MONDAY, DECEMBER 1., 18X were on the reservation. Asa consequence the quantity of food was reduced. Referring to the Northern Cheyenne Indians on the Tongue river agency in Montana the secre- tary says that complaints have been made by the Indians of insuficient food to prevent hunger, the result of which has been that' they have depredated upon the cattle of ~ranchmen. gation shows that both the Indians and white men bave been to blame for the troubles that have resulted. A large amount of space is devoted in the report to Indian cducation and farming. A reform has been instituted in the matter of the purchase of supples for the Indians, and improved methods have béen adopted for their distribution. Beeves, in- stead of veing shot down when issucd to the Indians have been ordercd henceforth to be Killed in slaughter houses.

The secretary reviews at length the work of the censusbureau.

Large space is also devoted to the work of the bureau of education and kindred institu- tions. The condition of the various territories is discussed and a large share of attention is devoted to the Mormon question and the recent declavation of the president of the church of Jesus Cnrist of Latter Day Saints in regard to abolishing polygam; The report closes with a review of the pro- gress made on the Nicaurauga canal, SECRETARY TRACY'S REPORT. The nd of the Navv Submits His Annual. WasiixaTos, Nov, 80.—Secretary Tracy of the navy has suomitted his annual report to the presdent, o brief synopsis of which is as follows : During the twenty months covered by tho prosent administration nine new ships have heen put in commission ; four, including one monitor,have been advanced toa point where they are just about to go into commission ; fivéarc in such a condition that they wili shortly be waiting only for their armor; seven have been built from the keel up, of which the Texas and Monterey are nearly ready for launching, and the fiye cruisers are well advanced; while of the six others pre- viously authorized all have been designedand advertised, and all but one, the ram, have been contracted for and areactually under constractio Of the vessels whose actual construction was begun subsequently to the commence- ment of this administration, the most import ant s the second class buttleship Texas, building at the Norfolk navy yard. The keel was laia June 1, 159, and although the work has been kept buck by the non-delivery of material, the ship will, in all probabili ready for launching in the summer of Until the year 1850, the modern additions to the navy consisted’ chiefly of cruisers of from 3,000 to 4,500 tons, and” of gunboats of under 2,000, The projected armored vessels included the Maine and Texas, battle-ships of the second class, and one harbor defense vessel, the Monterey. In the annual report of last year, the department advocated anew departire in naval construction, and strougly urged the policy of building first-class battie- ships, as being by far the most important constituents of a defensive force, capable of effective use in time of war. Congress car- ried out this policy, and in the act of June 30, 1800, authorized the construction of three sea: golng coast-line battle-ships. Under the conviction that not a moment was to be lost in obtaining these vessels, deemed to be so vital to the defense of the United States, the department gave urgent instructions to the bureaus, and the latter, ‘with a promptness unexampled in the histos of naval administration in this countr actively set about the preparation of desigus, in anticipation of the passage of the act. The result wwas that on July 1, the day after the Bet was ) roved, the' general plans w ready and the advertisements issued inviting proposals, Of torpedoes other than auto-mobile, one, of the Patrick design, a torpedo electrically directed from the shore, has undergon a suc- cessful test. Two others remain to_be sup- plied to complete the three ordered Februa 20, 1880, It is proposed to use these tor pedoes for purposes of iustruction in connec- tion with the naval war college, The number of rear admirals is too small for the nceds of the service, and I recommend that it be increased from six to ten, Of the reductions made in the numbers of naval personnel, by the acts of congress of July 15, 1870, 'and August 5, 188% the first was adopted at a time when the material of the navy was in a state of rapid decline, both in the number and quality of ships, and the second when it had touched the lowest point. ‘The transformation and rapid development of the fleet which has taken placein the last six vears, make it absolutely necessary to call or a new adjustment in certain branches of the personnel, in order to keep up a reasona- ble_standard of efiiciency among the officers of the navy. Oue of the most vital defects in our pres entnaval system is the want of an organized militia, s0 trained that in case of necessity it will be prepared tosupply thedemands of the naval sery The number of seamen now allowed by law is 7,500. Most of them at an, given time are necessanly scattered. The! would not be available atall 1 an emergency, nor would they in any case benumerous enough to form more than the neucleus of an active force. The want of a'fsupply of men in resorvo places the navy at a great disadvantage as compaved with the army, The army has al- ways benind it a well trained militia, which makes its real numerical strength, Without this it would be & feeblo instrument of na- tional defense. The navy needs its reserves as much as the army, and they should be composed not only of trained seamen, but of trained naval seammen. The development of the militia is in tho interest of atrue economy. Its cost to the general government lies only in arms and equipment for training. The remainder of expense is voluntarily borne by the states. Compared with the cost of a regular force of the same size, this expense is little more than nominal, as the periods of active employment are confined to what is required for training | purposes alone, The havbor of New York at the present time is entirely dofenseless, There is no other instance in the world at the present time of 50 much wealth in so exposed @ situa- tion, To protect it requires a combination of guns afloat and guns on land. Especially at that angle made by the shores of New Eng- land and New Jersey; the junction of inter- nal and external lines of communication, ‘where so much of the world's commerce cen- ters, should every reasonable precaution bo taken to prevent the eutrauce of a hostilo force. The peculiar configuration of Loug Island ~sound, with the har- bors and bays affording shelter in its neighborhood, the whole forming a highly advantayeous buse of operations for a mari- time assallant, is such that no enemy's fiect should ever be allowed to gain an entrance therein, With'a fleet once in the harbor tne conse- quences would be of such magnitude that the country at large could not disregard them. “The popular impression is that the danger of & soavconst oity 1a s dangor of bombardment, with ransom us an alternative. It is not re- garded as a passing danger, being opposed to the civilized tendencies of the age, and, at the | ‘worst, @ menace that can be bought off, Leaving out, however, the pos: bility, if such a ponlhml{ exists, that a state of war will forego an overwhelming strategic udvln\nre out of deference to the *civilized tendencies of the uage,’ and that auy state or city is rich enough 1o pay the fifty or one bundred mil- Rious that may be exacted @s the price of im- munity, the danger does not stop here. The Jterms of ransom would undoubtedly include the surrender of all the shipping, naval or mercantile, in the port. In the case of New York, itis hard to say what limit would be Mxed to a ransom, and Brooklyn and Joersey | City would contrivute their shares, ut the calamity would not end with the Investi- | payment of mon and the surrender of ships, Anenemy’s fleet once in the waters of New York would remain there, C: merce would be annibilated In conclusion I would repeat here the proposition that was laid down at the onen iner of iy report last year, that “the purpose for which the United States maintains anavy is not conquest, but defense’ 'The best guaranty of peace isa judicious expenditure L such ad will meet the necessi | ties of the count At the present time it has not such a force, nor will ithavethe force required even when all tae ships now uthorized are completed. The problem of na- val construction has been simplitied almost beyond belief in the last eight years. Tvonly remains 10 add to the numberof vessels of types already iu existence. The price 1s 1ot too high to ay If it af- fordas the means w eby the United States, for the first time in m years, may be en | abled to preserve and defend its rights. War is a great calamity, but itis not the g calumity that can befall a free, intelligent and self-respecting peoplo, -~ Y. W, 0 A An Effort to stablish an Omaha Branch of the Associntion, Not less than 200 Omaha Iadies were at the lecture rooms in the Young Men's Christian association building yesterday afternoon to hearan address “For Women Only,” deliv- ered hy Mrs. J. A. Dummett of Lincoln, st secretary of the Young Women's Christian association of Nebraska. The speaker, a ty little brunette of perhaps thivty years, spoke fornearly an hour, and during the friendship of e on in the house by her mild and earnest iner After a little preliminary talk, Mrs. Dum- mett spoke substantially as follows: § My Dear Ladies—The aims of our society are the same us those of the Young Men’s ian association, only what that socicty s for young men, ours does for the gitls. think this socioty as of recent or gin, but it is not, for thirty yeas ago, in Lon- don, o number of Christian ladies organized a societyto aid young girls,to look after them and see that they were protected and tought the true principles of Christianity. The work spread rapidly, and in a short time 100 socicties flourished.” 'Ten vears later, at Naperville, 111, the order gained a foothold in America, siice which time branches have sprung up in_every state in the union. Av the present time the larger portion of the work is lookedafter by Cora Belle Tarrand tie Drun, assisted by seven state secre- , who are coustantly traveling from one fo another, looking after the welfare of 30 members, £ “In Nebraska we have fourteen associa- tions, all prosperous and increasing in mem- bership. The workis of s Christian nature and the main object is to draw young women to Christ, but in addition to_this we propose to educate these irls, as it is apparent upon and _that each year the aemand for i the professions, as clerks and in positions of trust, is growing greater, and for this reason it is necessary that our young women should know moreof the ways of busi- ness, There is much for young women todo, and now vie propose to teach them bookkeep- ing, stenography and tit them in body and mund that they may be self-sustaining to teach them how to dress, what to ,and provide librarics and comfortable ms that they may have a place to go when out of employment. Al of this we do in the cities where our associations have been organized, and the line of work has beeu carried out according to-the plans of the par- ent association. “Some of you may think that there is need of missionary work in foreign lands, and so there but right in our own country avast amount of missionary work remains for Chris- tian hands to do, andin this direction no work is more laudable than thatof keepingthe poor working girls, who know no home, other than that inclosed ‘within the four walls of the little rooms where they spend their time after the work of the day has been finished. ““The girls want homes where they can go and worship; they want places where they can go and reccive words of comfort from those of their own sex. aund such a home our association can give, Mrs. Dummett then discussed the advisa- bility of forming an organization of this kind in Omaha, and urged the ladies to take hold of the matter at an early date, telling them that if they could ot erect a building, they can rent three or four rooms and start the w The state convention will be held at Ash- land from the ith to the ita of the present month, and at that meeting it is more than likely that some nrovisions will be made for organizing an ussociation in this city, S e et THE ART EXHIBLITS, that time she won pe Great Crowds View the Collection in the Steele Building. The exhibits of both the Western and Omaha Art Exhibition associations wera open to the public yesterday. It was the closing day of the Western Art exhibit and the doors were finally closed at 7 o'clock last evening, after a very successful run of three weeks. There was nota large attendance yesterday, as the bulk of the art inspectors directed their steps toward the Omaha art exhibit at Thirteenth and Harney, which was open Sunday for the first time, the management, having yielded to the popular demand in this respect. The wisdom of their decision was apparent at a glavce through tue gallerics, as hundreds of people were there who had not been there before, and who would have been unable to attend on any of the week days, The portrait of the late Bishop O'Counor, recent od from Italy by John Rush, was on exhibition there for the first time and attracted a great deal of attention. Itisan excellent portrait, and, heavily draped, occu- pies a conspicuous place in the main gallery on the second floor. There is little doubt but that the exhibit will be open every Sunday hereafter during the time that it remains in th'city. The sule of several of the pictures is grati- fying evidence that the citizens justly appre- clate the works of art that have heen brought here by the association. A number of sules are now pending, and in some instances the price is well up in four figures. Many of the ems that now grace the Bonguercau gal- lery will become a part of Omaha collections after the main exhibit is taken away, The patronage is daily wmereasing, and the association willhave mnoreason toregret its action in bringing the coilection to this city. Not only does the exhibit attract attention to itself, but it is stimulating intervest in art maltters in a manner that will be felt for years to come and will insure aunual ~ exhibi- tions of rare mevit. e English Women. A word may be in place here about the English women. They are verv little like the better moiety of Americans. They appear to have the most bountiful health and they ¢ | tainly do possess the lovliest complexions im- aginable. The Indian females of Alaska, who cover their faces with a thick black mixture of soot and grease, in order to pre- serve their beauty, may have the most per- fect complexions, as they boast, but until there is other evidence than their assertion, the palm _must certainly goto the English, Even in Whitechapel, or among the peasant or fisher girls, you will see cheeks like the sides of peaches, while among the London | beauties the faces are like ivory suffused with the tinge of rose leaves. 'We bake our faces in overheated houses at least six months in the year, and if we oxpose them it is to violent heat or sudden chauges. They live at home in such discomfort that the best way to get warm has been for ages to get out of doors and walk, The consequence 1s that they are born with a fondness for tho open air and open-air exercise, and always in a climate moist and productive of the most superb animal and vegetable development. But it seems to mo that the finest English women fall far short of our mark. Big, bony, women—too tall a nd big and heavy—they carry shoulders as dispropor- | tiovately wide as the sails of a windmill, and theu pinch their waists to a degree our wo- | men never approached. Theylack the grace- tul, opulent curves of the perfect woman, 1 never fully realized this until 1 went to Erance, where the women are often goddesses, | Then I knew that I had not seen in_all Eng- | land @ half dozen such women as abound in Paris and Awerica. Tvwas not until I went to Paris that I realized the fact that Euglish women lack not ouly rounding outlines, but that they fail of belng “stylish,” and that they aro wanting in gracefulness. — As for the English young girl, or “miss,”" she is next door to a chrysalls, without wit or spirit or originality, or independence; an ap pendage to her parent, & dead weight upon whatever company sho is led into: @ pulse- less, milisy-eyed, animated identit, A MEETING OF MOURNERS.

This field bas been 50 thoroughly threshed, however, that it searcely contains a new idea. Muchmore in- terestingis it to hear the members relite their experiences which occurred during the week following the fatal Tuesday “I suppose,” sald Representative Rowell, ““that T had hundreds of people come tome durving the threo days immediately succeod- ing election duy and tell me that if they had for a moment suspected the possibility of my defeat they would have voted for me, This feeling was expressed by democrats as well as republicans, Another clection held in my district on November 8 would have returned me to congress by a majority surpassing my most extravagant hopes. According to the Kansas congressmen the republicans are heartbroken at allowing the state to slip out of their control. Represent- ative Peters says that in his state tho repub- licaus woke upon the morming of November with themselves for staying at home on election day. According to him, if general apathy was in control of the party duringthe campaign general regret hus been in the sad- dle ever since. THE M'KINLEY BILL'S INPLUENCE ABROAD, An attorney of this citv, who is known throughout the country, especially for his political influence and practice before com- mittees in congress, gives me an _instance of the influence which the McKinley tariff law is having upon manufacturers abroad, which will be of interest to every American, Just before the tariff bill was reported from the senate committee on fiiance an Ivish firm larcely interested in the manufac- tureof linens wrote to this attorney and asked to retain hum to fight the proposed in- crease of duties upon linen fabrics. The at- torney replied thathe was a republican, be- lieved in the protection of American in- dustries, and that he did not wvish to take the employment offered. He added also that the prospects were that the proposed inerease of duties would be placed in the taviff bill, despite any opposition offered. The letter had the effect of stirring up a member of the firm located in this coun- try, and he immediately came to Was ton. When he called upon the attorne, advantages of the propsed protection of American industries ‘were comprehensively laid before him, The impression was pr found. He took the next steamship for Eng- tand and held a consultation with all of the members of his firm, and the result was that he immediately returned to the United States andwent to tie attorney for the purpose of employing him to fight Tor theadoption of the proposed increase of duties, explaining that if the duty was placed in the bill his firm would establish branch manufacturing estab- liskments in this country, Theattoruey who buta few weeks ago had been urged to fight upon the otherside by the same people now rolled up his sleeves and madea strong con- test for the adoption of the proposed duty. The bill had at this time just gone into the hands of the conference comnmittee, and the proposed duty was not provided. The com- mittee was told thatif the increaso of duty was made the firm would engage in the man ufacture of linen in this country. The prom- ise had the effect of affirmative action on the part of the committee. Ouly afew days ago the firm located its first factory in this country and it promises to establish many more branches. It is be- lieved that within two years thers will be more linen manufacturers in the Umted States than in any other country in the warld, excepting probably England, The establishment of tin}factortes and the opening of the great tin minesin South Da- kota are but miaor industries which are to spring up under the McKinley bill. There have been already more than twenty woolen factories started upin New England, and ne- gotiations are pending for the constriction of ious kinds of steeland iron working es- tablishments, to be run partially upon pros- pective contricts for the goveriment. There ‘o now in this country today a number of representatives of ordiance and small arms manufacturers from Germany and England, who are looking about with a view to the es- tablishment of manufactories for the pro- dudtion of various articles in iron and steel, CURRENCY COMPTROL 'S REPORT. The report of the comptroller of the cur- v for the year ending October 81, 1860, shows that a total of 307 new national banks wero organized in the different states andter- ritories during the year. Wisconsin ranks fourth in the list with 10 new banks _dolog business with an aggregate capital of $1,825, 000, Texas again heads the list with 63 new banks and shows that in spite of the opposi- tion to these institutions in some of the southwestern states, the people of the Lone Star state have a great deal of confidence in the national bank charter, In order to secure some idea of the amount of business done by the national banks inthe different states with other banks, the comp- troller of the currency recently sentout a ci cular asking for the number of drafts so made. In response he leamed that the natiomal banks in Omaha drew drafts for upwards of $00,00,000 on New York, more than %,000,000 on Chicago, £5,000,000 on St. Louis, about 3,000,000 on all other’ bauks inreserve cities, and $1,250,000 in round figures upon banks outside of re- serve cities, making a total of business trans- acted in the form of drafts by the natio bauks of Omaha alone of $175,178,713 during the ending October 31, All the national banks in Nebr combined show a total busit of this character of about §:23.% 10, The uniform rate of exchange in braska was for the year § cents on $100. The average rate of exchange for the entire United States was 8ig cents on $100, which is a wouderful falling off since the national banking system was organized inthe west aud southwest twenty yearsago, when the average rate was from 1 o 1!, per rlng the year59 national £ clo to business, Of these 50 went valuntary liguidation and the other intothe bands of receivers. Of the 4, threo were in Nebraska, namely: The First national bank of Ogallala, which was organized March 21, 1887, and closed January 14, 1800, It was chartered with a capitalof 0,000 and has circulating notes outstanding of $11,250, of which £,560 have been redeemed. The First national bank of Rulo, Neb., was organized April 19, 1557, with a’ capital of $0,000and Wwas closéd on Javuary 20 last, Tt had issued £30,360 iu circulating notes and §5,810 of these only have been redeemed up to date. The First national bank of Loup City was orga 1zed August 15, 1585, and closed Jawuary 21, 1800, It had $50,000 capital and $11,20 of circulating notes, of which §,610 are still outstanding. During the year 1801 the ence of ninety-five national pire. There are several of these in Ne- raska. The charter of the State National bauk of Lincoln expires Jaunuary 22, tnat of the First National of Lincoln February 1%, the Neoraska City National July 13 and that of the First Nataonal of Plattsmouth Decem- ber 12, Under the provisions of the act of July 12,1852, three national banks in Ne- braska with an aggregate capital of $750,000 have applied for aud havo obtained an_ exten- sion of their corporate existence during the past year. It is probable that those whose charters expire in 1591 will also adopt thosame plan of continuing business. The entire issue of circulating notes by the Ne- braska banks up to the present time has been 405,660, and of this amount 03 has been retired. As an indication of the activity of business in the west itis interesting to note that ac- conding to reports received of the business done in the cleariog houses for the weok end ing November 1, 150, the only western cities wherein a falling off is showu are St. Paul, where the decrease was very slight, aud Seattle. The Omaha clearing house shows corporate _exist- vanks will ex- an_increaso in biisiness for the week of 34,000 15 chthiphred with the correspond - ing weei of last yegr. SOME STRANGE COINCIDENCES, When thev cqme fo round upthe ropresent- Atives Who are It cioted to the new congress it appears that the™ republicans will not hav. enough members to have one man of expori- encelpon each committee, There are not enough of the hojlayors to go around, Not a single member of the military committee o returned and My Hoeed is the only survivor of the committee which framedthe new rules. The only committees which will have a fair share of their ok republican matevial left the postoftices wndypost_voads, five of the ma- jority members of which have been reelected, the agriculture gommittee, the Mississippi river fmprovemen, and the manufactures, cach of which retains fourmajority mewmbe A curlous coincidence is discovered in look- ing over the committee list. Each of the six- teen most important committees has lost all but three of its muajority members, some ot the members of courseserving on several com- mittees. Startiog with theelections committee Houck, Haugen and Bergen are theonly o jority members ro-elected, Burrows, Dingle, und MeKenna are all thatare Ieft of the ma- jority of the ways aud means ,and Hendersor Cogswell and Belden all of ' the appropria- tions, Ofthe judiclry E.

The girl who is going away from home quite by berself, and who will have to travel for several days and nights on the cars, who will be ata strange hotel by herself, wants a lit- tle advice about what to do, says Ruth Asn- more 1n the Ladics' Home Journal. Her number may bemany, so I prefor to tell her in this l1ttle paragraph : In buying her ticket for the trip she also buys a_ticket for her sleeper, and the railway oficial will arrange that if She does not gt the entire section the other berth is also occupied by alady. When she wishes to go to bed, the porter, at her re- quest, will arringe the berth for her, and then out of the small satchel that she has provided she will take the dark flannel or de- aine dressing-gown in which she intends to sleep, and go to the toilet-room and put this on. Her clothes are ung by the berth, and while sheiis advised to remove her dress skirt and corsets and ber shoes, it will be wiser to retain some of ber underwear and her stock- ings, not only because of the draft, but be- cause of the facility of getting into things the next morning. Get up early and go to the toiletroom, but do mot mouopolize it for hours. ‘When you reach astrange city getinto the stage that helongs tothe hotel 1o which you wish to go, get out, at the ladies’ entrance, go intothe reception rmom and say thatyou wantsome one sent from the office to you. Tellwho ever comed exactly what kindof a room you wantand ask the price of it.

No trouble about ordéring your meals should be experienced, 88 the billof-fare shows ex- actly what is served and you can take your choice. As to “tipping,>* you ' will certainlg give a small tip to the porter who stiaps and locks your trunks foryou, -and to any bell boy in the hotel who shows you any special service. If you areonly therg for a few hours it 1s not necessary for you ‘to tip the waiter, nor the chanbermaid, unless she also should do some act of kindness for you, such as brushingyour zown, gelting the _piece of soapthat you huve forgoiten, ar puting a stitch -in'a ripped frock. Although it is not pleasint to be alone, still Ido frmly believe thata well- bred girl with a clear bead and an under- standing mind can go, without uny trouble, from Californin to New York and recoive nothing but courteous attention. The don'ts are these : Don't dress loudly. Don’t make any acquaintances on the car or in hotels, Do’t sit_alone - in public varlors, Better by far stay in your rom and read than make yourself an object, of commen Make up your mind to be courteous and polite, but reserved, and all men will be like Chevalier Bayards to you, aud all women will give you what you demand—respect. e Some remarkable cures of deafness are re- corded of Dr. Thomas® Electric Oil, Never fails to cure earache, Women Wear Blinders, ‘On market day at Alkmaar one sces Dutch costumes in their glory, Alkmaar is an almost super-clean town in the provinee of Noord Holland, half way between Amster- dam and the Helder, says the New York Morning Journal. It is a pieturesque old place, which offered a stout resistance to the Spanish in the sixteenth century, and shows an equal zeal in the nimeteenth, in filling the square in frontof its weighing house with heaps of round red and yellow cheeses every Friday morning, - By daybreak the streets ave thronged with gayly-painted country wagous, from which descend women weariug broad bands of gold shaped like horseshoes across their foreheads. These bands keep the bhair back and thusserve the Dutch purpose for neat- ness, though they are usually anything but becoming. Large oval rosettes of gold, often richly wrought, stand outat the temples, Above the band is worn a full veilof white lace, or at the least of fine lawn, with a deli- catelace border. This hangs down upon the neck and shoulders, and is secured upon the hair by large gold pins.

He claims that it was a packed caucus, packed by Missouri Pacific railroad men, and that if he had had_half a show he could have downedJ. J. Kennedy twato one. Since the above was prepared the matter has been more fully investigated, as may bo seen by the certiticate of the primary of- ticers which is herewith presented. It shows that, so far-from having been defeated by Kennedy, Lowry was 4 viclor at the pri maries by twenty-cight votes. The ec cate was brought before the democrati central committee, which was speciall vened last night, aud thoroughly disc 1t was decided that the committée would en- dorse the certificato which of itself makes Lowry the regular democratic nominee of the First” ward. This will compel Kennedy to runas an independent nominee, 150 un- der the statutes, if his name appears upon the democratic ticket he will be liable to ar- rest.

Jules Grovy, Having scarcely any other public duties to perform than to appear at the hoad of her regiment of cuirassiers during the rare moments when the emporor is at home, the empress devotes the most of her time to her houschold caves, and per- haps continues to put up her own proserves, as she did when she was the Princess William. T'he emperor is not at all displeased at this kind of talent, as the fol lowing incident will show. Soon after William IT was crowned, a committee of Ber- lin ladies, having resolved to offer a gift to the now empress, decided, without a very long deliberation, that the souvenir should consist of a White silk apron trimmed with costly Inces, and having thé names of the five little princes embroidered in garlands, Inreceiving this present, the empress told the donors that sho was happy to accept such a gify, for the apron had always been the symbol of a good German housewife, *Be- sides,” she added, *'my husband will be satis- fied with your offeriug, forhe desives that [ should always wear an apron in the house!” The empress Augusta Victoria is now ia her thitty-first year, and is three months older and somewhut taller than the emperor but her fair and fresh complexion makes her look younger than her age.
