large eyes of soft brown are the last
things you or the woman would wish to
conceal. The costume Is II remnant of
the Saracenic days, and is one Of the
many signs of Moorish descent
This is very clumsy description of Il
most fascinating garment. Ii gives pi-
quaint interest even to an ugly woman
and Providence for our sins still permits
ugly women-but it adds charm to pret
ty women that is quite bewildering.
Mind, this is not my opinion that ven
ture to give, but that of European ladies'
whom have consulted. Perhaps might
not have noticed them otherwise.
All the Maltese ladies', Ms well as the
common people, wear the faldetta to

pean hats are gaining ground with the
higher classes. hm speaking ut length
OF this costume because groups of these
figures in the street or thronging the
churches are the feature Of the town,
The faldetta is always worn with n black
skirt, but some bright color is often worn
about the neck, or for the bodice, togcth-
er with heavy gold necklaces, and the
glimpses of this half hidden warmth of
color that the faldetta permits in contrast
with the prevailing black, is very effect
i've.
1t Is perhaps the most coquettish de-
votional garment ever invented by the
nature of the sex. l have
given much reflection (while We are wait
ing here for n steamer to Gibraltar) to
the reason of its peculiar charm, and
think 1t lies i'll this, that it gives to Its
wearer the mystifying appearance of
demure nun anda dangerous adventures.
How much the large, soft brown eyes
and the clear creamy Moorish complexion
have to do with it is scientific question,
But l am getting beyond my depth.
What wish to say is that if the sex wish
to look both devout and fascinating, the
faldetta is the best invention of their
genius. | am told, however, that il is
not comfortable garment in warm
climate, and that the wearing it tends to
produce badness And when we get to
bald woman it is time to change the
subject.

The Father OF Thousand Children.

An old man had just died in Vienna
whose name deserves to be chronicled
in al lands for the singular good
ness of his life. Frederick Reidt has
been known i'll his own city as the Faith
er of the Orphans" for nearly half
century. He was man of considerable
means and was happily married, but it
was Il great grief to him and his wife that
| they continued to be childless. Herr
Reidt said to his wife: 'Since we are
not to have children of our own, can We
not be parents to some of those that are
| fathcrless and motherless?" He was
man Of action, and began at once to carry
his conception into practice. He com
menced with taking fatherly charge Of
two OF three orphans, but his zeal and re-
putc increased to such an extent that, at
the time Of his death, he was the legal
guardian of more than thousand iather-
less children. Those whom he adopted
III this manner were not tittully taken up
and then let drop, but he kept conscien-
tious watch and ward over them, from
their early education until their mar
riaGc, or their start in adult life at the
close Of their apprenticeship He never
sought fame or publicity. and took 10
credit to himself for his devotion to
tuOse VINO uhu lao NATURAL cltllN upon INN.
Now that he is departed. however, every
one speaks of his singular life, its quiet
ness, and yet restless energy, its con-
scientiousn,ss and severe fidelity to his
self-imposed obligations. He began by
asking us favor to be accepted as the
honorary guardian" OF two or three or
plans, and the calling which he had thus
taken up for his own satisfaction, as he
put 1t. was in time regarded by many OF
his fellow citizens MS sort of official
occupation which he was bound to fulfil.
Herr Reidt had m especial tenderness
toward illegitimatc children who, from
no fault of their own, started life under a
heavy shade, His courage was equal to
his tenderness When he could discover
the father OF an illegtimate child, he
would seek out the man and deal plainly
with him as to the duty which he had
incurred by his sin. In this way, he
often compelled fathers to look after
their own children, who would otherwise
have fallen under the hard discipline Of
the official guardians OF such unwelcome
additions to the population,

Royal Peach Eatcrs.

Alexis Lefere, who has Just died at
Paris, Chevalier of the Legion of Hon
or, member of dozen learned societies
and millionaire, began life as Il garden
er's laborer. He was the creator of the
great peach "industry Of Montreui,
where his gardens had long been famous
for the oare with which each individual
peach was tended and brought to a profit
able maturity-six and eight francs being
by no means extravagant price. Louis
PHILIPPE was among the visitors to Mon
treuil, where having admired some OF the
choicest products and asked the price, he
whispered, "Send me two dozen of the
six-franc peaches, bnt not word of it to
my ministers His caution, perhaps,
was justified, since Theirs wife was
known to cut n peach in four quarters to
regale her husband, herself and two hon
ored guests. On. B.-To neatly cut
peach unless it be clingstone, cutit round
to the kernel and gently revolve the two
hemispheres in opposite directions. }
When Napoleon III, and the Empress
visited Montreuil there was no question
about price, but both sovereigns helped
themselves literally. The proprietor
made no demur knowing the payment
would be made in due course, but when
he beheld the personages Of the imperial
suite joining in the feast he could not
contain himself and shouted: Hi;
hold on, gentlemen The aides.d camps
peaches are over there on the other
sids!"

This was the whole OF the speech, and

uttered before now by Samuel J. Tilden,
Horatio Seymour, Thurlow Weed, JEFF
ferson Davis, Alexander II. Stephens,

taken.
1t is all the more meritorious in Re-
publican to become Sage because it is
not so easy MS for Democrat. The Dem
ocrats have inherited great stock of
purer days" of the country relating to
such matters as Capitalization, the three
departments of government, teach inde-
pendent within lite own sphere" and the
necessity of government being divorced
from connection with private business,
which Republicans care little or nothing
about and in which the history of the
party prevents their taking much interest.
This fact would probably make it very
hard for many of the most eminent Re-
publican leaders on retiring from politics
to set up as Sages, much as they may
some day like to. 1t is impossible TO
Mr.. Blaine as Sage, or Mr..
Robeson, or Senator Logan. 1t needs
man who has been generally looked upon
not merely as brilliant orator OF dash
ing administrator, but one accustomed to
the expression of what is believed in
political circles to be thought. Nothing
the younger politician so admires in an
older one as thought, provided it does
not interfere with his regular pursuits,
and the character in politics he most re-
veres is consequently the Sage. The
Sage need not be good man. Neither
Jefferson Davis, nor Mr.. Tilden, nor
Thurlow Weed is Leiieved to be perfectly
good, but he must be deeply thought
full man; and that Mr. Conkling should
now in his retirement lie preparing to
think is most significant fact. That no
Sage should be able to do this without
having it generally believed that he must
be gong to run for office is one of the
risks of the occupation which the true
Sage cannot avoid, though it must sad
len him.
