JOURNALISTIC OOTTINGS.

SINCE 1864, it is reported, no such cold

FINE PRINTED SILKS.
Charming Novelties of Delicate TextU
For Summer Wear.

Charming Novelties of Delicate Texture
For Summer Wear.
The unusual combinations of color
introduced by fashionable mOdistes
during the past season, have been al
ready appropriated by designers and
manufacturers; and the result is seen
in charming novelties of delicate tex
ture for spring and summer wear.
China silks in low, light tones of
terra Gotta, tca-color, olive, old blue,
chocolate or, as the French color-cards
have it, '-cacdO-the," are imported in
beautiful qualities; and these are
printed in Lyons in every variety OF
delicate or brilliant cOlorings and in
Vulnerable patterns, the figures so in
delibly stamped upon the fabric that
they appear almost equally vivid
upon either side. and the materials are
said to be, in fact, washable silks.
Among the newest designs are the
large, whorl-like shells and immense
scallop-shells at set distances, of red
printed in blue on gOld-cOlor. green on
dull red, blue on olive, etc; and all the
popular designs are in white on all
colOrs-
Bengalines in chine floral patterns
are shown in all cOlors, and the newest
and lighter qualities of Bengalines are
called Eolan silks - doubtless from
their airy lightness of texture. These
are figured with latticed designs re-
sembling a green trellis over which
| pale-tinted blossoms are climbing.
! Though the designs are large, the
colors are so subdued in tone that
their effect is very quiet. The light
repped surface of these silks gives them
n somewhat serious quality, and they
are used in combination either with
plain silk of the same quality and of
the same or n contrasting color, or
with faille Franchise.
Then there are the glowing Oriental
| tints in rich-hued India silks in floral,
| Egyptian and other Eastern patterns,
| which will make charming summer
costumes, and are very popular for the
| equally popular tea-gOwns and home
robes which can not now be made too
/ luxurious either in color or fabrics.
In using these printed silks some
combination with plain material OF the
same color is usual; and all the figured
silks NAV be used with their ground
color in a plain fabric. Another way
is to use them in combination with
plush or velvet or fine cashmere, as for
the front of a tea-gOwn or matinee
Most charming of all are the white
silks with dainty and diminutive fig
ures in chine colorings. These are not
floral, but small ''set' figures in shell
! or spiral patterns. Trimmed with white
Fedora lace, which beautifully initiates

SEVEN LOVELY GIRLS.
An UnadOrned and Truthful Sketch o
Modern Irish Life.

An UnadOrned and Truthful sketch of
Modern Irish Life.
She was a woman of fifty years, but
still strikingly handsome. Her eyes
would have done credit to Corsican
beauty, and her figure was rounded
and shapely. The villagers were
massed in confused crowd in the
shelter of a bowlder gazing diffidently
at the visitors from affair. Mrs. Finne-
gan addressed them in Irish, and called
out the name of her seven daughters
in rapid succession. One by one they
came out of the crowd and Jagged to-
ward us bashfully. AS they drew near
they formed veritable beauty show.
They ranged from eight to twenty
years in age, and four of them were
magnificent looking young women.
They would set East Broadway ablaze,
and reduce the men about-town of
Grand street and the Bowery to pulp
in a single Sunday afternoon. One by
one they Jagged up-bare legged and
bare armed. They stood erect, but
their heads dropped slyly, and they did
not raise their eyes till their mother
spoke, when the lids were raised in
unison, and a battery of appalling
effectiveness was turned on us.
"Sure," said the mother, turning to
me, they're fit t make their Twin in

edge Of the forest. Then, when the
sun shot its first long shafts of light
across the level grasses, the chief
walked slowly forth and stood alone
upon the prairie. The world in the
morning light was beautiful to Ona-
toga's eyes. The flowers beneath his
feet seemed TO smile, and poured forth
richest perfumes; the sun was glori-
Gus in its golden breast-plate. to do him
honor; while the lark and the mOck-bird
sang his praise in joyous songs.
he had not long to wait Soon,
afar of, the dreaded Piasau was seen
moving heavily thraugh the clear
morning air. OnatOga, drawing him
self to the full measure of his lofty
height. raised his death-sOng. The
dull futtor of hhge wings came nearer.
and great shadow came rushing over
the sunlit fields, Onatoga, never ceas-
ing his chant, faced the Piasau fearless
ly. A sudden fierce swoop downward
In that very moment, twenty poisoned
arrows, lOosed by twenty faithful
hands, sped true to their aim. With
a scream that the bluffs sent rolling
back in sharp and deafening echoes, the
foul monster dropped dead! The Great
Spirit loved the man who had been
willing to sacrifice his life for his peo-
pie. In the very instant when death
seemed sure he covered the heart of
Onatoga with a shield; and he suffered
not the wind to blow aside a single
arrow from mark-the body of the
| fated Piasau
Great were the rejoicings that fol-
| lowed and rich were the feasts that
were held in honor of Onatoga. The
| uini resolved that the story
of the great deliverance and of
the courageous love of Onatoga
should not die, though they should
themselves pass away. The cunning
| carvers of the tribe cut deep into the
| living rock of the bluff the terrible
| form of the Piasau. And, in later
| years. when young children asked the
meaning of this great figure, so unlike
any of the birds they knew upon their
rivers and their prairies, then the faith
ers would tell them the story of the Pia-
sau, and how the Great Spirit had found,
| in OnatOga, a warrior who had loved his
fellow-men better than he loved his
own life.-Joh1s Djn1itry, IN 81. Nicholas.

Food and Morality.

Prof. F. T. Miles, of the faculty Of
the University of Maryland, delivered
a lecture to large audience of young
men recently, on Food and Diges-
ton" In the course of his lecture
Prof. Miles, in speaking of the effects
of an insufficient quantity of food,
said: 1.-The fat disappears first, then
the muscles waste away, and finally
the bones come through the skin. The
brain, the spinal cord and the nerves
are nourished to the last Like a king
in a beleaguered city to whom his loyal
subjects give up their food, the nobler
organs are longest nOurished. In
starvation there is not simple hunger
of the stomach, but hunger of the
whole body. 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they
will do strange things. 1t produces
insanity, and they have been driven to
eating what has been called strange
f1esh;' that is to cannibalism. There
are millions of people who have not
enough to eat. It is at the bottom of
anarchy. The police may give them a
loaf of bread, but the whole body is i'll
nourished, and a restless feeling re-
suits. Not much can be done with the
grown-up people of the criminal
classes, but the child criminal comes
first. The criminal classes are called
dirty, lazy and ugly. OF course they
are. They are dirty because they have
no spare heat to let go; lazy, because
the muscles are weak and nature tells
them to keep still when hungry.
You would be astonished to know how
much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up Of fat. The Grim
inaI classes are ugly becauge they have
no fat. How could child whose mus
cles and nervous system have been
partly starved be expected to have all
the sympathies and instincts of high
er class of society? An everyday Sab
bath-school with breakfast before the
| lesson would be a capital thing for
poor children. Some say the poor
! themselves are to blame for their con-
dition by living too luxuriously. One
of the most intense cravings of tn,
Greedy Arctic party was for sweet
meats. Tea and coffee do more good
than harm. They stimulate not only the
brain, but the activities Of the whole
body. There will be a great mission
to the poor some day to see that they
| get enough good food. baltimore San.

Novelist StOcktOn's Pleasant Experience in

In Italy, as well as in France, we
often find pleasant disposition to offer
service, even if it is not directly paid
for. was once in city of Northern
Italy, where 1 needed some articles of
clothing Having just arrived, was
entirely unacquainted with the place,
and inquired of clerk at forwarding
or express office, where l had some
business, the address Of a good shop
where l could buy what wanted. He
thereupon put on his hat and said he
would go with me to one. did not
wish him to put himself to so much
trouble, but he insisted that as l did
rot know the city it would be better for
him to accompany me. He took me to
the best place in town, helped
me in my selection, made suggestions
TO the shop keeper, and when l had
finished my business, offered to go with
me to buy any thing else l might want
II is possible that he may have been
paid for bringing purchasers to this
shop, but the price 1 paid for what /
got was so small that there could not
have been much profit to anybody, and
/ do not believe that the large and
wealthy firm by whom this young man
VAS employed would allow one Of their
caerks to go out in this way merely e
give him a chance 10 make a little
money. Let any stranger in one of ouI
cities enter an express office and try tc
get one of the clerks to 60 with him q

known his desire, let him wait and SEE
