Her Wedding Outfit.

To give a description of the attire of
the bride, writes S. s. Cox in an article on
Mohammedan marriage in The North
American Review. demands a dainty pen
and a nicer sense than belongs to the
sterner sex. The writer essays to do ii
with apprehension. First: She wears
wide trousers, not unlike petticoat, tied
UP al the end on each leg. The fabric is
of red, blue or yellow silk, embroidered
with gold. Then there is robe of silk
or velvet and long train. glittering with
gold embroideries and precious stones,
and surrounded with gold trimmings and
lace. Her boots or shoes are adorned in
the same mode. The dressing of her
head is remarkable, and her face Is paint
ed in the most exaggerated manner, in
white and red, and her eyes, her eyebrows
and eyelashes are delicately pencilled.
These elegencies of the toilet rob some
thing of grace from her naturalness, by
defacing her maiden beauty. Upon her
cheeks are stuck two jewels, each as large
as a half dollar. In the middle of each
cheek there is big diamond Over the
cheek and on the forehead are affixed two
small stars, mounted with precious stones.
This completes the costly Disagreement
of the face. Over the forehead tuft is
mounted with an extremely large diamond.
If the family be we'll of, this gem is as
big as a walnut. Another diamond. OBJ
long in shape. is fixed on one side of the
head From the crown of the head down
to the ears, diamonds are scattered over
and through the hair Kid gloves cover
her hands, over which a large number of
rings are worn beautiful fan COM
pletes the picture of the bride en- toilette.
1t is disenchanting to know that the turf,
the oblong diamond. and the wedding
dresses, are often hired for the ceremony.
This is not unreasonable. because it Is
economical. for these portions of regslia
cannot be used on any other than we'd
ding occasion. or by any one else than q

ing in proper qualifications for the posi-
tion. He can no longer make this asSer-
tion consistently after having recon-
mended and secured the appointment of
Delaney to be United States district at
torney. A man who is qualified for that
position is qualified to represent his dis
trict in congress.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says: Demo
cratic editors in this state will do well to
remember what happened in Ohio last
year. The democratic organs in Ohio
were SO anxious to encourage the prohi-
bition party that, by praising the prohi-
bition leaders and commencing their de-
votion to principle, they actually convert
ed many of their readers to prohibition,
and the third ticket, in some counties,
drew more heavily from the democrats
than the republicans.

Bad Chinese Boys.
Gan Erapciaeo Chrnuirlp

So far references has been had only to
the first class of hoodlum Mongolians.
there is another class, no less dangerous
to society, to be found among the Chiness
boys, many of whom are members of In
dustrious families. The example set by
the older roughs is initiated as closely as
it is possible for those of tender age to
follow in the footsteps of their elder
cousins" To be bad, thoroughly and
irrevocably bad, is their highest ambition.
They pick up American profanity readily,
and use il with a freedom and frequency
that would drive the most depraved Amer
iccan hoodlum to despair. But 1t IS not
on their proficiency in the use of oaths or
filthy language that the young pagans
rest their reputation for wickedness- 1t
affords them certain pleasure to mingle
with the Sunday school youths of their
own race and fire off few bombsheiis OF
profanity now and then, while the Chris
tianized Mongolians raise their eyes in
holy horror But this is only feeting Joy.
To sport a weapon of defense in the
shape of a knife or pistol. and to display
it on all occasions when the eye of the
police is not upon them, is a pleasure
smacking more of delightful outlavry,
and il is enjoyed 10 the full by the bad
young man in Chinatown. A knife hay-
ing four inch blade and short thick
handle-one of those w4cked-looking
knives that cuts both ways and must be
carried ia a leather sheath-is the desight
of the Mongolian hoodlum. The sheath
is generally fastened TO a strap about the
waist, and is concealed from view by the
outer garments. Such knives have been
found in the possession of Chinese hood
lurns under 10 years of age. 1t is, indeed,
doubtful if the majority of the class un-
der discussion do not carry weapon Of
this kind. and sometimes two or three
with pistol TO boot The more closely
he resembles walking arsenal the better
the young pagan is pleased with himself,
for he can then easily convince the China
town residents that he is very bad man.

A Simple Tale.
Texas Siftings.

Once upon time real editor, by some
strange chance, found himself along with
one of those editorial excursions that you
frequently read about. There were
couple of hundred in the party. but he
was the only real editor among them, and
he felt very lonesome. Not only that, but
he was looked upon by suspicion and mis-
trust by the other fellows, who wondered
what business he had there anyhow. One
veteran traveller on a dead-head pass
that he wasn't entitled to- said that he had
been on scores of editorial excursions,
and that was the first time that an editor,
that is to say, real, bona fide editor, had
ever shown up. If this thing was encour-
aged, he felt that the editorial excursion
was doomed. Its epitaph might as well
be written. So with one accord they all
sat down on the solitary editor. and made
it so uncomfortable for him that he got
of the train at the first stopping place
and returned home.

THE SURPLUS RESOLUTION.
Morrson'S Surplus Resolution Considered In
the Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, July ~. Ono of the
topics considered at to-day's cabinet
meeting was Morrisou's surplus resolu-
ton. The sentiment of such of the
members as expressed themselves ON the
question was i'll entire accord with the
views recently expressed by Acting
Secretary Fairchild before the
senate finance committee. 1t is
said that while the president would
prefer continuance of the
present policy of the administration in
regard to the redemption of bonds, he
would nterpose no objections to the reso-
luton as amended by the senate commit
tee, practically increasing the reserve and
also authorizing the secretary of the
treasury TO suspend the calls when he
deems it necessary to preserve the credit
of the government.
