A Fine Programme Offered by the
Militant Band.


Nearly 5000 people assembled at the
Plaza last night to listen to the fine
concert given by the Militant Band un-
der the direction Of c. A. Neale. The
programme was a long one, but the
crowd staid till the last to enjoy it, in
spite Of the fact that the air was too
chilly to stand or sit still a long time
with comfort.
The opening number, "The Pride of
the Navy" by Major c. Hunt of San
Francisco, is a lively and inspiriting
one, with some excellent harmonies and
pretty baritone solo, and was loudly
applauded.
Conductor Neale's solo in the Mock
ing Bird" is no less a favorite than in
the past, and received an enthusiastic
encore. The new march, THE Great
Unknown" by E. E. Schnitz of the Co.
lumbia Theater, San Francisco, is a
very pretty thing and likely to become
a favorite.
The "Zuline Galop," piece composed
by Master Albert I. Elkus, a twelve
year-old boy Of this city, is a pretty lit
tie thing, and received it's need Of ap-
plause.

A Kennedy. the Australian hypnotist
and fun-maker. Mr.. Kennedy has
played recently remarkably success
full engagements in San Francisco and

statement Of the Bay press that he is
far and away the greatest mesmerist
who has visited the coast and is a king
or fun-makers. His methods are differ
ent from any ever employed here in
mesmerism. He is a natural humor-
ist and believes that to make people
merry with laughter is to do them es-
senual good. The power Kennedy has
over his subjects and the rapidity with
which he fixes" them in the hypnotic
state are declared to be simply wonder
full. In his matchmaking he does not
offend any one, we are assured, and
does no one any harm. His fun toward
the last grows absolutely furious, and
he carries the audience into a perfect
whirlwind of uproarious laughter and
manifestations Of merriment During

Perforated Sails.

An Italian sea captain. Clio Batta
Vassallo, of Genoa, has made very
interesting innovation in the use of
sails of ordinary sailing vessels. He
claims that the force of wind cannot
fully take effect in sail, since the Dir
in front of it cannot properly circu-
late in the inflated part, and remains
stationary Immediately in front of
rart OF the sail proper. He avoids
this stagnation of air, as he calls it,
by the application of number OF
small holes in that part of the sail
where the depression is deepest when
it is filled these holes are reinforced
like buttonhole so that they will
not tear out.
Trials made in various weather have
resulted as follows: With light wind
boat with Ordinary sails made four
knots, while the new sail increased the
speed to five and quarter knots. In
fresh breeze the respective speeds
were seven and eight and three-quar-
ter knots, and in strong wind they
were eight and ten knots per hour. 1t
stands to reason that the doing away
with layer of air, which cannot es-
cape past the sides OF sail, must in
crease the efficiency of the sailboat
Where the wind formerly struck
cushion of air, which acted like q
spring mattress, decreasing the nc.
tual pressure OF the wind against the
canvas, this current of Dir now strikes
the sail direct, and, of course, has IL
greater efficiency. Yassallo has re.
ceivel much encouragement from
practical sailors. as we'll as theoretical
scientists. Philadelphia Record.

BALLOoN SLEEVES RELAXING.

Commenting on this winters styles
for women, Boston Ideas says:
",5leeyes are still OF abnormal size,
but the fullness is more Mt the elbow,
and less stiGenlng is being used than
formerly. 1t will be some time yet
before women will accept the light
sleeve, although an attempt has been
made by some of the Partisan dress
makers. The extremely full sleeve
may so out OF style, but it does not
seem possible that the very ugly, per-
fectly plain, tight-itting sleeve will
ever be worn by the American wo-
mau."
What a problem it isl To combine
protection comfort and beauty in the
clothing of our bodies! But gradually,
it seems to us, Queen Fa ashion is sure
to adjust her august DEGREES accord
ing to the ideas of simplicity of form
and freedom to bodily movement. The
stid balloon sleeve is away from this
principle. Hence the stiff balloon
sleeve is likely to collapse in favor of
true lines of drapery. News of the
beginning of the end of the abnor-
mal-sized sleeves is good news. Path

Milk IS one Of the best foods that
can be given to fowls. In one sense
it is the very best, as it is complete
food; but its Sreat bulk is against it,
for 1t would be impossible 1or poultry

their appetite. Ii mus, therefore, be

While sweet whole milk is to be pre-

also valuable. Tao objection to milk
as u substitute for meat is its undue

that it will require seven pounds OF

Buttons are sometimes studded with

Some of the most beautiful buttons
manufactured now are of tortoise shell.
Both the amber -colored and the brown
shell are used.
Queen Anne combs arc broad in
shape and exceedingly becoming to
some heads. They are found in many
quaint designs.
Hairpins promise to have great
sale. The fashionable designs approach
the dignity of comb rather than an
ornamental hairpin.
The excessive use of fancy buttons
continues, and there is no material,
apparently, too costly or too bizarre
to he called into use.
Muffs OF velvet TO match the hat are
very fashionable with any costume,
and they are made round or fiat, as

The newest capes are cut pointed in
front, with long stole erds and short
on the shoulders, and are suggestive
of the Marie Antoinette style.
Sealskin is used for trimming all
shades of brown and russet. Bright
