FASHIONS IN PARIS.
(From Harper's Bazar)

Paquin Is using the petits damages al
most entirely in the place of the mohalrs
of last year. Other good Paris dress
makers are making up what they call bure
for spring costumes-a stuff something be-
tween poplin and mohair.l There are love-
ly brown bures, made with accessories OF
batists; and privately, one reason why I
think brown is so fashionable this year is
that 1t is so pretty with the omni-present
batiste A lovely brown bure had very
snort, close bolcro made to meet one OF
the high centuries, or belts, that are seen
on almost all the new gowns the ceinture
made of black satin ribbon The brown
bure bolero was also bordered with black
satin ribbon. The front of the bodice I'M
der the bolero was of ecru embroidered
batiste as was also the wide collar that
came down in taperng points on either
side over the high black belt. The batiste
collar had flaring points of green velvet on
either side. Cloth gowns are made by
Raudnitz with batiste bodices as, for in
stance, an ecru or biscuit cloth skirt had
a corsage of fancy batiste and lovely
belt of gold These fancy belts are strik-
Ing features of new summer gowns, es-
pecially those made with stones to look
like old turquoise amulets. one sees the
open-work grenadines, basket-coths and
CLEANLINESS made over silks with the color OF
the SILK recalled In stones in the belt One
sees the same stuffs made up with lovely
broad ribbon repeating in its tones the col
ors In the material and the changeable
silk lining.

CHILDREN's COSTUMES.
(From Harper's BazarO

The shops are filled this year with the
most fascinating materials for girls
frocks. Challis in the Dolly Warden pat
terms, lowered dimities. colorcd piques
sheer lawns Of every color and design, or
CANDIES, and even linens and grass cloths,
are considered suitable for chidrcn's
wear, while in the wool goods there is an
endless variety
The challis are by many mothers prefer
red to silks for the old-fashioned idea
that silk Is material not to be worn by
a girl until she Is eighteen is not quite
done away with although fashion seems
to have changed lately. and the silks are
used in great quantities, the Pompadour
and Empire patterns and tho Dresden
flowers being preferred SIN, there are,
as has been said many women who pre-
fer to use challis for chldrcn's wear.
There are but two styles of skirts for
chldren's dresses. one Is made very full
and with no gorng. this Is sewed on to
the band i'm gathers. three rows of fine
shirring ensuring better hanging of the
skirt, and the fulness being kept as much
as possible to the back. Some very smart
French frocks have a perfectly circular
skirt, which of course hangs without any

ably around the bottom Rufies are
tabooed. and the skirt is finished with n
deep hem. Two Of WOOL with lace laid in

VERMONT'S FORESTS.

The efforts that are being made to pre-
serve those forest lands of Vermont that
have so far escaped destruction and to res
tore the timber which has been recklessly
destroyed. are deserving of success The
Green Mountain State can hardly hope
ever to become great agricultural State,
notwithstanding that the chief occupation
OF its people at present is farming Strip
the State of its forests and there would
be a lack of good farming lands. for
ploughng and planting on steep side hills
never did yield remarkably good results.
But there is a good prospect of Vermont
Increasing it's wealth and Importance by
preserving and fostering it's forest lands.
Under proper system Of forestry the val
lie of the numbering industries will be in
creased and at the same time the many
valuable water powers in the State. adap-
ted to manufacturing purposes, will be

Or take car. though not very far
To their homes with comforts mete.
Nansen's discovery will be in the shade
Whea Milton wakes up and sees a parade
OF workmen Fastening to the mill
Eager and bent on their Golfers TO fill.
From our summer resort on airy Snake
Hill,
We look on the bridge not far from the
mill.
We can see Miners Falls where they turn
out shawls;
With hustle and hustle and music to all.
Now don't get blue. our picture II come

A steam fire engine you then will see
Coming along and ringing it's gong,
Hurry out the way for me-"

The Milton brass band will play.

QUEER BLUNDERS OF GREAT
WRITER'S
(From the Youths Companion)

From the Youths Companion)
Shakespeare speaks of turkeys in plays
the times of which long antedate the inn
portation of the first turkeys from Amer
lea. In Henry "" the carrier complains
that the turkeys in my panier are quite
starved" though Henry ~ reigned a
hundred years before America was dis
covered. In Henry "" Cover says to
Fluellen, of Pistol, "Herc he comes, swell
Ing like turkey-cock."
Worse than these is the anachroism in
Julius Caesar" in which Brutus says to
Cassius, Count the clock" To which
Cassius replies. 1.-The clock hath stricken
three" Striking clocks were unknown in
Caesars time and for many centuries af-
terward.
A curious blunder was that of Chaucer In
his Court of Love" in which he says that
the throstle Sings so sweet tune that
Tubal himself, the first musician, could
not equal It," He meant Jubal; he had
forgotten his Bible.
A less excusable error OF time than
Shakespeare's, because IL belongs to u
period when authors had begun TO regard
such matters, Is made by Schiller, the
great German author, in his 'Piccolo-
MIMI" He speaks there of lightning
conductor" though the time or the piece
is at least $50 years before that invention

OLD AND NEW TRorrING RECORDS

The first kte-shaped track to command
general attention was built at Independ-
ence, Ia, in 1890 Its one long turn made It
considerably faster than the regulation or
oval track with two turns A kite record
therefore, is not valued as highly as a
regulation track record.
In July, 1892, the 2S-inch wheel, pneuma-
tic tire, of the bicycle, was applied to the
sulky, and 1t was quickly demonstrated to
be so much faster than the high wheel
sulky that its use Is now almost universal
1t Is rare to see a high-wheel sulky In a
race. As the bicycle is from four to five
seconds faster than the high wheel, re-
cord to that kind of vehicle ranks lower
than one made to the old-fashioned sulky.
Tho best record to high wheel sulky on n
regulation track Is the 2:0Sat of Maud S.
The best record to high wheel sulky on
