Another model illustrated is of pale
pink pique, the chemisette trimmed
with rows of narrow feather-stitch
braid, white, and wide rufie OF en-
broidery, double-pointed revers OF
the pique forming sort of color.

An Arctic ExpeditiOn.

A West Greenland expedition has
been arranged for the season of 1895.
The prominent organizers are from
New York and Brooklyn. Philadel.
phia, Boston, Princeton and Chicago
will also furnish scientists, money and
supplies. The committee under whose
auspices the expedition has been
started consists of Cyrus G. Adams,
WHO was Lieutenant Peary's right.
hand man; Professor William Libbey,
of Princeton; Professor T. G. Cham
berlain, of the University of Chicago;
Herbert L. Bridgman, of Brooklyn,
and Professor Franklin W. Hooper, of
the Brooklyn Institute.
The plan is to charter a whaling
steamer capable of accommodating
ten scientists exclusive of the crew.
She will leave st. Johns about the
middle of June, cruise along the west
ern Greenland coast, thence TO Peary's
headquarters in McCormick's Bay to
bring him and his comrades home.
The expenses of the expedition will
amount to $4,000. They will be
met by contributions of $1,000 from
ten institutions of learning. and each
institution will send representative.

Photography by Phosphorescence.

In the field oflighiing by phospho-
rescence we reach hitherto untrodden
ground. Phosphorsescent light has
been associated with the idea of
s.cold light" or the property of be-
coming luminous with the omission of
the intermediate step of combustion,
as commonly understood. As a phys
ical action, we know it in the light OF
the frefy, which Professor S. P.
Langley rates at an efficiency of 100
per cent, all its radiations lying with
in the limits of the visible spectrum
By means of the Teslaic currents
phosphorescent light strong enough
even to photograph by has been OBJ
tanned; and the picture, representing
the inventor himself, is the first por-
trait or photograph of any kind ever
taken by phosphorescent light. A
bulb whose light-giving member is
coated with sulphide of zinc treated
in special way was rendered phos-
phosescent by means of current OBJ
tanned from a high-frequency trans
former coil. The current used was

times per second. The exposure was
about eight minutes.
The other picture, that of Mr..
Clemens MARK Twain), was taken a
few weeks later-early in 1894-with
the aid of the same bulb, and with an
exposure of about ten minutes. In
order to test more closely the actinic
value of phosphorescent light, some
bulbs subject to high frequency cur
rents were p photographed, or, if we
may coin new word, ''phospho-
graphed," with somewhat longer ex-
posure. One bright pair illustrated
utilize sulphide of zinc in some form
for lumin ositv. The third bulb, seen
family to the left of them, has coat
ing of sulphide of calcium. Although,
judged by the eye, it glowed with a
brightness fully equal to that of the
other two, the actinic value was evil
IDENTIFY much less. 1t is, perhaps,
needless to say that these demonstra-
tions invite to an endless variety OF
experiments, IN which investors will
find host of novel phenomena await
ing them as to phosphorescence and
fuorescence produced with electrical
currents. Century.

" The Pleasure OF killing. -

Captain G. A. W. Donovan, who has
recently made hunting trip through
Matabeleland, Africa, has written a
book describing his experiences. He
betrays in the most delightfully."- naive
way that delight in slaughter for
slaughter's own sake which is char
acteristic of many nominally civilized
huntsmen. Here is fine illustration
of this popularity:
s'While crossing Spring-bok Flats,
we had great hunt after troop of
the nimble little bucks which give the
district it's name. 1t was pretty sight
to see them galloping along and MAX
ing the marvellous springs into the air
from which their name is derived. To
watch them thus was to me-to whom
everything was new-almost as inter-
esting as to shoot them. 1 should have
enjoyed another day after them, as
the open country in which they delight
makes it possible to watch every turn,
twist and jump of the herd. And, af-
ter all, seeing new animals in their
natural condition is almost equal to
the pleasure of killing them"

which is tied in front with bow OF
white lawn.
A model for a cashmere or crepor
dress has the skirt trimmed with long
lines of baby velvet ribbon of har-
monizing or contrasting color; these
outline the seams of the gored skirt
and radiate from the neckband in
circular yoke effect on the round
bodice, each line on waist. The
sleeves and collar band are similarly
finished, and frills of lace drape the
shoulders.
The short French skirt, falling just
below the knee, remains in favor
among fashionable mothers for girls
from three to ten years, and is even
worn up to twelve years by girls not
full size. The skirts from ten to four
teen years now flare decidedly, with
full plaits in the back, quite like their
mammals gowns. The little women,
in fact. copy most of the effects in
the older women's fashions In big
sleeves. Directoire sleeves, fichu and
blouse effects, and the rage for fronts
and crushes, as the stock collars are
familiarly called. Guimpes remain in
favor for grls of all sizes, though the
girls above twelve years usually de-
clare preference for frocks without
them.

Suggestions Valuable to Mothers
Materials and Styles That Will
Be in Vogue-Some Stylish
Neck Garnitures.

ROWN-UP members of the
community do not entirely
u monopolize the pretty things
-. of the season. Never were
theAlittle ones more gracefully or ar
tistically clad. The blouse waist is
seen everywhere, developed in all
sorts and varieties OF material, and for
tots whose ages range from two to
eight years skirts barely reach to the
bend of the knee. Sleeves are large
-puffed, shirred and rosetted quite
as deliberately as those worn by the
mammas and big sisters.
/. In hats the Kate Greenaway styles
sre still in favor. They are always
gathered on to wires and trimmed
with lace-edged frills or bows of rib
bons.
Black and red combined are popular
for little girls, and solid colors have
almost driven the ''mixed effects"
from the field.
Small boys and girls--those who
need nursery gates-have fortunately
an abiding fashion in their clothes.
Both sexes dress alike, in white nain-
sock, until three years, when the boy
gives the first cold shoulder to frocks
by getting into kits of pique, serge,
or flannel, with blouse waist of the
same and REFER jacket for outdoor
wear.
Girls of three years attest their ad-
va1ce from babyhood by wearing
much shorter dresses of nainsook,
with others of chambray, fine ging-
hams, and dimities. The little misses
of this tender age are SO attractive in
themselves that they are superior to
dress, and it is the wise mother who
MAX es the little frocks of very simple de-
esign for general wear. II the small

Feeding Sweet Potatoes to Mules.

Mr.. W. G. Hinson, of James Island,
S. c., has been writing to the news
papers in reference to his experiments
in feeding his horses and mules with
sweet potatoes. There are two other
farmers in the same neighborhood who
are utilizing their potatoes in the
same way. These gentlemen are not
doing it from necessity, but as mat
ter of farm economy, and are well
pleased with the experiment. Accord
ing to the estimate of Colonel T. w.
Woodward, OF Fairfield, it takes three
bushels of potatoes to equal in nutri-
ment one bushel of corn, but even if
it took four the cost of feeding on the
potatoes would be far less. 1t is we'll
known that a dry summer is very
favorable to potatoes, and just the op-
posite for corn, and this fact ought to
induce every farmer to plant them
more largely.-New Orleans Picayune.

LITTLE oApEs STILL IN FASHION.

The tenacious little cape is with us
still, and is likely to remain in fashion
SO long as the sleeves keep their pres
ent condition of fullness. 1t varies in
length from the waist to point just
below the shoulders, and the most
dressy one for spring is made of black
velvet, cut very full on the edge, and
with yoke which fits closely, and is
covered with another printed yoke
shaped piece of silk or velvet, elabor-
ately jetted and spangled. below which
falls frill of black accordion-plaited
