HEADGEAR OF ROYALTY.

A Partisan NIilllner Recalls the Fancios of
Her Titled Patrons.
I number a great many royal ladies
among my customers. For instance,
1 have furnished for years past the
hats and bonnets worn by the Prin-
cesses of the Orleans family. The
Comtesse de Paris dresses in a severe
and simple style, and always wears
round hats-never bonnets. Her hats
are small and of special variety of
the toque shape. which is prepared
purposely for her. Dark brown and
black are her favorlte colors. Her
married daughter, the Duchesse de
Braganza, shares her mothers SIM
plicity of taste. The Duchesse de
Chartres, the sister-in-law of the
Comtesse de Paris. is one of the most
elegant royal ladies in Europe. She
is famed for her graceful carriage.
and it has been said of her that to see
her sit down was in itself lesson in
grace. Her usual style of headgear
is the capote bonnet in black and gold

The Empress of Russia has been for
some years past one of my customers.
Like her sister, the Princess of Wales,
she never wears high-crowned or
large-brimmed hats, which. indeed,
would be unsuited to the delicate type
Of her beauty. Every thing must be

ROYAL, BUT HUMAN.

A Lesson Taught BY the Court Gossip Of
European Newspapers.
Even in the court gossip of the news
papers published in different European
countries. We find the pathetic hints
Of human love and suffering which
prove all men to be of but one blood.
Queen Christina of Spain. we are
told. at the time of her marriage was
an angular, hard-faced. repellent
woman, whose manners offended those
who approached her. But her passion
ate desire that her baby son shall in
herit his fathers throne has altered
her whole character. She is gracious
and friendly; has acquired fine tact.
and her manners are now as charming
as they were once unpleasing. She
has subjugated the naughty grandees
of Spain. and made them loyal to their
little King by her direct personal in
fluence alone. Every day is new
battle for her boy; and so far she has
won every battle. 8
The Czarina of Russia. several
months ago, with her husband and
children, was in q railway train which
was wrecked by conspirators For
some time she thought her Oldest son
was killed. The result was that for q
time her mind was affected; the dead
boy was constantly before her.
The Empress of Austria, it is ru-
mored. owing to the suicide of her
son. has lost her reason.
The Queen of Sweden has long been
an invalid from some obscure disease.
She is extremely fond Of music, and
her happiest hours are those when her
sons sing to her.
The most touching story which
comes out of the court surroundings is
that of the Duchess of Cambridge,
aunt of Queen Victoria, who has just
died at an extreme old age. Her son.
who is over seventy years old. In
variably came twice a day to sit by
her bedside and entertain her with
family gossip. He never left her with
out bending his white head that she
might lay her hand upon it in blessing.
Young people are apt to think Of
royalty as removed into a state Of
splendid triumph. insensible to pain
or anxiety. Yet these brief glimpses
show that Kings and Queens are but
fathers and mothers like the poorest
slave. and draw their misery and hap
piness from their children just as
keeniY as though no golden rigol'
bound their br0ws-Youth's Com

IN ARCTIC REGIONS.

Tho Growing Popularity OF tho Land Of
the Midnight Sun.
Every summer hundreds make the
excursion along the Norwegian coast
to the North Cape. where the midnight
sun is witnessed and the night is as
light as day. The inhabitants of the
Arctic regions seem to enjoy life as
much as those in lower latitudes.
They would not exchange their coun-
try for any other. The Icelanders do
not want a better country than that
found in the island which is sur
rounded by ice half the year. A few
emigrate because otherwise the popu-
lation would overstock the island. But
the natives of high ATTITUDES never
seek warm countries The Norwegian
immigrants take kindly to Wisconsin
and Minnesota They want frost,
snow and ice. If the lakes and rivers
are not sealed up half the year it is
not good country for Norwegians. A
few years ago some of these people
maze explorations in Alaska with a
view to settlement The winter climate
il milder than that Of Norway. or
course these explorers did not find q
country more attractive than the
northern parts of Wisconsin and Min
nesota They found a country whore
the waters abounded in fish and there
were vast forests But these advan-
tages are found in the Northwestern
States and Territories in addition to
cheap and fertile lands.
DR.. Nansen. who made the journey
across Greenland, was compelled TO
spend the winter at Godthaab, on the
western coast He found winter life
enjoyable. The permanent white set
tiers did not need any sympathy on
account Of the rigors Of the climate.

THE SECOND JONAH.

An American Sailor Who Was inside Of .
Whales Mouth.
j. w. Kiesler, late Commanders
clerk. United States navy, now resi-
dent of Honesdale. Pa. tells the fol-
lowing story of remarkable expert
ence of an American sailor with q
whale. He says: George Leonard. an
acting Master in the United States
navy du ing the civil war, and sta
toned on board the gun-boat Katah-
din. West Gulf blockading squadron.
in 1868. told story Of heroism and ex-
hibited marks on his body that cor
rOborated his words. The year 1850
found Leonard as one of the crew of
the ship Enterprise, a whaler in the
North Pacific. One day he was sta
toned in the bow of whaleboat q
long distance from the ship with q
brave crew. who had sighted whale
and made for the monster with all pos
siblo dispatch. When within proper
distance Leonard threw his harpoon.
striking the fish hard and deep. In
some manner the line as 1t was rum
ming out caught the body of ono of the
men in such way as to throw him
overheard. the man suddenly sank.
whereupon Leonard transferred his
line to boatmate and sprang into the
ocean in aid of the drowning sailor.
The whale, now maddened by his
fast flowing blood. made rush for
the boat Remarkable and horrible to
relate. Lecnard's friend. had man
aged to regain the boat, while he him
self was caught by the whale between
his jaws, his position being inside the
monsters mouth, with nothing pro-
truding but one of his arms. In this
manner the man was in reality within
the jaws of death itself. The whale
instantly plunged down into the deep.
and, in the words of Leonard himself,
1.-The fish seemed to be going down,
down into eternity itself"
The imprisoned man after all this
had not lost his presence of mind. He
mustered his entire bodily strength
and he was powerful man-actually
bracing himself in such position as
to compel the fish to spread his jaw;
at the same time. with his arm that
was free, he grabbed the sheath knife
out of its socket. slashing right and
left. No sooner was there a sufficient
opening made than Leonard forced his
body outside.

most strange to say, he found himself
within an arms length of his boat He

plainly visible on Leonard's arms, and

OUR DARLING BABIES
How They Should be Dressed During q
Heated Term.

How They Should be Dressed During the
Heated Term.
One can not walk a half mile in any
part of town at this time of year with
out meeting babies, and babies Of all
kinds. Poor little three-week-olds
smothered in fannels until they can
hardly breathe, and little toddlers pale
with the effort to cut their eye-teeth
and breathe city air at the same time.
A baby OF any age needs air at this
time of year. The long cashmere
cloaks that strain the necks OF babies
under four months are barbarous. and
vet half the mothers in town use them.
From sunrise until sunset. while the
Thermometer is up to seventy-six, q
baby just born or under three months
old needs only little flannel skirt.
high in the neck and long in the
sleeves, a flannel band. knitted and
put on loosely; a napkin. soft wooden
socks. one long flannel petticoat and
one muslin slip.
Do not put any thing else on the
poor little helpless :hing. A knitted
Jacket and a white muslin cap are sui.
ficient for outdoors. except when
walking in the wind or driving; then
q soft shawl or cape is best.
The cloaks with sleeves should not
be used until baby is old enough to
put out his hand for his rattle. Then
he is old enough to hold up his head
without support from the hand and
can better bear the weight Of the
cloak.
Don't keep the baby bundled up all
day. After his midday nap and meal
place him fat on his back in the CEN
ter of your bed. turn his long frock
up and let him kick and crow. It will
help him to grow and will strengthen
his back and legs
If it is very warm and the baby is
fretful give him a midday bath in
tepid water, and another one at sun
down if he needs it. Very little babies
should not be put in the water but
once day. but ara easily sponged of,
and are generally quiet and sleep we'll
after bath. A little vinegar added
to the water will allay the itching
from prickly heat
Chaiing often comes with June
weather, and it is very painful to the
baby. To prevent it baby should be
sponged off and powdered half
dozen times day. Fuller's earth is
used when powder is not sufficient.
The former is very fine dust-colored
powder and can be obtained at any
drugstore.
Don't put the baby to sleep on a
feather bed. and use very thin little
feather pillow for his head. One of
the best summer cradles has bottom
of wire-screen, and on this is placed a
four-fold quilt lined with cotton, and
small soft hair pillow. A single
eider-down spread is used.
Hammocks are being used in town
houses by many mothers; quilt be-
ing put in before the baby. They
keep up gentle swaying motion for
a long time. are inexpensive and can
be changed from one room to the
other with but little trouble. IN. Y.

The Grest Art of Dress.

Chevreul laws down: hard and fast rules
about the tints that may be placed with adj
vantage against certain compilations and
those which are detrimental But the truth
is that the endless variety in the physical

leading to class them in many cases as fair"
or dark" or under any general denomina-
ton whatsoever The skin may have more
or less Of the bistre and yellow ocher tones
that belong to dark hair, though the hair it
self may be of any shade from dust color to
gold. The caprices of nature being so d.
verse it follows that such rules must be elias
tic, and are made to be violated almost as
often as not.
There is one rule, however, which seems to
be absolutely inviolable. Where nature has

strong tints can heighten the brilliancT OF a
Rubens beauty; it rather detracts from it AID
fatigues the eye, the relief of contrast being
needed IL the picture, instead OF glowing,
be subdued and low toned, then the back

to speak, may with advantage do their best
to draw attention to their subject, as the gold
halos and gem encrusted trtptych will add
force and value to the Madonna and saints

art Of dress-to know just how far todraw
attention to clothes and no further; never to
allow them to impinge upon the interest that
should be conferred in the face.
Ihave seen intelligent human beings who
apparently chose that their attire should be
the first and last thing thought Of in con-
nection with them No beautiful wounsn, If
she be clever withal, makes this mistake. Her
dress may be slmptuous; 1t may heighten
her attractions if tudic'cusly chosen; it
