When Summer ID Gone.
The resinous scent Of tho sunhowss,

And the breath of the purplins vineyardA

A heat that is mild and mellow
Has deepened since early dawn,
And 80 1t IL, there is sweetness lsfs
When summer Is gone.
The placid waves Of the river
Are tapping its reedy shores,
And, soft as a dream-song, rises
Tho musical plash Of oars;
No rougher the sunny pillows
Than ever in May. times dawn,
And the winds are sweet and the world d fair.
Though summer IL gone.
A note Is missed from the music.
That only the summer knew,
And something OF light and spisndog
IL lost in The Autumn blue;
But something Of peace Ia added
Like q twilight cool and deep,
After long, hot sunny day
Has gone to sleep.
We turn with wistfui wonder
To years We have owned and spent
And We see q limo In the distance
OF blue, whore the summer went
Not ours the budding roses,
But the leaves that are turning fass
Our summer seems only an echo.
o. a dream thst 10 past
But the shade 10 cool In the VALERA,
The light 10 soft on the hills;

Emperor Williams Royal Cousin.

There is great deal Of sham in all
the show of affection that has been 60
ing on at Berlin between the Emperor
William and his uncle. the Prince Of
Wales. 1t is pretty well known than
the two have an an Ill opinion Of one
another. Wales hates Berlin because
he regards ii as vulgarly democratic
town, and he has always looked upon
William as a bear. As for the young
Emperor, he has been taught by Bis
marck to regard England as non.
sensical little patch. wholly unworthy
OF consideration, and he has been
heard to remark that the Prince Of
Wales was simply petit-maitre and .
faneur."
Wales was accompanied to Berlin by
his second son, Prince George. After
they had been there two days the son
broke ont suddenly one day with: Pa
Their, have you seen pretty girl since
you came here?n
That's a curious question" replied
Wales. "Iiow came you to ask itp"
We'll. I fauced you'd be on the
lookout" said George, "and l wish
you'd tell me II you see one. for I've
got tired Of hunting for them. Your
Judgment in that direction Is good
enough for me-"
The Prince Of Wales speaks German
very Huently, but this is hardly to be
wondered at. since up to the time he
was IL years old German was the Ian
guage spoken almost exclusively in the
royal nursery ut Windsor Castle.

Brazilian Fashions.

II each coast town has its character.
istic colony. says Brazil letter TO tho
N. Y. Tribune. so also each has its own
fashions Of dress for the swarmiDg
black population. ] have noticed a
process OF evolution In costume AZ J
have come down from the equator.
The negro children at Para and Maran.
hao were stark naked. At Peri,anbuco
and Bahia they have calico dresses.
The men began with pair OF trunks
or short trousers, without hat, shoes,
shirt. or coat; at Maranhao they added
. loose-fitting shirt, tapping over tho
trousers; at Pernambuco ragged coat
went over the shirt, aud q torn straw
hat covered the head; and at Bahia
shoes and stockings almost complete
the costume Of a negro laborer. Only
the waist-coat remains to be provided.
and perhaps may tind that at Rio.
The costume of women has been deyel-
oped In the same progressive way. At
the start there was a tunic or chemise.
with head and feet bare. Further
down the coast calico 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 and patterns. and there
Is . lavish display Of cheap bracelets,
brass earrings, and amuletL Al Rio
am prepared to see hapdkerchiefs and
fans. These are the costumes of the
lowest class Of blacks. With educa.
ton, respectable employment, and So
cial equality, the dress Of the negroes
and mulattoes changes, until II Is hard.

tive Brazilians and Portuguese. A
black who has risen above the level Of

narily silk or black felt hat, broad
cloth cutaway coat Of black. and pant
aloons and waistcoat OF white duck.
Even the lowest classes Of blacks 10
Bahia are superior to any other no

The women who hawk fish or pineal-
pies in the streets are marvels Of physi-
cal development and grace. and they
walk like Greek goddesses. With pui.
pie, pink, or blue waists. cut low in
the neck. they display arms of the fin
est modelling, and development Of
muscle and sinew and an erect and
queenly carriage which must be the
envy and despair Of Brazilian ladies 81
