NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
New Ribbons, Latest in Hats-This Is
to BE II Season OF Flow
ers.

The new ribbons are soft in tex
ture and in taffeta weave. Many
are corded and hemstitched and fancy
ribbons in general were never more
in favor, says the New York Tribune.
The favorite tints are baby blue,
strawberry, cream and pastel green.
In hat trimmings several colors are
used in rosette bows. Rosettes are
popular, also, as decorative adjuncts
to the toilet. They are worn on the
left side or front of the soft belt.
Sashes, too, are in vogue They
should be tied at the left in front
and should be about ten inches wide.
Many are fringed. Fringed ribbons
are worn on the neck, and should
cross at the back with ends brought
to the front, tied in a bow and left
to fall nearly to the waist line.
Trimmed sailor hats are among the
spring exhibits. Fancy straws are
used largely and the decoration, as q
rule, is composed of weather proof
materials, such as tucked taffeta, rib
bons and quilts. Wings are returning
to favor. and by summer will be worn
extensively. Certainly nothing is bet
ter fitted to withstand the caprice of
April and June weather, the fogs on
the seashore and the dashing spray
on board yacht.
This is to be season of flowers.
Some charming hats recently shown
have the entire crown composed of
flowers, such as forget-me-nots, small
wild roses or the larger crushed rose.
Violets, too. will be worn in this way,
and comparatively new blossom for
such profuse use is the SNOWFALL.
Pansies, peoples and orchids are pop
ular to degree greater than ever
before

William Foley, of Brooklyn, aged IL,
suffered from wood in his stomach. 1t
was wood pulp, nearly two pounds of
it. This condition resulted from the
boys habit of chewing matches and
toothpicks, for which he developed an
inordinate appetite. William became
seriously ill. An operation was enough.
Military engineers are practically
agreed that no material for fOrtifica-
lions is superior to earth. When clay
is not obtainable. as on the seashore,
sand is collected into bags, and these
are laid in regular heaps along the
line of the proposed fertilization. In
such a fertilization the balls from the
enemy's guns sink without doing dam
age, and shells explode harmlessly.

asked the conductor on North side

semidarkness of the tunnel, says the
Chicago Inter Ocean.

asked, in such frigid tones that the
conductor looked confused.

"Then, if there's nothing the matter

you another nickel?"
Nothing, but that he ventured
again.

look at the coin. He grinned. She saw
him grin. That broke what remained
of her dignity and chilling patience.
She testify snatched the coin from the
bewildered conductor. As she was
tossing it into her open purse she, too,
got a look at the coin. The car was
coming out of the tunnel and it was
lighter, so that she could make out the
coin.
why, that is "a" but she was too
much confused to finish the sentence.
Yes, it is a fvelollar gold piece,
madam. You gave it to me-

TOOK WARNING IN TIME.
A Correspondent of the New Voice
Tells Why He Stopped the
Drinking of Beer.

Clarke Irvine writes to the New
Milwaukee and its beer stir up some
recollections of personal experiences.
Since 60 years ago l have had a great
experience in the effects of beer
drinking. During each decade since
1850 1 have seen the greater number
of my old companions and acquaint-
ances of many cities and villages from
Ohio to Nebraska and Kansas, who
were beer drinkers, pass to the grave
in youth or early manhood from no
other cause than daily beer drinking.
can agree with that great German
philosopher, Emmanuel Kant, as re-
ported by De Quincy in his essay on
Kant. Whenever Kant heard of the
death of any man before 60 years, he
said: He was a beer drinker." Yet he
himself was no temperance man, but
quite a winebibber.
l have lately known of the death
of a man who inherited the assur-
ance of great longevity if ever man
did. His forefathers and mothers all
lived to be from rs to 100 years, and
all his brothers and sisters are very
aged and healthy people. He was
the youngest by some 20 years. TWEEN
ty years ago l saw the fatal sign, fat
or bloat beginning on his person, and
warned him of his doom. In ten
years dropsy and heart disease were
manifested, and after suffering for ten
years he died, aged As. In 1852 1 was
living at Cincinnati and travelled
about on business; was a beer drink
er. My first alarm was through the
brewers and their workmen and the
beersellers at retail. AS L would re-
turn and meet the old acquaintances
after a year of absence, l was struck
by the alterations in their faces and
bodies. Bloat, corpulency, were the
more striking signs. Often inquiring
after some l did not see, 1 was told
they were dead. | remarked that
these were always the ''stoutest." One
day Mr.. Walker, of the D'Armsment
brewery, told me of the sudden death
of Walker, of the Bavarian brewery.
from a broken leg. He said that
whenever a brewer got wound he
was almost certain to die. Soon after,
John. a great mighty man at lifting
and, like all the other workmen, a
heavy beer drinker, got his finger in
jured and died of erysipelas, aged
about 30. Soon after, this same Walk
er broke his leg and died, aged about
40 This effectually stopped my beer
guzzling for health. Since then at
hundred different turns, including
Kansas City, ST. Joseph and Omaha, L
have been well acquainted with young
men who kept up the beer drinking
habit and 1 can say of every one who
fattened on it and continued it that
they died of heart disease or dropsy
or pneumonia.
Could you get at the number of
deaths from pneumonia, erysipelas,
heart disease among the brewery
men, barkeepers and beer consumers
under As years at Milwaukee you
woJ!G be astonished.

though he has been carrying the mails
regularly since last July, has as yet re-
ceived no quarters of cent or checks
for those amounts. The young man is
not looking for any remittances on his
salary until next July, when he expects
a check for whole cent. 1t is sup
posed this will be the smallest check
ever issued by the government and eff
forts have already been made to secure
possession of it. The mail carrier has
received several offers of SIS or $50 for
the check, but he has so far warily
avoided any definite entanglements.
Both Dodgeville and Mineral Point
have railroads, but there is none be-
tween the TWO IOWnS. Inc "Trip ITOm
one place to the other by rail is SO
roundabout that it is out of the ques-
ton, so passengers and mail are driven
across country. Whoever has the con-
tract for carrying the mail feels he is
certain of all the passenger trade, for
no one has yet had the courage to COM
pete for passenger business with the
United States mail carrier. For this
reason the transfer of the mail is
deemed a valuable privilege.
Every four years the post Office de-

A missionary from Shansi, China,
says that the condition of the people
of that province, on account of the
opium habit, is most deplorable, rem
dering it almost impossible to get work
of any kind done. From seven to nine
tenths of the men, and from four to
fiye-tenths of the women use the
drug. Boys of 10 have the craving,
and it is known to be fact that in
certain cases infants at the breast re-
quire to have opium smoked in their
faces, in order to pass the craving and
enable them to nurse. While this peo-
pie are trying to exc out a miserable
existence, in the midst of abject pow
erty and opium, they are treading un-
der their feet untold wealth, for it is
definitely stated that running through
Shansi and w. Human is a vein of coal
of the first quality rs feet thick and
over 900 miles long.-Christian and Mis-
sionary Alliance.
