A Business Consular Service.
A suggestion of business usefulness
on the part of consular service is con-
tained in the new volume of “Commer-
Qial Relations” issued by the State De-
The material for this annu-
al publication is chiefly drawn from
partmént,
consular reports and a few excerpts are
given which indicate that some of our
Consuls are impressed with the idea
that they may make themselves useful
in opening the way for an extension of
American trade. 2
These consular references are to
changes in railway construction, the
use of food products, tools, bicycles,
leather products and other articles in
foreign countries in the production of
which the United States excel, thus in-
dicating the localities in which it will1
be worth while for American producers
and manufacturers to send skillful and
experienced agents to exhibit goods
and solicit orders. It is not to be ex-
pected that Consuls will become sales
agents for American goods, but the ap-
pointment of wide-awake, public—spirit-
ed men as Consuls should result in fur-
nishing American business firms with
information upon which an extension
of trade could be successfully sought
by American producers themselves.
Short Skirts for Travelling.
Women are branching out further
and further since the bicycle period
began, and now another step is ~ taken
owing to the riding of the silent steed.
Itis astonishing to find how many wo-
men of all ages and sizes travel in their
bicycle suits, not merely when journey-
ing by rail to some good place for bbix-
ing, but in regions Where it isn’t worth
while to attempt to, take their wheels
along, and often upon trips where it is
just, plain traveling, with no inten,
tibn of settling down anywhere. So
common has the attire become for tour-
ists that it hardly causes a stare.
Looks of envy from the long-skirted
women are about the only demonstra-
tion that it calls forth. In a short
skirt the traveler can defy rain, wear-
iness, warmth, heavy satchels and
pretty nearly every other ill that tour-
ist flesh is heir to. There need be no
question about the elegance of the
garb. A few inches less of skirt in no
V way interferes with fit 011 finish, and,
as a matter offact, most such' suits are
the smartest of the smart, bearing the
ir"eproachable tailor stamp. It is no-
ticeable that the wearers are invaria-
bly women dietinguished by an expres-

If it were a sample of Indian summer
yesterday one must believe that this
late edition is of a warmer variety than
the real article.

There are some women who couldn’t
wear a circle without making it look
like a square, they are so thoroughly
angular.
Cloth gowns elaborately braided will
be much in vogue this winter.
It is a considerate thief that takes
your money and leaves your purse.
It is a noticeable fact that since the
advent of the cross saddle habit the
high silk hats have disappeared.
Chiffon, lace and ribbon are con bined
effectively with fur in the smaller
w 'aps and capes for this winter.
The person who can wander in the
woods at this season Without a feeling
of sadness is certainly insensible to the
influence of nature in Its varying
phases.

STREET ARAB A GOVERNOR.
He “‘83 Adopted by a Gentleman and
Given a Fine Education.
John Green Brady, of Indiana, who
has been appointed governor of Alas-
ka, never knew his parents, says the
Savannah News. He grew up a. verit—
able street arab in the utmost pov-
erty. In 1860 he was sent to Indiana
with a carload of waifs. The car
reached Tipton, a county seat thirty
miles north of Indianapolis, and a
number of the youngsters were com-
mitted to the care of residents. Judge
John Green, a prominent citizen of the
place, called for the “ugliest, ragged-
est and most friendless” in the lot.
Jack, as 'he was afterward known, was
promptly presented, and the Judge
took the lad home. He appreciated
his home and the kindness of his ben-
efactors, and diligently applied him-
self to study. A course at the public
schools was followed by a year at
Wavelaud Academy, and that by four
years at Harvard. After he had been
graduated at Cambridge he was sent
by Judge Green to England to pursue
his theological studies. Returning to
Tipton in 1876, the next year he went
to Alaska as a missionary under the
auspices of the Presbyterian Church,
and he has since remainedwthere.

There is a large coinage of good
stories about Hannibal Hamlin up in
Maine, and this is one of them: In
his earlier days, at a certain caucus in
Hampden, the only attendants were
himself and a citizen of large stature.
Mr. Hamlin had some resolutions to
pass which began by representing that
they were presented to a “large and
respectable” gathering of voters.
"HOlE. 13;,” cried the other man, “we
can’t pass that, for it ain’t true! It
ain’t a large and respectable.‘ caucus!
There’s only two of us.” “You keep
still,”;brother,” commanded the wily
Hannibal. “It’s all right, for you are
large and {I am.respectable. You just ‘
keep still.” So the resolutions were
passed without further demur. —Living

“Is it not sweet and inspiring,”'she
said, “to stand on the shore Where the
waves sing eternally and gaze ,intothe
offing?”
“Well,” replied the young man, who
lacks sentiment. “I suppose that is
enjoyable if you know how to appre-
ciate it. But the last time I went to
the seashore I didn’t .. give much
thought to the offing; What I wanted
was an awn.ing.”—Washington Star.
