The autograph hunter is rampant at the world's fair.

There are the autographs of all the queens of England in one grand collection, and the autographs of all the queens of all the other countries another. Queen Victoria's handwriting is of the sedate, quiet type--not at all such as you would expect a ruler to write. Miss Campbell, whose business it is to point out the pictures of the queens of England in the assembly hall of the Woman's building, says that when Victoria learned to write, she had no idea that she would ever attain the throne of England. She was taught merely the "yojmgr lady's hand" of the. period.

It is very important that each phase of the work should be thoroughly completed before another is liegim. The covering of the wire foundation with thin silk must first be accomplished; if required fluted or plaited, the flutes or plaits must be arranged beforehand and tacked.

Autograph hunters are not permitted to steal the famous specimens in this exhibit. They" may, however, make a fac simile of them.

You see collectors all around the room stretching their pieces of tissue paper over the glass which covers the originals and copying them with delicate strokes. Mrs. Cleveland's autograph is here sought in fac simile as much as though she were a queen and wore a crown with a Kohinoor for a setting. Her autographs have been preserved from, the time she was eight years old and began to go to school. In those days she wrote her name "Frankie A.

Folsom." Her writing- at the of fourteen was very patchy and had the uncertain look of one struggling to acquire a fine fashionable hand and had not yet quite mastered the first principles. After her marriage Mrs. Cleveland wrote her name -Frances Folsom Cleveland." Hut latch- she has dropped her middle name and writes it simply "Frances Cleveland."

The form of frame which obtains most is the pagoda, with upturned corners; and its picturesque contortions render it less difficult to bring- to perfection than the flat circle or the dome. Materials of yoocl quality should be chosen.

If the if ilk is half cotton, it will never look clear or a g-ootl color. Cheap, common lace, and second-rate ribbons will spoil the most delicatcly handled shade, and nevcrdo the maker any credit, Pink is perhaps the color most frequently used, but yellow, the warm of amber and maize, are preferable; for pink has the disadvantage of seldom harmonizing hang-ings and furniture. J'ule green is doubtless the best us regards ircncrul harmony, but light shining through green hardly becoming to the complexion.

Oi late, therefore, attention has been turned towards the production of shades that will look almost- as well in the daytime as at nijrht. With a view to this, lace flounces been superseded by fringes, the sof tsilkiness of which is at- once prettier in the evening and less garish by day. Shades made of silk and fringed are more easily suited to the style and coloring of a room than those covered and trimmed with lace. A very favorite style of fringe consists of pieces or loops of ribbon, not more than half an inch wide, each end or loop having- a bead sewn to its extremity, so that it may hang as straight as a plumb-line.

FULL-DRESS SHIELD. Why Canadian Poachers Must Be Fre- vcuted from Carrying ou TUelr tomary Depredations-- The Tiro Seal Groups. In his argnmeBt before the arbitrators in the Behring sea case Mr. Coudert, of counsel for the United States, gave an interesting account of the habits of the Alaskan seal, over the proprietorship of which the whole contest is being waged.

The peculiar thing about these seals is that, although in their journey from the south to their stamping- grounds in the Behring they pass islands innumerable, they invariably select two groups, and only two, as. their summer home. One of these is on the coast of Asia and is known as ConuhanderofE. The, other is the Pribyloft' islands, two in number-- St. Paul and St.

George-- off the Alaskan shore. These islands are but specks in the sui-rounding- waters. St. Paul contains but thirty-two square miles and St. George twenty-seven square miles.

'Why these two groups should be selected is what no natural- lis has as yet been able satisfactorily to explain. Nevertheless the. fact remains that it is to them and to them alone that the seals annually resort while in northern vraters. About this season of the year the Pacific ocean north of the fortieth degree of north latitude is liberally sprinkled with seals on their way from southern waters to their northern summer resort. The males appear to more rapid swimmers than the females.

At all events they arrive at the islands a week or two ahead of the females. On reaching- them they immediately proceed to select quarters on them for their summer abode, and these quarters are always at some point near the sea, from -which it is easily accessible. When they arrive they are rolling- in fat and weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred pounds each. About the beginning- of June the females beg-in to arrive and a few hours a s.

THIRD STREET How to Waists. It fs a science in teelf to josk the waists of a frock, particularly when they are adorned, as now, -with bristling "bretellcs and immense sleeves lined with crinoline. If nicety is more of an object than room in the trunk it is well to take tissue paper, crumpling it around these troublesome trimmings, which it will greatly serve to protect.

Fierce conflicts frequently occur over these selections and the stronger always come out on the, top. While on the islands the male seals eat next to nothing They appear to live on the superfluous fat they have accumulated during the winter season, and they start out again on their southern trip they arc living- skeletons. The southern trip is beirun early in Aujrusl and a rule tho islands arc clear of seals by the end of a month. A few may remain till November, after which none are seen till the following" May.

Apple saxice is frequently served with roast pork and with roast duck.

It is, however, good with bread and butter for luncheon, or with cream and suprar for desert. One way to make it requires the use of a little butter. Take six larpre sour apples, peel and core them. Stow them in a pint of water with four table-spoonfuls of sugar and a ho teaspoon of butter. Stexv them until they arc soft enough for sauce.

A little cinnamon adds a pleasant flavor, and those who arc fond of nut- meg 1 often use it in the sauce. Delicious Lemonade. If you want a really excellent lemonade, do not depend itpon guessing. To every quart of tvater use three lemons and the rind of one, taking-care to peel the rind very thin, using- nothing but the yellow outside. Cut this in pieces and put with juice and powdered sug-ar in a jug or jar with a cover, iising 'two ounces of sugar to every quart.

Heat the water as for tea, then pour it over the lemon and sug-ar. Cover at once; then let it get cold, add ice and serve. A New Icing. Here is a new icing which goes well with rich cakes or pastry: Take some warm water and stir into it equal portions of ground sweet almonds and fine castor sugar, using- sufficient of these ingredients to make an icing sufficiently stiff to remain on the goods when spread; add, while stirring in the almonds and sugar, orange-Hower water to give a full flavor. Of course, the icing may be colored any shade or tint desired.

Call it "Alexandra almond icinjr." collar have an inter- thousand they are allowed to kill each season. These tire taken from those between three and four years of acre. the skins being 1 most valuable at that time. Of course it is impossible to discriminate as to age or sex when the seals are in the open, sea, and therefore the necessity of preventing the Canadian poachers from carrying 1 on their depredations. They kill all they meet without respect to age or sex.

ZhJs Fish Goes Hunting. The jaculator fish, the piscatorial n-unner of the Javan lakes, uses his mouth as a squirt gun, and is a marks- of no mean ability. Go to a small lake or pond filled vnth specimens of jaculators; place a stake or pole in the water-with the end projecting- from 1 to 3 feet above the surface, place a hectic or fly on top of the pole and then await developments. Soon the water will be swarming with finny crunners each anxious for a shot at the tender morsel which the experimenter has placed in full view. Presently one comes to the surface, steadily observes his prey and measures the distance.

Instantly he screws his mouth into the funniest" shapes imaginable, discharges a stream of water with precision equal to any sharpshooter, knocks the fly or beetle into the water, where ho is instantly devoured by the successful nimroel or some of his hungry horde. This sport may be kept up as long as the supply of beetles and flies holds out.

He was everywhere welcomed with the highest honor and enthusiasm, and on one occasion was carried to his lodgings by the crowd, who kissed his hands and knees. In answer to fiomo ladies who begged him for a lock of his hair he said, with a smile, pointing to his bald pate: "I regret that I am so poor in that respect." But ho could not content them till ho had divided his cloak among 1 them. The very best coffee if your Grocer gives you OUR Superior Java and Per PoiiiiU, "Cucuta," Per POII iid, "Amber," Ibs.
