Summer Dresses.

The summer dresses seen on the city
streets during the month of June
are of the simplest design and materials,
and owing to the great heat, full
dress Is scarcely worn even at elabor-
ate entertainments. The glace mohair
dresses with wide Hercules braid, or
with black or blue velvet trimmings, are
seen in the palest French gray shades
for driving toilettes, ut the races, at
church, and also at day receptions.
These are most often imported dresses,
M Worth and other Paris modistes de-
light in this lustrous fabric, and make
them up with great deal of white lace
about the corsage, and add to them n
bonnet of white lace, with little gray
velvet on the brim, and some gray tips,
or n marabout aigrette. This delicate
combination Of gray and white makes a
very refined and summary costume, but
only the palest clear shades of gray must
be used, as the deep steel tints have an
elderly look. Sometimes trimming of
silver beads is used to form n plastron
or n vest, and there may be rows of large
cut beads across a velvet vest, or else
many rows of dropping fringc-like orna-
ments that lap over each other and give
solid effect. A white Valcnciennes or
Oriental plastron fully gathered at the
throat is also liked in these pale gray
dresses. The mushroom shades are
next most in favor, and may be of the
mohair, with velvet of darker golden
brown, or else with the contrast of dark
maroon.red velvet for the vest, collar,
bracelet-like cuffs and for cross-bands on
tho left side of the lower skirt, where it
Is disclosed by the opening of the upper
skirt, and also broad velvet revers
down the right side, where it Joins the
back drapery. Other mohair dresses
are made in the severe tailor styles, with
merely rows of stitching for trimming,
or else they are combined with q little
waterod silk that appears only in the
skirt at the foot, and on the left side in
hollow organ pleats, and in some narrow

Risks of n Soldiers Life.

But what, after all, are the risks to
life in battle such as Waterloo? We
can form some notion Of this by sort
Of analogy, if we are content to accept
the statement of Marshal SAKE, said to
be a high authority on such matters,
who lays it down as truth, that for
each man killed in battle the weight of
an ayeraged-sized man is expended in
lead. This is said to have been verified
at Solfcrino, where the Austrians fired
S, 400, 900 rounds, and killed 1000 of the
enemy, which gives 1920 rounds per
man killed. Taking a bullet at ono
ounce weight, We have 1900 ounces, or
over eighteen stone-about equal to one
average man and half; so the Marshal
was under the mark. II these figures
are reliable it would seem that in battles,
us with pugnacious dogs, there is noise
mt of ali proportion to the amount Of
damage done. Chambers Journal.

"The next step was to make another
model inst four times as large, or one
fourth the size Of the real statue. This
ouarter-size model being finished, then
came the task Of making the full'size
model in plaster. But this had to be
made in sections. For instance, the
first section would include the base on
which the figure stood, the feet, and
the hem of the garment. The next sec.
ton would include circle quite round
the long flowing dress, just above the
hem. The third section would stand
above this and show more OF the folds

the knee. In like manner, the whole
figure would be divided into sections.
"The quartersize model was first
divided in this way, and then to lay out
the full.size plan it vas only necessary
to make a plan of each section four
times rs large as tho section actually
was in the model. Every part Of the
model was covered with marks or dots
for guides, and by measuring from dot

four times, and then transferring it to

CALVARY.

Captain Gender of the Palestine eXplora-
tion fund asserts that he has made new
and important discovery as to the site OF
Calvary and the holy sepulcher. The
tomb he has found is a solitary one, differ
inc from the old type of Hebrew tombs.
1t is near the spot where Stephen is sup
posed to have been stoned and, contrary
to the Hebrew style, contains after the
manner of the Greek tombs, shell where
two angels could have sat-''one at the
head. the other at the feet. The locality
now known as the Holy Sepulcher, and
covered with church of that name, is an
old Jewish tomb which WAS discovered III
the time of the Emperor Constantine.
Although popular sentiment has hohored
it as the tomb of Christ, scholars and ex-
plorers have not with amy great degree OF
unanimity so regarded it. One OF the great
objections against it is that it is within the
walls of the city, whereas the crueifixion
and burial are said to have taken place out
side the city.
