I Various Styles In Bennet tTach ting Halt Street Cetlnmti Are Vary Qaiat In Celer and the Bulla Grew, Smaller. A Neat Innner Gewn. Special CorrcapeDdence. New Yerk, April 5. E HAVN seen birds, frogs, kit tens, rabbit and rupple' heads, te say nothing of all the (lowers mere are, and all the kinds of feathers ever worn by any , kind of bird, and traits as well as grains and grasses, and all the vegetables, from tiny cucum bers te carrots and rabbages, se that new it would almost seem as If there was nothing else in the world thnt could be utilized as a new garniture for lints and bonnets, and yet thcre is a new style of trimming which has already captured the female, heart, and that Is baby alligators. They are tot many se far, but theso who have them are the envied of their sex. The young alligators which are. used for this style of trimming nre from six te ten Inches long, and must be the real thing, stuffed and with bright glass eyes, and arranged se as te appear te be crawling up the front trimmings tt ribbon bows. Their pretty mouths are opened wide, and they hare a most engaging expression of Innocent mirth en their gentle counten ances. We have, seen real stuffed lizards before en hats, but the alllgnters are new the fascinating style and add another charm te youth and beauty. It does seem curious that if the creat ures twere seen in any ether place the ladles would with one accord call them horrid things, but Just as seen as they are put en a bonnet they Instantly lese their ugliness and become n part of the divine creation called bonnet, and a bon net cannot sin In any way. What would be ugly anywhere else is n lcauty there. Bennets and hats are never less than sweet, lovely or ravishing, and I suppose that as between bonnets and babies the bonnets get the most endearing adjectives. The hats we represent nre some of the leading styles for young ladies, and it will be observed that the only feathers LATE BTTLES IN BONNETS. are curled or straight cock's plumes. The hat for yachting can be of white felt, though white Panama straw is the most stylish. It should simply have a band of blue velvet, and the under part of the brim lined with the same. The yachting costnme of white flannel with blue velvet cellar and trimmings is very pretty, and when the sailor cellar is made detachable the same gown is as pretty and suitable for outdoor wear as for morning about home. The white dunstable straw is faced with black velvet and the back of the brim is turned up and held with masses of pink hawthorn. The flowers for millinery are very perfect, and among them are im mensd bunches of hop blossoms, prim roses or apple blooms, and similar flowers in thick bunches. Flowers will only be worn en the most dressy headwear, for all elfie ribbon bows, stllT feathers and alligators. Btreet costumes are n trifle less asser tive than they have been, and the bustle Is sensibly diminishing. The colors are comparatively sober, though oue sees an occasional brilliant terra cotta, or a flam ing red. The plaids nre in well asserted colors, and the style of making neat and lady like. We present a model which will be very easy te copy, and this Is almost the exact counterpart of a dress made up for Miss Margaret Mather. By the side of it is a pearl gray cashmcre which was made by the same modlste for Miss Helen Dauvray, who is well known for her ex ex quisite toste in dress. The vest front is of sef.t India silk in the same shade, and the embroidery en the lapel of the Jacket is done In gray shaded chenille The soft gray brings out her bright dark complex ion and black hair te perfection. MISS HELEN DATJVRAT'8 COSTUME AND MARGARET MATlIEIl'S I'LAID SUIT. new te make a gown be as te glve style and richness te inexpensive route reute rials is a real art and a dlfllcult problem besides, and te assist these whose womanly tastes inspire, them with the desire te make a geed nppearnncc, I have been at seme pains te obtain some of the most useful models from a large house here, nnd yet these dresses are neither shabby nor cheap in appearance. They are worn by the wealthiest ladles in New Yerk, and sold from these stores are very expensive. The white or cream colored flannel costs from twenty-five cents te f 1 per yard, according te quality. The model requires nine yards of yard wide flannel, and the only trimmings consists in a double herring bone stitching around the bot tom, en the hem of the draperies and as a trimming en the basque, which has a plaited vest front of crape. Thcre is no prettier gown shown this season. The herring bone stitch is dene In double zephyr, and can be black, blue, or scarlet, or Indeed any color. Mrs. "Whitney, wife of the secretary of the navy, has ordered one these dresses for home wear, made nnd trimmed exactly as here shown. The price of this costume is f GO, whlie any young lady, neat with her needle, can make it for 7 te ?8. Feather and her ring bone are very pretty fctltches, and make handseme trimming. The dress of nun's veiling is also quite simple in style and easily copied. The basque- and draperies are made of striped and figured woolen material in ivory white, shaded with the palest brown In the figured part. The material for this can be purchased in New Yerk at from forty cents te $1 per yard, and it requires about ten yards for a plain dress like this. Whereas, made up in the leading places here it wenld cost all the way from f 40 te $80. The prices are abnormally high when the value of the gown U considered.

It ts nothing for some of the patrons of our leading dry goedi houses te spend from $3,000 te 5,000 in ene afternoon en articles for their personal adornment, aside from jewels, and yet any lady who knows hew te make n dress, cau leek every bit as well at a tithe of the cost. Avery elegant and graceful dress of soft, warm, brown cashmere was shown me, which had Just been finished for a lady whose husband counts his fortune by millions. The skirt is of striped goods, such as are new furnished te match the rest of the gown. There, was no elaborate work upon it, and no trimmings except a 'band of close 'made passementerie, and .this was valued at S5. The lady who is her ewu dressmaker can copy this, linings, trimmings and all, for f 20 or .even less, if she Is as smart about shop ping as she ought te be. At another place I saw a very pretty dress for a young lady, which, though it is a little tee early te var yet, is still seasonable for publication, se that these who may deslre te copy it can have plenty of time te de se before the warm weather. It is made of soft nun's veil ing, with a deep flounce of the same ma terial embroidered In silk. The front also has a narrow pattern embroidered of the same material. The bows of ribbon can be changed te suit any one, and the same model can be mad up in mull, all ever lace, or of the fine cotton veiling, which Is very pretty and Is seen in very many of the new suits for seaside and hotel balls, and dressy afternoon wear. The flounces at the bottom can be simply hemmed or have several fine tucks above the hem, or have one, two or three rows of ribbon stitched en. There are ether colors besides white which are equally pretty, In the same goods, but cream white in flannel, nun's veiling and the cheaper goods of the same nature, Is mere generally useful a color, as'any kind of ribbons can be worn with it,tand thus the owner can have appar ently several fresh costumes. The llan- 1 CASHMERE HOME DRESS AND SUMMER DOWN. nel suits are for out deer and harder usage, the softer goods and thinner ma terials for the mere dressy and ceremoni ous occasions. Flannel, cashmere and nun's veiling, in the roost delicate colors and In white, da net soil cosily, and a costume- will stand a great deal of bard usage befere rcquiriug te be cleaned. When they de a cleaner charges from seventy five cents te fl only, while n handsome "wash goods" dress seen soils, end the laundress charges from f 2 te $4 te "get It up" nicely. Therefore, the woolen dresses nre much mere economical, be sides being prettier nnd mero stylish in appearance A wash dress will also crush easily, while the wool ones never leek se, unless they are laid away damp. I bave been trying te obtain accurate in formation en prices, se that I can make dressing en $100 a year an exact ecience, If anything women de can be brought; down te such a point. Olive IlAr.rnr.. Te BTakc Geed Sauerkraut. One of Philadelphia's leading society ladies has her sauerkraut- made at home Just as her mother and grandmother did, but it is quietly hinted in blue bleed circles that slie makes the servant who does the "stamping" wash his feet befere beginning that process, which is vitally necessary te geed sauerkraut. In the back Pennsylvania Butch region the ab lution is disregarded, nnd seme of the elder people held that this is proper. It Is a fact, however, that in one residence en West Walnut street sauerkraut is made and "stamped" with the bare feet. Chicago Herald. The Gray Hair fuller. Possibly the most unique, method of earning a living known in that adopted by a big, rosy, SO-ycnr-eld blonde, who nnds engagements witn women just la menting their first gray hairs, te weed out, se te spenk, theso obnoxious remind ers of advancing years. The gray hair puller Is gentle In her methods of treat ment, nnd makes periodic visits nt inter vals of n few weeks, spending from half an hour te two or three hours, letting down the hair, combing it out and spying for tell tale silver threads. She carries an Innocent looking little reticule, which contains various glycerine and rese water preparations for it healing application when the work of torture has been done. It is net especially dlsacreeable work, nnd It Is bald te pay. Kansas City Journal. A Sadly Overworked Werd. The word "funny" is sadly overworked.

Relate te them the last minstrel Jeke, the particulars of a great flood In Culi,.s or some pathetic atery of. destitution nnd death, and their only re mark is: "Well, Isn't that funny?" The ether day ft gentleman walking down Broadway caught up with an acquaint ance, te whom he related the tragic death cf a mother nnd daughter in two different railroad accidents en the same day and at nearly the same hour. And all the reply that the human parrot could make was: "Yeu don't say; wasn't that funny?" New Yerk Tribune. The World'. Great Itefractnrt.

Can a rraflt Da Made In muring Cn healtliy Lire. A Table of Comparative Probabilities Theoretical Expectations of the DlttaMd. The practice of the life Insurance com panies In Insuring only the best lives ha often been the subject of a grim kind of humor. "The people they Insure," it Is sttfd, "are these who appear from a medi cal examination te stand In no need of In surance, while these who really de need It cannot get It," This Is net altogether true, of course. A geed many of the people who can-successfully pass the medi cal examiners of the insurance companies stand quite as much In need of Insurance as theso who cannot pass, but It is cer tainly unfortunate' that the latter, Who certainly de stand in need of Insurance, are unable te get It. It Is net only nn- fortunate, bnt seems te be a trifle unjust; and the question is often seriously asked why, when the insurance, risks nre based en general mortality and net en the mor tality among selected lives, the insurance companies should decline risks upon any lives but the selected? The answer Is, probably, that the In surance companies nre net doing business en philanthropic principles though their solicitors would fain persuade us te the contrary but te make money. But even when the answer has been given the ques tion may still be asked whether there is net a profit te be made in Insuring im paired lives. TIIE UNIIKALTnr LIFE. An article in The American Exchange nnd licvlcw Indicates the possibility thnt this question may yet be answered In the nfllrmntlve. It points out that while the unhealthy Ufa is, as a rule, In greater peril of death than the healthy one, me risk, in the case of the former can, in all probability, be determined with as much accuracy and safety as It can In the case of the latter. This Is certainly a reason able' view. The number of years upon which n healthy man of 20, or 30 or 40, or any ether age, can reasonably expect te live, has been ascertained by a careful compilation of vital statistics. What is te prevent the ascertainment, by a llke careful compilation, of the age te which an unhealthy or unsound man of 20, SO or 40, or any ether age, may expect te live? Te a certain small extent, 'according te the article referred te, this has been dene by the Institute of Actuaries in Londeu, England, in constructing a table of com parative probabilities In the ceses of healthy nnd diseased lives. The figures, though net nt all conclusive, are very in teresting, showing side by side the sur sur vieorships nt 20, 30, 40, 50, 00, etc., of 10,000 healthy and 10,000 diseased lives, starting at the age of 10. Singularly enough, at the age of 20 the showing in the case of the diseased lives is the better, 0,070 of them surviving against 9,534 of the healthy lives. Frem that "tinie for ward, however, the figures favor the healthy lives in a gradually increasing ratio. At 80 the survivors In the healthy 10,000 are 8,004 against 8,548 In the dis eased 10,000. At 00 the healthy side shows 5,517 survivors and the diseased only 4,832. At 00 they are nearly equal, but the diseased lives have the advantage by one, showing 20 against 25 of the healthy lives. THEORETICAL EXPECTATIONS. The Exclmnge aud Review concludes its article with what it calls a table of "theoretical expectations of diseased life," which might mero appropriately be called n hypothetical table, inasmuch as it is net put forward a even approximately ac curate. It is useful, however, In the sug gestien it furnishes that a table may be constructed sufficiently nccurate for prac tical purjiescs. Whether any of the ex isting companies will take up the sugges tion is very doubtful. The best of them are .doing qulte well enough en their present basis net te be tempted te embark in ahy new field, anil it is earnestly te be hoped that the worst of them, which are net doing well new, will net injure the business of TTRuring impaired lives by giving it a bad send off. A fertune, however, nwalts the com cem pnuy, old or new, which shall, with sound judgment and sufficient capital, cuter upon that business. While t)ie price te be charged would necessarily be higher than In the case of healthy lives, the risk, If the business were conducted en n sound basis, would probably be no greater. The cost would probably be less, especially In the Item of commissions or salaries te so licitors. If anything can positively be predicted as te mi utterly untried scheme, it can be predicted that men of I in pal reel lives would need much less soliciting te Induce them te insure than the men of healthy lives de.

Mouenteut s'trnexle While the Ittne Was In Bn.pen.e Germany's Victory. "The first ectidn of the France-German war which Emperor William witnessed was the colossal ftruggl&ef Oraxclotte. While' rrince Frederick with the Thiel nrmy corps was striking hnrd at the French right front Vcmevllle le St Marle-an-Chene, King William remained all day with the first nrmjvvhich Stelnmet was hurling against the French left, holding the weeds nnd bare, sloping plateau of Btubcrt. Irfite in the afternoon the fierce ness of the fighting and uncertainty of the Issue drew William right up te the edge of the ravine- between tlrnvelotle nnd the plateau of Stubert, There he sat nmeiig the soldiers, mounted en his black horse, watching the fierce ami all mil ititiie ef forts made by the stout infantrymen of Ven Oeben and Glunicr te ronke head against the hurricane of fire with which the French swept the smooth, sloping glacis which the expanse of the plateau afforded. "All of a sudden thcre ran through the German combatants out In the pandemo nium of slaughter ever against us n spasm of panic, that lmpulse te which, In the strain of excltehient, the best troops nre liable. Panic, like the fire en a prairie, ran back across the rnvlne nnd caused a momentary sauve qui pent among the un engaged troops about the king. Shells came crushing into the dislocated ranks nnd for a moment an outburst of disorder had - swny. William was borne back in the pressure, remonstrating vehemently with uplifted voice nnd flat of sword. Bismarck was said te have goteutastrldot a gun, nnd the royal staff was temporarily' broken up. The panle was ever in a few minutes nnd order restored, but the French had strengthened their grip en the plateau. "The Issue of the battle was still in suspense when, under the last rays of the setting sun, the last rescrve of Germans, the Second corps, enme up nt a double te the brink of the ravine. In the lurid glare of the blazing village, King Willlnm Btoed by the wayslde nnd greeted his stalwart Pomeranians."

"The crisis was dreadful. "As we watched the lssue in n sort et spasm et somber silence, the king sat with his back against n wall en n plank, ene end et -which rested en a shattered gun carriage, the ether en n dead horse, "Bismarck, with an elaborate assump tion et indifference, made a prcteuse te be reading letters. "The rear of clese bntlle swelled nnd deepened till the very ground trembled beneath us. "Night fell llke (v pall, but the hlaze et the adjacent conflagration lit up the anxious group thcre byi the churchyard wall. Frem out et a medley of broken troops en the glittering Blope In front came BUddcnly a great shout which grew In velume as It rolled nearer. Hoefs et galloping horses rattled en the causeway. "A moment later Field Marshal Ven Meltke, his face for once quivering with excitement, sprang from the Bnddle and, rushing toward the king, cried eut: "'It is geed for us I We have wen the plateau and victory is with your ma jesty.
