NOTES FOR THE WOMEN.

In Lap1and dress fashions have not
changed for one thousand years.
QUEEN ELIZABETH started the style of
wearing silk stockings and Marie An
toinette instituted the custom of wear
ing feathers in the hair.
NINE. HENRI GREvILLE, who has seen
more of this country than most French
women, says the American woman
makes too many acquaintance and too
few friends.
WHEN it is desired to have the gloves
cover the entire arm, as may occur with
evening dress, they are secured to the
shoulders by straps Of satin ribbon that
buckle on the gown.
NOBODY wears wells adorned with
beauty spots now unless the dots Of
court-plaster are arranged with clever
eye to detail and effect-in other words,
every girl is her own veil maker, and
she places the small black disk in such
place as will call attention to her most
beautiful feature.
A WEDDING costume worn by O Lon
don bride had rich white silk royale
train, bordered with white ostrich
feathers, and opened over a beautiful
white velvet skirt richly embroidered
with pearls. One-half of the bodice
front was of white silk; the other Of
velvet draped with crepe de Crime. The
tulle veil was held in place by three
diamond stars,

rolling sea was sharp in outline.
With my camera resting on my knee,
l took an instantaneous photograph as
the sun came out from behind a veil al
clouds and cast its long sheen over the
sea from the horizon almost to the very
stern of the vessel.
Entirely wrapped in my reverie, I sat
watching the ceaseless sea, and the glow
of the sunlight, thinking only of the
world so many thousands of miles awav.
Four months of hardship and danger
were yet ahead of us. This little craft
would carry our messages home, but
with her would go all communication
with the world until we ourselves en-
tered port. What changes might these
months bring forth!
MAN the 'Lucretia's' boat" was the
rude intrusion upon my reverie and five
strong oars were soon carrying us to
our own vessel.

rall, the man at the wheel struck eight
bells.

gently at their anchor-cables.

TO STARTLE EUROPE.

Tho Surprise of Constantinople BY Russia
to Come as a 1hunderclap.
BERLIN, Sept 13.-The Hamburger
Correspondent contains a sensational
article entitled 1.-THE Cossack Stroke on
the Bosphorus' According to this,
Russia meditates a surprise to Constan-
tinople by a concentrated landing
of $4,000 troops in European and
Asiatic Turkey. The Bosphorus
forts, it is said, are to be at
tackled from the rear; the approach of
hostile fleets is to be prevented by tor
pedoes, while it is calculated that a
Russian torpedo fleet could enter the
Golden Horn at night and completely
destroy the Turkish fleet, and that the
whole could be accomplished in twenty
four hours. The article details expert
ments made in embarking and landing
troops on the Black sea. conducted under
Gen. Roop since in 1856. and the study
ing of the ground by Russian officers on
the spot in the guise of searchers for
nihilists, traders and antiquarians.
Complete plans for everything are said
to be ready and only the command from
St Petersburg is now needed.
A St Petersburg dispatch says that
preparations are being made for two
year general mobilization of all forces
in April 1898. It only remains to com
plete the equipment of the troops with
small caliber rifles, which could be
made quickly by Russian factories if
required.

Reading at Public Libraries


In Paris. as well as with us, it is
found that the value of public free IL
braries as a means of educating the
masses is small An attempt was made
to induce people who frequent the
sixty-four public libraries in Paris to
prefer instructive books to works of
fiction; but the only result of this was
decrease in the number Of readers
So the endeavor was abandoned, the
authorities coming to the conclusion
that it is better the public should read
novels than not read at all At present
nearly SO per cent of the books taken
out are novels But in London and
Paris we may as well accept the inevi-
table. The free library is not q place
where the ardent student learns the
latest lessons of science or studies the
masterpieces of literature past and
present The reader. if of the male
sex, goes to search the scriptures of the
sporting prophets; if a woman. to read
the fashion papers and the fiction OF
the day. The books best worth read
ing are unread--St James Gazette

RUN DOWN AT SEA.
An Unknown Vessel Struck By the
Arizona Steamship.
Search For the Missing Schooner Unavail-
ing Arizona Passengers Greatly
Alarmed Until Safety Was As
sured By the Omcers.

QUEENSTOWN, Sept 1.-THE Guion
line steamer Arizona, Capt Brooks,
from New York, September S, for
Liverpool, arrived here yesterday in q
battered condition Certain passengers
report that at an early hour on Sunday,
Septembe 6. while the vessel was In a
fog but steaming rapidly an un-
known sailing vessel believed to
be a large coasting schooner, struck
the Arizona's port quarter. The pas
sengers, who were in bed at the time
of the accident, were awakened by the
shock and noise of the collision and all
rushed on deck. 1t was seen that thirty
feet of rail and a lifeboat had been
smashed, that the deck was damaged
and that several plates had been bent
Owing to these ominous evidences of
a collision, it was at first believed that
the consequences Of the accident were
more serious than proved to be the case
The passengers were much alarmed
and life belts were prepared, but the
fears of all were soon allayed- The
Arizona for a long time searched in
vain for the unfortunate sailing vessel.
A part of her bowsprit was left on the
Arizona's deck. From wreckage seen
it is feared she foundered- One passen-
ger makes the following statement:
''After passing Sandy Hook we en-
tered a haze, which later became a
dense fog. The fog horn was kept
blowing. About il p. m. a loud re-
port, like the bursting of a boiler,
startled the passengers, who rushed on
deck. The captain. who was on the
bridge, ordered the engines reversed at
full speed. He assured the passengers
that the steamer was all right and or
dered them below. Afterwards the
officers stated that a three masted
ship had struck the Arizona on the port
side almost amidships, and then disap-
peared The fog steam whistles and
fog horn were kept going long after the
collision. but nothing was discovered.
The steamers pumps were started, but
no water was found. So violent was
the collision that the passengers sleep
on the damaged side of the steamer
were thrown from their berths."
