IL VIII Mako War More Dangerous Than
II Has Hitherto Been.
The new gun with which the German
infantry is to be equipped bids fair to
revolutionizo infantry tactics and to
make war so dangerous that enlistment
will be matter OF difficulty. The new
instrument is the small-caliber repeat
ing gun of the model of 1883. Its caliber
is but millimetres and its range Is
IL, 800 feet, or 1000 feet greater than
that of the weapon whose place it takes.
1t is very light and Is constructed for
the use OF tho new smokeless powder.
Earth breastworks less than ~ feet
are no protection against this terrible
weapon. A description of it says
"From now on even the stoute vt trees
will give tho foot-soldier in battle but
little protection, for the balls from the
new guns viii simply pass right through
the trunks. Six men in column, each
seven PAGES from the man behind him,
may be Shot through with one bullet,
provided that it comes in contact with
nc metallic substance on the persons Of
any of them, The advantage that the
bullet of tho new gun leaves cnly a
small hole behind it is comparatively
insignificant Moreover, should an en-
emy, as has often happened, defend
himself benin village or courtyard
walls, he Will bc protected only in case
the wall is remarkably stout, for balls
from the new guns have repeatedly
penetrated with ease walls a brick and

One day in the years gone by, when

Denver daily, man came tramping up
stairs with n copy Of our last issue in
his hand, and said:
Gentlemen, / want to know who writ
this piece about me"
1t was an item copied from San
Francisco paper in regard to the hang
ing of a man named Tom Smith by a
vigilance committee, and the editor
looked IL over and rcpl!Od:
"This wasn't writ about you. 1t is
about Tom Smith who was hanged in
California"
THAT'S me. I'm Tom Smith"
"Dut you arc not that Tom Smith. 1t
tells how he was cut down and buried. 4"
Makes no difference to me; I'm Tom
Smith, and it is all a lie about my being
hanged, growlcd the visitor.
Cant there be any other Tom Smith
besides you?" demanded the editor.
"Ncvor heard OF any. That was writ
to slur me-"
"You are mistaken, man. Can't you
see that we copied it from a San Fran
cisco paper"
"Well. that's all the same to me. The
idea was to ruin my reputation in this

Blazers, cutaway jackets and iartless
open bodiccs of every description are to
rage all summer, and natty shirt-waists
and fancy blouses and waistcoats accom.
panying these, are in every possible
style, and made of nearly every sort of
material. Some of white silk are tucked
horizontally, perpendicularly and di.
agonally--into most striking and grace
full forms, all of which are very chic and
novel. Others are thorn-stitched, silk
embroidered, beaded, braided, galloon'
trimmed, or they are laid in soft folds
and crossed in front over deeply pointed
neck pieco or plastron, made of some
particularly rich and elegant material.
Less expensive blouses and shirts are
made of cream white clairctte and other
sheer woods which can be cleaned when
soiled. These have deep plait just in
front fastened with shirt studs, with
tucks each side of the plait. Striped
and polka-dotted washing silks also
make serviceable and pretty blouse
fronts and waistcoats. The stifly
starched English shirt with shield
shaped bosom, made of plain or fancy
percale, is supplemented by four-in-
hand scarf, belt and buckle, or soft
Turkish or tennis scarf at the waist.

1t is a gratifying thing to know that
although the tendency both here and

few leaders of fashion who are taking
most decided stand against the inno-
vation. Why any stylish, sensible, ar
tistic or even tidy woman should ever
wish to give up neat, graceful and
ladylike mode of wearing the skirt of
her street gown, for one that is wholly
tho reverse in each of these respects, is
past mpaehension. A lady well known
for her elegant and fashionable style of
gowning last week quietly requested
her dressmaker to remove the dress
skirt she was fitting upon her, and with
her own hands pinned up the hem of
the over-lengthened skirt There" :"
she said decidedly thus far and no
further. My skirt is now happy

mine shall as long as live to wear one"

DRESSES FOR SUMMER.
Charming Fabrics and Garnltures Tha
VIII BE Worn Everywhere.

The lovely fabrics of silk, wool and
cotton. which are woven with special
reference to summer uses, are so numer-
Gus and so various that the veracious
chronicler of Madame La Modes die
tates is dismayed at the idea of review
ing them.
In dainty all-wool and silk-and- wool
fabrics, there are exquisite tints OF
artistic greens, heliotrope, old-rose, soft
dove and cleaning silver grays, which
are made up for evening wear in various
simple styles and ornamented with rib
bons arranged in all the fanciful ways
imaginable. Among these materials are
Henriettas, summer cashmere yelling
and albatross, which may be made up
alone or in com bination with silk or
moire or surah, either figured or plain.
Figured challies are favorite materi-
ais for summer wear, and are usually
made with a rather full skirt trimmed
with many rows of narrow velvct-ribbon,
and with draped waists also trimmed
with ribbon.
For morning wear, zephyr ginghams
in pink-and-white, blue-and-white, heli-
trope-and-white, check mixtures, and
all varieties of fancy br oxen plaids are
made up in easy washing styles for
country wear, and in something resem-
bling the tailor-made dresses, for the
sea-shore. Lovely creations of colored
lawn and lace, remotely resembling tea.
gowns, will be worn at watering-places,
with fairy-like parasols to match; but it
is little too early to see them in all
their varieties. The simple hem
stitched white lawns with deep en-
broideries make pretty summer dresses
for all day-wear, and fiat, wide sash of
ribbon is all they need to make them
quite dressy.
Summer church-dresses are of black
fish-net draped over surah, or of grena-
dine surah, or sills-and-wool mixture.
Jet is very much used again, and pretty
capes with high shoulder-putfs and deep
VS. reaching to the waist, back and
front, are deeply fringed with jet beads,
as we'll as covered with them. These
are pretty compilations to almost all
simmer toilets.
Very stylish dresses for the promen.
ade are the French pattern-robes en-.
broidered in Nandyked points around
the skirt, or that portion of the material
which is to bo made up into the skirt,
and an embroidery to match for the
corsaGc, often in the shape of Figaro
jacket. These robes are in finc qualities
Of wool in all the fashionable colors, in
ginghams, Chamberys and mulls. and
usually are accompanied with n parasol
and fan to match.-Demorest's Fami.J
