THE proposed French law against
spies is terribly rigorous. Death will be
the penalty inflicted on every one who,
while concealing his name, position,
calling or nationality, gathers, or per-
mits to be gathered fer him, in a forti-
fed place, information which pertains
to the defence and safety of France in
her relations to foreign enemies. The
same fate, says the Army and Navy
Register, is designated for every one
who, under similar conditions, may be
caught in French territory collecting
statistics, making Typographical notes,
or studying the systems of roads and
railways, so far as any of them has any
bearing on the national defences. ely
per-Draconian," the German dailies call
these provisions, while maintaining
that the passage of the law will place
the life of German tourist in France in
times of excitement quite at the mercy
of military courts or civil juries sitting
behind closed doors. The military COM
mission of the chamber has considered
the proposed law favorably.

Racing with Wolves.

Many thrilling tale has been told by
travellers of race with wolves across
the frozen steppes of Russia. some
times only the picked bones of the hap
less traveller are found to tell the tale.
In our own country thousands are en-
gagged in a life-and-death race against
the wolf Consumption. The best wea-
pons with which to fight the foe, is DIR
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
This renowned remedy has cured myr-
lads of cases when all other medicines
and doctors had failed. 1t is the great
est blood-purifier and restorer of
strength known to the world. For all
forms of scrofulous affections land con-
sumption is one of them,) it is unequal
ed as remedy.

that her gown was very similar to half
a dozen others that were made for the
season at Brighton.
1t was of navy blue Devonshire serge.
The jacket had full sleeves to the elbow
and long, stiff cuffs. 1t also had long
skirted basque. The whole jacket, with
sailor collar, and vest Of white cloth,
fitted the figure like wax and was
shaped without apparent seam or fold.
1t was absolutely tight fitting. The
broad, white cloth lapels, which turned
back from the vest, were beautifully
embroidered with navy blue anchors
and strips of navy blue braid. Half
dozen rows Of the braid crossed the
front Of the vest, both above the bust
and below the waist line. The skirt
was perfectly plain, with a full back,
the only ornament being a very
large anchor embroidered on the lower
left hand side of the skirt. A broad
brimmed, rather high-crowned sailor
hat went with the costume, and white
Tyrol outing gloves. The whole effect
was described as being ''just as pretty
as it could be-
Still another yachting suit which was
used also for travelling costume was
of royal blue Devonshire serge, with
sleeves full to the elbow and close to
the wrist. There was a square collar,
very high standing, with vest and la
pels of Jersey stockinet. This was
crossed horizontally with braid. The
skirt was of gray serge with five rows
Of braid running horizontally around it.
The gray and the blue and the red har-
monized very prettily, and the general
effect, while not elegant when con-
sidered as a travelling suit, was never
theless neat and light and graceful.
The costume was, moreover, inexpen-
sive. So that If sudden shower or any
of the exigencies of travel impaired the
complexion of the gown, the wearer
felt that she could throw 1t aside with
out seriously damaging her pocketbook
In replacing the gown.
1t is quite the style now, as summer
occupation, to design patterns for the
center of train, or for the panels and
lapels of dress.
BY way of pastime, women of taste
provide themselves with pad of trac-
ing paper, neatly fitted over frame,
and fine pencil, and then, with the aid
of wild flowers, ferns, sea grasses and
MOSES, they sketch a pattern for what
will, in the fall, be beautiful creation
when it is made up into a lovely en-
broidered design for dress.
The Princess Christian showed much
taste and delicacy of feeling when she
designed a wedding robe for the Prin-
cess Louise. The material of the gown
was rich white satin, and there was, of
course, an immense court train large
nough to cover space almost ten by
twelve feet. In the center of this i'm

A frowsy- hairedeYouth Of some six
summers appeared on the scene at this
juncture, says the New York Herald.
After cycling the clergyman critically
for moment he broke out with:
''Say, pa, what is a jay!'
An ominous frown settled on the
brow of the indulgent parent as he re-
piled: "a jay, my son, is rather
snowy bird having a low, erectile crest
of feathers and"
''But, pa, they can fly, can't they?''
Certainly, my boy. They are noted,
too, for their propensity to chatter, and,
for instance, to ask foolish questions !"
The frown deepened as the boy went on:
''But how can they fly, pa, without
any wirgs?"
''My son, 1 think 1 heard your ma
calling you few moments ago
Eyes, pa, I'm going, only as heard
you tell ma last night that our new min
lister was a regular jay, just wanted to
come in here to see whether he could
fly. Say, mister Ito the astonished
clergyman, you amt got any feathers,
have you?"
There was sudden rush on the part
of the indulgent parent, followed by
the sudden disappearance of the youth
full inquisitor. Then came a series of
discordant bowls from the hall beyond.
''My dear sir" observed the parent,
upon entering the room, while I admit
that am kind and indulgent parent

At this point the front door.was heard

disappeared, and now Mr.. Easyman is
talking about renting pew in another
church.

mense train was a large embroidered
pattern of myrtle and orange blossoms,
intertwined with purple and white rib
bons. The ribbon and the flowers were
all exquisitely embroidered by hand.
On the back Of the train, just below the
waist line, there was also another
bunch of flowers, extending down the
left side and almost meeting the larger
one on the train. Similar flowers en-

dream of prettiness and no mistake, If
it is worn with brunette with rich
olive complexion that does not show
too much of the pink next the skin.
You have seen pictures Of Ivan
hoe, as he stood at the great race, bow
ing low, preparing to take off the
picturesqe hat which adorned his much
worshiped head. Well this summer
you may see plenty of young women in
Ivanhoe hats. They are fancy straw,
caught up on both sides, and fastened
close to the crown. The front comes
down in a rounded point, and the back
is made into a sharp point The Ivan
hoe hat is not trimmed at all except by
a wreath of small roses which goes all
the way round the crown.
And so the pretty women this year
are catering wonderfully to the mems
fancy, and are wearing the tiniest little
hats that have ever been seen. A little
bonnet that appeared just a short time
ago consisted of q mere speck of
diamond lace, gathered at the front
with a velvet bow and a pink rose, and
at the back with an aigrette, another
velvet bow. Velvet strings were
brought down and tied closely under
the chin. 1t was tiny, but it was
pretty.
Little hats like this are worn when a
woman goes out to walk of an after
noon; when she goes driving; when she
makes piazza calls; when she goes to
the springs, or in short when she goes
anywhere, except to the races. The
woman who goes to the races almost in
variably wears a big hat. A big hat
has a jaunty, fyaway look that seems
in keeping with the spirit of a woman
when she goes forth to put up her good
money upon the uncertainties of horse
flesh.
Just one more hat. 1t is the tiniest of
all, and you will surely say that it is
not the least pretty. 1t is turban-
shaped, without any brim, and without
any crown. A little of gauze is drawn
along each side of the couture and at
the back there Is abundant gauze, from
under which comes bunch of daisies
and stalks, which lie over the couture
and fall over the front, almost down to
the bang. In the front there is also a
little bow of the gauze as background
to the daisy blossoms
