The UmbreIlas Of TtaIv.

They make no umbrellas in Italy ac-
cording to the English idea. The trim,
tightly rolled umbrella of England and
the United States is unknown, except in
the hands of a tourist. Even the most ac-
complished Italian gentleman thinks
nothing of carrying a coarse, clumsy um-
brella, which, when furled and tied up, is
nearlya foot in diameter and has handle
nearly equal in size to the center pole of q
Sibley tent. The Italians have a huge
umbrella which is always carried by the
common people and sometimes by the
higher classes. This umbrella, when un-
furled is full five feet across. tt is made
of some strong, coarse material, and is al
ways in some flaming color. You will see
these umbrellas in pea green. bright,
cold blue, purple and flame red. They
are also carried by the black froclzed
priests. They resemble very much in shape
and size an artists sketch umbrella
They are protection against the cold
rains Of the winter and the blazing suns
Of the summer. Every Italian farmer and
laborer carries one. You will see farmer
and his laborer going out under these
umbrellas to their daily work, and in
nearly every hedgerow you will see, in
passing through the country, these UNI
brellas furled and thrown down tenn
porarily by the laborers while they are at
work.-T. G. Crawford in New York

While San francisco pays close atten-
tion to European fashions in dress. it fur
nishes more examples Of originality in
styles than most large cities. This Is
particularly true OF the wearing OF wraps
and overcoats. For this the glorious eli
mate is largely responsible. IN New York
on a fine summer day the lady who would
parade Broadway in q heavy sealskin
ulster would certainly be regarded with
more than interest. Equally astonishing
in the metropolis would be the sight Of a
lady Ia midwinter strolling through tho
streets in a thin, close fitting dress with
out muff, wrap or tippet. Such anachron-
isms pass unnoticed in San Francisco,
however.
There is no climatic or fashionable de-
cree that forbids the appearance Of the
sealskin ulster anywhere, and it does
active service throughout the year. Oc-
casionally it does duty under trying cir
cunlstances, for the fog or wind of a sum-
mer day is likely to give place at any mo-
ment to undimmed sunshine that makes
the thermometer 80 degs. in the shade
Strangers from older communities, where
the sealskin ulster comes into fashion only
for brief space in the twelvemonth, are
amazed at its perennial reign in San
Francisco. The fair sex are not the only
ones who present sharp and strange con
trasts in the matter of overdress. The
overcoat is not often necessity in San
Francisco, and is worn more for style
than comfort as rule.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

named Rosa Smith, who was fond IL
literature aud had been trying for many
months to win livelihood and fame by
her pen. She wrote many bits Of verse
and tried hard to get them accepted
They all came back 10 her, however A
few days ago she made another effort.
but her heart was almost broken when
her work was returned When she re-
ceived il she wrote letter to her one re-
lative. sister, saying that the could not
live longer in the surroundings her soul
abhorred, and reviewing the history Of
her earnest efforts and wretched failures.
The letter itself written under such cir
cumstances, is a marvel of elegant teFse-
ness and intense expression. She was
found dead. dressed in her coffin, with
half emptied vial Of morphene in her
hand.
