London and give an exhibition game there, and
Afterwards reach London by Saturday, August

gramme VIII be followed on other grounds in
London. In all the above ten days or two
weeks viii be spent in and about London. Next

pale lemon tea-rose and Rrts perl. gloves win be
the soft, undressed kid gloves. In gray, buT or

long armed and fastened by I'VE or SIX buttons.
Ladies In mourning are advised to wear dark,
invisible, plaincolored gloves, ns they DO not rub
other colored gloves are apt to do. To give the
hand slender, aristocratic appearance, the glove
should be Of one color with selfcoiored stitching
and without embroidery and should have long
wrists fastened by three buttons for general wear,
and BY six for full dress. or the fabric gloves,
cool and pleasant for summer, were those Of
French lisle-thread which are considered best ~
they are woven without seams Just a. Balbriggau
stockings are, while the English thread are
fashioned as kid gloves are-With four seams in
each finger. The black net mittens Of former

HALR-FACED PEOPLE.

A very curious exhibition to ethnologists Is
now, says the London Standard, to be seen at
the Lyric Hall, Great Portland street. 1t is q
hairy-faced man and his child the latter q
bright, smart, engaging infant of three and Q
half years old, over whore face and nose the
down of hair is already Shickly spreading. The
fathers face is-with the exception of the eyes
completely, we might almost say densely,
covered with fine, soft, brown hair of from
about four to five inches in length. Even the
ears are just as thickly covered, and with hair
of the same length as the forehead, cheeks,
and all parts of the face in fact, the whole
head of the man Is like that of q very long
haired and woolly-looking Skye terrier. The
effect is anything but prepossessing, nor do the
mans features tend to dispel this impression.
He is dressed as well-to-do Russian mujik,
and seems quiet enough, but at times Is said TO
be sullen and morose. When he and his son
were captured about year ago in the forest Of
Nostroma, in Russia, they were clad in skins.
They could speak no language of any kind |;
even now the man only speaks few words of
Russian, end does so with difficulty and re-
luctance. What they have been able to ascer-
tain from him is that the mother of his boy
died about three years ago; and this exactly
tallies with the tales Of the charcoal burners,
who assert that about that time. they used to
see at a distance hairy-faeed woman sucking
an infant, who fed ct their approach.
1t was not until this village tradition grew
into history that o real search was made,
which resulted in the capture Of this man and
his son. Neither would eat anything but raw
meat for some time. It has been supposed that
they are the relics of an extinct race, and the
extraordinary appearances Of the man would
almost justify this supposition; but the face of
the child, which is full Of intelligence is hardly
consistent with such theory. It Is deserving
of notice that neither father nor son have more
than four front teeth in the lower jaw, and
one single massive incisor in the upper. A
surgical examination has shown that no other
teeth have existed, or are likely to, and that
this peculiar deformity Is eongenial. The ap-
pearance of the father recalls the case Of the
''porcupineD man, who was exhibited in 1871,
and whose grandchildren were shown as late as
1902; these were covered with long, hairy
warts, which they shed every spring, as q stag
does his antlers. The race, however, died out,
and If the hairy-faced men should become ex-
tinct, too, they viii be no loss, In spite Of the
little bright-eyed boy, whose face Is already
like cyg1et when its plumage Is coming.

BOARDING. MADAME NILSSON

A New York letter, to the Boston Gazette,
says: Madame Nilsson Reuzeaud has changed
her quarters from the Clarendon to the Windsor
Hotel. She suddenly took the notion into her
head, and without as much as "'by your loave"
to Mr.. ..Strakosch, who foots the hotel bills,
and might, therefore, be supposed to take
some interest. Nilsson is a wflIful creature
and extrayagant. too, with other peoples
money. Mr.. Strakosch's contract with her Is
that he shall pay.an her expenses. That In
cludes hotel bill for self, husband, man SER
want and maid servant, horse and carriage,
amounting to $500 week. She has always
boarded at the Clarendon until this freak for
living at the Windsor took possession OF her.
It was Mr.. strakoseh's bargain TO pay her
expenses at "frst-chass" hotel, and no
one can deny but that the Clarendon meets
every requirement in that respect. You would
scarcely believe the items that Nine. Nilsson
has on her bill for Mr.. Strakoseh to nav.
There is washing, newspapers, and postage
stamps, all charged to him. Whether Nilsson
acknowledges any personal expenses at all is
4 question. She has already received for SER
Eices, this year, s64, 900 in gold, 80 one would
suppose that she might keep herself in
postage stamps. During recent visit to Phila-
delphia, the orchestra of the troope thought
they would give the prima donna q serenade; It
would be . good advertisement and let the peo-
pie know that Nine. Nilsson had really arrived
in town. They came and played under the
window at the Continental, and were invited in
to champagne BY the fair cantstrice, and they
drank and were merry. The next day Stra-
kosch received Q bill Of $50 for champagne.
While out in Chicago, Nilsson wanted to attend
the theater; so she took box and Q carriage,
and invited her friends, and sent the bill to Mr..
Strakosch. No wonder that she has made
money and Strakosch has lost. His expenses
have been $500, 200, and hers nothing. That
he is poorer to-day by $4,000 than the day he
opened here last fall is not surprising to those
who know the ins and outs of the business.
Nine. Nilsson has nothing to DO with her money
but bank 1t or speculate with Il. Wher his
friends have expostulated with Mr.. strakosch
for paying Nilsson's ridiculous demands, he
would reply that Il was only few dollars, and
he would rather pay it than have the row that
would ensue If he should refuse. It is unfor.
tunate that an artist with Nflsson's reputation
should have such smallness. 1t may be that.
having been elevated from want to luxury, she
has not yet gotten quite use to the easy way she
can m axe money, which makes her as careful
of the pennies as she should be of the pounds.

The fatality which attends the families of
great men has often been noticed. In many
cases they have had no descendants at all,
while ia others the line has become extinct In
the second or third generation. Already there
are Indications that the name Of Bulaer Lytton
may be of short duration. His only surviving
grandson, the son of "0wen Meredith, !" re-
Gently died at Paris before completing his
second year. .. ..-... VII. -..

Silver gray is the fashionable color for April
costumes. The custom Of combining wooden stutfs
with silk Of the came color remains In vogue, and
the sleeveless basque with apron oyexskirt is still
seen as in the following French model: The

much admired, that's, with Q silk standing collar,
with turned-over points in front and three double

visiting and carriage toilet, and also for brides
travelling dress, to be worn when the ceremony is
performed. The bonnet should be o white chip

sent to the penitentiary from Lynchburg for
burglary, and who escaped therefrom more
than year since, was recently captured at
Pamplin's depot. after determined and des-

three reYolvers, and received several severe
wounds. He was thence conveyed to
Lynchburg, and yesterday evening brought
down and lod ged in his old place of coufine-

he made Lynchburg his headquarters, and
on more than one occasion set at defiance
the efforts made to capture him.
