VIOLENT RECREATION.

Occasionally there is a "scene" in the House at Washington, but there are nc such scenes there as can be witnessed in some of the European Chambers
 those of France and Italy, for instance.
 That was rather lively scrimmage
 which occurred in the Italian Chamber
 the other day, when the President, ig-
 noring the demands of the Socialist ob-
 structionists for vote by roll-call, or
 tain bills before the House. The urns
 having been placed in position, Baron
 Sonnino, the leader of the majority, ad- vanced to register his vote, but received from the Socialist Bissolati a violent blow on the temple. Seizing the ag- gressor by the throat and coat-collar, Baron Sonnino threw him down, receiv- ing, meanwhile, many blows and cuffs from other Socialists. More Deputies then joined in the fray, and for few minutes hard knocks were freely ex- changed. While Signor Bissolati was attacking Baron Sonnino, Signor Defe- lice violently struck Signor Torraca and another Conservative Deputy, who de- fended themselves vigorously. Signor Santini and Signor Bertolini also used their fists upon Socialists with effect. Unable to control the tumult, the Pres ident again suspended the sitting. When the combatants had been separated Sig nor Palberti and Baron Sonnino per- suaded the President to reopen the pro- ceedings, if only to afford incontestable evidence of the Socialists violence. Af- ter an eXhortation to calm, the Presi- dent again called for a secret ballot. but the Socialists, shouting for roll call and protesting their determination not to permit a violation of the stand ing orders" rushed to the urns, dash ing some to the ground and carrying

Russia to consider the question of a system of weights and measures for the empire has been drawn up. The com mittee, of which Profs. Mandelejeff and KanoWaloff have been prominent mem bers, recommend that the metric system be introduced gradually, and in com merce only when both parties to the transaction agree to employ it. Altera- tions are to be made in the measures of area and volume for certain articles and also in the apothecaries's weights. Quite an elaborate system to supervise the weights and measures of the empire is proposed, with a main office at St. Petersburg and "control institutes" in different cities These will be founded gradually, and by the year 1920 it is proposed that there shall be 100 of such bureaus. An important recommendation contained in the report is that all weights and measures used in commerce should be examined every three years. That the introduction of the metric sys- tenn is to be postponed will be source of regret to many who are hoping for it's universal adoption

highly wrought effects. But for the manner in which flufferies are avoided ln these dresses, the gown of this pie ture was typical. The plain portions as shown by the artist were oyster colored cloth, the darker parts being striped black and white satin. Black satin pip ing for the skirt, chiffon rutiles for wrists and collar and machine stitching for the cloth tabs on the bodice were the recommendations. Usually in these silk and cloth dresses there is some of the silk upon the skirt, and when there is none there is usually some odd use of the skirt stuff on the bodice to make apparent that it is not a separate fancy waist.
 Straw braid in ribbon widths has been used great deal for hat trimming, and it now appears for belts, collars and dress trimming. It comes in all shades and widths It makes an ideal summer collar holding it's stiffness, nicely, and the edge is not half as uncomfortable as the edge of a starched collar. The col lar is made round, one end Tapping over. This end is faced with silk that hooks may not pull through. It is little se- were looking, but no more so than col lar of plain taffeta. They are excellent for outing and travelling use.

LIQUID AIR.

The liquid air of yesterday and last night was a phenomenon worth notice It was noticed. We have not heard just how much pressure to the square inch it exerted, but judging from some of the talk it pressed out of pretty good people the pressure was very powerful. It Is astonishing how much less cold the liquid air of Nature is than the liquid air of commerce. We can buy liquid air that will freeze even organ- ized charity, but the liquid air that is occasionally provided in such profusion by Nature wouldn't cool a hot stew Indeed, it is very much like the liquid part of hot stew, and the men and beasts in it feel like the other part. But let us not repine We have seen better days, and there are better days to come, days in which we can freeze as com fortably as we now stew. But what day yesterday was to sing Day of all the week the best.'
