'A distinguished Englishman, whose writings are as widely read in this country as they are in his native land, was shOWn through a: very large carpet factory during a. recent visit to New York. One of the features that puzzled the visitor most was this notice, which was posted at the enntranCe to each of two immense workrooms: “No visitors al- lowed. Positively no exceptions made to this rule.” ‘Naturally the first glimpse of this formidable prohibition piqued the curiosity of the Englishman, and he experienced a. glow of flattered pride when the door was flung open at his approach, and he was invited to en. ter the interdicted region. The entrance of the visitors caused a. temporary lull in the hum of industry, and several hundred pairs of eyes were turned inquiringly upon the newcom- ers. 'After emerging from this uninterest- ing quarter, the Englishman inquired: “.Why so much secrecy about that room? ‘No visitors allowed,’ etc. It did not appear to me that there was anything there that anybody, would care to see.” The propreitor of the factory smiled, as he replied: “There is no secrecy there. “It is one of our ordinary workrooms, and the prohibition of visitors is simply a. time-saving precaution. As a. rule, we are obliged to rush things constant- ly in order to keep up with our orders. Every hour counts, and, of course, we must be careful about losing time. Every time that a stranger steps in a. workroom of that character the opera- tives are bo-und to look at him and. keep watch of his movements. Their minds are diverted, and naturally their hands fail to do their work properly. For every ten minutes that the stran- ger remains in the room each Opera.- tive will lose at least four minutes of time. That is a. low estimate. There are about 260 operatives on this floor. Take four minutes time away from each one’s work and you see that the firm loses four times 260 minuteswhich is 1,040 minutes or more than seventeen hours. In these hurry times we can‘t stand it often. But I do not consider the time consumed by your visit as wasted, for in the course of your liter- ary work you will doubtless make good use of the lesson.”—New York Times. PIGTAIL PECULARITIES. Traits of Chinese Characters Noticed by the Trolley Conductor. “There are some curious things about the Chinamen in this city. tha-t I have observed,” said one of the conductors the other day on the Pennsylvania ave- nue street car line as the car stopped and two Chinamen got off. “They al- most invariably take a. car when they have any distance to go. I suppose that it is on account of the peculiar shoes they wear. Another thing that I have observed about them is that they always buy tickets. I have been on this line for a. long time now, and I have the first nickel to receive from a Chinaman yet. They travel, as a rule, in company, generally two together. “They are great people for paying one another’s fare. When I come around to collect fares both Chinamen put their hands in their pockets as soon as they see me, and it is always a. race between them to see who can hand the fare to me first. I have never known of a case where each Chinaman paid his own fare. They seem to take the greatest delight in offring this lit- the greatest delight in offering this lit- and see if this is not the case when you see two of them get on a. car to- gether.”——VVashington Post. e GHURKAS AS FIGHTERS " When Once His Officers Gain His Respect ,f He \Vill Follow Them Anywhere. ., The average “monkey-man of . the Himalayas" is by no means a type of beauty. A short body, little legs, round head, and flat features are a. few of his prominent physical characteristics; and being for a long period clothed in one of the ugliest uniforms the genius of man ever invented he could not com- pete in picturesqueness with the fine physique and carriage of the handsome Sikhs Panth-ans or Raypyts. But, in spite of his unprepossessing appear-7 ance, once let his officers gain his re- spect, and he is ready to follow them |with dog-like fidelity, to “go anywhere, and do anything,” to use a hackneyed phrase: and these qualities which com- mend themselves to a. Ghurka are the same as tho-se which serve to endear an officer to the British private. In- deed, the devotion, courage. energy of character, and love of enterprise of these formidable but merry little war- riors are such that the writer of a re- cent article on the native army gives expression to his conviction that “there is not a. single instance on record of Ghurka. soldiers having failed in their duty against an enemy.”-—Pall Mall Gazette. Slave Owned by a City. . Salem, a colored man of Nashville, Tenn, presents the curious instance of an ex-slave who belonged to a munici- pality. In 1826 he was purchased by the city of Nashville, and since that' time, for the period of seventy-three years, has been its faithful servant. He worked for the city forty-one years as a. slave and thirty-three years as a free man. The old man is now 103 years of age—Nashville American; Unlortunate. “I'm afraid I have lost a patient,” said the young physician who realizes the value of making an impression. “Didn’t you know what remedy to prescribe?” , “Perfectly.

"‘ Notwithstanding the fact that, all sorts of skirt decorations; draperies. overskirts, and cverskirt effects pro- duced by various methods of arranging frills, ribbons, and pipings are being developed, there are very many fash- ionable women who see no beauty or desirability in all the complicated “gin. gerbread work" now so much the rage, and are determinedly adhering to the simple, graceful effects of the plain, perfectly hung, silk-lined tailor skirt, This idea of elaborate skirt decorating was about the only essentially novel characteristic of new spring and sum-' ‘ mer fashions. This decision is, of course, not universal, and for many light, airy summer fabrics, frills and flounces and lace-edged ,furbelows are very ap. propriate and effective. The most suc- cessful gown, however, like the most attractive home, is the one best suited to the fair one who owns it, having al- ways something of her individuality in. its ensemble and characteristics of her self in its pretty details and minor ef fects. Lovely Evening Waist. Graceful evening tollettes are very much in demand. Embroidered gauzes- ' and chiffon seem to be the popular ma- terials and Spangled effects of all kinds are employed. For a young girl a lovely effect is obtained by a combination of rose color chiffon and black pean de soie. The skirt, of the silk, is made quite plain. The dainty chiffon bodice is especially youthful and becoming. The decollet- age is round and is outlined with a roll of black velvet. Two ruffles of fine lace extend all around the yoke while a couple of black tips are placed on the left shoulder. A long sash of black satin encircles the waist. Nun’s Velllus'n. The beautiful nun’s veiling: in cream-white and in colors suited for either day or evening wear are being very largely patronized by high-class modistes who are preparing summer outfits for their various patrons. In heavier wools, double-faced cashmere shares with fancy coverts and Vene- tian cloths the'honors of popularity in the making of stylish tailor cos- tumes. Iris and lavender-blue, heather colors blended with fawn or gray, a very handsome shade of green, and fawn color in monochrome unmixed with other dyes, are favorite colors, and white satiii and gold braid, other- wise white satin overlaid with cream guipure lace, is still an extremely fash- ionable and very becoming decoration for the bodice portion. Velvet ribbon more or less wide, braiding, piping, or “cording,” as it is often called, narrow gimps and tucking, figure on the skirts and bodices of costumes of every de« scription designed for general wear. Toast Meringue. Toast meringue is what a trained nurse called a sort of idealized toast with which she tempted the appetite of her charge the other day. She made first a slice of thin, evenly browned toast, and dipped it for an instant into fresh boiling water that had a good pinch of salt in it. Over the range meanwhile in a tiny saucepan she had three tablespoonfuls of milk and a piece of butter the size of a hazelnut, and as these got hot she added the still- ly beaten white of one egg just long enough to heat it thoroughly. On the toast went the cream and egg, and, on a hot plate covered as it was car- ried through the hall, the dish went quickly to the invalid. Like most other foods prepared for the sick, the success of this dainty is in its careful making, attention to the details of hot and quick service being necessities. A Successful Ruse. “It is extraordinary that in these days of cheap education,” remarked a gentleman in a very audible voice to a friend, while the opera was in full swing, “there should still be so many people unable to read and write." ‘ “I don’t meet many such," was his companion's reply. “Well, look at that notice over there reading, ‘Ladies who are not bald will oblige by removing their hats,’ and then cast your eye round the thea- tre." A shert-szgmec remaie seated in front of the speaker, after straining her poor eyes in all directions, removed her large head-covering, and resolved, with a sigh, to pay another visit to her ocul- ist on the marrow. The brute behind her ceased craning his neck, and set- tled down to enjoy the performance. late-t Designs and Styles. A curious and pretty effect is obtain- ed by the introduction of faconne scrolls into tartan silks. The latest novelty in gossamer is the scroll print- ed ln a lighter color in mousseline de sole. These are being made over silk. the color of the scroll showing the ground conspicuously. w E E K L r - N o u w A LK T - G A-zr'rr n: Fashion’s Fauclcr. - "Although pasSementerles, galloons, arabesque trimmings, appliques, and glmps can never be 'called novelties as far as mere names go, they neverthe- less deserve the title regarding their designs and combinations, and they certainly never possessed the impor- tance they have gained this year. Not only do the latest importation appear in admirable imitation of ancient laces and embroiderles, but they are brought out in a constant succession of new and beautiful devices. One of the novel atterns consists of a. graduated set of erslan arabesques designed for the skirt bodice and sleeves. There are also mural devices in- shaded effects, Gothic bands, Venetian and Vandyke points of every width, palm leaves and ferns which are wholly new in ar- rangement and the effect and which are disposed in various artistic ways on evening toilets, day costumes, and elegant small wraps, sometimes form- ing one continuous design on the skirt, sometimes graduated in widths at the sides or set on separate in pieces on ap- plique to resemble very closely shaded silk embroiderles wrought directly on the gown. Ingenuity never rests, and exquisite jewelled and sequined pieces are made ln-special designs for the girdle, rounded jacket fronts, yoke, guimpe, marrow, or flaring Medici col< lar, bretelles, sleeve cuff or puff, skirt border, and failing chatelalne—each design delicately shaded and massed to avoid heaviness. r But Could She? Beware of the wife who, as shekisses you good-bye, slips 9. bit of paper into your pocket, saying:— “There's a list of a. few things I’d like you to get on your way home. Please don’t overlook any of them. It will only take you a. few moments, and I want all of them to—day. There’s a dear." Jenkins has such a wife. the little slip, and says:— “Yes, my dear; I’ll get them." He gives himself ten minutes to catch the train for home, and this is the list:— “Six lemons, a dozen oranges, yard of blue ribbon, dozen shirt buttons, bottle of ipecacuanha, bundle of celerY. bottle of vanilla extract, pound of ai- monds, pound of moist sugar, yard of white cambric, shilling’s mrth of cha- mols leather, box of glycerine jujubes for baby’s cough, card of hooks and eyes, figs, dates, yard of lace like samo ple, boot-laces for Johnnie, packet of pins, piece of blue dress braid, and something for baby." He arrives home with two lemons and an orange, and looks unutterable things when Mrs. Jenkins says:— “You didn’t have time to get the oth- er things? Why, my dear, I could havebought them all in ten minutes." He takes A Pretty Case. This is a new idea for the orderly woman.

To render a. saddle soft and easy. a. simple method is to rub a few drops of castor oil thoroughly into the un- derneath side of the leather.Too much should not be used, as the leather will soak it up and damage the clothes. A lotion of cologne and quinine is a most efficacious panacea for aching muscles, if well rubbed into the skin. It is an excellent tonic for strength- ening the weak members suddenly called upon to do unwanted duty. The proportions are sixteen grains of qui- nine dissolved in half a pint of can de cologne, to be rubbed in directly after the bath. This will serve as a pre- ventive of cold, a pain alleviator, and a tonic.

Then rub it well over with powdered whiting on a cloth until the rust has quite disap- peared. Burlap: for the Wax. The growing use of burlaps in wall treatment proves their desirability. Decorators have found that they are especially useful in old rooms, where cracked unsightly walls or uneven par- titions are to be covered. Some manu~ facturers put out the material with a specially prepared back, which takes paste or paper-hangers’ glue readily, and goes on witheease and smoothness. It has been urged that the material is not cleanly, but it is quite as easily taken care of as paper or even painted walls. In lieu of the dry cloth or a :vet sponge which these demand, bur— ~:aps needs a brush, and it can be as thoroughly rid of dust as a piece of --heese-cloth. Now that it is manufac- .ured in many varieties, soft plain' tints, baronlal designs, and tapestry patterns, its use should largely ln~ :rease. ‘ ‘ The King of Greece, when convers- ing with the” members of his family, never employs any but the Engliih language. l WILL NOT SURRENDER Spaniards in Santiago Are Still _ Bitterly Defiant. . WILL DIE NEVER YIELD Linux-en's Reply to Shutter Was. “In" Garrison Dies, but Never Sui-renders." The Amistice Not omciaiy Recognized and Men Warned to Keep Out of Sight. Spaniards Anxious to Leave the City. A Desperate Panic . Before Sump, July 7.—-Not a shot has been exchanged between the op- posing armies since Tuesday noon. At the request of the foreign capsule in Santiago de Cuba. General Shatter extended until to-day noon the period within which General Llnares may agree to surrender his forces, ~unde£ the'uthreatthat the-town’wi-ll be bom- barded. The Spanish general's decis- ion is doubtful. It .is unquestionably, true that the annihilation of Admiral Cervera’s fleet was a. staggering blow. to him, but Mr. Ramadan, the British consul, says General Panda has rein- forced General Linares with five thou- sandtro-ops, and that the Spaniards are bitterly determined to fight it out. He said that so intense was the feel- ' ing among the Spanish subal-tern odi- cers that General Llnares would prob- ably be shot if he surrendered. Their attitude was expressed in Gen. Linares' reply to General Shaffer yesterday: “This garrison dies, but never sur- renders." Among some of the soldiers, howev- er, a. different feeling must prevail. They have ascertained from the expo-s rlenoe of the inhabitants of Siboney that American soldiers respect life and property and relieve prisoners in dis- tress. Many of the Spaniards, there- fore, are now utterly indifferent if further misfortune. befalls the Spanish army. The armistice is not officially recog- nized and our boys 'haVe been cau- tioned to keep out of sight, as a stray shot at any :time may precipitate gen- eral firing along the line. ' In spite of the reports brought by the consuls of the determination of the Spaniards to continue the contest there is a strong hope here than Gen- eral Linares will capitulate. No other construction can be placed upon his disposition to negotiate. Rain poured down in torrents for hours, but a traverse to the hillside had been cut in the trenches after yes- terday’s experience and our men did not suffer very much.

The British and Australian consulates Were besieged by hundreds imploring a chance to leave.
