GLIMPsEs OF MODES.

The stylish travelling garment is the long coat of mohair in silver gray or navy blue.
 Canvas in soft makes and almost en- tirely composed of silk is favorite material.
 Notwithstanding their great popu- Iarity last season, lace collars will be worn with bolero coats this year. To wear with foulard dresses, many petticoats are made of the same mate rial with wide accordion plaits and edged with ruehes of muslin to match.
 Sequin robes are more elaborate than ever One handsome gown seen recently was madesof an embroidery of jet paillettes on white ground, worn over an ivory glace taffeta.
 Dresses in preparation are long and full round the bottom and appear as though the wearer was rolled in an antique drapcry, so soft and flexible
 White petticoats are made to an enormous extent this season. Some lovely ones are incrlsted with butter flies of lace, rows of flounces overlap ping and cut in indentations filled with frilled lace fiounces.
 A useful addition to a woman's wardrobe is a yoke of point d'esprit, threaded through with velvet baby ribbon, which will transform an even ing gown into one suitable for less ceremon.ous occasions.

 L. H. Bulkley, Of Columbus, O.. has evi- dently been in conjunction with the kicker and come away dissatisfied, wherefore ha sends in the following complaint: One day there came to Mother Earth A child peculiar from it's birth: Its health was good, twas never sick, And yet somehow twould always kick. It kicked because it could not talk, It kicked because it could not walk: Awake-asleep--by day-by night It kicked away with all its might The kicking child was sent to school; It kicked at. every teachers rule. It kicked at study-kicked at play Andthus through childhood kicked it's way. The kicker" grew to manhood. Then In business went like many men; But every time he closed trade His everlasting kick was made. He kicked and kicked till life was done: He quit because his kicks were gone. No bells were tolled; none sighed or cried, The earth was glad the day he died. Chicago Reeord-I Herald.

Gossip of the Racing Yachts on the Lakes and Ocean


win off the Isle of Wight, will win from whatever American boat that is selected to meet Shamrock H., be- cause, in sober truth, his yacht has beaten Columbia, Shamrock, Val- lyries, Meteors, Sybaritas and crafts designed as, near like the Constitu- tion and Independence as the skill of Designer G. L. Watson could make them without absolute details.
 ''How was this made possible %' Is quite natural query. It seems that Mir. Watson has pond nearly 200 feet long, % feet wide and nine feet deep at Denny's yard, where sham rock IT. was built, and in this trial basin he has made enough experi- ments with the models of his chal- lenger, those of other challengers and all of the America's cup defenders, to prove to his own satisfaction and to that of Sir Thomas Upton, that the British boat will be .inyincible. Of course, the sea tests are theoretical

The Electric Bcrs victim.

At the Geological gardens largC electric eel was swimming in it's tank with more activity than usual, when a big cockroach fell into the water, and in it's efforts to get out made a disturbance of the surface, which at tracted the attention of the eel. The eel turned round, swam past it, dis charged it's battery at about eight inches off, and the cockroach instantly stopped stone dead. It did not even move it's antennae after. The eel then proceeded to swallow it's victim, and the narrator goes on to point out the curious circumstance that the fish, which weighed about 12 pounds, should find it worth while to fire it's heavy artillery at q creature an inch and . half long, when it could easily have swallowed it sans facon.-Chambers' Journal.

They were All Tired.

The parlor entertainer has some amusing experiences, although he is not always good natured enough to tell them against himself. One who appreciates joke, however, relates that on certain occasion he had been performing at an ''at-home," and responding to so many encores that the programme became unusually long.
 After it was all over his hostess and her young daughter came up to him, and, after congratulating him on the success of the afternoon, said, most cordially:
 "oh, MT. Blank, come and have some punch and sit down for awhile. I know you must be awfully tired.''
