This was the first package Of letter.
put up under tho new arrangement
made by the PoatofEice Department foI
marking letters on shipboard while in
transit. By the new arrangement al
letters are assorted and placed in sack
and sent direct to the postolIice fol

leave the vessel that brings them over
Formerly all this nail had to be marked

Under the new arrangement tht
postal clerks on ehipboard have ample
time to make their assortments, and the

Forty Years a Rccluse.

f. f. Lobb, brother of d. S. Lardner,
residing at Piseco lake, in the Adiron-
dacks. is expected to live but a short
time. He has been n hunter and trap
per for over forty years and now has
consumption, although he did not go
there for health and was not aware of
any predisposition to pulmonary trou-
bles.
Mr.. Lobb was ambitious as must
clan, but lost his hearing, spelling his
musical future, and in his disappoint-
ment he Went forty miles into the woods,
built him a cabin by Piseco lake and
took up the life of hunter and trapper.
He was there twenty-five years before
Mr.. Lardner knew where he was. Since
that time Mr.. Lardner has visited him.
and he was here several years ago and
spent several months, and was here
again more recently. His recluse life
was remunerative and his furs were sold
at the settlements.
During the progress of affairs at the
lake, which has now become popular
resort, Mr.. Lobb built him comfortable
home, and when O. b. Ives was at the
lake he formed very pleasant acquaint-
ance with him.-New Britain Conn.

The Cycling Girl.

However little she may realize it.,
every girl who rides her steel horse is a
vivid illustration of one of the greatest
waves of progress of this century, the
advancement of women in freedom and
opportunity. Here, as well as every
where else, she is little belated in
claiming her rights; only little, for it
Is but twenty-one years since the bicycle,
rs we know it, was invented, while the
safety styles, which women affect, are
very recent improvements.
1t is a curious historical fact that the
first women lecturers upon physiology
were women's rights women, and viewed
by the majority of people as dangerous
to female modesty, while the Ladies'
Physiological institute in Boston was at
first much disapproved of by the clergy.
So long, too, as old fashioned "stays"
Qaced up sometimes by the aid of equally
old fashioned bedposts) remained in
vogue, neither physiology nor athletics
stood much chance with women.
But the often derided dress reformer
has had her way, to great extent.
Bathing dresses, gymnastic and tennis
suits, which would have frightened an
Eighteenth century dame into one of her
favorite fainting fits, have reconciled the
public taste to the fact that women, after
all, are women, not angels, nor footless

Two Moons in the Washington skv,

About 1 o'clock one morning recently
beautiful spectacle was presented in
the northwestern sky. The moon was
about 20 degs. above the horizon, and
the air was so surcharged with moisture
that a halo, with an apparent diameter
of eighty feet, was formed. In some
parts this halo was rather indistinct, but
on the right hand of the moon, as one
looked toward the south, the halo at one
point gradually increased in brilliancy
until there was perfect mirage Of the
moon. The phenomenon continued for
several minutes and then faded away.
An observer thought that the best desig-
nation Of it would be "moon dog" as it
resembled the phenomenon which is pro-
duced sometimes by the atmosphere and
the sun, with the exception that the sun
has annually four dogs. Washington

The Trout Caught the Diamond.

This is the way the latest fish story is
told hereabouts: Joseph S. Frey and
William Bercaw were trout fishing up in
Monroe county on Saturday. While
forcing his way through thick clump
of bushes overhanging the stream Ber-
cav saw a good sized trout dart out
from a bank of the creek and pass di-
rectly beneath him. Working his way
to secluded nook a few feet above, the
anxious angler cast his fly with such
skill that in few seconds he caught and
safely landed a speckled beauty about
ten inches in length. He made second
effort, but could get no more trout there.
Well, the fishermen continued on their
way until their sport had ended and they
seated themselves to clean their fish, of
which, of course, they had a fine lot. On
opening one of the trout the fish was
found to contain diamond shirt stud
This caused Bercaw to look for his dia-
mond, when it was found to be missing.
Then it flashed to the fisherman's mind
how fortunate he had been-that in pass
ing through the brush his diamond had
been forced from his shirt front; the
trout he had seen dart in front of him
had swallowed the jewel, and then he
had succeeded in capturing the fish.
To a reporter who inquired of Mr.
Bercaw concerning the truthfulness of
the story, the latter declared it to be a
fact in every particular.-Easton (Pa.)

On porches and under trees hangs the
ever popular hammock; but how often
does extreme heat, or even wet weather,
prevent its being used outdoors. But
hung in the house in a cool hall or room
there is to be found comfort even when
the giddy thermometer scales the nine
ties. Hammocks are always much cooler
than any lounge or chair could possibly
be. And they are so very pretty and
graceful this year that they could not
possibly detract from the appearance OF
any room-on the contrary, adding to it.
This year tho fashionable hammock Is
of pure white cord, with wide white
hounces on the sides. The generous pile
Of turkey red pillows renders these very
picturesque. Where there is large
porch set with all manner OF red chairs
such draped hammock would be APP
proprite and artistic.
Some lovely and cool looking ham,
mocks are in gray white, and some in q
cool, quiet blue are very restful looking.
Hang hammock in the city home for
the children who cannot be taken to the
country. When winter comes you will
be likely to leave it in place, only spread
ing in it warm looking rug, both for
looks and feeling. 1t is then quite a
decorative feature of your room, and
will even take the place of lounge or
sofa.
There are many gay colored hammocks
also; these all have drapery and large
tassels. The elastic pillows which come
for hot weather use are nice for ham,
mocks, even if not very beautiful. For
hammock pillows no covers are more
suitable than those of pongee. which
are so cool and agreeable to the touch
and so easily Numbered. -Housekeepers

An amount of luxury is now put into
summer fiannels which not so long ago
would have been deemed fabulous. The
greatest advances have been made in
the intermixture of silk with the wool,
either in toto or used for the colored
stripping upon the white wooden ground.
The beauty of these goods has permitted
the nightshirt to regain much of the
ground taken from it by the extraordi-
nary popularity which pajama sum ave
enjoyed of late years.
Swell dressers, or rather undA0ubrs,
have quite abandoned the linen hight
shirt in favor of either silk or flannel,
at the present moment, giving the pref
erence to such as / have named above.
In underwear there is not much change
except in that patterns and fabrics are
very quiet. Little silk is being shown,
because there are so few Americans here
to buy it, Englishmen going in much
more for light gray natural wools."
The English system of making draw
ers is somewhat more elaborate than
ours, inasmuch as they go in for a sort
of abb -minal supporting waistband or
'belt," as it is called, buttoning with as
many as eight buttons in front, and
lacing through eyelet holes behind. The
idea of tight abdominal bandage
comes, like pajamas, sashes and twenty
other specialties, from Englands hot
exotic possessions. Returning colonists
bring a good idea home with them and
it speedily becomes the rage for hot
weather wear.-London Cor. Clothier
and Furnisher.

"Fll take vichy and lemon"
The speaker was young and lovely
girl; her blue gray eyes peeped out from
under a tangled mass of brown hair
with look of intense admiration for the
athletic looking young man who stood
by her side. They had entered Fulton
street drug store in search of some liquid
refreshment, and the young man had
asked his fair companion the question
usual on srch occasions, in something
like the following words: "Well, Floss,
what are you going to drink" The coy
girl answered the question in the words
with which this story opens.
The athletic young man turned pale
He had spent every one of Lis twenty.
eight summers in Brooklyn and had had
a different girl each season from the time
he was fourteen years of age, and had
spent many cold, hard earned dollars in
drug stores and ice cream dens or par
lors," as they are called in Brooklyn
Every one of these girls had invariably
replied to the query of "What are you
going to drink" with the stereotyped
Brooklyn girl" reply of Il guess I'll
take vanilla cream"
Consequently, when this latest flame
of his broke the record by calling for the
extraordinary decoction of "vichy and
lemon" the surprise was too much he
gasped, reeled and fell senseless to the
floor He was taken home, and it is
thought that by careful nursing he will
be able to be out again in a month or so.
