The German shipbuilders are evident

fast steamers. The City of Paris burns
33s tons Of coal daily, while the Fuerst-
Bismarck only consumes 80 tons daily,

cent. In favor OF the German boat. which
develops higher speed than her Clyde

Of coal. less number Of men to handle

Bazaar promoters-and their name is
legion at this season-are beginning tc
realize that expensive trifes, beautiful
to look at but of no use and as orna
ments very perishable, do not obtain tn,
ready sale Of former times. There wa
"a time when the patrons of these affair
expected no equivalent for their money
regarding their expenditures merely a
disguised gifts. The frequency an,
persistency of the demands of thes
affairs have gradually worked q change
and purchasers now need some tempt
ing. Things useful go off much better
than things merely ornamental.
AT n recent charitable sale in the par.
lors of a suburban cottage the success OF
the evening was a table devoted to the
disposal of small circular capes made Of
tweed and ladies' cloth and designed as
a light. piazza or country driving wrap.
They were nicely made with a hood that
could be drawn over the head if desired,
such being lined with self or contrasting
colored silk, and provided also with long
ribbon ties which matched in color the
silk Innings. So great was the demand
these serviceable little wraps that the
customers could not be supplied at the
time, and many orders to be filed later
were taken.-Her Point of View in New
York Times.

l wonder how many of the home
makers know how desirable nasturtiums
are for window plants. Some Of the
most beautiful colors come in the dwarf
varieties, which lose their dwarf nature
when grown in the house, and often
reach a length of three or four yards.
Take up carefully without disturbing
the rootlets some of the smaller plants,
and put each one into a jar filed with a
light rich soil in which there is plenty of
leaf mold and some sand. Put the
plants in the shade for a few days until
well established, and bring them into
the house before they blossom p~rofusely.
In filling a large window box with
them, it is a rood plan to place the mas
turtiums next to the glass, having an
outer border of sweet alyssum or mignon-
cite either of which grow and bloom
freely in the house,, as the nasturtiums
drop heir lower leaves as they begin to
climb. A handful set in a border of
their W light green leaves is a refresh
ing gift for a sick friend, while a well
filed n%asturtium jug on the dining table
is n 10y forever ."-Arkansaw Traveller.

this reflection. "C%neyenne's sheriff lay
sole blame for the recent Jail delivery Al
the door of the county commissioners
who refused to equip the prison with q
steel door. The worthy and Justly irate
sheriff evidently forgets that even an
adamaut door would not Undue his sub.
ordinates with that quality so essential to
successful prison guardrng-physical cour-
age"
From what we can learn County Com
missioner Hoyt will probably agree with
this view OF the matter. He considers it
an outrage that the county should be to
The expense OF arresting, maintaining and
convicting criminals and then have them
get away from the officers whose duty i:
is to keep them. That the sheriff should
hold the commissioners in any way ao
countable, seems to him ridiculous. The
next thing that will be charged, - said Mr.
Hoyt, lis that one OF the county com
missioners borrowed a pair of whiskers
and went up to the iall and rescued the
prisoners.
We sincerely nope that Sheriff Kelley
will not feel called upon to go this extreme
length.

II women smoke much nowadays they
can at least plead that the example is set
in high circles. The empress of Austria
smokes thirty to forty Turkish cigarettes
every day. On her writing table there
is a silver box, with fine relief work,
filled with cigarettes, and a gold ash
tray. The czsrina also yields to the pas
sion for nicotine, but she only smokes in
her boudoir, a copy of n of the pretti-
est rooms in the ALEXANDRIA, filled with
palm trees. Her anxiety may plead her
excuse, but Queen Marguerite of Italy,
whose life is freer from care, smokes
also, and smokes much, but always in
solitude. The queen regent of Spain

THE ~BOOL4NGER BUBBLE


The homely old phrase that he went
up like a rocket and came down like a
stick" applies with great force and ac-
curacy to the career of Gen. Boulanger,
who committed suicide at Brussels yester-
day. Boulanger's career was meteoric in
its brilliaUcy aud quite as evanescent. He
sprang suddenly into fame. One day his
name was entirely unknown outside OF the
next 1t was blazonsd from the housetops
of the universe. The idol of the army,
the possible dictator, the man who
seemed to hold the destiny of the nation
in the hollow of his hand, BoulauRcr
seemed to walk on thin air with the world
smiling at his feet. He gave his name
to a political party. A march was conn
posed 10 his honor, which for tho passing
moment seemed to rival the Marsellaise
il its soul stirring qualities He was
feted, admired and coddled, and for the
time being France seemed to sink its in
dividuality as distinctly in him as 10 the
first Napoleon.
Then there was a twist in the wheel of
fortune and BoulanGer was an exile.
