Striking Styles in Footwear.

~ ARIS.-IS Special Core respondence 1-Ye1- low stockings are of the newest
 fashion features. They are trimmed
 and adorned in various ways. Some times they have traced upon them pale green laurel leaf clocks and, strange as it may ap- pear, these yellow stockings are not disfie- uring to the ankles. unless the latter are so lacking in symmetry as to be dependent on black hosiery for all occasions. They are worn with shoes of a different color espe- cfally when yellow dress is donned. The new, perfectly cut black crepe de chine shoes that are entirelyblack and not frightened by so much as rhinestone stud are bewitching and, worn with densely black stockings. make the ankles and feet look their daintiest and smallest
 Somewhat trying but excessively smart upon the right wearer are the new boots of mans boot height and build They are quite charming with their pearl or dove kid up- pers and buttons to match the dress, blue brown or whatever tint it may be-
 A martial appearance is given to some of the new straw hats, and also to many of the jeweled caps that are worn in the evening. Imagine the casque of Minerva translated into straw or pearls and you have a complete ly truthful impression of a shape that is mod ish in both connections. The hat when soft ened by handful of feathers is becoming. put the evening helmet, even when composed completely of. jewels, is more extraordinary than beautiful, and finds it's proper place upon the stage. It has a most cratic and attenu- ated black feather at the back, for which reason may it never trespass across the foot lights, or the feather will deserve, and prob ably be given, the consideration 1neted out to the brush fantasie when it was worn branch ing backwards from the coiffure.
 The helmetlke aspect which is the essential characteristic of the Minerva hat makes it a less trying shape to wear than the hat with the steep and abruptly upturned brim, and as 1t can be developed in flowers as well as straw 1t Is the resource of those who always like to herald the spring by wearing blossoms

Things the Housewife
 Should Know |.

Boiled potatoes make an excellent substi- tute for soap If your hands have become blackened with contact with pots and pans. Take a little of the potato and rub well into the skin, then rinse 1t off with warm water.
 To restore a cane chair seat.-Turn the chair bottom upward and with hot water and sponge wash the cane work well so that it is well soaked Let it dry in the air, and it will be as tight as new. provided none of the canes is broken.
 Damp shoes must be carefully dried. Do not place them in oven dry them quick ly. StsA with newspaper or bran and stand in a draft. When the leather has stiffened with neglect. rub in little vaseline. Vase line is excellent for feathers if not used to excess
 To remove stains from aluminium.-Take four tablespoons of oxalic acid crystals and boil in a gallon of water for about five min utes. Put the pans in this solution, allowing them to remain overnight In the morning wash with clean hot water and soap, rinsing in clean water. You will find the marks have entirely disappeared.
 To clean a sponge.-Get a basin. fill 1t with boiling water and little washing soda, then put the sponge into this and leave it for sev- eral hours. When this is finished, rinse in plain hot water, afterward rinsing in cold Leave the sponge in the cold water until you are ready to use it again. sponge can be treated in this way good many times. each time becoming like new.

Follow a Hobby to Live Long.

N EOPLE who collect postage stamps find
 ] it most absorbing occupation, while
 those who have never been seized with
 the craze wonder what in the world the
 other people see in it. Anything duller cannot be conceived by persons who have never taken up phately. But for that matter any craze seems dull to those who nave no interest in it. Some of us may marvel how folk can sit down hour after hour to play bridge. It never ceases to amaze those who do not do 1t why people should chase but terfifes for miles or go moth hunting.
 However, that there is a great joy in doing such things is obvious. One has only to watch and talk to collectors to discover this Their eyes brighten, the most silent become eloquent, and their interest is at once awak- ened if an opportunity occurs for them to in- dulge in, or even talk about, their hobby And it seems that they really have the adpsn- tage of noncollectors and those who have ho hobbies on which to fall back.
 Nowadays every body craves long life and It is amazing what folk will do and what dis agreeable fare they will feed on; to what dis comforts they will subject themselves in the hope of adding decade to their age or as they paradoxically put it, of keeping old age at bay Yet they ignore, despise. and laugh at what on the authority of one of our lead

In that case the place of the accustomed plume is usurped by loops of ribbon, which in black rising from background of white volets have a pretty aspect. Black and white we must wear again. Fashion decrees fresh victory for magpie models.
 Wonderful white goods sales are taking place at present They are not so exclusively great bargains or marked down necessities, but rather wonderful display of the newest in everything pertaining to the house and to lingerie, where white is the keynote of the articles shown. Every woman here. whether rich or poor looks forward to these sales, and If the former to the prospect of pur- chasing from them, and if the latter for the purpose of seeing and possibly copying what she sees. At such times the various depart ment stores are thronged and even the small and exclusive establishments, which are only patronized by those in search of novelties that cannot be found elsewhere have all their smart clientele, who spend hours one might almost say days, in looking at and buy ing some of the attractive things displayed

ing physicians, is almost certain recipe for longevity
 This physician emphatically declares that lack of a hobby lack of interest In one spe- cial thing. brings about death. People actu- ally do die of having nothing to do. And 1t Is possibly because women rarely allow them selves to fall into this state that they live longer than men.
 It is useless to take up collecting as mere fad. It must become a vertable passion. But Il has the further advantage that it can be taken up at any time. One need not neces- sarily begin young to be successful. At 50, O. or even later a start can be made and the revivifying effect in such cases is often quite amazing
 It does not seem to matter much what one collects SO long IS it is something which really absorbs the attention and cannot be done without some amountiof trouble. Manyo of us would like to collect old furniture. old china old silver. and such things. But if the hobby is not within the grasp of the average person it~is one of the delights of collectors to find that knowledge is of even greater value than cash in this game.
 And so. maybe, it is with collecting of all kinds. People of limited means can enjoy it's pleasures if they only give their minds to the
 
 coins in old theater programs, even in keys; well known writer has marvellous museum of penny toys which has been in course of formation for more than thirty years. No collector of old china could be more delighted with a fresh specimen of old Chelsea than is he with new toy which is peculiarly ingenious or wonderful for the money, and it is a great joy to him to display his quaint col lection.
 It will thus be seen that one does not neces- sarily have to be a millionaire or to have spe- cial advantages to be a collector. But to be one is to insure certain amount of serenity and almost certain increase of flength of days And 1t is surely worth while to bend the mind to it, and if nothing else can be achieved to collect stamps which the great physician seems to specially commend. Afterthis boys will surely find their grandfathers serious rivals in philately and maybe the girls will discover their grandmothers outdoing them in collecting photographs of popular actors. picture post cards and quaint china.

Seen in the
 Realm of Fashion.

The rose is a much favored flower It is made of satin and velvet, chiffon and net. and arranged in garlands or worn singly There is no end of original schemes foEintroducing rose garniture on costume.
 * s, The new taffetas are either striped or plaid in imitation of the old fashioned taffetas They are rich and soft, with just suspicion of rustic. The new high collar appears on the new blouses; the height is in the back where it's fullness spreads leaving the effect of the cala lily.
 Ribbon and jewelry are worn together A narrow ribbon is fitted snugly around the neck with gemmed brooch or buckle
 * * The woman of limited income would be wise to adopt one color for her wardrobe. with variations of tone and treatment.
 * * The fashionable blouse of the moment is white mousseline de soie. with touch of bril- liant color introduced somewhere. In the new hats the brims turn away from the face and the crowns are somewhat higher. Pretty collars. guimpes. and chemisettes are made of net in white or cream
 * < Shepherds plaid is material which will be extensively used this spring.
 $ * In the new serges the smattest colors are dust colors and navy blue.
 * * H Popular in combination are antique blue and tobacco brown.

WAS READ AT A MEETING OF THE
CIVIC ASSOCIATION HELD
YESTERDAY.

At the meeting of the Civic asso
cation yesterday afternoon A. V
Wood turned ov $14.5J, funds re
naming in the treasury of the old
Civic league, to the present organiza
tion, and the committee on streets
parks and s1uares made the following
very interesting report on the i'm
provements contemplated and now un
der way:
Your committee with the assist
ance of the other officers and mem
bers of the association have made ac
tive efforts looking toward a realiza
ton of the City Beautiful
Realizing that the actual funds OF
of the association available for this
purpose were exceedingly limited, we
have directed our efforts toward in
teresting others in the work. We
have expended the sum of $45.40 oi
the funds of the association. We &C
knowledge with appreciation a dona
tion of $25 from Mr. R. E. Briesenick
and although We are not making q
canvass lor subscriptions, we believe
that the association will receive ad
ditional donations from the citizens
Of Brunswick to aid in carrying out
this work. For private orders that
have already been filled the sum OF
$3.50 is due the association.
I'VE have found an active sentiment
in the community looking toward the
extension of the limits and prohibition
Of chickens in the streets. We have
found that many people are anxious
to remove the fences, but the success
of this feature will necessitate wide
extension of the stock limits. We are
glad to report that this proposal with

BAD PRECEDENT
PASSAGE OF THE Chiffon BILL
Is NOT DESIRED BY THE
NAVAL BOARD.

Washington, March 11.-Capt. r. M.
Potts, who was retired from the active
list by the plucking board, was before
the senate naval committee asking
appointment to the list Of rear admir-
ais under a bill by Senator Chiffon. AS
ranking captain last March he passed
an examination for. promotion when
the plucking beard retired him. Rear
Admiral Blue, chief of the navigation
bureau, who appeared for the navy
department, said the examin ng board
had ignored CT disregarded instruc-
ticns as to sea service requirements.
Admiral Csterhaus, who was chairman
of the examining board, SAID members
Of the beard had been associated with
Capt. Potts and knew his qualifica-
tions. They did not ignore any instruc-
tions, he said, but used discretion in
deciding what constituted adequate
service.
Admiral Blue said he appeared
merely to show that the navy depart
ment was acting consistently and had
no malice. He said the passage Of the
bill would create bad precedent.

today considered what could be done
to get the army away from this sec

ROUS|NG MEETING

Merchants and Business Mems asso.
citation, and all members are urged to
oe present at the city hall at O'Clock
The association is to carry on an ac.
tive campaign for new members and
to revive mere interest among the old
members.
This is one of the Oldest organiza
tions of it's kind in the city and while
it has about thirty members among
the merchants it is felt they should
have at least rs or 100 active members
in order for all to be fully benefited
by the association. This organization
carries on an entirely different work
from the board of trade, and does not
conflict with it in any way.
The meeting Wednesday proposes
to be a rousing one and the secretary
II. M. King, Jr., has been instructed
20 provide plenty of good cigars for
tho occasion.

ECLIPSE VIEWED
WITH INTEREST
FIRST SHADOW VISIBLE AT 500
AND BY 1880 MOON WAS IN
FULL VIEW AGAIN.

The eclipse of the moon was viewed
last night by the people of Brunswick
with much interest, as with a clear
sky conditions were ideal, slight
haze appearing, however toward the
end.
The first shadow was visible to the
naked eye at about S:20 and at 0:30
the eclipse was almost total, only a
crescent having the appearance of a
new moon remaining The shadow
then began to disappear and by 1850
the man in the moon again had a
clear view of the earth.
Nowadays an eclipse Of the moon
or sun is looked upon as an event of
interest and viewed only with feel
ing of curiosity, but in the early days
OF the country before the advent Of the
telegraph or the general circulation of
newspapers such an event was look
ed upon by people with superstitious
awe, by many with actual terror as
presaging the end of the world, but
today it arouses only interest, at least
in America.
