A band of breed green ribboo, tying in a huge bow in front, formed a heading to the flounce. The bodice had a deep cape of lace, and bretelles of ribbon were passed over the eleoulders and knotted a bow at the back, the ends reaching to the ground. More voycent is a little French frock of poplin in a pinkish shade of helio- trope, the skirt diversified by three rows of white /lathe ribbon placed at wide intezvals apart. Each row is edged with a. tiny pleated flounce of chartreuse green ribbon. Mho thorn tight -fitting bodice of pleated poplin terminates in tabs. and is secured at the waist with ribbon.

ART OP SHOULDER OUTLINING. The empire mantles prepared for spring are largely composed • of lace, especially about the innate and sleeveo. They are graceful on tall and weil-formed women, but usually have the effect of making their wearers look older. Too inucth muffling up of the shoulders always has this effect. The Princess of Wales owes some of her won- derful juvenility of appearance to her in- variable 'custom of having the pretty out- line Of ber shoulders well defined. No one mood sacrifice this to fashion at protean for though full capes and collars are very much worn, it quite impossible to dress very /marbly without too much of them, if any. 1;301,20 al the new mantles are made without any nleov.es, provision being thus made for the very voluminous sleeves of the dreier beneath.

It was a eittle startling when shoulder etrape were bearded and the bodice came off, revealing the shoulder un- covered entirely.

From this point the sleeve elopes to the elbow end of it, where it entirely covers the under arm, and is a band over the top of the arm. Here is a flare of gauze that stands out like a butterfly's wing. For the edge of the bodice? Oh, it is just a sorb of band, and the skirt—an accordion pleating of fine orepe—hangs straighb, outlining the hips as it falls. The gown is startling.

A London cable says: The War Depart- ment has loaned instructions to have the works in connection with the fortifications at Chathean proceeded with at once, and advanced as wear completion as possible during the present year. The chain of forts which for HOMO years past have been under construction in the vioinity of the Medway are intended for the defenceof the dockyard and naval arsenal and the military depots at Chatham, and also of the approaches to London. The expenditure has already reached a total of many thousands of pounds, and it is estimated tbat a further outlay of between £20,000 and £80,000 will be necessery before the works are complete. 01 this sum, it is expected that .C14,030 will be expended during the ensuing year—£9 000 on the eastern defences and £5,000 on Darland Fort. In both of theoe cases there has been a large increase in the amount of the origival estimates. It was anticipated that the works in connection with the eastern de - 'fences would cost £96,500, but owing to the substitution of civil for oonviot labor, that sum has been raised to Z116,600. The origi- nal estimate for the contruction of Darland Fort was also found insufficient, and the estimate had to be incireased from Al2,000 to £16,000 ; but up to the present time the actual expenditure on this particular fort has been ..only about £2000. When ibe system of fortification is complete Chatham will be well-nigh invulnerable both by land and water The Art or ShoppIng. The art of shopping, as it is known in this country, is purely an Anglo-Saxon institution. In many of the countries of Southern Europe it is considered an in- delicacy for a WOInnli buyer to appear in the publics marts, unless she is of the menial order, which is restrained by no social etiquette. Thus the joys of shop- ping, such as the American WOMail knows, are totally forbidden to her Spanish equal, and in that land of stately etiquette and formality, shopping is done by the maid alone, who tumidly make a pretty penny from her commission in addition to her wages. The word shopping is to be distinguished from marketing, or the purchase of supplies for the family table. One may be an ex- perb shopper, have a good knowledge of cloths and other fabrics, and yeb be totally ignorent of the supplies of the market. In order to be an intelligent shopper, one must have some Wee of the manufacture of the articles to be purchased, and of the differ- ent grades made, their advantages and dis- • advantages for the puzposes needed. 18 18 almost impossible for the average woman, with all her family cares and social duties, to be fully acquainted with all these mat- ters. Wherefore the only rule is to deal with a merchant whose name and reputa- tion are guarantees of trustworthiness. — Good Housekeeping.

THE GRAND TRUN4. Bir Henry. Tyler :Re-Eleoted President of the Road, PROSPBOTS OP THfl HianWAY DISMISS -SD, A London °table fele At the long late Grand Trunk meeting to -day Sir Henry Tyler said cruel weather and the persistent decrease of rates enede the re ord most depressing, though, thanks to the eoelterie efforts of the Canadian offioers, the Grand Trunk had clone better than other Ameri- can roads. He announced thab ,the Cane- dien Government hied agreed to increese the Grand Trunkhc mail eubeidy. The present lowness of rates could net cion tinue, and, seeing no further economies poseible in the working of the road, future prospects depended on a return to better rates, which Manager Seaegeanb now ex- pected. Mr. Jeffreye, a former opponent of the Board, announced that his vial/ to Canada bad led him strongly to support Sir Henry Tyler. The Grand Trunk's troubles were due to the hedvy Government subsidies to opposing parallel lines. Men3re. Baker, Girdlestone and House- hold demanded that the debenture debt be no further increased. Mr. Household, auditor, declared that on the present prospecb the company would be bankrupt in two years. The chairman announced that communi- cations are progressing with a large Amerie can company, which desired to purchase portion of the Grand Trunk line. The report was adopted, and Sir Henry Tyler waft re-elected president by a large majority. The other directors and auditors were then elected. The Grand Trunk Aob was formally ap- proved. A motion for the election of Mr. House- hold to the Board was withdrawn, being , ANOTHER REPORT. Lornmer, April 24.—The half -yearly meet- ing of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada was held to -day at 2 p. m. at the Cannon Street Hotel. There was not much interest manifested in the meeting, for the report, already issued and cabled apparently un - pressed the stookholders with the idea that there was nothing to be done except antici- pate an increase in the passenger traffic to the World's Pair. Sir Henry Tyler, the President of the company, took the chair. He began his statement by remarking that the past year's reoord had been most depressing. He could not, however, attribute theblame for the falling off in the receipts of the Grand Trunk to the officials 18 charge of the management. Their efforts had been heroic in the way of economy. • To such a fine point were the expenses reduced that no further economy, consistent with the proper running of the road, could be in- dulged in. The only hope in the situation, he continued, was to increase the freight sates. The other speakers' of whom there were not many, urged thatthe increase in freight rates be pub in force forthwith. • One speaker declered that either the Canadian traders must be " squeezed " or the company would become bankrupt. For the consummation of this dire prophecy he set a time limit, naming ib at two years. On the present outlook, the speaker said, this prediction would surely come true. The adoption of the report was then voted on and carried practically unanimously. There was some opposition when the mat- ter of Sir Henry Tyler's re-election as Pre- sident came up for votingupon. His sup- porters, however, were by far and away in the majority, the vote revealing but fifteen opponents. • There was notrauch enthusiasm exhibited ab the result of the poll, but the impres- sion seemed to be that Sir Henry Tyler was doing everything possible in the interests of the shareholders, and deserved re-election. All the old board of direotors and the audi- tors were re-elected, and the meeting die - parried. - ON TAL FOR tki fdAYS.

Tile Gateway to the Capital of Englancre Oldest] Colony. THE ST. ,TOHN NARROWS. LTHOUGH il°m- tperatively little is known of New- foundland by the outside world, two thing(' be- longing to it have a world-wide 1 celebrity — New- foundland dogs ' toed the Narrows no of Sb. John's bar - fir. bor. The forraer aretoowell known to require enydescription but perhaps it may nob be uninteresting to spend a little time in noting a few point g of the latter. No one who has ever seen 0 The Narrows" oan ever forget them, and as St. John's is a mit of call for the ocean steamers be- tween England and America, they have been seen by many. In no other part of the world is there a work of naturelikethis. When we call to mind the vast number of shipwrecks that occur off the Newfound- land coast and on the "Bank's," we realize how important it is that there should be somewhere in this rooky and inhospitable shore a refuge for the innumerable vessels which ply these waters.- Such is found in St. John's harbor, one of the safest in the world. Whop the wildest storms areraging outside, and the billows are ditching them- selves in fury againet the adamantine rooks, scarce a ripple disturbs the placid waters of the harbor, for it is securely guarded frotn the stormy Atlantic by gigantic rooky hills rising perpendicularly from the water. Nature has left/ only one narrow inlet for vessels to pass through, so quite appro- priately and naturally this is mailed "The Narrows" To 118 it was a surprise, not hexing known anything of it before we were called up on the deck of the boat to see it as we were passing through. The first impression was one of awe at its grandeur and sublimity, its strength and massive - nein, as we beheld it in the driving rain storm of an autumn day. After thab we beheld it in every variety of tho sunshine and etortn, moonlight • and starlight, in every season of the year, and never wearied of it ; when sailing away, out on the billowy Atlantic, were still to be seen those trim cliffs towering up like giants, as if the guardians of the land. The more important cliff is on the right going in ; let us ascend lb and find what we can see, for it is !accessible by a long and circuitous road, which requires plenty ' of strength • i and endurance. One s repaid for the necessity of stopping to rest by the view with which one is rewarded by looking back, and if it is at the time of sunset, as when we first saw it, one is particularly .fortunate. On the horizon, bounding the view, lie the rooky hills for which New- foundland is proverbial; these are pro- tected against the sky in all possible shapes, jagged and broken, looking asif some fierce battle had been fought, m which they had been wonted before they took their present form. Seen in the distance, they seem to possess a purple -tinted mist peculiar to themselves, for no foliage but stunted shrubs protect their sides from the stormy blade which sweep them. From there our gaze falls on the fez - spreading -valley below, and to those who think Newfoundland is all barren rock thie would be a pleasant surprise. A fairer sight one need not wish to see than the suburbe of St John's, with its undulating plains, containing lakes and ponds, trees and streams, and well cultivated • farms, dotted over with pretty summer cottages of the town people, being conveniently near the city and yet far enough away. Then the city itself looks fair and comely, situated on the side of the hill, with its handeoree public buildings showing to ad vantage. Among these ate two magnifi- cent cathedrals, one of them being conaid- ered the finest specimen of Gothio architec- ture in America. In studying the history of BritishAmerica we have wondered, perhaps, why New- foundland never changed hands, but re- mained undisturbed "England's Oldest Colony," particularly as the fisheries were participated in by several different nations. To one standing on Signal Hill this question is answered—No foe could be rash enough to attempt an entrance here. They could expect nothing but certain dentruction. • Looking down the dizzy heights, the ves- sels below seem but toy boats and the men are hardly perceptible. We can see the places in the rocks where chains can be placed and stretched menthe "Narrows," thus effectually barring out all intruders. Standing behind, the strong stone forts, the soldiers could pour down volleys of shot, while none could ever reach them. The forb of Valeria in Paris was the only one that the Germans could not take dur- ing the Franco-Prussian war, and ib is nob half as high as Signal Hill. We learned this from a person who has stood on both forts. On Good Friday this is the great resorb of the people of St. John's, for then the first fishing vessels tonally go out, and a whole fleet of icebergs are to be seen. It is refresh- ing to see the water once more in motion, released at length from its icy fetters and dashing the white foam high in the air. Here and there on the horizon white sails are seen, as well as on the ocean below ue. Although there are no soldiers stationed there now, there were once, the stone barracks and hospitals still stand on the summit, but the central figure is the Block House, from which all steamers are sig- nalled. On mail days this is anxiously watched, and all hell with delight the rising flag, which tells them the long looked -for letters will soon be. received. From here, too, the noonday gun is fired. The lighthouse tands on the other cliff, about half way up its summit, and there, too, stands a fort, just as good as vrhen first built so long ago. This le a favorite resort in summer for those who enjoy climbing the rock and watching the nuttier. mu; fishing vessels as far out on the horizon ree the hye can reach. It is interesting to visit a fialaing 'village near the foob of these bills and watch the men and women and children also (latching and drying fish. They look as contented and happy as 18 is possible for people to look, and they really love their work, for they have never known anything else. The ocean is their friend,because from ite bosom they gain their daily food.

When choosing poultry select birds that are plump and broad across the breast chow- ing some fat in the back, with white, fine- grained skin, smooth legs and toes that may easily be broken when bent back, writes Mary Lee White in an article on the "Selection of Meat and Poultry" in the April Lazes' Hone Journa?. The absence ofthese Signs indicates that the fowls are old. Poultry that is drypioked is con- sidered the best; poultry that has been scalded before being picked may be recog- nized by the skin, which will look smooth and he tightly drawn over the flesh. When purchasing spring chickens to broil, select those with the yellow legs and firm white skin, those with dark legs are usually of an inferior quality. If, as sometimes happens, you are offered by your marketman birds that have had their feet chopped from the legs, look aakaiace at the pnoposid. This means usually, though not invariably, that the poultry while in storage bave come into temporary possession of cats or rats, and the claws have been the parts to be at- tacked.

Ingersoll thus unbosomed himself to a reporter about Niagara Falls : "There is nothing attractive to me in them. They are really dangerous. There is so much noise ; so much tumult. It is simply a mighty force of nature—one of those tremendous powers that is to be leered for its danger. 'What I like in nature is a cultivated field, where men oan work in the free open air, where there is quiet and repose. Give me • the calm, cultivated land of waving grain, of flowers, of happiness."
