WOman's Gond Tnste.

In Keeping with the rapid strides made
along other lines in this country the past few
years, the furnishings OF American houses
have assumed an artistic tone that puts to
shame the crude and glaring color- and the
awkward designs of the furniture which pre-
dominated less than n score of Years ago
Such furnishings were considered tasteful
then, but to eyes educated mp to the present
standard how disrJrdaut. \ hint of the ar
tlotic taste with which woman is more or less
endowed was even then displayed in the
tasteful groupings of furniture and the good
arrangement Of ornamental pieces, such as
they We're and it is this taste developed and
educated with better materials, that makes
the interior of the home of today what it Is
So much has been accomplished in this re-
form that scarcely home can now be found
even the most unpretentious, that is not
pleasant to look upon on account of the ar
uSt.c combination of things useful and orna-
mental, and where the tastes of the family
are displayed regardless Of how others plan
their homes. Lewiston journal

why Women Dress We'll.

Mrs. Jenness Millors opinion on tho subject
i that women are interested in dress very
largely from desire to please, and with
women fond Of admiration it is undoubtedly
true that they desire to please men, but there
is a large class who dress from IA desire to cx-
cite envy among women. Women Of very
sensitive refinement take more pleasure out
OF daintness next the skin than tside, while
Others, because Of the admiration excited 10y

The Courtesy and Consideration with
which Pe Treated His Wife.
A Moorish officer we took to jed
dah from Tangier had his wife with
him. She was his only wife. and
though only eighteen years OF age,
had been married to him five years
and had had three children, one of
whom was dead and the other two
alive and left behind at their home in
Fez, whence they came. He had
twice before performed the Hadj, and
each time had been accompanied by
his young wife. This time they were
taking her mother with them, and in.
deed the thoughtful and considerate
way in which he treated them occa-
stoned me good deal of surprise.

one utterly incapable of appreciating
their higher qualities. and merely
using them us means wherewith to

tainly have shamed many of them in
this matter. The ship was lying in
the bay about a mile from the city of
Tangier; the sea was running pretty
high, and long before they came along
side, both ladies were very sick. Gent
ly he lifted them on board and laid
them down in Il quiet corner, while he
rushed about to seek the best place on
the deck whereon to fix his tent Then
he tore open his packages, and drew
out from them carpets and pillows and
cushions, and in short while a we'll
fitted tent was ready, and into it he
carried the two women and laid them
down and made them comfortable.
There they lay till the next day, as
much like two bundles of clothes us

a Decided Gain t. society In tho Now
World ns Well as tho Old.
The professional lawn-tennis PLAYER,
male and female, is also another gain
to society. W. apologize most hum
bly, for the designation, for we are well
aware that (happi!y) there are no
professional" lawn-tennis players in
this country. But the game has now
become the serious occupation OF so
many young men and women of leisure
that it is difficult not to regard it as a
distinct calling. The player of the
highest grade is sad and earnest per-
son whose whole life is spent in trying
to get Fifteen better than any body
else; and when he or she at length at
tains that exalted position, sleepless
nights and laborous days are spent in
the effort to maintain Il. Those
innocent persons who look
upon lawn tennis merely as
IL pleasant pastirne would be
met by smile of contemptuous pity
from crack player. Morning, noon
and night, all the year round. the stars
do nothing but practice the game in
the summer they move about from one
tournament to another, winning all the
best prizes, and when autumn comes
they fly to Cannes, Nice or Algiers to
pursue their favorite occupation. In
the case of ladies such devotion is the
moro praiseworthy, because of the real
sacrifices it entails. The lady-player
who really means business has to let
her appearance go. She must play,
hail, rain or shine. her face burned In
the sun and frecsled in the wind. while
all feminine prettiness of apparel is
sacrificed to the stout seryiceable gar
ments, heellcss shoes and plain hats,
which alone are uitable. A nutter OF
ribbons and laces about her. tight
shoes, or hat perched insecurely on
her head would put her of her

are some who contrive to combine play
with prcttiness. but they ara IN the

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

A Boston Machine VIII Solve the Prob
lem, 1t Is Claimed.
News comes from Boston that under
the auspices of the Erial Exhibition
Association, n steel air-ship is about to
be constructed upon the vacuum prin-
ciple. The ship is to be constructed
entirely of thin plates of the greatest
possible tensile strength, and thor
oughly braced inside by new dnvel-
opment in science mechanics" to resist
the pressure of the atmosphere when n
partial vacuum is obtained. The pro-
moters of the enterprise expect their
machine to lift two hundred passen-
gers and fifty tons of mail or other
matter, to say nothing of all the ma
chinery and apparatus, with electrical
power sufficient to give a speed to the
ship of at least seventy miles an hour
During the earlier trips no interme-
diate or Storage passengers will be
taken. The cost is estimated at two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars,
and National subscription is to be
opened for the purpose of secur-
ing the necessary funds DIR. De
Bossuet, the inventor, is said
to claim that his plans havo
bad the approval of "the most emf
nent scientific and engineering experts
in the country" There is no doubt
that aerial navigation will sooner or
later become an accomplished fact, but
it is very much open to question
whether either the automobile balloon
or the vacuum shell will be the sue
cessful air-ship of the future, but
rather, so far as we can Judge at pres
ent, SO f-sustaining machine, or
motor driven by electricity. derived
from the surface or the earth. 1t
seems as if inventors never would be
convinced of the futility of the dirigible
balloon, of which the unfortunate
termination Of the Campbell venture
has just afforded another example.
They are misled by the ease with
which the machine can be handled in
IA dend calm. and will not realize that
in breeze it becomes comparatively
powerless. IN. Y. Mail and Express.

A ROBBERS GOOD DEED.
He Gives Up His Chance Of Escape to

How strangely the good and bad in

STYLES FOR AUTUMN.
Fabrics That VIII Soon Supplant Gsuzy
Null and Laces.

NIuiI ana 1saces,
The first woolens imported for au-
tumn wear are lightweight camel's-
hairs and cashmeres. These goods are
to be found in dull, rich new colors
like dark old-rose, or laurel red; in
the greens of last season. ranging in
blue, serpentine hues, and in the gray
green reseda colors and in yellow
greens like mousse. Clppee color.
called this season condor from the
plumage OF the hideous South Ameri-
can bird is shown in several shades.
ranging from Il pale tint almost as
light as ecru to the deepest metallic
copper hue. Rust-red colors are i'm
ported this year as Vandyke red and
are especially beautiful in velvet and
rich goods like those used in the fam
Gus portraits of the Flemish painter.
The most noteworthy feature OF tho
new materials and styles is the ten
dency shown everywhere to elongated,
lengthwise effects. The prevailing
styles thus far exhibited are a simpli-
iication of the directoire, emitting its
wearisome huge revers, cravats, and
wing-lille side pieces and exag-
gerating the severity of its gem
eral cut. The fuilncss of the
shoulder is retained in the sleeve, but
otherwise most of the sleeves for walk
lng-dresses are plain coat-sleeves,
moderately close. The leg-of mutton
and other full sleeves will, no doubt,
remain popular for morning or negli-
gee wear and for home dresses and
dinner costumes. Panel effects of diff
ferent kinds are leading feature OF
nearly all designs. Scarf effects also
promise to be popular and for this
purpose importers recommend the
echarfe gown. This is plain gown
made with smooth bodice, a scarf of
figured goods about eighteen inches
wide is then put around the neck.
shirred in place at the shoulder seams
and draped over the front of the bodice
on either side; held close at tho waist
line in clusters of shirring and left to
fall plainly on either side TO the foot OF
the skirt. Handkerchiefs effects in
gowns, which were so popular several
years ago. are revived this season for
simple dresses, which are made with
blouses and overlapping, short pointed
apron drapery over plain skirt,
which is bordered on the edge with
the handkerchief border and made SO
as to form hollow boy-plait in tho
center OF the front breadth, up either
side of which the border extends.
Contrasts of two colo IS are no longer
considered elegant in wool. and there
are only II few dresses imported with
trimmings Of the same tone Of color.
Black velvet is considered the most
elegant contrast with all colors, wheth-
er brown, blue, or red shades. Nearly
all the panels shown for combination
with plain woods OF various hues are
made up OF black velvet, striped o"
brocaded. on sicilienne or gros-
grained background in huge stripe.
