The lads thus expensively and Choristers A,charming novelty suit is made bolero style ; the coat is of bordered silk in black and white, charmingly combined with a skirt of black crepe metcor. The directoire coat predominates and these seldom extend below the girdle in front; the backs reach below the hips and sometimes to the knees. One of the most important feaâ€" tures of the new models is the girdle. It may be broad or narâ€" row, folded, draped, or smoothly fitted to the waist line. There are many tailored suits with their short and threeâ€"quarter cutaway coats trimmed with white tulle plaiting with a picot edge. BOYS‘ GORGEOUS COSTUMES Some of the latest evening toilâ€" ettes are draped with mousseline scarfs, from which hang loose chains of strass and pearls. Gold and silver thread stockings are one of the spring novelties. Another is the stocking of open net, which looks like voile. One piece robes are in bolero efâ€" fects, divided at the waist by high draped satin sashes of a contrasting color. Black and white combinations of chiffon, grenadine, or voile have waist belts of bright blue, dull red, orange, or grass green. Purple and blue, veiled with gold embroidered chiffon, makes a deâ€" lightful wide girdle for a gray chifâ€" fon gown. # The plainer dresses for little girls are made of nainsook, dotted swiss, mull, dimity, cotton crepes, and marquisettes. Some uf short all run down the back. The plaited shirt bosom effect is a new feature of this season‘s blouse. The result is entirely soft and feminine. Canton crepe is being combined | with embroidered chiffon for greatâ€" er lightness of effect as summer‘ comes. The bordered silks and cotton crepes, voiles, and marquisettes are among the loveliest of the spring materials. There are some short coats of chiffon or thia silk, to be worn with white lingerie frocks. Little girls‘ coats have long reâ€" vers and drooping shoulder seams, just like their mothers‘. The newest thing in cretonne bedâ€" room furnishings is the small flowâ€" ered pattern. t Many simple threeâ€"quarter sack tailor coats have girdles of black satin ribbon. The finest hats are of malin, while hemp is the Paris modiste‘s second choice. For girls and little girls plain strictly tailored coats are in good style. Smart tub frocks are made of linâ€" en, pique, or sponge cloth. The suitlike dress is conspicuous among the spring costumes. New blouses are made of cotton voile, marquisette, and linen. The small hat has received the approval of Paris for this spring. The blouse with the contrasting sleeve is quite the vogue in Paris. Children‘s aprons made with Rusâ€" sian closings are novel and pretty. In millinery all black effects are fashionable, as are also all white effects.

Two other splendid inmates of the menagerie are the griffon vulture and the golden eagle. The whole collection is being lent by Mr. Tyrâ€" whittâ€"Drake to Edinburgh â€" this summer, where it will be on exhibiâ€" tion for three months. _ Rince then, under the careful tutelage of Mr. Tyrwhittâ€"Drake, this particular lioness has developed inâ€" to a firstâ€"class cireus performer. She vaults chairs with the easiest grace, sits up and begs, and goes through various evolutions at the bidding of Mr. Tyrwhittâ€"Drake once he has entered her cage. This is the only amateurâ€"trained perâ€" forming lioness or lion in existenvce. There is another perfoming animal in the menageriecâ€"a bear, who in the days of its youth was a wonderâ€" ful trickster, firing off pistols, ringing bells, and doing all sorts of‘ astoniching things. But with the advance of age Bruin has retired' from the businessâ€"as his fellowâ€" artists sayâ€"and now he performs no more. i The menagerie at Cobtree Manor includes two lions, four lionesses, Ifour bears, three leopards, five l'wolves, four dingoes, two jackals, |two camels, two foxes, a spotted \hyena, a sacred Indian bull, and a [ number of strange cattle and birds. ’Kwping Wild Animals the Latest Fad in England. !

In reply it can be confidently said that the | physical limitations are those only | of the depth of our entrance chanâ€" |m-]s and the length of our harbor |piers. Judged from the economic !sband-poi.n‘t, from the point of view of revenue earnings for the steamâ€" ‘ship companies, there is every inâ€" ducement to build these transâ€" Atlantic liners in everâ€"increasing isizes; provided, of course, that the speed be maintained within reasonâ€" able limits. It may be broadly stated that the larger the ship the less the cost of carrying a given number of passengers and a given tonnage of freight. The same prinâ€" ciples which have led our railroads to build 50â€"ton cars and 300â€"ton locomotives encourages our shipâ€" builders to produce vessels 1,000 feet or more in length. her length is increased only by the freeboard of the Vaterland at he: stemhead, this ship will have th« distinction of being the first 1,000 foot vessel. A third vessel is building upofi the docks at Stettin. She is to be ‘larg?.r than the Vaterland, and if les, the 1,000â€"foot ship is within sight. The launch of the Vaterland (formerly known as the Europa) for the Hamburgâ€"American Line has carried the transâ€"Atlantic liner up to within 50 feet of the 1,000â€"foot limit suggested by Sir William White as a remote possibility. If we remember rightly his statement was mae at the time of the appearâ€" ance of the White Star liner Oceanic, the first ship to exceed the length of the Great Eastern‘s (692 feet) and the first to exceed the limit of 700 feet. Since her appearâ€" ance the progression has been raâ€" pid. She was followed by the Adriâ€" atic, 725 feet over all; the Lusiâ€" tania, 790 feet; the Titanic, 882:4 feet; then by the Imperator, 920 feet ; and now by this 950â€"foot ship. Thousandâ€"foot Liner Regarded as f Dream of Few Years Ago. Not so very many years ago that distinguished naval «wrchitect, the late Sir William White, surprised the world by stating that if the conditions of transâ€"Atlantic traffic ealled for a 1,000â€"foot ship, it would be perfectly practicable to build and operate a vessel of that size, says the Scientific American. Few of us at that time dreamed that there would ever be a call for such a huge vessel ; yet so rapid has been the development of transâ€"Atâ€" lantic travel, and so industrious have been the dock and harbor commissioners on both sides of the Atlantic, that not only is accomâ€" modation in the way of channels and piers being made ready for such a ship, but, thanks to the enâ€" terprise of the stcamship companâ€" GROWTH OF ATLANTIC SHIPS.

When Mulai Hafid, exâ€"Sultan of Morocco, succeeded to the Sukanâ€" ate, he found the sacred city of Fez infested by rats.

Lead colic causes severe abdominal pain. but in this case the condition of the patient‘s gums makes the diagnosis easy. When the pain is due to some serious internal condiâ€" tion, the physician can quickly reâ€" cognize the fact by the prostration of the patient, and by other sympâ€" toms that he has learned to associâ€" ate with acute abdominal disease. The chief symptom of simple colic caused by an error in diet is pain. The pain may be felt in one place, or it may move about from one part of the abdomen to another.
