EuroDean Bribes.

Nothing has proven inore conclusively
the great advantage which our reel
pretty treaty gives the United States
over the European countries than the
development of the scheme on the part
Of Germany to induce South American
governments to break OF their reci-
procity treaties with the United States.
The evidence seems 70 be beyond Ques-
ticn that an offer was sent from Ger
many TO President Heureux. of San
Domingo, proposing to pay him $50, 900
a year if he would break Off the reel
procity treaty with the United States.
President Heureux, it seems, sent a spe
cial envoy to the United States to see if
this country would make higher bid
Secretary Foster replied promptly that
1.-The United States is neither to be
blackmailed or bullied. Ii your coun-
try breaks the treaty it must be prepared
to bear al the consequences, for in my
mind the word reciprocity is associated
with retaliation.

The soft wailing sound which the song
then assumes is said to come from the
uneasy spirits of those who have been
m,lrdered; and the servants who are
frightened by the singing mouse could
never be made to believe that the con.
tinual picking and stealing from the
pantry are done by the singer himself
and his near relatives. For although
it seems as if SO gifted creature should
be above such night marauding, he is
really no better than his commonplace
companions Harper Young People.

FOUR.FOOTED SoNGsTERS.
They Look Like Ordinary Mice, But Sing
Like Wrens.

A four-footed creature that sings is
certainly curious enough to have its ex-
istence doubted; and many people do
not believe that such a thing as sing
ing mouse has ever been seen, or, more
correctly speaking, heard. 1t has,
though; and in a certain house beloved
of mice generally, what sounded like
the voice of a very small bird was often
heard in the wall. A trap was set for
the uproarous ones that kept up a con-
staat squeaking and gnawing, besides
nIbbling every Wand that they could
possibly get at; and one night the
dainty bits of cheese lured into ca D.
tivity mouse that looked like other
mice and acted like wren Such a
quivering, musical little MARBLE could
scarcely come from any other throat
than that of the tiny bird
But it was soon proved beyond a
doubt that mousie did it himself. and
that he must be the very singer who
gave the mysterious wall concerts, SO
the next thing was to make him a cage.
1t was quite an uncommon one, as IN
common as he was himself-a glass
globe covered with netting. A warm
nest was arranged in it, and the curl
Gus little performer took very kindly to
his luxurious quarters He had, Of
course, the best cheese TO nibble at, and
he evidently considered himself in clio
yer. He put on airs, too. and seemed
to know when he was being watched.
At such times he would raise himself
up and try with all his small might and
main to act like a canary. Sometimes
he would hold up one paw, and then he
was full-fedged prima donna, send
ing forth such loud notes that il was
almost startling 10 hear him.
But an easy life did not seem to agree
with this amusing little rodent, and
possibly he pined FOR the home in the
wall, with its boundless freedom, where
he may have left his young barbarians
at play" In few days he died with
out any apparent cause. aud the exDer
Iment OF caging singing mouse was
altogether unsuccessful.

eign fabrics. Some Of the prettiest
effects | saw were in house coats, which
have undergone decided change in the
past year or two Formerly house coats
were made of plain cloth, richly quilted
with satin to match, and collar, lapels
and cuffs We're quilted similarly. This
year the English garment, made of an
endless variety of checked cloth. and
not lined, has taken the place of the old
! house coat. There is reason in the
change. The,man of fashion feels more
at ease in it. He does not feel dressed
up, and yet is sufficiently in good form
to receive an evening call of intimate
friends. There is disposition this fall
to make some further changes, and I
saw very pretty effects in plain shades
of drabs, grays. slate, light and dark
browns. One of the leading haberdash-
ers here is showing house jacket made
double breasted, either to button or
with three frogs, They fit snugly and
are very comfortable.
The English styles in smoking jack
cts and dressing gowns are of soft wool
in checks, plaids and plain shades and
not quilted. OF course, there are still
many of the satin-faccd, sillS-faced and
quilted garments sold.
But the man of fashion is on the
lookout for fall and winter underwear,
and if you had been with me the other
day as the orders streamed into q fash
ionable haberdasher's you would have
been amazed in the first place at some
Of the prices paid and in the second
place at the plainness of the styles.
Here are this mornings orders, said
the sIlave manager, land the signatures,
if put to checks, could easily represent
many millions. One of the Vanderbilts
has ordered three pajan1a suits of sal
mon silk. made plain with initials en-
broidered in the blouse pocket. He
pays forty-two dollars for each suit,
and they are cheap at that"
But ribbed underwear seems to be in
style again. and IS it takes the figure
perfectly it is in crest fa9or. The
sleeves and legs are made il q very &C.
commcdating fashion; that it is TO say,
they can be cut off so as to allow OF
their being adjusted to any desired
length OF limb. But look out for the
ribbed goods when they are given out
to be laundried Directions must be fol-
lowed, for the average laundress is no
respecter of fine wares. Be careful
on this point. The union suit of under
wear all in one piece is gaining little
IN favor, but there are too many buttons

fashion, and so he clings to the double
pieces or to the paisnlss. THIN pref
