Portugal's prison of silence"
In this building everything that
human ingenuity can suggest to
render the lives of its prisoners
a horrible, maddening torture is
done. The corridors piled tier

from a common center like the
spokes in a huge wheel.
The cells are narrow, tomb
like and within each stands a
coffin. The attendants creep
about in felt slippers. No one is
allowed to utter a word. The
silence is that of the grave.
Once a day the cell doors are un-

march out, clothed in shrouds

BEE PLAGUE IN ENGLAND.

Men are doing the work of bees
in the south of England. Somerset,
which has hitherto been free from
the Isle of Wight bee disease, is now
visited by that plague. The large
bee colony at Milborne Park las been
destroyed. Out of II stocks only one
remains. The garden of bee farm
er named Taylor is strewn with the
bodies Of paralyzed bees. In the
south of England shortage of
fruit is feared owing to lack of bees
and their fertilizing labor. Men are
being engaged to carry the pollen on
cotton VOL from blossom to bios
som. The disease has now spread all
over the United Kingdom. Somer-
set was the only county that had not
been attacked. In Buckingham
shire 80 per cent. of the bees have
been carried off.

In New York there is as great a tea. drinking fad as in London. The big hotels cater to the afternoon hordes of fashionable women who drop in for scones and English, or Russian tea.
 There is no better time than this to see the latest styles worn by women of wealth and position Following the wedding of Miss Helen Gould, the various smart tea rooms were agog with gossip, indulgsd in by the modish guests who came back to town by special train or in their own autos.
 have never seen Mrs. George Gould look so well. It seems impos- sible that she is a grandmother. On this occasion she wore a white char mouse trimmed with sable bands and a large black hat. Her chinchilIa wrap, reaching to the hem of her skirt was one of the most magnificent fur garments I have ever seen and was particularly becoming to Mrs. Gould's striking brunette beauty.
 In the same group of guests I saw a velvet costume that was so nearly covered with lace that it would be quite suitable for a summer costume Velvet no longer is unduly heavy, but is so woven that it's nap is but a lit tie heavier than silk
 One of the head buyers in a big de- partment store told me that Paris has decreed that velvet gowns ana VeIVet trimmings will be the vogue this sum mer. This is of course a novelty that will have to be handled carefully 10 get the proper effect.
 Last year the white lace gowns had bias bands of velvet at the bottom, and there was a revival of ribbon velvet trimming.
 With the embroidery beading which is always popular on thin summer gowns the narrow velvet ribbon gives a pleasing touch that makes the sim pIest little frock chic and distinctive
 An old time revival is the use or velvet ribbon bracelets. These worn with elbow sleeves make the arms look white and attractive! Little Rhinestone buckles come specially to fasten these bands. The cost of the buckles is enough to make the velvet bracelets equal in expense to those of gold and jewels

A motor-truck service at the great Boston freight terminal of the New York, New Haven G Hartford Raff- way Company is the latest innova- ton in the handling of freight in the yard.
 A large amount of Iess-tf1an-caF- load freight comes daily in Co the ter minal from outside points, destined for many other points that are reach ed most conveniently from Bogt0n- This freight has to be transferrsd across the yard from the inward Co the outward houses.
 For more than three month8 past the company has been trying out a motor truck in effecting these trans- fers. The service has been % sue cessfuI that the vehicle hired for the experimental work is at once to be replaced with two more powerful trucks just purchased by the com pany.
 The new trucks have each a capac- ity of 2 1-2 tons and are operated by gasoline. They will be continually run through the day, covering round trips of about mile between the fu- ward and outward houses. The eE- pediting of transfers thus effected amounts in many cases to a saving of 24 hours in getting freight to it's des- tination.
