FASHION NOTES.
Hats in Small Sizes.

It would seem that the mems appeal for smaller headgear for women in the playhouse and concert room had been heard and answered favorably, for all theater hats and bonnets are and have been for some time of the smallest size But for the women who don't go to the theater often enough to make theater bonnet desirable, the large hats trimmed with dropping plumes are much favored, because they can serve acceptably both outdoors and in. One of these is shown herewith, in black felt with a rolled brim. It Is trimmed with watered silk loops and two ostrich plumes.

The managers of the railroads run hing into Chicago are determined to stop gambling and drinking among their men. There is no doubt that much of the encouragement given to the mobs during the late strike came from trainmen who spent their time off duty in the stock yard saloons. The Chicago and Alton was the first company to notify its employees that they would be discharged if seen going into either saloons or gambling houses when on or off duty. The same regula- ton was afterwards made by the Chica- go and Eastern Illinois, and the Chicago and Great Western has gone a step further and forbidden it's men to board at places to which a bar is attached This rule is in the interest of economy as well as that of good morals It is the custom for keepers of boarding houses near the railroad yards to fur nish trainmen with meals in exchange IVP olNclS pH IAS "DAiAPSAiJ' "AiSAi IL bona fide, are always honored before payment of the mems wages. Where the proprietors had bars in their places 1t was noticed that their claims often came to more than the sums due the men for wages.

The Chinamen in Australia know what they want in a wife. This is the way they write to matrimonial agent In Hong Kong: T want a wife. She must be maiden under twenty years of age and must not have left her fathers house. She must also have never read book, and her eyelashes must be half an inch in length. Her teeth must be as sparkling as the pearls of Ceylon. Her breath must be like unto the scents of the magnificent odor- ous groves of Java, and her attire must be from the silken weavers of Kala- ching, which are on the banks of the greatest river in the world-the sover- flowing Yangtsekiang.

The great ordnance survey map of England, containing over 10S000 sheets and costing during the last twenty years about a million dollars a year, is nearly completed. The scales vary from 10 to feet to the mile for the towns, through 25 inches, 6 inches, 1 inch, A inch and 1-10 inch to the mile. The details are so minute that the 25 and 6 inch maps show every hedge, fence ditch, wall, building and even every isolated tree in the country. The 25-inch map shows in colors the mate rial of which every part of building Is constructed. The plans show not only the exact shape of every building, but every porch, area, doorstep, lamp post, railroad and fire plug.

THE CRYSTAL PALACE.

England is in danger of losing building
in which all the civilized world has an in
Teresa According to the London Chronicle
the Crystal Palace at Sydenham has proven
unremunerative of late years and as the
development of rapid transit from London
has made the site valuable for suburban
residences, the proprietors are talking of
tearing the palace down, dividing the park
into small lots and selling it.
The chief interest in the Crystal Palace
lies in the fact that it is the first great
building of iron and glass ever constructed
in the world. 1t stands therefore as a
monument of the beginning of line of
architecture distinctively modern, which
has since been developed in SO many forms
in every civilized country and promises
to be the dominant architecture of the
future. In addition to this, it has the ae-
cidental interest of having served to house
the exhibits of the first worlds exposition.
and has therefore double value from an
historic point OF view.
When the Crystal Palace was suggested
by Joseph Paxton as possible building
for the first universal exposition in Lon
don, 1t was ridiculed. Paxton was neither
an architect nor an engineer and the digni-
taries of both professions scoffed at his

FRUIT SUPPLY RUMORs.

With the approach of the fruit season
come the first of the reports which are cir
culated every year concerning the condi-
ton of the crop and the amount of stock
left over from last year. These reports in
many instances are undoubtedly intended
to affect the market price and always have
more or less influence in that way. For
tunately one set of reports are almost inn
mediately contradicted by another set, for
the effect of each is thus largely counter
acted and the unwary are saved from put
ting too implicit reliance upon either.
An illustration of these contradictions
was found in the dispatches of yesterday.
One report, contributed to the New York
Journal of Commerce, stated that supplies
of apricots ON the Pacific Coast are known
to be large at primary points and liberal in
distributive markets. This statement
was Contradicted in another dispatch on
the authority of one of the largest dealers
on the coast, who estimated that the en-
tire supply in California at the present
time would not exceed seventy-five car
loads. Well informed men know which OF
these two reports is most likely to be cor
rect, but great many people do not and
as a result some of the unwary may be led
to sell at prices which are far below the
real value of the goods.
The evil effects of this confusion of re-
ports are more likely to be experienced by
the growers than by members of any other
branch of the fruit industry. They are
less able to obtain information for them
selves and are more readily confused by
the multiplicity of contradictory rumors.
This is one of the strongest inducements
for cooperative effort. Through State ex-
changes information can be obtained much
more accurately and much more compre-
hensively than individuals can get it. In
that way the growers can find some sure
knowledge to guide themselves through
the mutual contradictions of bulls and bears
and obtain for their crops price common
surate with their value in the market OF
the season.
AS a general rule, therefore, the fruit
growers Of California should cooperate
through the State or their county ex-
changes as far as possible and should
avoid making contracts in advance. 1t is
far too early i'll the season to determine
what the prices will be when the fruit is
ripe. They ought to be good. There is
certainly not much dried fruit in this State
left over from last year. If the fruit
growers then will act together and stand
firm without regard to rumors and reports.
they ought to have prosperous year be-
fore them,

idea as that of an Impractical amateur.
He was, however, neither Impractical nor
an amateur. AS a professional gardener,
he had erected large floral conservatory
for the Duke of Devonshire, and he knew
as no other man of his time the wonder
full possibilities of structure that lay in the
use of iron and glass, and fortunately he
was able to induce the managers of the ex-
position to adopt his plans.
1t is worth noting that his success was
due to purely fortuitous circumstances.
No method of speedy travel on city streets
was known at that time. A suburban ex-
position was therefore impossible, for the
people could not have reached it. Hyde
Park was the only ground available in the
city, but the park was covered with noble
trees and the city authorities would not
consent that the trees should be cut down.
No other architect could solve the diff
Guilty. Paxton's bold and original scheme
of constructing vaulted roof of glass over
the tops OF the trees was therefore accepted
OF necessity. 1t proved to be the most ad-
mlred feature of the exposition and served
to direct the attention of men to the use of
IRON In architecture, and thereby began the
movement in that direction which has had
such vast results in our time.
Removed from Hyde Park to Sydenham
at the close of the exposition, the Crystal
Palace has been ever since one of the most
popular pleasure resorts in London. Con-
structed of the frailest of building ma
terlals and serving as a palace for the
people instead of for kings, it affords a
marked contrast to the Oldest extant archi-
lecture, that of the pyramids. The one
appears as symbol of modern civilization;
bright, beautiful, full of sunshine and open
for the delight of all. The other dark,
gloomy, oppressive, serving only as tom b
for kings, seems also a symbol of the des-
potism of the past. 1t would have been
well could this first Crystal Palace have
been preserved as a type of the long en-
during civilization of the people, but it
seems that this is not to be. The palace of
sunshine goes down before the rapidly adj
vancing city, while the pyramids of des-
potism stand secure amid the isolation of
the desert for a thousand years to come.

City Hall Commissioners Make Small
Progress With 1t.
Though the Board of City Hall Commits
sioners has made many attempts to find
out the exact composition of the white
metal which the contract of f. Marion
Wells to construct the statue for the new
City Hall tower calls for, they have thus
far been unsuccessful.
Architect Shea had samples on hand at
yesterdays meeting, but was unable to tell
exactly what they contained.
Mr.. Wells explained that white metal
was made up of anthony, zinc and tin,
but that there was no exact formula for
the mixture, the cost being large if great
deal of tin is used and small if antimony
predominates.
The Mayor suggested that the figure
should be gilded; but the cost of such an
undertaking weighed against it in the
minds of the Commissioners.
Mr.. Wells explained that his casts were
about finished and that he would like to
have the members decide on some metal
before long, SO that he could get the mat
ter off his hands. The committee agreed
to give the matter full consideration at the
next meeting.
