WHAT TO WEARIN AUGUST.
A Sensible Midsummer Costume fol
Gentleman Who STAY In Town.

The typical American should wear
during the Summer, underClothiDg of
very thin flannel, thin wooen half hose,
white canvas shoes, shirt and trowseIs s
OF light flannel-.he color according to
taste, and broad sombrero OF straw or
thin felt. A broad strap should confine
the trowsers at the waist, replacing sus.
penders. The shirt should have rOl-
ling collar, with ieweled button or a
loose scarf, according to the taste ard
means of the wearer. A pocket in the
bosom of the shirt should hold hand
kerchicf. A coat of the same material as
the shirt and trOwsers should be used as u
Summer overcoat in cool or rainy
weather.
Imagine a well.bu man dressed in
this way. Would he not look we'll ?
Would he not be cool and comfortable ?
After one trial, would anybody consent
to put on again the starched shirt, collar
and cuffs, the tight, high vest,
the blackened boots, the suspendcrs and
the Derby hat OF the present. English
dress for Summer?
Here is an excellent and simple re-
form planned out. Who will inaugurate
1t? III half dozen well.known gentle
men wore 1t down town the next hot
day, it would be popula, in week. But
the idea of gentlemen seems to be to
show that they do not care for the hot
weather. They do not succeed. Limp
collars and cuffs aud the prickly heat
betray their suffeiings in spite OF THEFT
Spartan courage. .--[New York Sun.

THE BRITISH CONsOL.
A Bond with varying Principal But
Never Chapgin ing Interest.

NeNVh hhH hhhthtbts
AS the price of British consols IAN
abbreviation of consolidated annui-
ties," and pronounced either con.sols
or con.sols, but naturally the latter
way), is a certain mark Of the feeling
of security or insecurity Of the finan-
ciers of all kinds IN London, the reader
may Just now be In need Of the re-
lninder that by far the greater portion
of the national debt Of the United King
dom has been funded into perpetual
obligation OF per cent. interest per
aunum to the holders,
The British ministers, when they de-
sire to borrow money, instead OF Of
foripg a one thousand dollar bond at
six, seven or eight per cent. princi-
pal, payable in ten or forty years, as
was done in America, say to the money
lender I'VE will pay three per cent.
on everything we borrow. Now, how
much OF n bond do yon want in re-.
turn for $l,000?" The money-lender
has received as high as $1,77l, and as low
as $99S, according to the degree OF crt dit
enjoyed by the Government. In this
way the Government has piled up n,
imaginary obligation Of 81, 500, 900, 600,
or in reality has written an annual
pension-roll of $105 100000.
Now let us suppose that man de-
sires to ''lend money to the Govern
ment"--that is, to take the place OF
those who have so lent 1t, or those
whose ancestors have so lent 1t. The
investor takes $1,000 into the market.
IL Napoleon has just signed the peace
ofTilsit, the lender obtains, ms aforesaid
a bond for $l,774, on which he ever
afterward is to draw three per cent. II
Disraeli has just torn up Russia treat y
OF San StefanO and taken Cyprus, the
lender gets only an even bond for his
$1,000.
Again, IL time pass, and Premier.
without the governmental requisite ol
an iron crown, will allow the govern
ment to drift into position OF isolation
with most OF the world, and hostilitiss
toward the good fighters, then the
holder sells his bond for $940, and may
be glad to get that much. This hole!
has before held bonds for which he paid
81 900, and has sold as low as $500, and
as high as | ,020. Consols have not beer
so low for seven years as they are al
this crisis, but they are still firm, as
eighty would be considered very low
and one hundred very high.
The idea of the consol, wherein II
differs from the American consolidated
debt, Is that the principal may vary In
amount, but the interest never. Thi'
makes easier book keeping for the Treas
ury, but exposes the Treasurer to al
the greater temptation to borrow. The
dealings in government securities are

This day, (or any other like iD l. called

of all the financial observances In The
world. The actual payment of bal
ances at this clearing, mount into the

may buy consols for cash, or for the ac
count, which, when the account is s,v

MY HOME.

You may talk about your towns,
or your gems and velvet gowns
You may talk about your mansions, with
their cost and shine;
Something fairer meets my eye
AS the pleasant years go by:
'Tis,the charming works OF nature near this
home OF mine.
Here the mountain daisies grow,
Here the silver rivers flow,
And the soft winds frolic daily in the fra
grant pine;
While the brides swoetly sing
On the bough and on tho wing
AS they linger, ever llnger near this home
OF mine.
Here the stately naples stand,
And the oaks, 80 tall and grand,
with the willow and the sumachs in q
goodly line;
lis charming place to dream,
Close beside the treo-lined stream
Natures music sweetly lulllng near this
home of mine.
o, this home OF mine,
Pleasant home OF mine
With the music In the air,
And the beauty everywhere
Not home In any city
Like this homo of mine.
