DR.. Carlos Macdonald is recognized
as a most learned insanity expert. In
a public address just reported he has
declared that the legal test of sanity
or insanity is false and dangerous.
The law holds a man responsible for
his acts if he is capable of distinguish
ing between right and wrong. DR..
Macdonald insists that very many
certainly insane persons-particularly
those with "ixed delusions'-while
perfectly able to distinguish between
right and wrong, are hopelessly in
capable of choosing right and avoiding
wrong; that while they are capable of
reasoning s2undly and perceiving
facts clearly they are utterly unable
to resist their insane impulses to do
the wrong.

Two old sailors have started from
Portland, Ore., for coasting tour
around the world. Their course is
down the Oregon, California, Mexican
and South American coasts, thence
across the Pacific to New Zealand and
Australia, round the Cape of Good
Hope to Cape st. Rogue, thence across
the Atlantic to Sierra Leone, thence
along the European coast to Great
Britain. The return trip will be
through the Mediterranean, Suez
Canal, Indian Ocean and China Sea,
and by the Russian coast to Alaska,
and thence home. Their boat, built
by themselves, IS thirty feet over all,
seven feet beam, with center board
and will carry three sails. Provisions
for four months can be carried, and
the men expect to be gone two and a
half years. Both men have been
more than ten years at sea, and sin
gularly enough, they met in gold
mine in California, and in log cabin
concocted the scheme of this adyen-
turous voyage. Atlanta Constitution.

The demand for American honey for
export is increasing. The exports in
1897 were worth 100000 But that
year the imports were as large as the
exports, while in 1898 the imports
were less than in the previous year.
England is the chief buyer of Ameri-
can honey, and ships sail from San
Francisco, from San Diego, and some
times from Port Los Angeles, Cal. .,
carrying large cargoes of honey. The
United States produces more honey
than any other nation. AS long as
thirty years ago the product was 49,
900, 900 pounds annually. Twenty
years ago it had risen to $4,000, 900
pounds, and ten years ago it was 65,-
900, 900 pounds. At the present time
Iowa produces 5000, 900 pounds OF
honey annually, and many States, in
cluding California, produce 1000, 600
to 5,000,000 pounds year.

The bearded man who was asked to
speak at the Women Reformers' Con-
vention on the subject of "Corsets-
Their Injurious Effects Upon the
Human Frame" had spoken at con-

He sat down amid loud applause,
and the professor, who happened to be
rresent, was called on for a few re-
marks. He said:
''My friend who has just preceded
me has said the corset serves no good
purpose. In the course of a life now
well past the middle age, have known
just one exception, which, indeed,
may be considered as proving the rule.
A California COW had become 80
emaciated that when she ate grass it
dropped out through the spaces be-
tween her ribs before it could be acted
upon by the stomach and assimilated
into her corporate system. In this
emergency, and as last resort, q
large corset was strapped around the
COW. This kept the grass in, and
thus the cows life was saved. Still,
she was not valuable cow, and I
should not mention her case here were
it not that in the pursuit of science
we must be rigidly exact. thank

The silk petticoat is thing of great
Importance in these days when so
much depends on the fit around the
hips and exactly the correct amount
Of fulness at the bottom. The new
skirt is cut circular at the top and
fitted as carefully and smoothly as a
dress skirt with no gathers at all at
the back. A deep circular or bias
founce is added at tho knee, and this
is trimmed with piuked, tucked or
corded ruffies. Accordion pleated ruff
fes are very pretty finished with a
narrow pinked ruche, and lace inser-
tions and frills are applied in every
conceivable form IN the more elabor-
ate skirts. Flounces made of alternate
rows of satin ribbon and lace insertion
are another fancy, and pleatings of
black or white net, hemmed and
trimmed with rows of satin ribbon,
are very effective trimming. Inser-
tions are set in points and squares in
the silk founces, and if you want a
very dainty decoration use pleatings
Of chiffon.

young girl she wished to study ami

Finding it far more convenient than
skirts, she continued to wear it at

never appeared in this guise in the

The following amusing description
OF her appearance and manner was
given by newspaper writer who paid
her visit some years ago and sought
to obtain what the artist most dreaded
and avoided-an interview:
"A funny-looking man came toward
me knitting his brows. He wore an
enormous straw hat. Under it was a
soft, beardless face, Drowned by the
sun and lighted by chestnut-colored
eyesaa small nose exaggerated the size
of the large mouth, with rows of su.
perb teeth, and there was o breezy
flew of long hair.
Who are you? Where do you
come from and what do you want?' he
saiu Sharply, stopping ana tnrustlnS
his small hands in the pockets of gray,
ribbed trousers.
"This sharp questioning discon-
certed me for moment, but, recover
ing, l answered, Il am journalist,
and wish to see Miss Bonheur.'
Well, look at her. said the little
peasant, taking off his great hat. You
must excuse me; am obliged to keep
intruders away"
1t is interesting to note that Mile.
Bonheur lad no patience when she
was at the head of an art school with
attempts on the part of her girl stu
dents to initiate her peculiarities of
dress. With her these oddities had
come about naturally and for sufficient
reasons; with them it was affectation,
which she would not tolerate. New

The Girl With Thin Arms.

Thin arps should be carefully con-
cealed. They have an impoverished
look that robs their owner of some of
her dignity. If the arms are unduly
long, as they occasionally are, the ef-
feet may be neutralized by wearing
wide bands of black velvet fastened
with pretty buttons or clasps or
buckles. This reduces the apparent
length of the arms. "Thin arms, "
says M. Charles Blanc, the great
French authority OH dress, "denote
bad health and an enfeebled race. -"
The best remedy is to wash the arms
with a fine lather of soap at least twice
day, and to dry them thoroughly
and rub them vigorously. This treat
ment brings the pores into action and
induces a healthy condition of the
skin. Rubbing with soft chamois
leather is excellent for the skin, Civ

THE NEW HONEY.
Dpme Bees Not Now Allowed 10 Sip the
Nectar of Flowers of Their Choice.

Nectar of Flowers of Their Choice.
Honey is enjoying renewed favor.
Men of wealth and leisure are testing
and experimenting with the different
kinds of honey, and wrinkling their
brows over the problem of producing
what seems to them the most desir-
able flavor during the coming summer.
For the bee is no longer allowed to
pursue his own sweet peregrinations
and sip Of the nectar of flowers wher-
ever he chooses. Honey made in this
promiscuous way is much too ordi-
nary. His actions are restricted and
guided. AS result, such honey as
never was tasted before is tickling the
palates OF many. If it is the white
sweet clover flavor that has gained
favor with the epicure, he goes sys-
tematically to work to produce it; and
plants a large plot of ground, perhaps
half an acre, with this particular kind
OF clover. He has it carefully kept
from weeds, or any other variety of
clover that might endeavor to find a
footing there. The whole bed is in
closed and rooted with fine wire net
ting, and the beehives are then placed
within the inclosure. From the bees
life, therefore. the spice of variety is
plucked, and try as he will he can
produce none other than white sweet
clover honey. In flavor it is very
delicate and almost white in color.
Yellow sweet clover honey is pre-
ferred by others. The flavor is slightly
stronger than that made from the
white variety, and its color is deep
yellow. Then there is the honey that
is made from thistles and milkweeds;
it is amusing to hear producers of such
f1avors tell of their tribulations in
making these wayward plants grow
within their restriction. Some of
the wild flower honey is almost black
in color, and the flavor is certainly
very different from what it was in the
days when honey was honey and that
fact settled the question. 1t is al
most verging on the indiscreet to men
ton buckwheat honey nowadays, al
though it is still acknowledged to have
wonderful Staying properties. -

Highly glazed or polished silks are
not permissible in the present season.
Among the startling innovations are
parasols in bright green silk. Wedg-
wood blues and brilliant reds have, as
usual, large representation among
the sunshades designed for general
use or among those made to go with
outing costumes. The new parasols,
whether of five or eight cores, have the
tips of the ribs finished with ivory or
finely polished bone. This fashion
also extends to the small shades de
signed for carriage use. These are al
elaborated greatly by rich trimmings
OF lace, ribbon, or mousseline, orl
sometimes by cut steel or jet figures
set in between the cores. Where rib
bon ruches are employed, carriage
parasols are not infreG covered
by rows of alternating black and
white ruchings, blue and white and
other combinations, which extend
from the outer edge of the shade to its
capital. Carriage parasols of larger
size are preferred by younger ladies,
and are to be had in chiffon over
taffeta, or of the latter silk with large
and small point-lace figures intro
