The darky still pursued the boy until
they resched a point within twenty feet Of

toward him. Kennedy called out 10 Fletcher
to go back, but he continued 10 advance

Aestheticism Declining.

Aestheticism has run its race in Eng
land. A London letter in The Liverpool
Mercury thus records its downfall:
Everybody is remarking. and few peo-
pie fail to lie astonished at the sudden
disappearance of the aesthetics from good
society. The movement seems to have
worn itself out completely, so far as
dress is concerned. The erstwhile fash
ionable colors, the whilom remarkable
shapes, the strange and affected alti-
tudes are things of the past. It's vulgar
cow to wear sage green. 1t is no longer
elegant to be limp; and those peculiar
garments, designed. like the robe of
Vivian, rather to express the figure than
conceal, have been rendered obsolete
by the hideous and graceless crinolette.
In the very homes where it was necess-
airy to be either Japanese or early Eng
lish, or at least quaint to find a foot
ing, the face is now set against mere
eccentricity'"

Postal Cards.

When postal cards were first issued,
about six years ago, their novelty pro-
voked some fault finding. and they
were made fun of as ''stingy," ''shab-
by" "unsafe." etc. But they were
cheap, and the people used them and
the critics soon followed the example of
the people, now, Gas an exchange re-
marks), the postal card has only two
enemies-the man who receives duns on
1t, and the manufacturer of writing pa
per.
The little postal causes a decrease of
from twelve to fifteen million dollars ev-
cry year in the business of the writing
paper trade of this country.
Postal cards are made at Holyoke and
forty men are continually employed in
their manufacture. The card board is
furnished in packages of three thousand
each, and every sheet is made into for
ty postals. Three presses are kept 60
ing night and day. A machine Sits the
sheets into strips of ten cards each and
these in turn are cut into single cards,
dumped in piles of twenty-five each,
when they are packed by girls, in paste,
board boxes, containing five hundred
cards. A government officer is con-
stantly on hand to see that no pilfering
of cards is done. The Holyokc manu-
factory turns out about one million
cards a day.
