The Latest styles in Embroideries and
Wooden Goods.
Among the novelties in embroidery
are fiouncings forty-five inches deep in
fine cambria and nansook, with mar.
row band of Hamburg across the bot
tom and trimming width at the upper
edge. They are called apron widths,
and will be used for plain skirts, for
nurses fine aprons, and for the many
uses to which such goods can be
adapted. An exquisite material is COM
posed of stripes of satecn vieing with
satin in beauty. divided by stripes of
white embroidery; this could he made
up in combination, with the solid en-
broidery for an underskirt.
The new wooden materials for the
season are highly to be commended for
their beauty. Wooden CLEANLINESS are
largely represented, but they are in
finitely superior to the regular square
network of wooden threads so fashion
able last year. The novelty of the sea-
son is a fancy etaminc. as light rs Cos

crossing of minute wooden threads, pro-

Grapes most beautifully This etamine,
called emphatically the new canvas, is
striped and checkered with plush lines of
the most lovely colors, the ground being
dark ficellc color. which is very fash
fonable. it is also striped horizontally
with rich, wide terry stripes in delicate
aesthetic colors. combined as French
manufacturers alone know how TO COM
bine shades.
Here LET il be remarked that distinct
feature of the new wooden fabrics is that
they are striped horizontally instead of
vertically, and that as rule the stripes
are at least in two colors. The plush
stripes are in many widths, generally in
two colors, both differing from the
ground. Thus on fawn, ficelle or wood
etamine the stripes will be moss and
seal brown, bronze and terra Gotta, etc.
There is also very novel variety of
canvas used for skirts only. 1t is

for such shaped shoe obiges its wearer
to conceal at least one toe under its

suffering and misery to the votary of
fashion infatuated to the degree of bear
ing such torture for the sole purpose of
of being Ia mode. Fashion is in a
certain degree following the English
lead and giving up high heels; in fact,

CHINESE WRITING.
Ideas Expressed On Paper by Means ol
Small Pictures or Keys.

Ideas Expressed On Paper by Means Ol
Small Pictures Keys.
Chinese is queer langu age. All its
words are only one syllable long. But
the sounds in tn Chinese language are
not very many, some four hundred and
sixty-five at most, and their written Ian
guage contains about eighty thousand
pictures. each picture representing a
thing or idea. And these pictures must
be committed to memory. This is hard
work, and not even the ablest Chinese
professor can learn them all. But now
comes a difficulty. For, of course.
where there are so many words and so
few sounds. many different words have
to be called by the same sound. How
then are they to tell. when several diff
ferent things have ex actly the same
name. which of them is meant?
We have such words. For instance,
there is Bill. the name of a boy; and
bill, the beak of bird; there is bill, an
old weapon, and bill. piece of money:
there is bill, an article over which legis-
latures debate, and bill, a claim for
payment of money; besides bills of
exchange, bills of lading and so
forth. But Chinese is full of such words
of single syllable, gen, for instance,
which, like bill, means many very diff
ferent things. So they chose a number
of little pictures, and agreed that these
should be used As keys" Each key"
meant that the sign or signs near which
it stood belonged to some large general
set of things. like things of the veg
etable, mineral or animal kingdom.
forest, mines or seas, air or water, or of
persons, like gods or men. 1t was like
the game called Throwing Light, in
which you guess the article by narrow
ing down the field until certain what
il is.
But there Chinese writing stopped
short, thousands of years ago. There
it is to-day. There are now two hum
dred and fourteen of these keys" and.

The Reckless whims of the Ruler of the
Hawaiian Kingdom.
King Louis is, 10 all intents and pur-
poses. a bankrupt, both mentally and
financially. But he was clever enough
to apply to his Minister of Finance
lately for 10000, 600 or 1000. 900 marks
TO enable him to continue his fantastic
building operations. On the Minister
directing that the country could po,
bear such an enormous outlay, aud sue.
costing that his majesty should retire
from the building business, he flew into
passion and dismissed his adviser with
the curt remark: Il let no man meddle
with nv private concetns-' Soon after
he sent Councillor Klug to Germany to
try and raise loan. but tho bankers to
whom he applied at Berlin. Frankfort
and Hamburg laughed ID the ENJOYS
face. On Learning this, far from stop
ping his building freaks, the King
wanted money for erecting more
palaces. For months past the King has
haS no personal intercourse with his
courtiers or body servant. He COM
municates his orders in writing to ons
of his courtiers, who does double duty
as secretary and valet. while even this
privileged person is not permitted to
enjoy the light of the royal countenance.
but is obliged TO lie fat on the floor,
face downward. while the King dictates

YrsrrRDAr was ! bloody day il

YESTERDAY was > bloody day IN
ST. Louis. The strikers on the rail-
roads and the pOpulace exhibited
early in the morning great excitement,
but no outbreak occurred until the
afternoon. Three or four hundred
men advanced on the NASHVILLE
yards." and began persuading the
men employed there to desert their
work. AT this jancture train guard
ed by eight deputy sheriffs arrived and
the trouble began. Stones it ID charg-
ed were thrown, when the deputy
sheriffs armed with Winchester rifles.
began an indiscriminate firing upon
the crowd. Four men fell dead and
one woman was mortally wounded.
The greatest excitement followed.
The crowd fed in every direction,
and the deputy sherifs ran for their
lives, some throwing their guns away,
to police headquarters for protection,
and were sent to jail for safety from
the mob.
The officers Of the Knights of Labor
who were present. made eloquent and
stirring appeals to the mob to dis
perse, which they finally did with
threats tosavenge the deaths of their
friends. None of the persons killed
we're strikers. The whole difficulty
originated with few lawless spirit;
who excited the mob to violence. The
Knights of Labor deserve credit fol
their zeal and bravery in silencine
and dispensing the maddened popu
lace.

THE ELEVEN COMMANDMENTS. -
Mr.. Geo. May Powell, of Philadel-
phia, has timely article in the April
Century, on Strikes, Lockouts, and
Arbitration, In which he says. Zone
of the most satisfactory CAGES of con-
Citation and arbitration in America
was the settlement of serious strike
in the Philadelphia shoe trade,in 1884.
This was arranged by Hon j. M.
Wasbburn, with some cooperation OF
the Peace Union. About $1,000 daily
wages was involved, and what proved
to be O cold winter was before the
working people. The settlement
saved this, with all the peace and
comfort, health and morals involved.
Not the least of the advantages gain.
ed was the formulation of eleven
rules, with notes on the same. The
value OF these rules and notes is shown
by their having since settled several
strikes in other trades and other
States. They were posted up in fac
tories, and the workmen by way of
pleasantly came to call them The
Eleven Commandments" They were
furthermore made the basis of adjust
ment of serious trouble in one of
the largest institutions OF learning in
the country.
