ONE FOR INAUGURATION ——— Mrs. McKinley has had a very elaborate trosseau made for the early part of her Washington residence. For wear to the Capitol when the President takes the oath of office she has selected a dark blue vel- vet, which is known as royal blue. It is lined with pale blue brocaded silk, finished with several little ruffles. Tie skirt is full and perfectly plain and touches che toor in the back. The bodice is of velvet, made over a full white satin front, embroidered in crosswise bands in two shades of blue, pale violet and blue pyotts. These bands are an inch in width and two inches be- tween, and the effect is almost oriental. The shape of the bodice is peculiar. ‘The velvet is cut out form points over the bust, and a second two inches below the waist line, and is sharply slashed up under the arm where the embroidered satin can show. In the back is also a wide box plait, brought -sharply into the waist ‘lire and piaited full out over the back of the skir: about two inches in depth. This is lined with white embroidered satin to match the front. The collar is of velvet, with the idea of the full box plait, standing high in the back d lined with the white embroidered satin. e sleeves are perfectly plain, with a puff at the top. With this costume Mrs. McKinley has a bonnet of blue velvet and a crown of white het, embroidercd in gold.

On the bodice point lace follows this plait, being fastened with two small cut steel buckles at the bottom of the waist and back. On the shoulder the lace is drawn through similar buckles. Again in front the same effect in buckles is shown, and at the bottom of the waist in front is a large cut steel buckle. From zis the lace falls in fan-shaped pieces to the skirt.

Piscine Psychological Researches of a German Professor. From the Lancet. Professor Ludwig Edinger of Frankfort- on-the-Main 1s collecting information on this point and writes to us as follows: “Have fish a memory? A request for in- formation. There is a general opinion that fish have some sort of memory; that they can recognize people, know how to find or avoid places where they have made for- merly some experiences, that fish which have once escaped the rod know the bait, &c. It is highly desirable that all experi- ence of this kind should be collected in the interest of comparative psychology. The reason is that till now we believed the function of memory to depend on the ac- tion of the brain cortex. All experience in man and in the higher animals ‘has led to that conclusion. During the last years it has been proved that fish have no brain ccrtex at all. They are the only existing vertebrates without a brain cortex. Now if we could prove beyond the possibility of doubt that fish really have a memory, that they gain experience and can make use of it, then we shall have io sive up the till row general opinion that memory has its seat in the brain cortex. Therefore it is extremely important to have an entirely new set of experiences.’ Professor Edin- wer then asis all angiers and patacviists to communicate to him any experiences they may have had, requesting them par- ticularly to take nothing for granted, as the smallest observation may prove of the greatest importance. Here, then, is a splendid chance for anglers to tell their pet tales and to throw light on this interesting question, Many incidents which commonly occur to anglers would decidedly go against the theory that fish have memories. Thus, a fish which has had a fly broken in his mcuth will often immediately take an- otrer, and on being captured the broken one may be found still sticking in his mouth, and then it is well known to fisher- men that a pike which escapes while it is being played will often again ferociously seize the bait if it be at once temptingly offered him. Such well-known facts as these do not at first sight point to any highly developed powers of reasoning in the fish, but before drawing any conclu- sions from them, another factor—that of the fish possibly looks upon {t slight inconvenience which in no hinder him from continuing his meal. fish's brain is a very small mass com: with the weight of the body, and as wi and from j their fell are Jealous eir reputations for sound judgu having watched the splendid results from Paine's y compound In ther own families, and know ing 3 y the Invigorating effect that person from this great nerve md thankfully recommend ers for the publle good they may do "use of Paine’s celery convinced me that it tores the nervous arrying 2 of brain and wed parts, and is thus Hd the body of sleep ralgia and dyspepsia. small in comparison to the spinal cord.
