Fashionable Dress In Java.

A ladywho has been visiting in Java writes to the Missouri Republtoan As soon as we got to the house our hostess provided us with ''savengkabaya" to put on This is the native dress of the country, and is worn by ladies all through the heat of the day, being light and cool It consists of two parts; the ''sarvengn or skirt is about four yards wide, in one piece, with one seam. It is drawn tightly around the waist without a wrinkle, and folded over in front in one or two great folds, and tied on by sash. There are many kinds of ''sarvengs,n almost every district hay ing some special way of making and or namentng them and where stranger would see no difference, a connoisseur at glance distinguishes between a Ba- tavian. Samarang, or Solo pattern. In some places they are woven, sometimes with gold or silver thread, in others a rich pattern traced in wax on fine cotton or silk. The process is called 'battick". and these are the finest.
 Sarveng-making is great industry among native women, and they are of all prices, from one or two guild CTS to fifty and sixty. The wives of chief and high born natives make them as a pastime to use themselves or give away, and often trace a story or legend on them. One such saw repre- sented in most intricate pattern, the tree of life and its branches. The "kabaya" or jacket is made on the na- tive, pattern, and would not, l fancy, find much favor in Paris and New York, but it is loose and comfortable and in keeping with the eastern looking dress. Finally the feet are bare, but to keep them off the ground slippers are used just for the toes. The slippers are ex- quisite in beauty and finish, and must excel even those far-famed crystal slip pers of Cinderella's, which we dreamed about and envied in our childhood. They are made of velvet or satin of any color, richly embroidered with beads and silver or gold thread in close pat terms of leaves or birds and finished off with high gilt heels, which tap, tap, cheerfully as one walks about these silent Indian houses. The embroidery of these slippers is done chiefly by Chi nese women. We could not at all man. age this dress at first, and my sister and l insisted on putting on the saryengs on pushing all the fullness to the back, and in this way making them look like ill., made under-petticoats and quite spoil ing the picturesqueness of the dress.

City Of chihuahua.

A ride of 255 miles over 4 country
possessing nothing of special interest
brings us to the city of chihuahua.
Capital of the State of the same name, Il
city of 1900 inhabitants. The houses
are mostly built of adobe. generally in
one story, and the long, straight streets.
flanked on either side by these low
whitish-cOlored houses. soon become
monOtOnous to the eve. The Grand
Plaza. in the centre of which Il hand
some fountain is situated. is the loung-
ing-place of the citizens of all grades,
and their characteristic Incidence is
strongly impressed upon the stranger as
he sees them summing themselves by day
and contemplating or gOssiping at night
with the ever-present cigarette. The
crowds as they saunter about in their
native costumes present u scene pleas
ingly picturesque, the sombrero. the
serape, and the rebosO in varied cOlOrs
rendering it 4 pretty sight. Here we
see an aquadOre with Il large jug of
water on his back. suspended by a
leather band about his forehead; in
front of him hangs his small jug, sus-
tanned by a band passing around the
back of his head. Again, those of the
wealthy class with their elegantly
silver-trimmed sOmbreros. heavily braid
ed short jackets, tight-litting trousers.
studded down the sides with buttons of
silver. MinglinG with the crowd are
also the poorer classes. with their
gaudy serapes loosely thrown over their
shoulders. and wearing huaraches
(leather sandals, fastened with straps
over the instep and across the ball of
the foot). a close inspection often re-
vealin" the fact that the blanket is the
sole covering to the upper part of the
body. The pretty sonora. poorly clad,
without even Il sandal. is lOunging at
the fountain. her s%habbiness concealed
by the usual black shawl gracefully
thrown over her head and shoulders,
extending we'll down the body, showing
bronzed feet and ankles, we'll modelled
and graceful. though neither small nor
soft in appearances; the ever feminine
characteristic is not wanting even here.
for. conscious of her beauty. she lifts
her water-jug from her shoulder, and
resting it OH the edge of the fountain,
chances about with her brilliant black
eyes; her soft olive complexion, beauti-
fully chiseled features, and regular
white teeth render her a fascinating
picture.-CHy Mcric0 Letter.

DOS-DayS.

1.-The appellation OF dog-days, as APP
piled to August's heated term" said a
prominent ~dog-fancier yesterday. prob
ably originated hundreds of years ago,
when droves of dogs were kent in
oriental cities, with the idea that the
animals were 4 sanitary necessity. as
they consumed a large portion of the
household refuse. These dogs being
unsheltered during midsummer were
subject TO intense heat, which affects 4
CANNES brain very quickly, and sends
him off into a mild sort of fit. The ami
NAL then dashes around frantically,
making a great deal of noise. and at
tracing considerable attention, but
usually doing no harm whatever. In
years past it was no uncommon sight in
Philadelphia for a dog to dart through
the city. alarming the residents on every
side: but now it is a very rare thing, as
all supertluous dogflesh is disposed of
by the do~g-catchers, and those puppies
that are unmolested are generally
thought something of and well cared
for.
"A man who knows anything about
dogs can detect one of these spells, and
can check it quickly. The animal will
stick mis- tail between his legs. whine
piteously, and act as if startled. The
only remedy is to hold him under a
hydrant, allowing the stream to flow
over the head. thereby cooling the
brain. All dogs are liable to be at
tackled. particularly iine-bred dogs which
have been ~overeyer.ed and O~verheated."

Wine-Making in California.

The prettiest and c%leanest employ
ment | ever saw is that of gathering
grapes. But it is hard on the back, and
in the end is not easy work. OF course.
tine ugly stumps are entirely hidden by
the vines long before harvest time. In
deed. the thousand vines and tenGrils
and blossoms that branch out from the
little black stump in the earliest days of
spring have long before harvest time
completely covered every inch of ground
with vines and leaves and tendrils that
reach almost to your waist And the
stump is one solid mass of luscious
grapes. They are all there clinging to
the stump. not scattered about Over the
ground on the long vines that are to be
shorn away. But you begin to feel down
in the dense mass of leaves and tendrils
for your stump. and ut every stump you
find a little cart-lOad of grapes.
There are blank rows up and down
and across all the large vineyards for
the wagons. And one of the brettieSt
sights in California is the long lines of
wagons on the high roads on their way
to the wine-presses with their great
heaps of streaming grapes.
The best hand in the grape-iield by
all odds is the little Chinaman. He
grows close TO the ground, and So does
not have TO bend his back like a large
white man. Besides. lie is very supple
fingered. And it does not take a John
l.. Sullivan to lift Il bunch of grapes.
And so when you have decided in your
mind that the grape is going to be 4
conspicuous figure in the political econ
omy of this the greatest state in the
union, and when you have further de-
cided that the Chinaman is necessary to
make it most profitable. YOU can decide
very certainly in your mind rs to
whether the little brown men are going
to go or stay.
If only every white man would hasten
to get hold of Il little piece of land and
plant it all. either till it himself or en-
ploy Cinnamon to do the hardest part
of the work for him, why then this ques-
ton of cheap labor. SO far as California
is concerned, would be settled instantly
and to the satisfaction of all. When the
white man who Is now employed, or
claims to want to be employed. comes
to be the employer. why cheap labor
will seem in his changed mental vision
to be the very best thing that could be
bestowed on the commonwealth of Cali
fornia.
And land is so cheap and SO ready
for the pillow. and SO accessible. too, by
n one of the five Pacific railroads. as
compared with the time when we. the
old settlers, put in the best half of the
year in crossing the plains.
But, alas. Notwithstanding all l can
say or do. | fear my fellow labOrer will
cling to the dirty alleys of the dismal
cities, hug his hatred of those who have
toiled and braved danger and made
life a success. He prefers the ~pest-house
for his children to the green grape-iields
and the sweet air of the roomy west.
He prefers making bombs 20 making
bread. Alas, my fellow-laborer, you are
a bombcr!r-Joaqain Liler IN Chicago
