Ono of the Nobicst Gothic Towers In the
German Empire.
Flush with the main wall of the
church uprises the tower, an elegant
mass of late decorated Gothic, in which
is carried out TO greater completeness

at Strasburg, of plaster strips before
the deeper lying windows, thus effectu-
ating in the tower the idea started in
the porch. In this tower. which is
easily assembled, and which commands
an extensive view of the surrounding
plains and the Swabian Alps, hang a
large number of bells. all bearing
names indicative of their purpose.
Some have long been silent, among
them one named the '.wine bell, once
rung nightly at ten o'clock for the pur-
pose of fetching the male population

STORM SIGNALS.


New Cautionary Indications to Show tho
Direction and Velocity Of wind.
The signal officers at Chicago and
other stations in the West have re-
ccived instructions from the Chief of
the United States Signal Office at
Washington relative to general orders.
by which a new set Of wind-direction
and velocity signals has taken effect.
The following reasons are given for
the change:
'.It is duty each officer and en-
ploye owes to himself and to the SER
vice to exercise the utmost care and
diligence in executing this very i'm
portant charge, more especially on ac-
count of the grave responsibility in
yolved in advising as to the movements
of shipping of very great value. Al
though steady progress has attended
this service in announcing the ap-
proach Of wind-stOrms since it was
first attempted in 1872, yet there is
room for important improvements, and
it is believed that further progress
can be made at this Office by utilizing
the many recent discoveries in meteor
ology, assisted by the observers exer-
cising the utmost care in making and
forwarding their observations and in
promptly and correctly publishing by
signal or otherwise the storm warning
received.
warnings Of the approach of wind
storms will be published by the display
of flags by day and lanterns by night
in connection with the bulletins posted
and reports furnished to newspapers,
mariners and others interested"
The signals to be used consist of four
flags and of two lights at night. The
cautionary signal, which signifies that
the wind will attain q velocity of
thirty-five miles an hour within one
hundred miles of the point of display,
is red flag with black square in the
center. A flag with one white and one
black stripe running horizontally is
the direction flag, and is displayed at
the same time with the cautionary sig.
nal to indicate the direction from
which the wind is expected. When
the direction flag with the black stripe
over the white is displayed above the
cautionary flag the wind is expected
from the northeast; when below the
wind will be from the northwest.
When the direction flag has the white
stripe above the black and is hoisted
above the cautionary signal the wind
will be from the southeast, and when
below from the southwest A red
light at night at night represents the
cautionary signal. There is no night
signal for the wind direction. The on
shore wind signal is a flag divided into
four squares, two black and two white,
and is hoisted only on the lakes when
q wind on the water of twenty to
twenty-five miles is expected to blow
on shore-that is, a wind dangerous to
small vessels, barges and tows. A
white light represents the On-shore
signal at night Chicago Journal.

GIRLS, DRESSES.
Various Becoming and Economic Materials
for Summer Suits.

Various Becoming and Economic Materials
for summer Suits.
Fine cotton or wool stuffs that can
be washed at home are the materials
for girls entire wardrobe. with per-
haps one or two foulard, pongee or In
dia silk dresses; but ali rich and elabo-
rate fabrics are avoided Nor is it any
longer necessary that all the dresses
should be white; there is decided
fancy for color in these small toilettes,
not merely for light and delicate tints.
but for dark rich shades of red, blue,
golden brown and yellow, that make
gay little frocks, and have the further
advantage of not being easily soiled.
In the cotton fabrics. prints, cambrics,
ginghams, lawns, batistes and Cham
berys are chosen in colors that wash
wen. For calicoes, prints, satteens
and cambrics, there are pretty
sprigged patterns on cream, pale or
dark blue, or bright Turkey red
grounds; for ginghams. are pin-head
checks of color with white, or half
inch blocks of three or four colors to-
gether, or half-inch' stripes of two con-
trasting colors, such as blue with yell
low. pink with brown or pale rose with
dark red. and also fanciful large
plaids; new lawns and batistes have
open-work stripes or cross-bars like
drawn-work woven between lines of
color. and there are solid ecru or blue
batistes. while others. like the Cham
berys. have either open or close en-
broidery in white or III contrasting col
ors. in stripes, in small figures, and
also along one scalloped selvage. The
newest piques have cross stripes of
clusters of cords, but the repped
piqucs and those with embroidered
sprays are still most used. The du-
rable linen lawns that wear intermin-
ably are excellent for these little wash
dresses, especially for the yoke slips
with sash backs worn by girls two or
three years old The white dresses
are of Victoria lawn or nainsook with
embroidery and tucks-not lace-for
trimming; indeed. lace is almost rs
completely banished as are silks and
velvets from these simple garments.
The only silks used are the light sum-
mer silks, such as the large-ilowercd
India silks. or French patterns in fou-
lards in quaint aesthetic colors, or else
checks or small plaids as gay as Scotch
plaids. Yet not in regular tartans. For
more fanciful stutfs the cream white
etamine or canvas is chosen. also the
thin wool challi with flower designs on
cream, pale rose, or blue grounds.
For warmer woolens for the seaside
are cashmeres for best dresses-white,
dark red or pale blue-while for gen.
eral wear are thin French flannels OF
the heavier twilled domestic flannels
for kilt dresses. sailor suits and peas
ant frocks i'm white. brown or navy
blue-Harper'S Bdzdr.
