Now that winter's end has come, women’s thoughts are already begin- ning to turn to lighter wraps, and no sooner will the day of furs and fur linings be passed than the lace coat will make its appearance. Even now it is occasionaily seen with a warm interlining and no apparent additional weight. There is something distin- guished and beautiful about an all- lace evening coat. True, the mesh needs to be laid over glittering tissue or soft chiffon, with the usual silken lining, but it requires very little trim- ming; perhaps but a few incrustations of another lace in a border effect, or medallions inserted in the all-over pat- tern. ‘While ahiontilly or all black, or white with black or the arrangement re- versed are stunning combinations for such coats, and sometimes even the lace is dyed a shade to match or har- monize with an evening dress.—Phila- delphia Bulletin. * Blue Camelias., Whether or no the blue camelia was inspired by the sad fate of La Dame aux Camelias there is no learning. And, with all deference to the blueness of the last days of Marguerite Gautier, it makes no difference—it is here. And it is pretty. It has appeared on the hat of the Tair one who is to spend a month in Flor- ida. The hat is a chip, a lovely shade of blue, almost as brilliant as tur- quoise. It is bent into something the shape of a small tricorne, and the dents seem to be held in by the big bunches of . Parma violets. Between these bunches of sumptuous violets are placed blue camelias. This gives the wreath effect. The convéntional shape of the scentless camelia renders it very effective. Indeed, a fluffy flower might make the hat look fussy and overdone. So much the vogue is the camelia that it is done in many colors besides its own lovely white and red. Hints For the Giris. Some one has suggested fifteen things that every girl can learn before she is fifteen. Not every one can learn to play or sing or paint weli enough to give pleasure to her friends. but the ‘following “accomplishments” are within everybody’s reach: Never fuss or fret or fidget. Never keep anybody waiting. Shut the door, and shut it softly. Have an hour for rising, and rise. Learn to bake bread as well as cake. Always know where your things are. Keep your own room in tasteful or- der. Never go with your shoes unbut- toned. Never let a button stay off twenty- four hours. Never come to breakfast without a collar. Never hum so as to disturb others, of all things. Be patient with the little ones, as you wish your mother to be with you. Never let a day pass without doing something to make somebody comfort- able. The girl who has thoroughly learned all this might almost be called a ‘“mis- tress of arts.”—The Sunday-school Vis- itor. Princess a Needlewoman. Needlework always was popular among old-fashioned women in Eng- land and Canada, but it has fallen sadly into desuetude here. There is a chance, however, that ali Americans who set their watches by the clock of St. James’ will find renewed interest in the little bit of steel when they learn the Princess of Wales is one of the most accomplished needlewomen in either hemisphere. What Her Royal Highness doesn’t know about fancy stitches doesn’t amount to much, and when it comes fo plain sewing she is far superior to the best seamstresses in the royal household. Most of the fine linen in her town house has been em- broidered by her own hands, and it is said she marks all her husband’s gar- ments with his crest and monogram. Moreover, the Princess is proficient with knitting needles. It is whispered in court circles she makes most of the Prince’s stockings by hand, and that she betrays pointed chagrin if he for- gets to wear those she turns out for him. Even a royal dame must have decupation, and, in spite of the many demands on her time the Princess is fonder of simple household pastimes than of the bridge and baccarat en- joyed so tremendously by her royal papa-in-law.—New York Press. Make Him Comfortable. A man must feel that he can thor- oughly enjoy himself in his own quiet way before he will stay at home on every possible night, says the Phila- delphia North American. If your hus- band feels like having a smoke or game of cards with his friends, let him have it at home, and do not drive him to seek such pleasure elsewhere by complain- ing about the extra work and trouble. Do not be selfish and expect him to listen to all your worries while you make no sympathetic inquiries about his own, and, above all, try to be cheerful and thus create an atmosphere of brightness in the home, which, no matter how neat and tidy it may be, will otherwise be unattractive. Many wives sorely try their husbands by their lack of cheerfulness or encour- agement in times of adversity or other- wise. This one failing alone has more to do with a husband’s absence from home than almost anything else, for when a husband meets with no en- couragement at Lome, he naturally seeks solace eisewhere. And finally, when the matrimonial knot is tied, do not make the mistake of supposing that dull monotony must now hold sway. Be the same immacu- late and daintily attired woman when your work is done that you were be- fore marriage. Keep up a perpetual courtship, and do not allow anything to prevent you showing an absorbing interest in the man you have sworn te love, honor and obey. Tactfully humor him, and make yourself as agreeable five or ten years after marriage as you did during your honeymoon. It is by such means that a husband can be prevented from deserting ‘he domestic hearth. Care of thexHands. You can’t have pretty hands without the most careful manicuring of the nails and taking some care of the skin in cold weather or where any house: work is necessary. The first step in grooming the hands is'that they should be exquisitely clean, and the second is manicuring. It is absolutely necessary that they should be washed in soft water, and best of all, water made soft with borax. It nol only whitens the hands, but keeps the nails of nervous women from getting brittle. The water should be tepid, never hot, and pure castile soap should be used. To whiten the hands, use a wash of three ounces of rosewater, two ounces of benzoine, half an ounce of glycerine and half an ounce of borax. Before manicuring, the nails should be soaked at least five minutes in strong castile suds. Then the nails should be filed, never cut with scissors, fnto shape. After the filing the edges should be smoothed with fine sand paper, and the nails cleaned with an orange wood stick. Last, they shoula be powdered and rubbed very gentiy with a polisher. Nails are cut slightly oval to fit the shape of the end of the finger, and never highly polished. If the hands are at all inclined tc roughen with exposure to cold or the plunging into water necessary in housework, they should be softened with cream every night. Before rubbing in cream, scrub the hands, even if chapped, in warm water and soap with a hand brush. Brush each joint, then the nails, until every bit of soil and grime is removed. then dry thoroughly and rub with some tested cold cream. Too much rubbing and polishing wil. make the nails brittle. and too muck soaking will ruin the color. If they grow very swiftly, file every four days and smooth with emery paper. It is an excellent plan where there is laundry work or dish washing to be done, to keep a jar of cream in the kitchen and rub the hands with it al. ways before drying. then pat dry and they will be smooth without feeling greasy. Hands that redden or rough easily should never be allowed outdoors un protected. Where there is any tendency to chilblains, fleece-lined gloves or woolen are most disastrous. Heavy dogskin or caster with a fur muff are the best precaution for hands suscepti ble to Jack Frost's admiration. A well kept pretty hand is not a mere exhibition of vanity; it is a proof of good taste and a desire to give other people innocent pleasure. Lace is seldom used with the cloth suit. The combination of fur with con trasting fur is a fad of the season. The collarless coat has seen its day The new coats have collars. Some have deep ones that will turn up anc keep the ears warm. Except on elderly ladies, bonnets are rarely seen now thattoquesare fashion able and universally becoming. They are small, medium and large, and are simply covered with folds of crepe o1 mourning silk. Embroidered leathers are fashionable with furs. They appear in self or con trasting tones. Embroideries, shaded in the shades of the color of the gar ment, are used. The leather collars and cuffs are not used entire, but bound with fur. Face veils may or may rot be worn, according to personal taste. Usually a thin mesh in a weave becoming fc the wearer's complexion is brought just under the nose or to the tip of the chin This face veil may have a trim border of crepe, too, if desired. A novelty mourning costume was one made of all crepe, trimmed with folds of soft silk. The skirt of this was cut with a deep circular flounce, headed top and bottom with flat trim. mings of peau de soie, veiled with black mousseline. The bodice was sim- ply relieved with narrow bands of silk. This makes a very handsome and elegant gown, and for a change is rather good, but the general effect is heavy, and would be ponderous for any but a large woman who could carry off the real and imaginary weight. LUTHER BURBANK, THE PLANT WIZARD. The Man With Te Potatoes--What He Has Accomplished Since--Some of His Wonderful Fruit, Flower, and Vegetable Creations-- The Thornless Cactus, HEN Luther Burbank came to California, nearly thirty years ago, he had with him ten Burbank potatoes, the partial result of his youth- ful study, research and experiment. As a boy, working in his uncle's plow factory, he was of an investigating turn of mind, and his instinctive desire to better the things at hand resulted in the invention of wood-working machinery that was so valuable that he was offered special inducements to remain at the factory. But he had been working among plants, following out the bent inherited through his mother, whose family included famous horticulturists. So he quit his factory work, and turned his attention to the development of plant life. The potato was the first subject of his research, and this he perfected until the Burbank potato was produced. Then, his health failing, he sold all his potatoes but ten, and with them as his plant stock in trade came to Colifornia, settling per- manently near Santa Rosa. This was in 1875. Since. then, the Burbank potato, which gave him his first fame, has added millions to the wealth of the world. But it was only the beginning of his work. During the generation that Burbank has worked in California, he has originated, developed and placed at the service of the world new and improved plants, fruits, vege- tables and grains so numerous that it would be difficult to catalogue them. He has not only bettered what he found at hand, but has originated totally mew species, creating, appar- | ently from nothing, but in realty out | of hitherto worthless material, plants that had never grown before. He has | transformed the Shasta daisy, once almost a weed, into a huge, fragrant flower. He has made the amaryllis, the lily, the clematis, and other flowers, take on new shape and added beauty. He has taken flowers that were beau- tiful but of disagreeable odor, and made them wonderfully fragrant. And within the last few monghs he has perfected a flower that, cut from the stem, still retains its lustre, its velvety texture, and its fragrance. One of these flowers, cut months ago, has been hanging in Mr. Burbank’s house ever since, and shows no sign of withering. It is expected that this discovery will work a revolution in millinery, But to make the beautiful things of earth more beautiful has constituted but a small portion of Mr. Burbank’s work and research. He has improved almost every variety of fruit, and has placed new ones upon the markets. Wonderful results have been achieved with prunes and plums. By the most persistent endeavor he has brought forth a seedless plum, rich, juicy, palatable; has made skinny, fleshless, sour prunes into huge, fat, sugary ones. He has crossed the plum and the apricot, the result being the “plum- cot,” a fruit most valuable to com- merce, and has given another plum the flavor of the Bartlett pear. The quince, through his work, has been made smooth or skin and palatable in its raw state. Not only has he developed a white blackberry, but has to his credit the first recorded instance of the production of a fixed species by man. This is the primus, offspring of the native California dewberry and the Siberian raspberry. He has worked with the rhubarb until he has secured a plant that will grow here nearly the whole year. : Mr. Burbank’s experiments with the walnut have been very interesting. He sought to produce a nut with no tannin, and with a comparatively thin shell. The first trees bore nuts with shells so thin that the birds pecked through them and ate the meat. He began again, and now has achieved his original design —a white-meated walnut, and thin shelled, of exquisite flavor. The last and probably the dental of Mr. Burbank's achievements is the production of the thornless cactus. Nature gave this desert plant defense against animals, thus permitting it to grow luxuriantly with little danger of molestation. But in rocky, inacces- sible places, where animals could not penetrate, .the cactus became, in time, through. lacking need of defense, com- paratively thornless. Mri. Burbank se- cured some of these plants, and for years has experimented, until he now has a cactus free from prickly surface —smooth, velvety, and as full of juice as the desert variety. It is about half as nutritous as alfalfa, and grows where that grass would not survive for a week. It is estimated that there are one million square miles of desert land in the United States, nearly 2 of it worthless. Even with irrigatic- brought to its highest development, not more than one-fifth of this land could be made fertile. But the cactus will grow on every inch of it, and its stem contains both food and water for cattle. It is probable that in time Mr. Burbank’s transformation of this plant will result in millions of ucres of now waste land being made, if not habitable, at least of immense benefit to mankind. Mr. Burbank’s home is at Santa Rosa, but his chief experiment farm is at Sebastapool, several miles away. No conservatories, scientific apparatus, are to be seen. The earth is his workshop, and there, no laboratories, no | | i dreadfully when backed by infinite patience, Enowleage gained by years of experimenting, and, ‘better than knowledge, a nature- lover’s intuition, he’has achieved ree -sults that have made him famous all | over the civilized world. The public hears only of his suecgsses, not of the failures that must be endured be- fore success comes. Often hundreds of thousands of plants and trees are grown and destroyed before perfection is reached.—San Francisco Argonaut. ENGLISH FOR TOURISTS. Only When an American Travels Does He Realize His Language’s Possibilities. If an American wishes to know what his native tongue is capable of, he should :leave his own country and go east or west. Provided he travels far enough in either direction, he will get many put forth by persons who cater to English-speaking people. Here, for in- stance, is a fascinating picture of a Contenental hotel, as its proprietor paints it in English: “The old hotel, former proprietor, was a great rumbling edifice, quite un- suitedable to the reception of guests, but it iS nothing to the modern new, one. Attached to this hotel is a repair work-chop for automobiles. From the dining-room terrace the beautiful view can be seen as far as the eye can reach. A large stock of original and charming memories of the town, of proper in- vention and production. No connection with any.inferior shop having the same style. From our own wine-yards we are unique proprietors of these bests vintages.” This reminds a contributor to Tit: Bits of an advertisement he saw a year or two ago in a newspaper of Bern, Switzerland. It ran: “The — Hotel is a favorite resort of those who are fond of solitude. Those who are in search of loneliness are, in fact, constantly flocking to this hotel from the fore quarters of the globe.” But this delicious sample of English must yield the palm to the following notices, the first of which was posted in the bedrooms of a large hotel in the. Juras,. while the other was ad- dressed by the proprietor of an Alpine hotel to his clients: “Strange gentlemen will to please not dress for dinner, as this costume flut- ters the hearts of the maid-folk, and no work is aceomplished.” “Misters the vencrable voyagers are earnestly requested not to take the clothes of the bed to see the sun rise, for the colour changes.” “Though so extensive,” begins the ad- vertisement of another Continental hotel, “the establishment entails no stairs; ascent, the: electrical” lift en- abling visitors to gain quickly the higher-most apartments or fall down again.” So runs the tale of absurdi- ties; but these examples would prob- ably seem less ludicrous if matched, as they easily could be, with a collec- tion of French and German themes per- petrated by our own schoolboys.— Youth’s Companion. Uncle Sam on a Smoke Trail. Every one who has ever read a sea story written since steam vessels were introduced cannot help having had im- pressed upon him memories of ‘the trail of thick black smoke” that re- vealed the presence of an enemy’s cruiser, a blockade runner or a pos- sible rescuer. : The Navy Department has at last begun to take notice of this familiar “trail of black smoke,” for, beginning in the spring, all new vessels. that are building will have to under go tests to show how much smoke they do emit from their funnels. The amount of smoke a war vessel gives out while under way has come to be recognized as an important factor, for the volume of smoke is largely responsible for the distance at which she can be ‘picked up” at sea. By measuring the up-pour- ing smoke additional facets may be gathered as to the efficiency of the fur- naces and boilers. The department’s present idea is to take a series of snapshots at stated intervals of a ship while she is steam- ing on her trial trip, and from these the quantity of smoke may be easily determined. In speaking of this new departure the other day a naval officer questioned the reliability of such a test. Said he: “All of these trial trips are made with picked --coal, to say nothing of picked crews of firemen, who naturally could produce a more even combustion with the selected material at hand than a crew of enlisted firemen could with the stuff the average ship burns at sea.”—New York Press. The Man Who Rules Japan. The Emperor of Japan is the sun of all authority. Everything in Dai Nip- pon shines by his light. In the Jap: anese conception of history he is the living representative of the Gods who made Everlasting Great Japan Whether it were court nobles of imme: morial lineage, heads of military clans, mediaeval governors who governed in the Mikado’s name, or the all-powerful Shoeun at Kamakura or Yedo, they did but shine by borrowed light. Even the constitution of 1889, which made government representative and pro: gressive, was a gift in the name of its divine ancestors from the Emperor. The whole theory of administration is that the Son of Heaven is the source c> all authority, and that prosperity to the nation comes from his divine ancestors through him. The most seri- ous questions which Japanese patriots lLiave to answer, and the most weighty problems they have to solve, centre in this—how to reconcile this ancient the- ory with the claims of civilization and of Christianity.—William Elliot Griffis, D.

He was an enterprising man, and through his business contact with seafaring men and merchants enlisted in foreign trade, saw the importance of improving shipping and the method of marine insurance. He was the founder of the system of maritime and commercial intelligence which has been developed into its present effectivness. Before the time of Edward Lloyd mari- time insurance in England was con- ilucted by the Lombards, some Italians, who founded Lombard street, but after Lloyd embarked in the business Britons conducted marine insurance in Lon- don. The subjects of marine insurance are the ship, the cargo, and the freight, all of which may belong to different par- ties. In time of war there is what is termed the maritime risk—the danger from aceident, collision and stranding— which is distinctly separate from the risk of capture and seizure by an en- emy. This class of marine insurance had its inception in the conditions aris- ing during the seven-year French-Eng- lish war of 1757 to 1763. Lloyd's moved to Pope’s Head alley in 1770, and in 1774 removed to the present quarters in the Royal Ex- change. In 1871 Lloyd's was incor- porated by act of Parliament. This act defined the objects of the society to be: (1) The carrying on of the business of marine insurance by mems- bers of the society; (2) the protection of the interests of members of the so: ciety in respect of shipping, cargoes and freights; (3) the collection, publi- cation and diffusion of intelligence and information with respect to shipping. The corporation of Lloyd's and the committee of Lloyd’s, who are the exec- utive body of the corporation, and the secretary of Lloyd's, have practically nothing to do with marine insurance in the way of taking risks or paying losses. Their duty in this respect is to afford marine insurance brokers who wish to effect insurances a place of meeting with those who undertake the risks.—Scientific American. Cooper’s Cave to Disappear. People who have read “The Last of the Mohicans” will remember—per- haps—the events it describes as hap- pening in a cave close to the foot of Glens Falls. Anyway, enough people have remembered them to make the cave the object for years past of many pilgrimages more or less pious, and it is a’ new grievance against the “paper trust” that cold and hungry monster is “going ‘to blast the rocks all away and put a big mill in their place. This it will do by virtue of a deed executed on December 28, 1904, by Frederick H. and Arabella S. Parks, conveying for $1 all the interest Mr. Parks had in land lying in the Hudson River in the towns of Moreau and Queensbury, commonly known as ‘Cooper’s Cave” or island. The cave—it is rather a fis- sure—is in a little lime rock islet. It was cut through the limestone by the swirl of water from the falls, but it was practically obliterated when the stone arch bridge, made familiar to many by the annual calendars of an insurance company, was demolished in pursuance of the Supreme Court order made by the late Justice Joseph Pot- ter in 1888, and the blasting of the rock for the pier of the new iron bridge broke down its thin and shaly rock roof. “It now is swallowed,” says a local chronicler, “in the iconoclastic maw of the trust, and another Ameri- can antiquity is made to be a thing of the past, to exist only in legends of ‘Leather Stocking’ and the Iroquois braves, for its site lies within the space that is to be occupied by the mammoth new mill that the Interna- tional Paper Company is preparing to erect at South Glens Falls.” This seems really lamentable, for the cave was historic in a way, and had asso- ciations that were not the less real because they were the products of im- agination.—New York Times, Progress in Rural Italy. John Elliott, who decorated one of the ceilings in the Boston Library, with Mrs. Elliott, who is a daughter of Julia Ward Howe, recently leased a studio apartment on Washington Square South, after a residence of seven years in Rome. The other day he was showing a visitor to his studio some sketches of the quaint little hiil villages of Italy, which are about the most primitive things to be found in the way of human dwelling places. The visitor asked: “Have these villages begun to mod- erninze in any way?’ Well, yes,” said Mr. Elliott. is one quite siriking note of mo sy aere lern- ity. These villages were all originally situated in the most likely spots .to resist invasion, quite irrespective of convenience in other ways.

About a century ago an army order was issued forbid- ding officers to wear eyeglasses or spec- tacles. But a short-sighted officer be: longing to a crack cavalry regiment had no mind to resign his commission or stumble blindly, and he invented the single eyeglass. That solid silver statue, on a base of gold, which attracted much attention at the Chicago World's Fair, in 1893, supposedly containing about $60,000 worth of silver and the base about $200,000 worth of gold, and which has since been on exhibition in various parts of the country, has been broken up as the result of a lawsuit and found to be mostly a hollow sham. It comes pretty nearly making a record as the best-sustained fake ever paraded be- fore the country. en An interesting collection of specta- cles is that possessed by Mrs. Wesley Williams, of Bowdoinham, Me. More than 100 years old, these curios were the one-time property of the women of Bath, who were forced by destitute circumstances to seek refuge in the almshouse. Many are of odd pattern, with side lights and extension bows. Another valuable souvenir owned by Mrs. Wesley Williams is the sword of her great uncle, Colonel Samuel Coombs, a famcus officer of the Revo- lutionary War. — There is a man of seventy in Paris, named Wallac» Superneau, who still sleeps in the cradle he was rocked in when a baby, and he has never slept one night of his long life on any other bed. The youngest of a family of boys, Wallace retained his place in the cradle as he grew older. He soon. became too tall to lie in it full length, but fie overcame this difficulty by drawing hig knees upward. Each night to this day he rests his feet squarely on the bot- tom of the cradle, sways his knees to and fro and rocks himself to sleep as he did when a small boy. The habit was formed in babyhood and never broken. a The London Chronicle gives the pro- nunciation of a number of names of places in England where ‘phonetic laziness” has made the spoken name of the town far different from the writ- ten name.

Marguerite may shine—indeed, very often does shine—but her qualities are never so deep, never so genuine, as are Margaret's, writes Seumas MacManus in Good Housekeeping. Marguerite may be, and usually is more brilliant. She has sparkle with her; she has wit: she has repartee; she has the knack of impressing people more quickly, and winning admirers far more frequently, and gathering an adoring circle around her with immensely more ease; but her friends are not so genuine, and her ad- mirers wear not nearly so well, and her adorers are as quick to change as the figures in a kaleidoscope. It is true that Marguerite eventually makes what the world calls a brilliant match. _ Whether or not it be a fortunate match, leading to true happiness, time alone shall tell. She could have married solely for love—the passion had worthy place in her bosom, but she married only partly for love (she persuaded herself that she loved .him well enough); chiefly she married for power; with that power she got what love the poor fellow’s soul was capable of giv- ing; then she led her circle and queened it finely over her followers, and she’ was kind and good to her husband in, an autocratic way. She dazzled peo- ple; was adored by some, and envied by many.- Had Marguerite devoted herself to art instead of society, she would have acquired. no mean name ag a painter; and though she might not in this line of life carry so hizh a head, she would have borne a happier heart and a izind more care-free. For her light-heartedness, her jollity, and her true Bohemian qualities, she would have been known and noted, loved and courted; and she would have queened it then over another kind of circle in a more natural way. The Iarguerites, full of ambition as they and aiming at many things for ch nature did not propose them, ftentimes miss their vocation, and stake their sphere.
