An OIA Sailors SUPERSTITION.

An incident which occurred few
years ago on an American vessel
which was nearing port after an eX-
tended voyage around Cape Horn illus
trates the superstitions that are held
by sailors. Among the crew of the
vessel was an old sailor who was noted
for his meanness. and who had openly
expressed desire that the voyage
might be prolonged in order that he
could have more wages when the port
was reached. The other seamen were
Satisfied with the amounts due them
and were anxious to get into port as
soon as possible. One evening, during
the dog watch, the penurious sailor
to whistle. He then beckoned to the
various points of the compass ahead,
as if to charm up head wind Will
the old sailor was occupied with MS in
carnations he was observed by one o
the ships boys, who Immediately
rushed into the forecastle and informed
the men that 'Patsey" was on the
fol ecastle head engaged in diabolical
attempt to charm up head wind. In
tense indignation took possession of
them. Curses were heaped upon his
head, and some of the holder ones pro-
posed throwing the Objectionable
wizard overheard. He had committed
sin which his shipmates could not
forgive. And yet the same men had
short time previously expressed them
selves as firmly of the belief that whist
ling or any other action on the part of
mortals could have no effect whatever
on the wind. .-NelO York Times.

straw pressed into shape, without
making the crown piece separately.
A very stylish combination in col
ors is gray and terra Gotta. Designs
in terra Gotta on a gray silk ground
are in rich fabrics and are used for
parts of costumes.
Among the newest bonnets IS the
"Manon." jaunty little object with
plated crown, and an oddly shaped
brim. 1t is made of straw, silk. o.
whatsoever else one may wish.
An oblong piece of satin or velvet
of contrasting color to the dress
may be sewed in the front waist with
the sleeves. 1t should be about two
inches in the shoulder.
Pretty black, white and colored
satin afternoon tea aprons are Dor
dered with lace and decorated on enc
curved corner with a motif of en-
broidery or a painted design.
Brooches for bonnet strings and lar
ger hair pins for holding on the bon
net are made in the same designs and
are brilliant with Strass stones that
can scarcely be distinguished srom
diamonds.
Foulard dresses of pale China blue
satin, i'll a lowered design, are trimmed
with ruffies of creamy lace and oXy-
died silver buttons. The small bon
net is of fancy straw, trimmed with
the same soft shade of blue satin and a
little russell brown velvet.

Women of every rank go bareheaded.
You meet them in the shop, at church
and on the streets, either entirely
without head covering or with only
light veil-like dress for their glossy
hair. 1t is said in all seriousness that
five years ago there was not one bonnet
in the city of of Mexico. Bonnets and
hats are still infrequently seen. Their
presence attracts attention rather than
their absence. Women of the lower
class shelter their heads with their
rebozos; their weather. sisters are
content and even proud TO expose their
raven tresses. Bonnets, it is almost
needless to say, are not required in this
climate for protection. The Mexican
style is wonderfully attractive. No
pen can do justice to the clothes of the
peon tribe. Mine will not attempt the
impossible If some of these poor
people were to proclaim that they had
uOIllDS W WcdI, IL WOulu D6 easy W
believe them. Individuals SO scantily
clad that they are called in the YER
nacular "skin men," are to be met
every hour in every city. The skin
NEST whom it has been my fortune to
see walked through the portals at
Queretaro the other day wearing only
a single garment, a pair of white cotton
pantaloons. A coarse white cotton
cloth, known as manta, is the staple
fabric for the dress of the commonalty.
The Queretaro "skin man" was a
aborer, the hour was noon and it was
hot. Accordingly he threw his shirt
carelessJy over one shoulder, instead
of carrying it on his back. Who would
find fault with semi-nudity that had
such an explanation? No Mexican
certainly would or did. Naked chill
dren playing in the sun and dirt are a
common sight. The urchiDs seem to
enjoy themselves.

Origin OF the Bagpipe.

It's apopular mistake which assigns
the origin of the bagpipe to Scotland
Long before it sounded 'the war-note
of Lochiei" it had been heard in various
countries and cities of Europe, partic-
ularly in Rome, where it was held in
great esteem; so much so, indeed. as to
have been thought worthy by Nero of
a place on the coin of the empire. He
even went further, for it is related of
him by Suetonius that, when his lie
and empire were in danger, he made a
VOW to the gods to the effect that if
they would only extricate him from his
difficulties he would condescend to
play in public on the famous baonine
Strangely enough, the bagpipe. though
supposed to be of Scotch growth and
manufacture, has not always been
looked upon with favor, in that conn
try. 1t is fact that the MAGISTRATES
of Aberdeen in 1880. discharged the
common piper going through the town
at nycht, or in the morning in tyne
coming, with his pype-it being an

A Chicago Romance.
" Kiss me. darling"

Kiss me, darling"
Richard Irwin had toiled slowly and
YEARLY up the two flights of stairs
that led TO the poor abode, and looked
long and lovingly into the pale but
beautiful face of the girl who had
given up parents, home and everything
that had made life happy to become
his wife. And as she stood there, her
soft white arms twined lovingly
around his neck and her deep hazel
eyes appraised to his. he saw that she
had been weeping, and around the wan,
dropping lips that in the happy bygone
days were so often raised, pouting
merrily the while, to be kissed by his
own, there were traces of pie. Richard
Irwin shuddered as he drew the 1.-THE,
yielding form still more closely 70 him,
and he wcpt bitter, scalding tears OF
pain TO think that his wife, Clytie
Stiggins, Boston born and bred-a girl
who habitually read Emerson and
whose essay on the theory OF horizontal
cleavage in red sandstone was only
excelled by her paper on the fauna Of
the pliocene period-should be reduced
to eating pie in the morning And
while he was wrapped III these painful
reveries ClytIe raised her head from
his bosom, One glance told her all.
"You are suffering, my darling.
She said. Can you not tell me, your
wife, of your sorrow?'
:" 1t is nothing" Richard replied,
kissing her tenderly.
Lemon pie, too" he murmured, in
hoarse, agoni4ed tones, rs his lips LETT
hers. "This is terrible"
Just then noise, as of some one
dragging himself slowly and YEARLY
up the stairs, was heard. Presently it
ceased, and messenger boy kicked

Richard Irwin sat, handed him tele-

with trembling hands and read the

A Russian Village.

A correspondent writes from Mos
cow to the New York Sun, Straigh.
from the Kremlin / went to village
about ten miles from Moscow. Two
long rows of small wooden houses,
about hundred all told, constitute
the village. A brick church, two
vodka shops, a country store, and u
village office supply tho religious,
social and political wants of the vii
lagers. There is no school. The peo-
pie, in their appearance. habits, opin-
ions and belief seem to belong to the
twelfth century. In their creed
Christian saints are intermixed with
pagan gods and COLLINS. The sorcerer
as yet vies with the Christian priest
in moral influence over them. The
old Russian republican institutions
vet battle all the efforts of modern
Russian despotism. Not the car, but
the mir (the people) rule in the vii
lage. The peasants ignore the i'm
peTial laws, and Judge themselves ac-
cording to their own common law.
The Russian village belongs to the
wooden kingdom. The peasants eat
WIFI NOOU6n SHOOIlS, 1IOiu NOOuen
cups, plates and bowls, and work with
wooden farm implements. Only the
AK, the implement of Russian in
,dustry and war, is OF iron. They use
wooden nails. | saw many wagons
made without single iron nail, or any
iron whatever. Through their whole
life they recite their prayers before
wooden images, and they put wooden
crosses over their dead. 1t looks as If
the mouiiks were celebrating a perpst-
ual wooden wedding.
The first scene that greeted mr. eyes
IN the village was Il woman carrying
two pals of water ON wooden yoke
and approaching house before which
four little children were playing, sur
rounded by chickens, dos and pigs
The woman wore a chemise of coarse
linen and a sarafan, a kind Of low-cut
dress, of coarse black wooden stuff
both of home make. She was bare
footed. The children wore single
shirt of coarse linen. Around the I'll.
lage office | found about dozen IDLE
peasants. They wore shirts and troAs
ers of coars linen, and soft lelt hats
cone-shaped, with narrow bTinls In
addition some had home made wnoleE
caftans and heavy boots.

Women as tslove-Makers.

Glove making is unique as an en-
ployment for women. 1t stands mid
way between the textile industries,
which can only be carried on in large
factories, and the ordinary hand-sew-
ing which is done by seamstresses at
home. For making a glove is a very
elaborate affair, consisting of many
processes, each of which has its own
special workmen and workwomen.
Out of the ten or fifteen thousand
women who are more or less constant
ly employed in making the gloves sold
by the great firm of Dent. Alcroft &
Co, only three or four hundred are at
work in the famous Worcester factory,
which may be regarded as the head
quarters of the English glove trade.
