The Newest Gloves.

The newest gloves for day and evening
wear are in the fashionable color-corn-
flower blue These are loud, and no lady
with a modest taste in dress would care to
wear them. Doeskin gloves in mild shades
of tan and brown, with leather bindings
and brass buttons, look smart with tailor
made gowns. They will stand a good deal
of hard wear. The prettiest evening gloves
are in soft, nameless shades of pink mauve,
gray, drab and yellow. Short gloves are

M. Coquelin,s Real snores.

He must feel, but he must guide and
check his feelings as a skillful rider
curbs and guides fiery horse, for he has
double part to play; merely to feel
himself is not enough; he has to make
others feel, and this he cannot do with
out the exercise of restraint. Let me
make use of an instance afforded me by
M. Coquelin himself.
Once, he says, he was tired before he
came on the stage, and falling sound
asleep when feigning sleep, he snored
real snores instead of feigned ones. The
result was, he tells us, that he never
snored SO badly. Naturally SO, since he
had lost control of the steed of feeling by
the fact of his sleeping, and so it ran
away and carried him he knew not
where; but had M. Coquelin at some
time in his experience shed real tears,
while at the same time in full possession
of his waking faculties, and had he been
able to guide those tears into the chan
mel that his artistic sense told him to be
the right one, then we should not have
heard that the audience found those real
tears less effective than tears wholly
feigned and the product of intellect
rather than of feeling. in Cent

THE DYKES OF HOLLAND.

Their Appearance and How They Pro.
tect the Land and Are Protected.
A certain jealous dame is said to have
once attempted to sweep the ocean away
with broom. The Dutch have been
wiser than this. They are slow and de-
hberate people. Desperation may use
brooms, but deliberation prefers CLAW
and solid masonry. So, slowly and de-
hberately, the dykes, those great hill
like walls of cement and stone, have
risen to breast the buffeting waves
And the funny part of it is they are so
skilfully slanted and paved on the out
side with fiat stones that the efforts of
the humping waves to beat them down
only make them all the firmer!
These Holland dykes are among the
wonders of the world. I cannot say for
how many miles they stretch along the
coast and throughout the interior; but
you may be sure that wherever dyke is
necessary to keep back the encroaching
waters there it is. Otherwise nothing
would be there, at least nothing in the
form of land; nothing but fearful il
lustration of the principal law of hydro
statues: Water always seeks its level.
Sometimes the dikes, however care
fully built, will 'tspring Leak and if
not attended to at once terrible results
are sure to follow. In threatened places
guards are stationed at intervals and a
steady watch is kept up night and day.
At the first signal of danger every
Dutchman within hearing of the start
ling bell is ready to rush to the rescue.
When the weak spot is discovered, what
do you think is used to meet the emerg-
ency? What but straw-everywher
else considered the most helpless of all
things in wateri Yet straw, in the
hands of the Dutch, has a will of its
own. Woven into huge mats and Sc
curely pressed againstlthe embankment,
it dehes even rushing tide, eager to
sweep over the country.
These dikes form almost the only per-
fectly dry land to be seen from the
ocean side. They are high and wide,
with fine carriage roads on top, some
times lined with buildings and trees.
Lying on one side of them, and nearly
on level with the edge, is the sea, lake,
canal or river, as the case may be; on
the other the flat fields stretching damp
ly along at their base, SO that cottage
roofs sometimes are lower than the shin
ing line of the water.
Frogs squatting on the shore can take
quite a rdseye view of the landscape,
and little fish wriggle their tails higher
than the tops of the willows near by.
Horses look complacently down upon
the bell towers, and men in skiffs and
canal boats sometimes know when they
are passing their friend Dirk's cottage
only by seeing the smoke from its Chin
ney, or perhaps by the cart wheel that
he has perched upon the peak of its over
hanging thatched roof. in the hope that
some stork will build her nest there and
SO bring good luck.-Mary Mapes Dodge
in St. Nicholas.

The Average Congressman 1. Poor

To the average congressman So, 900 a
year is considerable money. I would
not like to say that there are any gentle
men in congress who do not attach more
Importance to the honor of seat in the
national legislature than they do to the
amount of salary they are paid for their
services. Still, have good reason for
saying that there are more men in con-
gress who manage to save something
out of their salaries than there are of
those who practically never touch their
allowances as congressman.
There are several men now in the
house who live during the session of
congress upon the amounts that they re-
ceive as mileage and what they are al
lowed with which to purchase station
cry. At home it does not cost them any
ready money for their expenses, or if it
aces t:-ey ;.4e able to make sufficient to
meet them. Consequently these con-
gressmen are able to save the $4,000
they receive during their term of Office.

A nIastodon,s Tooth.

DR.. 81. Miles Cochrane, of Houlton.
Me-, has on exhibition at his dental
rooms an extremely rare curiosity. 1t
is the tooth of a mastodon, known as
such, according to DIR. Cochrane, from
the couical raojections upon its surface,
and showing it to belong to a vegetable
eating animal akin to the elephant. It
was discovered in the earth about five
feet from the surface of the ground by a
man engaged in excavating for a cellar
to house in Monticello. The tooth is
about thirteen inches in circumference.

The Hagerstown Mail thinks the
talk, of Mr.. German as a presiden
tial candidate in 1So7 is the mere
ebullition of temporary excited feel
ing. To seriously consider him
as such, is to commit triple injustice;
to Mr.. German himself because it
undertakes to place him athwart the
deep seated and well founded pre-
ference for the man who has won a
greater and more lasting victory for
the party and the people; to Grover
Cleveland, the hero, upon whose
brow ought to beplaced, with CRATE
full unanimity, the laurel wreath OF
acknowledged leadership; to the
democratic party, whose allegiance
is already rightfully pledged and
due to the great man who has led
them once to glorious victory, and
who has also shown how we'll waged
battle for the education and relief OF
the people may be lost without the
loss of honor or of strength
To suggest Mr.. German or any one
else who captures an outpost or who
makes a brilliant dash into the
enemy's stronghold is to accuse the
party of the weakest vacillation and
fckeness of purpose, which would
not only auger but guarantee certain
defeat,

Mr.. BLAINE is cutting across lots
to the Republican nomination for the
Presidency. The campaign cry OF
1884, says the New York correspond
ent of the Philadelphia Ledger has
become again the tavorite refrain
among Republicans. Since the an
nouncement of the Brazilian recip-
rocity treaty there has been a re-
vival of Blaine enthusiasm, and now,
to Judge from the talk one hears on
the street and in the clubs, it would
seem as if nothing could prevent the
nomination of Blaine in 1892 except
his own absolute declination. Public
men who come here from all parts
of the country, and who are willing
to talk on politics, reflect the strong
Blaine sentiment which seems to
exist equally in all sections. Blaine
men believe that the Secretary of
State is stronger to-day than at any
other period of his career, and they
decare that he could carry New York
against any Democrat who could be
nominated.
