NEW MILLINERY.
Great Width Across the Forehead In Hats
and Bonne.s-Jeweled Pins


Never were there moro radical changes
in tho millinery world. We are acous-
toned to outstanding aigrets and TO broad
bows at the back of the head, but now ex-
traordinary width carried across the fore
head promises to be the fashion In both
hats and bonnets. As wings are the promi-
nent feature in these front trimmings, the
new models are suggestive of bees and 9TH
er insects. Those who have made a raid
against the wearing of feathers need not
be alarmed. These wings are formed of
paalettes, jet paillettes in preference, for
the reign of the sequin would seem to have
only just begun. They are worked into a
semblance of wings on net or on chiffon,
the patterns generally sufficiently open to
show the groundwork. The hats ara gi-
gantic. There is a disposition for hats 10
assume the square form, and curious in
stance Of this is an open black straw, the
brim formed of one broad box plait on
either side over the ears. It is covered
with green velvet. Wreaths of lilies Of the
valley and foliage cover tho back and
'front.' while underneath arc three green

roses, one in tho center of the back and
one on either side. No flower is so much
in favor as roses, but they are used in
Paris in most unnatural colors.
Wonderful as are the trimmings of the
front of the hat, equal attention has been,
paid to the back. Admirable, but eccen-
trio, is a lace hat, with some four gigantic
loops on either side of dahlia satin ribbon,
sash width, softened by a mixture of black
lace. The crown is gold and black, and
roses are introduced upon it outside and in
of the dahlia tone.
There is new straw called satin
straw" which is not only used for the
plat, but is formed into rosettcs and
might easily be mistaken for baby ribbon.
Many of these straws are shot to resemble
tho ribbons used with them. More foliage
is in demand this season, and black vio-
lets are frequently used. Large rosettes
formed Of white or butter colored lace,
which are plaitings rather than rosettes,
arc placed at the back of crowns, whilo
lace ends fall down by the side of the coil
ct the back.
Large ornamental jewel pins are used
and jewels appliqued on to the material.
Toques are broad across the face, like
the hats, and liborally trimmed with roses
or foliage ut the back.
Crowns seem higher and assert them
selves rather more.
The cut shows a hat in fancy pink
straw. The brim is cut away at the back
and replaced by cluster of roses shaded
from pink to crimson. There is an under
brim Of plated black lace and shaded
pink glace silk bow in front on the crown.
The ornaments arc in jet. Tho toquo is in
burned straw, trimmed with chine ribbon,
ceriso roses, cream Lace and buckles.

After a bit of good advice from the judge,
the girls were released.

One Way to y,oil Errs.

The perfect way Of boiling eggs is not
to boil them at all. They should be placed
in wire basket, that the necessity Of
fishing the eggs out enc by one may not
keep some Of them in the water longer
than others. The basket should DO sub
merged in dish OF cold water. When the
water has come to a boil, not boiled, the
eggs are ready to be served.

COUNTESS GLEICHEN.
Her Professional Studies Fave Been Pur-
sued Entirely In England-Her Trav-
els Through Europe-A strik-
ing Figure of Satan.

A writs14 in the Lady's Pictorial, a class
London publication, remarks that there
is 2A unpretending door in quiet cor
nef, q leaarto construction adjoining It.
which looks simply what it more OF
less is-a worlmans shed-both OF
which would seem to escape the notice
OF the many hundreds of persons of oil
degrees who daily and hourly pass by.
Those who have no previous knowledge
OF this corner often need detailed d.
reetion to find It.. Yet It is part of o
royal palace, on the opposite of the
game road by which another royal resi-
dence is approached, end within q
stones throw Of the most important
center the club life OF London.
The palace Is st. James, the royal
residence, Marlborough house, and the
shed Is that used by the worlxmen
who prepare the marble for Countess
Feodore Gleichen, whose studio Is
reached through the small door where,
we may truthfully say, great things
have risen from small premises.
Here the young Countess Feodore is
emphaticaily lat home, /" for she evinced
as quite child so marked taste and
talent for sculpture and art that she
was never SO happy as when she could
escape to her fathers studio and there
indulge her preference for art over the
cultivation of any other form Of study.
Her father, the late Prince Victor of
MISUNDERSTANDING, was better
known as Count Gleichen. The prince
was distinguished naval officer, and
had seen considerable active service,
both In the Crimea and in China; but
on retiring from the navy with the
rank of admiral he INDUCED the gift
and liking for sculpture which he had
always had, and from that time ne
worked as professional sculptor, with
a success on which there is no need
here to dwell, when readers can recall

Now words from Africa.

An important linguistic expedition
/: to Africa has just been completed by
Rev. Charles Robinson, who was sent
out by the Haussa dictionary. He first
went to Tripoli and Tunis, where there
are Haussa, colonies, and then by way
of the Niger and the Benue reached
Kano, the commercial center of Haussa
land. In returning from Kano to Egg
gar on the Niger he traversed four
hundred and twenty-five miles where
no European had ever been. He
brought back three thousand new
words for dictionary, materials for a
Haussa grammar and manuscripts con-
tanning history and historical and re-
ligious songs. The Haussa is the most
important language of northern Africa
The people who speak it extend from
the Niger region across to Soudan and
cover territory nearly one thousand
miles square; they are very industrious
and are the only nation that Mr. Stan
ley met that esteemed books.

because she had been 30 long in the
land" The tow boys had called him
Dago years before because when he
was stationed at State street to help
pull loaded cars up the incline he was
a constant source of annoyance and
the equally constant source of wrath Of
the Italians who drove fruit wagons.
Dago had an everything desire to eat
bananas Hewould stand IN his place
at the corner and keep an eye On every
wagon that passed. When one filled
with bananas would come along the
old tow horse would bolt from his place
to the middle of the street, open his
mouth, and nip off such fruit as pleased
his fancy. Then he would go back com
placently to the business of towing.
Dago has teeth like those Of q squirrel,
and age has not injured their efficiency.
For number Of years the old horse
was,kept in q barn further north on
Clark street. He was finally moved to
the site Of his present quarters. After
he had been where he now Is for three
years the stable caught fire at night.
The men loosened the horses and be-
gan leading them out One Of the men
grabbed Dago. Leave him alone"
yelled the foreman, stake another
ho-sa; be will care for himself"
So he did. He walked out Of the
place calmly, and having reached the
street started north TO the old barn,
where he had not been for three years.
Arriving there he stood at the door I'M
til it was opened and then he quietly
walked in and entered, undirected, his
old stall, which, 10. 49, ,JJ.0 Uelag, Was
vacant He resisted every effort OF the
rightful owner Of the stall to enter,
and was allowed, finally, to keep his
old quarters
Dago's quarters, at present, are a
great stall of triple the ordinary width.
He wanders all over the barn at will.
He does not kick nor bite, and he has
none Of the querulousness which
sometimes comes with old age.
He Is given all sorts Of good things to
eat, and the children play with him
and tumble about under his feet In a
trying way. but he needs them not q
bit beyond taking great care not to
step on them. He Is an especial friend
Of the barn billy goat, and is on good
terms with all the other horses, whom
he visits daily without haunting them
with their tied-up condition, or making
undue boasts about his own freedom.
Yankee-Dago will enjoy his present
ease of life until he may be called to
something better in the place where
many people believe good horses go.

Sent as a Missionary, ne Became the
Kings Counselor.
There died in Siam few days ago
an American named Marian A. Cheek.
who had been resident of that coun-
try for twenty-five years, and at the
time of his death was one of the most
Distinguished ssd Influential men in
that land, says the Boston Globe.
Sent there twenty-five years ago as
medical missionary under the auspices
of the Presbyterian church, at the age
of twenty years, he gradually rose in
power and wealth until he became the
most intimate counselor of the Siamese
king.
Mr.. Cheek left a family consisting of
a wife and tour children, who have re-
sided in Oakland for the last two years.
Mrs. Cheek received cablegram re-
Gently announcing the death OF her
husband. At the time of his death he
was pressing claim against the
United States government for several
hundred thousand dollars alleged to be
due on account Of negligence Of Ameri-
can officials In Siam.
Mr.. Cheek a number of years ago
obtained q concession from the king to
farm out teak forest. In getting the
logs TO market they were foated
down rivers, and It was while he had
many thousands of them In the form OF
o raft that the logs were confscated by
representatives Of an English COM
pany.
Cheek had the stars and stripes
pinned to his RATS, and he called on
the American officials for assistance.
They failed to come to the rescue, the
logs were confiscated and Cheek ac-
cordingly sued the government for
damages.
The officials at Washington question
the right of Cheek to fly the American
flag in the situation he was then in.

and In lifesise busts, which the prince
has leflklsn evidence of his power and of
his indjastry.
On finding the decided bent Of his
daughters mind, he told her that II she
desired to work seriously, to undergo
the drudgerv and hard study indispen-

he would help her in every way; but
that he would not allow her to waste
her time by playing at art to the ex-
clusion OF other learning; in short, that
she must do her best to become true
artist or give 1t up.
Countess Feodore Gleichen chose the
harder but decidedly better part, and
she thereon began the routine Of work
and lessons in modelling in her fathers
studio, taking also drawing lessons,
and when only sixteen she exhibited in
the Grosvenor gallery the statuette of
a monk, which was her first piece of
sculpture, and for which she obtained
an order. A few months later she went
to Florence, not to study there, but to
see its galleries and art collections.
She joined the Slade school at the
age of seventeen, studying very hard
there under Prof Legros, having in
struction in all the different branches
of art, and also in coloring, for which

AN AGED PENSLONER.
Happy Declining Years Of a Street
Car Horse.
.Yanlee-Dago Has Out,ivcd Five Genera
lions OF Brother and Sister Car iIorscs
How ne Got HIS Two pecui-
lar Names.

There is horse on the North side
whom 1t would be hard to convince
that big corporations have no souls.
This horse, SO says writer in the Chi
cago Tribune, has two names, Yankee
and Dago, and he is the pensioned prop
erty OF the North Chicago Street Rail
road company. One does not have to
go far to find the reason for Yankee
Dago's present easy lot in life, nor when
found will It appear strange that even
street railroad company should do
something to ease the last years of so
intelligent and trusty servant.
William Burt, the barn foreman at
Elm and Clark streets, has been
Yankees intimate friend for twenty
years, and viii tell caller all about
the horse and give an introduction as
well, provided the old pensioner be at
home. He may be out calling himself,
for his big stall is always open, and
Yankee has forgotten hy this time the
feeling Of halter.
The average life of usefulness of q
street railroad horse Is four years.
Some by reason of exceptional strength
last little longer and some cannot
round out even that time, bat the aver
age holds good. -Four years is not long
enough for horse, especially when he
is only one of a Thousand, to endear
himself to the pensioning point to that
big body of stockholders who own
him. Yankee-Dago, however, out
lived Eve generations of brother and
sister car horses and did excellent serv-
Ice on the streets for twenty years. He
is now twenty-three years old and IS
enjoying his well-earned rest and oats
without being troubled with thoughts
Of having to pull on the morrow a
Larrabee street-car overfowing with
humanity bound to its early morning
work.
Foreman Burt gave the old pension
er the name of Yankee not long ago
