F1ioh Collars In VOGUE.

With her usual perversity. Fashion
has decreed that collars increase i'll
height and In comfort, too, strange as
that may seem. Ii is, however, easily
explained Since those little wal
leines," or featherbones, that give the
necessary support have for some time
reached fairly up to the ears, they
could become no higher; but the change
is in the transparent covering which
is made of soft lace entirely or in COM
bination with some filmy material. In
stead of being rounded out, as it for
merly was, the collar is now made
straight; hence it must be a little lOos-
er, so that it shapes and gives properly
with the neck-therein lies the comfort
while the top, which is unstiffened
for about half an inch, turns over III a
pretty careless line, thus adding to
the soft becOmingnesS.
Be careful not to let it be a degree
loOSer than is absolutely necessary for
shaping itself and attempt it in none
but the softest thinnest material or the
result will be that most unbecoming of
oil things, q thick neck.

the patient can bear; then wiring a sin

put one or two quilts on the bed; put
pair dry blankets on them; spread the
hot blanket over this quick: roll the
patient on the hot blanket, cover the
patient quick with hot blanket; then
cover with dry one and so on w it'll
quilts from neck to bottom of feet
Put cold, wet cloth to head, tuck the
cover around the body snugly; rewet
the cold cloth every ten minutes. Keep
the patient in this pack, if comfortable,
one to two hours. Take him out and give
cold water; rub for five minutes; rewet
the single blanket in boiling water and
put him back in the pack for another
one or two hours. Repeat this for
twenty four hours or until he is con-
scious. Continue with enemas-three

MARCH TERM TO OPEN WITKA FULL
DOCKET.
Large Number Civil Gases Filed for
Trial, Among Others BeingDam-
age Suits Against Roads.

The March session Of the City Court
of Americas convenes on Monday next,
Judge Charles r. Crisp presiding, and
the heavy civil docket already made up
ENSURES a lengthy and busy term CT
three or four weeks. Among the forty
Sr fifty new cases docketed already for
arial at this session of the city court are
two damage suits against the Central
Railway and two against the Seaboard
Airline for large amounts, ranging
from S., 900 to SIS, 900 each, for alleged
personal injury to plaintiffs. The City
Of Americas is also defendant in a
robust suit for $4,000 growing out of
the falling of the old shed on Lee
street year or two ago, and from
which several damage suits arose.
Judge Crisp will convene the court
Monday morning, entering first upon
civil business. There will be very little
criminal business, to be tried at this
term, as the dockets were nearly
cleared at the last regular session.

THE EYEBROWS.

Some SuperstitiOns and Odd Beliefs
Concerning Them.
Notwithstanding their inconspicuous-
ness, the eyebrows have been the Gen.
| ter of a certain amount of lore and
even superstition. But the chief point
at which superstition or folklore is
found in this connection is in those
cases, not infrequent, where the eye
brows meet. Everywhere this meeting
Of the brows has been held to be omi-
nous in one way or another.
| In some of our southern counties
folks say that it is good to have such
brows, for the possessor will never
have trouble; but this is a rare inter-
probation. AS rule, the meeting
brows are held to be of evil omen.
Readers of Charles Kingsley's 1.-TWO
Years Ago. will remember Mrs. Har-
vey's face, which had been handsome
| and was still clever; but the eye
brOws," continues Kingsley, crushed
together downward above her nose
and, rising high at the outer corners,
indicated as surely as the restless
down drop eye character self con-
scious, furtive, capable of great incon-
| sistencies, possibly of great deceits."
In the Icelandic sagas a man with
meeting eyebrows is said to be one of
| the dreadful creatures known as were
| wolves, and the same belief has been
| traced in Denmark and Germany;
while in Greece, says Mr.. Barring
| Gould, they are sign that man is a
vampire. In horror there is little to
| choose between vampires and were
wolves. A fanciful reason which has
| been given for these superstitions is
| that the meeting brows resemble a but
terfy, ''the familiar type of a soul
| ready to fly off and enter some other
body" This seems tolerably far
/ fetched
In Hungary gypsy women and men
whose eyebrows grow together are sup
posed to have in special degree the
power to enchantment, and as illiterate
/ folk have a great dread of such mys-
ferrous powers, especially as they may
be supposed to be directed against the
we'll being or happiness of their chill
| dren, it need hardly be said that man
whose brows meet is not a popular
/ person. Even now there are parts of
England where a belief in witchcraft
still fingers, and not so very long ago
in Northumberland there were people
i who regarded person whose eyebrows
met as witch or warlock.
In the north of Aberdeenshire, ac-
cording to the late Rev. Walter Gregor,
who was very competent authority on
Scottish lore and customs ''closebroot
| man"-that is, one whose eyebrows
meet-was regarded as being immoral
Elsewhere in Scotland one with "close
/ broos" was regarded as unlucky to be
met as first fit" while other folk went
! good deal further and regarded the
unlucky possessor OF "close broos" as
one foredoomed to be hanged. London
