The new King of Portugal is an inordinate cigarette smoker. The exact post of C.P. Hunting- ton's princely son in law was $2,- 000,000. Lord Wolseley'e only warlike ex- ploits at present are connoted with monthly magazines. John G. Whittier says he expecte to live to the age of 100 years, though he is not anxious to do so.

He receives from $200 to $800 a lecture. Queen Louise of Denmark lately celebrated her 72nd birthday at Fredensborg, surrounded by her children and grandchildren, The Comets de Paris, father of the new Queens of Portugal, being an exile, was unable to attend the funeral of the late King of Por. togal. Prince Hatzfeldt is a blonde of medium height, of a square and eymmetrical figure. His hair parts in the center and rolls back in the German way. Mies Helen Gladstone is vice• principal of Newnham College, Own - bridge, and resembles her famous father more than does any other of his children.

The Russian emperor as ho grows older becomes in appearance more and more a typical Coseock, colossal in figure, entirely bald, fiat -nosed and enormously mustached and bearded. Maxwell Sommerville, of Phila- delphia, has just purchased a bean• tiful antique oamoo of Juptier YEgicchue, preserved from the first century. It is said to have oost more than 550,000.

The next time you think you have done with a lemon just dip it in salt and rub your copper kettle or stew. pan with it. You will be surprised to find what a brilliant surface you will obtain if you rub the article in- stantly with a dry soft cloth. You can polish all braes works by the same means, every stain disappear- ing as if by magic. A moldy lemon put into a dirty sauce -pan half -full of water and boiled for half -an -hour cleanses the utensil amazingly, and removes any oder,, such as fish or onions. Try it. Many of the huts which have been sent to the South African gold -fields, and other pleas where portability is important, are made of wire -wove waterproof sheets, The sheets are less thau half the weight of twenty• fourguago corrugated iron, for which they are mainly intended as a sub- etituto, and, being composed of stout papier-maohe, with fine steel wire foundations. they are excellent non- condaotors of heat and cold. The weight of a settler's hut, 14 by 10 feet, is time brongbt down to little over half a ton. The latest invention to do away with noise is the manufacture of paper doors, which elate noiselessly after Bridget and the north-west winds.

Oxidized silver jewelry is very much worn. Solid fast -black hose. with fancy toes and heel,'are favorites. Spear points are displacing stitching and embroidery in men's gloves. Riding crop, cane and umbrella handles are now selling best in sil- ver finishes. The puff scarf, particularly the Malvern shape, is sure to be much of a success this season., Links continue to grow in favor, and jewelers are exerting them- selves in new ideas and finiehes.

Full-dress vests • lire of black, ermine.and white Billie t', White neckwear pl'otli¢e�s ton -,bo, fashionable throughout' life seaon. The standing collar, turnover fronts, with space, is the correct style. Large English puff scarfs, in light weight silks, are in active de - mend. Underwear is the only article of attire in which stripes are not prime favorites. Silk vest chains in, white, white and black, brown and brown and white are among the novelties. In • printed linen handkerchiefs small neat spots have replaced the heavy actor effects so plentiful last season. The new four-in-hands will beat the record in size. Twq and a half and three inches are the correct proportion'', with the latter inthe lead. Pearl colored gloves with self backstitching of medium width, continue in popular favor as 'the correct headwear for evening dross.
