Two Columbian guards patrol this gallery all day long, guarding the glass-covered cases, many of which are worth their weight in sold. Facing the visitor as he enters the gallery are three frames, one containing the photo- of the members of the Staten id tetic Society; another containing the stamped envelopes of the world, in which the Mulready envelopes of Great Britain, issued in 18@ (one addressed and canceled), are conspicuous. This frame ts six by eight feet and is exhibited by Mr. Henry L. Cal- man and Henry Collin. Mr. George Watson of Elizabeth, N. J., exhibits a frame of the Two from Japan, addrewed in tele quect two from Japan, queer characters and canceled. The Rarest Stamp. ‘The United Sates and confederate stamps are by far the most valuable and extensive in the collection. The finest and rarest stamp im the country was deemed too precious to come so far away from home, and so a photograph of it was sent framed to the fair. The subject of the photo is a genuine, original, entire envelope addressed and can- celed, containing in the upper right hand corner a five-cent New Haven red on light Diue paper. This wonderful envelope was discovered June id among somegputo- sraphic letters written by Benjamin’ Silli- man, professor at Yale College. The letters were purchased at a sale of autographs of | belonging to the estate of Dr. James H. ig the curator of the collec- United States.

C. The collec- tion was a large one and was attended by all the well known collectors and dealers. ‘Mr. Sterling, the happy possessor of the wonderful stamp, bought lot 1435, containing eight letters dated 182 to 1846. Tucked within the folds of one of the eight letters lay the long sought for New Haven stamp, the only one known to exist, on the original envel- ope. The lot cont this ‘valuable dis- covery was secured for ten cents. The envelope is in perfect condition with the flap and wax seal unbroken, and excites the wonder and admiration of New York col- lectors. Nothing Itke tt is known in the finest collections in either America or Europe. The stamp was postmarked in the wi post office and the word due is stamped on it, followed by the numeral 5. The address ‘on the envelope is Frank Markoe, jr. Washington city. The date of the letter insi New Haven, Conn., Oc- tober, 20; the New Haven postmark on the envelope Is dated October ‘Mr. H. E. Deats of Flemington, N. J., ex- hibits @ rare collection of “original” envel- opes. In his collection are several New Haven stamps cut out of the envelope, but none with the envelope entire. There are, however, some very rare and handsome specimens of the first stamped envelopes issued by our government, many of them containing, also, the postage stamps of the same issue. There ts in this collection of Mr. Deats’ a complete set of 1861, grilled, also fourteen of the three-cent "variety, The only fault to be found with the gal- lery exhibit is the lack of Information con- cerning these stamps. None of them are dated and there is no catalogue. This less- ens somewhat the interest to the visitor who {s not a philateltst, and who does not know the nationality and date of issue of every stamp tn the collectio ——_-e-__ ANIMALS ON SHIPBOARD. v. H. Ballows Crusade Aguinst Cruel ‘Treatment wy Foreign Companies. Mr. William Xosea Ballou, who for two years has conducted a crusade against the habit of foreign steamship companies of cruelly maiming antmals and then landing the animals at American wharves, has of the republic is unique. At this time every prominent and powerful family coined its own money, stamping the coins with the family crest, patron saint or other emblem and the family name. There are 126 of these interesting colns in the collection. They are classified alphabetically according to the family name. ‘The oldest plece of money in the coinage of Great Britain is @ gold coin of the time prior to the second Roman conquest be- fore the coming of Christ. The Scotland case contains the coins of that couatry issued before its annexation to Great Britain. Among these are two pieces struck by Charles I to pay the Earl of Stirling for Bis lands in America, which were ceded to France by Charles. In the cases following are coins of the German and Italian states, Italy, Russia, Poland, Finland and@ Modern Greece, to- gether with the other European sations, the more inte coins of which are placed in the case of “selections.” Hammered Silver Dollars. ‘The Mexican case contains some old Span- ish money, hammered dollars, which were fattened out of silver nuggets by hand, sil- ver dollars made by pouring the molten metal into molds, a great contrast to the coins of Maximilian or the present issue of the republic. It was in Mexico that the = mint was established in America in The most interesting money in the South American cases is the siege money of Chile, or silver coins struck in the camps to pay off the soldiers with. ‘The oriental nations show many interest- ing coins. From China ts shown what is said by Chinese scholars to be a coin of Emperor Thun, B.C. 264 Among other ‘queer samples of Chinese money are pieces of bronze and copper, shaped like keys, dag- gers and baggage checks, pleces like the letter N and V. Japan's colnage began with sheets of gold of oval shape, ranging in size from eight inches by three inches, valued at $7. to very tiny ones, valued at @ few cents. This Money was considered sacred and was not allowed to go outside of the country on Pain of death to him who took it away. Cop- Der was also cut in lke shapes and used as money. Japan reali many years ago the advantage of small coins, so she sent & commission from her country to ours to find out how our money was made, with the result that shortly after his return Japan issued a gold and silver coinage like our own. She has the one, two, five, ten and twenty dollar gold pieces, ‘the silver dollar and the fractional silver pieces like our own. Her coins are almost as pretty as those of our country. In the case of “selections” are the most Interesting of the ancient and modern coins. Athens is first mentioned with her silver | states and obolos: following are the gold | darie and silver daric of Dartus of Persia, | B.

Only one of these coins has been seen at the mint xince made a report to President Cleveland of official results of his work, in acconlance with the desires of the previous adminis- tration. In his report he says: “The subjects of England being the greatest offenders, 1 addressed her Britannic majesty to that effect. A British commission was at citce appointed to investigate, and I was re- quested to forward the papers in the mat- ter to the foreign office, which appears to be willing to co-operate with other nation: in international regulations to secure bu- mane treatment for animals. “The steamship Naronic, which was bullt for the better preservation of animals in transit, as a direct result of the ugitation against the cruelty to animals at sca, was lost on her first trip out, being a great blow to the cause involved.” In conclusion Mr. Ballou says: “The gen- eral subject now apparently resis solely with you. I would suggest that you ar- range for an international quarantine com- mission, to recommend new regulations to replace those which now require the cruel slaughter of our cattle abroad in quaran- tine, before they recuperate from long sea voyages and while suffering from sea-sick- ness; to agree upon the proper construc- tion ‘of vessels for animals in transit; to recommend international laws for the pun- ishment of navigation companies, thelr offi- cers and employes for cruelty, and to make them liable in damages to shippers for Ge- struction or Injury to animals in transit, and to suggest ways and means by which the lives of some millions of dollars’ worth of animals now annually destroyed at sea saved.” e mur. "Santon said Saturday that the crueity to animals at sea could be abolished if an international Jaw could be passed holding navigation compantes liable in damazes for the injury or death of animals in transit. —— MT. WGREGOR REVISITED. Mrs. Grant and Nellie Make a Pilgrim- age to the Cottage. w York World. ‘lysses S. Grant, sc-ompanied by Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris and her three children, Vivian, Rose sfarie and A. 1. Sar- toris, visited Mount McGregor, where Gen. Grant died, on Saturday. ‘The party reached Saratogy on Thursday afternoon. They came especially to visit Mount McGregor, and were «disappointed on finding that the Mount McGregor trains had been discontinued for the season. As it {s thirteen miles from that village over @ rovgh mountain road, a carriage journey Wguld be next to an impossibility. Capt. Déyoe, the superintendent of the road, waited upon Mrs. Grant and tendercd her the use of special train, which was thank- fully accepted. ‘On arriving at the rustic station they pro- ceeded directly up the hill to the Grant cot- tage, which was thrown open to them by the custodian of the property. As Mrs. Grant and Mrs. Sartoris entered the Ittle frame cottage of sad memory | they could scarcely restrain their emotion. The interior of the cottage remains just as {t was on the day when the body of the general was removed to be takzn to New York. The clock on the mantelpiece is silent, but the hands still point to the hour aad minute where they were stopped by Col. Fred Grant to mark the time of the | great soldier's demise. The bed on which | he breathed his last stands In the same | Spot. The floral emblems used at the funer- al services are still substantially intact, barring the natural decay of time. After going silently through the various eSpartments the party strolled out on the | broad piazza, and noted specially the corner where the general was wont to sit and read. Despite the years that have passed, the cottage and “environing groands ‘have | changed little, except that the autumnal | frosts have decorated the foliage and strewn the grass with fallen leaves. ———+-e+_____ Murder at Coal Creek, Te Coal Creek, Tennessee, was the scene of } another murder last week. About 5 o'clock @ woman named Retherford shot and in- stantly killed J. Lowrey. He had refused it was struck, and sad to relate, that was before ress appropriated money for to get out of the way and she shot the | whole side of Lowrey’s head off. BISMARCK HOLDS BACK. He is Suspicious of the Kaiser's Ad- vances. A Berlin cable dispatch, copyrighted by the United Press,says: The arrival of Count Herbert Bismarck and Count Kantzau, his brother-in-law, in Kissingen yesterday 1s not expected to help much in bringing the emperor and Prince Bismarck together. Many hope, however, that stronger in- fluences will prevail and the reconciliation will soon be accomplished. Emperor Franz Joseph snd the king of Saxony have sent to Kissingen sympathetic inquiries after the ex-chancellor’s health, and have suggested the desirability that Prince Bismarck make the next advances. The grand duke of Baden and the king of Wurtemberg are working with energy to the same end. Still Bismarck holds back, seemingly reluctant to answer the empe- ror’s advances, before extoruing such Lum- age as no sovereign has ever patd a subject. ‘Telegrams from Kissingen represent him as irritated and suspicious. He is waid to re- gard the attentions now bestowed on him by crowned heads as too ostentatious. They ere suggestive, he thinks, of a plan to ex- tinguish him entirely as a political factor. He is recovering his strength quite rapid- ly now, and is sensitive about being treated s an honored memory. He means to re- assert himself as a powerful element in German politics. This is the sentiment on which his son and son-in-law, “ith others of their circle, rely to keep him ‘ou the old line of opposition to the government. It will bitterly disappoint the whole country, re- gardless of party, if they succeed, and the emperor’s overtures be refected. The news- papers of al! political tendencies praise the emperor for having teken the initiative,and agree in hoping that the prince will not deny the nation the pleasure of witnessin, the end of the feud between Berlin an: Friedrichsruhe. Comment of the»Preas. The Munich Allgemeine Zeitung, Bis- marckian, says: . “Germany has not had such s joyful sur- prise for many years, The people will never forget that the emperor took the first step toward lifting a load from the hearts of all patriots.”” . The Vossische Zeitung raakes this com- ment: “The emperor’s action was a necessity. Out of respect for the national reputation, Prince Bismarck should not be allowed to thank of sympathy trom the emparcr Lise mark of sympa! m the emperor. tory might have accused Germany of send- ing Prince Bismarck to the tomb laden with the ingratitude of his fellow-countrymen. The emperor has drawn the sting from such a cl = Opinions of this kind might be quoted at any length. They are not calculated wo soothe Bismarck’s resentment at being treated as a dying man. ‘There is, in fact, Uttle chance of his submission to the em- peror for better or worse, and any plan of reconciliation with this end in view will surely miscarry. If the emperor's kind mes- sage result in soothing the prince, and in- ducing him to moderate the bitterncss of his attacks on the government, no nore can be expected. The official newspapers here, however, affect to expect more. The official journals in Austria-Hungary, which were quoted here generally yesterday, also try to affix in advance the stigma of shock- ing ingratitude to the prince's action in case he should not accept the position of a yYenerated but worn-out statesman. The Pesther Loyd say: “If, after the emperor's magnanimity, Prince Bismarck renews his hostility to the government, it would sink him forever in the estimation of the public.” In view of this line of comment it fs not surprising to find Bismarck’s friends du- bious whether the aproaches to a reconcilia- tion, which are known to have been opened by Chancellor von Caprivi, are not inspired by a desire to weakea Rismarck's criticisms of the government's economic policy, as it is about to be deveioped in the Reichstag. _ According to the last dispatches from Kis- singen, the text of Bismarck’s reply to the emperor's message remaius unpublished. Its general tenor 1s believed to indicate that the efforts to reconcile the two men will Le futile, —_—__+e+—____ THE MUNICIPAL MOON, to Ascertain Why It im This City. From the New York Times, “Why ts Washington a moonlight town?” was asked of District Commissioner Parker the other day. “That's a question I've been asking my- self for years, and I haven't answered it yet,"" was the Commissioner's reply. “Let's see if Capt. Powell can’t throw some light on the subject.” Capt. Powell, the Engineer Commissioner of the District, hud no hesitation in saying that Congress was responsible for the pres- ent inadequate lighting of Washington. It should be added that an electric light mo- nopoly has much to do with it. Visitors to the national capital find an ever-present topic in the gloom which settles over the city after nightfall. Only two or three of the principal streets are lighted by elec- tricity. Gas is the main dependence, and on those ‘nights when, accoding to ‘the al- manac, the moon should be shining, the gas 1s extinguished. Most of the streets are so heavily shaded that the gas lamps, when burning, but intensify the darkness. Although this condition of affairs has been the subject of bitter complaint for years, Congress shows no disposition to remedy it. There were in operation at the close of the last fiscal year 5,496 gas lamps, 882 electric arc lamps and 700 oil lamps. ‘There wus last year an appropriation of $9,500 for the electric lighting. The limit of expenditure for gas lighting was placed at $21.50 per ght. The price for each elec- tric light is $190, which is sald to be the highest price paid in the United States. The United States Electrie Light Company has the contract. Last year Congress authorized the Dis- trict Commissioners to advertise for bids for lighting the city properly, but failed to make any appropriation for’ carrying out its behest. Therefore the old arrangements were continued. It is not to the credit of the nation that its handsomest city should be the worst lighted. Perhaps if a rival electric light company were to begin oper. ations in Washington there would be a change for the better. There seems to be no good reason why the District should not own its own electric-lighting plant. Citles which have tried the experiment have found it profitable. a i STUDENTS AS ROBBERS. One Killed and the Other Wounded at the Northern jana Normal College. ‘Two men attempted to rob the safe in the banking department of the Northern In- diana Normal College at Valparaiso, Ind., Saturday afternoon. As a result, one of them, C. F. Robinson, is dead, and his com- panion, C. M. Moody, is behiad the bars of the county jail, wounded. . It was about 3:30 o'clock when two mask- ed men, armed, went into the banking of- fice of the college. The only occupants of the room were the secretary, Miss Kate Corboy, and her assistant, Miss Emma Jones. “With a scream both’ young women started from the room, followed by a shot from the robbers; but the bullet went wide of the mark. The robbers then hurried cut of the office and down the steps, revolvers in each hand. The students, alarmed by the outeries of the ladies, poured out of the college buildngs and the boarding houses and dormitories. At the first shout the robbers wheeled, without firing, and ran to the fence, over which they leaped. They ran through the campus and straight down the track of the Fort Wayne road toward the cast, while behind them followed a yelling mob of students. The students were generally unarmed, but carried clubs and stones, which they had picked up on the way. The robbers answered with shots. than O. Howe of Michigan City, Ind., was driving along the road with u wagon- load of peaches, and was fired ut by one of the robbers. He alighted from his wagon, deliberately sighted his rifle across the fence and brought Robinson to the ground with a wound in his breast. He died in- stantly. . His companion knelt over ‘him and took his revolver, throwing away his own empty one, but before he could use it he was shot by Howe from the roadside. Me was then captured and taken to Valparaiso, where he was put in jail. Moody, the wounded man, is about twen- ty-two years old, the son of a furniture dealer in Kalamazoo and a student of the department of stenography. His dead com- panion was about the same age, a graduate of the same department, and now enrolled in the scientific class. ——__+e+____ Mob Violence De ced. The presbytery of Knoxville, Tenn., has adopted resolutions condemning in’ the strongest terms the alarming increase of mob violence and enjoining upon its min- isters to do what they can to arrest this widespread and increasing disregard of the law subverting the very foundation of good government and ministering to the most corrupt passions of human nature. NO WAR ON THE LORDS. Mr. Glads' Will Not Make tack om the Upper House. ‘The question of dominant interest for the moment is whether Mr. Gladstone -will make his speech before his Midlothian ecn- stituents in Edinburgh this week the open- ing of @ campaign against the existence of the house of lords. The executive commit- tee of the National Liberal Federation keenly desire that he should declare war against the peers at once, but they do not expect any deiinite utterance frum hum within the next month. While assenting in private to the feiera- tion's recent manifesto against the lords, Mr. Gladstone informed the executive cou- mittee two weeks ago that he intended to coniine bis action to the measures {yr dis- establishment, “one man, one vote,” and the better regulation of the relaiioas be- tween landlords and tenants in London. In ministerial circles, therefore, no espe- clally hostile reference to the lords is ex- pected from Mr. Gtadstone at Edinbursh, although the whole statement of his pulicy will be directed against them. The lUberal campaign against the peers will open in earnest at the next congress of the National Liberal Federation. ‘This con- gress will adopt as a permanent plank in the party platform a demand for the re- form or abolition of the upper house. The Earl of Rosebery, secretary of state tor foreign affairs, advocates the creatiun of a singie senate, in which the hereditary cie- ment of the house of lords shall be pre- served as @ subordinate element. He had a conference on this subject with Mr. Gladstone at Blackcraig Castle, o1d afterward went to Balmoral to consult with the queen. It is not probable that he took to ber the intelligence of any new plans of Mr, Gladstone against the peers. Such @ declaration, combined with the Gladstonian program of disestablishment in Wales and Scotland, would undoubtedly have strained to the utmost relations be- tween her majesty and the prime mintster. The approach of the campaign against the lords has caused several English bish- ops to propose to leaders of the church in Scotland that they Join an offensive und de- fensive alliance to fight disestablishment and the reform of the upper house. ‘The Scotch churchmen, however, recei724 the Proposal so coldly that the ‘project of an alliance has been abandone}. The Scotch clergy seem to regard Welsh disestablish- ment as inevitable and almost justifiable They do not wish to link the fate of the church in Wales with that of the ghurch in Scotland, Politics is at the lowest ebb in London Just now. All the cabinet ministers sre cut of town, and the political clubs are de- serted. Among the Irish members of parliament who will take advantage of the recess to make American tours are Florence [irls- coll, anti-Parneliite for South Monaghan, and Arthur O'Connor, anti-Parneliite for East Doneghal. William Redmond, who helps his brother lead the Parnellites, bas one to Australia. John Dillon, Timothy lealy, Thomas Sexton, William O'Brien and Justin McCarthy have been invited to visit the Chicago fair, but have been de- tained at home, partly through the Jispute over the Paris fund. Michael Davitt writes that the real difficulties in the way of th release of the money are not due to the dls pute with the Parneliites, but are caused almost entirely by Paris bankers. Mun- roe & Co., who hold the fund, he says are acting in a frivolous and arbitrary manrer. ‘This statement has not as yet elicited th expected response from Messrs. Munroe. ——___+e+ ——__ HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. Ate A Leader Who Declares That It is Bound to Come. Florence O'Driscoll, a whip of the Irish parliamentary party, one of the youngest a@nd yet one of the brightest and most dis- tinguished of the anti-Parnellites, arrived in New York city Saturday on the steam- ship Campania. With him was Arthur O'Connor, also a member of parliament, a man known in English halls of legislation, and especially councils of the Irish party. Mr. O'Driscoll is a British commissioner to the world’s fair, and just before he atarted he induced Mr. O'Connor to come with him. After a few days here they will Bo to Chicago and then spend a few weeks sightseeing and visiting friends. While Mr. O'Driscoll was scurrying about the pier searching for his baggage he was met by a reporter for the New York Times and asked as to the situation of Irish po- litical affairs, the present standing of the rejected home rule bill, the future prospects for home rule, and the public opinion of England and Ireland of the house of lords, “The defeat of the home rule bill by the house of lords was not a surprise to me or to anybody else who understood the situa- tion. Indeed, the greatest wonder to all of us is that the lords gave the bill as much consideration as they di We all expected the bill to be completely and utterly snubbed the very first thing.” “Is there a feeling in England and Ire- land that the house of lords chould be abolished because of its rejection of the popular will as voiced by the house of com- mons?” asked the reporter. 2 "Well, yes, there is such talk, but it really doesn’t amount to much. The house of lords will not be abolished just yet, or be- cause of its refusal to pass Mr. Gladstone's bil. To be sure it made a laughing stuck of itself, as told in the New York Times’ London letter. Its action was farcical, ut- terly ridiculous, and funny, but the English people like to cling to tradition, and the house of lords is a tradition almost as old the nation. “The lords will pass a home rule bill be- fore long, though. They will see a necessity for passing it. That time will come in about two years. “Now that the home rule bill has been re- Jected Irish affairs will be somewhat quiet, as far as parliament is concerned, for some time. The attention of legislators will be devoted to matters of interest to England, Scotland and Wales. “In the early part of 18% there will be a dissclution of parliament. The liberals will go before the country and will have a com- ete vindication. Then another home rule ill will be passed by the house of com- mons and the house of lords will not refuse it. The bill will be passed by them because —well, they will not reject it the next time. “The feeling in favor of home rule has grown in the last few years all over the united kingdom and that feeling cannot long stand trifling. It must win in the end. “We have good support, and there are no better fiends to us and our movement than the men from Wales. One thing this great session has proved, and that is that Irish- men can stand together. We have shown them that we can govern, because we have been united. We have shown them that we can fight steadfastly together for a com- mon cause without bickering of dissen- sion.” eee ee Brakes for Electric Cars. From the Engineering News. We have several times referred to the need of better brakes on electric cars for the purpose of lessening to some extent the present seriously large number of accidents due to the running of such cars at consid- erable speeds in crowded streets. The course of events is proving very conclusively that better brakes are needed on many lines for the safety of passengers quite as much as for the protection of other travel in the streets. It is not sufficiently realized, we believe, by car builders or by street raflway mann. gers how vastly more important the brake gear is on an electric car than it {s on a horse car, on account of the much steeper grades over which the electric car is likely to be run. It is a fact that no engineer would have dreamed a few years ago of laying out a railway line for anything but cable trac- tion with such grades are now operated over regularly by electric motors. The only limit recognized now is what the present powerful motors can haul up hill without blowing a fuse or slipping the wheels, At present nearly all electric cars in use have brakes applied by hand, and the motor- man, if properly instructed, can vary the braking force according to the load in the car, the speed at which he is running and the condition of the ratl, so as to get the maximum braking force without. slipping the wheels. It is probable that air-brakes of some sort will before long displace hand brakes on electric cars, and it {s a point worth noting that in their design provision should be made for varying the braking force to suit the conditions. The superiority of the air-brake to the hand brake arises from the fact that it can be applied prac- tically instantaneously, whereas with the hand brake one to two seconds 1s required to take up the slack in the brake rigging and apply the brake with full force, With trailing cars there is, of course, a further advantage from the use of the air-brake, as the motorman at the head can apply brakes on the whole train as quickly as on one car, But to handle electric cars safely on steep grades, quickness of application {s not after all so important as certainty of application with full power. All parts of the brake rig- ging should be designed with so large a factor of safety as to make breakage im- possible, and in designing the rods, levers, &e., every possible chance of fouling should be ‘watched for and guarded against. The leverage should be sufficient to enabie the motorman to exert a pressure on the brake- hoes at least equal to the weight of the car, and the brake gear should be proportioned throughout for the strain due to the max- imum leverage. Were these precautions taken, the failure of brakes on an electric car would be an unheard-of occurrence. CONFESSIONS OF A “FIGURE.” A Talk With a Girl Who Tries on ‘Wraps for » Living. From the New York Times. “Good souls, no!” exclaimed the freckie- faced girl. “I ain't one of them artists’ models. 1 am a figure. “I used to think it was awful hard to have cat eyes and a snub nose, when s0 many girls that I knew were real good looking, but since I got @ steady position in the showroom of a cloak establishment, while some of the same girls are upstairs working hard at finishing cloaks and doing well when they earn $5 a week, I'm better satisfied with having a decent figure instead of a pretty face. “I haven't touched a needle since I found that by wearing high-heeled shoes I'd do for a figure.

They are provided by the store, of course; I could never afford to buy them out of my salary, and as for wearing plain clothes there, i should look pretty, shouldn't I, trying on Yelvet and senlskin sacques and wraps and me in a home-mede cashm of that sort? eS eee “The buyers wouldn't look at ‘em—that fs, the lady buyers wouldn’t—and you would be surprised to see how many lady buyers comes nowadays into wholesale places down town, looking out for what the retailers advertise as ‘imported articles.’ “There's lots of men buyers, too, and I hate the sight of some of them, they do so much more pawing than there is any need for when they are deciding about the fit of ® sacque. Some of ‘em are respectful gnough, but there's others that treat me just as if T was a dumm: je to be pawed and jerked around. fms & “Yes, in our brisk season I am constantly putting on and taking off—at least, having things put on and took off me—and you would hardly believe how quick that wears the new off of the silk dresses I have on and makes them look shiny and shabby. And then tramping up and down the room to show off things is most as bad on skirts as dragging ‘em out on the street. “Make me proud to wear fine clothes every day? Not a bit of it! Fine clothes don't make up for belng found fault with if everything ain’t just so, and it’s awful hard, I'can tell you, to keep everything just so with such a lot of fine stock to look after as I have and to be ready to answer straight away any question one of the bosses hap- Pens to put to you.

I ain't ad- mired; that’s the worst of it. I was saying just now that men buyers are trying, but, if anything, ladies are tryinger, still. You ought to hear some of ‘em passing remarks about me, like as if I was deaf. Some of the real tall ones will say that they cannot judge of the set of a sacque unless it is worn by a person of the proper height to set it off. Some who look as if they had swallowed pokers complain that I stoop dreadfully when I am only holding myself as a lady should hold herself. Some say I am padded to death and my figure don't look the least bit natuzal, me that never needed a thread of padding, as the lady who makes my dresses could tell ‘em, and now and then one with a crane neck will come in and say the sacques would look better on me ff my neck wasn’t 80 short. “Of course, there's real ladies that come in who wouldn’t disgrace themselves by such talk, but one has to take good and bad together, and answer civilly, and look smiling when one fs feeling mad. “It all comes in the day’s work, and sometimes, when the day’s work is over—It begins at $ in the morning and ends at 6 in the evening—I am so tired that I can hard- ly eat my dinner.

From the Atlanta Constitution. “Did you ever observe the different evi- ences of cordiality among the bon vivants of the southern states when they come to drink one’s health In @ bar room or at @ dinner table?” asked a well-known Georgia politician yesterday as he puffed away ata good cigar, and leaned himself against the post lazily. Nobody had observed them. “Well, the Kentuckian says as he lifts the straight whisky to his lips, ‘Here's at you, my boy!’ and his companion nodding replies, ‘Drink hearty,’ and the drinks go down.. The Texan pours out his ‘liquor’ and says carelessly, but politely withal, ‘My kindest,’ and the other fellow says, ‘Same here,’ and they drink, The Geongian stands and talks a moment before taking up the bottle, and talks all the time, scarcely no- ticing his action as he pours out the rye and calls for ‘pollinaris. Then he stands and talks a moment longer, for Georgians, you know, are never In a hurry. When finally he ‘comes to think about the drinks he lifts his glass and says, ‘Well, here goes, chap! The other fellow’ replies, ‘Let ‘er go, and she goes on the spot, The man from Louisiana, particularly if he comes from New Orleans, says in a nervous little spasm of cordiality, ‘Long life to you,’ and his companion, from Loutstana, too, an- swers with characteristic wit, ‘Send it south, send it south,’ and south’ she goes. ‘The Virginian calls’ for ‘mint juleps, and while you are making them give us a little whisky straight.’ bow! ‘Taking up the glass he his head after the olden style and ‘Happy days,” and the other fellow answers, ‘And yours happler,’ and thus they all take their drinks with wondrous graciousness and with becoming cordfality. Of course, there are some changes to these phrases from lip to lp, but as a rule they ure the sentiments of the fellows from the have named them when it comes ga drink. I ought to know, for I reckon I have taken drinks with about as many of them as the next one.” 000 TORPEDO DEFENSE NETS. They and a New Projectile to Be Test- ed at the Newport (R. L) Station. Seldom have there been so many import- ant experiments under way at the United States torpedo station at Newport as at present. Perhaps the most important will be the testing of the torpedo defense nets, with which not one of our ships is yet fitted. ‘These are now rigged to the United States tug Fortune. There are three of these nets, two of which are of American construction. ‘3 For these trials the old projectiles which were used in the trial of the Ericsson sub- marine gun at New York will be used. The gun will be again subjected to a test for di- rection of fire, speed and distance, and for this the new ‘projectiles just recetved will be used. Which test will come first, that of the gun or the nets, is not yet de- cided. Another test will be the trying of the Cunningham torpedo, which was built in New Bedford, and was recently given a trial under unfavorable circumstances. ‘The Fortune is also belng fitted with pliances for trying the improved Edson- Sims improved fish torpedo. —__—_<+o+__.._.
