Frau Probsti, who enjoyed the dis
tinction of being the heaviest woman in
Europe, recently died at Traubring, in
Bavaria, at the age of Il. At her death
she weighed over $50, and on account of
her enormous weight it was impossible
to carry her coffin from the first story OF
the house in which she lived. Conse-
quently boards were put down the
staircase, over which the coffin was slid.
"A pretty story is told of Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe to the effect that when she
was child of only nine she was SO
charmed with the melody of the Italian
language as she heard it in class of
other girls that she secretly procured
a grammar, and studied by herself until
she had gained sufficient facility to
write the Italian teacher a letter in her
own tongue, asking permission to Join
the class.
Abraham Lincoln, like any ordinary

properly there that we feel sorry to see
it adopted with such extravaganza in
regions where it does not properly be
long. For instance, one sees it all over
on the streets of New York; every other
girl wears dark blue skirt waist, and,
perhaps, dark blue blazer. Even in
the shops the girls behind counters are
SO clad; so that the Watching girl looks
rather ruefully It her pretty suit and
feels that it has lost half of its charm
by this prevalence of blue.
But in spite of this fact, she is not
6aunted, but plans costume that is
quite original in cutat least, if not in
color. The short, neat skirt is braided
in fine design, in white, and is finished
off bedow with narrow, blue velvet
band Her coat9s longer than the regu-
lar blazer, and is buttoned closely down
the front, except where the collar turns
down low at the neck, displaying little
dark blue silk front, and white collar.
She wears white cuffs also, and white
chamois gloves. Her little blue hat is
trimmed very simply, and her dotted
veil is very thin and fine.
So many New York society bellies are
fire vachtsmen that it IS not Surprising
the sport grows in favor with every
season. When a woman can stand
actually stand-on yacht and endure
the motion of the vessel, calmly giving
some order at the same time to the
skipper or making some suggestions,
while the waves may be dashing wildly
against the yacht and storm steadily
gathering, it is no wonder a man feels
proud to take her out; and women are
coming to that more and more every
year. Mrs. George Gould, as every one
knows, is great yachtswoman, and
enjoys nothing better than trip with
her husband. Mrs. Willie K. Wander
bilt, too, goes yachting every sum-

of the women conversing in ship Ian
guage. It is certainly quite as impossi-
sible to understand them as if they were
one of the ''hands."
Another awfully pretty blue costume
comes out next week for the first time.
1t isn't of the regulation blue color,
but one of those dark purplish shades,
something the color that very blue wa
ter becomes when it works itself up In
to rage. 1t isn't made very much
like a yachting gown, either, for it has
great pulled sleeves that only come a
trife below the elbow, leaving the soft
skin bare underneath, for the girl that

ORIGIN or WHITECAPS.
Hsw This Noted Band Of Outlaws Game
It's Name,

Haw This Noted Band Of Outlaws Gained
Its Name.
81 suppose there are fewer people in
this country who know the origin Of
the term 'whitecaps' than there are
those who have fallen under the ban of
the scoundrels in Indiana and other
western states" said Hiram Berry, of
New York, IN the ST. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. ''The term did not originate in
this country, but its origin dates back
nearly a century to County Kerry, Ire
land Nearly one hundred years ago,
when Ireland was more populous than
at present. and when the people were
not SO harassed by British misrule,
there lived in County Kerry large and
influential family named Whitecap,
who, whenever any of their reighbors
became too obstreperous or immoral,
waited on them in the night, took them
from their houses and gave them
sound thrashing with a cat-o'-nine-tails
as warning to desist from their wrong
doing and evil practices. Similar clans
were formed in other sections of
Ireland, all of whom were called White
caps, not white caps, two words, as they
are written in this country. The pop
ular impression is that the appellation
comes from the form and color of the
headdress that the Indiana regulators
wear when perpetrating one of their
outrages, but this is mistake, as the
history of the movement proves. The
Whitecaps in Ireland were n terror to
evil doors, and were of value to the
good order of the society of their day,
but l don't know that there is need for
them in any part of America"

gloves on when she goes a sailing. Her
hands are put through a careful renova-
ton every night that restores their
wilderness completely, and so she dis
ports at her own sweet will under the
suns rays with apparent recklessness.
The waist of her dress is made in
pretty soft folds that are gathered in
to full bodice laced in front-an of
the same blue material, which is not
very heavy. The high collar stands off
considerably in front; disclosing more
of the white throat than the yachts
man usually does. The skirt is a trife
full, and the breeze catches it In aide
hghtful way and plays with it glee-
fully.
On gay yachting party that started
forth this morning one could see many
more colors besides blue. White, and
white and red, and white and yellow
seemed to be the favorites. One dainty
white costume had q fine blue and white
braid at the bottom of the skirt. and
all around the blazer, which was lined
with delicate white figured silk: the
loose white silk front looked very cool
aud airy. Indeed. now that we put our
SILK fronts on the thinnest and coolest
OF linen. we can wear our blazers with
out any feeling of discomfort Another
advantage is the economy we can exer-
else in making them. And what is
dearcr TO woman's heart than the
thought that she has actually been
economical for once in the making Of
some garment? All one needs is a yard
and half of fine linen. and couple of
yards of white or other colored silk.

This story comes from Stone Lake,
Ind: ga gentleman living on the
banks of tile lake had a small spaniel
dog that is the pet of the family. A
neighbor owned a vicious English
bulldog that seemed anxious TO fight
and kill the little spaniel at any oppor-
tunity. Strenuous efforts were made
to keep the dogs apart, but through
the thoughtlessness of some little
children the dogs met on the banks of
the lake, and the little spaniel began
his fight for life. He adroitly man
aged to get the bulldog to the edge of
the water and then got him where he
had to swim. After this display of
intelligence his battle was a good deal
more than half won, for he had the
bulldog at his mercy and in very
short time had him drowned. "-IChi-
