THE WRITING ON THE WA11.

Grover Cleveland reads the hand-
 writing upon the wall relative to the grave dangers imperilIing the demo- cratic party, as is seen in his polite and
 willy letter to the Governor of Missis- sippi, and which the Mississippi gover- nor very naturally immediately con- strued to be intended for publication for the good of the party, MT. Cleve- lands chances for a third term are not very brilliant, though he is developing a strength by his hard money platform that is awakening much interest. He, however, sees the political weakness of the position as well as it's inherent strength and his bugle call to the Southern democrats to rally around the gold standard is very polite move. Nevertheless the cry from Washington will be intellectual The defeat and probable "disintegration" of the democratic party upon the Presi- dents platform is apparently to be counted on as a sure thing, judging from the outcries and demonstrations

Nearly all picture hats have high crowns, and a late notion is to set lace about the crown, tying it in place by a band of ribbon. the lace standing out crisply in little rufie at the top of the ribbon, and considerably above the crown itself. The crown of the hat in this picture Is surmounted by a bunch of forget-me-nots, and flanked on either side by loops of blue moire ribbon. From the center of the bunch 8 delicate aigrette rises, A peculiar shade of gray straw is used for this hat.
 Enormous punches of feathers are worn upstanding and a wave on new hats. Never has black headgear been so popular. No matter what the gown, big cloud of black lace and plumes may be worn on the head, and after all nothing is more becoming.
 Little bonnets with flat pancake top of spangled lace have an upstanding frill of pleated chiffon, wired and edged with spangles to finish the front. Knots of roses are set low down at the sides. This is a pretty compromise with the Dutch bonnet, which will meet the re- quirements of the middle-aged woman, who, when she wears bonnet, cannot accustom herself to head all bear

The season just ended has been a dull one for the muskrat catchers on the Delaware marshes. The catch is valuable one in good seasons, and marshes are rented for the muskrat catching privilege All cross-road store keepers deal in the belts, and the Dela- ware legislature was once asked to en- act law for the protection of the muskrat, so that the species might not become extinct. The meat of the creature is sold in the Wilmington street market and served as marsh rab- bit.

In an admirable paper on the after shocks of earthquakes F. Omort has at tackled a somewhat neglected branch of seismology. In three recent Japanese earthquakes those of Kumamoto in 1889, Mino-Owari in 1891 and Kagoshima in 1893, the after shocks have been care fully recorded and specially studied from the frequency point of view. In the case of the great Mino-Owari earth quake of 1891 the aftershocks were most numerous some distance south of the principal epi-central tract. MT. Omori suggests that the principal earthquake was caused by the formation of some great fractures beneath the Neo valley, and that the axial lines indicate the po- sitions of four weaker or deeper frac- lures, along which the crust is not yet in the way of steadily settling into equilibrium
