AMERICA GETS TIIE BEST. As Incident that Should Convert Worshippers of Everything Parisian. Writing of "Grand Opera in Its For mative State." in the Woman's Home Companion, John Gilmer Speed tells this fact, which will astonish those who consider Paris the Mecca of the - best in artistic lines: "Recently an American artist who lives in Paris was visiting his family in New York. He spent all the time he could at the opera. His people were quiet folks and could not under stand tfie young man's enthusiasm. They thougl t his fondness for music was so great that perhaps he had made a mistake in choosing his voca tion and should have adopted the fid dle and the bow instead of the palette and brush. They were incredulous when he told them that it was impos sible to hear and see in Paris such magnificent presentations of opera as were common in New York. They thought, as most ofsus think, that ev ery kind of art flourishes better in Paris than anywhere else. The idea that in practical America their artis tic son and brother could hear better music than in Paris was something of a shock to them. And well it might have been, for Paris is the home of art, anil art is still encouraged and developed better there than here, for there there is a religion of art, and the votaries have a zeal and an enthu siasm which compel respect. But not withstanding this we have tMe price to pay for what we want in this country, and the liberality to pay as well. For instance. Jean de Reszke. who is con sidered by some the greatest grand opera tenor the world has ever seen, and generally conceded to be the pre mier tenor of the decade now ending, never gets less than fifteen hundred dollars for an evening in America, and ometimes as much as thIrty-five hun red dollars; but in Italy, France or 1 ermany he would have to be content th two hundred dollars; while his ward in London might go as high as < e hundred dollars. Naturally, I iherefore, we get in the larger cities < of America the best talent the world i holds, and the past two seasons in New York have been the most brilliant the world has known." The Lung Power of Animais. t Very few people stop to think that e the size of an animal's lungs has any thing to do with the use of an animal. n Yet the size of the lungs counts enor- C mously when it comes-to the question 0 of laying on fat or of consuming fat b that has been laid on. The hog has 0 the smallest lungs of our domestic - animals and is, therefore, a great con server of fat. Ii we want to get fat we f can get It to greatest advantage i* through the hog. The reason is that a the smaller the lungs the less carbon a they throw qf',/-and the less carbon I - they throw o(hIe less s constried a * ateria to make carbon-.e lives a quietto -t need tQ4& - - r change fat into :nergy. n- h The race horse would be a h 1 mal ti fatten because he has immense lungs and those Iungs are consuming carbon at a great rate. The racer must, therefore, have a well-balanced i ration and his carbo-hydrate ration must not be reduced below th.e regulat Look For the "Planet of Romance," on May 28th. Part of the investigations of May 28th will be directed, not to the sun Itself, but to the space lying between' the sun and Mercur~y. We are told in I a paper by Julia MacNair Wright in< the May "New Lippincott" that it has been the dream of many astronomers a that about half way between tlee sun , and Mercury lies a little planet, lost in 1 the efrulgence of the sun. Sir Wil- 1 11am Ball names this the "-Planet of 1 Romance." Other astronomers have j searched for it, christening it Vulcan before it has been found. If ever such a planet rolled exactly between the earth and the sun, it would sometimes be seen crawling like a black dot across the sun's disk. In the gloom of an eclipse such an orb might show its face if its position as regards the earth g were favorable. Most astronomers r have eggcluded that there is no such t planet, but that the space between 5 * Mercury and the sun is empty. r 'Mrs. WInslow's Soothing Syrup for children - teething, softens the igums, reduces infiamma ion, allays pain. cure wind colic. s5c.a'oottle, The unsuccessful man consoles himsel with the thought that lots of men are toe brilliant to becorae famous.

"taflced".ith Thompson's Eye Water W OIANIS WORbBI NEW WHIMS IN WEDDINGS. The Matron of Honor a New Performner at the Ceremony. The matron of honor at up-to-date weddings is a joy to many a girl whose intimate friend is a young married woman, or whose nearest and dearest relative has entered into the estate of matrimony some time previous. Though the maid of honor is by no means relegated by oblivion, the ma tron of honor is her most decidedly up-to-date success. The costume of the maid of honor, too, varies emphat ically from that worn by the maiden attendant, a light costume, but one of a more dignified character than that suitable to the tender years of a demoiselle d'honneur, is generally chosen, a hat or perky little bonnet being its accompaniment. Another innovation is for the bride groom to be accompanied by his sis ter, who hands him the ring at the crucial moment with much more aplomb and savoire faire than marks the demeanor of certain flurried best men. A pretty thought, that can be car ried out either in church or at home, is to have the bridal procession pre :eded by two youn women, who un roll as they walk the broad white satin ribbon that marks the passage way for the nuptial party following. Tis ribbon is held in a roll by two oung men at the back, who let it out slowly as the girls advance to the ltar, fastening it when the fall path s marked, and then walking up ahead f the bridesmaids to -join the two naids, who have fastened the ribbons, :o the first pew or some other spot de-! rised for such an attachment. A similalfancy is to have the girl riends of the bride, if she has eniough vith whom she feels sufficiently in imate to call upon for this office, to orm a path edged by floral garlands r even those of leaves, these being, If course, cheaper than a florist's sup ly of blooms. In fact, both varieties f garlands can be made by the at endants, this loving service adding auch to the sentiment of the occasion, a like manner diminishing the ex )enlse. e, Though it is for the first wedding ' hat tho biggest preparation is gen rally made, a youthful widow about D venture for the second time on the iatrimonial sea should be given some i nsideration. This conclusion has i een reached by a certain well-known I ne, who declares that as she didn't c ave any fuss and feathers when she riginally walked up to the altar, ehe itends to make up for it on her see nd venture. Of course, the whiteC 'ock and the veil are out of the ques on, but she has substituted in their e bead a pale gray spangled tulle, with lF tiny floral coronet, from which falls s eli down n'.,n the train flowing ib treams of tulle that have quite the I ffective becomingness of a v-eil with- a ut being called such. She will be Ifi ad couples, husbandi and madamaes, owever, not walking together. It . ill be quite out of the usual, but 1' 'ntyappropriate. Pink roses .will form the floral comn- .c nd vio 'sand bouton- C ination for bo ieres and will decorate the he room in which the bride and F room will receive congratulations. An unselfish little schoolgirl bride, rhose associates are as poor as her- I elf, is going to marry a very wealthy san. She has elected to have as her rdding gift, instead of the usual liece of jewelry, the companionship f one of her girl friends on the round he-world trip which is to be her redding journey. The favored one ill be decided upon by a slip of pa ser in the wedding cake. It is an Lnselfish thought and will probably1 ring a superabandant joy to the one ortunate enough to secure the lucky aper, but will the bridgrooma be1 qually pleased with the arrangement. I r discover that two is company, three a none? ___ A Hnanoe Street Gowni. A very pretty street gowvn of dull rayish green cloth has the cloth skirt lade bell-shaped over a drop shirt of ffeta. The drop skirt is finished ~ rith a very scaut circular cloth ruffle. he cloth, which forms a tunic, as it er, being cut off shorter behind than ~ a front, is trimmed around the bottom C ith a thick, wide silk fringe. A ~ rimming of heavy eeru lace encircles he skirt in a peculiar way. It is ap lied at about the height of the hips r ehind and in front is made to dip ~ lear to the bottom of the skirt. The ce is overhanded to the cloth with a ning of dull violet taffeta, tacked I nder each lace flower. The space et.a+bM w-iais.A line is filled in ith a wide. wrinkled ~g-In or ,orr he bolero is short and open in front vr a vest of white silk. embroidered r rith detached lace flowers, laid over a haped pieces of velvet silk. Lace rimming like that on the skirt is < urned back around the neck and'i .own the fronts of the bolero, whichi i made without a collar. A single rge motif .of lace, with bits of violet ilk under the fib wers, is placed at the eight of the sleeve. The standing 1 ollar is of white silk, horizontally j acked and decked in front with a full I hort-looped bow of violet foulard. wo ends hanging from the bow are 1 nished with wide violet silk fringe. I 1he fringe at the bottom of the tunic I of black silk and chenille.< The Hair Is Waved. Fashion still decrees the hair must a waved, not in the small wave as iough it had been frizzed, but in the >ose soft waves that are always be oming and look as though they were atural. There are a great many dif arent ways how of producing this ravy effect besides using the hot ons, but if the irons are not rough or overheated, there is not a great eal of danger of the hair being in-: ired. The trouble is that people go - n using the same irons even when I iere is a roughness that is sure to ome on any metal that is constantly I eated, and it is this roughness that* uts the hair. There are plenty of' romen whose hair is in perfe-t condi ion anj yet has been waved every day :r some years, but it has been most arefually done and the irons have been bsolutely smooth. There is no eni i devices for waving the hair-large air-iu with a slide that holds thei hair in place, taut are said to give most natural wavy appearance, shoi9 pins with an overpiece of elastic, and other pins too numerous to mention. They all are good, but of course their use demands that they be worn at night; and they are not good for long hair: the front and side locks can be managed very well, but with the back hair it is exceedingly difficult to give a wave of the desired size if the hair is long.-Harper's Bazar. Women as Seafarers. Women have not become prominent on the sea as yet, but a few of them have at-acted attention in this line. Olga, eldest daughter of the Grand Duke Constantine of Russia, and wife of George I., the present King of Greece, was appointed by her cousin, the Czar of Russia, to be Admiral in the Russian fleet, though her office was, of course, an honorary one. Lady Clifford, according to the Strand, was the first lady in England who ever obtained the Board of Trade certificate for proficiency in naviga tion. With an efficient sailing master under her orders she navigated a 350 ton yacht in the Channel and Mediter ranean with such success that she in tends shortly to visit the East in the same manner. Mrs. Minnie Hill, in 1890, held a pilot's license from the United States, and plied her calling on the Pacific coast. Another American woman, Miss Ccllie French, was admitted as a member of the United States Ameri can Pilots' Association for services on the rivers Ohio and Mississippi, hav ing served under her father, who was a pilot for fifteen years. South African Women. A niece of President Kruger, San aie Kruger, who was in this 6fntry at the outbreak of hosilities, is typical A the South African women, and: :hough educated in France and Bel-j gium, she spent her girlhood on the reldt and farm of her native country.' [n her own picturesgue words, says ,ollier's Weekly, she thus recently xpressed herself, which will show omething of the kind of life a Boer! Iirl must lead: "Like all Boer girls, aw an excellent shot. From sheer iccessity we have all been obliged to earn how to shoot, and one eorthr irst perquisites of our education is te it a bull's-eye at long range. O ur uinning with the gun has been hand-I al down to us through generations.

Lace garniture forms the trimming. f both black, white and colored hats, nd is usually white or cream-colored. iome white hats are, however, ar anged in the same manner with black hantilly lace, and are by no means he least elegant. BFashion's Fads and Fancies. Black, white, or very light tints of ibbons, are used in profusion on the ewest silk underskirts. In the renewed rage for kilted and laited effects, fine accordin plaiting as also returned to favor. One of the newest forms of the 24-aeakefunears to have no fast ning at (11, but isflleibly eams. The colors and delicate gradations if shades in the new r-ibbons are~moie han usually charming. Of course, he pastel shades have a prominent lace. Lace effects in the new ribboas are ery new; one particularly lovely one ad a pin cord of white striped on a ale green satin ground, with a heavy ace border. From Lyons looms this season come louble-width silks both plain and ordered to be used for the new killed nd box-plaited skirts, and circular verdresses. Dainty handkerchiefs in pale colors mbroidered with white are pretty rifles which are exceedingly effective fthey match the prevailing color in he costume. Skirts in plaited form will have un testioned reign 'for t wo seasons to onme, and in the hands of various toted ateliers they are increasing with xtraordinary r-apidity. Shades of gray are charming in the ow woolen materials wvhich are to be een for the newv gowns. Some of hem are to be seeni with pretty satin tripe?, some with little embroidered igures, the small bow knots that never oem to grow old. The little bits of hemstitched linen >r lace and muslin which decorate the ops of all silk or ribbon collars are aeily made at home, and as one needs nany of them this is economical.

It is a most interesting sight to be iold one of these giant redwoods fall.' The process of cutting is effected through the use of the axe and the, saw. All axes are double-faced,i through which much time is saved in sharpening. Sometimes tho axes, start the cut on both sides of the trunk and at places about opposite each other through the thickness of the' tree. After the chopping has pene-J trated to the depth of about' two feet on each side, the saw is started in the line of the incisicr. and the job completed w.ith that in-, strument. Generally, however, the, direction in which the t-'ee is to fall is! dete-m;-d, and the cut is made in that side ti the depth of from onc three feet. Then the choppers pass to the cpposite side and begin sawing at a point s3veral feet higher than the place of the incision. As the saw 'noves through the heart of the giant .ie begins to sag down on the -side 'where the wound is gaping. In do png this he lifts apart the cut andl opens the section which the ssw is muaking, thereby keeping free play for; !the saw. This is aided at times by driving wedges at the place where the saw entered. Presently it is apparent that the secton is opening wider and wider and that the tree is beginning to lean away from the cutters. They con )tinue with their work a moment longer, then is heard the cracking of he wood fibres in front of the saw teeth. Another swish of the saw and these increase. They give a report like firing pistols and the rapidity of deto nation of a Gatling gun. The sounds, getting more rapid, presently merge into a continuous roar. Then, if you are standing near by and the tree is large, you will get the impression that everything above is comiLg to earth; that the whole forest is falling. The great mast starts slowly to topple, cracking and exploding ever louder at its base, until with a fright fal momentum, it comes sprawling. down, cracking and crushing and roaring and bitting the earth with a| clump and thump as if a whola .broadside of thirteen-ilac ImeaL ThieRe > ly run over th , trunkC with their -es and cut away all the branches.

So far the tests with fuel oil in tended as a substitute for coal on ships of war, which are being made at Nor folk and New York, do not appear to have sustained the glowing reports of tests made abroad. It is most prob ible, however, that coal will some day be superseded by some more easily iandled fuel. The authorities having :harge of the present tests have nearly reached the conclusion that fuel oil rwill be valuable only in times of emer ,ency, especially on board torpedo joats, when it is necessary to get up ;team quickly. At such times the luestion of economy need not enter nto the matter. It is yet too early to letermine whether fuel oil will be ;mokelcss, and the other features which have recommended iu trial have lot been fully demonstrated, therefore t may be some time before anything lefinite in the way of an improvement vill be discovered.
