 Wells are not being worn nearly as much as they were in past seasons. When one is admissible it is at most only an almost invisible gauge. With a rough rider hat or any headgear along it's general lines, a veil should not be worn unless it is of the brown chiffon curtain order. The reason for the re- tirement of veils in great measure lies in the prevailing styles of hair dress ing. Women used to wear wells to keep the hair in order, but now the hair is either supposed to be so long that it rolls back in a smooth coil or pompa- dour and cannot grow untidy, or else it is of the curly, escaping kind. The latter sort is allowed to escape and is not considered untidy, no matter how it strays. FLORETTE.

I .BOER VICTORY.

T was misled as to the enemy's posi- tion by the guides and found imprac- ticable ground" So says General Cat acre in his report of what happened to him and his troops in the attack on Stormberg. He also frankly says the reverse was serious and gives a mourn full list of casualties
 There is real war in South Africa and the Boers are showing themselves to be willy and persistent foes. They are also killing or wounding all the British officers they can, and they are killing and wounding many They will be en- couraged by what has happened at Stormberg, but in the end they will have to pay large price for their ob- stinacy and good shooting.

The Numb red stones.

This is the ground of glory.
 This is the field of fame And these--begrimed and gory, Burned with the battle falne-- These are the vague immortals, The nameless of the fray, Deep thronged around the portals Of Deaths eternal day: Bard of the flowing phrases, Muse of the silver lute, Why do you stint your praises, Why do your chords hang mute1 Can we aver you blamcless, Who. sing but of the proud And nigh forget the nameleSs, Enwrapt with earthly shroud? For them no laureled wreathings, No proud, triumphant trains No cheers, no crowds deep breathings, No boastful, brazen strains> With wind kissed banners playing, With wild regardless shout, Their joy was in the staying, Their triumph in the rout! Sons springing from the masses, The homeland to defend Their blood has wet It's grasses, Their dust with 1t will blend! Dead to the acclamations-- Dead when the fight Is donel The pedestals of nations Rest on the ground they won. Their valor ours for buying? The price we blush to own-- Their recompense for dying Was but numbered stone.

HOW PRESERVED FOODS ARF ,sM f5Nt COT ORElTo


 COLORED
 The Department Committee of the To- cal Government Board which has been inquiring into the use of preservatives and coloring matters in food met at St. Stephens House, Westminster, Sir Herbert Maxwell, M F., presiding.
 The first witness was representative of the London Chamber of Commerce. MT. John Walter Copeman of the firm of Petty, Wood & Co.,, wholesale gro- cers. He said that the conservatives generally used in the grocery trade were salt, saltpeter, sugar, oil, vinegar, and glucose. Sulphur was used in bleaching dried fruits such as Valencia raisins, Carlsbad plums, and California april cots. Sometimes the sulphur on Carls- bad plums was noticeable to the pal ate, but not to a very large extent, and he did not think the material was dele terious to health. Tn the case of plums the sulphur communicated bloom and made them pleasant to the eye There was no harm in it whatever. Sulphur was also used for the coloring of cham pignons. When those fungi came to hand they were of a brown color, and they were made white and appetizing by the use of sulphur. Cochineal was used very much for coloring jams, jel-

4 FRENCH DECISION.

l The highest court in France has just | rendered decision which will disturb | the managers of papers that publish l book reviews. A French literary wo- man wrote book which was published
 The Revue Hebdomadaire criticised the
 book unfavorably, and, In the opinion
 of the author, unjustly. The author wrote tremendously long reply to the criticism and sent it to the Revue Heb domadaire for publication. The Revue declined to publish the contribution. The author insisted that the Revue was bound to publish 1t in full. The case was taken into the courts, and the high est court in France has now sustained the aggrieved authors contention. From now out every French author whose work is criticised in any newspaper or periodical can compel that newspaper or periodical to publish such reply to
 There is some fairness in this view of the case and, for all we know, plenty of good French law. But French pa pers can hardly afford to publish many book reviews if they are also obliged to publish Svoluminous answers to them. It is pertinently asked, why should not musicians, actors, dramatists and ar lists also claim and receive from the courts the right to reply to published criticisms of their work?

 she did her part as hostess with much
 kindness and grace, and up to 1897 she | was always present at the Hatfield

 which were among the most regular and l the most pleasant of the social func- tions of the year. It will be remem- bered that her majesty was present at 1 one, in the year of the last jubilee, while in the preceding year the interest of the guests had been concentrated in
 a somewhat different fashion upon Iii 1 Hung Chang. In London, too, Lady | Salisbury entertained largely, and fre- | quently she and her husband held birthday and other receptions at the foreign office or at Arlington street. But here as at all places and times, she was not for the crowd. She was for the few-for her friends and her family,

 minister, from those early days when
 she and he, in the little house in Half
 Moon street, joined forces to write those telling, caustic and fearless articles in a certain weekly paper of 1860 or SO, down to the very last. It is permissible, however, to point out that between Lord and Lady Salisbury there was just that degree of likeness in unlikeness" of character which makes the most perfect union, In ability they were well mated,
 while her tendency to a cheerful opti
 mism and her active sense of humor served as a valuable corrective to his natural inclination to see things more or less en nor As to Lady Salisbury's influence on her children, we may fairly trace to her hatred of shams, and the Hatfield habit of discussion some of that independence of thought of which her sons have always given evidence. Probably, too, we may trace to her in- f1uence as a critic not little of MT.

FASHION NO Es.
All Bulk In Front,

In a general sense there is a lack of large hats in the newest millinery, but there is one type of large hat that is sure to make it's impression of huge ness. This is because it's bulk is placed away at the front, the back, sides and even the crown of the hat being in no way remarkable for size. The artist puts here two examples of this abun- dant type, which is used by young wo- men as their most showy headwear. The upper hat here was fawn velvet, the crown banded with rows of brown velvet It was trimmed with knotted

An authority on the language of golf says that the term "caddies," or "caw- does,'' is akin to ''cad'' and cadet" and means messengers or unattached male servants. Caddies, in fact were orig finally class of men, found in every Scottish town of any size, who were at the beck and call of everybody who wanted an odd job done. Hence, they were at the beck and call of everybody who was starting for game of golf, and now, thanks to the organization of labor, they are employed solely by the golfer.

EDUGdTlON4I,.

Saturday evening the Register dis cussed the school question in truly
 polite, calm and temperate way. We congratulate it on it's ability to keep cool while there is so much warmth
 about. We also congratulate it on the
 fact that it is not blind to the import ance of some of the questions involved in the discussion. But we shall have to pause a minute right here to consid-
 CT this passage in the Registers argu-
 ment: "It is not fair to give the inn
 pression to the public that because
 neither the Board of Finance nor the
 Board of Education has submitted to
 the committee having nothing to do
 with them, the school estimates and
 appropriations for next year, those
 bodies are defying public sentiment
 and overriding public rights" But the
 Board of Finance has submitted or at
 least reported to the Court of Common
 Council the school estimates after a
 fashion. It has reported $377,950 for
 "current expenses" $45OoO for special
 expenses" $500 for printing. and $29, 200
 for interest on bonds and notes What
 the people are criticising is the fact that the statement isn't itemized so that they can tell what Current ex- penses" means. If the Board of Finance generously went as far as 1t did without any legal obligation couldn't it have very properly gone further and given the items which make up current ex- penses?" If the Court of Common Council can't change the estimates made by the Board of Education, and if out of politeness only, why couldn't the politeness have made the report as full and informing as the reports of the es- inmates of the other departments are? Moreover, business is business, even if it is only public business We shall not argue about the legality of the thing, although we fear that the Regis ter has not been quite sound in some of its law. If it is guilty of lese-majes- ty in that matter we will let the corpo- ration counsel take care of it.
 ''The Board of Education is withhold ing nothing from anybody authorized to receive things at it's hands. There | is no reason for it to offer explanation | to a committee not authorized to pass upon it. The same information any | citizen can get for the asking. It is l public property" Thus saith the Reg ster in another part of it's argument. | If the Board of Education will give mates to any citizen who will ask for | t the Board of Education will do 1 tight. If such information hasn't been | public property it certainly should be- We haven't noticed much of 1t floating around, but perhaps it will begin to 1oat now. If the enterprising Register las had the news and has printed just what the public wants to know about he estimates We shall be glad to "copy md give full credit" even at this late lay.
 We must again mildly object to the Registers idea of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the system of in the public schools of New Haven. We still think the com nittee intelligent. Two of it's mem 'ers have, to be sure, shown slight l.

tendency to break quorums and things
 what they were about. It is, of course,
 unfortunate that they have seemed to
 be most impatient with critics of the school system, but that was probably
 because those critics tried their pa tience most. The other members have been more quietly and patiently intel ligent Nor can we approve what the Register says about the witnesses, which is as follows Not one witness has appeared before it (the committed who can fairly be called an expert in the best meaning of that term, while all but one have been men who are ,childless and who therefore know the public schools only from hearsay and theory" The Register probably for gets that Superintendent Kendall was one of the witnesses. MT. Fox, man of more experience in school matters than any witness who has been before the committee, has perhaps not been forgotten by the Register, but only overlooked as it were. It may also be mentioned. not in argument, but as part of the performance, that Superin- tendent Kendall is childless. and, if we are not mistaken no member of the Board of Education has child in the public schools. We do not know about the distribution of whiskers in the edu- cationa! crowd but we hope there are enough to 50 around and to insure sol emnity and wisdom in dealing with ed- ucational problems
 Having thus briefly paused, we re- sume our congratulation of the Regis ter and assure it of our good will.

Make way for Woman. If you don't she wont care, but it is just as well to be on the winning side. A barn in Aroostook, Maine, has long gone un- sbingled because the farmer who owned it was too infirm to climb to the roof, while one of his sons had gone to war in the Philippines and the other to the Klondike. The other day. however, the farmers only daughter came home from the normal school and shingled the barn as well as any man in town could have done, and she didn't once pound her fingers with the hammer, either.

An interesting case has just been de- cided in a Providence court A woman in that city purchased piaho there and ordered it delivered at her resi- dence. It was sent to the house, but 1t wouldn't go in the door. Then the win dows were taken out but that was of no avail. It was then decided to re- move the window frame. The piano dealers were not willing to bear the ex- pense of this Neither was the pur- chaser of the piano. eThe result was that the instrument was trotted back ito the piano rooms, and there it re- mains. The purchaser then wanted her money back, and, her request having been refused, she entered suit for it's recovery. Judgment for the piano deal- ers.

An interesting phenomenon has been noticed with regard to chestnut trees in g street in Brussels, since the install lation of the electrical tram cars The foliage begins to turn brown and drop early in August, to bud and even blos- som again in October. The trees on the opposite side of the tramway behave like ordinary trees. for they lose their foliage in the late autumn and do not put forth fresh blossoms until the spring. Botanists are inclined to be- '1ieve that this singular state of things is due to the leakage of the electrical current at places underground acting upon the roots of the trees, which are otherwise healthy.

General Corbin has received from General Schwan specimen of that cu- rious weapon of war which has been spoken of so often in accounts of the manner in which some of the Filipinos fight, known as the bolo. This particu- lar weapon is so beautifully wrought as to lead to the suspicion that it may have been intended more as a symbol of authority and an ornamented weapon than for use in battle says the Army and Navy Journal. IL consists of a short, broad-lanced blade about eight cen inches in length by nearly three inches at it's broadest part, the blade tapering from the middle toward the haft, as well as toward the point, mak- ing the weapon strongly resemble the ancient short sword. The handle, or haft has silver ferrule heavily chased, and is made of an extremely beautiful piece of native mahogany cunningly curved to fit the grip of the hand and ending with an exquisite specimen of ornate carving in conventional design. The scabbard is made of native wood
