WTSE CAUTION.

The dangers of the national system of building and loan associations are very properly attracting more and more attention from State officers. The lat est to call attention to them is the State
 auditor of Rhode Island who, in re-
 port made to the legislature, points out tions incorporated under the laws of other States are now transacting busi-
 ness in nearly every city and town
 in Rhode Island, and there is no law on
 the statute books of the State govern
 ing such associations. And he adds:
 It is the duty of the State to encourage
 building and loan institutions, as they
 are no doubt a benefit to it's citizens,
 but is it not also the duty of the State
 to protect it's citizens by exercising just
 supervision over associations of this character? In view of the rapid in crease of such associations during the past several years, as indicated in the ninth annual report of the commission CT of labor of the United States, which is devoted entirely to building loan as- sociations and the laws enacted by
 the various States to govern them, would suggest that an equitable law similar to the following be enacted by this State, which shall govern all such associations proposing to incorporate in or transact a general business in Rhode Island" The law which he pro poses provides that all building and loan associations doing business in the State shall deposit their mortgages and other securities with a trust com pany of the State approved by the State auditor; that foreign associations doing business in the State must pos sess $10o,O00 accumulated capital; that any foreign association which shall re- move any suit begun against 1t from a State to United States court, or fail to pay any Judgment within sixty days, or to make the required reports to the State auditor, shall forfeit it's right to do business in the State. It is probable that before many years State legisla- lures generally will be forced to take such notice of the nationals" as will in some measure, at least, guard the public against them

CATCHLNG.

The movement against the big theatre
 hat appears to be almost as catching as the grip. Starting in far-off Missouri 1t has since broken out in Illinois, New York and New Jersey. In the legisla- ture of each of those States a bill has been introduced making it unlawful for women to wear hats in theatres or pub lie halls that will obstruct the view of any person in the audience. The bills are approved by public opinion with promptness and eagerness which show that the time is ripe for them. Will not some member of the Connecticut legis- lature make himself popular and fa- nous by introducing a bill against the big theatre hat in this State? There is no State in the Union where the big theatre hat is bigger or more discourag- ing than in Connecticut. This is a re- form year in this region. To the aboli- tion of the lobby and the sobering of the camp at Mantle let us add the an- initiation of the big theatre hat. So shall this be blessed and memorable year for the commonwealth.

FIGHTING IN coon EYGLrsH.

Although Yale is not a military school
 she is a militant school She can and l does fight and she can and does win | She has a long and glorious record of victories on the land and on the
 water and especially does she shine and conquer on the bloody football | field. It is perhaps not surprising that such a school does not excel in speaking and writing the language of the country. It is little too much to expect that successful fighters should also be masters of oratory and elegant composition. It has been lately urged,
 however, that even the fighters of Yale
 ought to be able to express their minds
 in speech and writing in such way
 as to command the attention if not the
 approval of those whom they conquer
 So an attempt is being made to teach
 them to use their own language with
 more skill than they have hitherto
 shown. It is interesting to notice that

 school of the country. the same de-
 feet, if it is a defect, as that which
 has been noticed at Yale exists. Ac-
 cording to the report of the Board of
 Visitors appointed to inspect the Acad-
 emy the students are deficient in their
 ability to write good English. At first thought it might not seem that this is a very important deficiency, since it is the chief business of soldiers to fight or be ready to do so, but it is pointed out that it is well for our army officers to know how to write dis patches accurately, and to make reports with sufficient attention to the syntax employed to render the meaning clear | It appears that out of nearly eight | thousand hours devoted to study and | recitation st West Point during the | regular four years course there. only | eighty-four hours for recitation and 210 for study are given to English.

 Assisted by the work of his specially engaged photographer, MT. Stoddard qualified himself not only to report, but largely to reproduce, the various scenes and surroundings of this unique dram atic event, of which he found himself a sympathetic observer.

 being confined at the waist Of green cloth, the bodice is also trimmed with velvet and set off with white lace and chiffon vest. The sleeves have turned back cuffs. The cloth skirt has a white silk front breadth ornamented with myrtle green velvet rosettes, and on either side of this there is a rich em- broidery of green velvet appliqued to white silk. A tiny myrtle green velvet toque completes the elegant costume.
 Chiffon and crepop are going to be much favored in the coming season. Crepon has many good points. It comes very wide, It's dull and crinkly finish makes it take any wear without injury, and it has the look of being very warm and heavy, especially in the darker shades, when, as matter of fact, it is extremely Night. Then it has all the richness of fold that material as heavy as it looks would have, and though it is expensive, a good quality will outwear almost any other materi- al It is also as dressy as silk. If in doubt what to select for skirt to go with anything" choose a black ere pon. Have it made to just clear the floor and to stand out well in sweeping godets all around, and line it with crinkling black silk with no ruff1es about the foot. Such a skirt will go with the most elaborate bodice and be all right with a simpler one for calling or street wear FLORETTE.

 ANTS, OR HYPNoTIsM. It now appears that for one explana- tion of one of those hitherto inexplicable marvels wrought by Hindoo jugglers we must go to the ant and consider her ways in order that we may be the wiser.
 Travellers have told many startling stories of the magic power possessed by the Yoghis of India. As far as the observation of ordinary mortals can de- termine, their achievements seem to be nothing less than miraculous
 I Before ones very eyes the Yoghi plants dry withered mango stone. This he covers with a cloth, reciting weird incantations. In a. moment or two the cloth is pushed upward by the growth of a little tree with four tiny leaves. Another incantation, and the tree is a shrub with branches; still another, and the bush has become a tree from which the conjurer plucks and hands to the observer a ripe mango, in season or out Of season.
 M. Ragonneau. a French scientist, offers a solution of the seeming miracle. He claims to have discovered the art of forcing a plant to grow from the seed as much in thirty minutes as it ordinarily would in thirty days He frequently saw the mango trick per formed, and noticed that the Yoghi al- ways imbedded the seed or stone in earth which he had brought with him for that purpose, and therefore he iudg- ed that this soil had received special preparation. Investigating the matter he found that this earth was obtained from ant hills, whereupon he proceeded to try his hand at wonder-working and after some experiments succeeded in duplicating the Hindoo trick. p
 The industrious and intelligent ants, as is we'll known, are not only mechan- ics, warriors, cowherds, and commun- ists but they are practical chemists, so to speak, distilling in their little internal retorts certain sharp acid known to science as formc acid. In time, the earth of their habitations becomes charged with this acid, which
  of dissolving the outer covering of a seed and stimulating to rapid growth the germ within. M. Ragonneaus fur ther researches have led him to believe that this discovery has a practical ap- plicatlon to agriculture. By infusing ants in boiling water a strong acid was obtained, and it is stated that earth moistened with solution of five thous- and parts of water to one of formic acid produced the best results and most perfect growth.
 An acid analogous to this is formed by artificial distillation. Whether it's effect upon plant life is as powerful | as the original and genuine ant-acid we are not told, but agriculturalists will do we'll to make note of this.

 Interest in the Society.
 The managers of the Elm City Kin dergarten association recognize with pleasure the growing interest in the work manifested by the benevolent peo- pie of our city.
 As the work of the kindergarten per- tains more directly to the preventive and constructive than to the remedial, its appeals may perhaps seem less urg- ent than are those of many other worthy charitable objects. They can not be considered of less importance, however, when one fully realizes the deep significace of happy, wholesome child-life; the many obstacles to it's at- tainment in the thickly populated sec tions of a city; and the possibilities of the kindergarten to aid in bringing about this desired condition.
 The managers of the association gratefully acknowledge the hearty sup port,-both moral and financial-given them during the past year, and again extend cordial invitation to all to visit the free Kindergarten carried on in Welcome hall building, Oak street, from o'clock to 12 on all school days.
 In addition to the generous donations of money from private individuals, thankful acknowledgement Is made of the following: %.E

FASHION NOTES.
A Lace Vest Framed With Eur.


 The eccentric mind now has a good field of action in the fashionable fur trimmings, and evidence is plentiful of its workings One odd idea also ap- plies to trimming of bands of velvet
 or lace, which is often made continu- ous from the waist line up, and out in a point to the extreme round of the sleeve. .Ruffles are also thus set. This means that Madam may not hug her husband al all, if he be a big fellow, or she will tear her dress. Fur trim mings are, of course, securely fastened to the gown, and it is difficult to attain a pleasing result with detachable fur collars unless they be big enough to almost take rank as capes..

According to French military paper the small arm projectile of the future is the Eebler-Krul1a tubular bullet. It is made of steel; and has a tube open at both ends running through its center. This tube seems to have the effect of diminishing the resistance of the air and of increasing the steadiness of the projectile, so that longer range and greater fatness of trajectory are ob- tained without any increase of muzzle velocity. It is said that a maximum range of 10000 metres was obtained and that at 5000 metres the bullet penetrat- ed 145l inches of pine wood.
