Mrs Frank Leslie has sailed for
Europe in search of novelties, but it
is not believed she will bring an
other Wilde man back with her.
A Chicago man has invented an

There is no reason to believe that
tho czar of Russia is sleeping any

to refreshing slumber.
Two churches in a town in Iowt
have formed what may be termed a
medical syndicate. The congrega

ing every church member fifty cents
per month, who in return will re
ceive free medical attendance and $3
a week during illness, with the en
tire funeral expenses in case of death.
Some churches invito tho at
tendance of bicyclers by preparing
a receptacle where their wheels may
be kept during tho service, and an

which is a good idea, as they could
not well roll them down the aisles
and stand them against the pew
doors or hand them over to tho sex

TnE president of the French re
public gets a salary of $269,030 a
year, or more than five times as
much as is paid an American presi

must be moro honor in it, or else
our politicians are less mercenary.
Which way shall we have it?
Physiologists assure us that the
summer heat produces the best pos
sible results in the way of cleansing
the system. Impurities and the ac
cumulation of molecules, from
which superfluous fat is taken on,
are much reduced by the How of
perspiration, and the theory is one
that commends itself to the most
ordinary intelligence as entirely ra
ional. It appears that a bettor feeling
between Germany and France is de
veloping. It has been stimulated
by events connected with the assas
sination of Carnot. It is possible
that the two nations will again be
come friends, and that tho wounds
caused by the war and the loss of
Alsace and Lorraine will be healed.
It would be expecting too much,
however to look for this at an early
day.

Now comes Dr. Swarts of the
Rhode Island medical society and
warns us in this scorching weather
not to drink water from a filter. He
declares water filters to be complete
failures in the matter of purifying
water. Why? Because, according
to this noted m scientist, whenever
water passes through a filter thou
sands of new germs are added to it.
As tho filter is used from day to day
it collects tho impure substances
and these, as is readily seen, render
the water more impure than when
no filter is used at all, so that unless
filters are cleaned at least once a
day it is discretion to dispose of their
nse entirely.
The most affecting tribute that

Tea Jacket la Favor.
If economy makes another summer
gown out of the question buy a tea
jacket instead. It will be more con
venient, have about the same' effect
and cost half the money. A simple
tea-jacket to slip on before dressing
for dinner is made of baby blue China
silk. It is trimmed with La Tosca
lace, arranged in a deep frill over the
shoulders and another frill finishing
the waist below the hips. The silk is
drawn in at the waist line with narrow
blue ribbons, which tie in a bow with
long ends. The sleeve is new and ex
ceptionally pretty. The huge silk
puff reaches to the elbow. Below this
are two rows of shirring, separated
from one another by white embroid
ered beading and a deep frill of the
lace. This same design may be cop
ied in inexpensive crepes or fine
French flannel, making a comfortable

A simple and touching sight might
have been witnessed in a Paris church
the other day during the celebration
of a fashionable and largely attended
wedding. In a corner of the edigce
observed by few stood a youthful
couple, a mulatto girl and her equally
juvenile and equally dusky sweet
heart The two . appeared intently
watching the5 ceremony going on in
front of thevaltar, and copied each
movement made by the bride and
bridegroom whom the priest was mak
ing man and wife. As they knelt down,
so did the other couple kneel, and
when the faultlessly attired bride
groom placed the ring on the blushing
bride's finger the young mulatto did
likewise, only his ring was of metal
and the bride less fair. At length,
when the procession emerged
from the church, the humble
couple followed, looking as if
they thought they were quite as
much married as their more fortunate
brethren. It transpired that such was
indeed their belief. The two. lovers,

To be extreme is evidently the sole
object of the jacket of to-day. It is
either designed with tailor-made
smartness or is resplendent with trim
mings of great price. At present the
smart jacket, which may cost more
than an ordjnary summer vacation, is
receiving the greater favor.
Something new is a coat of dark

Hummer Draperies for the Window.
The season has arrived when silken
draperies and dust-collecting portieres
must be packed away in the camphor
chest until falL How to drape the
summer window so that it will be
artistic cool and inviting is a ques
tion of importance, says a writer in
the New Y9fk World. Dainty cur
tains of white dotted swiss or mull
appeal to every woman. When tied
back with delicately tinted ribbons
they lend an air to the room which is
at once cozy and homelike. Sheer
muslin with a scalloped border may be
bought this season for :0 cents a yard.
About five yards will be required for a
window. This make a dainty and in
expensive drapery.
The ruffled dotted Swiss curtains
are quite a fad. They sell at prices
ranging from S3 to S10 a pair. They
also come with a tucked border in
stead of ruffled. These curtains are
tied back much higher than formerly,
the ruffle falling like a graceful jabot
to the floor. Scotch guipure curtains
in white with a point d'esprit effect
are also in favor. They cost from
3.50 to SS.50 a pair.
One of the most exquisite of the
summer draperies is a silken fabric
called "sunshing." It is fifty inches
wide and sells for S3 a yard. Another
of the new draperies which may be
used for a window curtain or a por
tiere is the glistening Indian crepe. It'
comes in all colors with the conven
tional ficrure outlined in gold. An ar
tistic pattern is in pale gray blue
crepe, with the empire design in a
darker tint and worked in gold
threads. These curtains sell for $10.30
and S12.50 a pair. The cross-striped
silk and cotton curtains make excel
lent drapery for a country house.
They come in all colors cream
striped with a wavy silk line in dark
blue, and white with green, old rose;
or violet The curtains are finished
with a fringe border of the same color
as the stripe. Price ST to S10 a pair.
v The Beat Confidante.
It is all very well to talk about girl
friends, brothers or husbands being
the best confidantes in the vorld, but
the one who is in reality the only true
and sincere sympathizer and listener
is one's mother. If you own such a
rare and precious gift don't turn aside
to pour your woes and joys into other
ears, for life contains no bond so true,
nosympathy so ready and hearty as that
which binds a mother heart and soul to
the interests of her children. Just as
Eoon as you feel averse to telling your
mother all that is in your heart you
may rest assueed that you are on the
wrong track, and the sooner you turn
back to the path from which you have
stray ed the pleasanter will be the days,
the more blissfully dreamless the
nights.
A Ileantifni Woman.
The most beauteous among the beau
tiful was Mme Leon Daudet the
"Jeanne" of her immortal grandfather,
Victor Hugo. I used to, writes Mrs.
Crawford,' when she was nearly
through her teens, think it a pitv she
should be a day older, so much of her
beauty seemed to lie in freshness and
innocent expression. But she has
gone from fair to fairer. One can not
imagine beauty more perfect It has
regularity, expression, softness, grace,
artlessness, composure, and, in short,
is poesy incarnate. The worst-hearted
woman alive afflicted with a plain
face could not envy this suave being.
She is wonderfully distingue. I can
imagine Helen, when the Trojans
on seeing her forgave the woes she
brought upon them, looking like
Victor Hugo's granddaughter.

was mulcted in a fine of 10 marks, to
be paid into the poor box, and 50

Judging from the size of the piece cut

Five families of sub-Arctic nomads
have, been imported into this coun
try under government auspices. They
come from Lapland. The party com
prises seventeen persons, including
six men, the rest being women and
children. They bring with them
eleven dogs bred for taking care of
reindeer.
It is for this purpose, in fact, that
they and their owners came over.
The Siberian deermen hired to take
care of the imported reindeer in
Alaska have not proved satisfactory.
They got homesick, longing for
their nativo pastures on tho other
side of Behnng strait, and want to
be traveling to and fro. So it was
decided to replace thom with a few
experienced Lapps. Advertisements
were published in all of the Scan
dinaviun newspapers of the Unitet
States, but it was found that thcro
were no full-blooded Lapps in this
country. Among 250 responses ob
tained was one from William A.
Kjellman, of Madison, Wis.
Kjollmann was sent over to Lap
land. Ho secured five families of
mountain Lapps and took them to
Port Clarence, where the reindeer
are. Port Clarence is an Kskirao
uillage sixty miles from Cape Prince
of v ales, which is the most westerly
point oF North America. It is within
one degree of the arctic circle and is
situated on a magnificent harbor
twenty miles in length and nearly
land-locked.
In 1882 the United States steamer
Bear brought 171 , of the anhnals
from Siberia. To these 127 were
adued in 183.1. rawns born last year
brought the total number up to 346.
Ten of these were trained to draw
bleds. The presence of the reindeer
has attracted great attention from
tho natives, some of whom have
come 403 milos to see them. Port
Clarence being the rendezvous for
the 'Artie whaling fleet, many Eskimo
flock thither to trade and the deer
afford to them a useful object lesson.
One man who had a quantity of
whalebone asked a white skipper to
go across to Asia and buy deer with
it for him.
If the incroaso -proves to be as an
ticipated, herds of 103 deer each
will soon be started at Cape Prince
of Wales, (iolovin bay, Nulato. on

island. It was on Saint Lawrence
island that the entire native popula
tion starved to death a few vears
ago. Whalers sold them whisky.
and they spent the summer time in
carousing, neglecting to gather their
usual stores of food. When winter
came they perished of hunger. If
appropriations can be got from con
gress, a vessel will bo chartered to
continue the importation of deer
from Siberia. Eventually it is hoped
that all Alaska, north of tho Yukon,
will be stockod with tho animals.
Thus thousands of square miles of
now useless territory will bo re
claimed and made valuable; a perma
nfil "wealth-producing industry will
resexft ob the verge of starva
tion willl be lifted up to comfortable
self-support anc civilization.
The deer, on being landed at Port
Clarence and liberated, usually
started off to run away at breakneck
speed, but they soon came back, and
only two were lost in this way.
They aro easily cared for, wander
ing little and feeding for days in
one locality. In winter they paw
the snow away with their hoofs to
get at tho mosi on which they feed.
The only difficulties in learning how
to herd them are harnessing and
throwing tho lasso. For lassoing a
seal thong fifty feet long is used.
At one end is attached a piece of
ivory with a hole in it large enough
to permit the rope to slide freely.
In 1891 small herds were turned
loose on the islands of Unalaka and
Amakuek. in tho Aleutian chain.
These have already increased con
siderably in numbers. Native ap
prentices are being taught how to
caro for the deer. As soon ns thoy
have learned how it is intended to
lend a few animals to each of them,
in order that they may start herds of
their own. It is hoped that in this
manner the entire population ol
Arctic Alaska will be supplied at a
future day with means of support.
When they have abandoned the ehase
as a source of livelihood for the
keeping of domestic animals, they
will have made a great step toward
civilization.
Incidentally, they will bo saved
from starvation, which otherwise
must soon wipo them out Owing to
tho destruction by the whites of the
seals, whales and walrus, on which
they have hitherto depended fo
their support, they can no longer get
enough to eat Food is so scarce
that women nurse their babies until
they are 5 years old. Many infants
are killed by their parents let there
be two many, mouths to feed. To
make a fishing boat requires four
walrus hides, and the material is no
longer obtainable. A notion of the
peaceful character of these Eskimo is
afforded by the fact that they have
never attempted to touch the rein
deer at Port Clarence, where, half
clad and hungry the lives of only two
white men have stood between thorn
and abundancj of food and clothing.
What spot on earth where white men

condition long? Every deer would

tributed, and the act would be justi
fied by public opinion.

herself until sho died. She wore tho
cheapest clothing all her life, and
her common remark was that sho
had nothing to wear.
Miss Farnham was 80 years old
when she died. Although sho went
from Milton to Boston when she was
a young girl and lived there until
hor death, she always called Milton
her home. She was for years an
employe of -the Boston hotels, and
made no intimate acquaintances.
When she died it was not known
that sho had moro than enough to
givo her a decent burial, but in her
old trunk in hor room at the hotel
were found $5,0)0 in gold securities,
a bank-book showing that she had
nearly $2,0J0 on deposit in a savings
bank, and a key wrapped in a piece
of paper.
On tho paper was written, 'This
key will unlock a trunk at my cousin
Ann's houso in Milton.' The trunk
was found there and the key unlocked
it It was packed full of such things
as I have mentioned and contained
another key wrapped in paper, with
information on the paper that this
key would unlock another trunk at
another place. That trunk was
found with a like result, with a third
key for a third trunk in still another
place. This went on until twenty
large trunks belonging to the ec
centric dead woman had been found.
Besides the wearing apparel already
spoken of, valuable chinaware.
jewelry, and silverware, large quan
tities of the very finest table and bed
linen, the best English cutlery, and
many pieces of choice bric-a-brac
were found in the trunks. This

took two yokes of oxen to haul it out

agreed to sell the whole of these
valuables by auction in Boston, and
they netted moro than $10.000 no
