THE COMING FASHIONS,

The wonder now is what novel and
distinctive guise the Easter hat Of this
year will assume. It will have to be
either a marvel of severity and simple
elegance, with the fur, feathers, span
giles and other repetitions of old-time
savagery wholly eliminated, or else it
must be a model from past centuries,
with sugar-loaf crown, half yard or
more high, or with brim nearly as
wide as the shoulders, a la Duchess Of
Devonshire.
A handsome baby's jacket can be
made Of heavy-corded white silk This
should have bishop sleeves and sailor
collar, both Of which should be trimmed
with fine narrow Val anciennes lace. This
lace should also be arranged down each
side of the front and all around the low
er part of the jacket. The whole jacket
shoulGbe lined with pale blue silk, while
fine pattern of forget-me-nots should
be embroidered with Japan floss just
above the lace on the sailor collar, the
sleeves and the rest of the jacket

CiRRION BIRDS OF CUBA.
HideOus Turkey Ruzzards That Are
Allies of the Army.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
A feature of campaigning in Cuba which
has inspired the soldier from the north
with horror and disgust is the presence
of the huge turkey buzzards on the battle
fields. This bird is perhaps in appearance
and habits the most loathsome creature of
the air known to this continent 1t is of
right vulture. stands about two and one
half feet high, and is of lustrous brown
ish- black plumage. The hideous part of
the bird is its head and neck, naked of plu-
mage and reddish, like raw flesh. Below
this is circular ruff of feathers which
seems to accentuate the revolving appear
ance Of the neck. The bill is long and
slender, with a powerful curved tip for
tearing flesh.
Carrion is the food of the turkey buz-
gard, though it will eat fresh meat and,
when in force, will even kill small animals
or birds. But American soldiers in Cuba,
with their dead lying in the thick under
brush, know too well what the approach
OF these yultureS means, and for them the
naUseous birds form the chief horror of
the war. In a letter to a friend in this
city. written after the fighting at Baiquiri
one of the Rough Riders tells of watching
the buzzards come, and shooting at them
as they settled down to their feast. One
OF his company, he adds, who fought as
brayely as the rest during the battle went
into hysterical fit at the approach of one
of the birds, and covered away from it,
crying like child Other instances of the
soldiers shooting at the buZzards and kill
ing OF driving them away have been re-
lated.
Yet there is much to be said on the side
of the carrion birds. They are our best
allies, and as soon as the battle is over

some people have prejudices, is the use to
which the table knife is put in France. 1t
Is much mCre important instrument than
the fork, and. being of steel. the skill with
which the French use it for the convey
ance of food is really admirable. In this
respect they are equaled only by the Ger
mans, who seem to be, at the same time.
more dextarous with other weapons. If
you sit at table with the average French
nan and do not steadfastly keep your eyes
on your own plate you find it impossible to
DO anything but watch his manipulation of
the tools with which he is provided for eat
ing But at the end of the meal there is
performance even mere interesting-that of
the finger bowl The Frenchman before
whom one of these vessels is set begins by
washing his hands thoroughly. then. lean
ing ever it, laves his lips and mustache;
finally, taking a sip OF water he rinses his
mouth vigorously and noisily. and squirts
the water back into the bowl The finishing
touches are made with a napkin and fine
comb or with small pocket brush. The
whole operation, whatever else may be
thought of 1t, is thorough.
There are many curious things in con-
nectfon with French kitchen which it is
much better to know nothing of if one eats
or expects to eat in Paris. But in thinking
of them man must remember that no ar
ticle of food is ever wasted: all find some
use, even If disguised. Thus. to name but a
single instance, tie feathers on a chicken
or duck are the only things that do not en-
te- into culinary employment the head and
comb of a chicken are eaten, and the feet
are always used in preparing soup stock:
the interior fittings find their way into
various co1fections bearing attractive
names Among the various other unfamtl-
lar things relating to the subject that any
one may run across are these: The kitchen
in French private house is usually stu-
ated where one might expect to find the
drawing roofl-or the first floor and in the
front of the house. Butchers do not keen
meat on ice, and their shops are always en-
tirely open to the street, protected at night
only by an IRON railing. You can buy only
beef mutton and veal at a butchers; fresh
pork is soli at charcuterie chickens and
hsh and game at a grocery. Horsefesh
may be SOLD, according to law. at shops
where nothing else is sold; there are forty
of these shops in Paris. Celery may be had
only in summer: but, on the other hand
asparagus is sold throughout the year.
Pumpkins are sold at dairies, and are used
only to make soup.

The Whelps of tbs Lion answer him.
Recent anonymous poem In English paper,
Thcmas Nelson Page in Harper's Weekly.
The oil lion stands I'm his lonely LAIR:
The noise If the hunting has broken his rest:
He scowls 90 The Eastward; tiger and bear
Are ha-rying his Jungle; he turns to the West;
And sends through the uurk and mist Of the night
\ thunder that rumbles and rolls down the trail;
And tiger and bear. the quarry in sight.
Crouch low in the covert, and cover and quail;
For deep through the Fight gloom. like surf a
shore.

Th" hunters turn stricken: they know the dread
roar:
The whelp Of the lion is joining his sire.
