One of the oddest accidents on record occurred at Pound Creek, New Jersey, some months ago. A train laden with holiday-makers was crossing the trestle bridge across the river, when a huge stud scow swept by the flood -tide smashed against the carriages. Every footboard was torn away and the windows smashed. The miracle is that the train was not upset altogether and thrown into the creek. As rt was, there was an ugly panic, and a number of people hurt in rushing for the doors .4 the ends of the cars. This may be the first instance on record of a train and boat collid- ing; but a collision which happened at Portsmouth a few years ago was in every way far more strange. A night attack by torpedo de- stroyers was in progress. A de- stroyer, with all lights out, was tearing along from the West, keep- ing as close to the shore as pos- sible to avoid the flare of the mov- ing search -lights, when suddenly the full blaze of a light fell right across her deck. Blinded by a glare, the steersman turned too soon. Instead of entering the har- bor mouth, the long, lean craft dashed at hill speed up the shelving brach, driving half her length out of water. RAN INTO AN ISLAND. A Riad runs along the beach, and a cyclist happened to be spinning along it at the very moment. The black bows suddenly shot across hie path, and his machine hit them so that he fell off. He is certainly the only cyclist in the world who ever collided with a vessel of His Majesty's Navy. Ships sotncti►nes collide with ice- bergs, but it does not fall to the lot of every vessel to run into a floating island. This is what hap- pened to the three thousand -ton tramp Vigo off the nloutli o ftho Orinoco. The area of the island le said to have been nearly half an acre, and the ship crashed into the very middle of it before she could be stopped. Fortunately, the only thing damaged was the island. Collisions with fish are less rare, but seine odd accidents of the kind are on record. The big Japanese cruiser Takachiho, when off Korea, in March, 1904, ran straight into an enormous whale. She was do- ing eighteen knots at the time, and 1 the shock wax so heavy that almost every man of the crew was knocked down. Tho unlucky whale was nearly cut in two.

Linen has given way before taf- feta in parasols. 01d fashioned posies deck some of the newest hats. Hats of largo proportion are still in the majority. The sunbonnet has a vogue at British watering places. All kinds of net are in high favor fat dancing gowns. Nearly every white linen dress shows a touch of blue. The Eton collar is in the ascen- dency for the warm weather. For general wear the green para- sol has eclipsed all others. Newest parasol handles are of maple, bamboo, and furzewood. Ball headed hair pins are thrust into nearly every coiffure. Checks and plaids will come again with the autumn materials. Nearly all of our new automobile models are double breasted. The Merry Widow hat has had a remarkably long vogue in Paris. French women of fashion no longer wear gloves at evening af- fairs. It is predicted that crepe de chino will soon come into high favor. The Empire tendency is shown in nearly all the waistline arrange- ments. Black 1'berty is more used for the draped girdle than any other material. The beloved jumper style is in danger of consignment to fashion's junk pile. A pastel pink straw bat is inter- woven with brown braid with ex- cellent effect. A clever little touch of black is to be seen on many hats and frocks. Javelle water, if carefully appli- ed, may be used to remove stains fi ern laces. Persian embroidery, outlined with scoutache, is an elegant and distinctive trimming. Handkerchiefs with a gray back- ground, decorated with white cin- bioideries, are much seen. Felt hats with moderate crowns and wide rolling brims are shown for wear at mountains and shore. Y 4* NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.
