What would be the value of the tor

discussed by naval experts nowadays,
especially since the departure of the
Spanish torpedo flotilla from the Can

be able to do is problem. 1t must
rot be forgotten, however, that the
United States has 81 torpedo boats built
and building, and this does not include
the score or more of yachts and tugs
recently purchased which are to be

WHIMS OF FASHION.

Ribbons of all kinds will be much

Chiffon and mousseline are to be much
used in millinery.
The coming season promises to be one
of diaphanous dress materials.
Everything crinkled and plisse will
be in demand for summer wear.
1t is predicted that practical" para
soils will be the favorites next season.
The new spring gowns may either be
severely plain or deliberately decorated.
Frivolous petticoats of ribbon and
lace insertion are the favorites of the
hour.
Fancy silks will be less used than
plain ones for lining the new spring
coats and dresses
Kimonos, for summer wear, are being
made of all the thin materials and of
dainty embroidered stuffs.
The graceful sash will probably be in
high favor this summer. Plaid ribbons
Will be much used for this purpose.
Most of the new ribbons are in soft,
light weaves, stiff bows being no longer
admired. Velvet ribbons will be used
for belts on the new gowns.
Pretty satin waists for evening wear
are covered with alternate ruches of Jet
and mousseline bands, embroidered in
black silk and small jet beads.
Enameled buttons are next in favoA
after those that are jeweled. Cut steel

Shadow Pictures.

Grandpa's hair is as white as swans
down, and his face is all covered with
wrinkles, but he is full of life and fun.
There is nothing that he likes better on
a long winter evening than to have all
his grandchildren come to see him. And
what crowd of them there is, to be,
sure! One evening when they had played
games till they were tired grandpa told
the boys to hang up sheet in the fold
ing doors between the front and back
parlors. Then he took a small lamp and
went into the front room with few of
the children. 1t was great fun to guess
whose were the shadows ON the sheet.
"Fred!'' "Susie!'' "Grandpap' said the
children as one shadow after another
passed over the screen.
"And, oh, see!' they cried. Grand
pa is getting littler and littlerl Now he
is only dwarf ~
"See him get tall again! Oh, he is a
giant!'
All the little folks shouted with
laughter to see grandpa growing SO fast.
And then a strange thing -ppened-
Grandpa's shadow gave a j imp up to
the ceiling and disappeared. Where
had he gone? In minute down he
came again, and then he stepped up out
of sight once more, and SO to and fro
till any one would have thought that he
must be out of breath.
How did you do it, grandpa?" asked
the children when he came back. How
did you grow tall and short and jump
up to the top of the room?'
Easily enough" said grandpa, with
hearty laugh. By moving the lamp
to and fro and up and down you can
make a shadow any size that you please.
And when I seemed to step up to the
ceiling 1 only stepped over the lamp.
As soon as was ON the other side of
the light, Of course, my shadow was
gone. Try it yourselves. only take care
not to kick the lamp over. "-Zoeth
