Expert Judge of Lace.

Mrs. Potter Palmer is credited
with knowing more about laces
than any other woman in the
country. Lace collecting is one
of her fads, and whenever she
hears of a valuable old piece she
tries to buy it. If it is not fer sale
she at least has a look a. it and
learns if possible where it was
made. Wherever a bargain in
lace is to be had there you will
find Mrs. Palmer. She has visit
ed lacemakers in many countries
and has passed hours watching
them. Her collection of laceS has
grown to such proportions that
one room in her house is devoted
exclusively to it. Trunk is piled
on trunk, every one labeled with
the name of the particular lace it
holds. A book telling where GER
tain kinds of laces may be found
is kept carefully by her secretary.

Fsoundlty Of Fish.

In a chapter on the artificial

the cod and the herring can ever
be extinct or even reduced in
numbers by man, except locally.
A cod of ten pounds has a mil

Latin a Useful Language.

Latin, the pure Latin of Cicero,
Caesar and Virgil, supposed to be a
dead language, is a living tongue in
New York City, and a mighty use
full one, too. In all Roman Catholic
colleges Latin is taught, of course,
very thoroughly and carefully. In
many of these institutions Latin
conversation is practiced, as it is in
Catholic schools in France, Italy,
Germany and Ireland. Educated
Catholic immigrants, unacquainted
with the English language, find it
possible to get along away from
their own country by use of the
common tongue. For instance, the
other night reporter wanted to in
terview an Italian woman vino spoke
no English. A German priest, igno-
rant of Italian, offered help. He
found an Italian boy just two weeks
in shis country, hailed him in Latin
and pressed him as an interpreter.
The reporter would ask a question
in English, the priest would turn it
into Latin, and the boy would put
it to the woman in Italian. The an
swer would travel back from Italian
and thus to English The priest said
that he used Latin in a third of his
parish work end that it was really
of more practical use to him than
any living tongue except English.

A QUAINT FASHION.

A quaint fashion which is being at
tempted is that of little mantles of the
gown material to wear with the street
and carriage dresses. One sees few
at every opening. Many taffeta gowns
are made with nantes. this material
seeming to be especially appropriate
for them. They are trimmed with
ruchings and pleated frills, and some
in wolfe or similar materials, are quite
deliberately decorated with lace and
embroidery. Scarfs Of one kind or an
other, are in the greatest favor. StoleS
of chiffon, made in elaborate shirrings
and cuttings, and trimmed with chif-
fon shower bouquets-there does not
seem to be any better way to describe
them-are seen everywhere. In all the
Paris fashion plates the models are
wearing lace and chiffon scarfs with
evening and house gowns, while man
ties and scarfs accompany most Of the
street gowns. All this goes with the
long shoulders and full skirts of the
sixties. No one would be surprised if
shawls came back.

of one vessel and swung around where
it can be lowered into the other. Sew
eral systems of performing the work
have been proposed. A more unique
part of the business is the prevention
of lateral collision.
For this second purpose an interest
ing suggestion has been made by A. c.
Cunningham, a civil engineer of the
United States Navy, in cooperation
with William Seaton. Their idea is
to employ pumps on either side the
collier or the warship, to drive out jets
of water from holes in the vessels
side in the direction of the other craft.
In the drawing which is here copied
from Engineering News, a jet is rep
resented as issuing from the collier.
The other arrangement would work
equally well, of course, though it may
be questioned whether naval construc-
tors would favor making this apparat-
us a feature of either cruiser or a
battleship. Mr.. Cunningham says:
The author has designed an appar-
atus for use in coaling ships at sea by
means Of which vessels may safely lie
alongside each other for the purpose.
The general principles of the apparat-
us are illustrated in the accompanying
cut. In the illustration the jet appar-
atus is shown as a separate installa-
ton and fitted to the collier. The cir
culating and bilge pumps may, how
ever, be used to produce the jet, and
the latter may be fitted to the warship,
instead of to the collier.
With the apparatus projected the
ships are kept from touching each 9th
er. and are maintained at the required
distance apart by means of water jets,
which are the equivalent of elastic
struts. The required distance between
the vessels is secured by lines passed
between the ships, for there are no
rigid connections of any kind. 1t is
not intended with this apparatus that
any appreciable lateral speed should
be produced; tendency to separate
the vessels sufficient to keep the con-
Meeting lines taut is all that is desired
or necessary.

PHILOSOPHY OF FASHION.

The question of fashion is much
wider one than is represented by mere
corset-wearing, says the London Ora
phic. Fashion" is human striving af-
ter what is beautiful. 1t is the search
after an ideal, and that ideal is beauty.
All attempts at adornment come under
this head. We see them represented
equally in the savage and in the civil
lied man and woman. The red Indian,
who adorns himself with war paint:
the Australian aborigine. who splits
his nose with a bone pin; the Botocudo
Indian, who drags down his lower lip
with q heavy ornament fastened inside
his mouth; the Loohah woman who
drags out her upper lip on disc, and
thrusts the tooth of an animal through
her lower lip, all exhibit their own and
special ways of striving after an ideal
of beauty. There is no real difference
betwixt the modern woman of the
West who tight-laces herself and de-
forms her chest, and the Chinese
woman who in obedience to some old
ideal. hns had her foot malformed by
her mother The difference is only
one of degree, not of kind. Each is
following blindly, more or less. the
pursuit Of an idea-that of beauty, and
the appreciation of beauty, when all is
said and DONE is only matter of lati-
tude and longitude.
But the following after ideals of
beauty, real or false, is a matter which
goes much deeper into the history of
humanity than most of us are given to
believe. Nature began the beauty
search when she gave to plants their
colors and to animals their hues and
decoration. In plants, color has Il pur-
pose-that of attracting insects for the
work of Decentralization. This is the
unitarian side of beauty in the plant
world. In animals Darwin maintained
that beauty was due to what he called
selection" of sex. 1t is the male ami
NAL which is decorated. We see this
familiarity in birds and quadrupeds.
The peacock, the pheasant, the bird-of-
paradise and the lyre-bird are beautiful
in the males alone. The females are
dowdy creatures. Their role in life is
TO bring up the young; and fine feath-
ers being likely to attract enemies, ma
ture DEGREES that the mother birds
shall dress in sombre array. So, too,

in appearance pertains to the male lion.
not to his mate. When we come to civ
ilized man, note how things are re-
verSed. 1t is not man, but woman, on
whose shoulders is laid the practice of
beauty. In her dress and belongings
she represents the ideal of form and

MANTLEs REPLACING JACKETS.

Long coats and jackets, the united
garments that, in cloth, were for time

the mantle. An exquisite mantle is

guipure incrusted over strips of pale
blue panne velvet, says the Delinea-

ders, giving to the mantle the form of
a fichu, and the long ends, which fall
to the knees. are scattered over with
tiny Louis XIV. bows, in pale blue satin.
