FASHION NOTES.
Fashionable Spring Shades.

The colors that are most abundant in the showing of spring suitings are navy and royal blue, castor French gray, wedgewood blue, biscuit, violet and mushroom. Biscuit seems likely to give French gray a hard running. It con- pines charmingly with white, which is also one of the good points about the French gray, and it harmonizes with out coldness with blue, lavender, lilac and pale yellow No costume is deem- ed right unless white is in some way combined with it, and nothing seems dressy 1Aout some white at the neck,

brandy at breakfast every morning and Who found milk "tasteless" were be- trayed by their complete inability to pay attention during the first hour of the morning. A singular fact was brought out that in Bonn there were many more girls than boys who break lasted with brandy.

z The owners of small stores in Chicago are again organizing for the purpose of renewing their fight against the depart ment stores in that city, and they have presented a bill to the Illinois legisla- ture to tax the big stores out of ex- astence. The same thing was tried two years ago, but the movement failed of its purpose, and it is probably destined to fail again.

It is said that Queen Victoria contem- plates promulgatlng a new set of regu- 1ations for the drawing rooms and levees At present there can be only two hundred presentations at draw ing room, but no limit is placed upon the number of women attending it. It Is probable that in the future the at tendance will also be limited to a fixed number, and that an intimation will be made that women are not expected to come to court oftener than once in two years. This rule will not of course ap- ply to women who attend officially, such as wives of ministers, and so forth. There will also be a limit to the number of both presentations and attendances at the levees.

As modern exploration progresses it is found that the deserts on the old maps have shrunk greatly in size. The Giba desert in Asia is still generally considered huge waste, but late trav- elers declare that it is not sandy stretch in any sense of the word, but really a piece of land very much like the steppe A fair amount of rainfall is enjoyed yearly and caravans moving from China to Urga find wells about every thirty miles. Wandering Mongo- Hans keep flocks on the grass, growing generally over the hills and valleys, and only in times of extreme drought is 1t that water cannot be found. It was from this desert that the countless barbarians came, to check whose visits the great wall of China was built.

The authorities of the city of Bonn have recently carried on an investiga- ton of the alarming prevalence of all coholism among the pupils of the prim- arv schools of that city. The results show that out of every hundred chil- dren sixteen did not drink milk, refus- ing it on the ground that it was taste less.'' Out of 247 of the age of seven wears there was not one who had not drunk wine, beer or brandy; 25 per cent. had never tasted brandy, but hab- itually drank beer or wine. Eight per cent. of the children received glass of brandy from their parents "to make them strong" Some were confirmed cognac drinkers. It appears certain from this inquiry at Bonn that the more children are accustomed to alcohol the more indolent are their mental pro- cesses. Those who took a glass of

An automatic teapot, infusing tea any required number of minutes, is the idea of a Scotch chemist, Edward Stan ford. The infusion vessels stands on an ordinary teapot. An indicator regulates the speed at which quantity of water falls into the infusion vessel, and at the end of four minutes, or the time neces- sary for the infusion, the liquid, having risen to a certain height, runs by means of siphon into the teapot. The appar- atus is useful not only for tea but for Pharmaceutical infusions.

They will be encased in water-tight coverings, and connected to the dyna- mos by flexible cables.
