HUNTING FOR BUGS AND WEEDS
Searches In Chicago Parks by Low
crs of Nature.
(From the Chicago Chronicle.
From the Chicago News


Students at the University Of Chicago
have been given carte blanche in the south
parks, and the young entomologists, zooio-
gists, botanists. and other students OF ma
ture are immune from interference by
Captain Kelly's park police. Junebugs,
grasshoppers. pinching bugs, and the rest
of the family Of summer insects are in
much demand by the hunters, while new
weeds, new wild flowers. and peculiar
leaves are greatly sought by tn. disciples
OF Linneaus.
The students resort TO fly-ne: lad glass,
and are frequently taken for "cranks'' by
unlocking crowds. The presence Of three
of four students, however, usually saves
the enthusiast from embarrassment. Cal
cagO parks this year are said to be unusu-
ally prolific in bugs and weeds, and many
valuable specimens are expected to be
added to the university museum as re-
suit

WHAT MEN. ARE WEARING.

Brown boots are getting darker in
the shade of the leather, and the va
riety of leather known as willow
calf il likely to permanently sup
plant the more brittle Russia leather.
The long vamps SO much in vogue
should always be ordered, but the
very pointed toes, even for those who
can wear them, are going out of fash.
ion.
Flannel suits will be much worn
again this summer, but dark patterns
should be chosen for town or suburban
wear, a. they do not look shabby near
~ a. quickly as light shades. By
shabby" reference is not made to q
soiled appearance, but, as flannel will
lose its shape quicker than tweed, a
dark suit slightly out of the original
perfect "hang" is not SO unsightly as
a wrinkled light brown, for instance
Frock coats are still worn long and
of very dark gray or black. If in the
former, then the material must be
rough. For summer wear tailors are
not pressing" the lapels, SO when
worn open in the hot weather they
hang better. The "check" button in
side, to fasten the lower button Of the
inside flap to, should always be care
fully fastened before buttoning the
coat up, as it will preserve its shape
SO much longer.
As regards ties for day wear, those
known as four-in-hands, with wide or
apron" ends, are still in vogue, and
as the variety Of patterns in these arc
inexhaustible and of much better de-
signs of silk, they will remain popu-
lar. While on this matter, men should
consider that, in the summer, when
wearing light colored linen waist
coats, dark ties should be worn. With
dark cloth waistcoats they can wear a
scarf as light as they like.
Blue serge suits will never 60 out,
and double breasted coats are becof1=
ing more popular this spring than ever,
but should be worn only by slight men;
stout figures should always have single
Preaste9 coats. Only two pockets must
be made outside, the Outside breast
pocket being eschewed altogether. It's
convenience is no recompense for it's
rapid transition to unshapeliness and
shabbiness. Tweed suits must never
bs made double breasted.-N. Y. Her

FOR MY LADY'S LETTERS.

The coquille paper, which has an
egg>she1 finish, is much in demand.
Monograms and crests are smaller
than they were at the beginning of
the winter, and are invariably inside
a circle. -..-.......
The majority of the tinted papers at
present are made with very narrow
white border. Both the oblong and the
square envelopes are used.
Deep-tinted papers, with the excep-
ton of the new fad of khaki, are sell
dom used by the woman of refinement.
The pale tints are the fashion of the
moment. Delicate heliotrope, pistachio
green, pale blue and faint gray are all
in favor.
An envelope novelty which promises
to be favorite is oblong in shape. with
the flap extending diagonally across
the back of the envelope, and the point,
instead of being in the center, aspsual,
is at the extreme lefthand corner.
Khaki paper is much used by the
young person addicted to fads. But
it is not an attractive paper: Khaki
color, that dull shade of Manila brown,
Is anything but pleasing. The khaki
paper can be bought plain, and also
with a narrow red, white or dark blue
border.
The organdie paper is special favor
tie at present. There is just a sug-
gestion of resemblance in it's weave to
the organdie SO much used for summer
gowns. It can now be bought in the
bond paper. as well as thicker quality.
and comes in heliotrope, blue and
white.
The woman who always does the COR
rect thing never perfumes her note pa
per. She never uses paper of strik-
ingly pronounced tint, and she does
not change it with every whim of fash
ion. She adopts style of paper which
she intends to make distinctively her
own. and then clings to it.
The most approved tint for writing
paper at present is pistachio green. And
the women who are fortunate enough
to have a country house have the name
of their summer home printed in white
letters at the top of the green sheet.
1t is matter of individual fancy
whether the paper has a white border
or not. 1t is equally correct either
way. The pistachio green paper is
also, stamped with the owners mono
gram in very small white letters inside
. circlet of silver.

GENERAL UTILITY PLANT.

It is difficult for anybody who has never visited the celestial empire to form the remotest conception of what the possession of the bamboo means to the Chinese. From cradle to grave there is not a feature of their daily life, either in work or pleasure, into which it does not enter, nor a corner of their homes in which it cannot be found fulfilling one or other of it's null hilarious uses.
 In this country we know the bamboo chiefly in the form of miscellaneous ar ticles of furniture. but in China 1t not only furnishes the house, but it is used for the framework of the structure, while the leaves are employed to lhatch it. The water supply is carried in bamboo pipes, both for domestic use and for the purpose of irrigating the tea plantation; the bamboo agretis, a spiky variety, is used .1c form a hedge around these plantations and other in closures.
 The shoots of one kind, bambusa tulda, are boiled when young and cat en like asparagus, with bamboo chop sticks, or sometimes picked, and the seeds are used as a substitute for rice.
 Mattresses and pillows are stuffed with bamboo shavings; the fisherman $ raft is made of bamboo, and so are h.s ropes, sails, and poles; the paper the chinese write on, their collins, musical instruments, soldiers spears, medi- cincs, cooking utensils, pens, brushes, bird cages, blinds, water-wheels, fans, measures and a thousand and one other indispensable articles of every day life are all fashioned from it.
