Pretty spring dresses for girls eight
to twelve years old are being made in
"shirt suits" with a sleeveless jacket
and skirt of cashmere, and shirt waist
of wash silk. An excellent model is of
stem or gray-green cashmere and green
and white striped silk. The silk shirt
is gathered on drawing string at the
waist, the edges below slipped under
the skirt. At its top shallow pointed
yoke is stitched on smoothly, the stripes
meeting in VS. in the back, the front
points ending in line from the top of
the shoulder seams, leaving all the full
ness between gathered just below the
neck. The full silk sleeves-the only
sleeves of the frock-have deep straight
cuffs. The turned-over collar is edged
with a plated rutfle of the silk, and
two such rufiles extend down the front.
The cashmere skirt is of two and a
half or three straight breadths widely
hemmed, and gathered to a belt which
is covered with black MORE ribbon two
inches wide, with hanging ends at the
back. This completes the dress for the
house and for warm weather. but for
the street is added sleeveless jacket
of green cashmere, the fronts falling
open from the throat to several inches
below the waist, the corners square,
and the back fitted by side forms, and
slashed in four squares. Very narrow
black passementerie is set on all its
edges, on small side pockets, and also
around the armholes Gray, ecru, and

Use of Mice Tails.

Before we had much observed mice,
the use of their long tails was q ques-
ton that had puzzled us. We do not
know of what service they are to the
females, but to the bucks they are, we
see, of use in their combats: for when
they fight they very often face one an
other standing on their hind legs, the
tail then making, as with kangaroos,
tha third -fAatIl..-- "a .. ss,itA>1- --. ---
Their appearance when they thus
stand facing one another with their
heads thrown back and their paws in
front of their faces is, on account per-
haps of the resemblance it bears to the
posture of prize-fghters, extremely
comic. Small mice, also, when at
tackled by their bigger congeners, raise
their paws before their faces, the atti-
tude in that case strangely suggesting
one of depreciation.
What occurs when belligerent bucks
actually engage, only instantaneous
photography could record, so rapid are
their movements. Presumably they
try to bite; but must consider defense
the better part of valor, for they never
appear to get hurt much, and between
the rounds will nibble away at the
crust which brought them into the
vicinage, only showing their excite
ment by rafting their tails against thu
ground. Occasionally. O tail seized by

Buildings Put Up Quickly.

"What do 1 think of the rapidity
with which buildings are run mp now,
as compared with twenty years ago,
you askp Why, there is no compari-
son as far as the time consumed is con-
cerned."
Such was the remark of q member Of
one of the largest building fr.ns in
New York to Ne,oS reporter the
other day.
To whot 10 the ohAnee due
well, there are several causes. To
commence with, the hod-carrier at
which you newspaper men were always
making jokes, has, for practical pur-
poses, become back number. Bricks
and all classes of building material are
now hoisted by derricks and steam
lifts and there is no longer any climb
up long ladders. Then again no time
is lost now, and every man that can be
utilized is put to work on building,
while the material is much easier TO
handle, being better shaped.
II might say that the era of rapid
and high building came in with the
craze for fre-proof structures. Hol-
low bricks, steel and iron castings have
enabled architects to accomplish won
ders, and rapidly as buildings spring
up to-day they are fully as strong as
those which twenty-five years ago took
three times as much time to erect"

SEIZED BY BRIGANDs.
TURKISH HIoHwAYMEN DERAIL
A TRAIN.

Several WoII-Known Tourists Carried on
Prom Their Retreat I'm the Mountains
the bandits Send Out Demand for
$4,000 Ranson-The German Ambassa-
dor Will Advance the Money and the
Porte Will Repay II.
A party OF brigands near Tchereskai
placed obstruct!ons across the railroad
track and succeeded In derailing the
Eastern express, says o telegram from
ConstantinopIe. When they had thus
brought the train to standstIll they
found that there were several German
and English tourists among the passen-
gers. One Of them was o banker OF
Berlin. The brigands have demanded
$40, 900 as ransom for the captives, and
Chancellor Won Caprivl has telegraphed
to Herr Won Radowitz, the German Am
bassador there, authorizing him to ad-
vance this amount The remaining pas
sengers were despoiled of their belong
inRs and were then left alone.
The place where the act of brigandaga
occurred lies between this city and
Adrianople The band which made che
attack on the train numbered thirty
men, led by the noted robber Anastasius.
The brigands first seized the watchmau
on duty at the railroad station, and
when they had prevented him from Civ
ing an alarm they set TO work and tore
up the rails for some distance. They
set no warning signal for the engineer
OF the train, but allowed the cars to dash
on to possible destruction. When the
Eastern express reached the spot the
engine tumbled over on its side. dragging
with it the tender, baggage car, and
| all the third class passenger coaches
| The first-class passenger cars luckily die
not follow the rest OF the train, but re
mained safely on the road.
When the train was thus disabled the
| brigands rushed forward, uttering louC
yells and brandishing their guns in {
most threatening manner and boarded
the cars. Several OF the passengers re
sisted the attack, but the brigand
| replied with a volley from their guns
and dangerously wounded one neu Of IN IA,
outlaws finally overcame the occupant
of the cars and proceeded to plunde
them, stripping the travellers OF all thei
valuables and looting their baggage
When the brigands ended their work o
robbery they seized four Of the passen
gers in the first-class cars and also tn
engineer of the train and then starte
with their captives for their rendezvou
in the mountains.
The men carried away by the outlaw
were: Oscar Greger, Herr Israel,
banker OF Berlin; Herr Maquel, a land
owner OF Siegelsdorf, Bavaria; Osca
Kotysch of Zorbig, Prussian Saxony
and Freundiger, the engineer OF tn
eastern express.
Upon reaching their retreat the bar
dts sent Herr Israel to get the ransor
of $40, 900 which they demanded for tn
release of the prisoners. Herr vo
Rodowitz says the Porte will refund tn
| money.
