BUTTONS AND BAUBLES. The buttons, oranments and baubles in general enjoy no less a measure of consideration than the actual terials of gowns themselves. The pret tiest things are the little crystals or paste balls which form the tassels to the taffetas or ribbon knots or bows which embellish our frocks. Narrow velvet ribbon is run through quite half a dozen or so of tiny paste buckles without any reason except in the matter of ornament; and as near ly everything terminates in a tassel all manner of charming methods are employed in their construction. The fuchsia and flower tassels are still popular, and on the smartest and newest pelerines the ends are gath- ered into the similitude of tassels, and the same idea is carried out in the millinery. Everything is knotted, too, the most fashionable ing those wound like a bandage round the throat and twice knotted in front or broughs low down and knotted over the bust In the tailor-made gowns the tie is brought from either under the coat and knotted. WOMAN'S WORK Paris has another exposition summer, but it will differ ably from the last one, as it is to con gist wholly of “women’s work.” The idea is to show the achievements and progress of women in the various phases of life. One section will be do voted to “the woman in history,” resented by tableaus, ary and medals. Another “the woman at home,” as mother and housewife, with and modern implements of Other sections will illustrate man as wage earner,” art” and “the woman in social econ omy.” A feature of the last-named section is to be a congress of who will discuss social and problems. stocks be. side next msiqcer- pictures, will “the woman in women industrial HOT WEATHER HINTS A very safe rule tur the motl follow whenever a very warm comes is to reduce the food ting one or more ounces of mill substituting the same amount ter gruel; this rule also holds go on damp and close days, even when the thermometer does not register ex cessive heat. It may often be n¢ sary to carry out this plan for several days, and to resume the full-strength feedings only when the weather be comes comfortable again This has been a rule in our hospital diet-kitch- sn for mdny years for all children, and it has been found to work ex tremely well If at this season the child is teeth ing, that fact alone makes the sys tem unable to stand much extra drain. At this time weaken the | teeth are through, or the fever ac companying dentition has subsided Again, the fact is very often over ipoked that children need other fluid than that which is given them as a meal. It is quite as essential that infants should have water to weather; but one should be careful as to the water which is given and be purities. Under ordinary is to boil the water, and it is neces sary that the water should be freely botled at least twice a day. — Marianna Whedler, in Harper's Bazar. MILLINERY ECCENTRICITIES. Hats are trimmed with flowers and fruits that defy tHe most erudite botanist to identify, and which Mother Nature herself would fail to recognize a8 reproductions of Her original handi. work. But it is not the queer, un astural colorings of the flowers and fruits that surprise one so much as the eccentricity of some of the garni lures considered the “correct thing” on hats. We have grown accustomed to brown roses, blue chrysanthemums and green popples; to raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries and cher ries in all stages of their ripening, to grapes and currants and even raisins Now come lemons. Think of a toque with a top covered with foliage from which protrude lemons——undersized of course, but still lemons-—in all stages of development, from the fruit that rivals in tint the famous peach of emerald hue of Johnny Jones and his sister Bue, to small spheres of golden maturity. Hats trimmed with moss are set forth among the novelties. The moss is used in various ways, from a brim trimming to entire toques. Birch bark straw hats and those of gray lichen are not exactly new, but a cluster of pinky gray toadstools grow. ing from the mossy brim of a green toque does have an air of novelty. Not so very many birds are being used in millinery just at present, a fact which the Audubonists will re * | cotve with gratification, although it Is hardly to be attributed to their pro | tests that the milliners are making { such of quills and leather. One such | feather constituted about the only trimming on a straw sailor of sweet simplicity seen last week. The quill was of brown leather plerced with | large holes and embroidered like huge with a few strokes of white paint here and there to give the ap | pearance of a feather. | eyelets, i | i i | WOMAN'S GOAT RANCH.

So she made i & proposition to take a small flock of the goats, tend them and care for them and breed them, and at the end of the year divide the profits with the owner The proposition was accept. ed.

The skirts that have the long train effect are in many cases made with the centre of the back in a broad box plait. This plait is crossed and recrossed by narrow frillings of lace, mousseline, or the material itself. The emerald matrix is one of the fashionable stones for belt buckles, pins and brooches, and for those who have treasured cameos for years and years, it is encouraging to know that they are in favor again. The large cameo heads are set in belt clasps, with oxidized silver or dull, finished gold, while the smaller ones appear in brooches. New lace effects in the silk and lisle thread gloves for summer are con stantly seen. White silk gloves hav- ing the fingers and back of the hand, as well as the wrist, entirely in an open work design, are novel and pret ty. In other and more serviceable gloves the open work extends to the fingers, the latter and the palm be ing plain. A pretty idea for neck chaini is to indicate the name of the owner by the first letter of the different gema set In clusters or at wide intervals, in either case it is a pretty sentiment. Some pet name can be worked out by the sequence of the gems without be ing suspected by any one not in the gocret. “Dearest” for example is very easily suggested and by gems which are very familiar to every one. Pretty and simple is a pale bine straw hat trimmed with embroidered cream batiste. The embroidery forms open-worked stars, set at rather wide intervals.

HE Gulf stream as an ocean current, has no more eWect on the climate of Western Europe than the weather-vangs has on the winds that turn it. The Guif stream, in fact, might be engulfed at Colon or dammed at Key West, without anyone from the The warming-pan, hot-water-bots public schools in England and the United States. The essential facts are that the Gulf stream as an ocean current ceases to exist, that ls, to differ in set and temperature from the rest of the ocean East of the longitude of Cape Race, Newfoundland. [It cannot, therefore, con- vey, does not convey, warm water to the shores of Western Europe. But, above rents, and the mild oceanic climate of Western Europe is due to the distribu. tion by the permanent aerial circulation in the whole Atlantic basin of the moderating, mitigating effects of the ocean as a whole. Atlantic basin cir mous anticyclonic eddy in mid-latitudes, and to the mid-Atlantic anticyclone the credit that has been held by the Gulf stream these many years must be transferred; for, were this aerial eddy to continue as it is now, and the general atmospheric drift from West to Hast in the northern hemisphere to remain the same, the complete disappearance of the Gulf stream and all the ocomn currents in the Atlantic would be without the slightest effect on the weather and climate of Europe. Any shifting of the anticyvlone, however and this means its consequent Interaction with the permanomt cyclone that determines the circulation in the Atlantic north of the latitud: of Cape Race, and also with the traveling cyclones and anti-cyclones that move eastward in the middle latitudes—produces a decided change In the we. tier, and a varia. tion in silmatic fests.
