Fashions in Flowers.

There is a pretty fashion in vogue this
summer with ladies Of wearing only the
simple spring blossoms as they come in
their season. 1t isn't good form 10 wear
huge bunch OF hot-house roses in the street,
but some simple cluster CT lilies of the val
ley, pansies or daisies. A month ago al
most every woman in the street wore
bunch Of violets, but they have given place
to the later spring beauties. Flowers are
worn much less than formerly on dressv
occasions, but when worn = corsage bouquet
of orchids is the fayorite choice. as these
delicate flowers DO not coil or tear the
dainty laoes Of the gown as roses do. a
bunch Of orchids Of this kind costs from S3
up, and is as frail as it Is beautiful. House
decorations follow to the same pretty fancy
Last week !; was peonies; this week it will
be the German iris: next week the outdoor
Jacqueminots will come, and then the moss
rose bush. Whatever decoration is used
IL is wrought out in one color and only one
or two varieties of blossoms.-N. Y. Sun.

Street.Car Motors.

The st. Louis Age Of Stee s.ates that
some interesting inquiries have been made
touching the question of motive power on
street-car lines. The result of these, based
on several hundred replies, shows that the
desire among street railway managers for
something better than animal locomotion
is very general. Only Is rer cent of those
reporting do NOS contemplate any change
from horses; l5l per cent did not answer,
and hence may be placed in the same cate
CORY of conservative; 16 per cent are on
the fence awaiting developments and pre-
ferring some kind of mechanical traction;
l64 per cent favor mechanical methods
other than electricity; "a per cent are using
or will adopt the electric motor In this
last class one-third prefer the overhead
system, and one-ninth like the storage
battery. Thus it will be seen that praeti-
caily 663 per cent of the roads of the coun-
try are already saying goodbye to horses,
and that Of these mere than one-half are
supporters of electricity.

Horrors in HoGand.
1t becomes interesting to note some of
the great foods Of history. One of the
most notable was that which, according to
the old historian Camden, washed away
Earl Goodwin lands on the coast OF Kent,
and lett only the Goodwin Sands Holland
has furnished many coast food. At
bort, in lL46, the sea broke in through
the dykes and drowned the people of sev-
enty-two village, IN aN 100000 persons.
The dykes failed in 1890 and nearly 400
600 people died. The celebrated Ripon
food in Yorkshire was in i77J, and in
1tS7 over 20GO persons lost their lives bv
the sudden torrents from the mountains Of
Navarro. In 1913 the overflow ofthe Dan
uae drowned 20g0 Turkish soldiers on q
small island near Niddiu. and iu Silssia
the floods practically ruined the French
army under Macdonald. The Eistuia
overiowsd and broke its dykes in 1929 and
swept away 10000 cattle and 1000 houses.
Two famous foods in France were those
Of 1910 and 1916 The former was in the
southeast, and upward Of ], eco houses were
swept away oy the Rhone. The other was
in the central and southwestern part of
France, and DESTROYED 529,00O,OJ0 worth
of property, including numerous costly
railroad vlaGurJs.
BY the bursting Of the reservoir at Lor-
ca, IN Spain, twenty square leagues were
devastated and over ], 600 persons drowned,
April D. 1852 The property damage was
estimated at =, o00,000

ALEXANDER DUMAS.
Tho Study Where He Writes and Re-
ceiyes His Friends.

Dumas study is by far the most interest
ing room In the house. Every bit Of wall
space is covered with rare and beautiful
paintings, while brackets support the
smaller pieces of sculpture. Here one finds
the splendid marbles of Carpeaux, the
paintings of Vollen, the landscapes of Co
rot and Troyon, the sunsets of Dupre. the
fulgrances of Delaeroix, the water colors
and oils of Meissonier, Millet's peasant and
the bronzes of Barye. Pier tables are COW
cred with works of art and works on art
rows OF cabinets are filled with portfolios
of engrayings, books aud manuscripts.
Almost every month the artistic author
changes the furniture about and rearranges
the pictures. IN letter to friend he
writes:

numbered 10 such an extent that ! pass

Marchal to remark one day:
"'What a wretch he would be who
would hinder YOU from rearranging your
furniture and unlocking your pictures
The truth is that in the midst Of my
most serious work, if ! perceive a cabinet

Indeed, the whole study, with It's great
chairs with gortly backs, widespreading
arms and generous seats, scattered iuvit-
inglv about on the hardwood floors, the
perfect harmony Of the hangings and the
furniture give evidence Of 9n artists eve,

Paris correspondent. His chair is the

Close beside him, serving for Il paper

three chapters on a subject which another
would have exhausted IN page.
In corner Of the strdv is q iuiI-lcugth

Working Girls, Clubs in Boston.

There are in Boston no less than dozen
working girls clubs. Last week at meet

pose Of forming an association for mutual
helpfulness, seven of these clubs were rep

members, with rooms at 40I Shawmut ay-

and embroidery are provided, also oppor-
tunities for physical culture. A lady

Since the average weekly wages of the Bos-
ton working girl is less than s., these
clubs are a benevolent institution of the
best sort; and, since the movement Is one
in which leading benefactors of Boston are
interested, it is sure to grow rapidly in inn

SUGAR SUBJECT.
What Senator Plumb has to Say About
the New Industry.

Concerning the sugar industry in Kan
sas, Senator Plumb says: l have been Wis
iting the sugar plants of Attica, Medicine
Lodge and Conway Springs, and before
returning home will see all the plants be,
ing operated. am greatly surprised at
the wonderful achievement over last year
1 find. When l, with others, a few years
ago, commenced to insist on part of the
appropriation for aiding in sugar making
to come to Kansas to assist in an expert
ment, we had little argument to produce.
Then it was theory, now it has changed
to facts. The results as will be shown by
the reports of the year, will be an argu-
ment in and of itself far more potent than
all the theories ever invented to lead to
| all former appropriations. The mills l
have visited have made 500, 900 pounds of
sugar, and at the end of the season will
show to their credit LOO 1000 pounds.
The other mills of the state may produce
more than another 1000, 900 pounds,
which, it will be remembered, is remar-
kable gain over last year. Then the most
encouraging thing about the whole bust
ness is that this year the cost of produc
ton has been so radically decreased that
it begins to look like business to engage
in the sugar business. When it gets to
business basis manv more mills will be
started, and Kansas will be famous for its
sugar as we'll as for some other things,
and it is not only in the making of sugar
that find cause for encouragement but
also in the production of cane. The cane
is very fine, yielding better than was even
anticipated. AS to quantity, it was sup
posed two or three years ago that nine
and ten tons per acre was the limit, but
this year Southern Kansas has many acres
showing ten and fourteen TONS As to
quality it has been improved quite rapid
ly, while 12 to 13 per cent few years ago
was the best ever analyzed, am credita-
bly, Informed that at Sterling, where the
of cane is made specially,
it has been increased to 90 per cent, the
highest ever known. In the plants
have visited the operators tell me that the
quality this year is much better and is
observed in the results.
Oh, yes! I think Kansas will get an
othel appropriation for next year of 1885,
GOO for sugar making appropriated. Last
year Kansas got about 100000. Next !
year l think it will be easier to get an ap-
than it was last year, and also
we will be able to get more of it. The
state could use to advantage 500, 900. but
what it will be possible to get remains to
be seen.''
