The individuality of Ships.

Lewiston Me. JOURNAL,
To sailor every vessel is an individual.
No two vessels, not even of the same class,
are alike to him. The man who keeps look
out in the Portland Observatory can recog-
nize over 100 different vessels that belong to
that port the minute he sees them 20 miles
away through his telescope. He says there
are no two vessels that ever were alike in
shape or rig. "You see the back of friend
on the street some distance away and you
know him by the cut of his jib," he says;
this is almost literally true liz the case OF
vessels. An old sailor sees the difference
without always being able to explain just
wherein it lies. just as soon as the man in
the Observatory recognizes vessel he tele-
phones down to the owners that their vessel
estimate il to within five minutes at least

GOVERNOR HILL is PLAYING the part of ,

GOVERNOR HILL is playing the part of a
political bull in the Democratic china-shop
in the New York campaign. He started out
by advocating on the stump a measure for
reducing the rate of interest, which the
Democratic candidate had opposed, and last
week he branched out with an assertion that
the Democratic platform on silver was in
favor of free coinage. These bad breaks
present the alternative Of supposing either
that David Bennett is knitting the Democ-
racy, or that he does not know any better
Each idea is equally destructive of the
Governor-Senator's character as a Demo-
cratic idol.

'THE outside public seems to be waiting
for the Wall street mud to SETTLE, says the
New York Telegram and proceeds further with
the assertion that when the Wall street
men get through with "their fraternal
throat-cutting" the outsiders may come in

cutting that troubles the outsider, but the
disclosures of the ease with which the Wall

ordinary investor. When there is some
assurance that the Wall street men will not
fleece the general and small investors there
may be an Improvement But in what shape
can that assurance be given?

The Market Value of Gold.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
To settle dispute, and ut the same time
inform several readers of THE DISPATCH,
please say whether in modern history there
has been any fuctuation in gold? Has its
purchasing power been always the same, or
has it appreciated and deprecated accord

Glove ana vain.


Will gloves go back to toe Renaissance
for styles, as the cloak has done? You
know they wore these gloves all covered
with embroideries and precious stones;
the cuff, widening as it reached the arm,
was an incrustation of gold and silver
and precious settings. 1t was heavy
gauntlet, not p glove. It is not likely
that these will take, as we say in fashion
pariance Women will have the good
taste to cling to the plain kid glove,
which shows the perfect shape of the
hand. The buttoned glove is now in as
much favor as the musquetaire. 1t is
owing to the very long sleeves worn with
every gown, except with full dress.
The tan colors are worn less and the
light shades more. Did you not often
wonder where the kid skins come from
to make all the kid gloves in the world?
When see the mountains of gloves sold
at the Louvre and the Bon Marche in
the bargain season wonder if there
isn't way of manufacturing skins, or
if there are not kids which, like sheep
who are sheared every year, can be
skinned and have skin grow on again
for next years fiaying.
Wells are no longer worn down to the
tip of the nose, but all over the face.
The kindsof tulles and netsAsold for veil
ing are innumerable. The beauty spot
yelling is the most becoming; not the
spots, but the netting itself. Everybody
wears it here. Then there is fancy net
ting, studded with steel, gold and silver
beading and espangles. Some of them
are as thick as the old fashioned Chan
tilly veil which our grandmothers wore.
French women have never taken kindly
to the white veil. They are one Of the
indications by which we single out a
foreign woman. Nor do they incase- the
front hair with an illusion to keep it
down or to keep the ringlets from un-
curling. That, think, is an American
fashion.-Paris Cor. Brooklyn Eagle.
