Cows Never Drink.

HAWAII has cows that never drink.
Grazing in fertile valleys on the
slopes of Mauna Kea, the 13,8oo-foot
mountain in the northwest Of the
island Hawaii, where mists constantly
drift in on the trade winds. the cattle
slake their thirst through the air they
breathe or by cropping the wet grass.
When taken to drier regions they balk
at the sight of water, not knowing
what it is.
The existence of this on-drinking
cattle has just been brought to the
attention of the Bureau Of Animal
Industry of the Department Of Agri-
culture. The cattle are bred on a
ranch, adjacent to the 500000-acre
Parker Ranch, which has $4,000 Here
fords. 1t was not intended to deprive
the animals of water. Originally
they were kept on land where water
was plentiful. But portions Of the
/ herd. attracted by luxuriant grass.
wandered into valleys where there
were no streams nor lakes.
They soon discovered that they OBJ
tained enough moisture without
drinking. because of the mist and
rain. The offspring of these cattle
grew to maturity without ever hav-
ing seen as much as a bucketful Of
water.

Jubilee Affects STYLES.

7 oNDoN, March 16.-Dressmakers
in London and Paris are now
sure that the royal jubilee celebra-
tions are going to bring back many
Of the most attractive features in
the fashions which were popular in
the Victorian days.
Styles for the coming Summer will
undoubtedly idealiZe the English
beauties of half a century ago, with
plenty of curls, frills and furbeloWs.
The Lily Langtry type will be among
the styles forging to the front. Forty
years ago the Jersey Lily"-as she
was called-inspired the modes for
the Ascot races and many other social
events. The same styles will be cur
rent with many this year at the Ascot
races in June. Women will appear
in the fashions of yore, with curls
punched on the forehead and at the
nape Of the neck. Bonnets to suit
will be worn.
Dresses will be long and full. One
London dressmaker said:
"One of my models contains go
yards of tulle. Another has ITO yards
Of horsehair. I have designed a SIM
pie navy frock which is woven with
1900 tassels.
"Off-the-shoulder modes, edged
with large frills and very full, gath
cred skirts trailing on the ground,
will bring back memories of bygone
days Sunshades will have long ham
dies tied with satin bows. Skirts of
organdie or other f1imsy materials
will rustic over stiff taffeta petit
coats"
Symbolic of the ceremonial func-
tions are the heraldic f1eurs -de-lis
used to button the coat and buckle
the belt of black frock. The dress
has q collar of leaves of silver-plated
kid.
Just what men will wear is being
widely debated, but the white derby
is coming into prominence. The
cutaway coat is also trying to crowd
to the fore. 1t Is hoped that early
May will tell the tale, although men
are always a bit slow to pick up
new fashions.
Jubilee day. May 6, will be fashions

Chateau Immortalized

THOUGH Edmond Dantes. the

II Count of Monte Cristo, never
1 \ existed, this imaginary and
likable character brings real
money every year into the cash box
of France. Since 1925 this yearly sum
has been 40500 francs; but Monte
Cristo'S popularity seems to be on
the increase and. for this reason, be-
ginning with 1885 and continuing for
six years, he will pay into the French
treasury the sum Of ll2,l00 francs
per annum.
This is the yearly rental (recently
established, after a spirited auction
sale) of the Chateau DIFF, a gloomy,
rocky island in the Mediterranean,
about two miles southwest of Mar
seille, from which the imaginary
Monte CriSto made heroic, dangerous
and equally imaginary escape some
decades ago-in the famous novel of
Alexandra Dumas.
OF course, the Chateau DIFF is real,
as real as the Tower of London. but
it owes its fame primarily to an imag-

has had real prisoners in its four
century career; but nobody pays much
attention to them, for everybody is
chiefly interested in Monte Cristo. He.
