The Poems of Fashion.

The poetic diction Of tho ladies who
condescend - for consideration - to
write concerning the fashions is some
thing to wonder at. We are told this
year that the summer underlinen now
being shown in the shop windows is
simply q dream Of soft, delicate confec-
tons in silk and lace" And it is further
specified that there are accordion plait-
ed nightgoWns, falling in creamy rifles
from neck to toes, and accordion plated
petticoats as light as air." It is the year
of weddings, and the getting together Of
a trousseau of undertaking of this fan
tastic and ethereal sort must have been
q keen delight to the feminine SOUL

Mr.. Coon's Warm Drive.

"Cne hundred square miles Of desola-
ton. Millions of acres OF burned tim
Der land" is how C. Fl. Coon, of New
York. briefly describes the burned dis
trict of Wisconsin. Mr.. Coon has just
returned from the district recently de-
vastated by fire, and he says q person
who has not visited that part of the
country since the flames swept over it
can form no conception of the desola-
ton there Mr. Coon was at Eagle river
when the fires started with a fishing
party, and remained in the country I'M
til last week. He tells Of a narrow es-
cape he had from perishing in the flames
when near Lake Content:
I'VE became so used to the fires and
smoke that not much attention was
paid to the situation" said he. 1--WE
went about our business just as if moth
ing unusual were going on. | was re-
turning from the lake one day with q
fine string of walleyed pike when |
found myself with my two ponies and
cart between two fires. The wind was
blowing a hurricane, and thought my
time had come l could not get back to
the lake, as escape that way was cut off.
My only chance was to get to the wide
creek, but in order to reach it would
have to drive through burning timber a
distance of 100 yards. l did not have
much time to debate the matter, and
was soon dashing through the flames,
applying the whip freely to the ponies.
"Unlike most horses they did not hest
tate when the burning underbrush was
reached, but dashed madly on. Iheld my
handkerchief over my mouth and nos
trils, not daring to inhale the smoke and
heat. Finally the creek was reached
and the ponies plunged into the stream,
and as | was minus eyebrows, hair and
whiskers, and my clothing being on fire,
i, too. threw myself into the water For
two hours the ponies and remained in
the creek before it was safe to venture
out. During that time we were almost
suffocated with smoke and heat. Nearly
all the hair was burned off the horses,
and l was kept busy while in the creek
putting out charred cinders that fell
upon the bodies Of the ponies and into
the wagon. "-Chicago Tribune.

Every year, when autumn approaches,
Queen Victoria has her trunks packed
and goes a pilgrimage to the shrine Of
the late John Brown at Balmoral. The
quiet life which her majesty is generally
leading becomes then absolutely dull and
greatly exasperates her suite. From the
windows Of her royal apartments the
queen can glance at the white marble
monument on dear Johns tomb, and all
her time is devoted either to the mem
DRY Of the lever lamented' Or the faithful
servant who managed to crawl up to
such high place in her royal affections.
Once in d while, however, the dullest
of all the crowned heads in Europe feels
dull herself. Last year the parson Of
Balmoral, who is daily guest at the
royal table, seeing her majesty so bored,
and knowing her weakness for every
thing Scotch spoke to her Of one of her
tenants daughters, who could dance the
reel better than any girl in Scotland.
The young lady was ordered to appear
before her majesty the following day.
When ushered into the queens presence
her majesty said, Il hear you can dance
the reel WE'LL Dance
There was nothing left for the young
lady to do out to dance and she did it so
gracefully that her majesty's severe face
almost took pleasant expression.
After the performance was over she
asked the girl if the queen could do any
thing for her.
The young lady first hesitated, but
suddenly replied, Indeed, your majesty
you can"
"What is it,"
"Give me Mr.. Gladstone's head on a
charger"
Casting a severe glance at the girl the
queen turned round and said: ''Dea1
child, / will willingly give you the
charger, but Mr.. Gladstones head l can

she souelched Him and Then Went


twas oroiling, blistering, swelter-
ing hot day. Every man in the car wore
Wilted collar and had 8 cinder in his
eye. There seemed to be nothing on
earth to do but to wipe your streaming
face and swear. AtTwenty-third street
there came into the car a girl as fresh
and cool as a nosegay of sweet peas in a
shower bath Of dew. Not man but
stared at her in respectful delight and
felt cooler and better natured. But one
fellow in the corner, q poor, misshapen.
withered up chap, with one foot in a
brace, stared too long. You knew she
didn't like it by the way the pink deep
ened in her cheeks and the white teeth
shut into the full red lower lib.
Finally she looked up at him, with that
grave, steady light in her eyes, as only a
good woman can look when she doesn't
want any nonsense. That kind OF a re-
buze usually makes a man so ashamed
of himself he can't look himself in the
face for q week. But the Individual re-
turned the look with a bold, insulting
glance, before which the steady eyes fall
tered and fell and the red famed up in
her cheeks. Feeling his eyes still upon
her, suddenly she looked up again, not
into the mans face, which was fairly
good to see, but coolly over his extremi-
ties, as much as to say: you poor wretch,
who are you, with your miserable sem
blance of manhood, to think woman
would flirt with you? What mistake
you are, anyway y
Well, the fellow was pretty lame, but
old Mercury, with his winged sandals,
couldn't have hustled out of that car any
quicker than he did, and at the first sta
ton sneaked off the platform.
And the girl-well, in a minute she
was sitting up very straight, with lips
that looked as if they wanted to CULVER,
and bright, shining eyes, and on the
cinders in her lap were two round, wet
spots.
Girls are the queerest creatures in the
world anyway. 1t WAS wicked thing,
Of course, but she had to do it. And
the idea of feeling sorry afterward!--

More Remarkable Than Chang and Eng.
A remarkably interesting phenomenon
was shown at the Office Of The Figaro to
very limited number of specially in
vited guests, comprising the most dis
tinguished medical men in the metropo-
lis. Among the laymen present were
Lord Lytton, M. Alexander Dumas, M.
Ludovic Halsey, M. Munkacsy, M. Ger
vex, M. Detaille, Prince Roland Bona
parte, Senior Ruiz Gorilla and M. Clemen-
ceau. The phenomenon consisted of
twin sisters joined together at the lower
part of their bodies.
They were born in Bohemia and are
fourteen years Of age. They are not
united by mere ligature like the Sia-
mese brothers, but resemble rather the
formation Of Mile Christine, some years
ago exhibited all over Europe.
Mile Christine, however, had only
one stomach, so that the two sisters. ex-
perienced the feelings of hunger and
thirst at the same time. It is not so
with Rosa and Josepha, who, having
two stomachs, have distinct tastes ia the
matter Of food and drink.
Maurice Lefore, a member of The
Figaro staff, who introduced the young
ladies, told an amusing story Of how
they had tasted champagne for the first
time. Both were taken i'll. .,.
Josepha made up her mind she would
not touch the dangerous wine again,
and she has kept her word, whereas Rosa
still INDUCES in the beverage.
When one was ill the other was very
angry at having to go to bed, and in
sisted on feeding in her usual way. They
are thus quite different beings, SO far as
sensations, inclinations, mind and heart
are concerned. ~
The children are quite pretty. They
are healthy in appearance, and they ap-
pear to be very an1iable and good tenn
pered. On their way to Paris curious
question was raised. The officials
wanted to reckon them by heads,
whereas the manager insisted on the op-
posite decision and gained his point, SO
they came for a single fare.-Pa Paris Cor.

Money Wanted by the Pope.

The Catholic world of France is dis
turbed by the news that the pope will
soon be obliged to make new appeal to
their generosity. The damage done to
the Vatican and st. Peters by the recent
explosion Of the power magazine at
Rome is calculated roughly at !e332, 900.
His holiness cannot possibly apply to the
Italian government, and has no doubt
that he will not be placed under the
hard necessity Of seeing his palace and
the church of the Prince Of the Apostles
falling to ruin for want Of imperatively
needed repairs. - Paris Cor. London
