HINTS IN MILLINERY.

The Napoleonic craze is about ended
and the Dutch bonnet is thing Of
the past. The majority will be glad
of this, for it was only the small mi
nority who could becomingly wear
either. The principal tendency OF
the new hats is toward higher crowns,
and they vary in outline, to be desig-
mated as the "Pierrot," "jampot' and
"pottle" crowns. The first is point.
ed, the second flares, and the third
widens from the crown to the brlm.
The low crown and flat brim OF the
summer shape will not be entirely
abandoned either.
Many Of the new shapes show crowns
of silk plush, with brims OF braided
effects or of felt, and in the new i'm
ported walking hats are seen "pottle"
crowns and wide, rolling brims made
entirely OF the silk plush, with Sc
we're trimming of fiat crown-band,
with loops and quills at the lett side.

body, which is an additional adVan-
tape to women who affect the wearing
of the belt.
Gold and silver spangled belts are
universally popular snd are worn with
the more pretentious gowns. One
seen in the shops is fashioned OF SILK
webbing and is thickly studded with
the metal disks. An attractive rhine.
stone buckle OF one of imitation jewels
closely resembling the real is the
proper fastening. Buckles play no
unimportant part in the disposition OF
the belt and odd hooks are a feature.
There seems to be an earnest effort
on the part of Dame Fashion to revive
the peasant gir6le, and the various In
noyations she is making are but step
ping stones in this direction.
With cheviot or wood fabrics OF O
heavy order leather belts, either suede
or kid, may be worn with propriety:
For silken bodice and crepon skirt
choose a metal belt. If your dress IS
O. some soft material, which hangs IN
graceful changing folds, make yourself
6ewitching in seven-inch girdle:
which gives you apparent length OF
limb and svelte figure. Much in
dividuality may be expressed by the
young woman who pays attention to
the minor details of capricious styles
and whose fancy has opportunity tor
display in collecting her belts for fall
wear. Fancy may run riot with her
better Judgment in this instance, but
it is permissible.
Belts are pretty, and, despite any
controversy as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
wearing them from a hygenic stand
point, are going to obtrude them
selves upon us wherever opportunity
is offered. They are becoming & to
most women, and for that reason alone
they will assume the right of way.
No young womon is in the swim un-
less she numbers three dozen belt
buckles in her collection. Belts are
more necessary now than ever before,
for basques are an obsolete fashion,
and all bodices terminate at the waist
line, which fact makes the introduc-
tion ofgirdles imperative. All women
agree on the one point, that belts tend
to make stout women less emphati-
callv so, and slender women like them
because they realize the proportions
between the size Of the waist and
hips.

The child was produoed-a girl about
6 years Of age, with delicate face,
every line Of which was tinged with
traces Of apparent refinement. A muir
mur of admiration passed through the
courtroom, and every eye was turned
upon Jack BoWdoin. He looked at the
child, held out his hand to her, and she
ran to him as though she had known
him always.

me that you've got the heart to send

speech, and the Judge administered the
usual perfunctory rebuke. Then, turn

GREATEST BABE LIVING.
Unique Daily Life Of the Infant Heir
to Great BritaIn's Throne.

W OIcdC oE1LdAA AhEOhCs
The greatest baby in the world is
now about one year old. The name
of this baby is Edward. He is His
Royal Highness the Prince Edward OF
York, heir to the throne of an empire
on which the sun never sets, and he is
now cutting his teeth.
His Royal Highhess lives either at
York House, st. James, London, or at
White Lodge, seat of the Tecks. A
description of his personal appearance
is now on file in the royal archives OF
the Tower of London, and he has been
photographed 100 times. These de-
tails are not triHes. They are part
of the history of the British Empire.
The Prince has blue eyes. His hair
is not scanty by any means, and he is
rather fat, as will be seen from the ac-
companying picture OF him, which is
the one hundred and ninth OF His
Royal Highness. and the very --latest.
He has a nursery of the most severely
plain character, and, although his
little life is ono long uninterrupted
ceremony, etiquette requires that the
plainest of baby accessories shall sur
round him. He is under the tutelage
of one Nine. Buika, whom all England
knows as the confidential companion
of the Princess May before her mar.
riage. This Mile. Buiks has naturally
an enormous responsibility.
His Royal Highness is already q
General, q Colonel, High Sheriff and
a patron. He is q Keeper of the Seals
and an Imperial Usher. he is already
entitled to put G. @. NJ. j., Q. q. ]. s.
I. and ever so many other letters after
his name, and he is a member OF the
House of Lords.
When the baby awakes in the morn
ing he holds levee. The royal code
says So, His Highness will be attend
ed by the lady in waiting, who takes
his commands. This means that she
will wash and dress him. BE must
never have anything on him that is
red-anything, that is, in the shape OF
clothing. His attire must be invaria-
bly, white. This is because he is O
Prince of York, and there is royal
rule connected with the Wars Of the
Roses that forbids his assumption OF
the red until he is five years old. He
may not wear black shoes until he is
three, and in public sash must in
variably be around his waist. Under
no circumstances is he to be addressed,
even playfully, by anyone except his
parents. Queen Victoria herself is not
at liberty to say "you" to him. 1t
must always be ''His Highness seems
WE'LL" or ellis Highness sleeps" In
fact, it is His Highness this and His
Highness that all the time.
Only blood relative may hold him
in her arms, with the exception OF
Mile. Buika, who has received royal
patent for the purpose. Even the
physician who attends him must re-
ceive royal patent before beginning
to physic this babe. Every article OF
attire he wears must bear the royal
arms worked by hand in silk, and he
may not wear the same article twice
in succession. It must be washed be-
fore it goes on again.
His Highness travels by special train.
He has six equerries and q gentleman
usher of the black rod. He receives
invitations to all royal and state func-

tions, and is always represented al
them by one of these equerrles.
On state occasions the Prince is ar
rayed in cloth of gold. His head IS
covered by crown of starched and
pilded linen. He is then carried by a
royal lady in waiting: That means
that 5hoever carries this babe must
have royal blood in her veins. An
other curious thing about the Prlnce
is that no more than four per sons may
be in his nursery at any one time.
When he is attired in royal robes the
peers must kneel to kiss his hand on
entering his presence. OF course no
hats NAV be worn in his presence. In
York House Mrs. Gladstone had to
take her bonnet off before entering
his nursery.
Wien Il. R. H. is asleep flag floats
from hisresidence. When he is awake
the flag IS taken down. When he
leaves his home the flag is hung out
of the window Of his nursery.
Another unexpected thing IN the
life of the Prince is the extreme. pub

his coming is proclaimed. Lots OF

THE belt Of the autumn girl is

Gle of her raiment, says the
New York World. English women are
prone to belts, and Americans are An
glomaniacs by nature. therefore they
are following the fashion with vim set
by their sisters across the water. The
big stores are exhibiting many new
and very striking designs in belts. The
ingenuity and originality is surpris-
ing, and one wonders what next may
seize the feminine fancy and deplete
the feminine purse.

A Remarkable Toad.

In Surinam there is q remarkable
toadlike creature, the female Of which
carries her young in a series OF cells
in the thick skin of the back, which
assumes o strange honey-comblike ap-
pearance. When this lady toad is car
rying her nursery about with her, she
is a very repulsive looking object.
Single handed she would be quite un.
able to cope with the important ques-
tion of placing eggs where they will
be most favorably disposed for hatch
ing, and for this she has to rely on
the good services :!of her mate. Soon
after the eggs are laid they are taken
up by the male and pressed. one by
one, into the cells in the thickened
skin of his partners back. There they
grow until they fit closely to the hex.
sgonal form Of their prisons. each OF
which is closed above by kind OF
trap door.
After period of some eighty-two
days the eggs reach their full devel-
opment and produce, not tadpoles,
but actually perfect little toads. The
reason of this. is that the tadpoles,
which require to breathe the air dis.
solved IN the water by means of their
external gills, could not exist in the
cells, and consequently this stage OF
development is passed through very
rapidly within the egg. In due time
the young toads to the lumber OF
eighty or 100 burst open the lids OF
their cells, poke out their noses and
make their entrance into the world.
The mother toad rubs off the remains
of the cells against any convenient
stone or plant stem and comes out in
a brand new spring suit. knowledge.

A Pitiiul Case.

At Topeka, Kan, few days ago a
man buried his dead child in the back
yard and was arrested for the offense.
The preliminary trial developed the
fact that the father was unable to find
employment, and that when the child
died tbs family was starving and the
entire household possessed but forty
ce-ts. The court decided that no
crime had been committed and the
body was removed to a cemetery. The
