combines the sublime and ridiculous In

FASHIONS FANcIES.

Red and black has been very popular,
but is now hard pressed by blue and

Black feather boas are very popular,
and are almost twice as seasonable as
they were last year.
The silken null, which every heroine
in the modern novel wears, is studded
with beads, and is exceedingly pretty
and chic.
A great novelty is the faced camePs
hair cloakings, in which the outside is
usually of some of the beige tints, the
inner side showing old rose, blue green
or mauve tones.
Wrappers in fannels trimmed with
ribbons are very pretty and popular.
For bath robes crash and heavy jersey
flannel is much worn, with Capuchin
hood, cord and monk sleeves.
Box plaits appear upon some OF the
newest modes in dress skirts. Some OF
the plaits show at the back only, others in
front, and on still others they form
Vatican fold that reaches from the neck
to the hem in the back.
The use of leather is increasing IN sew
eral lines of dress. The light tan is the
color most used. A turban without
brim has the sloping side crown covered
with folds of velvet and pipings Of
leather. The velvet rabbit ear at thu
side is erected in knot that is rur

THE LITERARY WORK OF ]. w. RILEY
AND S. w. FoSS.

Each Has Gained Fame and Both Are of
National observation-disclosures Why the
Humorist's Work Is Not Sure of Per-
manent Place in Literature.
OF all forms of literature the humor-
GUS is notably evanescent. And it
makes the admirers of James Whitcomb
Riley and S. w. Foss-the men now de-
lighting us-grieve to add that of hui
morous poetry the dialect kind is usual
" the most eYanescent. 1t is impossi-
BILE for the spirit of one age to be repro
duced in the next, and he who is not in
the spirit misses the subtlety of the
humor. 1t is only the very finest that
will even bear transplanting, for in an
other country the jokes must be ex-
planned, and humor that requires foot
notes is dead already. Instance Hing
ston's English edition of Artemus Ward.
To an American the explanations are
almost as funny as the text.
Yet how rich in suggestion some of
the lines of Riley are; how delicately
suggestive are the sly illusions of Foss!
But "lndian summer" is a season I'M
known in England, and so Britons can
but wonder at American enthusiasm
over those richly suggestive lines:
When the frost is on the pumpkin and the
folders in the shock.
In England there is no "husky rustic
of the tossels on the corn" no "raspin
of the tangled leaves, as golden as the
morn no forest hues that mo painter

a LEGEND OF hEROISM.
Tne Vengeur Went Down But Would Not
Surrender.


Surrender.
Legends based upon alleged acts of
heroism die hard and, although it has
been proved repeatedly that the soul
stirring story of the Vengeur is little
mere than a mere sailors yarn, it is still
as deeply rooted as ever in the French
mind, says Paris correspondent. AS
the story goes it tells us that dur
ing the memorable victory of Lord
Howe over the French fleet off Ushant,
in 1904, the frigate Vengeur, rather
than surrender to the English, went
down with the colors nailed to the mast
and the crew singing the "Marseillaise"
and crying Viva la Libertem Whether
we believe this legend or no, we owe its
author q debt of gratitude, for that it
has inspired the well-known artist, NJ.
Pollpot, with the subject of the most
attractive panorama ever shown in
Paris. 1t is exhibited IN the large build
ing of the Champs Elysees, which for
merly sheltered the panoramas of the
Siege of Paris and the Battle of Sol
ferino. The painter has chosen the
moment when, at the close of u hard
days fighting, the French fleet, overA
powered by Lord Howe's squadron, is
doing its best to escape in the direction
of Brcst and when the sailors of the
Vengeur are just going to their heroic
death. ".
The frigate has settled down SO far
that only the guns on her main deck
are available, and with these the artil-
lerymen are firing last feeble broad
side at a stately British vessel of the
line, from the decks of which shot and
shell are being poured into the sinking
ship. The ragged, wounded sailors of
the Vengeur are in the act of mailing
the tri-color flag to the stump of the
mainmast, while an officer on the quar-
terdecll, raising his hat on the end of
his sword, hurls defiance at a group of
English marines on board his majesty's
ship Brunswick. All round are the
fleets of both nations, the vessels keep
ing up running fight as they speed
through the choppy sea- Many of the
British men-of-war have already
launched boats to pick up the survivors
of the Vengeur, scores of whom have
been washed off her decks and are cling
ing to floating spars. M. Philpot is to
be congratulated on the admirable
picture he has given us of this stirring
scene.-N. Y. Recorder.

PRIMITIVE TANNING.
How Indians Utilize the Skins of wnt
Animals.

How Indians Utilize the Skins of wild
Animals.
The original process of curing skins
was probably the simple one of clean
ing and drying them Removal of the
hair by maceration in water seems to
have been common among the very
early tribes, and one writer has sug-
gested that the idea was obtained from
the natural process Of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case of drowned animals,
where maceration can be plainly OBJ
served. Following this, smoke, sour
milk. oil, and the brains of the ami
mails themselves were found efficacious.
Many of these primitive methods are
employed at the present time, thus
bringing into novel conjunction the
days of the rowing Massagete and those
of the thrifty American An acquaint-
ance of the writer, Massachusetts, tan
ner, travelling recently through the
province of Winnipeg, CHANGED upon a
small Indian village. The place was in
no way interesting except in the en-
ployment of the squaws. They were all
busily engaged in removing the hair and
those of deer and moose, which the
bucks had taken in the chase This
they did by means of sharpened bones
which they piled in a vigorous manner,
rubbing away both flesh and hair.
The skins, it seemed, had been taken
from the animals some time before, and
together with the brains partially dried
in the sun. After the squaws had COM
pleted this scraping process, the skins
were stepped in leather-like mix ture
made from water and dried brains, and
were then reduced to soft texture by
frequent llneading and similar manipu-
lation. Ten days later this same manu-
facturer was in Peabody Mass, in one
of the most modern tanneries, and,
though the space of time intervening
was only II little more than week, yet
In it he had traversed the whole gamut
of the art.-Popular Science Monthly.

Tho Dog That Accompanies the Grand

Tho Dog That Accompanies the Grand
Old Man on His Walks.
"Petz" is the name of little black
Pomeranian dog at Hawarden castle to
which, it is said, Mr.. Gladstone has be-
come much attached. The dog came
from Swalbach, Nassau, where two of
Mr.. Gladsone's family were sojourning
for some time in the early summer of
1888. PETE belonged to Herr Bersoir of
the pension stadt Coblentz, where they
stayed, and in return for their. atten-
tions he so entirely devoted himself to
the two English visitors that, when the
stay came to an end, by friendly ar
rangement PetZ came over to England
and made his new home at Hawarden.
The attachment of Mr.. Gladstone to
Petz is of course altogether reciprocal
ed There is no one the little fellow
cares half 80 much to accompany on a
walk as Mr.. Gladstone, because he
knows that the chances are that he will
get more Observation-Disclosures pet
passion is running after sticks-out of
the great statesman than from the
other and more hard-hearted members
OF the family. With this object in view,
he will lie in wait in the early morning
outside the right honorable gentleman's
dressing-room door, in the hope that he
may be allowed to accompany him on
his daily walk up to the church at $3.50
a. m. for the morning service. Mr..
Gladstone has often protested that in
throwing sticks for him to catch he is
quite unable to resist or to tire out his
pertinacious little friend. Nearly all
the ex-cabinet ministers when visiting
Hawarden have had to contribute in
this way to Petzs amusement
| Mr.. Gladstone delights in telling his
friends how on one occasion when he
was telling tree, with Petz as his only
companion, the little fellow after a
time thought some little attention
should be paid to him, and that some
chips should be thrown to him to fetch.
So he kept picking up chip now and
again, and dropping it at the wood
mans feet in the hope of attracting his
attention.
Mr.. Gladstone took it all in, and, APP
pearing not to notice his little friends
efforts, went on with his tree telling,
determined to try and tire him out
But 1t was no good, and at last, In dire
distress, Petz picked up large chip and
dropped it on Mr.. Gladstone's boot, at
the same time looking up into the
statesman's face as if his life depended
on his wish being gratified. The honor
able gentleman had to give in, and
Petz was made altogether happy
