According TO returns made at the last
census, we find that the amount of bust
ness transacted in the matter of women's
clothing footed up nearly $50, 600, 600,
and it is likely that the greater part Of
this was for outer garments. About two
thirds of this, oil $40, 900, 900, is credited
to New York; to Philadelphia, 50, $780,
900; Boston, 81, 800, 900; Chicago,
81, 500, 900; Cincinnati and San Fran
cisco about 81, 900, 900 each. According
to the same returns the amount of CAPT.

Coincidently with the ~decadence of
poetry, another phase of the human mind
has put itself forward with marked en-
phasis; and that is what we call humor.
Humor, In fact, is one of the most reso-
lutte and dreaded enemies of the modern
poet. The humorist will take q poem
and put 1t In such a light that we begin
to see something ludicrous or affected in
what was till now beautiful and pro-
found. OF course, the humor that does
this is a humor not Of the larger sort; it
is the cheap humor of parody and ridi-
cule, the humor of literal interpretations
and grotesque comparisons. such as is
rife just now in this country. When we
wish to express our admiration of it, we
call it the humor of common sense; 1t Is
at any rate common" in 80 far as it Is
easily come by, and is low and material
in its point of view. But nothing exists
without a cause, and the cause of this
humor is the hypocrisy, humbug and
pretense which characterize so much of
our social and moral and intellectual be-
havior, and which 1t is the end and aim
Of our ''humorists" to show up and dis
credit.@ulian Hawthorne In American
Magazine,

Roscoe Conkling in New York and
Matthew Arnold In Liverpool met death
in modes thoroughly characteristic Of
their natures. The poet and man of let
tiers had taught the virtue of physical
culture throughout his life. He believed
in athletics, believed in his own teach
ings, believed in practicing what he pro-
fessed. And 30, at GO years of age, he
must needs leap q fence because, for the
athlete, fences are made to be leaped.
The statesman and jurist had been in
the habit of walking down Broadway
from his office, regardless of wind o.
weather. Brooking no opposition from
his feHowmen his imperious temper re.
fused to bend ever to the elementa
forces; and 80 he shouldered his way
magnifcently through the binding snow
storm and successfully defed the biz.
zard at Its worst. But for his temporary
triumph he has paid the penalty of his
life. and now a nation mourns his un.
timely taking OFF.

China, which has got ahead IF the
western world in n good many. other
things, preceded it in the use of a certain
invention, which, In a rather impractical
way, is beginning TO be introduced into
Europe. When the first European trav-
elers visited China they found the natives
in certain districts using a kind of wheel
barrow OF hand al which was provided
with a large sail. Tho sail was spread
when the wind was favorable, and made
the journey of the human propeller much
easier and swifter than it would other
wise have been. These land vessels have
been in use in China from time imme-
mortal.
The use of land sailboats has also pre-
vailed, to q small extent, in Holland,
where n of the princes of Orange once
won fame for n ''fying chariot which
he had provided with sails. 1t is the
principle Of these land sailing craft which
am Englishman has lately applied with
great success to q large tricycle.. Not
long ago this gentleman and his wife ar
rived at the French city of Rouen on
their winged machine, which excited
great curiosity.
On the front part of the tricycle., which
was an unusually long one, there was a
sort of swinging ~easy-chair, made of will
low ware; and in this chair, made very
comfortable by cushions, wa the Eng
lishman's wife. Her husband was
seated behind on an ordinary tricycle.
saddle, and was working the treadles
swiftly and easily. Above the two was
spread a large sail, rugged to a light but
stout bamboo mast. When the wind
was in his back, the tricycler put up his
his mast and spread his sail; when it
was u~nfavorable, he took IN the sail and
housed his mast, placing 1t length
wise along the machine.
The Engiishman and his wife had
Travelled that day nom Honfleur to
Rouen, a distance of eighteen leagues.
As they carried considerable baggage, the
feat would have been impossible without
the assistance of the sail. The English
man said that for o part of the way, with
a smooth load and a favorable breeze, he
did not have to work the treadles ct all,
and found 1t delightful travelling. The
wheelman believes that sailing ~tricycles
will come into general use. He says he
knows no reason why the wind should
not be made to work on the land as well
as on the sea--Youth's Companion.

In a social aspect 1 may be allowed to
add one word c~ondemning German men
as a whole, promising exceptions which
make the rule. They are totally devoid
of that chivalry toward women so con-
spicuous among American gentlemen.
Each man proceeds like a crown prince
in his w right, and pays his addresses,
with no fear of refusal, to the woman
chosen by others for him, or to one who
has caught his eye, or whose "dot" is
sufficient to attract him. The engage
ment is sudden and proclaimed with vast
eclat and ceremony. 1t has been said
that Germans mako the best lovers and
worst husbands In the world; but it is a
marvel that On American girl finds them
attractive In either relation.--Cor. Bos-

pleasure when he sips his wine and looks
upon his elaborate sideboard of teawood
to know that some of the most exquisite
of its rich carvings was lone by q father
and son, the little fellow being only z
years old. How his taper little fingers
would handle the tiny chisel and how
accurate was his eye when he wrought
from the hard, meaningless wood a
flower that almost had an odor, 30 soft
were its petals. The child had inherited
the talent of its father, as he had done
from his parent, and so through a long
line, perhaps far back to those people
whose handicraft made the rich relics in
marble and wood of four centuries ago.
Here children follow the fathers craft.

was done by little boys. Carpets are not

A piece of yarn is run through and then
cut off with a knife to mako the even,
velvety tuft.
The weaver does not have a design be-
fore him, but another boy sits in front
with the design and calls out the next
color to be inserted In n sort of chant.
Thu weaver repeats this as he runs the
color in. The first boy calls out for one
or more who are on the other side of the
web, and thus dictates for them all.
To one not understanding the thing
the chant would be taken for a sort of
religious exercise. In one shop in the
Punjab there was no fixed design at all.
There were four weavers on a rug, say
ten by fifteen feet. They had a common
idea in their heads, but each worked out
his portion Of the carpet simply with a
