Is made of a strip taken on the cross,
and has a scam in the middle in order
the better to match the design OF the
velvet. The coming season will show
no weakening of the rage for old French
styles. Every epoch will be drawn upon
for novelties, IL you W II pardon the bull.
For example, the Nalois will furnish us
toques and pulled sleeves; Louis XIII.
will contribute lace effects, berthas in
particular; Louis XIV. will suggest
lowered silks, ribbon effects, bow and
Vatican folds and jeweled buckles.
From Louis XVI. we shall get, among
other things, the Marie Anto.nette
fichus, while the Directory will make
itself felt in the line OF large revers and
pocket flaps. and the times of the EN-
press Josephine will be remembered in
cur girdles and low necks.
1 show a dainty capoto in my second
illustration, a thing of dark-green velvet
and passementerie, the velvet being a
double fold In front and resting upon a
broad band OF passementerie, or, IL you
choose, Of gold lace, futed with an
a'grette and ostrich tips at the back.
The tailor-made walking dress will
hold it's place more tenaciously than
ever, and it deserves go to do, for the
great designers have literally lain awake
over the problem of how to make it
more fascinating than ever. No woman
will admit that she doesn't look well in
a taiIor-made, and can't help admiring
her courage, for an artistic tailor-made
is, in one sense OF the word, the gown of
to-day. You can't be In the fashion
without 1t. 1t corresponds to the cuta-
way Of male attire. You may, as the
men do with that, wear your tailor-made
everywhere, hence IL is an economical
gown, even when it costs you &C nsidcr-
able money.
You will find this gown OF to-day pic
tered in my third illustration. 1t is the
very perfection of outdoor garments,

A boy with a Purpose.

Cornelius Vandcrblts's real educa-
tlon was gained in working on his
fathers farm, and in learning to sail
boat, and drivea horse. He showed
in boyhood the very quality which
distinguished him as a man-the
power of accomplishing things in
spite Of difficulty and opposition.
When he was twelve years old, his
father took a contract for getting the
cargo out of a vessel stranded near
Sandy Hook, and transporting it to
New York in lighters.
1t was necessary to carry the cargo
in wagons across sandy spot. Cor
nelius, with little fleet of lighters,
three wagons, their horses and drivers,
started from home charged with the
management Of this difficult affair
After loading the lighters and
starting them for the city, he had to
conduct his wagons home by land--a
long distance over Jersey sands.
He left the beach with only six dol
lars, and reached South Amboy penni-
less, with six horses and three men,
all hungry, still far from home, and.
separated from Staten Island by an
arm OF the sen half a mile wide, that
could only be crossed by paying the
fe.ryman six dollars.
This was pllzzling predicament
for a boy Of twelve, and he poDdered
long how he could get out OF it. At
length he went boldly to the only inn
keeper of the place, and said:
Il have three teams here that
want to get over to Staten Island. If
you will lend me the money to pay
the ferryman, I'll leave you my best
horse, and IL i don't send you back
the money within forty-elght hours
you can keep the horse.
The innkeeper looked into the
Efight, honest eyes OF the boy for a
moment, and said: aI'll do it."
He gave the boy the money, and a
horse was left in pawn, hut he was
redeemed within the time promised.

WHEN woman says man takes
his wife's death hard" she means
that he groans, and means, and
screams, and tears his hair. II he
sits dumb under his affection, she
says he is not affected very much, and
that he will be married again in a
few months. The emotional sort of
grief appeals to the WOMEN so much
that IL a man screams when his wife
is buried, and marries again the next
day, they say that his great sorrow
affected his mind, and that he is
irresponsible.

THE son of a prominent Chicago
clergyman was arrested for stealing
S22 from his fathers carpenter. The
young man explained that he felt an
uncomfortable desire to steal money
whenever he saw it and was there

the ground that he was a klepto-
maniac. This scientific term is a
great convenience for the courts. 1t

something to eat, he would have been

pantaloons make one think of those
of the late Senator Van Wyck, which
were said to have been cut with a
circular saw. Bland is about ten
years older than Harter. 1t is now
fourteen years since he got the silver
dollar bill, OF which Senator Allison
is said to be the author, through the
House, and IL was through it that he
had made his great reputation. He
has been fghting for silver ever
since. Mr.. Bland is of medium
height. and he would weigh about
IT'S pounds. His voice is deep, and
his words come forth from rather a
large mouth, the chin OF which is
ornamented with a sandy brown
beard, and the upper lip OF which has
a mustache OF the same color.
Bland cares but little for appear
ances. He talks but little to those
around him and he has none OF the
sociable qualities of Harter. He is a
man of ability, however, and his
character is above reproach.

A Type Of Rock-Weatherlnx Common
Near the Rocky Mountains.

A Type Of Rock -Weather1nx Common
Near tho Rocky mountnins.
The type OF erosion OF which the
illustration is an example is not un-
common in the western highlands OF
the United States. A number OF fine
examples are found in the Garden OF
the Gods, Colorado, and many equal
ly striking ones have been found I'm
or near the various parks OF the
Rocky Mountains. Along the course
OF the Colorado River, usually between
canyon walls, this. type OF rock
weathering Is common. Frequently
there Is such an array OF spires, mon
uments, and crested buttes, that
among the Indians who occasionally
make their way thlther, the region Is
known as the Land OF Standing
Rocks" A cluster OF rocks OF this
character presents such a delusive
appearance that on one occasion Il
party'of the Geological Survey, for a
moment deceived by the close re-
scmblance, believed the cluster to dc
city In the distance. In comment

The formation Of these fantast!cal

WALT WHITMAN, after brave and
cheerful struggle, has finally passed
away. He lived to see his reputation
firmly established and himself under
stood by those whose judgment is
worth the most. Admirers of Whit
man will derive great pleasure from
that thought. AS to the good gray
poets place in literature, the question
will form subject of debate for
many years to come. He himself
said that a century might e,apse be-
fore the triumph or failure OF his
methods would be assured. The dis
tinguished consideration which he
has received of late from the very
highest quarters must, therefore,
have afforded the old man unusual
satisfaction, and must have come to
him somewhat in the nature of SUR
prise. 1t is impossible in 50 brief a
mention as this to discuss so vast and
81. much-debated assubject as Walt
Whitman's life and life-work. There
are one or two phases of the subject
that stand out oonspicuously and that
compel unquastioned admiration.
Whitman was an answering, sub
lime, phllosophic optimist. He be-
lievcd in the ultimate best of the
republic, the race and the beyond.
He was and is the greatest optimist
of these times when it is fashionable
for small minds to be pcssimistic
He stood upon mountain height Of
optimism, and il all the rest of man.
kind had been doubters he alone
would have stood bravely in the sun
light. There will be many who will
think that the mans individuality
was greater than its written express
sion. He loved everything and every
body. A great portion OF his life was
given over to severe physical suffer-
ing, occasioned by disease contracted
while nursing the sick and wounded
of the war. Through it all he was
cheerful-not stoical, but brave. His
various expressions on the subject OF
death, and his department while sit
ting face to face with the grim spec
ter in the little room in the second
story of the Mickle street cottage,
ought to give him a permanent place
in the hearts of all seriously minded
people. The lines beginning "Over
the hill tops 1 float thee song" and
a poem printed in recent number
Of Harpcr's are among the noblest
utterances on the subject in any
tongue. in the London Truth Henry
Labouchcre complains that we have
enough of the ordinary sort Of poetry.
There Is consequently no demand for
rehashes Of old rhymes and old con-
ceits. All interest in a gentlen an
describing the setting or the rising
sun, the charm of woodland or any
other scenery and such like subjects
has vanished, because all this has
been overdonc." Walt Whitman is
no'mere rhymster-no mere embalm er
of pretty conceits in. graceful verse.
He is either grcit original genius,
one OF the few historic figures of lit
erature, or he is nothing. On that
broad ground must his fight for fame
b. made.

AS A rule people are cool enough
except in the little things of life. SO
many of them lack the ability to be
agreeable; so many of them are bores
and have foolish notions that an
hours study might rid them Of. A
man who never steals may be very
impolite and very tiresome. A man
who is never guilty of murder may be
unfair and have contemplate ways.

Scotch Recipe Tor Orange Marma.ade.
Before the orange season wanes
wise housewives will lay in a stock of
orange marmalade for late spring and
early fall breakfasts. Here is a gen.
uine Scotch recipe for it: Pare the
oranges as thin as possible, and cut
the rind into tiny strips. Cut the
oranges into four pieces, and put
them in the Jelly pan with water
enough to cover them Squeeze them
the while with the hand until you
can bear the heat no longer, and then
press the pulp through clean hair
sieve. Add the chips OF rind, and to
every English pint OF juice allow one
pound OF sugar. Add the juice and
grated rind OF one lemon to every four
pounds OF oranges, and the juice OF
two sweet oranges TO every pound of
bitter oranges. For Jelly, proceed as
above, emitting skins aud chips.
While the jelly Is boiling throw In
the rlnd of couple of sweet Oranges
and OF two Lemons, but remove them
when the jelly is turned out.
