DANCING TURTLES.
Curious Training Through Which They
Are Put In the Far East.


The spectacle of ON old, bearded man,
with long, tangled locks, dressed in
fantastic costume, attracted the attcn-
ton of passers-by one day in one of the
large seaports of Japan. Some sad he
was an Aino, pointing to his long hair
and beard, and that he was bear wor-
shipper from Nagasaki.
The old man stood on the deck of
houseboat quite as disreputablc as he
aimSelf appeared and gave an exhi-
3ition that was in every respect remark
able. He held an old brass drum, upon
which ne beat with several sticks, keep
ng time with his foot; and in obedience
10 this strange summons a number of
omElon high-backed river torto;ses of
"arious sizes crawled out of box, and,
forming themselves in line, began to
march, one after the other, to the slow,
discordant music. Around they went
in circle, the big ones ahead, the
smaller ones following On behind, and
at the word of command the larger cncs
toolS their places between two boxes
and formed n living tortoise brih~e,
over which the small ones passed from
box to box, the others then following
suit, whereupon all the tortoiscs ar
ranged themselves in groups, like plates
about a table. ........ .. d.
The japanese have another tortoise,
which they train to perform simple

ture about three or four incncs long,
hat from life of inactivity has be-
"ome' covered with a long growth of
green pond weed, which streams be-
hind like hair as it swims along.
These people are also famous for
their strange fishes of the carp family;
+ome are short and chubby, with eyes
that protrude so far from the head
that they look like telescopes, or the
talked eyes of some crabs, with which
he little creature can see in every ii-
rection. Others have broad lacc-lil1e
tail that hangs gracefully like mass
Of lace, and appears to be divided into
'hree parts. Others have n Eerfect
black cross marked upon the back,
which against the deep red, which is
he prevailing color, presents magnili-
cent appearance. Others are called the
fish of the white cross, the latter being
white against red. $685.. ...
These fanciful creatures are trained
to perform variety of tricks; they rise
az the sound of a bell, ring a. bell them
selves, follow one another in q row at
the signal and then in many ways show
their remarkable intelligence ~. ..,.
The japanese also import the famous
fighting fishes from India, which they
keep in an aquarium and match in con-
tests which are, it must be said, decided
without bloodshed, though the little
creatures chow no little ferocity.

Some very dainty headgear is being dis
played by the miliners. One feature in
particular attracts attention-a dainty hat
in white crinoline with palest mauve silk
and yellowish lace draped around the
crown and com bined to form high bows
at one side, while for further adornment
there are some cleverly grouped white os-
trich feathers, one or two delicate pink
roses and sundry rosettes Of mauve chif-
fon.

OF mauye is struck first by the straw OF

folds of white chiffon add to the effect.

with soft rosettes of yellow and white

trimming. There was also a rosy hued

roses peeping out here and there and a
white ostrich tip and osprey for con trast.

were of gauze and the skirt was finished

very original bodice of white bengaline.
while the coloring of the embroidery was
prettily repeated in the waistband.
The last of the notable gowns I noticed
was of dove gray MORE with a zigzag
satin design upon it. The skirt was fin
ished with lace insertion at the hem and
the bodice, Of bolero shape, was of lace
over white, opening on soft front OF
white siIken muslin and lace. There was
little puffed edging of gray chiffon and
white folded collar. A fawn-colored satin
straw bonnet trimmed with black velvet
and lea roses was worn with this costume,
having a high black and white rosette at
one side.

cure something new. The very newest
idea this season is to use silk Maltese lace
as trim ing for the wedding-dress. 1t is
very charming in wonderful shades of
ivory and cream. Furthermore. it is very
popular, and think we might very easily
say this year that not only happy is the
bride the sun shines on, but happy is the
bride whose gown is trimmed with silk
Maltese lace.
Some one was telling me the other dav
that I ought to write moro about what
the summer irl wore. Did you ever hear
anything so ridiculous? Was the bona
fide summer girl ever known to wear any
thing but white, unless it was a bathing
suit or bicy Gle costume? Certainly not.
She wears to-day what she did yesterday
and what she will wear tomorrow. If
only we could all be summer girls. But
then we can't and really, tor one, don't
feel like crying about it. CYNTHIA.

For Children.

A mite of years of age is a picture in q
fine white muslin frock, made with quain t
muosquetaire sleeves, inserted with Valen-
ciennes. A yoke of the same insertion is
specimen of beautiful needlewcrk. Round
the bottom of the skirt are two frills of
muslin, lace-edged. The square yoke is
surrounded with soft ruffle of the lace,
and tho little costume is com pleted with q
long sash OF soft silk.

1t was my good fortune the other even
ing to be present at social gathering of
the people who are supposed to wear the
very SIN artest gowns that can be bou hit.
One lady was tastefully dressed in fouiard,
the dominant tone IN which was pink on
a black and white ground. The skirt was
made with three frills, each edged with
narrow cream -colored gui pure lace. The
sleeves were of foulard, like the skirt, and
the rest of the bodice was of guipure over
white satin and finished with black
sash.
Another costume, worn by a debutante,
was of dark gray bengaIine. The coat
bodice was white, Louis Quinze in style,
the fronts embroidered in steel and gilt
tering paillettes, over insertions of white
cloth, all forming a design essentially of
the per.od. With this costume was worn
large black hat with black ostrich
plumes. rosette OF turquoise blue vel

ornament in the center, completed the
costume.

satin, while the sleeves are distinguished
by quantity shaped cuffs trimmed with
braid and softened by friljing of silk.
1t seemed to me that such suit as this
would be always smart and very durable,
as bicycle suits 90.
The second costume was built in cloth
of the fashionable shade of mauve, lines
of white and gold braid, terminating in
graceful scrolls, outlining the side seams
OF the skirt and figuring with distinction
on the bolero bodice, the sleeves and
epaulettes in company with an edging of
black gallon. The full front was a charm
ing affair of white chiffon and terminates
at the ankles.
The third costume was of dark mauve
cloth, with collar. revers and puffs OF VEL
vet edged with fine fancy braid in violet
and gold. The little Eton coat-which,
by the way, boasts of a silk ining-is
turned back, with very dainty buttons in
gold and steel, touched here and there
with blue enamel. When the weather de-
mands extra warm th and protection it can
be fastened across in double breasted
fashion. ALI the cycling costumes de-

Flowers are in evidence in new fashion,

niings for evening gowns. Violets have

can be well utilized on white satin with
draperies of tender green ribbon to match
their stalks. With this latter material

L. Grunberg, for nineteen years a resident of
Egypt, arrived in this City last week and will
in all probability make this his future home.
Mr.. Grunberg has been quite prominent in
the affairs of the B'ne Birth in the Orient
and is the only one who succeeded in estab-
fishing lodges of the order in that section of
the world. He esta 5lished several lodges
which now have an aggregate membership of
more than 500. II is probable that in the
near future he will, under the auspices of the
district grand lodge, deliver address on the
subject of the order in the Orient, and he Will
probably address several OF the lodges.

Last Tn ursday night the recently elected
officers OF Buena Vista Parlor of tine Native
Daughters of the Golden West were installed
by District Deputy Mrs. Genevieve Baker in
public in Shasta Hall, Native Sons building,
and for the occasion the hall was most artisti-
cally and profusely decorated with the choic-
est of flowers. The ceremony of installation,
unless performed by the installing Off
Ger TO perfection and without book, is rather
tame. In this instance the deputy, with dra-
matte effect and clear. resonant voice, per-
formed her part of the work in a manner that
made it q pleasure to witness and listen to.
Ia the ceremony she was ably assisted by Miss
Rosa Dav, the grand marshal of the order, and
bv others who flied the chairs of the grand
officers Then the oficers-elect watched the
proceedings with earnestness that was
marvellous, and by their demeanor and atten-
tion to the deputy added to the dignity and
impressiveness OF the event, showing also that
they fully appreciated the import of the
