IN SILKS AND vELvETs FOR EVENING.

many very stylish costumes. The gowns
of velvet are of especial interest Time
was, you know. when a fine velvet need
ed but very little ornamertation TO be
trimmed enough for any purpose, But
standards are quite different now. There
are a great many velvet tailor gowns,
and these are made in the severest posi-
BILE ways. 1t won't do to confound these
with evening dresses, so the latter are
made very ornate, their trimmings more
profuse than anything demanded in re-
cent seasons for such material.
VelvetS bear this lavish treatment fine
". They always would have done that,
but it was thought more tasteful to have
them stand almost alone ON their own
ineness. Now they come in for trimming
with silks, for braiding, finish of passe-
menterie. and for the unusual features of
cut that help so appreciably toward va
riety in dresses of other materials. Black
velvet is much combined with white silk,
but the combination usually escapes the
black and white classification owing to
the use of color on the silk. 1t may be
a weave in which white background is
figured i'll color or a white silk embroid-
cred in color Such white goods then
may give yoke fronts and portions of the
sleeves, and on the skirt may appear in
front panel or bands or in both. Vel
vets in colors show much lace trimming
the lace pieces often edged fancifully
and some dresses show slashing through
which silk of another color, or another
shade of the color of the velvet, can be
seen. Applications of silk of contrast
ing shade are used much, and there may
be button trimming to match this Orna-
mentation. Fur trimmings are put on
velvet too, and many forms of made
trimmings are available, so altogether
velvet gowns are an appreciate factor

from the shoulder downward is nicely
graduated, so as to be an extension of
the shoulders own droop. Sleeves that
are series of ruffies are many on dressy
bodices. The lowest is az lace or fImy
material, and the uppermost often is I'm
ished with lace trimming, but this is per-
fectly dat. A few tailored sleeves ara
almost OF the same diameter throughout
their length. Such fullness as there is
at the elbow is confined by finish Of cord
or braid and buttons or by inconspicuous
passementerie. Most evening sleeves
cover the elbow. In the whole field there
is no lessening of the diversity in sleeves,
the only common feature in them being
the slope, and that appears in many de-
grees.
Boleros are more impressive than they
have been of late. The tiny, incense
Quential affair not much bigger than
bit OF trimming is little in evidence. but
there often is more of effect than of
real jacket. This is especially true of
elaborate gowns. Tailors, OH the con-
trark use the sure enough bolero, well
clea& of the waist and accompanied usu-
ally by wide girdle belt. Most of these
jackets are loose, and individuality is
sought for in their establishment Some
are cut away at the bottom in front to
show tight waistcoat. but more often
there are tab ends in front. These may
be round or pointed All are short, rare
ly do they reach below the girdle's lowest
edge
Tailor styles surely are becoming more
severe. Progress has been making slow
" in this direction all winter What
checked the change in standards was the
imperative need of maintaining variety
in the field. This wasn't easy when plain

RUSSIA MAKES REPLY
LONDON PAPER SAYS JAPAN'S
DEMANDS ARE REFUSED
Early War Is Predicted, and the Ex-
pectation Is that on Formal Answer
BEING Given Envoys Will Get Pass

The London Daily Graphic says it is
able to affirm that Russia's draft of her
reply has been communicated &c NJ. Ku-
rino, the japanese minister at st. Pc
tersburg, who has transmitted the con-
tents to Toxic, whence it will be con-
yeyed to the friendly powers.
The Russian reply is courteous, the
Daily Graphic continues. but it refuses
in uncompromising terms to permit the
reinsertion in the draft of the treaty OF
the two words guaranteeing the integ
rity and independence of China, upon
which Japan insisted in her last note
The clause proposed by Japan was that
Russia and Japan should mally agree
to respect the integrity and indepen-
dence of China and Korea Russia has
now stricken out twice the words China
and" and it is understood that this will
close the negotiations.
Predicts Declaration of War.
1t is probable. the Daily Graphic goes
on, that when this note has been present
ed Japan will notify Baron de Rosen
the Russian minister at Toxic, that she
has no alternative but to tQke up arms
IN defense of her interests, aud that NJ.
Kurino will be instructed to demand his
passports.
In the meanwhile instructions have
been sent to the two Japanese cruisers
now ut Colombo to proceed TO Singa-
pore. where, in the event of war being
declared, their crews will be raid off
and the vessels laid up.

BIRDS OE ARGENTINA.
In Color They Are Beautiful and They
Are Great SinRers.

In Color They Are Beautiful and They
Are Great Singers.
Among Argentinas's greatest treas
ures are her birds, which abound there
in great number and variety, says the
Montreal Herald. One popularity OF
the birds is their gaudy plumage,
brightest scarlet, orange, olive yellow.
pink and green-painted perhaps by
the southern sun.
In color they are beautiful and in
songs wonderful. Let us go to the
woods bordering the river and see how
many we can find. Yonder bird is
called the "arm of fire" on account of
its bright color. He appears to take
great pride in showing himself. There
is the cardinal with the scarlet crest
white breast and dove-colored back,
also the yellow cardinal with yellow
body and black crest. 1t is so named
because its crest resembles the cardi
nails hat. That beautiful pink line
that you see in the distant sky is
flock of pink fiamigoes. They are near
ing us. Nav they all alight upon the
sand at the margin of the river How
pretty they are! Listen to that ex
quisite song. That is the "bugero,"
a large black bird with white beak.
From the grassy marsh comes the dis
cordant cry Of the heron, and the green
parrots are chattering in the trees
over our heads. They think their
scolding wiwll brighten us away. See
that lovely golden wren creeping up
the tree, hunting spiders. He does not
seem a particle afraid Of us. Hear the
sweet voiced robin. They are much
finer singers than the robins of our
country Here we find a doves care
lessly made nest with two white eggs
lying on the ground. This dove is very
small. not much larger than canary.
That modest little gray bird is the bur
bull or nightingale, which keeps his
sweet song for the night.
There is a tree that apr ars to be
covered with balls OF co q, but in
stead of cotton it is a &c of magpies
summing themselves. They drop their
wings and fun out the feathers of the
back until they resemble balls of cot,
ton. They are singular birds. One will
catch frog and run around before the
others. apparently to tantalize them.
When they battle they jump into pool
Of water. then out and roll in the dust
then into the water again. They Inn
pose on each other by several hens lay
ing eggs in the same nest The eggs
are very pretty, green and white mingl-
ed.

ALMOST A MIRACLE.
Matching Chickens from Preserved
Eqqs.

Eggs.
The London Lancet recently pub
lished an article describing some ex-
periments which had been made for
the purpose of determining whether
eggs could be Matched which had been
preserved for twelve months by inn
mersion in a 10 per cent. solution of
sodium. 1t was said in the article
that chickens had been Matched from
these eggs. A correspondent of the
Lancet now writes to that journal
narrating some experiments which
friends of his undertook for the pur-
pose of verifying the statements
made. Twelve eggs were collected in
June, and imme diately placed in 10
per cent. solution of sodium silicate
and completely covered by the solu-
ton and marked and with nine other
newly-laid eggs were placed Under
hen. All the newly-laid eggs Matched
out within three weeks, but the four
preserved eggs did not hatch. One of
these eggs were boiled and was quite
fresh; the other three were broken
and the yolk fell out separately from
the whites. The whites were whipped
up and became quite stiff. This is
stated to be the best test of a fresh
egg. 1t is of interest to note that
these preserved eggs, even when they
had been incubated for three weeks,
still remained perfectly fresh, seem
ing to indicate that the shells were
still impermeable to external infiu-
ences.
Assuming that the remarkable pre-
serving effect of the sodium silicate
is due to the formation of insolu-
BILE glass with the lime salts of the
substance of the shell, it is curious
that it has been possible to hatch out
a chicken without first making the
shell again permeable to air. The ex-
pertinent is one which should be re-
peated after the shell has by some
method again been rendered perme-
able, for it seems improbable that the
Matching of such preserved eggs oan
take place if the shell remains inn
permeabIe to air.-Scientific Ameri-
can.

WHEN THE VOYAGE ENDS.


Two ships, which for time
Beside each other lay,
At anchor in a foreign cline,
Together sailed one day.
A while, across the main
The self-same course they took,
Until a mighty hurricane
The seas with fury shook.
Then, by the tempest tossed
When it had overblown
Each captain mourned his consort lost
In ocean depths gone down.
Both vessels onward sailed,
Toward England's southern shore,
But neither all the voyage hailed
Or saw its fellow more.
At length, in thickest night,
One entered Plymouth Sound;
And. 10, when broke the morning bright
They side by side were found.
How many on life's seas,
In peace and amity
Sailing together in the breeze,
In storms part company
But when the voyage ends,
And storms and gloom are past,
Long sundered yet still loving friends
Shall meet in port at last.
