Editor Dana's Essay on First Love.

Probably the majority of men do
not marry their first loves. The first
love of a man frequently, IL not usu-
ally, captures his heart before he has
reached full maturity. Oftentimes
she is older than he-a woman, while
he is barely beyond boyhood; and this
youthful passion may be the most
purely ideal that ever masters him,
and the most enthralling. 1t may be
love simply, with no thought of mar
riage and possession, the worship as
OF goddess. 1t passes away, and
there succeeds in due time the natu-
raj and healthy and masculine senti-
ment which leads a man to WOO a
woman as bride. The first served
as an educator for the second; the
fanciful made way for the real.

WHY They Knelt.

Charles III. of England was noted
for his good nature, and although he
was sometimes called @Unthinking
Charles" yet his heedlessness was
more an apparent than real charac-
teristic. The extravaganza Of his
reign went hand-in-hand with poverty,
and on some occasions even the royal
table was but poorly served.
There is a story told of Grammont,
who one day dined in state with the
King.
Charles babe the Count to notice
that he was served upon the knee, a
mark Of respect to guests of the King
not common at other courts.
Il thank your Majesty for the ex-
PLANTATION" answered Grammont. Il
thought they were begging pardon for
giving you so bad dinner"

In my initial illustration set before

I heard a male friend complaining
that he found it impossible to reach the
counter of well-known gentlemen's
outfitter on account OF the throng OF
women engaged in purchasing mems
filings, collars, shirts, ties, handker-
chiefs, and even hats, for the prevailing
style of straw hat for men is very like
the wide brimmed sailor worn by the
women.
On the promenade at the watering
places you meet two types of women
who serve very we'll as foils to each
other. The one is the red checked, ro-
bust, English-looking girl who talks
athletics, walks with a stride, can pull
an oar, steer boat, time Splinter,
keep ball score or pass judgment on a
horse race. She looks well in these
affectations of masculine attire, and she
knows it. You meet her any morning

a serge boating coat, which displays be-
meath it n natty shirt front, stitily
starched with gold studs and mans
collar and four-in-hand tie. Around her
supple waist you will see some fancy
leather belt, and from hat to shoes she
looks as fresh, crisp neat and attractive

as a bunch of buttercups right from the
green meadows. Her step is quick,
elastic, and just a bit man-llke. Fol-
lowing her comes another type-the
soft, quiet, womanly woman. You see
her pictured in my second illustration,
wearing charming red crepe, made
princess style and set of with applique
ornaments OF black velvet over tulle
The yoke Is OF surah OF the same shade
as the stuff, rleated as indicated. The
sleeves, also of the surah, are draped
on the shoulders in the same manner as
the yoke.

When the Doctor entered the room
the man on the bed indicated by a
motion OF the hand that his wife
should be sent outside. The physician,
accustomed TO many. queer things,
contriyed TO send her away without
any apparent design, and then the
sufferer turned TO him and said:
"Doc, are you a married man."
"Yes," replied the man of prescrip-
tions.
"Ah!" sighed the patient, with evil
dent relief, "then you'll understand. /"
"Well?" queried the M. d., hoping
to get at the trouble in the case.
Perfectly. Never was better In
my life."
This was somewhat OF startler to
the Doctor, who had been called in a
great hurry. He retained his nerve,
however, and asked:
"What did you call me for?"
"Why, because I've got to be sick.
It's this way, Doc. Last fall l made
fun of some of my wife's purchases,
accused her OF getting swindled, and
told her to take me with her when
she did her spring shopping. She
took me up, made me promise to go,
and yesterday she began to talk OF
starting out. I'd rather live on baled
hay for a week than CO."

Young America does not like to be
beaten. After very patriotic speech
before a youthful debating society, a
small boy OF twelve wound up with
the following peroration: Not only,
fellow citizens, did we beat, rout and
utterly annihilate the British in our
glorious war for independence, but
we, too, have sun that never sets,
although they think they are the only

an 8 reign. Oftentlmes the young matron
is the most charming of women, keeping
her beauty as she does her spirits and
vlvacity. Her costumes, too, by their
gentle dignity and softened tones afford
the eye a resting place amid all the
brilliancy and glare of the summer girl s
attire. In my fourth illustration pre-
sent charming picture OF the young
matron and her younger self offered in
evidence Of departed glory. The mother
wears a green foulard dotted with
white, the skirt being set of 18th deep
flounce, the head Of which is held by a
ribbon. The Jacket corsage has flchu
of muslin chiffon made as indicated, one
end Of which extends in rutfie TO the
lower edge OF the jacket. The little
daug hter Is dressed in a Scotch plaid,
red and blue on ivory ground. The
skirt has a rufle on the bottom. The
color OF the corselet and braces should
be In harmony with one of the colors OF
the plaid. The yoke and the pufed
sleeves are cut straight. The cuffs AND
lower corsage are bias.
You will find still another specimen Of
still life at summer resort pictured in
my last illustration. The mother in this
case is clad in a very pretty morning
dress Of striped muslin delaine, garni-
tured with ribbons. The scalloped and
toothed effects must be kept in the per-
feet harmony here indicated, and care
must also be taken to carry out to the
smallest detail the applic ation of the
ribbon garniture. The child wears 9
charming little dress OF white crepe
with embroidered yoke and cuffs. The
draped effects Of the corsage need 10 bt

waist line somewhat. The plastron is

ONE Of England's famous admirals
has just laid down as an ultimatum
before Parliament the statement that
England should always have naval
reserve of fifty thousand men, twenty
battleships, forty cruisers, and tor
pedo fleet ready to go to sea. This,
be it understood, In addition to all
Great Britain's numerous fleets scat

Mr.. HENRY NJ. STANLEY, the At
rican explorer, who is the Unionist
Parliamentary candidate for North
Lambeth in the city OF London, will
need all. the assistance which Mes.
Stanley can give him to win in that
peculiar constituency The sitting
member, Gen. Fraser, is Tory. He
won the seat In 1886 by majority of
412 over Walter Wren, popular can
didate. He carried the seat in 1885
also, but only by majority of FOG.
Fraser, however, was an exceptionally
strong candidate and made a great
canvass. 1t is related OF him that he
used to be on Westminster bridge at
5 o'clock every morning for three
weeks before the election to exchange
greetings with the Lambeth artisans
on their way to work. Mr.. Stanley
will hardly do that. 1t is probable,
too, that Fraser retired from the con-
test because the Liberals have gained
in the constituency. They carried it
at the City Conncil's election in
March. Mr.. Stanley does not seem
tohave the capacity of making friends
with the working people. The Tories
sent him 20 Pembroke TO WOO the
sailor votes there, but they would
have none of him. He failed also to
make a good impression in Sheffield.
The Tories of Lambeth took him be-
cause they could not find another.
The contest will be decided week
after next. 1t may be that Mrs.
Stanley can win the seat for her hus
band, but the chances are the other
way.

A RAILWAY ride of twenty miles
for cents! That is the prospect
held out by the London County Coun-
Gil to overcrowded Londoners who
have their eyes bent longingly toward
the green fields Of the country. Mr..
William Saunders, one Of the radical
members Of that rather radical body.
is the proponent of this scheme,
which, in addition to the cheap fare,
embraces another novel feature. 1t
is proposed that the railway upon
which the motive power is to be cleo
tricity, shall be paid for on the "bet-
terment" principle, or, as we say
here, by special assessment. In New
South Wales some lines of railway
have been constructed at the cost OF
contiguous property, but the pending
project in London Is the first Of the
kind in England. And there is as
much to be said in favor Of resorting
to the betterment plan in the con-
struction Of a railway as in making a
street or laying pavement. The
principles involved are identical. 1t
is not likely that the Conservatives
of the County Council will look with
appreciation upon Mr.. Saunders pro-
posal They have already been horrl-
fed by certain progressive features
of the Liberal and Radical pro-
gramme, and the pending proposition
will add alarm to the feeling Of dis
tress which has oppressed the Tories
ever since the remarkable victory of
the Progressiyes in March last. But
the Tory minority is so feeble that
its opposition to the Saunders scheme
will he immaterial, and it is likely to
be undertaken and pushed to success.
1t will certainly command the en-
thusiastic support OF the labor ele-
.ment, and on that account the Lib
erals will find it convenient to give
the project their approval and assist
ance. And in that event the dream
of cheap fares over a railway owned
and operated by the people of London
will be very near realization.

, THERE is small doubt that Palacio
may be now spoken OF as the EXPIRES
ident of Venezuela. The revolution
in that war-worn country seems to
have completely triumphed, leaving
the defeated government leader in as
bad plight as Balmaceda was left
in at the end OF his downfall. Let us
hope that Palacio will not take his own
life, as the disheartened Gillian did,
and that he may succeed in escaping
the wrath OF his enemies. 1t is true
that he is charged with having emp
tied the national treasury for his own
benefit, and of having forwarded his
booty to foreign parts, but it will not
make matters better to put him to
death, as many of the revolutionists
would like to do. They have gained
the day, and what they should now
think OF is not vengeance, but the
necessity of taking prompt and wise
measures for the restoration OF peace
and prosperity to their suffering land.
