CAPTAIN WATKINS AND TDK
PARIS.
In an editorial in tlm current number
of lliiriior'H Weokly, an excellent point
is raised against Iho eBtoin now in
voiuo in navigating ocean vessels as
recently disclosed by tho investigation
concerning tlio grounding of tho Paris.
Captain WatkinB apparently mado hin
calculations nlono, and it was not con
sidered necessary that calculations ho
made- ly ai.othor olllcer for tho suko of
comparison. Had thiB boon dotio the
accident could never huvo happom d
exeont by an extraordinary coincide!) e
"Tho fact that Captain WutkinV
enruor iB over," HajB the Weekly, "vull
of course make other captainB nmu
vilignn', but dopondonoo upon ono iiiind
in this port of thing is absolutely iinen'i
No man can tell when his mental em r
ghip, iiMHlly keen though tho may be,
aie going to stop uoiking for a moineni;
and that moment may bo the most
important in that mind's history."
A N 12 W COLLAR.
The lamentation which from time o
time has gone up, that the throats of
women were being ruiiio I by iho erg1',
heavy ribbon collars which havo been
worn so much for tho past year or tw .
has at last stirred up somo Fren h
modiste to invent a substitute coll r
which is equally high but much cool -r
and more comrortablo. In tho curie t
number of Hurpi r's lt.rar the follow. iv
description is given of the now inven
tion: "It consist:) in htving tho coll r
uulined, doing away entirely with tlio
still" crinoline and canvas that havo
formed tho principal part of most nt cl
collura and the collars of ordinary
gowns as well. They are still high- i
fact, theao collars havo tho long pom's
behind the ears, are trimmed around
thoedgo with a dainty mill ) of nnrr .v
lace, and are made of tucked or plaid d
mouFseline do soie, chilTon or l.c .
They havo absolutely no lining wha
ever in most cases, although o:c
Bioually a vory thin lawn lining in
inserted for the Hike of neatness, as of
coureo tho lining cm o.isily bo tiUcn
out, wushed, and reduced. The eel'ur
is kopt in thupo by short wbalebon -.
TIiobo are put up to tho edge of iV
points, of which there is ono on oit'ier
sido at tho back of tho nojk, but nun
in fro.it.''

Tho nll-coniuiTing bicycle has in
vaded Japan, and it Is now a familiar
sight in the land of the jlnilkisai. The
Europeans take to It kindly, and th
llttlo brown uion and women are equal
ly enthusiastic. The government has
equipped many of its postmen with
roadsters, especially those who iMivr
mail in the suburbs or in the country
districts. In each brigade a bicycle
corps has been formed who are dally
trilled in about the same style as sim
ilar organizations in the armies of Eu
rope. The Japanese people themselves
still regard the wheel as a great curi
osity, but are beginning to both master
it and nrinufncture it. Some of tlio
Japanese women have adopted a queer
bicycle ostunie that is a combination
of bloomers with the native drivs. It
is neither Japanese nor European.
Combined with the upper part of the
kamona costume the Japanese clotho
their nether limbs In what are neither
knickerbockers, trousers, zouaves nor
bloomers. The ludicrous effect :3
heightened by the girl having the na
tional habit of turning tho toes In, de
veloped to its largest extent. AH that
you see when she passes ,ou is a pair
of round and pretty heels wabbling in
an uncertain manner, and a little body
((died up that 'liaUes you think of a
gay little inuul ev on tho top of a po'.o.

Some men are born lucky, and ox
I'ollcemau Thomas JaiiRM Macfaiiane
Is one of them, says the London Dally
News. Maefarlane has just retired
from the metropolitan police force after
three years' service, with a "good con
duct" certificate, and he leaves the
force because of the acquisition of
riches by his marriage with an Irish
lady residing in Llndengardens, Chln
wlck. She Is, according to the Rich
mond and Twickenham Times, a lady
belonging to a wealthy and historic
Irish family, claiming on the maternal
side descent from the ancient Irish
race of the O'Neills, tho O'Hagens and
the O' Donovans, the first of which
claim in early days an unbroken line
of kings in Ireland for somo hundreds
of yuan. She is said to possess Im
portant estates in Irelnnd, which she
had made over to her husband, so that
the ox-Chiswick policeman has now
become an Irish landlord. The story
of the Introduction and courtship as de
scribed by the local nowspap"r is inter
esting. It stated that Police Constable
Maefarlane first attracted the attention
.if his future wife by the manner in
which he acquitted himself In stopping
. runaway horse in tlio high ro.id, Chls
wlck. A casual acquaintance soon
Mining into fast friendship. The lady
herself admits it was a case of love at
first sight. Hut sis soon as her friends
became aware that a policeman was
paying his addresses to her they tried
by all means within their power to stop
the acquaintance and even went to the
length of reporting Maefarlane to the
commissioner. The policeman, how
ever, was not to be denied and the op
position, as in all true love affairs, de
feated its object and brought the parties
closer together, with the result of an
early marriage. It must indeed have
been a pleasant experience for Maefar
lane, when out on a long tour of duty,
as well as a source of amusement and
profit to the Chiswick cabmen, to be
followed on his boat, as it is said he
was, by his sweetheart In a hansom
laden with refreshments: or, if by
chance tdic felt indisposed, the servant
would, it is further staled, he hcnt on
a similar errand. Hoth have now left
Chiswick and intend, it is believed, to
lead a retired life in the west of Kng
laud. Mrs. Maefarlane, prior to her
marriage, was Miss Kathleen Uadliam
Thornhill, and was born at Ca?t;e),ev n,
near Mallow, County Cork, which for
generations was the seat of the Thorn
hill family in the south of Ireland. She

is highly accomplished and has a
graceful figure and handsome features.
What is, as some will think, more to
tho purpose, she has inherited a con
siderable fortune. Up to a few years
ago she was a well known figure in
Dublin society, never minding a state
ball or concert. The Hadham-Thorn-hllls
are a well known County Cork
family.
