Boston Aeronautical Society, organ
lied 1895, has chosen Professor Will
lam b. Pickering, of Harvard Obser-
vator, President. For several months
fortnightly meetings have been held,
and at these meetings papers treating
of aeronautical subjects have been read

Preparations are being made for
interesting experiments. The objects
of the society are to encourage exper-
iment with aerial machines and to
disseminate knowledge concerning the
great problem Of aerial navigation.
Among other things, the society has
undertaken to encourage the fascinat.
ing study OF scientific kite designing
and the delightful sport of kite flying.
The society wishes to circulate its
notices and reports from time to time
and it therefore requests all who are
in any way interested in this subject,

FRANCES DRINK BILL.

A statistician has been at the trouble to as
certain what quantity of|wine, cider or alco-
holic spirits is consumed annually by each
inhabitant Of France. During the last year
nearly 1900, 900, 900 lirres of grape Juice was
drunk, which averaged 112 Iitres per person.
A litre is more than quart.
Paris heads the list, with the average Of
264 litres citizen, while in the Department
OF the Var they are only one quart less On
the contrary, wine imbibing has fallen very
low indeed in the Orne Department, where
each man, woman or child Is put down for
only seven litres in the year, and none ofthe
northwestern districts show q much better
record. But here they make up in the con-
sumption Of cider for what they have failed
TO accomplish with the wine cup.
The Manche Department comes out first,
with the very respectable total Of 419 'litres
OF cider for each inhabitant, and all along
the Normandy coast and toward the Belgian
frontier the average remains at very high
figure. On the other hand, there are thirty
five Departments in France where no cideris
drunk at all. ComIngto the spirit drinking,
each inhabitant is represented as disposing
OF about four litres and third in the course
Of twelve months.

and will be dead in few minutes" said
Mrs. Maggie David, as she staggered across
her scantily furnished apartment and, pick
ing up her thirteen-mo onths-old child from
the bed, she pressed it to her breast and,

pint Of beer at his elbow when she staggered
into the room, declaring that she had swal-
lowed poison. he ran into the hallway and
some one told him to go for doctor. Mrs.
David was dead in the chair {when he re-
turned. One Of the neighbors had taken the
baby from the arms Of the corpse.
At 9 o'clock last night the body Of Mrs.
David was still seated almost bolt upright In
the chair where she died. David was sober
and sat on the foot Of the bed staring vacant
ly at the face Of his dead wife. The baby and
an Older child were in bed asleep.
David Is flower cutter. Recently he has
been unable to make more than 80 or 80 q

DEEP DESIGNING BIZ N11L1NERs.
Women are really becoming artistic
in their millinery. The woman who
gives even little thought to her hats
usually succeeds in accomplishing one
that will artistically harmonize with
several gowns, blend exactly and
eharmingly with one and serve by way
of piquant contrast with another.
Such q hat, for instance, is thin,
loosely woven shaving chip of o soft,
elusive green that shows touch of
gray and rose. It is a Napoleon
shape. A tall bunch of rose.cerise
loops and knot of violets make all
the trimming except for buckle of
emeralds. This hat is planned for

shades cerise and violet. 1t goes
equally we'll with blue gown, which
takes tlnge that harmonizes it at once
with the violets in the hat, and which

MISSES SHIRT WAIST WITH PLAIN FROM

Manton, is chosen for this dressy
shirt waist, which is arranged in a
style very becoming to young misses.
A band of embroidered insertion con-
ceals the closing in centre front, and
the turn over collar and cuffs are of
fine, white linen. The full fronts
are gathered at the shoulders, neck
and lower edges, and droop in French
pouch or blouse style over the belt.
The back is gathered at the neck and
waist line, where the fullness is massed
in centre. The lower edge extends to
basque length, and is worn under the

lapels that meet the rolling collar in
notches. Three small buttons dec
crate each lapel and the edges are
finished with stitching in tailor style.
The back is glove-ftting, the usual
seams performing the adjustment to
the waist line, below which double
plaits laid in extensions at each seam
give the desired fashionable fullness.
The modishly smart gigot sleeves have
the fullness displayed in double rows
of shirring at the top, dropping to the
elbow in stylish wrinkled puffs.
The skirt is only moderately full
and therefore commended for summer
wear. It displays the fashionable
rippled sides with gored front breadth
and measures only four yards around
the foot. The back breadth is straight
and falls with graceful effect from
gathers at the top. A row of stitch
ing beyond he'seam gives strapped
effect to the front gore. This style is
deservedly popular and more attrac-
tive or useful costume cannot be made
for seaside, mountain or general
weather. Serge, cheviot, tweed,
cloth and other woolens combine we'll
with silk, satin or batiste for the vest
front.
