PERSONAL AND SOCIETY
SPRING OPENINGS WILL BE A FEAT.
URE OF THE COMING WEEK.
smart People Abandoning.the "stacl,,
Idea in Calling Cards--Late
Corners at Dinners.

This week there are to be dozens of spring
openings and the ladies will make social
affairs of them, and while they chat with
everybody, for everybody goes, they will
look at this hat and that, price everything
in sight, listen to the muse, discuss the
latest gossip and then go to the next sbop
and repeat the experience with another
group of acquaintance. When the dun
week IN Lent arrives the merchants have
concluded their buying and have their
stocks in shape for the Easter buyers, The
Easter bonnet is one of the perennial Jokes
the bonnet, if not the joke, always fresh
and usually saucy.
The ingenious woman takes notes of the
new styles in gowns and goes to her dress
maker. or sits down at home and comics the
features which she likes best. The mer-
chant cannot select such women from the
thousands who attend the openings and ex-
clude the show from them. There is no
way to find out whether a woman is a
buyer or only a locker" for If she does
not buy the first day she may come in
again. The woman who has unlimited credit
or a large pocketbook may select a pattern
bonnet or wrap the moment it is shown.
and have it put out of sight or sent home.
but the great majority of women do their
buying in another way and go from shoh
to shop, closely scanning goods and nrices
until the one that suits both taste and
pocketbook meets the eye The openings
are made as attractive as possible with
MOWERS, PAINS ana music, and often with
carnations or roses. Thousands of roses
were given away at one opening last wear,
and thousands of carnations at another
Each visitor went out with a flower. and
those who saw the women with the fovSerS
wondered what was the occasion, and soon
asI;S3 l the occasion became visitors.
Inc spring opening is one of the events of
through the mail or the press, are as much
considered as an invitation TO tea.

Do We remember, or do We forget
o silent and suffcing ones-ye Trees
That take and pass the storm as summer breeze
The willing SOIL the air. is in your debt
The very waters under earth set
To serve to you all things that best do please!
Wherefore, re stand erect in regal ease.
And parley not with fears nor with regret.
From you the year has date; in you it ends
Forever flows and GIBBS in leafy green;

Toward summers yet to be, or, blessing, bends
Above the shielded leaves of long ago.

HIS DEATH FORETOLD.
Now Chong Expires at the Hour He
Had Named,

Now ChonE Expires at the Hour He
Had Named.
An astounding case of fatalism has
just come under the attention of the
British Columbia medical practitioners,
who find in science no explanation and
but few presidents for the extraordi-
nary occurrence, reports the st. Louis
Republic.
Ten months ago Now Chong, a
wealthy merchant and manufacturer
of paper flowers, had vision in which,
he said, he received a supernatural COM
munication informing him that he
would die at six p. m. the 10th day of
Shap zee, the 18th of January. Before
the Hateful day arrived he closed up his
business, distributed requests and on
the day set for his death was banuueted
by some 20 intimate friends at his resi-
dence here. ... ..s.s
The feast was in progress when he
quietly left the board and retired to his
couch. Just as the clock struck six
he died, without word or struggle.
Much against the wishes of his rela-
tives, an autopsy was ordered, which,
however, failed to disclose any cause of
death. Now the authorities are in a
quandary. as the body cannot be buried
or sent home to China, as desired, with.
out a death certificate, and no local
practitioner can solve the riddle and is
sue one, ~

long eyes in such exalted esteem az to
lengthen them by cutting the corners
Of the eyes. This is done very early
at the age of two or three years-the
outer corner being deftly slit with =
lancet about the twelfth part Of an

lids are drawn outward every day, and
when it is quite curved the eye is still
submitted to the drawing process every
day for long time, with the eventual
result that it becomes long and narrow;

DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
KENT COUNTY FARMER OVER
POWERED BY THREE NEGROES
AND HIS POCKETS RIFLED.

ChestertOwn, Nd, Jan.-5.-A daring
assault and robbery occurred at the
Quaker schOol-house, near Lynchs
station, between 9 and 10 o'clock last
night Charles Long, Jr., of near Wor-
ton Manor, had spent the afternoon
skating on Urieville mill pond and was
returning home alone in a carriage
The moon was shining brightly, and
when near the old Quaker school
house he saw three colOred men. One
Of the party asked Mr. Long if that
was the road to Still Pond, and the
distance to the village. He answered
their questions and was about to drive
on, when they demanded that he alight
stating that they proposed to have his
money. Mr.. Long, who is about %
years of age, endeavOred TO force his
horse forward, but the desperadoes
grabbed him and one of them inflicted
an ugly wound across the hand and
made brutal thrusts at his body with
a knife One stroke gashed his side,
and his OvercOat and other clothing
were badly cut. The WSnan is a
muscular farmer and put pfN& vigor-
Gus resistance, but was quickly over
powered. Two men held him. md while
one held the horse, rifled his pockets
Of every cent he had with him-about
50 or $40. Upon securing their booty,
Mr. Long was released and ordered to
drive on, which he promptly did. The
road is not a particularly lonely one,
and to add to the daring Of the as
sault and robbery, two residences are
Only a short distance away Mr.. Long
states that he would be unable to iden-
tify any of his assailants. Though
there are no clues as to the identity Of
the men, it is supposed by some that
two Of them are the strange negro men
who recently robbed K. w Jones' home
while the family were at supper In
this case a note for 81 600 and other
papers were stolen and scattered over
the ground some distance from the
scene of the robbery.

The dixie and the several skating

ease.
Flash light photographs were made
in the shirt factory yesterday. When
the powder was fahed some Of the
operatives were so frightened that they
started a report that the camera had
