4 NLINnEH KEEIrTEn

Some hard-hearted and evil-minded people say that women are not really sentimental and kind. People who so say should pay attention to the senti- ment and the kindness displayed by women in wearing the corpses or parts of the corpses of beautiful birds on their hats. This gentle fashion has been in existence twenty-five years. It is pointed out that into England alone between 25,dd6 000 and 90,000.000 birds are imported yearly, and that for Flu rope the number reaches 150,000, GOO. Hence the fashionable craze has annu ally demanded between 200,000,000 and 800, ,000, GOO birds From the East Indies alone dealer in London received 400, 900 humming birds, 5000 birds of para disc and 00,0o0 miscellaneous birds. within four months, over S00000 East and West Indian and Brazilian bird skins, besides thousands of pheasants and birds of paradise, were put up for sale. In Florida the heron species is annihilated. The aigrette is from the white heron, and as it is from the we'd ding garment it must be taken at the breeding time, so that the coming gen. eration falls a sacrifice also. When the young are matched it is easy to catch their parents, as they will not forsake their nestlings. Every aigrette feather, small as it is, signifies the death of sev- eral birds; it signifies a nestful of cry ing young calling for food that never comes, till death by starvation has stilled their cries. In Morocco ten years ago one could meet thousands of the beautiful gold-headed cockatoo; now a native boy could not recognize one if shown him. All are gone. In the dis chimes are placed along the shore, made of wire and connected with electric bat teries. When the swallows come from Africa, weary with their flight over the sea, rest on the wires, they fall to the ground The eorpses are sent in large baskets to Paris to the milliners.
 These and other facts like them are sufficient answer to those who charge lovely Woman with cruelty. They are also a sufficient answer to the queer Japanese paper that said: It is not enough that the Europeans compress themselves with steel and whalebone, they also demand for adornment our beautiful and useful birds. But when they deck themselves with these it is not only a crying wrong to our agricul- ture, but, moreover, mockery of their boasted civilization

In another article on this page we call attention to the gentle sentiment and true kindness of heart displayed by lovely Woman in her attitude toward the beautiful birds which are being eX- terminated in order that her hat may look all right. In this article we call sented by representatives of proud Man at Carson yesterday and confess that honors appear to be about even between Woman and Man this morning.
 The best thing about "the great fight" few days the air will be thick with ex- plantations of how it did and didn't happen we shall have rest from the sickening blowing of the fighters and their aiders and abettors. It is also pleasant to feel that in all probability one great fighter has so parted with his greatness that he will not be able to make connection with it again, and there will be permanently much less of him than there has been. How great the great F'itz will grow remains to be seen and what other great men will rise up to go against his ambition cannot be told. Until we find out let us turn hopefully to consideratio of the tariff question and the other ques- tions that have been obscured by the wind-storm that has been blowing from Carson.
 It is to be hoped that the governor of Nevada enjoyed the fight. He paid big price for his box, a price that both he and his State will feel as soon as they get over their excitement.
 Read the sickening details of 'the great fight" Read about the gang that managed it and saw it. Realize the condition of things at Carson during the last few days and last night. And then show your manliness and sporti- ness by arguing in favor of encourag- ing the manly art"

tical pipe rises few feet above the surface of the sea, serving as a guide for floating buoy, which slides up and down, The top of the stationary pipe is armed with a piston, which works in q cylinder in the buoy as the latter moves up and down, the apparatus be- ing in effect a pump, As in the small bicycle pump, it is the cylinder which moves, while the piston remains sta tlonary, Every wave that rolls In lifts the buoy and forces water through the pipe-there are holes in the side of the pipe within the cylinder-and into 8 suitable reservoir ashore, the water thus accumulated being used as a source of power for the operation of machinery At Dover plant with a buoy four feet in diameter and with a four-foot stroke is in operation.

Two Gowns of Newly stylish stuffs.

Very pretty grenadine dresses are made in black over green. The bodice of the goods bag in front, dropping over the belt, and rows of green or black ribbon are set round and round on the dress from the hem of the skirt to the throat. The rows droop little in front and mount at the back and sides. Grenadine is to be so popular 8 material, however, that no one kind of gown can be fairly taken as typical use of this stuff. The dress worn by the seated woman in this picture was grenadine, and was brand new dress of fine design, yet in cut and color was

quite different from the one mentioned above. To begin with, it was mauve colored and made over green silk. A festooned ruffie of accordeon pleated mauve taffeta trimmed the skirt and rows of the pleated taffeta crossed the front of the bodice from shoulders to waist. Belt and collar were prune col ored velvet
 Another material newly i'll favor, but already well established in cashmere, which is now being worn 8 great deal and is rapidly becoming more abtn- dant. For Lent gray is a favorite color, for it as well as for other goods and mouse gray was the shade of the com panion dress to the one just described. Bands of white satin covered with steel spangled tulle trimmed it's skirt, vest and collar being of the same materials. The waist was gathered at the shoul- ders and the surplice front was carried to the back, where it formed one large loop and two ends that hung to the skirts hem.
 Fancy waists are as much worn as ever. A very beautiful new model was in handsome white cashmere with Turkish designs embroidered all over it. It opened over a satin vest of pe- tunia satin and a beautiful lace collar laid flat at the throat and across the top of the cerise vest gave character to the whole The bodice was finished at the waist line by roll of cerise vel vet. Tucks crossed the bust line just under the edge of the lace collar.
