For Sleeping Car Wear.
For summer sleeping car wear noth-
lng is better than a. gown of black
India silk. These are made on- the
model of the Empire night dresses, full- ,
er, of course,.and are finished at the
bottom with a deep hem. A loose grad.
uated ruffle slopes over the shoulder;
the sleeves are loose and full. The
same garment is converted into a good
appearing room gown by a. double
ruche of colored chiffon set around the
low throat, short tabs of lace falling
at each side of the chemisette front.
It the journey is to be across the con-
tinent, it will be wise to have a simi-
lar gown of flannel, as the trip over
the plains is apt to be very warm,
while the mountain rides will be many
degrees colder.
White Grenadines.
.Very handsome were some cream and
snow-white grenadine gowns at a re-
cent fashionable gathering, that were
made upon colored silk foundations—
pink and green looking particularly
well as sheath slips. The narrow foot
trimming, set on very full and edged
:with narrow lace, was finished at the
top with tiny knots of ribbon matching
the foundation skirt in color, these
being “spaced." On another gown was
a gathered two-inch ribbon placed be-
tween the frill and the overdress, em-
phasizing the color at the hem. The
wide ribbon ruche is too heavy for
most of the diaphanous gowns, upon
which it appears.
‘ Little I‘lood Necessary.
P It is p0ssible in these days to fit out
a bedroom with the use of very little
wood. To the brass bedsteads are now
added brass dressing-tables and cheval
glasses mounted in brass. Clothes trees
of ,brass or nickel are also seen, and
towel racks of either metal may be
had. The dressing-tables are mounted
in; brass and have a glass top, the
drawers being 'of wood \with brass
trimmings. Wicker sofas piled with
cushions, a wicker table, and a low
chair continue the elimination of the
heretofore indispensable woods.

l; 4“ 324‘s:- Net Toilets. P’
The lace and net toilets prepared
for the gay vacation season before us
are extremely fascinating in their
' dainty beauty. Sometimes the gown is
all lace or all net; again, there is an
elaborate melange ‘of lace, net, ribbon
ruches and bands of insertion. For ex-
ample, a Doucet gown of satin Striped
net has both skirt and bodice trimmed
with bands of lace entre-deux. The
sleeves are usually of the lace laid
over chiffon before it 'is put upon the
silk lining—to give a very delicate ef-
fect—and very often the silk is omit-
ted altogether.
To Prevent Dryness of the Scalp.
A little warm glycerine rub-bed into
the scalp with the fingers after the
hair is shaken out counteracts the ten-
dency to dryness which is common to
some heads. After such treatment
there should be persistent brushing.
This dryness of the scalp is one of the
most prolific sources of dandruff, and
anyltreatment that secures some oil to
the hair will have a tendency to miti-
gate the other evil as well. An excel-
lent wash for the hair is made of rose-
mary tea, to which may be added a lit-
tle whiskey.
Dainty, Lawn Blouses.
Sheer white lawn blouses will be
very fashionable this summer. They
may be in serpentine form, with long
ends, or. follow the conventional lines
of the blouse, with a fitted back and
deep yoke, formed of alternate rows
of fine linen lace insertion and strips
of embroidered lawn. Other waists for
morning wear are made of the French
zephyrs woven on Scotch looms. They
come this year in exceedingly pretty
patterns and colors, and the corded
and tufted zephyrs are first choice.
For Annemie Peopjle.
A physician prescribing for an an-
aemic person insisted that thin bread
and butter should be eaten freely.
This, it was explained, was to secure
the use of a large amount of butter,
as more slices would necessarily be
consumed. It is a dietetic fact that
good sweet butter spread upon bread
is more digestible than the plain cream
taken clear. Just as bread seems to
assist milk in its digestion, so it does
butter. '

PEACE COMMISSION AT WORK.
Two Sessions Held in Which Cuban
Debt Were Discussed.
Paris. Oct. 11.—The United States
peace commission held two sessions
yesterday.
It is believed that the questions’now
being discussed relate to Cuba and
the adjustment of the debt of the is-
land. \ '
The Paris newspapers show anxiety
in behalf of; the Spanish cause. Le
Journal des Debats on Saturday said
the Philippine question was being corr-
sidered by the joint commission, and
the Matin on Sunday followed with a.
similar statement, alleging that an un-
derstanding regarding Cuba. and Porto
Rico was possible, “as the United
States claims everything and Spain re:
fuses nothing, but the difficulty arises
on the question of the Philippine is-l
lands.”
The Matin closed its remarks on the
subject by expressing the belief that
‘~'we shall see the republic, which has
just shown herself to be so brave and
strong, show herself also to be gener-
ous.” , .-
In"view 'O‘f‘th'e 'factflthat the joint
commissions have not yet considered
the Philippine question, the Paris pa;
pers appear to Americans to be stret—
ching a point to adjure the American
commission to' treat Spain generously.
The Gaulois this morning reviewed
the political situation and draws' the
conclusion that “between the alleged
Republican purpose of expansion and
thereto,
President McKinley and the United
States commission will be inspired af—
ter all with the sentiments of gener-
osity which are the honor of victorious
nations.” ,
”The keynote of these expressions-
seems to have been sounded by a Spa—
nish diplomat to an American here last
week, the diplomat saying that the
United States should be generous to
Spain.
That remark and the utterances of
the French press give to each other
added significance.
M. Jules Cambon, the former French
ambassador at Washington. has arriv—
ed in Paris. He will’remaln here for
two months.

SAMPSON OR SCHLEY? '
Navy Board to Pass Upon Credit for the
Destruction of Cervern’s.
New York, Oct. 11.—The navy board '
which is to pass judgment on the ques-
tion of the credit for the destruction
of Cervera’s fleet off Santiago, July 3,
reassembled yesterday. This board was
appointed by the secretary of the navy
before Rear Admiral Sampson went
to Havana as a member of the evacua-
tion committee, the navigators of all
the armor-clads which participated in
the fight, as also Lieutenant Comman-
der Wainwright, of the Gloucester, and
the commanding officer of the Vixen
comprising the board.
j‘n'assignment of the ships to various
duties and a transfer to other ports
of some of the navigating officers made
a postponement of the hearing neces-
sary. By order of the department the
board reconvened yesterday on the ar—
mored cruiser Brooklyn, at the navy
yard, across the river, and the hearing
was secret.
Camp “'ikofl"s Closing Days. .
Montauk Point, L. 1., Oct. 11.——Orders
were received at Camp \Vikoff Mend-<1);r
for the Seventh infantry, the only reg-
iment here, to leave camp.
It has been assigned to the depart-
’ment of the lakes, and will do garrison
duty at Fort Wayne and Fort Brady,
Mich. _
The transportation of the regiment is
being arranged for, and the command
will probably get away within the
next day or two.
Five hundred mules, two hundred
horses and one hundred and seventy—
five army wagons are to be sent to the
government corral at St. Asaph, near
Washington. _
The Long Island railroad expects to
transport them all to New York before
to—night. I
Gov. Tanner and Coal Strikers.
Springfield, 111., Oct. 11.—-Gov,ernor
Tanner has had a sharp controversy
with Manager Lukens of the Chicago
Vlrden Coal Company.
Mr. Lukens said that he proposed to
import labor to supplant strikers and
would’operate his mine, if necessary,
at the muzzles of Winchesters.
Governor Tanner said that he would
not send troops to assist in running
mines with imported labor, and if op-
erators attempted to use Winchesters
he would send the National Guard to
Virden to disarm all.
Governor Tanner also said that if op-
erators persisted in employing imported
labor at Pana he would withdraw the
troops from there.
lilore Dreyfus Forgeries-
Paris, Oct. 11.—-M. Clemenceau, In an
article in the Aurore, asserts that let- .
ters purporting to have been written
by the German emperor figure in the
Dreyfus dossier, not indeed as origin-
als, but as photographs.
These, he declares, were-palmed off
as authentic upon M. Hanotaux, for-
merly minister of foreign affairs, who
paid 27,000 francs for them. M. Clem-
enceau challenges contradiction of
these statements.
British Squadron’s Cruise. .
London, Oct. 11.—In View of the situ-
ation in Crete, Egypt and China, it is
significant that the British channel
squadron will start for a two months’
cruise in the Mediterranean on Octo-
ber 15. _ .
The squadron has been ordered to
take a six months’ supply of stores,
which is unprecedented.

HOLIDAYS IN MANILA.
Every Year.
Manila loves holidays. At one time
there were over forty in each year.
The number had been sadly di-
minished, though there are still thir-
teen left. Each pueblo has its saint.
and on that Saint’sday the inhabi-
tants give themselves over, as the}?
do on the great holidays of the
church, to music, fireworks, cock-
fighting, processions, etc. , .
Almost all these processions took
place at night, and the effect was
most picturesque. There would be a
line of marchers, men, women, and
children, walking in single file on each
side of the street, every one with a
lighted candle in his hand. At inter-
Vals, in the middle of the road, would
come images of the Saviour, the Vir-
gin, and the saints, borne on the
shoulders of from ten to thirty men.
surrounded by priests, and preceded
by a band of music. Some of the im—
ages were covered with diamonds and
other precious stones, said to be enor-
mously valuable. In these cases there
was always a guard of soldiers with
fixed bayonets about the image. Of-
ten there would be thousands of peo-
ple walking in these processions; and
all the .while it was moving, tens of
thousands of rockets and bombs
would be fired. These rockets and
bombs are home-made. The rockets
consist only of a joint of bamboo filled
with powder, exploding with great
noise, but with little light. The bombs
are simply a handful of powder tight-
ly wrapped with hemp. They cost a
mere trifle, but make a great noise,
and no fiesta is complete without
plenty of them> . .
The most curious procession is par-
ticipated in only by natives and the
poorer mestizos. It takes place, if I
remember rightly, during Holy Week.
Everyone
walking in the procession is robed in
his grave-clothes. The garment is a
long, loose gray robe .with a hood,
and it Comes to the ground. The ef-
fect is very strange. and as the peo-
ple go they repeat continually: “San-
ta Marin, Madre de Dios, ora pro
nobis!” It may seem strange that
grave-clothes are provided before they
are needed; but in Manila they are
considered a prime necessity, and
every native owns those clothes, even
if he is bore of all other. The ordin-
ary dress of the native man is trous-
ers and shirt of “piecegoods” (colico),
the shirt being worn outside the trous-
ers. On holidays they wear a shirt
made of “pins,” which is an expensive
material. Native servants wear the
some articles, but they must be of
spotless white; and very suitable and
nice-looking it is though I suppose
that the idea of being driven by u
coachman so dressed would shock the
habitues of Central and Hyde Parks.
A curious freak of custom was that
native servants were required to
sult if a Chinese servant appeared be-

A‘ W’ell-to-Do Lad y.
From the time that she was
crowned, Queen Victoria has been in
receipt of- an income from the govern-
ment. amounting to about $3,000,000 21
year. .From this she pays all the ex-
penses and salariesrof her household,
charities, pensions, and other charges
imposed upon the sovereigns, be they
more or less. She has $300,000 per an-
num for pocket money, of which no
account is ever asked. The salaries
of her household amount to about
$600,000, and the other expenses to
about $750,000 per year; $60,000 is
given her for “bounties and alms,”
and $6,000 for annuities and pensions.
In addition to this, the other members
of the royal family receive annuities
amounting to $865,000. '
From the duchy of Lancaster the
Queen receives about $450,000 a year,
which she has no need to touch at all.
and probably invests in bulk as fast
as it comes to her. This income of it:-
sclf, since she has been upon the
throne, with interest, would aggregate
$40,000,000.—Chautauquan.
Rainbow Colors Didn’t Match.
A woman told a story the other day
of those bygone times when every-
thing in a woman’s costume must
match, “especially in children’s
clothes,” said the woman. “Sash.
stockings, neck ribbon, hair ribbon——
all were required to be of not only the
same color but the same shade. I
was very particular in this respect,
and my little daughter was naturally
imbued with the same faith. One day
when we were visiting in the country
a shower came up which, clearing
away as suddenly as it had come, left
a beautiful rainbow behind it. ‘Como
quick,’ I cried to my little daughter.
‘and see the rainbow.’ Now, it hap-
pened that the child had never seen a
rainbow before. ‘Dcar me!’ she cried
at the first glance: ‘Violet, indigo
blue, green, yellow, orange and red.
What horrid taste! Why, nothing
matches? ”——-Philadelphia Press.

Stopped-the Electric our'rem By Petting ,
a Seat AQ'oss the Wires.
15 little 13-year-old Pawnee county
miss, Berth-a Leonard, has lately given
the.Western Union and Postal Tele-
graph companies an unlimited amount
of trouble in a most unique and pe-
culiar way. Bertha's daily duty was
to herd and watch‘a’large drove of
her father’s cattle, whose range was
near the Western Union and postal
telegraph lines.
For some time past at irregular in-'
ervals during almost every day these
lines absolutely failed to work, and
the trouble seemed to be somewhere
in the vicinity of where this girl
ranged her father’s cattle, but, try as
the line repairers would it could not
be definitely located. Finally it was
discovered that Bertha, in order to get
a better view of the herd, had driven
railroad spikes into a telegraph pole,
so that she could climb it, and that
she would, whenever she got weary
watching the cattle from the ground,
climb the pole, pull up a. board by
means of a cord. place it across the
wires. seat herself on the board, and
spend an hour or two watching the
herd from her uniquely ~ improvised
elevated station. Whenever the board
happened to be damp or wet, and the
frequent rains this year have kept the
board wet most all the time, it de-
stroyed the electric circuit and prac-
tically cut off all communication be-
tween Denver and Kansas City.
When discovered and informed. of
the damage she was doing to the busi-
ness of the telegraph lines, Bertha was
greatly surprised, and was apparently
utterly ignorant of the gact that her
seat on the wires inter ered in ,the _
slightest degree with the working of
the lines—Kansas City Times.

Thirty-Six Years As afiisoner Preferable
To Two Hours Hiding.
The writer remembers once riding
out of San Francisco over the South
el'n Pacific in a day coach that was
like the land. of fire, the month being
August. At an outer station of' the
city of Oakland 3. man who looked poor
but not proud, came aboard, and mak-
ing down the aisle, ducked under two
seats which were set back to back.
“Some poor devil who is broke and
wants to beat his way out of this burn-
ing country,” one of the other pas-
sengers said. “Let’s help him.”
So when the conductor came in 0v-
ery one of us found something wrong
with his ticket and kept the official
angrily busy for half an hour longer
than his usual time, so that he had to
bolt without wasting a moment in
looking for stowaways.~ At Port Costa
we began to heartlabo-red breathing
under the seat and twenty miles fur-
ther there was an eruption and out of
the volcano of overturned cushions
'came our hidden protege. '
”Gentlemen,” he said, “when I was
sentenced to forty years at San Quen-
tin I thought it was tough, and at the
first chance I broke. If I could only
reach Sacramento I would be all right,
for I have friends there. But, gentle-
men, without consulting the map, I
believe I am safe in saying that Sac-
ramento is at least two hours distant.
I have only a mere bagatelle of thirty-
six years to put in at' the prison, and
I think that, after all, considering the
weather and two more hours under
them seats, I’ll just sit up here like a
gentlemen and meet Sheriff Bill Brice
when he comes aboard andgo back
to the easy job. I prefer the thirty-
six years to the two hours.”—Chicago

They. Were Efiioacious in Banishing
Roaches and XVater Bugs. .
The latest and most ingenious way
of getting rid of roaches and water
bugs we have heard of is related of a
citizen of Schenectady. whose kitchen
was infested with them.
A servant, hearing that toads were
an antidote, caught three ordinary
hop toads and put them in the kitchen.
Not a roach or water bug, it is stated,
can now be found in the house. The
toads have become domesticated, nev-
er wander about the-house, and are
so cleanly and inoffensive that there
is no objection to their presence.
Another'use for toads is to employ -
them for insect destroyers in the gar-
den. T-hey are determmed enemies of
all kinds of snails and slugs, which it
is well known can in a single night
destroy a vast quantity of lettuce, car-
rots, asparagus, etc. To‘ads are also
kept in vineyards. where they devour
during the night millions of insects
that escape the pursuit of nocturnal
birds, and might commit incalculable
havoc on the buds and young sheets
of the ”vine. In Paris toads are an
article of merchandise. They are kept
in tubs and 'sold' at the rate 0f.tw0
