MILLINERY HINTS.
Boat-shaped Hnts for the Coming
 Sn,,u,er fsfFI


 Summer Girl.
 Boateshaped hats are to be worn again by the spring and summer girl of 1S9s-so say the milliners-but the sailor hat is to lead the procession. There are some charming hats with high crowns, slightly sunk in at the top, and narrow brims turning up on either side. Cloven crowns are to he worn, but the sunk crowns which look as if they had been pressed in by saul cer are newer. Big hats with fiaring picture brims and high, marrow crowns are to be loaded with flowers, leaves and feathers, and low-crowned hats, which, when trimmed will resemble flower tur- bans, have narrow rolling brims.
 The sailor to lead the way for small er hats. To be sure. it is in some of its phases a very different sort of head gear from the one we are apt to assoei- ate with that name, but the new shapes all bear at least a familiar resem- blance to the trim, stiff, severely plain hat which has been such boon to the tailor-made, shirt-waist-wearing traNelH8 CT dttiletlC No1iloh MI tiiS past five years.
 Fancy straws of various kinds are being made up into sailor hats; the speckled black and white we are familiar with, but rather new is yellow with yio- let, red with green, brown with black. and other combinations, including red with gold. A great many of these hats have plain color under the brim, which is becoming treatment, more es- pecially to women of a certain age.
 Japanese chip and Panama straw. both delightfully."- cool and light, are to appear, not only in white, black and pale eolors, but in glaring leaf. green. This is expected to create a sen sation as well as q success. White sail. ors. the brim lined with green, are very summery and pretty. The French sailor has a broader brim and a crown bit higher than it had last year. The Eton has a broad crown and narrow brim. X black Panama is called the Dakota. and sailor made in pedal straw in brilliant shades of color is dubbed the Cuban The Rotten Row is another shape, somewhat higher in the crown, with a narrow brim; it is of fine straw and has a velvet band and a quill stuck in it at one side. The samoa is made of plaited straw in a chess=board pat tern quarter of an inch wide. Tuscan straws are in favor, even for the broad brimmed sailors. and the Ninterton the Kingston. the Saville, the Paddock and the Newmarket are the leading shapes Rustic straw hats with high crowns are known as the Woodland
 The expensive sailor is very dainty affair this season. It is beautifully lined, the crown with leather, the sides with satin, soft pad of velvet inserted in the front, which makes it sit snugly on the head. What is to become of the pompadour coitfure when the sailor hal takes up the reins of government re. mains to be seen. Certain it is that both cannot serve the same mistress N. Y.

Fight Against Allowing Yourselves
 toBc Submerged by Personal Griefs.
 There is always remedy for q heavy heart It may be in work-it oftenest is. It may be in thinking out the joys that have been given to you, and the sorrows from which you have been saved. It may be in helping others by sympathy, or in whatever way help is most needed But the heavy heart can always be made light if self Is forgot ten. and the needs of others are remem- bered, and, as far as possible, relieved. Not one of us can learn to become light hearted in a day, or week. or a month. or a year. for it is the lesson of life, this knowing how to lift our hearts up and give from them help unto those who are in need. It is good iight-this one against allowing ones self to he sub merged in personal griefs-it is a good fight, and out of it you can come con queror if you will.
 Do you intend to give mp the fight and fall by the wayside overcome by q heavy heart, or to go along through life as brave woman should? You must decide this early in your life. And you will. feel sure, decide to do that which is right, and then your heart will never be heavy nor your conscience disturbed, unless you fall. And when you fall, thank God, you can always rise again if you keep up brave heart.-Ruth Ash more, in Ladies Home Journal.

in 1891, charged with 20 pounds of gun powder. Four years later the brig Dorothea was completely demolished at Dover, England, by two torpedoes fired by clockWork. Net it was not until our civil war that the torpedo became q sue cessfal, systematic agent of destruction. On December 12, 1862, the United States ironclad Cairo was destroyed in the Yazoo river by two torpedoes which eS- ploded directly beneath her. She was so shattered she sank in 12 minutes. Again in the following year we lost the ironelad Baron De Kalb in the same fashion.
 From this time on torpedoes of diver sided types have been in pretty general use. On May 6, 18G4 an electric torpedo charged with 1,750 pounds of gunpow- der completely demolished the Com modeFe Jones. Directly after this event two federal transports and the moni- tor Tecumseh were sunk almost in- stantly on collision with submarine mines. In the succeeding year the monitor Patapsco was destroyed at Charleston with @ men. The confed- crates, during the war, suffered only the loss of the ironclad AIbemarle which was blown up by so-called bar rel torpedo.
 In recent years the most vivid ex- complications of the effectiveness of torpedoes have been in South American

Many Curious Customs Relative to
 the Celebration.

Many Curious Customs Relative to
 the Celebration.
 In France during the middle ages there were many curious customs rel alive to Easter eggs. Before Eastertide began the priests paid round of wis it's, blessing and receiving eggs. The largest eggs are picked out and sent 10 the king as tribute. After high mass in the chapel of the Louvre OH Easter day huge gayly decorated baskets of gild- ed eggs were carried in to the royal presence; the attendant chaplain blessed and distributed them to those present. Then came the substitution of the artificial egg of sugar, paste board. ivory, and so forth, the cover or ease for some daintier gift. Der inger and other writers refer to the fabulous sums of money spent upon luXures inelosed in Easter eggs. It is a little curious that as far as the custom of .egg-roIling is practiced in the United States it has a national reputation only in Washington. How or where it started there no one now living in Washington can tell; but that the enchanting slopes of the white house grounds give it inviting encour- aoement no one will dispute. With every year the crowd of children en- gagged in the sport has increased, and the egg-rolling has finally grown to the importance of festival. The pulp lie schools are closed on Easter Mon day, cad thousands of children swarm about the white house. The grounds are prcttily diversified with little hills and intermediate valleys, and on the knoll above the steepest of these grassy slopes the children gather. Baskets and boxes are quickly emptied, and the sport of rolling the colored egg begins. It has no apparent object, unless 1t is 10 test the strength of the eggshell and to see how many times it will go pumping over rough places without breaking. Some of the little ones try to roll their eggs against others, to see which will break; others run after their eggs as they roll down, to catch them before they reach the bottom, so that they may not break. But they are not long-lived. Even the hard-boiled egg has limit of endurance Before long the first corners have seen the last of their colored treasures broken and scattered over the grass. But the newcomers constantly arriving bring a fresh supply. So the business of the day goes on with ever-renewed yigor. The children come and go from nine o'clock till sundown.-Ch Chicago Tribune.

waters. \ Peruvian guard boat was the first craft to be sunk by an auto mobile torpedo. Still fresh in our memory is the collapse of the Brazilian Aquidaban from the same cause. X torpedo was fired from a gunboat broadside at the Aquidaban. striking her 25 feet from the bow and ten feet below the water line and making hole Ii feet by 12 on one side and a three foot hole on the other. Quite as illus tratiye of the eruptive force of the tor pedowas the destruction of the Huasear by Paul Boynton, who placed torpedo under her bow and discharged it from a safe distance by means of an electric cable. Gnriously enough. the wreclSing ef the cruiser, Blanco Euclada. in the harbor of Valparaiso was much like that of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor recently. A careful examination of both wrecks conclusively proved that the explosives the vessels contained re mained practically intact.
 Turning from historic illustra tion, we shall have 10 confront an elaborate classification to define the various kinds of torpedoes. There are three chief divisions, consisting of buoyant mines, subaqueous mines and locomo- tive torpedoes. The first class of tor pedoes, as well as the second, is purely forpurposes of coast defense. Although the authorities on this subject enter tain pretty diverse views, it is gener- ally held that these contact mines are available for use only in rather shal- low water. Their use involves many perplexing conditions, suea as tht

way connected with the shore. The question as to whether channel or harbor shall be used for navigation de- termines the choice of the system. But no system at present is alone sufficient for coast defense.
 Experiment. has determined that for the generation Of sufficient explosive energy to crush the side of warship not less than q mean pressure of G.50o pounds per square inch is necessary. To this end either gun cotton or dEHa mite must be used. One hundred pounds of dynamite gives the required pressure at q horizontal distance of lit- tie more than 16 feet. To float this dynamite and keep it dry q steel ease is used. Of course the spherical form gives the greatest amount of buoyancy per unit of cross section. So great is the depression caused by tides that where the current is more than five miles per hour torpedoes are useless.
 The charge of a mine is exploded by means of detonator containing full minate of mercury. In gun cotton mines the detonator is inserted in priming charge of dry gun cotton with in a metal case surrounded by wet gun cotton. The least distance between mines for safety is 100 feet, so that two or more lines of mines are neces- sarY to insure a vessels hitting mine. X torpedo electrically connected with

the shore, if struck by an ontrigging or netting of the enemy's ship, signals the fact to the operator in the case mate, who delays sending the firing bat terE current through the fuse until the torpedo is directly under the hull of the vessel.
 Of the locomotive torpedoes there are also many types. But the Whitehead is the only one that can be deemed well-evolved naval weapon. The con troliable torpedo is also movable; it is propelled through the water by a mechanism inside it and is connected by cable with the shore. The accuracy of direction and range of destructive power of the Sims-Edison torpedo is said to be wonderful. It can carry 20 pounds of dynamite to a distance of two miles at speed of about 20 miles per hour. The charge eXplodes on collision with the vessel or by the action of the operator on the shore. The diri- gibility of this torpedo is well-nigh per feet; it appears to pursue its prey as though instinct with life. The auto mobile torpedo, however, has not the restricted use of the controllable one. for it's direction, speed and depth of passage are guided automatically. The Whitehead torpedo, named for it's in ventor, an Englishman, belongs to the latter class.
 Small vessels of great speed, known as torpedo boats, carry and discharge these ponderous missiles. This torpedo
 resembles in shape perpoise. Its orig
 inal design. in fact, was said to be fashioned after this fish. It is made
