Veils are now used more to protect the hair and collar from dust than to cover the face and ayes. They are warm affairs when they are worn over the | whole face.

A white net veil o a light gray grenadine serve a better purpose on boats or trains. FOOD ON THE JOURNEY. The traveler needs acids and nerve-stimulants much more than quantities of heavy food; and there is no sense in eating a heavy meal witha | digestion all shaken and demoralized with jar- ring and taticue. A fiask of claret and biscuits, | the appetizing form known as “fruit” biscuits, | is better than “squarer” me: If a lurch basket n, a bottle of cold tea, with milk | and sugar, or coffee ditto, provided that the cot- fee is good, will be found most refreshing. Ege | biscuits are dry affairs, but they are most nourishing and with some kind of frult, such as can be procured on most! | trains, you can make a light meal, which Js the desideratum. If only thetime would come when the train-boys would bring in fresh | radishes and crisp lettuce. Instead of withered oranges and wilted apples, they could make their fortunes by selling such things; and the small fruits in paper boxes, strawberries and raspberries, with Georgia peaches at this time | ought to refresh the traveler instead of the customary banana. When the train boy is a hundred years old perhaps he will learn these | things. Also egg sandwiches, with good but- ter and bread, would be all seized upon by the passengers, whoeyill not venture on hard ham or doubtful corn beef. Novody wants to eat | salt meats on a journey, though there Is a new | fushion of eating a lemon with salt instead of sugar that is much enjoyed by its devotees. In | suffering from train nausea, tor some people are | as “‘sea-eick” on a long railway ride as ever at sea, if the conductor can furnish a glass of hot, water, scalding hot, to drink, this is better | than smelling salta. As arelief from the grime of trayel and to | make a pleasant freshness, a bottle of cologne or lavender water, carried in the traveling bag with a large pocket handkerchief for a towel, to wash the face and neck, is comfortable. A packet of saleratus {s invaluable on a journey, to carsy for bathing tired feet after a long tramp | or along ride. The feet grow as fatigued by their long inactivity and constrained position in | @ railway car as by much walking. It is anerve | fatigue; but a sprinkle of salaratus in the bath- ing water will remove this. A bottle of aro- matic hartshorn serves a double and treble pyg- | pose. It Is good to relteve the skin from | effects of perspiration, added to the water in the washbowl; It is good for upset nerves, oppres- sion and headache from indlgestion or fatigue. | It is aiso good to apply to bites, whether | splder, mosquito or other nameless insects, | though,* instead of ammonia, you may jcarry a new mixture of carbolic acid and rose water. This any druggist can put up, and the proportions for it are not given here because the strength of carbollc acid differs In different preparations of {t. This mixture is also good inthe bathing water. A tiny pack of solitaire cards take up next to no room In a traveling bag, and is @ good resource against the tedium of a long ride. ‘The traveller who reads, and is always reading, gees nothing ofthe country orthe people, and adds to the strain on the eve-nerves, which dust and long jarring are apt to cause.’ Youcannot talk much | in the cars. or will not if you are wise; for the | pitch of voice required to overcome the rattle and noise cannot be kept up without an effort.

A lap-cover | of linen, which can be folded squarely Into | small compass, when you leave the train, an- swers every purpose of protecting the dress, if drawn up around the waist. The veil, crossed behind and knotted loosely around the throat, should keep the collar fresh; but even better than a stiff linen collar is a silk handkerchief, white or any color that will wash. It can be rinsed out each night on a journey, if you stop. or whenever it becomes soiled with the dust and moisture of the skin, and all gritty dust can be shaken out of it, keeping it always fresh. FOR NIGHT JOURNEYS. If part of long journeys Is to be taken in a sleeping car in warm weather, it is a comfort to carry a short cambric sacque and a pair of slip- pers, which will leave the occupant of the “made up” compartinent ready dressed for any accident or emergency, and yet sufficiently disrobed for comfortable sleep. In daylight traveling some ladies who are un- provided with the soft caps above mentioned remove their bonnets and tie red or blue silk handkerchiefs round their heads like a bandana turban. Red and blue kerchlefs make a pictu- reeque addition to the traveling dress, anda senstble elderly lady caities a black lace-like nubia of ice wool in her bag for such use, instead of wearing constantly a stiff straw bonnet. The best overall cloak is of light mohair, which does not soil like the cocler pongee. There is a con- venient round handbag of waterproof cloth which packs like a little valise, or folds up like a pocket handkerchief, in which you can stow most of these traveling conveniences. The latest turn of the crank in the famous Myra Clark Gaines case wa3 given in New Orleans Monday night by Judge Billings, of the United States‘court, in the case of G. T. Raoul against Myra Clark Gaines. Judgment 1s ren- dered for the plaintiff in $10,000, and the assets, consisting of real estate ia the jurisdiction of the court, !s, ordered inventoried, advertised, and sold to pay this judgment. Another judg- ment for nearly the same amount Is rendered in tavor of tne heirs of the late Commodore Randolph. | Frou THE ART OF SWIMMING. | Mow a Profesor Teaches Youngsters tu Strike Out Like Frogs. the Phitalelphia Press. “It has often struck me as singular,” said Instructor Dinsmore, of the natatorium, “that the majority of people whe bezin to take swim- ming lessons imagine that they will never be able to learn. men and boy As-a rule. they have little faith | in the instructor, and seem to be a little suspi- cious of his good intentions. contrary, are confi They follow instruc- tious closely, without question, and learn quickly.

Ladies, on the The averaze boy and youth will insist upon re- | aining in the water longer than is beneficial— very few of them realize that ten minutes in the water is ia the majority of cases a far better time to produce a vigorous reaction than a half hour. On a warm d much tempted to rew for him. “What causes this lack of confidence in so Many persons?” was asked. “It is rather difficult to explain,” was the reply. “You can take a dozen boys and set them to studying languages or mathematics, or in learning a new physical exercise—such as row- ing. The chances are ten to one that every boy will feel that he can learn more quickly and perfectly than every other boy. It is different when It comes to swimmi: Almost every pupil will exclaim: ‘I know there is no use try- ing, because I can never learn, if I tried a hun- dred years.’ ” “Well, how many years does it require?” “Years!” exclaimed Mr. Dinsmore, in aston- ishment, “‘why it doesn’t take even months or weeks. From three to six lessons will make the most timid person confident. This is the way we teach,” and, leading the way to the tank, the instructor explained how the motion with the hands and feet were first taught in an ant om. ‘The pupil is placed in an apna- ratus,” sald he, “which supports his body and gives his arms and legs a fre@ swing. Then a teacher counts slowly, one, two. three, until the learner can kick out like a freg at regular intervals, Atter that he 1s placed in the tank, and his head kept above water with a band under the arms, held in_ place by a rope at- tached to the ceiling. When the motion has been acquired the band Is taken off, and the first thing the pupil does is to gulp in a mouth- ful of water and bob under the surface. A long pole 1s ready in tie teacher's hands, and the struggling, sputtering youth grabs the end of it, and nearly coughs his lungs up. That is all overcome In a few more lessons, and the learner 1s surprised to find that he can easily swim from one end of the tank to the other. “It is a little surprising,” continued the in- structor, ‘to see how many men there are over forty years of age who can't ewim any more than an oyster. We had one pupil here a few years ago who was close on to seventy. He was slightly feeble, bald as a watermelon, and had the gout. Well, sir, that old chap went to work with awill, and learned how toswim inside oftwo weeks. The only things that bothered him were the flies. The little pests would skate all over his head while he was in the water, and he would forget where he was and make a frantic grab. Of course his nose would go under, and he'd be half strangled. It used to tickle the boys immensely, and as soon as the old gentleman reappeared on the surface he was received with a loud cheer. “Several ladies have become such excellent swimmers that they were instrumental in saving human life. At Atlantic City, two seasons ago, a very handsome girl—the daughter of a proml- nent railroad man—swam out beyond the break- ersand rescued a young man who was golng down for the last time. Did it result In a mar- riage? No, sir; the young fellow was very gzatetul, and, I believe, did make some sort of @ proposal, but, as he was clerking-in a notion store at $8 a week, was freckled, had no front teeth and wore plaid clothes, he didn’t make out very well. That identical young lady is now en- gaged to marry a wealthy New York banker. He fell in love with her while she was splashing around in the ecean at Cape May. There was one advantage, at least, of knowing how to swim. It caught a husband.” ee Martin Luther, » Nineteenth Century, Luther was no doubt always a man of power- fuland unguarded impulse. His words were like living things, and went straight to their maxk. He did not weigh them like a more cau- tious nature, and think of all their effect. But this Is only to say that he was Luther, and not another. In order to Judge him rightly we have to take him not merely in one mood, but in many moods. It 1s not a subtle criticism, how- ever it may seem to beso, to look at his’ large nature now on this side and now on that—to contrast his tenderness with his coarseness, or his (alleged) antinomlanism with the deep breathings of his plety—his materialism with his holiness. No doubt there were these con- trasts in him. But are they not more or leas in all men, and especially men of the massive bulld of Luther? What !s remarkable in him 1s not the presence of such contrasts, but the frank- ness with which he gave expression to them. He was real and simple to the core. He had a marvelous power of utterance, and like many men who have this irrepressible fluency by word or pen, his utter- ance for the moment not only came from his heart, but seemed to himeelf the whole utterence of hig heart—alltruth for the time. But his heart was larger than he thought and his mind had other depths than he poured forth at separate moment® And we only rightly understand him not inthis mood or that. but when we take him as a whole, and recog- nize that itis one living being whois thus moved 80 diversely, and that we have to read into the one Luther all these cords of feeling. The schisms, In short, that we recognize in him are in his words more than in himself. He 1s not now on the side of nature and now on the side of grace and then of law; but nature and grace. and law all meet In his massive humanity, as he speaks now with the tongue of the one and then of the other—so perfectly honest in euch mood of thought that he is unconscious, like a child, of inconsistencies of language. He is, in fact, from first to last something of a child in unconscious Impulse, in freedom of talk, and In the quick resentful hastiness with which he deals his blows and emphasizes them without reflecting, as in the controversy with Erasmus: how they may fall and injure one truth while defending another. ——___§_ +. Autumnal! Tints in May. From the Hartford (Conn.) Times, June 6. One curious effect of the extraordinary frost that occurred last week, Thursday night and Friday morning,was to turn the leaves on many forest and other trees a kind of bronze and scarlet hue, much Ike October. On the morn- ing of the 20th of May the trees, in many places in Tolland and Windham connties, and in other parts of Connecticut, looked much as they gen- erally appear inthe’ first week of the second month ot autumn. _ Butternut trees, later than most others in coming into leaf, looked as If killed. Even the oaks turned red and bronze. Sumach bushes drooped a8 if killed. A variety of forest and other trees showed the October- like look to such an extent as to cause general remark, particularly on Saturday, the last day of May, when, after another cold night, the changes In the hues caused by the sun—some to a restored green, others to an intenser bronze— were more Conspicuous than ever. The effect did not last. The leaves that did not darken, curl up, and drop off, resumed their wonted ap- pearance. ———_-e-_____ Broken or Fractured? From Chambers' Journal. “Is the bone broken, or only fractured, doc- tor?” is an anxious question often asked apro- pos of an injured limb, Broken and fractured are synonymous terms in surgery, my dear madam—tt is always a lady who asks this—but I think I know what you mean. 4 fully devel- oped bone is rarely cracked—nearly always it snaps in two pleces—but the soft cartilaginous bones of children sometimes sustain what is called a ‘‘green-stick fracture,” a name which almost explains itseif, meaning that the bone is broken through part of its thickness, but not separated, as happens with the Lane bough of atree. Many people have a totally erroneous idea, when an arm or leg is_ badly bruised only, that it would be better if it were broken. “Right across the muscle, too!” implies that an injury has been recelved across the upper armin the region of the biceps, that being the only “muscle” which Is honored by general public recognition.

The two combine in an effect like heroic statuary, except that the poses are rapidl: changed by the beast’s spirited cavortings and the rider’s gracefully pliant adjustment of her- self to the requirements of her seat.

To those whe contemplate ‘making over” an old house, the famous advice to candidates for matrimony is supposed to be always pertinent, —‘‘don’t.” But asin the one case, in spite of this prohibltory counsel, the children of men still continue to marry and to be given in mar- riage, so in the other, notwithstanding much apparently disastrous experience, men persist in renovating, remodeling, rebullding, enlarging this as long as love of home exists, as long as tamilles increase in numbers and men improve their own worldly condition or tind the houses of their fathers inadequate to their own wants. It {s the commonest thing in the world to find that the making over of an old house has re- quired a greater outlay than would have been necessary to build anew outright, while there still remain in the renovated structure radical defects which could easily have been ayoided if the building had been new, and yet if this losing experience were well known to be the Tule rather than the exception, it is probable that men would still go on trying to improve their old houses by patches, amendments and compromises. There are various reasons for this apparent lack of wise management. Sentimental considerations, though often un- acknowledged, are undoubtedly strong. The love of home, however homely, is an Anglo- Saxon Instinct of such strength that it seems almost a sacrilege to destroy its visible temple, though it may be old-fashioned, inconvenient and unsuited to present needa. Moreover. it is not readily believed that it will really and truly cost quite as much to “make over” what is al- ready In existence as to begin at the beginning and produce a new structure from raw mate- rials. Dellberately and with malice aforethought, to pull a house down, fromturret to foundation, leaving not one stone upon another, seems so much moredestructive and wasteful than taking it down by degrees, replacing the removed por- tiong one at atime as the work goeson. Yet every builder knows that the inconvenience and loss that result from working in this way far more than offset the small amount of rough ma- terlal that may be saved. - Still another apparent motive éxists when it 1s desired to keep the house in the same old place. The occupants labor under the pleasing delusion that they can save rent and trouble of moving by beginning the work of renewal at one corner and working gradually toward the other extreme, somewhat as the plague crosses a continent or a cyclone moves across a western territory, the house being all the while habit- able without seriousannoyance. Experience 1s, perhaps, the most efficient teacher on this point. Those who have tried it will generally assent to the old estimate in geometrical pro- gression with another term added: Three house cleanings equal one moving, three movings one fire and three fires one remodeling. But there is another and a most worthy and honorable side to the question of making over an old house; not additions, shnply, they are always in order, some ofthe most charming houses inthe world having grown with the growth ofthe families occupying them, thelr added wings and stories indicating the increased numbers and strength ofthe household. But aside from alterations that are additions simply, a ‘amade over” house has often this advantage over a new one; it has-been lived in; its merits and defects, both of which exist in every house that ever was built, have been discovered by actual use and if the right changes are made in the right way It will fit its occupants after its conversion better than a new one. It has some- what the same superiority, to set forth great things by small, which a suit of clothes that is made to order’ and.“tried on” before comple- tion, has over a suit that is bought “ready made.” When a thorough remodeling is undertaken there are two courses at opposite extremes, one of which, especially aa regards the exterior, should always be pursued. Contrary to the common rule, there is danger rather than safety in the middle course. Either the style of the old, provided it ever had a style, should be re- ligiously maintained and reproduced in the addi- tions, no matter how antiquated it may be, or else the old should be treated with entire con- tempt, making no pretence, of preserving any part which 1s not In harmony with the new. As American architecture has unfortunately little that Ie worth saving for its own sake, with the Tare exceptions that may have historical value, the latter is more likely to be the most promis- ing route, especially when it will cost more to match” the detalls of the old work than to make new for the whole. —__—__~---—______ How to Treat Corpulency. From Hall's Journal of Health. Whatever we have written in reference to the means to be employed for reducing obesity has always contained a caution against carrying our remedies to extremes. The golden rule of “moderation in all things” applies with espe- cial force to this subject, since errors in method of accomplishing the desired result may involve the sacrifice of the patient. A strict adherence to the rules published by ‘Banting” are certain to reduce corpulency, and at the same time to impair, if not destroy. the health. It requiresa wonderful amount of patience to remain con- tented while watching the slow processes ot mild but safe remedies for the cure of obesity, knowing that there Is a shorter, even if more dangerous, path that mght be pursued. But if the sufferer from corputency is not satistied with slow resuits, he had better not attempt the treatment. Deprived of all technical terms and obscure theories, u super-abundance of fat is produced by eating more than ts required for the legitimate wants of the system, and particu- larly of sugar and starchy substances, as pota- toes and wheat bread. It has been proved— contrary to the general belief on this subject— that eating fat in moderation does not produce fat. Professor Ebstein of Goettingen, Germany, has given this subject a thorough sclentitic in- vestigation; and he claims that the treatment of corpulency’ by regulatite the diet hardly in- volves any great self-denial on the part of the patient. He allows a rather attractive bill of fare, with a variety of dishes, but ponte and forever excludes potatoes, and limits the quantity of bread. For breakfast he allows one cup of black tea, without milk or sugar; about two ounces of white or brown bread, and plenty of butter. Dinner—Soup (with bone marrow occasionally), five or six ounces of nieat, boiled or stewed. with fat gra especially fat meat, plenty of vegetables, cai bage, and, most of all. legumes (peas, beans). Beets, carrots and turnips are, on account of the sugar they contain. almost totally excluded; tatoes entirely. After dinner, a little fresh it, but without sugar. Supper—Tea, with- out si or milk; one egg or a little fat meat, or both; or some ham, with its fat; sausage, smoked or fresh fish, two ounces of white bread, with plenty of butter, and occasionally a little cheese and a little fresh fruit. A pertiet: ence in this plan fora few months, we are as- sured, will luce corpulency; but there must. be no going back to old habits, or the trouble will return. This bill of fare, or a similar one, must be maintained during life. The Skeleton of a Missing Youth Found While the Buffalo, N.
