The illustrations shown here are of

popular style for evening is that in
which the lightly waved hair is parted
at one side in front, and drawn lightly
and loosely across the forehead, and
then at the back forms deftly-twist-
ed coil low in the neck, and, escaping
from the bondage of sundry tortoise

Worlds Biggest Tree

What undoubtedly is the largest

Gently discovered two and half miles
from the Sanger Lumber company's
mill in Converse basin, far up in the
Sierras, in Fresno county, California
The discovery was made lately by a
party of hunters, and little credence
was given to the report, as every one
thought the description of this colossus
of the forest was exaggerated, but it
has since been visited by people who
have verified the finders statement.
The monster was measured six feet
from the ground, and it took line 154
feet and inches to encircle it, maxi
ing it over 81 feet i'll diameter. This
tree is a few rods from the company's
boundary line and is on government
reserve, hence will stand to interest
sightseers and will escape the wooc

Mysterious forests surround the un-

river where hidden gold mines are
thought to be, guarded by a large tribe
of Indians known as the Napos, who

children of the sun. These Napo In
dians have brought out significant evil

FISH PEDDLERS AND PEDDLING
Preferences of Different NatfonaIi.
ties Shown in the Sales of Sea
Food In New York.

The demand for fish is so irregu-
lar that it is impossible for many fish
stores to prosper. On five DAYS of
the week there is but little call for
sea food, but on two the situation is
reversed. Friday the Roman Cath
ol1cs use it in place of meat, and
from Friday at sunset Ito Saturday
evening the orthodox Jews prefer it
to other forms of animal nutriment,
says the New York Post. To supply
these two classes, gives employment
to several hundred peddlers. Thurs
day is their busy day. They may be
found from early morning till night
fall in the neighborhood of Fulton
fish market. Here they purchase
their stock in trade, and from here
they push their little carts to their
favorite corners or beats. They seem
to have partially for fishes which
are frozen solid. This partiality is
explained by a Fulton market man
by the reason that frozen fish costs
less than fresh ones, or those which
have been kept and preserved by a
moderate use of ice.
The supplies depend largely upon
the district where they are to be
sold. The Irish like cod, the English
founder, Americans bluefish, the Ger
mans smelts, while the Russian Jews
are extremely fond of carp, more
especially the variety which has the
brilliantly cOlored scale plates. Ar
rived at their destination the ped
dlerS have but little time to wait.
In many of the districts there are
crowds of housewives and daughters
standing on the corner waiting for
them, but they do not buy in hur-
ry. Every purchase is the final act
and scene of long drama of bicker-
ing and chaffering. Sometimes the
buyer denounces the peddler as
cheat, turns and prances off in high
rage, but ere a minute has passed she
is back again resuming the argument
Sometimes on busy days a single
break like this enables other buyers
to step in and purchase all of the
dealers stock. Then there is worse
row with the disappointed buyer
than before.
On Hester street on Friday after
noon it is not uncommon to see so
push-carts laden with fish standing
in long lines up and down the street.
The people can always tell the con-
dition of the market by the aspect
of the wagon. In very stormy wealth
er, when stocks drop down, and
prices go up, the peddlers buy as lit
tie as possible.

NO vIoL1Ns IN cREMoNA.
An Amusing Account of the weari.
ness OF the Natives ON the Sub.
ject OF Riddles.

In Harper's W. L. Alden says thas
the Cremonese dislike Eviolins, and
tells amusingly of his search for a vio-
lin in Cremona:
Being in Cremona, naturally went
In search of violins Ihad a va que idea

Amati, a Guarnerius. and perhaps
other treasures of the kind, for next
to nothing, like those fabulous per-
sons who are said to pick up invalu-
able furniture and priceless old books
for a mere music hall song. Of course
l did not find any valuable violins, but,
what was still stranger, 1 did not see
or hear single violin the whole time
L was In Cremona. In every Italian
city there are dozens of shops devoted
to the sale of musical instruments of
all sorts, and, among these, violins
OF all sizes and conditions, from the
young soprano violin to the venerable
and equity contrabass, are exposed in
the windows. In Cremona, however,
there is not a violin to be sold, and
| am persuaded that there is not one

nese. At first 1 could not understand
this mystery. Neither could | under
stand why no one to whom 1 spoke
seemed to take the slightest interest
in the great violin makers of the
town. Baedeker asserts that the
house of Antonio Stradivarius is still
to be seen, and I went in search of it.
L found only vacant lot where the

by policeman, who looked at me
sternly and with evident suspicion,
that the house of Stradivarius had
been torn down. I asked him WHY so
valuable relic had been DESTROYED,
and he replied by suggesting that if
would accompany him to the head
quarters of the police, 1 might posi-
bly, receive an answer to my aues-
ton. l left him more in anger than
In sorrow, and asked no more cues
lions of the Cremona police. From
what l afterwards learned in con-
versation with several of the leading
porters and street sweepers of the
place, | came to the conclusion that
the people of Cremona had for so
many weary years been asked by
strangers concerning the Cremona
violins and their makers that in
fit of justifiable rage they had re-
solved that the entire subject of vio-
Inns should be ignored both by them
selves and the strangers who might
venture within their gates. I cannot
say that l blame them. Their town
has picturesque architecture. a school
OF art OF its own. and history that
1t has a right to be proud of, but the
stranger never thinks these things
worthy of notice, and conceives of
Cremona exclusively as the birth
place of certain fiddles. I no longer
wonder that it is unsafe for man
to speak of violins to the Cremonese.
They are polite people, and long
suffering people, but they are very
tired of violins, and the stranger who
visits Cremona will, if he is pruden'
man, remember this fact

mings Paris seems 20 be dictatin what
we shall wear to a great extent, but it
is an easy matter to submit to the die
tations of such an artist as Paris is
proving herself to be this season.
Black hats will be much favored
judging from present displays, and of
these the kind like best are those of
Lamballe shape, with creamy white
under the brim, plated chiffon or
white roses. etc., and with two black
paradise plumes, one curving out from
under the brim and the other from
above the brim, one just over the other,
and both dropping over the left side to-
gether. Another within of the black
hat is to sport a white plume-''to
show the white feather" as was re-
marked; and this is a note of which
the Parisienne is at all times peculiar
ly fond.
Such quaint turbans are coming
from Paris also. l expect they are OF

UT few years ago for any one
- to intimate that a lady was
wearing a wig, or that all the
hair of her head had not been
placed there by nature was
to insult her grossly. Wigs were, in
those days, counted an abomination,
and while no doubt many wore them,
few told of it. To-day the wigs have
given place to the Transformations"
which are the same thing under a new
name, but transformations" are fash
lonable and not to be disposed, and they
are made up in all the latest coiffures.
The whirl of society has assumed
such swift pace that the overcrowdcd
