TIE FASCIYAIING FALDETT.1.

Charles Du6ley Warner in The Hvf'ord CourGnt
On first sight of the women OF Malta, gIidlng
about the streets in black, YOU think they have
thrown their skirts over their heads. But they
have not. The fGide.fd Is combination OF hood ana
cape Take black silk apron, gather 1t close at
the TOP with several runnlnSs and put a whaeDOne
through one side at the edge, as to form hood.
This sort OF hood is then thrown over the head the
gathers coming at one side, drawn so closely
that II makes a curve, and the apron falling
OblIQuely across the back. Ii can be drawn across
the face so as to conceal everything except the
eyes And the large eyes Of soft brown are the last
things you or the woman would wish TO conceal.
I be costume a remnant OF the Saracenlc days,
and is one of the many signs Of Moorish descent.
THIS Is q very clumsy description OF most las
cinatlng garment. IL gives a pIquant interest even
to an ugly wOman-and Providence for our sins still
permits ugly wOmen-bUt IL adds a charm to pretty
women that is quite bewderng. Mind, this Is not
my opinion that / venture TO give. but that OF
European ladies whom have consulted. Perhaps
might not have noticed them otherwise.
All the Maltese ladies, well the common
people, wear the faldetta 10 church. though on
other occasions European hats are gaining
ground with the higher classes l am speaking at
length OF this costume because groups Of these
figures in the street thronglng the churches are
the feature of the town. The faldetta Is always
worn with black skut, but some blight color IS
often worn about the neck, or Tor the bodice, to-
gether with heavy gold necklaces and the glimpse
of this half hidden warmth OF color that the
faldetta permits in contrast with The prevailing
coquettish devotional garment ever invented by the
contradictory nature of the SEX. have given much
reelection while are waiting here for a steamer
10 Gibratarl to the reason OF is peculiar charm,
and think it lies IN this, that gfves TO It's wearer
the mvstlfyng appearance OF dcmurc nun ana
dangerous adventures. How much the large, soft
brown eyes and the clear creamy Moorish COM
pleXion have to do with IL Is sclentine question
But / am getting beyond my depth. Nhat WISH
10 say is that il the sex wish 70 look both deyout
and fascinating the Ialdetta is the best invention
OF their genius. am told however that II IS not "a
comfortable garment in a warm climate, ana tHaI
the wearing 1t tends TO produce baliness. Ana
when We get to q bald woman 1t is time to change
the subject.

But a sudden whisper holds me
Though dare not look behind.

PFTROLETM FOX FTEL.

Recent trials for burning crude petroleum for
generating steam for steam vessels seem TO
indicate that we may be on the eve OF marked
revolution in the use OF fuel tor obtaining
power. Enough has been done 10 demonstrate
The entire feasibility of substituting crude OIL
Tor coal. Despite all the ingenuity Of mar,
no system has yet been devised whereby coal
has been made TO yield in practice Its full
tbeoretic value as a fuel. In the locomotive
trials recently it was shown that the entire
products Of the consumption OF crude OIL,
atomizcd and heated by super-heated steam,
could be directly and economically applied to
producing power with a large saving ID labor
and stowagc Of coal. In the case of steamer
burning petroleum., more than one-halt the
engineers force might he dispensed with. In
vessel like the SerVla there WOuld thus ne
saving in wages Of about $1,000 per month;
Of ra.ions amounting To 30 cents a day, or
about 500 a month besides the value OF the
quarter, which could be Used Is freight room.
IL addition there would be saving IN bunker
room of AT least % per cent III favor OF crude
petroleum. Steam could be raised III quicker
time with oil and at less cost than with coal.
Petroleum, it is claimed can be- applied 20
the present type Of boiler at trihmg expense,
and II is hoped that after another series Of ex-
permcuts by engineers OF the Navy, similar to
those recently conducted at the New-l ok

that in many parts OF the province Of Canton

Mcgowan expresses it, become marketable

colOnized by placing the ants on their upper

The Horse Stall.

The soundness and suppleness of the
harness horse depends very largely upon
his stall treatment and accommodations.
Casual thought would conclude that the
| abuse OF the horse consists in over work.
undue exposure and insufficient food.
But equally destructive with either one
OF these agencies is his stall mismanace,
ment.
Prominent among these abuses is the
excessive inclination of the stall. Tn
order to have rapid drainage, the grade
OF the stall is made so steep, that fire.
quently the horse is made very tired, by
practically thus standing uphill, while
he should, under more favorable circnm-
stances be resting. The weight of the
carcass is therefore thrown largely upon

times weakness, if not soreness over the
loins, and probably with equal frequency.
either wind gals, enlarged f1exors, swol-
len ankles, or incipient occult curbs and
spaVins. This is very unnatural stand
ing position of the horse in a state of
freedom. Whether protecting himself
from the storm, or standing still after
being satiated with grazing, he inyari-
ably either chooses level ground or DO
sition slightly descending, in which the
forehanded portion of the carcass is an
preciably lower than the hips. The
physiological reason of this position is
manifest upon careful examination. The
Office of the front feet and limbs while
in motion is largely to sustain the BODY.
to prevent it falling headlong. while the
hind limbs and feet prope1 it forward.
In a state of rest, therefore it follows
that the burden of. the weight can be
more comfortably sustained BY the front
limbs and feet When the BODY is
pitched at the reverse inclination by the
steep grade of the stall, the horse fire.
quently shifts the weight from one hind
limb to the other, in such a manner as
to indicate his discomfort. If he must
stand in narrow stall, it should be
made more nearly level, and the activity
OF the groom aroused to keep it scrupu-
lousy clean.-L1ve Stock Journal.
