Strange Tenants in Strange Houses.

Down near low-water mark on the sea-shore there are curious houses, some large and some small, occupied by still more curious tenants. The origi- nal owners of the houses are dead and gone, so the present patrons are not annoyed by the difficult problem of how to pay their monthly rent The houses are indeed wonderful structures of black and gray shell on the outside, and are, in reality, the old shells of va rious molluscs, which small hermit crabs have taken as houses
 It is not an uncommon thing to find a crab in 8 shell to which a young oys- ter is attached, and often a sea a-ane- none is fastened to the oyster shell; so @ hermit is often responsible for several lives as well as his own. Sometimes when hermit-crab cannot find a shell which suits him, he will live in an old bottle or any other object that will serve to shelter his soft helpless body. While walking on the beach one after noon 1 found a hermit occupying a fin ger which had been cut off from a glove. How the little crab fastened himself there, how long he stayed, and when he moved to better quarters, do not know, but when I saw him he was there, and apparently enjoying himself.
 Hermit-crabs are well worth looking at, for they will often prove very inter- esting and amusing companions for a summer afternoon by the sea. When young the hermits swim at the surface of the water, like all crabs, but when a

Hawaii will soon be literally annexed It was annexed in spirit the other day when the United States troops arrived at Honolulu on their way to the Philip pines. That was great day in Hono- lulu. The soldiers were welcomed as heartily as the Sixth Massachusetts was in Baltimore. The following list covers a part of the welcome: Potato salad, one ton; roast beef, 2,500 pounds; ham sandwiches, 10000; coffee, 150 pounds equals gallons; milk, 300 gall Ions; roast mutton; turkeys; chickens; pineapples, S00 watermelons, 800; mangoes, 10000; oranges, 5,000; various meats; bread and butter; cigars and cigarettes; soda water and ginger ale, 12,ooo bottles; pies, 2,000; cake, twenty bushels.
 We have received a copy of the Com- mercial Advertiser, published in Hono- lulu, and it reveals the feelings of the islanders who made ten thousand ham sandwiches, etc., etc., etc. It is head ed: Boys in Blue Edition.'' It was printed in red, white and blue and each soldier was given a, copy. A flag of the United States is prominent on the first page. This is the editorial Welcome" Hawaii welcomes the advance guard of the American legions moving across the great tranquil sea to the tropics. It is the first movement of American bayonets beyond the western margin of the continent. The cause in which they move is a noble one. Hawaii cov- CTS the boys in blue with her Ieis of flowers, and to them all gives her greeting: Aloha!
 The United States can and does Aloha! back. Manifest destiny has struck Hawaii and it will probably dc her much good.

THE PARKS FOR THE PEOPLE.

It is high time that the people of New Haven should have the full en- joyment of their beautiful East and
 West rock parks They haven't had such enjoyment because they haven't
 been able to get to them easily and
 cheaply. There has been a gentle and
 humane theory that anybody who
 couldn't afford to ride or drive to the rock tops, or was too young, too lazy,
 too tired or too feeble to walk there
 ought not to have the benefit of them.
 Beautiful pictures have been drawn of
 agile Park commissioners Ieaping from
 crag to crag up the rocks like glorious
 ly athletic goats and the people have
 been advised to go and leap likewise.
 But they haven't done it, and they
 never will do it to any great extent,
 because the majority of them, and
 those who most need the parks, don't
 fee. goat-like. What they want and need is some way of getting to the rock tops without being goatlike.
 Last evening in the Board of Alder men a beginning was made toward
 giving the people free and easy access to their parks, The matter should be pressed to speedy and adequate con- clusion. The only argument we have ever heard against giving the people what they need in this direction is that they might have picnics on the rocks and ''litter'' them. Of course this would be terrible, but it would be | somewhat offset by the comfort and health that would be gained while slittering" Open the splendid rock | parks to the people! What boon
 they would have been during the hot spell that has just been suffered.

ination a third time. Dr. von Going re- piled that "the unbecoming behavior of the student on the previous day rendered such an application out of the question. Herr von Flemming there- upon admitted that The had, 1t was true, intended to show his disrespect to the examiners" but at the same time he refused to admit that his behavior had been improper. Dr. von Going re- piled that, whatever the opinion of the student might be, mo gentleman would have behaved as he had done,' Re- garding the words of the President as a personal insult, Herr von Flemming, after some preliminary attempts at ne- gotiations, sent his cousin, a lieutenant in the army, with a challenge to pr. von Going, who promptly put the mat ter in the hands of the Public Prose- cutor. As a result of the trial Herr von Flemming was sentenced to four months incarceration in a fortress, and it is extremely unlikely that any other plucked student will venture to imi- tate his example.

ON TO SPAIN.

It seems to be certain that United States warships will soon be on the way to Spain, and it is expected in
 Washington that they will have g. "so- bering effect" upon the Spaniards. They probably will That is their busi- ness just now, and they have already sobered a great many Spaniards. If Spanish honor demands the lombard ment by these warships of some of Spain's fortified cities the home gov- ernment will have an opportunity to realize why Admirals Montojo and Ger vera were defeated, and those gentle men may not be greatly blamed by their government. And if Admiral Ca mara is recalled from the canal to meet the Oregon and her companions Spain will have another sad but glorious day.

ed with batiste ruff1es and finished with collar of the same. The further gar niture consisted of bands of violet silk braid and cord of the same tint, the cord giving yoke effect and the braid trimming skirt and bodice. Besides this braid trimming, the sleeves were tuck ed at the wrists. Without greater degree of elaboration it would be diff1- cult to devise more novel princess dress, or one that would show off to better advantage a figure suited to it.
 Never were so many varieties of pet ticoats shown Those of white taffeta with umbrella frill reinforced by sev- eral narrow frills of corded edge silk are among the prettiest and simplest The same thing is shown all fluffy with pinked-edge ruffies or lace edge. Taf- feta skirts in brilliant coors are finish ed at about the knees with deep points, from which elaborate lace frills fall over a silk foundation. Apple green is again all the rage. A grenadine sum- mer skirt is light as a feather, and is linen color striped with satin lines of apple green. Frills zigzagging in points and overlapping each other extend from the knees down and are of apple green taffeta.
 Lawn petticoats are made with as much care as the silk ones. They come in umbrella and apron cut, and are be- frilled and elaborated with lace edges and insertions These are suitable for wear under drop skirts of organdie, and usually are made of stock shades of lawn which can be matched for the bodice lining. Nainsook petticoats are dreams of lace, embroidery and inser- tion. Otter the deep fiounces are made detachable so they can be sent to the cleaners, for of course, the wash tub is out of the question.

4 GERMAN STUDENTS ANTICS.

Sometimes Yale students who fail to pass their examinations secretly "cuss" their examiners, but such a perform ance as has just taken place in Berlin would be impossible in New Haven. A law student named Hans von Elem ming, who already had failed once to pass his examinations for the bar, again presented himself before the ex- aminers for the viva-voce examination. The chief examiner, the President of the Judicial Senate, Dr. von Going, in- formed him in the presence of three other candidates that he had again failed. Upon this Herr von Flemming with a contemptuous smile took up his books and immediately left the room
 loudly slamming the door behind him" instead of waiting, as etiquette pre- scribed, for the announcement of the result of the examination of his three felIow-students. On the following day he appears to have repented of his fit of temper and called upon Dr. von Going in order to ask the President of the Senate to use his influence with the
 Minister of Justice to obtain permis- sion for him to come up for the exam

FASHION NOTES.
IM One and Brand New.

There is reason enough for princess dresses not being generally worn; if they were, half their wearers would look frights. Yet the princess cut is stylish, and novel examples of it are still put forth by dressmakers whose standing brings favorable attention to their output. One of these new models is shown in the accompanying illustra- tions. Of violet foulard striped in two tints, its front, from waist upward, was slashed to admit vest of white en- broiderad batiste.

Massachusetts has a new law for bidding manufacturers to deduct the time lost by accidents to machinery from the wages of the employees. The law only requires that wages be con- tinued so long as the help are kept confined in the mill. If an engine shaft breaks and a shut down for an ex- tended period is necessary, the manu- facturer can let his employees go home and need not pay them during their enforced idleness. But if an accident occurs that seems only temporary and the workmen are kept idle at their machines the law compels the manu- facturer to pay them the same as though their work was uninterrupted.
