| NEW YORK FASHIONS. |§ Designs For Costumes That Have Be ll come Popular in the Metropolis. NEW YORK CITY (Special).—One of the newest spring skirts, tbe entirely tucked one, is shown in this xsostume. Ft is particularly adapted for soft or THE TUCKED SKIRT. diaphanous materials and for wash gowns,, and promises to be the suc cess of the coming season. Notice the tucks do not run all the way to the waist line to give added size CHECKED WOOLEN, LEATHER TRIMMINGS. DUST-BROWN CLOTH. around the liips, but begin just be low. Sometimes these tuoks are stitched down flat. Another design has the tucks in clusters of three very small ones at intervals all around. Its being such a decided innovation and change from what has been in vogue so long, no doubt, will add largely to its popularity. Automobile Costume*. In the park and on the roads lead ing to and from the out-of-town head quarters of the Automobile club se vere- ""eather-defying costumes piped with leather and more ornate dresses for fair days have suddenly become plentiful. A checked homespun toilet in blue and graj, displayed by A lady who has pteered her own gasoline carriage all winter, has attracted attention on its every appearance. Small, close-set buttons fasten its short coat so snugly as to leave no opening at the throat, the better to direct admiration to its bright leather cuffs and collar and the rolls of leather inserted in the seams. Nain/w panels of leather appear on the front of its skirt, and on these are buckled leather pockets, small and smart and most delicionsly absurd in their affeotation of practicality. A new "auto" coat, variations upon which are displayed by several devo tees of the automobile is long, sack shaped and made of fine cloth of a pale tobacco shade. The novelty of the garment lies in the fact that it is guilefully stitchjd to deceive the un wary into taking it for an.overskirted coat, one set of threads making deep Vandyke points that seem to fall above a shaped flounce, although said flounce consists of nothing but a sec ond set of threads crowded together in ten or twelve inches of horizontal stitching. New Coiffure Ornament!. The black velvet bow for evening coiffure has a powerful rival in the new and very attractive artificial flowei arrangement. Tbis consists of two 01 three blossoms fastened to a shell hair pin by a tiny pafl of silk or satin rib bon matohing the color of the flower. Large flowers promise to be the most popular. The orchid is certainly the handsomest for this purpose-, although roses and jonquils are exquisite. Large purple velvet pansies are exceedingly effective in white hair. An OUt Fashion Revived. There is an ominous rumor that women are to wear gathered skirts. Box-plaited skirts are here already, and while they were not received with such open arms as was the habit-back, still they are being worn. It remains to be seen if women will go back to the fashions of thirty years ago. Tight waists are worn already, and it needs only the promised gathered skirt to make the picture complete. Klack Chiffon For Mourning Wear. Black chiffon buttonholed with dull black silk round the edges is used for* trimming mourning bonnets and toques, and in plaoe of the heavy plaited blue-white ruche inside the widow's cap appears a slender line of snow-whrte English crepe or crimped white chiffon sewed in beneath the smfell brim. Turquoise Dressing Sacque. This fetching dressing sacque is of soft turquoise silk, and is in the fa vorite bolero shape, being cut off at the waißt line at the back and sides. The fronts, as the cut shows, are in the long, stole shape, which gives it an airy elegance, at once admirable and noticeable. It has an altogether mjore jaunty look than the jackets in ordinary sacque length. This little affair is silk lined and smothered with cream lace five inches in width. Very soon these comfortable sacques made of organdie or lawn will be in DRESSING SACQUE IN* 11GLKMO EFrECT. order. Indeed, many wear these the year rouud. FOR THE HOUSEWIVES. HanKinjg Fot of Maidenhair. Procure au unglazetl pottery carafe or water-Lottie, place a little earth carefully arouud it, and stick iu close together many roots of the maiden hair fern, auil cover with a wire net ting; this is to keep the eaith aud ferns in their place. The netting must be coarse enough to allow the ferns to grow through the meshes, and must uot be put on too tightly. Now fasten arouud the top of the carafe some fiuo wirdkto haug it up by; when hanging up nearly fill the carafe with water, aud always keep it so; for the vessel, beiug porous, allows the moisture to dampen the roots and keep them alive. If properly attend ed to, the carafe will soon be nothing but a ball of maidenhair fern,aud very beautitul. Harper's Bazar. Sulphur as n Fuinlgiint. Tbe fumigating properties of sul phur have long made it a valuable household remedy, aud the sulphur candles now ou the market till a long felt want. Not only are they a con venient disinfectant, but they are al most sure deutli to flies, red ants, roaches aud moths. The room to be fumigated must be tightly closed,even the keyholes stopped with paper; then closets, trunks, drawers and all in fected receptacles must be opened, so the fumes of the sulphur can pene trate every nook and cranny. The candle is put iu a metal candlestick and set in an eartheu or iron vessel a coal hod will answer quite as well as anything else. The only requisite is that it shall be deep enough to pre veut the tlatues setting tire to any thing. Care must be taken not to in hale the flame when lighting the can dle. The room should be kept closed for about four hours, during which time the purifyiug fumes of the sul phur will thoroughly do their work. These caudles must uot be used where there is gilt paper, picture rails or picture frames, as Ihey will be tar nished. Taking Care of Blankets. A great deal of labor is saved by taking proper care of blaukets. When blankets aie first purchased bnste a hetuined strip of sheeting over the top edges. When this is soiled re place it by another, so that the edges of the blanket do not coiue against the hands and face or accidentally touch the floor when tbe bedclothes are turned back. Air blaukets very thoroughly. At least ouce a month, ou a clear day. when no wind is stir ring, hang them on the liue to air for twelve hours, turning them and shak ing them free from dust at least ouce. I'se a little cotton couuterpaue over the blaukets at night; this is easily washed and does not attract dust as the loose uieshes of a woolen blanket do. Use another couuterpaue for covering tbe bed in the daytime over that used at night. By these means bed blaukets may be kept aired and will not need to be washed ofteuer than ouce in two years. It pays to use light, inexpen sive blaukets iu summer, replacing tliem by the heavy, more etpeusive all wool blaukets designed for winter, or whenever the weather demands it. When not in use wrap up tine blan kets carefully in cotton pheete and pack them away from moths. Sachets of lavender scattered among blaukets and bed linen are a warning to moths to keep away when they are putin the closet, as well.*" inducement to azure lidded sleep .-.neu they are spread ou the bed. Kedpea. Graham Bread Cheesr Strips—Take thin slices of graham bread and spread thinly, first with butter aud theu with prepared mustard; ovev this grate a layer of cheese. Press the slices of bread tirmly together, cut into strip* one inch wide aud as long as the slices permit; place in the oven and brown on both sides. Serve with the oyster salad. Baked Beef Heart—Wash it care fully, open it sufficiently to remove the tubes, theu soak in cold water until free from blood; wipe it dry and stuff with a good dressing as for tur key; steam for one hour, then rub with butter, dredge with well sea soned flour and bake for one hour, liastiug frequently with hot water aud butter. Curried Eggs—Slice twoouions and fry them iu butter, and a tablespojn fut of curry powder aud one pint of good rich stock, stew until onions are tender, add a cup of cream (if not thick cream thicken with rice Hour), simmer a few minutes, add eight ei ten hard boiled eggs, cut in slices, al lowing the eggs to become hot, but not to boil. Mayonnaise of Celery—Add one third of a cupful of beaten cream to three-fourths of a cupful of mayon naise (which is best to keep made up iu a 3toue jar, well covered), two enp fuls of sliced celeiy, three-fourths of a cupful of English walnuts. Arrange in ufests of lettuce leaves, garnishing with sprays of celery betweeu the nests; delicious. Walnut Wafers Many delicious cakes are made with the addition of nut meats. Among them wulnut wa fers make a pleasing variety, and something odd. Tbe rule calls for one cup of chopped nuts, three table spoonfuls of flour, one cup of brown sugar, two beaten eggs aud a pinch of salt. Add the uuts last. Drop iu small quantities on buttered tins. Baked Veal aud Macaroni—Take two pounds of veal, without bone, boil in salted water until teader, theu chop flue. Break twelve sticks of macaroni into small pieces, cook until dqne aud drain. Put the veal aud macaroni iuto a buttered liakiug dish, add pepper aud salt, one half cupful of butter aud two cupfuls of sweet. ilk and bake iu a moderate oven. (illproved Phyalq tie of Men ana Women The floe physique with whiah Brit ish girls are now blessed is attributed to the healthier life they lead in con sequence oi the open air exercise in which they indulge. But nothing has been said about men. Perhaps the papers imagine they were always as lig as they are now. It is interesting, therefore, to look at the tables of the weights of the crews in the univers ity race, showing that they are much aeavier than in former years. From the year 1841 inclusive, until ;he present day, there was no crew iveraging 12 stone (168 pounds) until Oxford, with exactly that weight, won in 1867, the average weight being roughly about 11J stone (161 pounds). Until the end of 1877 there were only four crews averaging 12 stone or ovsr. From that date until 1887 there were six crews over that weight, but the weights under 12 stone had gone up considerably from the earlier periods. From 1887 until the present time there have only been five crews under 12 stone, both crews in 1888 being un der that weight, and the Cambridge crew in 1894 being oi»y a half pound under. So that for the last ten years there have, practically speaking, been only two crews under 12 stone. It if certainly significant that the increase of weight in the university crews should have been contemporaneous with the marked uhysical develop ment of women.—London Truth. The"Green liny" at Suniet. The"green ray" or "green flash' at the moment the sun disappears from view beneath the horizon has been noticed by many physicists. Some of them consider this is an optical illu sion. M. Guebhaid states, however, that the green ray is the great shadow of the earth feebly illuminated from the zenith and viewed by an eye fa tigued for red; it therefore appears green. Pellat, on the oontrary, states that the "yellow setting sun has a red lower and green upper border sep arately examinable in the telescope and due to prismatio reflection by the at mosphere. The absorption which makes the sun disk appear yellow makes the , violet upper rim appear green or | greenish blue instead of violet. When the suu sets, the upper green rim can be seen for a fraction of a second, 'out it may be kept longer in view if the observer goes up a slope as the suu sets." The first writer to which we gave referred thought this was differ ent from the green ray following the setting of the red sun. M. Ravean said that he had seen the sea colored green in a triangle with its upex at the point where the sun set, and the solor seems to flow away toward the horizon.—Scientific American. Itusaiu's Modern Nhvhl Station Vladivostock, Russia's Pacific navaJ station, has developed remarkably within the last twenty years. Stone ind brick have replaced everywhere the old wooden buildings. Full ad vantage has been taken of the great natural possibilities. The wharves, the railway station and the landing facilities are superior to those of any port in China.

A commercial traveler, whose wife is one of those women who borrows trouble indiscriminately, had occasion to make a trip East recently. His wife was very auxious about him and felt certain that he would fall a victim to smallpox, which was reported to be prevalent in the city to which he was goiug. She begged him to carry a little lump of asafetida in his pocket to ward off contagion. Naturally he objected aud positive ly refused to bo made the permanent abode of such a persistent odor. When he came home_from his trip he said to his wife: "It is wonderful, the power of im agination. Why, don't you know, I imagined that I smelled asafetida the whole time I was gone!" "It wasn't imagination at all," quietly replied the wily woman. "I sewed a bit of asafetida in the corner of your coat before you weut away!" —Memphis Scimetar. I oveiitakliiK by Proxy.
