American Yachts.

In the building of fast steam yachts
there can be no doubt that America is a
long way ahead Of the rest of the world.
As Harry Warrington told his noble
cousin: I'VE Americans never boast, -
but the fact remains. Here are two
steam yachts, one launched in Paisley
and one III Bristol, r. l., in the same
week. They were yachts of about the
same size. The Scotch boat was designed
by Watson for the Allans, and made tif-
teen knots an hour on her trial trip. The
American yacht was designed by HERE
shotf and has guaranteed speed of
twenty-ti five miles an hour. The British
sporting papers consider the speed Of the
Hermoiue, which is the name of the
Scotch yatcht, to be rather remarkable.

In olden times if person accused of a
crime refused to plead he was condemned
to the forte peine ct dure." He was
stripped, taken into dungeon and laid
on the floor, with sharp stone under his
back. On him was laid a door, whereon
were piled heavy weights, as much as he
could bear and more. The first day three
morseis of bad bread were given TO him,

water and SO until he died. If prisoner

a little Philadelphia boy had an ideal
Fourth of July at a cost of only cent.
With that sum of money he bought box
of matches. Then he wandered along the
street Till he came to sidewalk mer-
chant with q good stock of firecrackers.
SIyly lighting one of his matches, he
threw it among the fireworks 1t sized
for moment, then there was an expIo-
sion, and that stand of fireworks was
scattered all over the block. The small
boy was so delighted that he at once
started off to repeat the experiment.
But the second time it didn't work. The
owner of the stand caught him and
spanked him SO hard that he still feels as
if whole shipload of firecrackers had
been exploded in the seat of his trousers.

Men as a rule belong TO the idealistc
instead of the impressionist school of art. and
are apt 70 idealize woman rather TO see her
as she is. A man never stops to dissect q
woman's dress; he accepts her as she seems
and not as she really is. He appreciates the
little dainty accessories of the feminine toll

to the harmonious ensemble. and he neither
knows nor cares what they cost-that is if he
is not her husband.
He instinctively feels when she is we'll

ARTISTIC DRESSING.
AS for the women they commence with the
gown and the bonnet and like q skillful
painter work up the high lights by means Of
oit OF gold or silver embroidery. CLINT of
yellow or flame color, or the scintillant
sparkle of jewel.
The shadows take care of themselves: they
darkle within the folds of sheeny silk, or play
hide and seek amongst the filmy laces and
brilliant flowers. The woman of real artistic
perceptions always interposes an airy nothing
OF lace or chiffon between her face and the
collar or her dress; In this way she banisnes
the trenchant line which seems 10 divorce her

"A primrose by the rivers brim;
A yellow primrose was to him"
So says an oft quoted English poet. and so

shifting sunlight or note the atmospheric
effects whose transparency produces the
lovely grays which soften down the too-bril-
liant tints of the trees and flowers.
THE MODERN WOMAN.
The modern woman is nothing if not pro-
gressive, and she understands the effect of
light and shade much better than the woman
of twenty years ago. Dress was not then as it
is nova cult. and few women knew anything
about it. The woman of to-day is nothing if

This is a work Of great merit from
the pen Of Virginia authoress. The
scene of tho story IS laid in the great
Valley OF Virginia and aside from the refresh
ing variety of he plots, as compared with the
average Hoyel' of to-day, the work must be
OF peculiar interest from IT'S descriptions of
lic and dialect II that section. The pictures
of valley farm life as IL was Just after tho war
are faithfully drawn, not exaggerated
0r unnatural. without the monotOnOus
labor hat dialect story entails, the reader
becomes familiar with the peculiar idioms
and quaint sayings OF the Valley peasantry.
Throughout the book there runs a strain Of
doep thought, well expressed. The moral
truth is high-the scenic description perfect
one almost seems to be riding across the
country. through It's fields and forests. The
whole style of the book is true, and it de-
serves 10 take ITS place among the leading
works OF fiction of the day.

STUNNING BOATING COSTUME.
'tRlng Rule In Citles.v

The case of John Bardsey city treasurer
Of Philadelphia. appears to be one of the
worst of its kind that has ever occurred. IL is
not yet known how much of the public
money has been lost through bis peculiar
methods of doing business. but the amount
exceeds 81 900 900 at least. and may turn out
to be considerably larger. The most inter-
esting and suggestive feature Of the matter.
however is not that which pertains TO
the extent of the loss. but that which
shows how easily the, funds OF
city may be distracted. and how little the
people know about the manner in which
municipal affairs are being conducted. Phila-
delphia. like New York and every other large
city, is practically governed by a ring OF
spectators and boodlers. These rings have
control of the political machinery. and are
able thus to dictate nominations and
control elections. Sometimes they are
of one party aud sometimes OF
the other They have no political convictions
except for purposes OF plumber, and sys-
tematic corruption marks their course in all
contingencies Their only object is to manip-
ulate contracts. to blackmail corporations,
and to get "a much money out Of the city as
possible. There is little or no opportunity to
defeat the jobs of these conspirators. because
they have men in most or all of the municipal
offices swho do their bidding in every re-
spect. if not for share of the profits,
then in consideration of political favors.
The people have no means of prOtec-
ton when once the ring gets posses
sion of the legislative and executive applan-
ces They are purposely kept in ignorance
of the general operations of the different
branches of the public service, and it is i'm
possible for them to learn more than the ring
is willing to disclose There is no proper
sense of responsibility on the part Of the Off
GERS. since they hold their places by the grace
of the booders and feel entirely safe so long
as this support can be retained The
reports of the various departments when re-
ports are made do not present the facts in a
plain and satisfactory way; there is always
more concealed than revealed. Such thing
as a complete statement of city finances is
unknown. The taxpayers contribute GER
tain amount Of money each year for the
maintenance Of the city government. and
il is expended or squandered accord
ing to rules which are so adjusted rs 10
suit the designs of the ring. regardless of all
other considerations. Right here lies the
most inviting field of political reform IL IS
ring rule in cities that represents the grayest
evils of government in this country. The
people Immediately concerned are strangely
Indifferent upon the subject at present, but
the time is come when they will see It's impor-
lance and take proper steps TO establish
cleaner. cheaper and safer order of things.
