Z u NEW YORK FASHIONS. 5
s THE LATEST DESIGNS FOR WINTER COSTUMES

New YORK CRY Especially. The
most radical change this season in all
the array of fashionable garments has
been made in the contour and general
style of capes. The most approved
models, like the golf cape shown in
the large engraving, are longer than
any we have worn for years, and the
shawl shapes and other effects are
wholly new, and in most instances
very odd and striking. One model is
formed like ali open-fronted circular
of three-quarter length, the lower dip
of the cape in the back coming well
over the length of the dress. To the
entire edge of this cape is added cir
cular founce, very wide at the back
and graduating up to merely two OF
three inches as it nears the throat.
Another somewhat shorter style, but
entirely covering the lowest curve of
the hips, is very much cut away on
the fronts, revealing nearly all of the
dressy front of the bodice of the gown
made en- suite. The entire edge of
this cape is cut in deep scallops which
are bordered with either silk gimp or
line of narrow fur, and beneath
these scalloped edges is set a gathered
ruffle, which is likewise graduated in
width.
This ruff1e is made sometimes of
silk the color of the cape, or of mater
ial matching the cape. A feature of
very many of the capes, coats, over
skirts, redingotes and fancy jackets
this season is the curved effect given
to the fronts. Some of the models in
coats arch directly toward the hips,
like mans very English cutaway

The Appetite of the shark,

A considerable part of the food or
fishes at the Aquarium is composed of
other fishes-herring cod, and so on
cut into thin strips and slices and
pieces of one size and shape and an-
other, according to the wants of the
fishes to be fed. Only clean and
slightly food is put into the tanks, and
SO in cutting up the food there may
be more or less refuse, heads and
tails and other parts that must be
thrown away. This depends, how.
ever, on how many sharks there are
in the Aquarium. Just now there are
twelve in the big central pool, and
there is no refuse thrown away. They
are not very big sharks, the biggest
OF them about four feet, but their ap.
petites are good, and twelve sharks,
even if they are not very large, can
get away with good deal of food.
They eat all the refuse food and like
it.
There are two sharks in one of the
Aquarium's large double tanks which
get for food nice shiny pieces out of
the side of the fish, but it is probable
that they would rather be with their
twelve brothers in the pool, revelling
on the heads and tails.-Now York

A Bold Desperado.

Australian papers which have re.
Gently arrived in this country contain
columns about stage hold-up sensa-
tion which developed into a comedy.
The first report had it that mail
coach in New South Wales was held
up, and that bushrangers had made a
big haul of checks and postal orders.
Most of the passengers by the coach
lost their jewelry. Mounted police
were in hot pursuit and arrested q
man named James King. Then it
came out that there was only one rob-
ber, who relieved the passengers
while he had a dummy figure stand
ing by the fence. Moreover, he held
up the coach with toy pistol. The
police have found upon him five Oh six
caps of the sort that children use with
make-belieye firearms. = New York

GIANT PHILIPPINE BEES.
Honeymakers Which It Is Proposed d
Introduce Into the Uaited States

Honeymskers Which It Is Proposed q
Introduce Into the United States.
There is one race inhabiLing the
Philippines which will be a welcome
addition to American citizenship and
receive every facility and inducement
to emigrate to the United States and
engage in the skilled labor in which il
has no peer. This is the giant East
Indian honey bee, whose immense
capacity for making honey and wax
has interested the department of agri.
culture in the consideration of az
early effort to introduce it into the
United States. 1t is nearly one-hali
larger than the American native honey
bee, and builds comb, heavy with
wax and honey, five or six times as
large as those found in American
orchards and forests.
In the Philippine Islands their
colonies are most numerous in the
mountains, as the increasing quest OF
the natives for their honeycombs has
driven them from the unprotected fiat.
lands of the coast to the less thickly
inhabited and more heavily wooded
mountain regions. The Filipinos find
their daily bread rather easy prop
osition, but they are very fond OF
honey on the staff of life. There il
also large demand for wax for use ir
dyeing.
The big bees build their hives on
tall forest trees or on the overhanging
lodges of cliffs. When undisturbed
branch swarms build near the parent
colony, so that in a few years an i'm
mense bee settlement often grows up
in the forest. The bees build comb
five or six feet long, four feet wide and
from seven -eighths to one and one hall
inches in thickness. Tho largest
combs of American honey bees are
not of more than one-fifth these di
mensions. In appearance the giant
bee is a smoky. glittering, iridescent
black wasp-like figure, with orange
bands encircling its body. There
have been reports that this bee is
most ferocious and on account of it's
great size extremely dangerous, but
Prof. Frank Benton of the department
of agriculture, Washington, has seen
and handled them in their Jungle

tons account, that they have lost
dexterity with their stinging appara.
tus, and though they may alight, full
of wrath and with evil intent, upon
human hand or neck, they do not
handle their offensive weapon with
skill, and it takes them twenty or
thirty seconds to get their sting in
working order. They are quiet as
compared with American bees.
Petitions have been coming into
the department of agriculture for
years asking that the government in
troduce these giant bees into the
United States. No attempt at bring
ing them here has ever been success
full. Professor Benton tried to bring
to the United States swarm of these
honeymakers which he captured in
the jungle. While he was sick in bed,
on his way home, no one else on the
vessel would attend to them and they
all died. New York Sun.

Hoods SarsaparilIa
A Ducks Wonderful Walk.

DUCKS wonderful Walk.
New Zealand is Justly proud Of
wonderful duck, whose exploits are
told in letter to the London Specta-
tor by J. NJ. Richie, Esq, of Balvrald,
Dunedin.
This duck was of the Paradise var
iety. It lived at sheep station
twenty-one miles from Timaru, Can-
terbury, where it's owner, a house
keeper, had clipped it's wings so that
should not fly.
When the housekeeper changed to
q new place she took the duck with
her in q basket by train to Timaru, by
another train for ninety-fve miles, and
in o coach ten miles to her new home.
Soon the duck, which had been liber-
ated from its basket, was missed and
mourned for as lost.
Some time after the housekeeper
visited her old home, and was aston
ished to see the duck swimming on its
familiar pond. That it slowly and
painfully waddled 120 miles was OBJ
vious. But how did it find the way
through rough and hilly country?

WALL STREET AND WAR.

New York. March 26.-Lon-
don prices were steady, but be-
fore the close of the London
market an onslaught was made
on values. A rumor was start
ed that war had actually been
declared. but this found little
belief in Wall street.
The most important fact in
the situation is that it looks as
if the Sagasta ministry would
be again elected. and that the
war party. which is the Weyler
element, will be defeated. This
being the case. it will make a
settlement between the two
countries a matter of fine dip
lomacy, and il congress will
only be careful and not unduly
excite the people throughout
the country and allow the pres
ident a free hand, we think
that before many days are oyer
the beginning OF negotiations
will be brought about.
Spain does not want war, nor
do we see any advantage to be
gained in sacrificing the lives
of our citizens. il Cuba can be
relieved in a way which diplo-
macy will permit. It is even
stated that the president is
working a plan which will give
Cuba its complete independ-
ence without sacrificing the
pride Of Spain.
In every other crisis in Wall
street the injury was done after
which gold was imported from
the other side; bnt the bankers

Washington, March 26, 1O:3Op.
m.-The report of the inquiry
board will be published Monday.
Spain evidently anticipated the
purpose Of the United States to
force close of the conflict in Gu
ba, and has today asked time to
end the war. President Mckinley
still hesitates to accede to this re-
quest. and it is not unlikely that
he questions Spain's sincerity in
the matter, as such dodge might
be employed by the dons to afford
them more time to prepare for the
seemingly impending conflict.
The president may ask a con-
gressional investigation of the
Maine disaster.
In whatever action he may take
the president will be sustained by
congress, provided he is firm.
It seems now to be generally be-
lieved that Intervention for Cuba
will follow the publication of the
report. With public sentiment so
overwhelmingly favorable to such
action, it seems that it would re-
quire superhuman power to resist
such a force.
