ball of the ankle, at which point they were
sewed on to stiff black linen boards, which,
for the lack of a better name, might be
called ankle cuffs.
For state occasions she had a shawl
of white sill: about six feet square, with
a fringe. at least a foot deep. Ihe fringe
was knotted in very much the same
style as Macrame lace. Upon the shawl
proper as Il field was a quantity Of en-
broidery of almost startling brilliancy.
The center figure represented gaily colored
birds making love, flying about or feeding
their young, each group of birds being sur
rounded by Il wilderness of leaves and
flowers. In the -four corners were four
dragons, in what to American eyes seemed
ludicrous attitudes. One seemed to be
smelling some flowers Il sneezing over
them, a second Vas picking blossoms, a
third was eating rOsebuds and a fourth
was apparently settling down for a nap.
Fol ordinary occasions she had silk shawls
either plain or slightly embroidered and
of different ~thicknesses. One shawl was
80 heavy that it was either padded or else
made of several thicknesses of silk.
These shnwls are worn according to the
weather-the light and diaphanous ones in
the dog days, and the heavy and padded
ones in the colder seasons. Besides the
padded shawl they use an ingenious gar
ment chat we might almost call a padded
or fur lined wrapper. The padded ones
suggest the heavy blouses worn by we'll to
do Cinnamon in December. The fur lined
ones are greatly like the fur lined circulars
which were in fashion a few seasons ago.
The Chinese use a larger variety of furs
and skins than the European races. They
not only employ all the furs familiar to
us, but 60 so far as to use the skins of pup
pies, kittens, rats, mice, lambs, kids.
squirrels, monkeys, yak and awrochs. In
fact it may be ~truthfully said that there is
hardly any animal, wild or domesticated,
but whose skin is employed for wearing ap-
parel by the thrifty Mongolian people.
Feather trimmed garments such as were
worn by the Aztec mobiles are not uncom-
mon.
Some other dresses that this Chinese
lady owned were what might be called court
robes, if women of that land were ever al
lowed in court society. In nearly all of
these garments the basis material was a
heavy silk of a bright blue, green, gold,
scarlet, purple or orange. On each was
embroidered a design so large as to cover
almost every spare inch of the surface.
This embroidery contained a large amount
of silver and gold, which varied from about
one-tenth to nine-tenths of all that was
used. Onesuit consisted of three pieces-a
cape, Il vest and a skirt. The vest came
down very low in front, and was cut so as
to form projecting angles at the sides. The
cape was cut almost to the knee, and ter
minated in points which touched each
other in front, while the flaps at the neck
were about a foot apart. The sleeves were
cut like huge wings or sails, with a curv-
ing flare from the shoulder to the end.

AN lNDOOR COSIUME.
never called upon a Chinese or Japanese
lady with whom I was on terms of init
macy but what I coveted some if not all
Of her wearing apparel. In their bou-
doris they are pictures of physical content
and happiness.
Oriental clothes-and it is true for both
men and women-are based upon absolute
common sense. In the first place, the
waist is never CONSTRUCTED. The corset,
stay or tight fitting garment is un-
known. A woman can eat and drink with
out feeling uncomfortable, and can stoop
and touch her toes without difficulty. AS
a consequence she enjoys a health and
strength that affords an unpleasant con-
trast to what is enjoyed by her more civil
lied sister.
What is of almost equal Importance is
that the clothes of women in the east hang
from the shoulders. There is little or no
weight upon the waist or hips. Even when
a belt is worn it is almost always a loose
girdle attached to a robe, somewhat SINH
lar to the silver belts worn by our girls
W and three years ago. In many cases
the girdle is permanently affixed to the
dress, and is practically a portion of that
garment. Mrs. Jenness-Miller in her most
imaginative moments has never devised a
more hygienic article of raiment than that
worn by the wealthy women of the orient.
Outside of the sanitary value of eastern
clothing it has the additional excellence
of beauty, richness and elegance. recall
q visit to the wife of one of the richest
Cinnamon in southern California where I
was allowed the privilege of seeing a good
part of her wardrobe. AS with us her I'M
d~ergarments were made of the finest silk,
but were sewed and not woven, and the
threads instead of being stiffened or glazed
were left in their natural soft condition.
Whether it was the nature Of the raw silk,
or of some process used in the manufactur-
ing, I cannot say, but the u~ndershirts felt
as soft in my hands as the Finest woven
English merino. Over this she wore a
gown, which was held by shoulder straps,
leaving the arms bare, and being cut down
q reasonable length both in the front and
back. It was brought in close to the figure
at the waist by darts, and came to a little
below the knees.
The material was q pale pink satin,
brocaded with figures of q slightly diff
terent hue, and embroidered upon the
shoulder straps, around the neck, down
the front and around the bottom. The
embroidery was done with silk floss of diff
ferent colors and gold and silver bullion
thread, and was made to represent vines
interspersed with blossoms. The flowers
that were yellow in part or whole had this
color represented in the gold, and those
which were white in silver. The gown was
strong and durable, very light and loosely
enough woven to allow the air to blow
through it. Over this was the outer gown,
which was shaped very much like a New
market, with the front flaps turned back.
The collar was a rolling one, quite deep.

equity old gentleman possessed of views
and a temper-declares grew to maturity
in the upper jaw of John Hampden. Mr.
Hampden, it will be recalled, was a sturdy
Englishman, who, about $50 years ago, re-
fused to pay the tax gatherer of King
Charles 1 a few shillings con principle"
He fought for his convictions in the courts,
and later on appealed from law to arms.
In an encounter at Chalgrove one of
Prince Rupert's cavaliers ran his sword
through Mr.. Hampden's shoulder. The
patriot commoner died of the wound a
week a%fterward, but the cause he advo-
Gated lived and triumphed under the direc-
ton of his cousin, Oliver Cromwell.
The English people recognized Hamp-
denis services to the extent of praising his
deeds and respecting his tomb for the
space of 200 years. Then they had one of
those anniversary spasms SO common to
civilization. They erected a memorial at
Chalgrove, which was a proper thing to do,
and quite crcditable in it's way. But they
didn't stop there. They dug open a grave
which was said to be Hampden's, took out
the skeleton there reposing and reinterred
it elsewhere. The highly respectable par
ties in charge of the affair compensated
themselves for their trouble by pulling a
few teeth out of the skeletons jaws.
These they took home as genuine relics of
the stainless citizen and knightly hero
who could defy kingly aggression, but who
couldn't Il his own bones from the de-
Element of shameless and fish blooded
antiQuarianS.

The skirt was narrow rather than full,
and vas gored at the back of the waist. The
embroiderer generally makes the embroid-
cry correspond between the cape and the
skirt, and gives a smaller pattern to the
vest than to the other two garments.
These dresses are extremely expensive, and
cost in China from 40 to 300 taels, which in
our money would be from $50 to about
$400. With some of these court robes a
singular ornament is used in the shape of
shoulder attachments, which givesa woman
the appearance of an angel or a theatrical
butterfly. The favorite forms which are
used for these attachments are one or more
peacock tips, flags, artificial flowers and
mounted birds. AS these are light and
easily stirred, and as every eastern woman
carries a fan, they make a very beautiful
picture when the fans put the ornaments
in rapid motion. 1t is as near to a wind
stirred garden of natural flowers as any,
thing that can be imagined.
Another court robe consisted of two
pieces, the one a short shoulder cape and
the other a princess dress cut moderately
low in front, just reaching to the ankles
and running to u train about half a yard in
length. The cape, sleeves and dress were
cut so as to give the effect of sharp re-en-
tering angles.
No lady's wardrobe is complete in the
east unless it have an assortment of what
we call Turkish trousers. These fit quite
snug to the waist and the ankles and
are always loose, Where people are
wealthy they are so baggy as to be almost
laughable. l have seen several pairs, of
which each leg was two yards in circum-
ference. The poorer classes make these
trousers out of cotton cloth or prints;
the we'll to do use various qualities of silk
and satin They are extremely cool and
comfortable in summer, and quite warm
in the colder part Of the year.
When trousers are worn the dress skirts
are usually cut much shorter than usual,
so as to display the lower part of the leg
from the ankle downward, On very gala
occasions the white stockings and ankle
cuffs are replaced by those of finer mate
rails and far greater cost, the former being
made of silk, and the latter being rigid
boards embroidered in brilliant colors, but
in such tints and patterns as to afford a
bright contrast to the robes above it. The
sash is also used in the east, but is not so
popular as with us western barbarians. It
is generally fringed at the ends, and these,
as far rs wealthy people are concerned, are
handsomely embroidered.

MI. Stevenson was born in Ontario
county, N. Y, Feb. 20, 1926. In 1859 he
went west, and was one of the first to ar

in Nevada. and for the remainder of his

He served three terms in the state senate,

A Tree with u Temper.

1t would seem that exhibitions of temper
do not characterize the members of the
animal kingdom alone. Australia is the
home of a species of acacia known as the
angry tree. 1t slightly resembles the cent
ury plant, has a rapid growth, and often
reaches the height of eighty feet. One of
these curious trees is to be seen in Virginia,
Ney., where its vagaries nave interested
many persons. When the sun sets the
leaves fold up and the tender twigs coil
lightly, like a pigs tail. If the shoots are
handled the leaves rustic and move un-
easily for q time. If the plant is removed
from one pot to another it seems angry,
and the leaves stand out in all directions,
like gu" Is on aporcupine. A most pungent
and sickening odor, said to resemble that
given off by rattlesnakes> when annoyed,
fills the air, and it is only after an hour or
so that the leaves fold in the natural way.

The sleeves were remarkably large and
roomy, and finished with cuffs at least
seven inches long, which when pulled
down covered the entire hand from view.
The material was a pale blue silk, heavi-
ily brocaded, and faced upon the collar,
flaps and cuffs with a silk of a much dark
or blue. Down both fronts ran a line of
little silver buttons and buttonholes
worked in silver thread and surrounded by
silver embroidery;;s so as to. give the effect Of

SEVERAL PERSONS KILLED.
A Storm Plays Havoc in Cincinnati and
Other Places.

CINCINNATI, June An electrical
storm ranged here from : to o'clock
last evening. The rainfall was half an
inch, and the wind was furious.
Great damage was done in the SUI
burbs and adjacent towns. Two or
three persons We're killed, and several
seriously injured. Part Of the Long
view Insane Asylum was unrOofcd.
The storm came from the Northwest
and went South. \ dozen factories and
churches were badly damaged, while
the damage to private property will run
far up into the thousands. Several per-
sons were struck by lightning.
Thr storm almoot devastated Elm
wood, Small.villagc on the Carthage
Pike, five miles from Cincinnati. Houses
were unroofcd, chimneyS blown down
and outhouScs demolished. Mr.. Joseph
Cook and his wife and child were in
their lfouSc when the storm came up.
The house began to rock, and Cook
called to his wife to save herself and
child. She ran out with the child in
her arms, and had barely reached the
open air when the house collapsed.
Cook was not seen to come out, and 1t
is believed he was burned in the ruins.
4 number Of costly buildings were
ruined
