The Cult of Uhcouv»ntionality. '
The careful cult of unconventional-
.ity began among the smart set in Lon-
don some years ago, and it has been
taken up and propagated by the smart
Set here. The most superficial signs
of it are the most harmless. To wear
bicycle clothes at formal dinner par—
ties, to drive about Newport without
a‘ hat, to smoke in a lady’s dl‘anllL’
room, to garnish one’s speech at all
times, with blackguard slang, to de-
scribe everything, from the weather to
of social function, as ”rotten”—these
are; the silly, though none the less rep-
rehensible signs of the truly uncon-
ventional person. A far more seri-
ous phase of it is seen in the change
that has been introduced in the sphere
of social intercourse between. the
sexes.‘
The finest of all the old conventions
was that which imposed upon a man
and upon a woman a certain reticence
with regard to various themes and va-
rious facts of life. This reticence
sprang from the respect which every
man was supposed to feel for every
woman and from the respect which
every woman was supposed to cherish
for herself. It was a part Of the
slight but very real barrier which ex-
perience had shown to be essential to
protect the woman, and to prevent a
brutalizing tendency in theman. And
it is the undermining of this conven-
tion that is to-d-ay a. cause for a very
serious reprehension.—New York Post.
The German Emoeror‘s Fad.
The kaiser has issued the most amaz-
ing sartorial decree to his officers, and
despair has seized upon hapless lieu-
tenants with limited incomes. For the
flat has gone forth that all officers are
henceforth—or until it shall please the
emperor to say otherwise—to wear
surcoats of palest gray, lined with
satin to match. The coats are beau-
.tiful .to look upon. but they are ruin-
ously delicate and costly. With their
moustaches turned around to their
noses, a l'Empereur and in their pig-
eon-breast colored overcoats, the gay
officers look like pretty comic opera
soldiers.
Clothes have become quite a fad
with the German imperial couple. The
emperor dresses gorgeously and adopts
the most resplendent uniforms on the
oldest occasions. while he has furtlwr
undertaken the supervision of his con-
sort’s wardrobe, she in turn demanding
that all her ladies shall be dressed
elaborately a la mode. Formerly the
German empress took very little heed
wherewithal she was clothed. She
liked tailor made gowns and rich evc-
ning dresses. but paid little attention
to details. Now all is changed. The
emperor will have his empress in the
height of fashion, and, it is said—but
rumor is not always reliable in mat-
ters concerning the kaiser—that he do
signs many of 'her costumes himself.-

How to Lacquer Brass.

A Shrewd Stu-misc.
The professor, who by the way,-was
of Irish extraction, was presiding over
the class in English literature. .
“What is the meaning and derivation
of the word fimpediment’?" _
“ ‘Impediment' from the «Latin
‘pedes,’ meaning ‘feet’ is something in
the way; literally ‘in the way of the
feet.’ ”
“Very well, someone give me a sen-
tence using the word correctly.”
“He had an impediment in his
speech.”
“That," quickly retorted thelprofess—
or, with the flash on his face which
always heralded his wit, “must have
been the man who never opened his
mouth without putting his foot in it.“
He Is to Be Piticd.
Among the. visitors to a fine art ex--
hibition were two old ladies from the
country. They were engaged in exam-
ining with great interest the statue of
a young Greek, underneath Which were
inscribed the words: “Executed in ter-
ra-cotta.”
“Where is Terra Cotta?” asked the
elder of the two, turning to her com-
panion.
“I haven’t the least idea," replied
the other. . ' _
"Ah, well,” oliserved the first speak-
er,'“it doesn’t much signify! The poor
man who was executed is not the less
to be pitied, wherever it may be."

The club is trying to foster canary

than 5000f the Dutch variety, togeth-

A Curious Fact About Trees.
It is a. curious fact that the roots

in their nature that, if a. tree be up-

selves the functions of roots, and the
exposed roots will in time bud and be-
come veritable branches.

THE JOSEPH LADUE ._
GOLD MINING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY OF YUKON.
PRICE OF SHARES TO BE ADVANCED AUGUST 3|. l898.
.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 Company also 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
reports 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. o - -

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 rata. 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 3tst, 1898, after which the price of the preferred stock will be .
advanced by the Company to $12. 50 per share. _ ,
This is the last opportunity to get the preferred stock at par, and
in time to participate in the autumn dividend. Shares will be alloted in the
