Epicurean Jack Tars.

While the volunteer Jack tars are in
the city to take the monitors on to
their defensive posts at Portland, Bos-
ton and New York, some curious social
conditions have been observed. Many
of these naval reserve men are OF hign
social standing and wealth, but are
serving as seamen and wearing the
Uniform of their grade. While willing
TO perform the lowly tasks of ship du-
ty-holy-stoning the decks, scrubbing
paint, cleaning boats, scraping oars
and securing bright work-they are by

leave, hurry off to the swell restaur-

which good things often include the
big cold bottle and the little hot bird.

Discard the Pillow.

In an article on physical Culture
for Girls" in the Woman's Home Com
panion, Katharine E. Junkermann
recommends exercises to attain cor
rect position of the shoulders and a
stately way of carrying the head, add
ing this word OF warning against the
seductions OF the pillow:
"The dear, soft, cosy pillow, whose
soothing influence you miss, even
when sound asleep, if it slips away
from you, ought to be permanently
put away. 1t presses and pushes and
insinuates itself, like the bewitching
but evil designing thing that it is, into
all the cracks and crannies of ones
makeup. While it seems to breathe
out beautiful dreams, it is really be-
quilting your attention while it pushes
your ears out of place. 1t is making
wrinkles in your neck and deepening
the hollows over the chest by forcing
the head forward and the chest III.
The same thing happening every
night will eventually rob all the beauty
the neck may have, and nulll1y tne
good of the exercise.
so one must either sacrifice ones
neck or the pillow. 1t is true that the
first time you try doing without it you
feel as if you were at m inquisition
and taking IN active part in the pro-
ceeGings. B 1T perseverance here, as
elsewhere, will accomplish wonders. :"

PRINCE of Wales, Dinner Table

Good taste reigns over all the al
rangements. Thus the iublecloths
are severely plain, though of the finest
quality, and simply worked with the
royal arms-the rose, the thistle, and
the shamrock.-while the table nap
kins are invariably folded into small
square to hold the bread, and never in
the fancy shapes in vogue elsewhere.
To each guest two forks, andn more,
are provided, and these are placed
prongs downward. In addition, there
are one large tablespoon and one large
knife, for in no circumstance are two
knives together given to any guest.
A great many reasons have been as
signed for this rule, but apparently
no one has summoned up the courage
to ask their royal host and hostess.
1t has been asserted that his Royal
Highness has the old-fashioned dislike
of seeing knives inadvertently crossed.
Small water bottles are used, but the
Princess holds to the Hanoverian hab-
it of never having finger bowls.
At Marlborough house dinner be-
gins ut s.45 o'clock, and is never al
lowed to last much more than an hour,
Occasionally during dinner soft music

STARTLING PILL STATISTICS.
Some Idea of the Consumption of Medi'
cal Pellets by the English.

Some Idea of the Consumption OF medi7
cal Pellets by the English.
The British appetite for pills can
only be gauged from the revenue re-
ceipts relating to- the stamp duties
paid for proprietary medicines (which
last year in the aggregate amounted to
almost quarter of million pounds)
and by making allowances for the pills,
dispensed by doctors and chemists,
which are not dutiable.
An allowance of trifle over half an
ounce of pills for each inhabitant OF
the United Kingdom for the year can
not be said to be an extravagant esti'
mate; indeed, such an allowance means
but thirty-two doses year, or one
and half pounds of pills to last a
lifetime of sixty years.
Placed in straight line, says Tit
Bits, the pills of lifetime would ex-
tend through some forty feet, and
there would be some 1920 of them.
The latter figure may seem rather
large, but if sixty years of pills were
combined into one sphere, it would
have o diameter of less than four
inches and circumference of under
one foot.
1t is not until we make calculations
regarding the pill as national deli
cacy that we arrive at any figures OF
magnitude, and then we find that
som ething like 1880, 900, 600 pills are
swallowed annually. If these British
pills were put in straight line they
would extend from London to Luck
now.
The placing of the pills in lengthy
line of $3.50 miles would afford occu-
patton for pair of idle hands during
eighty-one years, at the end of which
time the owner of the hands would
probably find the task of laying down
three pills every second during an
eight hours day something monoton-
GUS. If in place Of putting them into
an extended line we placed the pills
in rows of 1885 pills, and having ar
ranged the same number of rows as
there were pills in row as base, we
could use the rest of the pills in max
ing 1885 similar layers, the resultant
cube would have each of its dimen-
sions rather more than % 1-2 feet.
Having performed this feat, we
could proceed to stir up the lot in a
gigantic mortar, and having thorough
ly mixed the ingredients-and what a
mixture it would bs!-roll the mass
into one splendid spherical pill weigh
ing 637 tons, and possessing diane
ter of over % feet, and circumfer-
ence of S8 feet. Five men six feet in
height, standing on one another's
shoulders not heads, that would be
too painful, especially for the one on
the groundwork require the SER
vices of a small boy to crown the
human Eiffel tower in order to get
level with the top of the monster pill.

Marriage Schools in Germany.

In Germany they have started new
idea marriage schools. I was Curl
Gus to know the working out of the
scheme; it struck me as comical, so I
only made inquiries. "Ah ! you will
laugh, you will point the finger of
scorn!'' murmured German friend. I
tried to lovk grave. 81 should very
much like to hear all about it, +" I re-
piled. $50 far" told my friend, "the
undertaking has met with undoubted
success. No girl is admitted to ths
marriage school unless she has fill
ished her ordinary education. Her
principal instruction is housekeeping,
although she keeps up more OF less
the cultivation OF her mind. At a
school where I have visited about 20
girls are admitted. Each has her own
bedroom. At the opening of school,
after term, the mistress singles out
four girls, and tells them she expects
them to take entire charge of the
house. Two servants, housemaid and
cook, are only to do the very rough
work. The four girls, then, are ex-
pected to rise with the lark and see
that the servants get through their
duties. Breakfast they prepare with
their own hands. After breakfast they
go the rounds and see that every room
is perfectly neat. Dinner (under the
mistress tuition) they must cook them
selves. Later on they prepare sup.
per, tidy up the kitchen and go all
over the house to see that every door
is properly closed. The girls off duty
make and mend their own and their
companions clothes. The following
week another quartet of girls is
chosen. Walks and bicycling in the
country eater into the days program.
Very frequently guests are invited to
dine, and the girls in turn play at
being hostess. They carve the joints,
set the ball of conversation rolling,
and so forth. Dances and musical
parties, too, are given in the evening.
Again the girls act as hostesses and
arrange the whole entertainment. Of
ficers and professional men attend the
soirees and are charmed at what they
see and hear" My friend stopped to
take breath. "And how many girls,
I asked, "out of the 20, are supposed
to capture an officer or professional
man as husband while at the school ?"
cat least eight out of the 20, was the
emphatic reply.

A woman with blue. gray eyes and a

in the blue shades in which gray is

Small Fans Out of Date.

The little Empire tan so popular all
winter and so convenient to handle,
seems to have had its day. Fan fash

other extreme, and the fan OF the
spring is three times the sizc of its

inches in length, and spread out 1t
forms truly huge expanse for the
summer girl to simper behind and
blush.
Big fans will be from now on all the
rage, and no one knows how large
they will grow before the fashion
changes. AS it is, the woman who
wants to be in good form can hardly
get too big fan.
The new fan is being displayed IN
every variety, though tits too new
fashion to have gotten into all the
shapes yet. The popular fans will be
of feathers in every shade OF color
spangled, for tinsel on everything IS

Fashion Notes.

MOSG OF the ueW WOOleuS are III LILO,
soft weaves.
This years checks are small and not
clearly defined.
Long capes with hoods will be in
high favor this spring.
Pinked ructes of taheta silk are
used for skirt trimmings.
Foulard will occupy a prominent
place among summer fabrics.
The favorite plaids of the season
will be those with the fewest colors in
them.
Appliques of black lace on white
Isle are one of the features of the new
millinery.
Bunches of white violets freshen up
many winter hat, giving it very
spring-like look.
Black and white edgings of lace and
ribbon will often be seen on the nu-
merous ruffles that will adorn summer
gowns.
The new toques are larger than
those of lastseason, but the difference
is more noticeable in the width from
side to side.
There will be great care paid to
flowers this spring, and among other
conspicuous points are the bright
hues. Crowns and toques entirely of
flowers will be seen.
Gloves of two colors have been sue
cessfully introduced, as also o new
gauntlet, with the cuffs lined with
black silk. Large buttons are pre-
ferred on these gloves.
Black taffeta silk gowns are well
represented in the early importations
of French models, and they are made
very dressy with rows of lace inser-
tions showing the colored lining
through its meshes.
The latest veil is scarf two yards
long. 1t is edged with lace, finished
on the ends with founce, ties in one
knot at the back, and the ends are
carried around in front and tied in a
bow under the chin.
Beige colored lawn gowns, trimmed
with bias bands of the same, stitched
on and made with guimpe of finely
tucked white batiste, will be very
much worn for morning dress when
the warm days come.
Velvet belts studded with jewelled
medallions and pretty leather belts
dotted all over with turquoises and
cabochons of various colors add their
brilliant rainbow tints to the long list
of novelties in fancy belts.
In some of the latest novelties in
necilwear, the high collar, instead Of
being folded or draped, is drawn up
at intervals by cords; two in front,
one on each side and two of the back
suffice. Different kinds of cravats are
adapted to collars of this sort-the
double butterfly bow, the regatta, the
plastron, etc.
The new Scotch ginghams and
French zephyrs rival the taffeta silks
in pattern and artistic coloring, and
the summer girl who dons q gown
made OF these charming fabrics, with
the dainty ribbon trimmings, and car
ries the parasol to match the goods,
will look quite as pretty at half the
cost as the girl who walks in silk at
tire.
Satin, as having greater lustre than
silk, is chosen for the under dress Of
the organdie and gauze dresses now
being made for the summer. 1t Is
claimed, too, that satin will be the
most suitable material for the sheath
skirt. Tafeta is too light in weight
aud too bouffante. The satin mar
veilleuse, once so fashionable, makes
the most durable of oil skirts, whether
for an outer or an under dresG

Neckwear.

A white embroidered yoke is one Of
the most tasteful things that can be
worn upon dark dress. There is q
neatness about it that is almost hyp-
motto.
AS no white yoke will outlast dark
dress, the yoke must be detachable. 1t
can be made OF embroidered muslin OF
pioue. 1t can also be made of white
lawn.
A pretty tie is of the same material
as the yoke, and fastens under the
chin. The yoke may be in the form
of lapels that turn back from tucked
centre, in which case it is very easily
detached from the dress. These white
yokes will be characteristic OF the
wool dress of spring.
