The agent doing business next door had a

CurlositieS OF Costume In Bahia and Other
CoaSt Cltlea.


Coast Cities.
II each coast town has its character

ions OF dress for the swarming black
population. have noticed q process of
evolution in costume as I have q me
down from the equator. The negro Gill
dren at Para and Maranhao, were stark
naked. At Pernambuco and Bahia thew
nave calico dresses. The men bepan
with pair OF trunks or short trousers,
without hat, shoes, shirt or coat; at
Maranao they added a loose-ftting shirt,
happing over the trousers; at Pernam-
buco q ragged coat went over the shirt
and torn straw hat covered the head,
and at Bahia shoes and stockings al
most complete the costume of a negro
iabocer. Only tho waistcoaS rem aims to

Mt Rio. The costume of the women has
been developed in the same progressive
way. At the start there was tunic or
chemise, wit head and feet bare.
further down the coast q Cllico skirt
and waist were thrown over the tunic
and shoes were worn. At Bahia light
shawl or wrap is thrown over calico
suits OF the gayest colors or patterns,
and there is n lavish display of cheap
bracelets, brass earrings and amulets.
At Rio 1 am prepared to see handker-
chiefs and fans. These are the costumes
of the lowest classes of blacks. With
education, respectable employment and
social equality the dress of the negroes
and mulattoes changes until it is hardly
di3tinguishable from that of the native
Brazilians and Portuguese. A black
who has risen above the level of his race
is scrupulously careful to initiate in de-
tail the costume of his equal, the Portu-
guese white. He wears ordinarily silk
or black felt hat, broadcloth cutaway
coat of black, and pantaloons and waist
coat Of white duck. Even the lowest
classes of blacks in Bahia are superior to
any other negroes whom have yet seen
in Brazil The women who hawk fish
or pineapples in the streets are marvels
OF physical development and grace, and
they walk like Greek goddesses. With
purple, pink or blue waists, cut low in
the neck, they display arms of the finest
modelling and development of muscle
and sinew and an erect and queenly car
riago which must be the envy and de-
spair Of Brazilian ladies of the highest
rank.-Bahia Cor. N. Y. Tribune.

A soaool-Ma,am.s Lawsuit.

Miss Kate Kennedy, who has been a
teacher in the public schools OF San
francisco for more than twenty years,
has just gone through q years fight
with the board of education, ard estab-
hshed the principle that the board can
not discharge teachers without cause.
Miss Kennedy, having obtained a leave
OF absence, made visit East, and was
surprised upon her re. m to find that
her place had been given to her substi-
tute.. The board Of education coolly in
formed her that she was not wanted,
whereupon she brought suit to test the
legality Of her discharge, meanwhile
making formal application evcry month
for hor salary. She won her case in tho
lower courts; and now the Supreme
Court sustains these decisions, and or
dors that sho be restored and receive
her back salary.
Delicacy OF Mint Scales.
The fno gold weighing scales made in
Philadolphia and intended for tho mint
at Now Orleans few years ago are
marvels of mechanical invention and
expert workmanship. The larger Of the
two pair has capacity of 10,0 900 ounces,
troy, or about 6S8 pounds avoirdupois,
and when loaded to its full weighing
capacity will indicate the variation Of
the one-thousandth OF an ounce. Tho
other and smaller pair are intended for
lighter work. AL it's bearings are of
the finest agate, which hove been
ground with remarkable precision.
This instrument is believed to be the
most delicate In the world. 1t will give
the precise weight Of human hair, and
is susceptible to the slightest atmos-
pheric changes. st Louis Republic.

THE CUTE PARNELLITES
SNATCH A VICTORY FROM SLEEPING
CONSERVATIVES.

The Government Whips Fail TO Bring Their
Members in Time-The Home Rulers
Seize the Opportunity to Advance Irish
Agricultural Laborers' Bill.
LONDON, May 14.-In the House of Com
mons this afternoon Mr.. Joseph Francis
Fox, member for the Tullamore division of
Kings county, Nationalist, moved the Sec
ond reading of the Irish agricultural labor
ers' bill. The bill proposes the use of the
church surplus to assist in the erection of
laborers' cottages.
Mr.. Johnston, Conservative member for
South Belfast, moved the rejection of the
bill on the ground that the surplus was not
sufficient to cover the charges of the land bill
and the lahorers' bill.
The Rt. Hon. David Plunket, accused
the Parnellites Of trying to snatch a
division. He said they had assembled in
full force at a time when the bulk of the
members were absent in order to get the bill
read the second time. The OBJ
ject of this was to destroy the
laborers' clauses in the land bill. He
protested against the appropriation of the
Church surplus in the land bill as being
purely Irish fund which he wanted for edu-
catlonal purposes when home rule was OBJ
tained Yet, here were the Parnellites pro-
posing to devote the surplus to the building
of laborers' houses.
Mr.. Balfour charged the Parnellites with
introducing the measure through a mere de-
sire to embarrass the Government. The

of the bill and the member who had sec
