able florists, many have been ordered of
modest field flowers. Daisies, field carrots
field phlox and dogwood are some OF the
wild blooms which will be used. They will
be mixed with asparagus fern in the usual

carried by other brides will be long-stem-

With everything in fashion tending to-

trousseaux fashioned for spring wear reveal
splendors never seen before.
The rough curtain laces go much employ
ed elsewhere are not in favor for these daz-
cling frocks, though the brides mother,
even II she has reached sixty, may wear a
gown OF ivory yak, which is a coarse dem
telle made from the wool of that animal.
The superiority of this wool lace over the
cotton sorts is that the threads are shrunk
before weaving. The patterns are the same
as in the cotton laces, and, with the inser-
lions whipped together in the same way,
the yak gowns are also built over founda-

SULTAN WILL REFUSE
NEW SCHEME FOR REFORMS IN
MACEDONIA SUBMITTED TO
TURKISH RULER.

Constantinople. Oct. 26. - The
scheme of the powers for the ameliora-
tion of affairs in Macedonia has been
submitted to the porte. 1t has for its
guiding principle control of and sur
veillance over all branches of the adj
ministration of the disturbed prov
inces by Austria and Russia for a
period Of two years. The proposals
include the appointment of one Aus
trian and one Russian assessor. to be
attached to the staff of Hilmi Pasha,
the inspector general. with corps of
assistants. secretaries and inter-
prefers, whose duties will be to exer-
else control over all the acts of the
provincial authorities. A European
general in the Turkish service is to be
appointed to command the gen.
darmerie and he will be assisted by
an adequate number of Russian and
Austrian officers acquainted with the
languages Of the country and, If nee
essary. by Austrian and Russian nom
commissioned officers. A couple OF
Further Important Proposals,
which will be opposed by the sultan,
provide for the establishment OF COM
munal autonomy and the rectification
of the present communal boundaries,
with the view to the better distribu-
ton Of the various communities and
the creation of spheres-Bulgarian
Albanian, Servian, etc.-that shall be
more homogeneous in nationality and
religion. Other points of the scheme
deal with the relief of refugees, the
rebuilding of villages, schools and
churches, the disarmament of the ir-
regular troops and the prohibition of
the employment of Bashi Bazouks.
Opposition to the whole scheme is ex-
pected on the part of the porte. but
the Austrian and Russian ambassa-
doris demand the adoption Of the plan
with the least possible delay.
1t is thought that some Of the other
powers may object to the appoint
ment of exclusively Austrian and Rus
sian assessors and demand that the
commission of control be given a
more international character.

Ether Vibrations.

The effect of movements in the ether
depends upon the rapidly Of the vibra-
tons producing them. The unit OF
measurement for short waves in the
ether is the bicron, which is about ont
twenty-five millionth Of an inch. Waves
measuring $50 to $40 bicrons affect our

Invisible rays, to which the actinic and
