Girls and Xiyes.

Mr. Labouchere gave, in his cabled CORE
spondence to The World a few days ago, his
explanation of the fact that american girls
are cutting out English girl: in the matri-
monial market:
l should say that the main reason is that the
American girl is not so missy" as her English
sister, and that she is brought up 10 run down her
own game In England the notiGn still prevails
that girl IS sure TO get into mischief II she has
not mother or something OF that sort at her
elbows. She herself resents this End takes it out
in fast conversation and sangy ways, SO that she
becomes singular mixture of the doll and the
tomboy Her small talk Is of tte very smallest
small talk. Her mother Is always by her with
palpable suggestions of marriage which fright
ems off al suitors. The American girl has
natural taste for clothes. They IN to belong to
her, and whatever she may wear is put on to best
advantage. She knows how to talk agreeably,
and. being always quite at ease, puts all those with
whom she is thrown at ease
To this an Engl sh resident of this city re-
plies III rather tart note, from which we
extract the following:
This is the beauty of the English girl: She does
not hunt round for a husband; fer idea is not
simply to get married, and as quickly as possible
but TO get married happily and the small number
of divorces in England shows that she succeeds
1t is not very difficult for a pretty girl TO get a
husband and this, must say, the American girl,
are very well up to; but il is much more difficult
to keep husband, ms ke him comfortable and
stick TO his wife and in this the English girl is far
ahead Of her American sisters.
We DO not think that the marriage of a
dozen or two American girls 30 Englishmen
Is likely to affect the "home market" very
much in either country. As a rule, the
young women of both stations marry their
own countrymen, and it is probably very
much better that they should do So Indi-
vidual exceptions pro7e nothing except va
ria. rs in the general taste and tendency.
Mr. Labouchere knows tho girls of both
countries better than most Enslshmen or
Americans do, and we suspect there is con-
siderable truth in his observations upon the
differences in the two The American girl
OF the best type certainly knows how to
dress, to talk, TO appear and TO ''look out for
herself to best possible advantage Her en-
vironment, her education, the freedom ac-
corded 10 her and the respect paid to her all
conspire to make ker what she is, the para
gon OF her sex
As to keeping" husbands, the American
wives keep ell who are worth keeping-and
good many who are mott The absence Of
divorces does not always indicate that mar
rlages are happy. An American wife of
spirit viii not endure many things that some
English wives appear to accept either as q
matter of course or as inescapable. And her
countrymen glory in her spunk New York

weeks shows what judiciouS advertising

shows that the people know good thing
when they see it. 1t has been the most
successful closing-out sale ever inaugural

making money, but of disposing Of our
stock. There are thousands not only III
the city, but in the surrounding country,
who have avaied themselves OF this great
cut sale. We are retiring from business
and must sell this stock. Our present
prices are loss. The loss is ours. We
have plenty of chances to trade this stock

take greenbacks and hard gold and silver

The CameI'S HUMPS.

Structurally, of course, the humps are
nothing-mere Jumps of fat, collected under
a convenient fold OF the skin, and utterly un-
provided for In the framework Of the skele-
ton. When the animal is at its best and
well fed they are full and plump, standing
up on his back firm and upright; but ON
long journey they are gradually absorbed to
keep up the fires that work the heart and
legs, and i'll the caravan camels which arrive
at the coast, the skins hangs over, an empty
bag, upon the creatures fanks, bearing Wit
ness to the scarcity of external food during
the course of his long. forced march from
the interior A starved small camel in this
state Of health far more closely resembles
Peruvian llama than any one who has only
seen the fine, well kept beasts in European
menageries or geological gardens could read
lily imagine.
But water is even scantier in the deserG than
food, and against want of water, therefore,
the camel has had to provide himself, func-
tionally at least, if not structurally, quite as
much as against want Of herbage His stom-
ach las accordingly acquired the power of
acting as an internal reservoir, and he can
take i'll much water at the BahrS or WadyS,
:Fhere he rests for while on his toilsome
marcn, as will supply his needs for four or
five days together. There are some differ
ences in this respect, however, between the
two chief varieties of the camel The African
kind is most abstemious, and best adapted to
sandy deserts; the Ractran, a product of
more varied and better watered country, is
larger and stronger, but less patient of hum
ger and thirst, while at the same time it can
manage to subsist ard to make its way into
somewhat rocker and more rugged country

Useful Hints for the Housewife-How to

Arches and rustic effects with bOughs
should be put wherever there is a suitable
position. These should be hung with Ian

also with fairy lights. The softest part Of
the turf should be selected for dancing. Al
though a wooden floor is more acceptable tc
dancers, these are not in good form on private
grounds At the fete champetre, the stroll
and promenade, listening to music and ad-
miring lovely scenes are the chief amuse-

desired. Procure foliage of al shades and

be made by carpenter. Cover the founda-

clusters of ferns and form reliefs Of begonia

most convenient way unless there is plenty
Of room; or large board is set in some po-
sition in the rear Of the house. Rough tri-
pods garlanded with laurels, or pretty greens
of any kind, are used if the former way is
preferred. II a large table is spread, have
rough one made in the form OF clover leaf,
and bed it with sods OF clover in a wide band
around the edge. Make mount of fine moss
in the CENTER and sI-nount this with cor

the cornucopia a wide mouthed glass jar, Or
bottle, of water may be put to hold the flower

fusely, and the flowers and vines appear to
be rumbling outi Wooden dishes and paper
napkins are in order for out of door meals.
Elegant rusticity is the aim in all the appoint
ments of a garden party.
AS a rule the garden party is held from
O'Clock in the afternoon until midnight, and
the collation. is spread from until 10 o'clock
After dark, fairy lamps add greatly to the
beauty of the table, and lanterns to the
garden. On large grounds, an Indian tent
formed of wire and vines is put up where
lemonade and ice water is served contantly
by an attendant This tent is made with
cross poles, garlanded, and with wires firmed
in the ground by pegs. The wires are
matched with boughs. Inside bank or
green bench is made, and sometimes a moss
covered bucket is the receptacle for the

EOndon's Cloud of Smoke.

Professor Chandler Roberts estimates the
weight Of the smoke cloud which daily hangs
over London at about so tons of solid car
bon, and $50 tons Of carbons IN the form of
hydrocarbon and carbonic oxide gases. Cal
culated from the average results of tests
made by the smoke abatement committee,
the value of coal wasted from domestic CRATES
reaches, upon the annual consumption Of
100000 people, to &, ,257 500. The cost
of carriage on this wasted coal is
calculated to be e26S, 100, while the
passage OF a large number OF horses
through the streets in drawing it adds
considerably to the cost of street cleaning
and repairing. There is also the cost of tax
ing away the extra ashes, e43, 900 year.
Summing it up, the direct and indirect cost
of the wasted coal is set down at E2, GOO 900,
plus the additional loss from the damage
done to property caused by the smoky at
