New York.—Mixed in with all the
other burning questions of the hour is
the problem, 10 sheathe or not to
shea he? You can get as many dif
ferent opinions as there are people to
consult. It does not seem to affect the
seaside hotels so much. As long as
there are beaches and bathing the im
portance of the feminine costume with
regard to the success of the season is
small.
But with the managers of the moun
tain resorts it is different. To quote
one of them:
It's all very well to talk scenery
and sanitation, the lovely views and
the good food—that used to go, hut
when a man can take a boat or an auto
and get all these in an hour or two
from Broadway he isn't going to take
a hot. dusty ride for tlte same result.
If we could sprinkle a few of these
sheath skirts along the mountain
verandas there is no doubt that the
extremely painful sight, so familiar to
the managers at present, of an Adam
less Eden without even a serpent
would pass away.”
One of them with imagination pic
tures the scene as he has witnessed
it and as it might be:
As Affecting Women.
‘ Did you ever watch a lot of wom
en trying to make out that they are
perfectly happy, sewing and playing
bridge and gossiping on the hotel bal
cony, every one mad as a hatter he
cause she has been beguiled there in
the belief either that she would have
a flirtation herself or the opportunity
“I agree with my husband, who says
‘hat there is nothing more attractive

wi h horror to the time when she will
pi'* the soft shell crabs and the char
lotte russe in a costume of that de
scription. No split skirts in my house
hold. if you please.”
Made a Sensation.
To one of the conservative stores
downtown a young woman came the
other day, quietly appareled as to color
and cut of her dress, but with her
navy blue gown coquettishly slit to
the knee, displaying a dark blue silk
stocking and a Louis Quinze slipper of
small proportions. She began to buy
some veiling with nonchalant ease,
and the girl behind :he counter wait
ed upon her, ignorant of the distinc
tion conferred.
Not for long. First a cash girl
makes the discovery and brings a
twin to see that she has not made a
mistake. The news flies about the
shop; it reaches the bargain counter
and other places.
There is a sudden stampede, and in
the midst of it the patron, with a
; scorching look at the crushing crowd.
which will hardly allow her to move,
j makes her way to the entrance and
thence with a flying leap enters a taxi,
whose driver looks down open mouthed
| and eyed to get her directions. Disap
1 pointed faces frame the door, and one
material below the waist, known to
day as the Paquin cut. The success
of the sheath, then as now, depended
on its clinging to the figure, showing
every line and curve, and ending at
the feet with a fad of drapery suggest
ed by the sculptured draperies of the
Greek statues, if you note a carefully
made sheath skirt turned out at the
Paquin establishment, or at any other
of the Parisian houses, you will easily
trace the Hellenic resemblance, and in
fact, in some places the sheath is
known as the Ionian skirt on this ac
count.
“To make the sheath a success
great attention must be given to the
undergarments. Paquin designed for
it a new style of bloomers, so that
^petticoats need not be worn and the
waist and hip lines should not
be destroyed by a lot of un
necessary material. These bloom
ers fit closely .to the figure
and are fulled slightly above the knee
—not too much, mind—and have a few
rows of lace put on without very much
surplus, just sufficient to give the
dainty and feminine touch to a gar
ment which is not essentially attrac
tive.
“All the models in his place wore
i these bloomers at first with the sheath
skirts. Now silk tights or fleshings
! are worn if required, as many women
who wear the sheaths prefer them,
; just as many prefer to spoil their
, shape with the intrusion of the old
style petticoat or drop, which should
never be worn with them.
Producing the Scft Fall.
“The soft fall about the feet which
i is so much admired by the aesthetical
! ly inclined is produced by various de
| vices, usually small shot which are
i sewed to a band of tape, which in turn
I is fastened to the edge of the skirt or
I a few inches from the edge, as pre
i ferred. Paquin used a rubber band at
the knee which went around the skirt
and drew it in to give the required ef
j feet when walking, and some of the
; sheath skirts have two rubber loops
; through which the foot passes, but
; ihis style, although it gives the sheath
walk all right, is very trying to an ac
tive minded woman, as she must never
i forget them, and while she may not
mind the self-consciousness she does
mind the discomfort.
“I remember one of my first views
of the new sheath skirt was at the
Paquin establishment, and a model—
one of those lovely girls they have
there—began joking and laughing and
insisted that she could step just as
far in a sheath skirt as in other kind.
She tried it and tore the costume all
to pieces along the sides. After that
the sheath walk was adopted, which is
fancies and fads that woman has been
taught to believe arc the symbols of
her power, and that she has little real
sympathy with the republican sim
plicity that would be foisted upon her
by a minority of her sex. She eschews
everything that is severe, rigid, mas
culine, and riots in the distinction
drawn between her gowning and that
of women who are trying to waken
their sex to something more important
than chiffons.
Simply Swing of Pendulum.
“Paris show'ed the same tendencies
right after the simplicity enforced by
the French revolution, and every crisis
of history there has had a similar ef
fect. The prevalent fashions of to-day
are the fashions of the boudoir, of the
drawing room, of the auto, not of the
business or the professional world.
“A few years ago business and pro
fessional women saw iu the adoption
of the tailor mades, the short walking
skirt and various other utilitarian
modes a disappearance of the lines of
demarcation between classes. To-day
ihey are looking with dismay at the
chasm that is opening.
"Take the sheath shirt as example.
A working woman must eliminate that
from h r wardrobe. Site could not ap
pear in court, at her business desk in
it. not only because it would be
; physically impossible for her to do her
work so swathed but also because it
. would bring into business and profes
; rional life the very feminine element
j riie is trying to keep away.
“The sheath skirt woman is opposed
body and soul to her sex's freedom.
The gowning of to-day is a challenge.
; Use all the arguments you have at
your disposal, one woman says to her
■ sister of the other world, and we will
I destroy them with the waving of a
| scarf and the curve of a figure in a
! clinging gown."
An expert on woman's dress who
has given “7 years of his life to its
| study poohpoohs the idea that there is
any such psychology in dress.
“Nothing of the kind," he says, firm
ly. He says it as one who knows. “1
do not think it is necessary to find
occult explanations for such obvious
I facts.
Peris Needed the Money.
“The truth of the matter is that
Paris is hard up. She has suffered
severely from our little panic. Russia
too. one of her wealthy patrons, has
also fallen off in her orders. Paris
hasn't known what to do and has put
her wits to work to evolve something
to appeal to a jaded taste and above
all to the American market.

In this same store a buyer, a woman

"he told his wife on his deathbed that
the sheath skirt, already known in the
trade as the Paquin skirt, would be

the necessary result of the bands and

Another buyer thought there had
been unnecessary fuss over the sheath
skirt.
Puritanical Ideas Criticised.
"The very people who will sit on a
beach and watch the short skirted
swimmers, standing, sitting and run
ning about, displaying lines and curves
with generous abandon, are the very
people who have these Puritanical out
bursts at the mere idea of showing the
same amount ot figure on the street.
Why is it?" she asked.
The pulpit has denounced the sheath
skirt, which ought to encourage the
makers, and one of the leading lights
in the suffrage cause has come boldly
forward in its favor. The stage backs
and fills.
A club woman interviewed on the
subject says that she considers the
new style to have a distinctly psycho
logic significance, as all fashions have.
“All along the line you will notice a
frantic effort on the part of the wom
en to show the world that they are
clinging fast to the womanly charms
of seductive dress, to the frills and
cannot say, for it is as difficult to
prognosticate here as in the publish
ing or the theatrical world. When
The Old Homestead’ runs a thousand
nights you are surprised when the
people suddenly demand ‘The Soul
Kiss;’ when the romantic drama
seems to be absorbing the literary
world and writers are busy studying
history, the taste veers and nothing
but 'Dolly Dialogues' will sell; when
you think women are at last cutting
out the futile and adhering more close
ly to utilitarian standards they shriek
for sheath skirts with rubber bands to
hamper their walk, as a Chinese wom
an's shoes bind her feet.
"One thing we do know. Fashions
never really present anything new.
There is only a continual turning of
the wheel. The sheath skirt is not any
newer than a gray hair or a wrinkle.
During the Directory it was one of a
thousand styles. Paris was mad,
crazy at that time. License reigned in
everything, especially in dress and
manners, but even Paris did not care
for the style any longer than the three
months, and if dear old naughty Paris
drew the line it would seem that we
ought to cut it out.”
RIGID DISCIPLINE IN BERLIN.
Germans Not Only Obey Rules, but
Are Unhappy Without Them.
The Berliners, and the rest of the
Germans, are the most governed peo
ple on earth, says Everybody’s. They
like it and howl for more. They have
restrictions of all kinds placed on the
order of their daily lives, but they are
USed to it. Indeed, they have arrived
at a sort of mental state in which they
look to the authorities to tell them
what to do, and how to do it, in every
contingency. "Verboten!” is the Ger
man word that has the greatest
vogue, so far as I was able to see.
“Forbidden:” stares them in the face
everywhere. They are regulated in
all sorts of ways, down to the manner
they shall conduct themselves in their
houses. There is a certain time for
beating rugs, a certain time for every
thing else. You can move your house
hold goods only in a certain way. You
cannot shake a dust rag out of the win
dow. You cannot do this and you can
not do that, and, they told me, after
you once get accustomed to it. it is a
comfortable way to live. It absolves
you from thought if you know what
hours there are for doing your work
and how you must do it. If a cab
knocks you down in tfle street, you
are arrested for obstructing the traffic.
Your place is on the sidewalk.
Every Berliner does exactly what he
is expected to do. and you must do the
same. As an example of now well
trained they are: They are not obliged
to have guards on the underground
trains in Berlin. The Berlin folks know
they are expected to shut the doors,
and they shut them. If you observe
their regulations you are not dis
turbed, but if you violate one of them
you instantly get into more kinds of
trouble than you had imagined could
exist. All you are expected to do is to
walk a chalk line, and you can be hap
py, if the regulations allow the kind of
happiness that agrees with you.
The Girl and the Woman.
There is this difference between the
girl and the woman: The first knows
nothing and tells everything, the
ether knows everything and tells
nothing.—Exchange.
SOME WILD ANIMAL TRAGEDIES.
Hunters Find Proof of Savage Doings
in the Woods.
When we laid hands upon Huffman’s .
prize and examined it a strange and in |
teresting story of wild animal life was j
revealed, says W. T. H. Hornaday in
Scribner’s. About three months pre
viously, that is to say about August !
1, that deer had been leaped upon
from above, by a mountain lion. Its i
right ear was fearfully torn and there j
was a big wound on the top of the j
neck where the skin and flesh had j
been torn open. The main beam of the !
right antler had been broken off half
way up, while the antlers were still in
the velvet. The ends of the broken
antler had healed over in a way that
enabled it to fix the date of the en
counter writh a fa’> degree of accuracy.
Both the hind legs had been either
clawed or bitten, but we could not
surely determine which.
A few days later we found about two
miles above our camp, close beside the
dry bed of Hell creek, the story of an
other wild animal tragedy. On a tiny
bit of level bottom land, which was
well planted wuth thick clumps of tall
sagebrush, there lay the well-gnawed
remains of a male deer. Close beside
the skeleton was a round hole in the
earth, like a post-hole, made by the
waters of the creek, about two feet in
diametc?r and five feet deep. This hole
contained about two-thirds of the hair
that once had covered the deer.
As sure as fate that yawning hole,
which lay like a hidden trap under
the long grass and the drooping
branches of the sage brush, had been
the undoing of the luckless deer. It
seemed to us that while being chased
by wolves the deer had landed heavily
on that spot, with both its fore legs
in the hole, and before it could scram
ble out a wolf, or several wolves, had
pounced upon it, cut its throat in
quick time and afterward devoured the
animal as it lay across the opening.

PIKING OUT TrX •GUBUT
Just JO years ago next August, on
the seventeenth day of the month, t'ne
first telegraphic message across the
Atlantic via the new cable was sent
from England to America. The mes
sage was of 90 words, from Queen
Victoria to President Buchanan. It
took 67 minutes to transmit. It was
the first tangible proof that one of
the greatest attempts of man in the
field of science had succeeded.
When a little company of men. un
der the leadership of Cyrus \V. Field,
began to organize for the purpose of
bringing the old world and the new
within speaking distance of each oth
er by means of a protected thread of
wire across the Atlantic, they were
hooted at as madmen. Capitalists who
invested their money in the scheme
were thought by their friends to have
become bereft of reason. Few imag
ined the feat possible.
By tornial agreement, on September
29, 1856, the Atlantic Telegraph com
pany was organized. Its object was
"to lay. or cause to be laid, a subma
rine cable across the Atlantic.”
Among those prominent in the form
ing of the company were Peter Coop
j or, Chandler White, Moses Taylor,
1 Marshall O. Roberts and Cyrus W.
! Field.
The first step in the program was
I to be the laying of a cable across the
Gulf of St. Lawrence, from Cape Ray
Cove to Cape North The first trial
was disastrous, because of a furious
storm, but in the following year the
cable was successfully laid. New
foundland was to be the w-estern term
inus.
Assistance was obtained from the
I'nited States, Newfoundland and
English governments. The rnited
States frigate Niagara, which was de
tailed to assist in submerging the
cable, went to England April 24, 1857.
The coiling of the cable in Liverpool
occupied thtee weeks. A strand of
seven copper wires composing the
conductor, occupied the center. There
was a gutta percha insulation, a cov
ering of specially prepared hemp, and
then the outer covering of iron wire,
for protecting the cable.
Five large cones were arranged in
the hold of the Niagara, round which
the cable was coiled. The length car
ried made a total of 1.264 miles. The
remainder was carried by the English
ship Atramemnon. 1,700 nautical miles
being required between the temini
at Newfoundland and Ireland. Spe
cially constructed and complicated
apparatus was designed for paying
out, and, if need be, winding in the
cable.
Nature seemed to favor the proj
ect, for extending along the bed of the
ocean, exactly between the two points
to be connected, is a great pleateau,
like an immense prairie, stretching
over an extent of 1.400 miles from
east to west, with an average depth
of about two miles. As it approaches
the Newfoundland coast it is entirely
free from the effects of icebergs which
ground on shallow bottoms. In every
other part, the ‘Atlantic is character
ized by abrupt declivities and moun
tain heights.
Another advantage was found in
the deposit of infusoria, covering the
bottom in abundance The material
showed a tendency to unite with the
iron wire protecting the cable, thus
forming a concrete mass, making in
effect a bed of down for the cable to
rest upon.
The landing of the cable in Dolus
bay was successfully accomplished on
| the fitli of August, 1857. Never before
[ had such a mass of people assembled
I on the shores of that bay. They came
from miles around—from their huts
i on the steep hillsides and the moun
tain passes, from the storied scenes
of Killarney in the interior, and the
bleak coast in the south.
It was a great day for all. Five
days the Niagara sailed, overcoming
great difficulties in the laying of the
table; then, on the sixth day. when
the Niagara had left the shore C>0
miles behind, a mistaken order to put
on brakes resulted in a strain which
broke the cable.
There was nothing to do but return
to England. The Niagara sailed for
New York the following November.
Of course a great cry was raised
that the scheme had been fairly tried
once and failed, and that any further
attempt to achieve this impossibility
was madness and a criminal waste of
the stockholders’ money. But in the
face of ail this opposition, the little
band of resolute men, led still by the
; indomitable Cyrus \Y. Field, deter
mined to make another attempt.
They had learned by their experi
ence many valuable lessons. One that
it w'ould be better for the two vessels
carrying the cable to meet in mid
ocean, make a splice, and then sail in
opposite directions. Other lessons re
lated to improvements in the paying
out machinery—it was found impos
sible to wind in the cable after it was
i once out, as the very weight of the
| line was sufficient to break it.
The telegraph squadron arrived at
! Plymouth. England. June 3, and after
an experimental trip of three days,
having received a fresh supply of coal,
started for midocean on the 10th, the
point of rendezvous having been de
cided.
W hen the splice was finished, con
necting the cable of the Niagara with
that of the Agamemnon, the two ves
sels parted. A terrible storm came
up soon afterward, and after 142 miles
and 280 fathoms of cable had been
paid out the line broke. It was only
by good fortune that the vessels re
turned to land in safety.
While' the squadron was lying in
the harbor of Queenstown, meetings
i were held by the board of directors
in London. It was proposed to aban
don the enterprise and sell the cable.
When the news of this reached Mr.
Field, he started in great haste for
London. He remonstrated with the
j despondent, upheld the wavering, and
| finally, by bis will and courage, ob
tained consent to make another at
tempt.
The vessels, accordingly, met again
at the rendezvous, on July 28, and
after making the splice with some
j ceremony, separated. Anxiety was
keen, as a kink in the cable, or a
hole running through the gutta percha
through which not even a hair could
be forced, would render all the work
i unavailing.
On the 5th of August, 1S58, the
eastern end of the cable was landed in
i Trinity bay. Newfoundland, and the
press of the country sounded loud
praises in honor of the triumph. On
the 17th of August, the famous mes
sages were sent and received by
cable between Victoria and President
j Buchanan.
Concerning the message, one of the
electricians on board the Niagara is
reported to have made the statement
that it was "cooked up" for commer
cial purposes, his ground being that
the cable had ceased to test out long
before reaching Newfoundland, and
that on several occasions in paying
it out accidents had occurred that had
destroyed the insulation of the cable.
In 1805 another unsuccessful at
tempt was made to lay an Atlantic
cable. The first operative cable was
not laid until 1800.
A part of transcontinental cable his
tory that possesses special local in
terest is the landing of the French
Atlantic cable at Duxbury,, in the year
180ft, This was the first cable to
stretch actually from the shore of
America to the shore of Europe.
Whales in Portland Harbor.
Two whales, one about 100 feet and
the other about 75 feet in length, were
seen Monday swimming about the
harbor by several cottagers at Ever
green Landing, Peaks Island.
The monsters were peacefully
romping about in the water and when
the steamer Pilgrim came down the
harbor they swam some distance
! away, but remained in view of the
people all the time flapping their
i huge tails out of the water and spout
| ing water. It was a sight not often
seen in Portland harbor.—Lewiston

India's Vast Petroleum Deposits.
The petroleum deposits of India, in

its products can hardly be estimated.

THE LA TEST WORD.
In artistic circles at the present
time, in fact, among all people of New
York who go in for esthetics of all
forms, there's one word that has the
call in all conversations and mono
logues. The word is “absolutely.”
Where one used to hear a painting, a
piece of sculpture or a stained-glass
window described as a very “sw’eH”
thing nowadays the comment will be
worded. “It's absolutely all right.” And
ecstatic young ladies and gentlemen
no longer say a thing is “perfectly
grand;" they phrase it. “absolutely
perfect.” To be in the know one must
put great stress on the word, pro
nouncing each syllable with the utmost
nicety.

SAVED FROM MATERNAL WRATH,
Boys' Fervent Prayer Was Answered
in the Nick of Time.
A suburbanite is fond of telling this
story of his five-year-old son Bobby.
Being of an inquiring turn of mind
the youngster one day managed to
turn on both faucets in the bathtub
to see what would happen. It chanced
that the stopper was in place, and the
tub rapidly filled up. to the great de
light of Bobby. Finally, however, the
tub became so full that it threatened
to overflow on to the floor, and Bobby,
hawing a proper respect for the mater
nal slipper, became frightened and
tried vainly to turn off the water. Be
ing unable to, for some reason, he
gazed tearfully at the ever-rising flood,
and then, mindful both of his religious
training and the occasional visits of
the plumber, he plunged down on his
knees, and his elder sister, who hap
pened to be passing at the moment,
heard him exclaim, fervently:
"O. Lord, please stop this water
running! And. O, Lord, if you can't
Co it. please send somebody that can'"
His prayer was answered, for his
sister rose to the occasion and turned
off the water and temporarily saved
Bobby from the much-feared slipper.
ITCHING HUMOR ON BOY
His Hands Were a Solid Mass, and
Disease Spread Ail Over Body
—Cured in 4 Days By Cuticura.
“One day we noticed that our little
boy was all broken out with itching
sores. We first noticed it on his little
hands. His hands were not as had
then, and we didn't think anything
serious would result. But the next day
we heard of the Cuticura Remedies
being so good for itching sores. By
this time the disease had spread all
over his body, and his hands were
nothing but a solid mass of this itch
ing disease. 1 purchased a box of Cuti
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment, and that night I took the
Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water
and washed him well. Then I dried
him and took the Cuticura Ointment
and anointed him with it. I did this
every evening and in four nights he
was entirely cured. Mrs. Frank Don
