Paris letter: Elaborate toilets find a
fitting complement In the elegance and
graee of the parasols which form a
charming corollary to the other ornate
accessories of one's dress this ser.son.
Madame is just now more intent upon
selecting for herself a number of pretty
specimens of this dainty toilet adjunct
than she is upon anything else In con
nection with her wardrobe, and the
windows of the Rue de la Palx shops are
this week fairly flooded or, more cor
rectly speaking. Inflated with the beau
tiful new designs.
The limit seems to have been reached
in extravagance both as regards mater
ials and styles. j
This need not dishearten the dresser
of moderate tastes, however, as very
pretty effects are attainable for a small
outlay if one is economically inclined.
A white, or a black and white para
sol, for instance, may be correctly worn
with any costume, while the white par
asol may be relieved, if so desired, with
the dainty effects of the new colored
borders.
Parasols to match the gown are quite
the correct thing, but this means, of
course, a large outlay for the purpose.
The chiffon parasol, made of flowered
FIGURED LAWN GOWN.
Dainty lawn frock, the corsage fastened at the side. The tucked front
has a yoke of lace, covered with violet ribbon, crossed over and under
and edged with a bias band of silk covered with French knots. Lace,
tie, and black lace hat with black plume. Violet taffeta parasol embroid
ered in pink and green.
chiffon, finished with ruches of the
same material, is among the latest
models.
'lue most alluring effects are ob
tained by combining chiffon with plain
taffeta In white or the reigning tint in
the flowers. The silk, which Is tucked,
covers about half the frame, from the
top down, being finished on the edge
with a ruche.
The most beautiful parasols perhaps,
are made of the art nouvnau silk, with
large, shadowy flowers blending with
each other with harmonious, although
hazy colorings; another fancy, equally
pretty, being the Watteau parasols, with
long crook handles, and dainty pat
terned floral garnitures.
The linen colored parasol is particu
larly appropriate for the tub dresses, as
our English sisters have dubbed the
season's washable novelties. The main
feature on the more elaborate of these
Is the shirring and tucking, a petal puff
at the point being the newest feature.
This has been named the tulip top as
the flower-like ptals stand up around
the stick and spread out upon the para
sol top as well, while the other trim
mings lay flat upon the cover. Some
of these linen colored parasols are bor
dered with linen colored embroidery,
others having lace Insertions.
Chlffn, lace and emroldery form a
very pretty and effective parasol. There
Is not so much frill as formerly upon
the most approved. Tho chiffon Is shir
red and tucked and inset with lace in
various designs, with posplbly, but not
always, a slnglo frill on the edge. Vel
vet ribbon Is a favorlto trimming for
these parasol.
Among the styles Intended to he worn
with Individual costumes the silk pon
gee parasols seem to be predominant, or
those of ecru linen batiste embroidered
with ilk polka dots matching the cos
tume. These are seen covered with
liny ruches of gauze ribbon of the same
color or with ruches of the same
batiste.
A dalntr combination Is formed by
j, ...
motifs of black chantllly, Inset in col
ored taffeta, while another handsome
effect is obtained by black embroidered
polka dots of large size, rather scat
tered, on silk. Hut daintiest of all Is
the parasol of silk with a four-Inch
band of Venlse lace in appliqu around
the edge.
The latitude allowed in handles is al
most illimitable. For the plain silks
natural wood handles )n light color are
the appropriate thing, "but those- of
colored metals in various art combina
tions are also approved, while Jewejled
handles do not wane in favor. In fact,
to have your monogram set in jewels is
to secure what the less fortunate will
covet. Carved elephant heads have late
ly become popular on the wood handles
whilst those finished with heads of dogs
and birds are still seen in all the
windows.
While speaking of accessories, which
for the moment, really are the most
prominent objects of consideration
among fashionables, reference must be
made to the newest lace collar, which
partakes practically of the dimensions
of a small cape. : It Is so elaborate as
to quite atone for a plain corsage, being
very broad and complicated in design.
One long narrow extension down the
middle of the front tucks under the
belt, while others extend to the shoul
ders, a high stock rising close about the
throat.
Next to this in novelty comes the new
muff, which is an equally distinctive
feature. Without this muff and the ac
companying boa. all the new costumes
are considered incomplete. The sum
mer muff3 are of chiffon or tulle, flow
ers in silk also beins; popular. Black
or white chiffon muff3 are moBt often
seen, either being composed of consec
utive layers of full flouncing. A big
buckle In brilliants appropriately fin
ishes the black muff.
Pongee s!lfcs aro undoubtedly in the
lead for summer dresses, although taf
feta crepes, loulslnes and moire fou
lards are also Been elsewhere. For an
extra fashionable effect, nothing ap
proaches a biscuit brown, hand-woven,
embroidered pongee. It comes needle
worked in the richnRt Oriental designs
and colors, a thread of gold often
appearing among the antique reds or
greens of tho designs.
Nothing could be better adapted on
the part of coolness or durability for a

It Is so adaptable to various e!fcct3. Es

The gown of pongee illustrated is
made in box-plaits, which make the frill
at the bottom of the skirt, the deep
hem being hemstitched, while bands of
red Btitched taffeta form the trimming
on waist and skirt The sleeves are
made In box-plaits to the elbow, thii3
forming the fulnes3. With this dress a
red belt is worn.
Another gown is of pink dimity. The
yoke of corsage and skirt are alike
shirred. The corsage is trimmed with
embroidered bands running from the
shoulder to belt. The belt is of the
same material, as also are the cuffs and
embroidered band at the top of the
deep hem, which finishes the skirt.

A heavy linen suit has a vest of white

The milliners also have fallen into

out a score of different tyrjes of hats

Include elaborately stitched fedoras,

TWO GREAT CITIES.
Sydney Bids Fair to Become the
Largest City of Australia.
New York Sun: Melbourne has al
ways been the largest city of Australia.
In lta phenomenal growth it can be
compared only with Chicago and San
Francisco. In 1835 it had a name and
14 inhabitants; in 1896 it contained 451,
000 persons. Gold made Melbourne.
For 10 consecutive years the gold mines
from 60 to 100 miles north and north
west prodnced over 150:000,000 of gold
every year. The many thousands of
men required to mine this treasure
bought their supplies In Melbourne and
spent their money there. The city
faced to the north, where the mines
were; its back door was on the sea.
But tho gold mines of Victoria have
lost their old importance. They are
still productive, but their yield i3 far
inferior to that of the desert mlues of
Western Australia. "Melbourne is slow
ly losing the largest resource that made
her great, and the wool and wheat trade
Is not likely to fully compensate her for
the declining mining interests. The
city was said In 1891 to have 490,896 pop
ulation, Including the suburbs. Five
years later only 451,000 persons were
counted in the city and its environs.
The decline in population is probably
only temporary, for Victoria is a very
rich little state. Many miners have
been drawn away by more flattering
prospects elsewhere, but they will grad
ually be replaced by permanent set
tlers. The great city, however, seems des
tined soon to lose its pre-eminence.
Sydney is steadily increasing in pop
ulation; by the last census it was only
42,000 under Melbourne s figures. Syd
ney is growing, while Melbourne is
scarcely holding her own. There are a
number of reasons why Sydney will
probably forge ahead and permanently
maintain its lead among Australian
pities.
One reason is, because Sydney is on
the east coast, where the largest popu
lation and' the greatest development of
Industries are found. Vessels in the
foreign trade cannot visit all the lively
little ports along this coast, and so Syd
ney 13 a forwarding and receiving port
for the trade of that entire coast. Mel
bourne's commerce, on the other hand,
Is largely confined to the little state of
Victoria. It is not a great distrlbutory
and in this respect Sydney has the ad
vantage. Then, again, Sydney faces the Pa
cific ocean, with its myriad islands,
whose Inhabitants, for 2,000 miles, car
ry on more or less trade, with the cap
ital of New South Wales; but Mel
bourne faces the Southern Indian ocean,
which Is destitute of Islands, and,
therefore, the capital of Victoria has no
Island trade.
Another factor to the advantage of
Sydney Is that the Immense coal fields
of Australia are at her very doors, and
fuel is thus very easily and cheaply ob
tained to feed her growing industries.
Coal must be carried a longer distance
to Melbourne, and thus her Industries
are pi tadcaea ETAOIN ETAOINNNN
are placed at a slight disadvantage.
There are the most important reasons
why Sydney has at last become the ter
minal point of all the steamship lines
In the Australian foreign trade, nnd
why it is likely to take its place at the
beadof Australian cities.
Not a Question of Money.
A man who went to Nebraska recent
ly with orders from Ohio and Indiana
feeders for 5,000 cattle, returned with
out securing a single steer. It was not
a question of money, but of getting tho
cattle. Owners now do not have to
send to market; buyers come to the
farms. All farmers who carried stock
over winter have made money. Even
men with loans coming due on bunches
of cattle ore not onxioun to sell. They

MAITXXA AND IT3 ttAT TKAPS.
One Consists of a Small Boy With'
a Eij Snake on His Arm.",'
Manila Volcano: Have you seen th
big enake and the email boy? Well,
they will be around to see you.
It is a displeaBing combination, but
one whose alms possess quadruple
qualities may be likened to a game of
cards high, low, Jack nnd the game.
The mission of boy and snake is high'
the conversion of the public health;
the calling low ihe catching of rata;
the boy's name is Jack and the game?
Well, it is both rodents and bounty.
The manner in which the boy,
through the snake's exertions, comes in
possession of rat and bounty is unique.
The boy, with the reptile on his arm,
aBd gunny sack ia hand,-.enters the.
court of a residence, and usually, after
much palaver in corrupt language, se
cures permission to begin the crusade.
With vigilant and keen eye he lnspecta
tho premises. In this inspection he dis
plays training the most systematic and
acute the gamin can discover a rat
hole quicker than a seml-nuds savage
on the firing line, hot in escape from
American occupation and American
soldiery.
But the finding by Jack of one hole,
while it pleases, doesn't satisfy hia
ambition. He wants to find two, one
of entrance, the other of egress. When
be has located to his satisfaction the
two holes he uncoils the repulsive crea
ture from his arm, and planting both'
feet upon it, brings forth from bidden
recess of trousers a small net, the
meshes of which are very fine. While
trie serpent wriggles and twists anS' .
darts forth from muzzle Its forked
tongue, Jack, by crafty dexterity,
places the net over the reptile's head
and securely faRtens it with sinew.
This done, the 6nake resumes its arm
hold and is conveyed to one of the
holes. The boy squats and forces the
head of the creature into the hole. The
snake, by some unknown force instinct '
or something else is certainly apprised
of what its master wants, for its body
slowly enters the hole and disappears.
The small, embrowned boy runs to the,
other hole, places the sack over it, and1
awaits the result with an anxious,
what-will-the-harvest-be look on coun
tenance. Sometimes the boy's face glows with.'
capitalistic triumph, for a number of?
rats scamper into the bag; sometimes
neither rats nor snake appear, and then
the boy feels bad. Nothing remains for
him to do but wait. He does so, and hia
patience is finally rewarded by the ap
pearance of tho snake, whose hunt has
been without quarry.
The boy is so small and the snake 60
big that he has grown lop-sided in car
rying it about for it is always coiled
on the right arm.
PKIJIITIVE JUSTICE IN IDAHO.
The Judge Ate the Chicken and the
Peddler Went Broke.
Washington Times: Judge W. B.
Heybnrn, of Wallace, Idaho, who comes)
to Washington on matters before the
supreme court, registered at the New,
Willard during the week. " "'"
"Contrary to Eastern impressions,"
said Judge Heyburn, 'we are develop
ing quite a high state of civilization;
in Idaho. It is not so very long ago,!
however, that conditions were rather
crude in our parts. We bad a Judge
on the bench out there who was am
unterrified product, I assure you. He
had never read law, but had picked up;
in some mining camp a copy of the;
statutes of British Columbia, and he
adjudicated cases by that code, and'
some of his rulings were bizarre. One
day a chicken peddler drifted that way
from another state and was promptly
arrested.
" 'You are fined $50 for selling chick
ens without a license," said the judge,
and when he heard the evidence.
" 'But I haven't that much money,'
wailed the defendant.
'"Make it $25, then," declared the
judges.
" 'I haven't even that amount,' fal
tered the peddler.
" 'How much have you got?' demand-'
ed his honor.
" 'Just $13.50,' replied the defenant. ,
" 'The prisoner is ordered to pay a'
fine of $13.50,' exclaimed the judge,
'and his chickens are confiscated to the
court.'
"That night a penniless peddler went
sobbing out of the village, an an un
worthy judge regaled himself and his
friends on the appropriated fowl. I am
glad' to add that a higher sense of just
ice now prevails in Idaho."
. -The Sinful Brother.
It was at a certain church meeting,,
and the good bishop was calling for,
Reports. He had a rather stern, sharp
manner which sometimes Jarred a lit
tle on the nerves of the more timid. By
and by he came to Brother B., a lay
delegate.
"Brother B., what Is the spiritual
condition of your church?" demanded
the bishop, briskly.
"I consider It good," said the brother.
"What makes you think it is good?"
went on the bishop.
"Well, the people are religious.
That's what makes me think so."
"What do you call religious?" Do
they have family prayer?"
"Some of them no and some do not."
"Do you mean to say that a man may
be Christian and not hold family
prayer?"
"Yes, sir; I think so."
"Do you hold family prayer?"
"Yes, Blr," returned the brother
quietly.
"And yet you think a man may be a
Christian and not hold family prayer?"
"I have a brother who la a better man
than I am who docs not hold family
prayer."
"What makes you think he la a better
man than you are?"
"Everybody says so, and I know he
Is."
"Why doea not your brother, If he
is such a good man, hold family pray
er?" thundered the bishop.
"He has no family," meekly answer
ed the brother. A. J. B. in the Drawer,
