A Competition 01 Noses.
Milan has recently been the seem
if one of the most remarkable competi-
tions on record. The “Societa dei
Buontemponi,” or the “Society of Jolly
Boys,” offered tempting'prizes to‘ the
owners of thevmost striking nosés in
ltaly; and scores of competitors who
were nasally gifted above their fellows
entered the lists.
The prizes were awarded at the Della
Asse restaurant, in the presence of an
enthusiastic crowd. A long poem, ex-
tolling the nose as a. feature of great
miportance, was read by the secretary,
Signor Brivio; and, the vice-president
followed with a learned review of the
influence of noses on human history.
The prizes were then awarded.
The first prize fell to the lot of For-
:unato Micheluti, a vendor of “wax
eights,” whose nose, of remarkable
ength and thinness, was an object of
envy and despair. It belongs to the
pre-Grecian type, and is without a ri-
val for inserting into "other people’s
business.” The second prize was
awarded to a Roman nose of such bold
:urve and proportions as to make a.
Wellington die of deSpair.
To Mount Pictures.
The best thing to use to mount pict-
ures is boiled flour paste. It should be
- :ntirely free from lumps and made
ibout as thick as boiled starch. In ap-
plying it, use a flat brush and also rub
.he paste smooth in case of any possi-
ale lumps. If mucilage or gum-arable
ind water are used, it should be re-
nembered that the picture should be
moistened on the back before the mu-
:ilage is applied; otherwise they will
lry in blisters. So many good pictures
ire in circulation it is a pity not to at-
;empt the mounting of them in inex-
pensive fashion. Passe-parlout mount-
lngs are within the reach of every one,
and are a perfect protection to the
picture as well as an effective method.
if displaying them.
Dainty Gray Gown.
The gray gowns this year are ex-
;remely dainty and handsome, and they
appear in every sort of material, from
linen, pique, batiste, nun’s veiling, and
cashmere, on through the array of at-
tractive dress fabrics to Cl'iSp stand-
alone tafieta, satin foulard, crepe de
chine, moire, faille, and summer bro-
:ade.
_ Watered Silk.
The most elegant black gowns just
now showu at the importing houses are
'of very lustrous watered silk, made in.
princesse style, and trimmed very
elaborately on the bodice portion and
front of the gown with black lace, with
girdle and yoke, bretelle or vest-piece
of the finest cut jet.
Parasol: This Season.
There are no sprprising novelties in
parasols this year. Chiffon is almost
omnipresent, and when this is absent
lace is fopnd. .There are far more
fancy models exhibited than those for-
utility uses, the only serviceable styles
iisplayed being those of pongee or of
silk in plain or fancy patterns. __.....

Twelve girl friends of the bride at

by 'whistling the Wedding March. And
nobody, we are pleased to add, was
rude enough to remark about crowing
f'
France has had thirtyvslx ministries
in less than twenty-eight years, and
so many Cabinet crises that the
count has been lost. The chief quali-
fication for keeping up with French
politics is activity. '
An American flag, with eighty-three
stars, which floats over a tug in New
York ‘harbor has a history. Each star
stands for a life saved by Captain
Grace, commanding the boat, during
the forty years he has served as cap-
tain and pilot on the river and Sound.
Maceo, the great Cuban leader, died
too soon. He rode allover the island,
pretty much at his will, with less than
a thousand troopers. He outwitted,
outflanked and, when it was neces-
sary, outfought the Spaniards at ev-
ery turn. He would have laughed at
the idea of marshalling 100,000 sea~
soned troops to drive the Spaniards
off the island. ”'2
“Old Ironsides” may be called our
luckiest as well as most famous bat-
tle-ship. In her’ hardest fight, that
with the new British frigate Java in
1812, she lost but nine killed and
twenty-five wounded; though the total
loss on her adversary was 161. In
destroying the Guerriere, Cyrene and
Levant, the Constitution’s casualty list,
was eight killed, seventeen wounded,
while that of the defeated vessels was.a
fifty killed, 105 wounded. The Lon-
don Times said in 1813: “The fact
seems but too clearly established that
the Americans have some superior
mode of firing.”
The Society for the Preservation 0f 2
Historic Places and Objects wants to
have the railway stations of this State-
beautified. It points out that “the
avenues of steam traffic through the
cities and villages of the State are, in
the nature of things, almost invariably
bordered by unattractive ’conditions,
which, unless counteracted by more
agreeable surroundings at the halting
placcsboftrains, create in the minds
of the traveller an unfavorable im-
pression of the community through
which he is passing.” So far so good,
but wouldn‘t it be bette; for the so-
ciety to begin by attendifig to the ugly
adverising signs that border the
tracks?
The announcement that Hayti has
decided to live up to her agreement
regarding the taxation of Americans
within her borders must be taken to
mean far more than appears on the
surface. To be sure, it is an important
success for the American Minister,
Powell, to secure. rights for which
this country has been working for
years, and by ‘which our citizens re;
ceive the same treatment at the hands
of the Haytian Government that is ac-
corded to citizens of that land. This
was a diplomatic victory, but those
who have watched the course of
events in the Black Republic are sat-
isfied that .had Commodore Dewey’s
squadron met with a reverse instead
of a complete success the news from
Port au Prince would have been far
different. .
Our diplomatic relations with Haytl
are of a peculiarly intimate character.
The treaties between the two coun2
tries practically make Hayti an ally in
time 'of war, and when the President
of that republic thinks, he generally
turns his face toward Washington.
These relations have been solidified by
years of honorable and friendly deal-
ing, bot‘h politically and commercially.
When, after the blowing up of the
Maine, war between Spain and this
country became imminent it was an
open secret that Hayti strongly f-a-
vored the renunciation of her treaties
with us. Not that she was against
our cause, but because she desired to
assume a more neutral attitude to-
ward the belligerent powers. There
was perhaps a feeling of piquetha‘;
this country had not interfered in her
little affair with Germany. In any
event, her executive objected to stand
ing in the light of an ally of this coun-
try. Definite action was postponed
from time to time, and now comes the
announcement that Hayti has con-
ceded t‘he only point that she has ever
contested in the treaty.

GOLIWMINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES I0 BE ADVANGED AUGUST 3|, I898.~
. Mr. Joseph Ladue, the pioneer of the Klondike, and founder of
Dawson City, aided by some of the most conservative and successful finan-
ciers of New York, is operating the strongest company yet formed for
mining and trading in the Yukon gold fields.
To this Company he has transferred placer claims on Hunker and
Gold Bottom Creeks, the “Marguerite” Quartz Mine, his Saw Mill,
his Timber Lease, that virtually monopolizes the saw timber on the
Klondike, and large holdings of Choice Town Lots in Dawson City.
The Companyalso owns the S. S. “ Morgan City ” now earning $20,000 per
month, and has shipped up the Yukon several hundred tons of merchandise,
for trade, upon which a very large profit is assured. The U. S. Government
report! certify that the saw mill produces about two million feet of lumber
in the open season, sales‘ price of which is,from $140 to $240 per 1,000 feet
according to class. ‘-
CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY. ,
Preferred Stock, 6% cumulltive, $1,000,000
Common Stock, , 4,000,000
Total Capital, par value, $10 per share, $5,000,000
The preferred stock has a first lien ‘on earnings for its dividend,
and on the assets of the Company for its par value, and after all the
stock of the Company has received 6 per cent, the surplus earnings are
shared pro rats. by the preferred and common stock. .
Thus the preferred stock practically offers the safeguards and advantages
of a first mortgage bond, coupled with an earning capacity as great as that of
the common stock. ' .
The undersigned has obtained a short option on a block of this preferred
stock which he now offers at par, $10.00 per share. This option terminates
August 31st, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be
advanced by the Company to ,3! 2.50 per share.
