Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,
contributes to The Century a paper
entitled "Places In New York" in
which she gives a picture of inter.
esting phases of life in the new
world metropolis. Mrs. Van Rens.
selaer says: More than rs per cent
of those who people New York to
day were born of foreign mothers,
more than 40 per cent were born on
foreign soil themselves, and many
of these aliens, brought from many
different lands, continue here to
live in clusters with their own kin
after their own kind. Yet, while
each OF these clusters and each of
their wandering offshoots modifes
the new world metropolis, all of
them together do not destroy it's
cohesion. They simply intensity its
curious composite sort of personal
ity. They make it simultaneously Iii.

Poor babyl Your pity goes
out to it and rightly. To be
thin, for a baby, is to be de-
prived of its natural ease; to
suffer and not be able to feel
it; to wear a sad pinchedface;
to live on the edge of sick
ness; to grow imperfectly;
and to lose the power Of re-
sisting disease. Whena baby
is thin it needs more fat than
it gets from its food: it is
starved, fat-starved. SCOTS
Emulsion is the easiest fat
it can have; the fat it needs.

mind since that time"
Touching this subject the Sentinel
editorially says:
The Legislature is not treating the
pass question as it should. There is
no doubt i'm regard to public opinion
on the subject, and 1t is obviously the
duty Of the members to conform to
the wishes of the people. A fair and
full expression Of public sentiment
has been obtained, as was recited in
the resolutions introduced by As
sembIymun Hall. There is a popu-
lar demand for law prohibiting the
acceptance Of passes by public Off
cinls from corporations. 1t is not a
political question. Both republicans
and democrats should respect the
wishes Of the majority Of their con-
stituents.
We do not think the Legislature
can afford to take any other course
than that of devising the most effect
i've means of providing remedy for
the pass evil that IS so universally
condemned. The action Of the mem
bers will be closely scrutinized by
many people in the state during the
consideration Of this subject. 1t will
be very plain in the course of the
discussion how our public servants
attend to the business which is close
to the hearts Of the people.
From the poll Of the members OF
the senate and assembly, on the
question, it looks very much a. If the
great majority Of them would like to
dodge the issue. They will not be
able to do so.

Entitled to the Prize.

Some years ago there lived in Eng.
land a certain bishop who was extreme.

pie the evil of doing wrong. AS they
never seemed to do aught but wrong in
the worthy mans opinion, it some
times became irksome to these people
10 hear him constantly admonishing
them to do right. One of the bishops
habits was to visit the miners Il short
distance from his city, and his presence
grew familiar to these toilers. During
one of his calls he found a group of
them talking together, and after few
preliminary words on his customary
subject of doing right, he asked them
what they were talking Of

The bishop was duly surprised, and
read the men lecture in which he
spoke of how strongly the .offense of
lying had been impressed upon him
when he was young, and how he had
never told lie in the whole course of
his life. He had hardly finished when

COVERS FOR WHEELS.

Bicycles are so generally used now
ndays that they are zone of the
family" OF course, they must be
cared for. So the new fad is bicycle
cover, embroidered. The wheel is
often left standing in halls and
kitchens, and unless it is covered soon
gathers dust, to the detriment of the
machinery and perhaps the ruin of
some of the delicate parts. The wo-
man of taste does not like to see her
bicycle covered with an ugly plain
cloth, but at the same time objects to
seeing it uncovered and exposed to
the thousand ills that are ever lying
in wait for it. What does she dop
She obtains cover that is handsomely
embroidered and is at once an object
of beauty and a protection to the ma.
chine that has become her alter ego.
The favorite bicycle cover is of
brown holland, open at one side, with
string to draw the opening together.
In the corners of the cover are en-
broidered sprays of flowers, leaves or
any other design that may please the
owner. They are not necessarily
floral, but they always must be pretty.
The enthusiastic bicyclist will not
tolerate anything that is not pretty

NOVELTIES OF THE HOUR.

Stock collars made of outstanding
tails are novelty of the hour. With
them are sold muffs made entirely of
tails and lined with the same color
velvet used for the foundation of the
stock. The Victorine, that quaint
collarette with long stole ends, is but
little worn this year. This may be
because last season it was regarded as
one of the novelties. Collarettes are
quite as much in vogue as they were
last season, only they have changed q
tride in shape. Moufllon in delicate
gray shade makes most becoming
collarette. 1t is particularly soft and
pretty, with high gray chiffon, &C.

THE QUEEN AT WORSHIP.

At thanksgiving service held in
Clapham Congregational Church, Lon
don, to commemorate the blessings
which by Gods bounty have been con-
ferred on the British Nation during
Queen Victoria's reign, DR.. Guinness
Rogers contrasted the present condi-
tions of life with those of sixty years
ago. He paid high tribute to the
Queens wisdom, tact, loyalty, devo-
tion. lofty character and benefcent in
fuence, and expressed fervent hope
that by Gods blessing her reign might
be long prolonged. incidentally, DR..
Rogers made a personal allusion which
made deep impression on his hearers.
Some years ago, he said, he was staying
in Scotland, and attended service at
the little unpretentious Presbyterian
kirk at Crathie, where the Queen wor-
ships when at Balmoral. Occupying

THE cAPRIoEs OF FASHION.

1t is remarkable how easily we be.
come accustomed to the caprices of
fashion, and how quickly every ves-
tige of the beauty and attractiveness
OF certain modes and outlines vanishes
when once the ruling queen of style
has frowned upon it. Already, for
instance, do we see here and there a
"balloon" sleeve which looks mon
strous and ridiculous beside the trim,
taut little styles that took its place;
and heavy and cumbersome do the
over-full godet and ripple skirts ap-
pear contrasted with the new graceful
models of more normal moderate di-
mensions. And ever thus has it proved
since fashion first began her dominat-
ing sway in the feminine world.
Taken as n whole, the prevailing
styles for the winter are very near
perfection, with nothing excessive ap-
pearing in their chief characteristics,
with no extremes, and with uncom-
monty few bizarre effects excepting
those which make caricature of
nearly every fashionable hat of the
season. Ophelia in her widest mo-
ments never put upon her fair head
any more insane.looking, meaningless.
over-laden decoration than we behold
any day or hour on the promenade or
at public or private gatherings. The
special point of their absurdity is the
number OF long, tipsy-looking feath.
ers that appear exactly as if they had
been pitched upon the hat, hit.or-
miss, fastened where they happened to
fall or stand, and when this crazy
looking hat is donned, the wearer
looks as if she had just encountered

zardly gale straight from Manitoba

Selecting Pictures.

"The value of picture depends upon
what there Is in it for its possessor,"
writes William Martin Johnson in the
Ladies' Home Journal, on the "Selec
ton and Framing of Pictures" "a
painting by an amateur may be more
precious IN your eyes than one of Ra
phaers cartoons. Therefore, sell your
cartoon to the highest bidder, and wher
you outgrow the little painting buy
back the cartoon if you have learned to
see its beauty.
NO one can tell you how to under
stand art without your seeing it. study
ing it, living with it, any more than any
from bad; you must first have had ex
perlence with cloth. Learn language
before you try to converse. But do moi
go so far as to imagine that you musi
learn drawing and painting before you
can appreciate pictures. The less yor
know about technique the more capable
you will be of looking ut painting witt
an unprejudiced eye. Get at the art
lists intention. Does he express an ideG
to you? Is he interesting in the way he
tells his story? Does he convince you
of truth? If the picture is that of II
head does it impress you as having the
characteristics of an Individual? Does
1t look like n human being? Suppose
landscape is under discussion-do the
trees sway, the clouds float? Is there
any atmosphere in the painting? These
nre the tests of a painters facility with
language. But more than this is re-
quired-it is the intellectually behind
the brush. Herein lies the difference
between sublime art and the common.

Inherited Strange Talent.

William Wilmer, of Wolfsyille,
Ind, claims to have inherited the
faculty of charming reptiles through
his ancestors, and the fearful exposi
tion of his bravery with snakes as re-
lated by him is enough to give one q
fit of horror. The other day while on
a visit in the mountains of Pennsyl
vania, he caught number of spotted
vipers and let them bite him on the
arm until they hung in wriggling
mass.
Recently he WAS surprised by big
rattler while picking berries on the
mountain, and as the snake sprang at
him he leaped forward and caught il
with his hand. The influence he pro.
fesses to have over the scaly creatures
soon quieted his victim. A day OF
two ago Mr. Wilmer caught a large
rattler (which he now has), but the
snake was averse to human inter.
ference and fastened upon the charmer's
thumb, striking its venomous fangs
into his flesh. He says that he didn't
mind it bit, because he mas a remedy
with which he can cure any snake bite
in fifteen minutes, and that he will
pay $50 for any instance where he
fails to cure. Catching snakes with

GOLD NECK CHAINS,

The fashion of wearing long CHAINS
of gold about the neck is attractive.
The chain should be strong enough to
hold watch tucked into the belt, and
often tiny gold purse and bunch of
gold-plaited keys that are better car
ried by the mistress than by the maid.
These chains are supposed to be for
use, and are seen with tailor made
shopping costumes.
Parlsians are carrying, while shop
ping, dainty bags of brocaded silk
with gold clasps and ornaments or
bags of fancy leather bound with gold
or silver. This is coquettish revival
of an old fashion and does not neces-
sarily suggest a shopping trip by q
suburbanite. The small bags of white
leather, with clasp, chain and mono-
gram of gold, are particularly attrac-
tive, and the extreme is bag, ten
times larger than purse, of fine gold
mesh. Its price is not one of its at.
fractions, but in Paris there are always
patrons of the expensive fads intro
duced by the jewellers. New York
