1y. During the past season it has not re.
quired much vigilance or study. The frock
coats of men are now worn long, stopping
about an inch above the kneepan. They
are always worn buttoned, of course, and
they do not roll open very low or very
high in front. The shoulders are not of
the sloping champagne bottle order, nor
do they resemble the square military cut
1t is sort of betwixt and between COM
promise. The cutaway coat still has three
buttons and is reasonably long behind.
The under vest and white Swiss Innings,
which were affected year ago, have gone
completelo out of vogue. They are not
worn now at all by men of fashion.
Trousers are of what might be called
semi military cut. They are neither very
tight nor very loose, but follow the line of
the leg in general way and are the same
width over the foot that they are at the
knee.
1--WE seem in a general way to have
caught up with London at last AT least
did not notice any pronounced difference
between the fashions there and in New
York when l crossed month ago. Eng
hshmen have become more or less daft on
frock coats, but l suppose they will get
over that in time. Nowadays they wear
them on every and all occasions When
they are not clad in frock coats and top
hats they feel nervous and i'll at ease.
They even go to breakfast in that outfit at
nine o'clock in the morning. They wear
rather square-toed boots in London Just
now, and they have returned to the bell
shape GRO wn in top hats, but there is real
ly no other change"
These views seem to be pretty generally
accepted among New Workers. Lack of
novelty is said to presaCe some extraordins-
ry changes in fashion. Before what is
known as the dude era"-coats with
sloping shoulders and trousers that were
skin tight in their adhesiveness-set in,
there was just such period of stagnation
in mems fashions as now exists. We NAV
be on the eve of great change in mems
fashions, after all.

THE EVANSTON FAILURE.

The details of the failure of the expert
ment in cooperation at Evanston, Illinois,
show that the attempt made there to solve
the servant girl problem was not very well
managed. To carry out the plan a stock
company, the Evanston Cooperative
Housekeeping association was formed, cap
italized at $4,000. That company has now
ties of s4, 900. 1t was hoped to secure $50
families as patrons for the company. Only
40 were secured, which, of course, great
ly lessened the chance of profit, since the
running expenses would not be much
larger for serving the extra 110 families,
while the receipts were much smaller.
Henry Grau, a chef recently employed by
the Hotel Poirtou, Paris, was hired. 'iMr.
Grau was altogether too extravagant," said
President katherine Moore. "He ina
gined that he had the capital of the big
gest restaurant in Paris behind him, an
he expended several thousand dollars to
no purpose when the association was first
organized" Among these extravagances
was the purchase of some very natty de-
livery wagons, gotten up on the model of
those used by the Cafe Chautrant in Paris.
But the price paid hardly warranted so
big an outlay-it was only 81 a week
person for each member of family,
while children were charged only half
rates. Besides, there was dissatisfaction
with the service. The meals were de-
livered ON trays, and the men in charge
of the delivery wagons often mixed the
orders up, leaving meal for six at house
where the order was for only two, and vice
versa.
This was what distinguished writer
once called ''sad ending of brilliant
future" Of course it doesn't prove that
cooperative housekeeping can't be made
a success. 1t only shows that good man
agement is needed in such work as well as
any other.

WHAT THEY HOPE,

A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald
endeavors to cheer up the people of Scot
land whose business interests are affected
by the new tariff law of the United States.
He tells them that there is a good chance
for the repeal of the Mckinley bill in three
or four years. He seem to have no doubt
that the democrats will do all they can for
the Scotch and other foreigners affected by
the new tariff, and he says: 1t appears,
therefore, there is easonable chance of
securing the repeal of the Mckinley act by
the congress that will come in with-let us
say President Cleveland, in March, 1898.
More Democratic senators will be chosen
by that time. 1t would be useless to at
tempt its repeal while Harrison is presi-
dent, even if the senate should be changed
or enlightened, for he would veto any bill
that struck at the principles of that act 1t
should be remembered that though con-
gress ordinarily assemblies in December,
yet the new president has power to con-
vene it at any time after his Inauguration
in March. From all these it is pretty safe
to conclude that the act will be repealed or
wholly modified in three or four years at
furthest
Perhaps SO, and perhaps not. 1t may be
country that it is not good policy to legis-
late for the benefit of manufacturers in
foreign countries.

The Two MYstcries.

We know not what it is, dear, this sleep so deep
and still;
The folded hands, the awful calm, the cheek so
pale and chill,
The lids that will not lift again, though we may
call and call,
The strange white solitude of peace that settles
over all.
We know not what it means, dear, this desolate
heartpain.
The dread to take our daily way and walk in it
again.
We know not to what sphere the loved who
leave us go,
Nor why we're left to wander still, nor why we
do not know.
But this we know: our loved and lost, if they
should come this day,
Should come and ask us, What is life: not one of
could say.
Life is mystery as deep as death can ever be;
Yet OH how sweet it is to us, this life live and
Then might they say, those vanished ones, and
blessed is the thought,
So death is sweet to u.s. beloved though we may
tell you naught.
We may not tell it to the quick, this mystery of
death;
Ye may not tell it if We would, the mystery of
breath.
The child that enters life comes not with knowl-
edge or intent.
So those who enter death must go little chill

Giut of SILK In Japan.


What to do with the vast quantity of
silk now lying unsold at Yokohama is q
topic which engages the attention of not
only business men, but fnanciers in gene
raj. The quantity of silk thus detained is
put at nearly thirty thousand bales
Should things continue in their present
state, and should there be no large influx
of specie, the "Keizai Zasshi' apprehends
that a panic will overtake the Japanese
commercial world at the end of the year.
Our conteus rary questions the wisdom
of the course pursued by the Bank of ia
pan, which has advanced money at a low
rate of interest to silk merchants in order
to enable them to wait for an improve
ment in the market. Had not this step
been taken By the Nippon Ginko," the
silk merchants, says the Toxic journal
might have been compelled to sell their
good at very low prices, but there would
not now be such vast quantity still on
hand. Further, the foreign merchants,
who were reluctant to purchase Japanese
silk on account of the violent fluctuations
of exchange, had no resource but to fall
back on Italian silk. in view of the I'M
compromising attitude O: Japanese hold
ers. From these circumstances our con-
temporary is doubtful whether the facility
given to the silk merchants by the Bank of
Japan has been beneficial either to the
dealers themselves or to the financial world
in general AS to the cardinal question,
whether this silk had better be sold within
the year even at low price, or whether it
should be held over until next spring, the
''Keizai Zasshi" is decidedly in favor of
the former course If there were any Ger
tainty of q rise of price next spring it
would be advisable to wait until then
But when there is no such certainty it
seems far wiser to sell now than to run the
risk of losing large sum of interest dur
ing the interval. How to sell without
bringing down the price to a dangerous
chants concerned.
The "Jiji Shimpo' is of the same opin-
ion. 1t agrees with the ''Keizai Zasshi'' in
thinking it extremely impolitic TO hold on
until next spring. The japanese silk mer-
chants are advised TO sell by all means
within the year But in selling they ought
to preserve their combination in such a
manner that competition among them may
not reduce the price to a ruinous point.
There seem to be some persons who even
propose that the Bank of Japan should
raise the rate of interest on the money ad-
vanced to the silk merchants. so as to
force them to sell their goods But our
contemporary regards such a proposal as
rash and calculated to involve serious
trouble.
The ''Koku-Hon" and the sHochi Shin.
bun, writing on the propeets of foreign
trade in general, seem to take q similar
view of the situation, for they base theiI
calculations on the supposition that the
silk now remaining unsold will be dis
| posed of within the year. Indeed, the
former journal explicitly advises speedy
disposal of the store now lying in Yoko
hama ....

No Change in the Cut of Garments
Since Last Spring.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York SUM-
1t has been noticed this year that there
is an altogether remarkable lack of origin
ality on the part of the mysterious
authorities who preside over the destinies
of mems attire. The conventional articles
about the changes in the fashion of mems
clothes for winter and spring have been
published, but conviction has not fol-
lowed in their wake. The facts are that
there has been no change at all since the
fashions of last spring were adopted.
Inquiry among the leading tailors in
Fifth avenue and Twenty-third street
shows that the same patterns are used for
the garments of men now as a year ago.
and the tailors say that it is the first time
since the war that a season has passed
without some notable change. Coats and
waistcoats are cut neither higher nor
lower in front than they were last year,
and there is not the faintest change in
fashionably cut trousers. A gentleman
who spends good deal of money on his
attire annually, and who is continually
quoted as one of the most correctly clad
men in New York, has on several occa-
sions treated the question of mems fash
ions at careful length for the Suns read
ers. He chatted yesterday in his usual
amiable vein on the subject, but he started
in with the assertion that there was really
nothing new to tell.
"It is now," he said, NEARLY a year
since an interview which 1 gave you for
The Sun was published and promptly com
mented upon by some of the tailors, as
well as the writer's in journals devoted to
clothing interests. The position that nv
| critics took at that time was that had
| shot very wide of the mark when said
| that the loose trousers and low cut waist
coats which had just come in would all
disappear within a few months, and that
we should come down to the attire of the
middle grade order. l said that business
men would soon relinquish double breast
ed sack coats, because they were so awk-
ward when unbuttoned, and that they
| would come back to the single breasted
| jackets, which are and have been for the
| past five years the most comfortable and
convenient garments for hack wear.
| knew, when the big clothing houses began
to turn out double breasted sack coats by
the thousand, that the doom of that parti,
cular coat was sealed. At present the
double-breasted jacket is just about a:
popular as the single breasted one, but il
does not by any means hold the position
that was claimed for it.

BUFFALO BILLS DAUGHTER.
She Can Break a Horse in a Way Alex
auder Would Have Envied.

Finally drew up before the Cody resi-
dence, about half mile east of the ranch,
and, with sigh of relief, / dismounted and
tied Mr.. Morgan to the gate post. Yes,
Mrs. Cody was at home, the servant said
in answer to my query, and 1 was ushered
into the most prettily furnished little par
lor that had ever seen. Mrs. Cody came
in few minutes later and entertained me
for nearly an hour with pleasing reminis-
cences of the lives of herself and her intre-
pid husband during the earlier days of
frontier life. She was a pleasant, easy,
graceful talker, and fully as handsome a
woman as her famous husband is a man
She was from Philadelphia. and Cody
came from Chester, the adjoining county
During our conversation their little FIVE
year-old daughter, Trma, came in and en-
tertained me with q lot of childish prattle
about what he- father was doing in
Europe, after which she gave me an illus
tration OF now she could play the piano.
Cody's eldest daughter, Miss Arta, was
not at home. She had gone to the state
fair at Lincoln. Mrs. Aria was then TWEEN
ty-one years of age, magnificent queenly
looking young woman. who was credited
with having as much courage and self con-
fidence as her father. Many pretty stor-
les of her pluck are told by the residents
of North Platte. Among them is the fol-
lowing:
Some years ago, when Miss Arta was
about fourteen years of age, Cody had in
his stable large, handsome, high-spirited
horse, who was particularly vicious; so
much so. in fact. that Cody himself did
not care about riding him. One day Aria
concluded that she would ride this horse,
although the stablenan saught 10 disuade
her. She was determined. however and
succeeded in getting n bride on him. and
then leaped nimbly on TO his back The
horse reared and plunged, but the girl kept
her seat. Finally the animal threw her.
She was up again in an instant, and once
more on his back. This time the animal
threw her over his head, and she struck
the ground heavily, scratching her face to
a considerable degree. With blood stream
ibg down her face, her eyes filled with
tears, and her rage so great that she looked
like young tigress, she sprang to her feet
crying, ''The brute. I'll ride him now if
he kills me- and, suiting the action to the
word, gave the horse the most terrible
beating he had ever received and when she
had completed the animal was as docile as
the proverbial 'Old Dobbin,' and Miss
Arta rode off triumphantly, while her ia
ther and the stablenen looked on in aston
ishment-
Another illustration of her confidencei in
her ability to take care Of herself is fur
nished by the fact that one day, during
Cody's first trip to England, she was read
ing letter from him, and at once decided
that she would like TO see her father again.
That was on Wednesday, at North
Plata, Neb-, and on the following Satur-
day she a steamer leaving New
York for England, and travelled the entire
distance of over 5000 miles alone.
