submit; but nevertheless she reigns
supreme. The past winter has been
marked by her sway, the coming sum

The best shops are showing princess
frocks of white Linen, null and other
sheer material made in princess style;
wash dresses amany made after this
fashion. To be sure, it is modified

wellmeant efforts was due TO our re-
publican form of government
On February 16, 1872, Mr.. Wilson, or
Massachusetts, introduced bill in the
senate restraining the killing of the
buffalo on public lands. 1t was read
twice by It's title and referred TO the
committee on territories. The same
disposition was made of bill intro
duced by Mr.. Fort of Illinois, on
March 10, 1874 On January 81, 1916,
Mr.. Fort introduced another bill TO
prevent the useless slaughter or the
buffaloes, and 1t died with the com
mittee on territories, as did his other
bill. A bill introduced by Mr.. Fort
March 90, 1876, to tax buffalo hides
was referred to the committee on
ways and means and was never heard

Values of Fats ard oils.

There is a remarkable misapprehen
sion, particularly among many per.
sons of the more intelligent class OF
our people. says the Dietetic and Hy-
genie Gazette. as to the food value of
the fats and oils. The muscle or red
meat is a valuable source of proteid
but the excessive consumption of pro-
ted invites various diseases which fig.
ure very prominently in the causes OF
death. The fats and oils increase or
resistance against cold and some Of
the causes of disease. The health of
many SO called scrofulous children
would be improved by teaching them
to eat more fat. Fats in abundance
constitute very essential part of the
dietary of the tubercuIous patient. A
larger proportion of the fatty elements
of foods would go long way in add
ing to the robustness of many persons
ana saving them from the subsequent

Solemn Farces That Have Been EN-
acted In the British Navy.
1t is a rule IN the British navy that
when n ship is cast away or otherwise
lost court martial must sit iii order
to apportion the blame. Sometimes
these courts really try and condemn
those that are held to be responsible
At other times their duties are, from
the very nature of the catastrophe,
more o. less nominal.
THUS, WREN the Serpent was lost Off
The Spanish coast, court martial as
sembled and ;solemnly tried" three Or
binary bluejackets, the sole survivors,
although they of course had no more to
do with the error in navigation which
led up to the catastrophe than the man
in the moon.
\ similar solemn farce was enacted
after the loss OF the Captain in the
bay of Biscay. when 4S3 officers and
ncen lost their lives. In this case a
gunner named James May, one Of the
eighteen who escaped from the wreck,
was the nominal ''culprit." The YER
dict was that the loss of the ship was
due to instability and faulty conStruc-
ton. This really amounted to vote
of censure on Mr.. Cowper Coles, the
designer, but as he went down with
the ungainly monster he had created
he was beyond the reach of either
blame or praise.

PEOPLE OF BRITTANY
The Women Mostly Bald and the Men
Mostly Drum kards.

''The women, not the men. go bald in
Brittany" said barber. They go
bald where it shows most-above the
ears. Women. quite bald above the
ears, are as common. in Brittany as
ibaldheaded men are with us.
Brittany is a granite strewn, billy,
well wooded country in northwestern
France. overlooking the sea. 1t is New
Hampshire. with the sea added. The
Breton peasants speak a language
which resembles Welsh. They hate
strangers, and they wear peculiar
costume.
This costume is what causes the
ballheaded woman. One part of it, the
colt or headdress, a cap of white linen
requires that the hair be drawn back
very taut from the temples. Drawn
back thus. as taut as it will go, it be-
gins to disappear at the age of twenty
five, and by the time she is thirty five
or forty the Breton peasant woman
looks as if she were the victim of some
horrible disease. for, from her temples
to well behind her ears, she is as bald
as an egg.
THE men, on the contrary, are never
bald. For one reason, they work bare
headed. For another, they belong to
the low. animal type Of man that pre-
serves a head of thick, coarse hair to
the end. They are nasty lot. the men
