American Women tsEdave the Pull',
Over English Women.


OF women's dress the London Daily Ne.rs
says:
The poets idea that love, which is of mans
life thing apart is woman's whole existence. is
more sentimental than true. There is only one
thing which. if it may not truly be said to be
her whole existence, is yet never very far from
her attention, and that is dress. This is neither
a hard nor a cynical saying From her first
conscioushour to her last a woman takes interest
in her garments and the garments of her friends
The study of dress is like every other study. 1t
must be taken seriously il it is to be taken sue
cessfully. woman who wants to be orig inally.
beautifully and becOmingly dressed must either
give herself into the hands of an artist who
Will do her thinking for her, or she must give
nearly the whole of her own time and attention
to the business. A great many do neither the one
nor the other; hence the rarity Of really we'll
dressed womene The ideal Of most English
women is to find modiste who will take all
trouble off their hands, and will dress them.
This can be easily enough done, but it is an eX-
pensive process, and in that direction again
English women set themselves a limit. The
price an American fashionable woman will read
lily give for CONNECTION of distinguished taste
would strike horror into the breast of an Eng
lisll matrOn. American women are unQueStion-
ably the best dressed nowadays. Why it should
be so is question too profound to enter on
here. Much and subtle ANALYSIS would have to
be expended on that problem. One explanation
which seems to lie on the surface may be that
while deciding with authority on questions Of
taste, and fully competent to Judge them. they
bring to the business a certain originality Of
conception and national freshness of idea which
pervades the result, making it not only charm
ing in itself, but exactly suitable to the wearer
American women those at least who visit
Europe-have generally the pull over English
women in money matters, and, as we said be-
fore, they not only have the money to spend,
but like spending it on dress But, besides
that, there is discernment of the fitting. hap
piness of choice. which they bring to. rather
than tind in, the studios of high art in dress"

The Prevailing Ignorance Of AstrOn-
O1nys


We have been repeatedly struck by the COM
parative ct might have been said more than
Comparatively ignorance which prevails, even
among educated people; as to the nomenclature
and position of the stars. There are many who
would be grievously scandalized at the idea of
not being able to call trees or flowers by their
right names, but who seem very little concern
ed by having to admit similarincompetency as
to the beautiful luminaries of the skies. They
would be indignant at the supposition that they
did not know an oak from an ASH or could pos
sibly mistake cOwslip for primrose; but they
have no hesitation to confess that they do not
know the difference between the two dogs that
have been for SO many ages keeping guard i'm the
heavens; and if possibly the pre-eminent bril-
liancy of Sirius, or the magnificent cOnfgura-
ton OF Orion. may have awakened enough of
curiosity to ascertain what they are called, they
would still be at an utter loss to discriminate
between Capella and Arcturus, or to say in
what constellation or at what time they are to
look for the Pleiades, whose existence they can
hardly ignore. 1t is not easy to account for
such degree Of uninstructed heedlessness One
reason possibly may be that the knowledge of
natural objects which makes its way by such
gentle and imperceptible approaches into the
minds of intelligent children is acquired by day
rather than by night, and that their rambles
with parent and nurses In sunshine hours famil-
iarize them insensibly with many things Of
which they would remain ignorant il they were
visible only during their hours of rest. But.
however, we may try to explain it, 80 it is, that
what was termed in a previous generation the
diffusion of useful knowledge" seems not to
have included popular acquaintance with the
sky, and that the maps which were published
under that title and to promote that object have
been much more serviceable to the express stu
dent of astronomy than to educated society in
general. Whether such a state of ignorance or
iasouciance may be equally prevalent in other
countries we never had an opportunity Of ascer-
tanning; but there can be no doubt Of it among
ourselves, aud as little question can be made
that it is discredit to the prOfessed intellectual
prOgre6A of the age=N1fatre

miserable Russian villages that are dotted every

the villages showed much more life and ANNA

voices, pass back and forth along the village
streets, or are driven in procession around the
little wooden church. The older peasants, the
relatives of bride and bridegroom, stay Inside
and get dead drunk In honor of the occasion.
In one pOsthOuse We were caused long delay
by the old postmaster having drunk himsefsilly,

ney Of thousand miles the number of
travellers We met could be counted on the
fingers. At one station VIC found Russian
officer and his wife occupying two sofas of the
guest room. At another we met an entire
family who had spent six weeks on the road
from Irkutsk to TrOisk. The husband, a man
of about forty, had occupied a post as cashier in
bank at lrkutsk; and was going to st. Peters
burg to seek new and more genial climate
He was accompanied by his wife, little child
and an old nurse. One child, little girl, he
told US, had benn taken sick at Krasnojarsk,
and there she had died and had been buried At
another station we met an old government
employee, tOttering and feeble. who had spent
thirty years of his life in Irkutsk, and had
finally obtained influence enough to get himself
removed to st. Petersburg, where he hoped to
end his life among his friends. He was q sor-
rOwful looking wreck, and had had the msfor-
tune to be robbed on his way by fellow
traveller. Rarely. indeed, does q petty official
ever return from his far Siberian post. 1t Ia
easy enough to get sent out, but only one in q
thousand can ever save money enough to return
