are made in every conceivable shape.
The smart three-cornered hat OF rough
straw with the stiff pompon or tuft OF
ostrich feathers and with the brim
bound with velvet, is quite popular,
while those of the tucked or plated
chiffon or mousseline de sole are made
up not only in this severe style of three
cornered hat but also in the large PIC
ture hats that are so lavishly trimmed
with jetted lace, ostrich feathers ana
artificial flowers, Fortunately, the pic
ture hats are not as large as they were
few years, for massing so much TRIM
ming together is very apt to make the
head look top-heavy. The velvet hats
for winter are many of them copies OF
picture hats, and show that ostrich

be immensely fashionable. The bon

different changes are rung in it. The

very rarely unbecoming. One of the
most useful styles in hats for this Win
ter, or rather, for autumn, is a soft
felt hat trimmed only with bows and
loops of ribbon, Such a hat as this de-
fies wind and weather, and is suitable
for all occasions, but requires to be just
the right shape to be becoming. There
are two new shapes this year, one quite
small with the brim turned sharply up
at the back, and with bows covering the
entire crown, starting from the back
of the hat Another, a larger shape,
has only one bow, a large one with dou-
BILE loops, put directly in front of the
crown. It is not quite so smart as the
other hat, being more on the picture
order; but it os very becoming to girls.
A shovel-shaped hat is to be one of
the popular styles for early autumn
wear. 1t has a band of velvet around
under the brim, and a big velvet bow
and qullls, and an immensely effective
buckle The buckle, in fact, is the on
ly striking feature of the hat. The mo-
del hat was of green felt with black
velvet and qulls and a buckle of old
silver set with green jade stones. All

KEEPING FISH WITHOUT ICE,


Important Experiment by the United
States Fish Commission.
The difficulty of keeping their mer-
chandse fresh is q cause Of great trou-
BILE and loss to fish dealers and ship
pers. Ice is only partly satisfactory
inasmuch as its use has a tendency to
deprive the FISH of flavor and firmness,
while the moisture from It's melting
hastens decay Hence it has been the
desire of the United States fish com
mission to devise some other methods
by which fish may be preserved and
recently experiments with this end in
view have been conducted at Woods
Hole.
Bluefsh, weakfish and bonito were
used for the purpose. In the first eX-
pertinent twenty-four weaktisf were
taken alive from the nets, carefully
dressed and washed with a one per
cent. solution of salicylic acid in sea
water. Notwithstanding the we'll
known preservative quality of salicyl-
ic acid, this trial was total failure.
So likewise was the next experiment.
which was made with a five per cent.
solution of formaldehyde. But very
different and entirely successful results
were obtained by the use Of boric acid.
Twenty-four weak-fish, freshly killed
and dressed, were washed with a per
cent solution of boric acid in sea water,
Twenty hours later they looked as
If they had Just come out of the sea,
the flesh being hard and firm, and the
eyes clear, though no ice had been used.
1t was hot weather, and other weak
fish, killed and dressed at the same
time with these, but not treated with
boric acid, We're in advanced stages of
putrefaction. one of those preserved
with borlc acid was cooked and eaten
and found to be excellent.
This promises to be a most import
ant discovery. The fishes thus treated
are in no sense "embalmed," but, after
the removal of the viscera, the inside
of each is simply washed with a sponge
that has been dipped in the solution.
This must be done Immediately after
the capture of the fish. If the latter
are thrown about left for while be-
fore being dressed, and then put in bar
rels the preventative process will not
work satisfactorily.
The conclusion drawn is that the |
boric acid solution retards decay in its |
first stages, being so effective even in
hot summer weather that there is time
to get the fish to market, where it may |
be iced and kept fresh for long time. |
The acid is not used as a preservative |
in the ordinary sense, but as an agent |
of cleanliness. AS each fish is merely |
