The channels between the keys, which are to be bridg- ed. vary in width from an eighth of a mile to five miles. the widest being at Bayou Hundia. In these channels the water is only three to four feet deep, and this shallowness sinplilie,s the prob lem of engineering. The islands are fiat and offer every advantage to cheap and easy railroad building. The permanent cy of the work on this seni-marine rail- way is insured by the great coral reef running northward at a distance of ten miles from the keys. This reef protects the keys from the action of the ocean currents and leaves the water surround ing them continually calm.

4 TOM4N,S EYGHT

Women the world over will take in
 terast in the fight which a woman who lives in one of the suburbs of Chicago is making. She is Miss Florence King, and she is a lawyer. Ia 1872 .he legis- lature of Illinois threw open to women all occupations and professions by a brief statute, which is as follows: "No person shall be preeluded or debarred from any occupation, profession CT eIn- ployment (except military on account of sex; provided, that this act shall not be construed to affect the eligibility Of any person to an elective office Un- der this law many women have been admitted to the bar, and have made a very creditable record as lawyers. Hav- ing attained a certain distinction as practitioners, it is but natural that they should seek higher honors and in dulge in the laudable ambition 10 sit upon the bench. Miss King is indulg- ing in that ambition. Edison Park. where she lives, has just been incor- porated as a village, and officers are now to be elected. Miss King desires to be a justice of the peace and police

THE MAY0R,s 1DDHEss.


 Mayor Hendricks address to the Court of Common Council is long one, but there is much that is worth atten- ton in it. For instance, his recommen- dation that a public hospital for conta- gious and infectious diseases be estab- lished; his criticism of the Police de- partment; his expert advice concerning the Fire department; his sensible and conservative words concerning street widening and extension; his equally sensible and conservative words con- cerning street pavements; his admirable suggestions concerning the defects in the financial system of the city; his very true and timely remarks concerning the appointment of special constables; and his advice that free bath houses be es- tabiisfed in convenient places And when these good points made by the mayor have been considered some of those contained in the division headed Miscellaneous" may well be noticed He speaks for the public good when he says that greater advancement should be made in improving our old and worn- out brick sidewalks; that Prospect street should in the near future be made an attractive avenue leading to and be- yond the city line to East Rock park; that the mayor should have sufficient power by the charter to effectually end all chances for deadlocks occurring in any of the municipal boards of the city pay their proportion of taxes for the support of the city government should be protected, if possible, from the tramp merchant by some form of taxation; that the power invested in the Civil Ser vice commission is too limited, and should be so extended as to include all appointments and promotions in the Fire and Police departments; that off, cers and members of the Police and Fire departments should not be retired or pensioned so long as they are capa- ble of performing some duty of light character.
 The address as a whole is unusually interesting and instructive. It shows that the mayor has carefully studied the affairs of the city, that he is an original thinker, and that he is not afraid to say what he thinks.

4 NICE OUESgYOS.

That is a rather nice question which the Women's Christian Temperance Union of Kentucky has raised. A fine young lady of Kentucky, gifted with a sense of the fitness of things, who has been picked out to christen the United States battleship named for that State, made the remark that if she had her way she would break bottle of old Bourbon over the ships prow when the time comes for her to name the ship. This was published all over the country. Presently Secretary Herbert in Wash ington got letter from the Kentucky State executive committee of the w. c. T. U., protesting against the use of whisky, and asking that only clear wa ter be used in christening the battle ship. The secretary has now sent a let ter in reply, assuring the women that the battleship will not be christened with whisky. The secretary says the builders usually choose the fluid used in christening the ship, and that it is his opinion that champagn will be used.
 It is difficult to see how the cause of temperance would be injured by throw ing away either bottle of old Bourbon or champagne at the naming of the ship, though it may be fairly claimed that it would be recognizing the stuff to so use 1t. Of course, water will not be used as the women suggest. That would be too great departure from tinle-honored custom. Perhaps if the women would suggest strong tea there might be compromise on that.

FASHION NoTES.
With Two Manly Pockets.

The rage for lace does not abate and with the open-over-petticoat style of skirt comes a demand for ornamenting the petticoat that brings into use the festocning and draping of lace so much in vogue among our ancestors, Pretty trimmings are made for elaborate bod ices by sewing lace insertion lightly on gold braid. Then cut cut all but the design of the lace--that is, cut away all the net. That leaves the design on the gold. The effect is very good, especially as lace that is not at all fine cuts out this way, to seem very beautiful with the glint of gold showing through. On

Black taffeta is the material. the bod ices plain back being laid in pleats front and back being in one piece. The plain stock collar is finished with a white chiffon ruche and jabot, and the skirt is untrimmed, but is nevertheless a novelty, as it has a pocket cut into the stuff at either side.
 Black is very widely worn, and black satin or silken material made with sat in finish is used more than anything else for dressy wear. It is fashion that should be welcome, too, for if not subjected to strain and if properly cared for, satin keeps its freshness charming ly and always has a distinguished ef- feet if worn in the right place. When the black goods is satin, the demand that chiffon shall be in the combination seems unrelenting. A handsome result of this was black satin dress with the bodice bloused over with gold spangled black chiffon. A fan of this same chif- fon was set on one side of the skirt, the chiffon being gathered close under a golden ornament at one hip and spread ing wide to the hem of the gown. While there was nothing startlingly new about it, it was dress that would be counted as particularly handsome anywhere.
 The black bodice and broeade skirt, the latter showing it's touch of black, is most becoming. Height is given by the brocade's stripping, and slenderness at the waist by the black of the bodice Black is so becoming that it should be put as near the face, arms and neck as possible. Then brocade lasts well and the elaboraten of design and color makes 1t secure against marring

''Hang Theology" Rogers, rector of St. Botolph's, Bishopgate, who died re- gently at seventy-seven, had been for over fifty years at work in London. He was the pioneer of the philanthropic work in the East End, whereshe was very popular. He got his nickname from crying out at School Board meeting where the discussion of econ- omic and religious questions prevented progress: Hang economy! Hang theology, Let US begin!" A character istic story is told of him as boy by the late Lord Iddesleigh. A new boy came to school dressed in light blue jacket faced with velvet, white trousers and waistcoat, and turned-down col lar and frills. Rogers went up to him and asked him his name. The boy re- piled: T am Charles Stuart Vane, Wis count Seaham, and my father is the Marquis of Londonderry" Whereupon Rogers kicked him three times, once for Vane, once for Seaham and once for Londonderry.

Miss Annie Dennis, of Talbotton, Georgia, has apparently discovered the secret for which many agriculturists are looking, that of making farming pay. She owns a handsome estate of 1000 acres, which she cultivates with great skill and success. Upon it she conducts a dairy, a stock farm, cannery, a pre- serving establishment, a vineyard and wine distillery, and a piggery. Each of these is prosperous to a high degree. The owner is public-spirited and exhib- its her products at every fair and expo- sition. She began this work in 1888 and in seven years has carried off nearly 100 prizes. She makes a special study of the application of science, particularly chemistry, to her fields of industry and a1ti1izes every new idea which appears.
