?FOR WOMAN'S BENEFIT. j A Pale ?reen Foulard. An exquisite foulard for evening or state occasions is of palest green, scrolled with black. It has a long top skirt rucked with black and white chiffon, and a white silk vest spotted with violet; thero are softenings of lace and little tabs and bows of violet velvet to fasten the bodice across. f . Straw Hats. To wear With summer gowns of light color there are ' most attractive hats of yellow straw trimmed with bright flowers. Some of'these are in toque shape; others are broader, while others again are a little on the poke bonnet order, and are fastened under tho chin with strings either of tulle or ribbon. This matter of bonnet strings fa a fierions one to*recommend rashly to the world'at large. Tb some faces there is nothing so becoming as the sttings, while, on the other haud, nothing eau be more unbecoming; it is curious what a difference it makes. The strings ou these large poke bou nets are put quite far back, and, as a rule, .are of soft tulle or okiflbu, tyiug under the chin in a soft bow, but with no long ends. Older women who al ways wear the bonnet strings have the narrow ones_ of black velvet or black satin. -Harper's Bazar. rrincen? Iron? a Shirt. ! A story is told of the Princess Louise's visit to the Bermudas. These islands belong to Great Britain. The islanders determined to give her a re ception and both rich aud poor made ready to do her honor. One day she was out sketchiug, for, like the Queon and the rest of her daughters, she is fond of sketchiug. She was thirsty and called at a cottage door for water. The good woman of the house was busy and refused to go for the water. She, of course, did not know who the princess was; she was busy ironing; she was ironing a shirt for her hus bandvtp wear at the reception of the Queen's daughter, she said. Oh, no! she could hot leave that to get water for anybody. -"."If you will only get me the water," said the princess, 'Twill finish iron ing the shirt while you are gone." So the princess ironed the shirt while the woman fetched the water. No Restriction In Style. It has been remarked, and deserved ly so^ that, ladies this season, as a rule, wear' millinery very becomiug to them. This is undoubtedly to be at tributed to the great variety of shapes patronized by fashion, i^01"111^1'11^ each to choose the one that suits her best, instead of being restricted to a few, none of which may bs of an or der to set off her good points to the best advantage. .

Miss Octavia Bates of Detroit is one of the interesting women who read papers at the council ot womeu in London. Her subject was "Womau in Law," and much iuterest was felt iu this paper, as women versed in law are few and far between in all coun tries except this, and Miss Bates' bril liant attainments warranted her opin ions being most valuable. She is a graduate of Ann Arbor university and also of its law school, aud has al ready taken two degr ees, B. A. aud LL. B. Her favorite form of law is ?studying it under its iuternational as pect, which is nothing if not abstruse. Miss Bate3 has a fin? mind and ex- ; presses herself with great directness, and lucidity. She is uow planning a trip around the world. She has already conquered four foreign languages. Personally she is a handsome woman, with a magnetic presence, possessing the charm of naturalness aud sincerity, and she is also the possessor of a largj private fortune, so that her ad vanced knowledge iii law has come to her as a pleasure and pastime au 1 not as. a necessity.. As a club woman Miss Bates is widely known. She hos been "a member of the National Fed eration of Clubs aud is now in the National "Council as chairman of the standing committee on domestic rela tions uuder the law. She has a!so been president of the Detroit Wo:vau's club. ? . .. j Women or Kardinia. The women of Sardinia are doscribad by a visitor *o that island as being of elegant figure and graceful carriage, with large black eyes, dark hair and brunette complexion. They dress in much the same style as women in other parts of civilized Europe, except that there is not the same extreme haste to adopt the latest fashion. The wives and daughters of the farmers and tradesmen, by the gorgeousness of their costumes, amply compensate for the simplicity of dress amoug the upper classes; aud at their religious fetes and other festivals, when they appear in gala dress, they present a wonderful spectacle. These costumes are a kind of family heirloom, handed down from mother to daughter and treasured as highly as hereditary jew els or aucestral portraits. The fashion never changes, and instead of fee ing ashamed of beiug seen iu the same dress at two different entertainments, they glory in its antiquity and in the unmber of occasions on which it has been worn. The costumes of the women vary greatly in different parts of Sai.dinia. lu some districts a small black jacket, open in front, is worn over an extremely short bodice of some bright colored silk aud brocade. There are apparently no corsets. The petticoats of light brown cloth, very full, and between it and the bodice is a sort of neutral ground of protruding garment, which by no means adds to the general beauty of the toilet. Youni? TV o in rn Astronomers. Miss Fleming, a young lady assist ant in the astronomical observatory at Harvard, has recently discovered a new star of the fifth magnitude in the constellation of Sagittarius-the Arch- j vas either invisible or over by everybody before. This is t important astronomical dis- j covery ever made by a woman, al though Miss Maria Mitchell,-who was a professor at Vassar college, con tributed a great deal to the world's knowledge. Miss Fleming is employed to meas ure, compare and put together the photographs of the heavens that have been takeu during the last twelve years by a syndicate of observatories in Europe, thc United States? Russia, Japan, India, Australia, tho Argentine Republic and Perth The leading as tronomers ont?red into au agreement by which they divided up the work aud each has been making photo* graphs of his share. When they are completed they will be put together for au international map of the entire heavens. Miss Fleming has charge of this work at Cambridge, and her sharp eyes recently picked up a new star in thc photograph of the constellation of Sagittarius that was takeu only last August. It is not marked on any of the charts and does not appear iu any of the photographs previously taken, but its position has since been veri fied and the new heavenly being has been catalogued. A duty similar to that of Miss Fleming has been intrusted to another American girl by the astronomers of France. Her name is Miss Dorothy Klumpke. She was boru in California, and after graduating from the Stan ford university with two of hor sis ters, who were also extremely talent ed, she took a course in the univer sity at Paris. One of her sisters took a degree in law, while she took a doc tor's degree in astronomy and mathe matics-the only womau who ever won so high an honor at the Paris univer sity. Her graduating thesis was on "The Mathematical Theory of the Riug3 of Saturn," which gave her so great a reputation that she was invited to take.a position as assistant in the national observatory at Paris, where she has been promoted uutil 6ho is now chief of the division in charge of the international photographic chart oi the heavens. Professor Simon Newcomb of Wash ington was asked the. other day if women were accurate in the higher mathematics. "Yes," he replied,"they are quite as accurate and exact and as conscientious as men."-Chicago Rec ord. New Story About Piittl. Here is an amusing and character istic story about Adelina Patti, who, as all the world knows, recently be came tho bride of Baron de Ceder stroni. After her marriage she went from her Welsh home, Oraig-y-nos, to Cannes, and before leaving she gave instructions that all her mail was to be forwarded to the Cannes postoffice. When she arrived at Cannes sho went to the postoffice and asked the official if there vere nuy letters for thc Baron ess Adelina de Cederstrom-Patti. "Lots of them," was his reply. "In fact, they are coming in by every mail." "Then givo them to mo," she said, eagerly, being naturally very auxious to receive news from home. . "Have you any old letters by which I eau identify you?" asked the of ficial. "Xo," answered Mme. Patti, "I have nothing but my visiting card. Here it is." "Oh, that's not enough, madame,1' was the cold roply. Any one can get visiting cards of other people. If you want your mail, you will have to givo me a better proof of your identity than that,-" Mme. Patti, however, was not to be baffled so easily. "Yon must surely have seen Ade lina Patti's photograph," she urged. "Well, look at me. Don't you seo I am the same person?" Eveu this argument did not con vince the official, and a moment later he abruptly turned away, throwing the coveted pile of letters into a drawer. A brilliaut idea then struck Mme. Patti. It was quite early-only eight o'clock -and there was no one in the postoffice except au old clerk, who was busily writing. A goldeu opportunity it was.andthe great artist availed her self of it. She began to sing. A touch ing song she chose, the one beginning "A voice Ioviug and tcuder," and never did she put more heart into the melody. Aud marvellous was the change as the brilliant music broke thrungli the iutensc silence. lu r- few minutes the quiet postoffice was filled with peo ple, and hardly had tho singer concluded the first few linos of the ballad wheu the old clerk came for ward and said, trembliug with excite mont : "It's Patti, Patti! There's no one but Adelina Patti who could sing like that." "Well,are you satisfied nowV'asked thc madame of the official who had ex pressed doubts as to her identity, aud who now stood opeu-mouthed in front of the crowd.

TITEPLANET OF KOMANCE MARS, ITS SUPPOSED INHABITANTS ITC MOONS AND CANALS? Tlie Lntest Sp?culation!? bf tho Astrono mers ill Itvgard to This Mystoilon* Orb-yo Langer Accountable for War* butt i>isa&tern-Its Annual InuHdirtlons. Mars may well be termeil theplaaot of romance, says Miss Mary Proctor in St. Nicholas, since more rbinnik-e? havo been told c?ilcer?iilg it than about auy other planet in the solar system. In ancient times it was selectod as the plauet of war on ac count of its ruddy light, its symbol being tho spear and shield of the old Assyrian warriors. But thc evil qual? ties attributed to the ruddy hues of Mars by people believing it planetary influences have long ago been con signed to the realms of romance, and Mars is no longer held accountable for the wars and disasters that take place on planot Earth. Seen through a flue telescope, Mars presents the appearance of a miniature earth floating overhead, the ruddy markings indicating land, the green ish markings outlining seas and water courses, while white caps adorn the regions corresponding to thc polar re gions on earth. Tho rstrononier, in the quiet aud ease of his observatory, can make a study of these regions, which may not as yet have ever been seen by the inhabitants of Mars be4 cause of the daugers which prevent access to them. We may well doubt whether tho bravest Martian ever suc ceeded in reaching either pole of the planet. Yet our eyes have rested on those polar regions, eveu on tho very poles thomselves. In the same way au observer on Mars might direct a telescope toward those arctic regious of our earth which tho most daring of our explorers have iu vain attempted to reach. Mare tums round on its axis j ti st as the earth does, except that tho day lasts longer than the day on earth. With the telescope it is possiblo to follow the hourly changes that take place on Mars from sunrise to sun Bet. Wo eau see the mists of morn ing gradually cleariug away, and the gathering clouds toward evening, probably to pass from the skies at night, leaving the stars to shine with a greater splendor through a rarer at mosphere. Perhaps one or both of the little moons of Mars (for it has two, named Deimos aud Phobos), may be shining in the sky. Deimos rises in the oust like other stars, but tho inner moon, Phobos, hurries arouud Mars three times a day. For this reason it rises in the Avest every uight and sets in tiro east aftor about five aud a-half hours. Neither of tbe moons pivos much ligut, since Phobos supplies only one-sixtieth of the amouut given by our moon, while Diemos gives only one twelve hun dredth. But the smallness of the Martian moons must bo takeu into consideration, siuce Phobos is only seven miles in diameter and Deimos five or ?ix. Continuing our observation ?f the planet Mars during its daytime we see iu imagination the white-shore line along which tho murmuring waves ripplo, or dash iu broakers agaiust rock and promontory. Clouds form and rain falls on the surface of Mars, though not on such an extensive scale as here. Nev ertheless, during the latter half of October, 1891, an area much larger thaa Europe remained c\enst r ob^ scored. On another occasion Sir Norman Lockyer noticed a great mftss ,of clouds spreading over a sea many thousand square miles in extent. As the hours passed awa}' the clouds slowly dispersed, either melting on account of the sun's heat or dissolv ing in rain. When Lockyer ceased observing for tho evening - at half-past ll-a large portion of the sea, which had beeu concealed, gradu ally came into view* On this same night Mr. William Butter Dawesj known as "the eagle-eyod astron omer," was also studying the planet of war, keeping it well under observa tion until the "wee sum' hours," wheu he made au excelleut drawing of the planet. Comparing this with a draw ing made an hour rv.rliorby Lockyer it was seen that tho clouds which had coucealed the sea during the earlier part of tho evening had passed eu tirely away. Referring these events to the Martian time, thc cloudy weather ou this occasion apparently occurred in the forenoon, thc mid-day hour bringing clear weather, which would seem to have lasted till the afternoon was far advanced. Judging from the whitish light which is usu ally seen all around the planet's disk, the mornings aud eveuiugs ou Mars are misty. In 1877 Schiaparelli observed some peculiar linos on the surface of the planet .vars, and ho called them canals. For nine years he was the only astronomer who could see them; aud wheu, in 1881, he further an nounced that the canals had doubled, it wns supposed for a time that the Milanese astronomer was :he victim of an illusion. However, siuce then the result of his observations of the canals of Mars have been abundantly confirmed both in Europe and Ameri ca, especially at the Lick observatory aud the Flagstaff observatory. Tho observations made by Mr. Lowell at the latter observatory and those already made by Schiaparelli tend to make us feel very much at homo ou planet Mars. However, it is neces sary to state that Mr. Lowell's theo ries are not generally received among astronomers as satisfactorily estab lished at present, but they are well worthy of consideration. The canals are not visible during the winter season on Mars, but as springtime advances they make their appearance as faiut, dark line-, grow wider and wider until they are fifty miles across, and then, by way of variety, they double. In fact single canals have besn known to double themselves literally at a day's notice, the twin canals running along side by side liko railroad tracks"; only in this instance the railroad tracks are sep arated by a distance of over two or three hundred miles. Some of the cauals extend to a distance varying from three hundred to upward of four thousand miles, and appear to be as accurately straight as Hues eau be up on a sphere. The canals seem to meet at a number of smajl spots or junc tions, which have beeu termed "lakes" by Schiaparelli, and "oasis" by Mr. Lowell. These small spots are scat tered over the ruddy portion of the planet's surface, forming a curious network with the canals, the spots rt the junction of the cauals being as important a feature as the cauals thomselves. Mr. Lowell assumes that the rogiou intersected by tbe canals corresponds to the desert rogiou on earth," and that tlie canals wcro apparently con structed for the purpose of fertilizing this region and the oasis in the midst j of ihe wilderness. Th'erefoie, v. hat we see is not the canal itself but vege tation along its banks. Yet this doc? not account for a canal doubling"itself within twenty-four hours; for, ro- j manee as we may about Mars^ we cad scarcely imagine vegetation develop- j ing with such amazing rapidity; Aa , the cduals wideii the oases do not in- | breas? in size, but darkeii, which would seem to indicate that they be bome covered with vegetation as th? season ddvances. Mr. Lowell als? en- j ters into interesting ?peculations as to the canals being of artificial formation, ignoring the rather serious difficulty H'S to tho temperature of Mars. He sees evidence of engineering skill in. the construction of the canal system, which he attributes to the superior ability of the Martians. ^Tinder the circumstances we Ca? well imagin? the (supposed) inhabitants of Mars recognizing the necessity of such dau nts as a protection against the destru? tive effects of the annual inundations; but several years ago Mr; J; Orr of tho British Astr?u?mical association found, oil calciilf.cioui that the coii RtrUctioU of such canals would require nu army of two hundred million men working for a thousand years; HIS HOMOrt ON WIFE-BEATING; An Arkansas roll co Justice's Remarks Upon Sent.?nciii^ an Offender.

Strictly Her Own, At 'a meeting of the Bostonian society in the old state house, says the Boston Transcript, C. W. Ernst de livered an interesting talk on the sub ject: "Words Coined in Boston." Mr. Ernst said that Governor Andros in troduced, among other unsalutary things, the term, "Your Excellency," as applied to tho governor. Tl 6 speaker claimed the word "boss"' was first used by a mrtn named Gardner, who came in a ship from the North sea in charge of some mcchnuics; The word "help," meauiug a person h?ed to assist, is Bostonian, and was con sidered a very honorable appellation Mr. Ernst meutioned the following as having had their origin iu Boston; "Real estate," "corder," "dockago," "measurer of wood," "advice and consent," "mixed drinks,M "dooming j board," "transients," referring to hotel accommodation, used as early as 1700 in a permission giveu br the selectmen of Boston; "fire ward," "fix," "stormy," in the Boston sense of rainy, cloudy, but not necessarily implying wind; "limbs," applying to both anns and legs, and described as being peculiar; "depreciating cur rency," "fluctuating currency," and "promoter," claimed by the speaker to have boon first introduced in a treatise on finauce by Dr. Douglas; "Boston brown bread," used first in 1756 in description of abake Vmixture of rye or wheat with Indian meal; "assortment," replacing an original Sortiment; the use of the "store" for "shop"; "goodies," "factory" for "manufactory" in 1767; also iu the revolutionary and pcst-revolutionary period various phrases,' including "coutiueuial congress." ? Mr. Ernst described "block" and "police" as terms originating in Bos ton, sayings that the police werfe thus named here long before the term was applied to them in England. He held that "bindery" was coined in Boston; also that the telephone "hello" went from here to all parts of the world. "Teamster" was Boston-coined, so was "bicycler." 'Temocrat" had its origin in Philadelphia in 1793, and was first used to describe a party policy in Boston in 1801. A Kansai Schoolboy.

It causes the oil glands in the skin to become more active, making the hair soft and glossy, precisely as nature intended. It cleanses the scalp from dandruff and th?s removes one of the great causes of baldness. It makes a better circu lation in the scalp and stops the hair from coming out. . Ayer's Hair Vigor will surely make hair grow on bald heads, provided only there is any life remain ing in the hair bulbs. It restores color to gray or white hair.

Lowell, Mais. A Crafty Old Scotchman: There was especial opposition to tin disturbance of the old (iranary burla' ground adjoining tho Common, lu Bos ton, through a portion of which th( subway runs. It was necessary tc remove the remains of 910 persons in terred there. One elderly mau ol Scotch descent made a great fuss ovei what he termed "the enormity of mo lesting the bones of his ancestors.' After much argument, delay and per suasion, the venerable Scot was in duced to agree that if the city woult construct a tomb according to hi.? ideas he would consent to the remova without causing further trouble. Or the day the rttult was completed tux giu.rdlnri of his progenitors was takei over to inspect this new repository "Now," said Dr. Green, a former Maj or, who had charge of the work of re moving the bodies, "you cnn set a da} and the remains can be brought ovei nnd deposited herc.'* "What!" ox claimed tho old gentleman, "have tha' nice new tomb littered up with thos( old hones?

Since the bootblack's profession has followed the general modern trend toward "organisation" it seems to have become a highly remunerative pur: suit. At least, this'must be Inferred from the high rates which the boot blacking companies are required to pay for the privilege of carrying on their business In certain desirable places. Some time ago people were surprised to hear of the large sum that had been paid by the head of one hf these compnnies for the exclusive bootbl?cklng rights on the boats of One of the ferries. The idea that the little italian hoys Worked for a com pany; and were not in the business "every one for himself," was quite hew to most persons. A little later they received still further proof of the modern methods of the profession when they saw the cash register car ried by each boy in Which he was re* quired to deposit all the prices of his "shines;" But the latest development and the one that best illustrates how the busi ness buist pay is the rent charged for bootblack's chairs ih the new giant Office buildings. There are several of these structures ih which the exclusive shoe-shihihg rights are rated as being worth from $1,000 to $2,000 a year in rental to the owners of the buildings, in one of the newest and hugest, scarcely yet finished, a man recently Offered $1,500 for the privilege of op* erattng ten chairs. for a year. . This sum was refused without an instant's Consideration, the owners asserting that $S,000 a year Was the least they would accept. By figuring a little it ls easy to see how much each chair would have to.] make to pay Its rent alone, leaving Out of reckonlug the wages of its op erator. Allowing three hundred busi ness days to the year, the rent for each of the ten chairs would be $1 a day. That Would mean twenty five cent shines. It is hot likely that tho bootblack who presides over one of these chairs could be hired for less! than $1 a day. and this brings tho ex pense of maintaining the chair up to $2 daily, requiring forty five-cent shines. Now, Unless a bootblack could obtain tnore than forty shines a day, bis company would lose money ort the choir-that is, if the high rent of $1 a day were being paid on lt Whether or not the owners of the building have yet succeeded in convincing dny boot blacking company that the privilege bf teri chairs there is worth $3,000, the very fact that so large a sum ?? fixed upon by them, and that two thirds of that amount i? already be ing pnld elsewhere for the same thing, proves that the business of polishing shoes, as lt is now carried on, is more profitable than many a higher-sound* lng enterprise.-New York Tribune. Champion Snake Snapper. Thc soil of Bridgeport ls very pro lific of snakes. They grow there, along the river banks and under old, weedy walls, in an amazing way.
