Although the earlier models of the season's millinery were generally large the' latest designs show the return of the small hat and toque. Fur toques are especially smart, and hats both large and small, with erowns scarfs of fur, are also very fyshion able. The sketch shows a small hat of | satin- finished beaver in the new | bronze tint, the crown being hidden by a scarf, of black lynx, black plumes | trimming the left side of the hat. Stiff | fall aigrettes are also very mu h used trimming the smaller fur toques, {and a rather flat rimiding of white gardenias is also much in vogue. A Cheapened Honor. Time was when to our profegsion- al eyes the happy possessor of a Q.C. or K.U. stood on a pedestal apart from the profanum vulgus, and he seemed to be made of some superior quality of clay. it is hard to live up to that high ideal when it is scarcely possible to cast a stick in any direc tion without hitting a king's counsel. It is, an cconomic law that as the Bup- ply of any commodity becomes too great the market value is certain to or j decline, and we fear that the premier, in his lavish and generous emptying of the K. C, cornucoria, has done Fomething ta cheapen the distinction. The value of the title is "hot quite what it was a week ago, Sad to say + majority of Kingston's KC's are Presbyterians.

"One day," to Croydon and touched for a red tay (gold watch) and red tackle (gold chain) with a large locket. So 1 took the rattler home at once. When I got into Shoreditch 1 met one or two of the mob, who said: 'Hello! "Been out today? Did you touch? 2 "So I sald 'Usher' (yes). So I tock them in, and we all got canon. When I went to the fence he bested (cheated) me because | was drunk and only gave £8 108. for the lot.

"So ¥ thought to myself, 'All right, my lad, you will find me as good as my master," and left him. Some time after that affair with the fence one of the mob said to me: "I have got a place cut and dried. Will you come and do jt? "So I said: 'Yes, What tools will you want?

"He was going to the Lyceum thea. ter, so whén my pal came up 1 told him all about it. So we went and screwed (broke into) his place and got thirty-two quid and a toy and tackle which he had bought on the erook (dishonestly).

The gossip In the ball of the four courts, which of course reached the bench, was that one of the judges had been somewhat excited by wine at an entertainment in Dublin castle on the previous evening. "Is it true," the chief justice was asked, "that Judge --~ danced at the castle ball last night?" "Well" replied Do- herty, "I certainly can say that I saw him in a reel."

References to the Swiss navy are usually jocular, but it is none the less a fact that ships of war once floated and even fought on the waters of the lake of Geneva. The great fleet was that of the Duke of Savoy, who at the beginning of the fourteenth century maintained a number of war galleys armed with rams and protected by turrets and propelled by a cnew of oarsmen varying in number from for- ty to seventy-two. These vessels be- sieged Versoix apd even blockaded Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet which helped in the capture of Chllon in 1536, and when the Bernese an- nexed the canton of Vand they, too, had their flotijla. Their largest vessel was the Great Bear, with 04 oarsmen, 8 guns Ja 150 fighting 'men. --West- minster Gazette, * Office Boy's Little Coup.

No Man Knows a Wijean the Moment of | Unconsciousness Comes. There is a remarkable fact connected | with sleep which must not be over looked. The sleep of a human being. | if we are not too -bus¥ to attend to the | matter, always evokes a certain feeling | of awe. Go into a room where a pew | son is sleeping, and it is difficult to resist the sense that one is in the pres- | ence"of the central mystery of exist. | ehice, People who remember how con- | stantly they see old Jones asleep in the club'library will smile at this, but look quietly and alone" even at old] Jones and the sensé of mystery wil | soon develop. It is no good to say that sleep is only | r "moving" because it looks like death. | The person who is breathing so loudly | as to take away all thought of death causes the sense of awe quite as easily as the silent sleeper who hardly seems to breathe. We see death seldom, but were It more familiar we doubt if a corpse | would inspire so much awe as the un- conscious and sleeping figure--a smil- ing, irresponsible dell, flesh and blood, ~but a doll to whom In a second may be called a proud, active, controlling consciousness which will ride his bodi- ly and his mental borse with a hand of iron, which will force that body to endure toil and misery and will make | that mind, now wandering in paths of fantastic folly, grapple with some great problem or throw all its force into the ruling, the saving or the destruction of mankind, The corpse Is only so much bone, musclé and tissue; the sleeping body is the house which a quick and eager master has only left for an hour or so. | Let any one who thinks sleep is not a mystery try to observe in himself the process by which sleep comes and to notice how and when and under what conditions he loses consciousness. He will, of course, utterly fail to put his finger on the moment of sleep com- | ing, but in striving to get as close as | he can to the phenomena of sleep he | will realize how great is the mystery | which he is trying to fathom, A JAPANESE DINNER.

A Japanese servant entered with the tea, and the Japanese dinner began. For first course there were sweet bis- cuit and tea--delicate tea of the April harvest, "first chop" tea, formerly served with cherry.spoons and a poem for each guest. Next came ushio, a salty soup, with which the national wine, called sake, was served in flat saucers, The third course was a little raw fish, very salty and steeped in a sour and | appetizing sauce. The guests, con- | 1 trary to their expectation, found the | raw fish no more difficult to eat than raw oysters.

These viands were all ar ranged decoratively on one large dish. The fifth course, also on one dish, was bolled bamboo shoots with soy, salted mushrooms and a cold boiled salmon and cold boiled perch, with pickled shoots of the ginger plant. | Next came a soup of seaweed, bit sortment of nuts boiled In soy; pext salt relishes; next deliclofis boiled rice, the grains as large as cherries, and, to conclude, tea again. The young girls as they rose from their Jow cushions and limped about | in the effort to get the stiffness out of | their legs said that the Japanese din- | ner had been very good, really much | better than they had counted om, but | perhaps a little too salty for occidental | taste.~Exchange. i | A Shower Wedding, "And you say whengthe heiress be- came the wife of the foreign noble man it was a shower wedding?"
