To put a scarfpin in a four-in-h hand, or,
worse still, in a butterfly tie, is absolutely
bad form. 1t is a case of merely vulgar
display. Four-in-hand scarfs will be worn
with small knots and large ends, and in
the best grades will not be made of satinS,
as these are apt to crush up.
"Colored shirts will be worn more than
ever this season, and with any coat, even
a Prince Albert. The most fashionable
patterns will run lengthwise. the cross
stripes having gone entirely out or been
consigned to the cheaper grade of shirts.
Shirts with collars attached are losing
favor, partly on account of the difficulty Of
getting them properly laundried at sum-
mer resorts and partly on account of the
inconvenience of carrying many of them,
this requiring special shirt trunk"
Men who would be well dressed must
say farewell to their razor-toed shoes, which
will be replaced this spring by the rounded
toe, not very wide, a happy medium, let
US hope. Tan shoes will be worn in greater
numbers than ever, and buttoned shoes for
men are a thing of the past. In patent
feathers fancy tops will be accounted not
in the best taste.
In the matter for hats, the announcement
is for spring Derbys of black or brown,
with low crowns, wide brims and f1attish
set. The fashionable silk hat will no longer
show the bell shape, but will be made with
tapering crown, a style that has not been
seen for years in this country. Soft hats
with low crowns, wide brims and little
variation in color from the pearls and
browns at present in style, will be much
worn. CLEVELAND MoFFETT.

vive the perils that surround the vines,
lying as they do, on the ground, threat
ened by every passing tread.
The blackberry and the raspberry are
near relatives of the strawberry, but in
stead of the seeds being imbedded in the
fleshy receptacle they surround it, each
seed in its separate covering. In the black
tacle, but in the case of the raspberries they
come away from it in a thin BILE shaped
mass, leaving the white "hull'' behind.
This much natural selection has done for
the rose family. Man, carrying the select
i've process still further, has differentiated
the varieties still more. He has even pro-
duced new varieties. The nut-bearing
almond, grated with the peach, has pro-
duced the nectarine, which is not nut
at all.
But it is among the roses proper that
artificial selection has produced the great
est number OF changes The varieties run
up into the hundreds. The roses in the
garden OF my neighbor, the poet, bear
scarcely any resemblance to the dog-roses
that find by the roadside. They are glo-
riouslv double; nearly all their stamens
have turned to petioles and they are
hundred fold more beautiful, more fra
grant. They do not reproduce their kind.
Left alone they will eventually revert to
primitive forms, but under mans fostering
care they have become more than ever
they could be by the wayside, things of
beauty and Joy.
Their meaning, their office is purely
esthetic., They crafty our love for the
beautiful.
And who shall say that the garden of my
neighbor, the poet, is less useful than that
of my neighbor, the farmer?

1t is not generally understood, even by

The general tendency this spring will be
toward coats with the waists cut lower, the

gushing mark. Some of them, wishing to
be different from the common herd, have
appeared on Fifth avenue with trousers
creased at the side; but this proves an un-
happy device, since it makes the legs look
fat and misshapen. So the ultras will 90

This new fad will be especially applied to

popularity this coming spring.

will be, for the most part, cut like ordinary
waistcoats, although some of them are
made with silk sleeves. 1t is needless to

to have separate pair of suspenders for

away. Then, having regulated the length
accurately, he is always sure that the legs
will hang properly.
Whoever wishes to be well dressed
should study what is becoming to him per-
sonally, regardless of the fashion. It is
amazing the bad taste shown by men in
ordering clothes. Tall, lean men are apt
to have weakness for stripes, and fat,
short men for checks whereas they should
exactly reverse the thing. Then, sallow-
faced men usually insist on wearing
browns the most unbecoming color they

TO BURN THE GARBAGE.
The Board of Supervisors PetitiOned to
Let the Privilege

A. E. Williams, G. P. Rixford and Wake
lee & Co. have petitioned the Board of
Supervisors to advertise for bids for the
sale of franchise for the cremation of the
city's garbage.
The petition recites that the present sys-
tenn of dumping garbage on vacant lands
is detrimental to the public health and the
garbage heaps are an eyesore to the COM
munity. Attention is called to the fact
that many Eastern cities burn their
garbage to great advantage and at a large
saving. The petitioners also say that the
garbage carts which carry the refuse
through the streets are unsightly and that
there is great danger that in times when
epidemics prevail contagion may be spread
by the droppings from the carts. The
carts, it is urged, also add to labor of
the Merchants Association in keeping the
streets clean.
The petitioners ask that the life of the
franchise be set at fifty years as a shorter
period would deter bidders from enterin g.
into competition inasmuch as a plant
adequate for the purpose would cost in the
neighborhood of $250,000.
They state that if the board will order
the bids they will enter into the competi-
ton.

BECAUSE MEN WON'T DANCE.
Hostess Is Anxious, but a Good Time Is
Coming Again.

Hostesses are beginning to complain
with bitterness of the difficulty of finding
men willing to dance. The complaint is,
of course, not new one. For several sea-
sons past men have shown an increasing
Discrimination to exert themselves in the
giddy valse or in the rather grim quad
rifle.
Yet girls continue to Glove the ball'' as
dearly as the young person in the poem.
What can be the reason?
Probably the boredom of the men is to
a considerable extent a mere affectation.
Young men are, as a rule, more self-con-
scious, more childishly affected than
young women. They are very nearly as
vain, sometimes far more so, and good
deal more foolish.
The consequence is that they are perpet
ually posing, and there are fashions in
poses as there are fashions in everything
else. At present it is the fashion to pose
as non-dancer. The whole thing is too
much trouble for the gilded youth. He is
worn to a thread with intellectual exer-
ton. Dancing is a frivolity beneath his
notice.
But, depend upon it, the fashion will
change. Dancing is not pastime that
will ever entirely die out. 1t has lasted too
long in various forms and the poses of the
silly young men cannot kill it.
For balls have attraction for them and
luey go 10 IneIl, InOuSn often not TO dance.
They go to sup and occasionally to fiirt, for
Sitting OUT is very popular pastime,
and many people fill up their cards with
the names of partners pledged to sit out
with them and do nothing else.
In quiet hooks and corners of pretty
house you will always find young people
ensconced, whether the band is playing
valse or whether it is not Only the
cotillon lures them on to the parquet, for
they are too modern to wish to miss the
chance of a pretty present.
We are nothing nowadays if we are not
greedy. We must have hot quails We
are no longer satisfied with ribbon or a
cracker. We want feather fans and brace
lets and diamond pins, and if we do not get
them we grumble, and declare we won't
play any more"
Some day, perhaps, we shall return to
simplicity. Then the young men will
dance every dance and the young maidens
will appear in white muslins, with flowers
in the hair. In the meantime, the philoso-
pher smiles and the anxious hostess is in
espair.-GentleWom

GOING TO THE ALMSHOUSE.
DESTITUTION OF A WOMAN WHO

HARRAssED BY A WOUND AND Pow
ERTY, SHE Is SEEKING
REFUGE.

After many years of disheartening battle
with the world-old and feeble-Mrs. Mel
lie E. Butler, an army nurse during the
Civil War and the widow of a Union sol
der, has decided that her only refuge DUR
ing her declining years is the Almshouse
She appeared at the Mayors office yester-
day and requested a permit to enter that
institution. A month ago a rebel bullet,
which had made her lame for the past
thirty years, was extracted from her leg by
a surgeon at the City and County Hospital.
When the Civil War broke out she was
a bright, handsome young woman, and like
many of her fair sisters in Boston, burn
ing to do something for the wounded SOL
diers of the republic who suffered for want
of care in the field hospitals of the South,
with two other young ladies she went to
the front and nursed the sick soldiers for
several m onths.
At Port Royal stray bullet pierced her
leg and she was compelled to give up her
chosen vocation. A patient in the hospital
named Butler had taken a deep liking to
his gentle nurse and when she left for her
home she had promised to become his
wife if he should return alive. When the
war was over they were united and moved
to Chicago, where they lived happily for
many years.
About three years ago her husband died,
leaving her in comfortable circumstances,
but misfortune and the dishonesty of a per-
son to whom she entrusted most OF her
funds for Investment left her practically in
poverty, and she was compelled to ask for
pension, receiving, after a long period of
waiting, pittance of $12 per month. With
what little money she had she came to
this coast four months ago, hoping to meet
friends who would assist her, but on ar
irving, discovered that they had left for
Australia.
Her wound, aggravated by the long
journey across the continent, broke out
afresh and she was compelled to go to the
hospital and have an operation performed
for its removal. Since then she has been
i'll, and her funds being entirely exhausted
and no pension money coming for some
time she is compelled to ask for place in
the city's refuge for the poverty stricken.

would gladly sacrifice that muscular strength for
the recovery Of still more precious element that

men who seem strong, vigorous, but who have
begun to fail in the force OF manhood, and who
would, in few years, on account of this treacher
