FASHION HINTS.

Wells to be worE exclusively with
walking hats have very deep borders.
Ever so many designs in kid and
leather belts are developed in bright
reds and greens.
White hats are seen trimmed with
big punches of white violets, with i'm
mense green leaves.
Tiny pockets for midsummer evening
wear are of plated mousseline trim
med with ribbon and artificial flowers.
The surplice waist is coming in again
and muslin bodices cut in this style,
finished with a soft flchu, will soon be
seen.
Apple green chiffon and white and
purple lilacs make a magnificent trim
ming for a stylish large hat of fine
black Milan straw.
1t makes about twenty-five yards of
~organdie for a frock having a sun
plated skirt and about twenty yards
for one having the skirt fiounced to
the waist. Some OF the 35-cent organ
dies have been reduced to 10 and II liz
cents.
Shoes must match hats in color
this season If one would be extremely
chic, so there are all kinds Of colored
kid shoes in the fashionable young
woman't outfit. White kid shoes are
very much worn, and there is a mouse
colored brown kid which Is very pref
ty with thin gowns.
Bright dark blue wells are very much
worn in Paris, but white cross-bar net
with black chenille dots is more gener-
ally worn here with the light-colored
straw hats. A fine black lattice net
powdered with tiny spots and all the
new Russian nets without any spots at
all are equally famed.
An occasional poke bonnet, made of
colored tulle, wired ana shirred into
shape, tied demurely under the chin
with tulle strings and trimmed with
small roses, is seen at the fashionable
! garden parties. but it is the eXcep-
tional face that can resist the effect of

A Partisan touch is given to the
regulation white pique Elton coat and

and a black gadze scarf, which fastens

ties behind with long sash ends, The
front of the jacket should be cut out
in some odd shape to display the vest,

THE SOURCE or light.

The diameter OF the sun is S66, 600
miles.
1t ~revolyes on its axis every twenty
five days.
Its distance from the earth Is 49,
100000 miles.
Its bulk is 1890, 600 times greater
than that OF the earth.
The composition of The sun has been
determined by the use of the spectre
scope,
It's mean density is one-fourth that
Of the earth, or about the consistency
of mollasses.
Should the earth fall into the sun it
would melt and e~yaporate like a snow
fake on a hot stove.
Light from the sun reaches us in
eight minutes and is $50 times greater
than the calcium light.
The earth probably receives about
one two-thousand -millionth part of the
total radiation of the suns rays.
The quantity of matter contained
In 1t is more than 1900 times greater
tIdh Nudl VI all llt HidhtlS III iuc
solar system combined.
The sun is believed To be a mass OF
intensely heated matter containing
both permanent gases, like hydrogen,
and metallic vapors.
that ii Will probably require millions
OF years to reduce its heat to a point
where humanity would freeze TO death.
The compression tends to decrease
its size at the rate of ten inches daily,
the contraction and grinding together
OF the substances producing the in
tense heat.
A mar weighing 200 pounds would
weigh nearly three tons on the sun
and his WI weight would probably
tiatten and kill him, the force of
gravity being tweEty-eight times
greater at the suns surface than on
the earth.

tic band, which goes under the from.

SONG OF THE SAILOR.

Up sail! The breeze is fair;
Well leave the land a-lee;
There's never a mesh Of care
On the broad, bright, open sea,
What though the west wind vear
And the sky grow dim as hate,
Wen whistle away all fear,
And laugh in the face of fate.
0, a free song
For a sea song,
With a tang of the smashing brine
That shall make the light
In the eye leap bright
Like the taste Of wine,
Once we have won the waste
Where never was mans foot set,
Adieu TO the stress of haste
And the worn worlds dream Of fret
Now for the clearing eye,
And the heart a-burst with glee!
over the great blue sky;
Under the great blue sea.
o, a free song
For a sea song,
With a dash of the singing brine,
And every word
A-wing like a bird
In the amber morning shinel
