Superintendent Darlington of the Pennsyl-
vania lines is of the opinion that fast trains are
the safest, and unless there is a defect in the
track an accident seldom happens to them.
"Our No. Z" says he, sis known to be an ex-
.ceedingly fast train, and every one keeps out
of its way. At Knightstown, for instance
where our fast trains pass through at nearly
sixty miles an hour no one has ever been hurt
The people know the trains cannot be stopped
In second and govern themselves accord
ingly. II is in towns where there are slow ordi-
nances that the people are hurt. They know
the trains are compelled to run slow, and
take their time about getting across the track.
The experience Of railroad men ia that fast
trains are the safest. In the event of cattle on
the track 1t is BETTER too, to hit them hard than
easy. l was on the engine Of a freight trim

tried to stop or run slowly the engine would
have been derailed."

classic outlines of the white marble buildings

from the street bridge over Rock creek. and
when the October winds swirl the leaves from

The second picture represents two charming
outdoor toilets for early autumn. The one ON
the right is silver gray serge, with an amber
cOlored surah blouse and sleeves with red and
black spots The bottom Of the skirt is set off
with three bias strips of black and yellow. The
lower sleeves are in plain surah. embroidered.
The blouse is embroidered with black silk
The costume on the left is an apple green fou-
lard covered with black lace. the embroidery
being on the silk in black stitching The cor
sage is of the silk, but the sleeves are of velvet
in darker shade. At the back the lace simu-
lates figaro; in front il falls epaulet style
and covers the whole 'front.' The straight col
have lace cuffs. There is also belt and plas-
tron of galloon embroidered with dull green silk
on peach-colored background.
ABOUT SLEEVES
1t is very common at this period OF the sea-
son to see sleeves differing in color and ma
terial from the stuff in which the gown is made.
AS in the dress just described. velvet seems to
be the favorite material fox such sleeves, the
folded belt and collar being o. the same ma
teriaI. Such sleeves are usually in pale colors
and add peculiar charm TO artirtic toilet
The velvet sleeve invariably ends in a deep far
ing lace cuff or else there is long cuff of gui-
pure Or pleated gauze. Still another style calls
for long. tight sleeve of the dress material,
with pulled velvet sleeve ending at the elbow.
where it is held by a band and
bow of ribbon. Strange rs it may
seem. these velvet sleeves are particu-
larly effective in combination with soft
gauzy. fiimy materials, like chiffons. crepons,
silk gauzes, silk muslins and the whole long
list of summer stuffs. The wide faring cuffs
of guipure are strikingly becoming to fine
hand and arm. Some of these puffed sleeves
are divided in the middle by bands of silver
galloQn. In all cases belts and collars should
present the same scheme of ornamentation.

The work on the observatory and its compile
lion has been carried on so quietly and SO un-
SYSTEMATICALLY that people will be surprised to
see the result. The buildings when occupied
will represent an OUTLAY Of 800 900 which has
been appropriated by Congress.
Under the direction and superintendent OF
Capt McSair the construction Of the build
ings has been q work OF infinite pains. and il
will forever stand a monument 10 his thorough
ness and ability. There are many appreciable
Improvements about the place over the original
plans which are due to him A system Of
water works and an electric light plant on the
premises are two important features.
The first proportion 10 move the naval OBJ
servatOry to another site was made bv Gov
shepherd In his plan of improvements FOR
Washington he decided that he wanted TO OBJ
hterate the site 81 the Old naval observatory
He wanted the ground upon which the OBSERVE
tory stood There are something over .OO0. 900
cubic yards of earth in the hill and il wa4 his
idea 10 shave this down and I'LL III the neigh
boring fats with the material This project
never materialized.
When Admiral Rodgers took charge Of the
Observatory he agitated the idea of moving il
for another reason. 1t Was apparent that the
close proNlniitv Of the Observatory to the Po-
tomac river and fats Ind become "A serious
drawback. Not only did the malaria and
/ miasma rising from the river and flats make
life burden to those engaged at the observa-
toy, but the mlsts and fogs enanating from
the same source often interfered with the OBJ
servat.ons- Then the building was old and in
secure. regular finder box. which endangered
the valuable instruments aud the almost price
less astronomical library.
CONGRESS AUTHORIZES A SITE

OF a commission TO consider the selection Of a

figured linen, or you might choose ba.is,e.
There Ia a plas.ron Of surah and a bel, Of

Of square yoke, from which il falls struight
down over the dress and is not belted in or set
off with any drapery or sash OF any kind Such
a garment is very trying and calls for tall,

dimly seen through its transparent folds. These
trnics, which, by the way, may be made either
OF piece lace. tniie or gauZe. may be worn in
light colors over dark, or in dark shades over
light underskirts. as ecru tulle over pale green
satin, or fine black chantilly over corn-colored
silk

In the third illustration will be found pic
tured on the right an altogether charming toilet
for a summer fete or afternoon occasion. The
material made use Of is a flower figured
batiste, cream ground, with shaded pink carna-
tions. The large collar, which is put on sep
arately. liz finished with deep founce of lace
and falls in epaulets over the pulled sleeves
The straight collar, ornamented with pink vel
vet ribbon, is sewed to the large collar. The
lower sleeve is set of with bracelet bands Of
ribbon. The wide belt is formed of the stuff,
pleated, or of the ribbon, lined with stiff mate
rial and boned. In the figure on the left is
shown you very stylish wrap in striped beige
crepe garnitnred with lace. Chantilly
lace and black moire ribbons are used for this
purpose, also Jet passementerie and beige velvet
for the yoke At the back there is only one
large pleat. deep fiounce of Chantilly finishes
the wrap ut the bottom surmounted by O strip
of galloon. At the back the yoke is rounded,
and the lace which edges it is caught up on each
shoulder with q bow. At the waist line ut the
back there is bow with long ends.
coRsAaEs
are now pretty generally made with the back in
one piece, slightly gathered at the middle Of
the waist line, or else with simple fat fold
down the middle. And need hardly add that
they are often SO balanced that at FIRST glance
you see nothing Of the dress material, but this
is not as it should be- The rule is, all the lace
effects you please. but don't mar the outlines
OF the figure. Some makers now cut skirts
with two breadths Of aterial, one front and
one back, instead Of running bias seam at the
middle Of the back. II your material is plain
the front breadth is cut on the straight and the
back on the full bias; if striped or plaid, then
both breadths are cut on the straight and gored
at the sides. There is but little time now left
FOR thin gowns and the summer girl is making
the most Of it. 1t seems to me she grows
more and more gorgeous and beautiful as
she draws near to the end of her reign. Just
at present she ia q vision OF white chiffon and
lace, her sash being in empire style, wide and
long, and OF white satin, OF course. Her hat,

The last illustration shows still another nov
city in late summer gowns terra Gotta glsce
serge. The bottom Of the skirt has three rows
of satin ribbon of the same shade. separated BY
open-work gold galloon. The corsage is trimmed
In the same manner and also has pleated lace
collarette. This colarette has a straight collar
covered with ribbon and ornamented with rib
bon loops falling over the lace. The cuffs are
garnitured like the skirt and corsage.
In spite Of the fact that the summer girl has
yet brief space of time in which to display her
dainty feet dressed in white canvas shoes or
thrust into dark russets, yet it is quite APP
parent that she pauses now and then to give a
thought to that glorious season of deep tones
and gorgeous colorings which we call fall.
What will the mistress of the modes proclaim.
As yet l hear only whisperings Green is to be
prime favorite, not dull shades, but vivid
tints and tones, and browns, too, are to be
very modish in strong colors. Purplish reds,
known IA magentas. will be in high favor, as
also dahlia, hyacinth and all the puppies tina,
get their brilliancy from red. Bonnets and hats
will be relieved by velvet ribbon in cherry and
poppy, but there must be nothing loud OF
glaring; all must be rich elegant and artistic.

MARSHMALIOw ROASTS,
New Fad for Picnic and Seaside Par
ties.

A New Fad for Picnic and Seaside Par
ties.
"N ARsHMALLow BOASTS" ARE THE
W newest thing in summer resort diver
sions. The simplicity of this form of amuse-
ment is particularly charming One buys two
or three pounds of marshmallows. invites half
dozen friends, and that is all the preparation
required. However, a small amount of kindiing
wood must be taken along, with which to build
small fire in an unfrequented spot on the
beach. away from crowds unfamiliar with SO re-
fined a species of entertainment
When the FIRE is blazing merrily or, better
still ,whe n it has died down TO red embers each
member Of the party takes sharpened stick
and afixes upon the end Of it a marshmallow
simultaneously all those engaged hold their
marshmallOws over the embers, as close as pos
sible with avoidance of burning. and roast
them carefully. turning the sticks around dex-
terously so rs to brown the mar shmallows nicely
on all sides. This requires some skill because
marshmalows are highly infammabIe and will
take FIRE if not very prudently handled.
THE MOST INTERESTING POINT
about the process is that the marshmallows, in
slowly roasting, swell up to considerably more
than their normal size. When done they are
morsels for the gods. resembling in flavor the
most exquisite meringue, with a delicious
nutty and crusty outside. 1t is a sort of
sublimated combination Of candy and cake. all
In one bite, though the proper fashion is to
nibbie the roasted marshmaiiow off the end Of
stick. One set consumed each person pokes
the point Of his wooden skewer through another
marshmallow. and the performance is repeated
until everybodys appetite is satisfied. Marsh
mallow roasts are an excellent medium for
Irritation. mutual regard between a Young lady
and young gentleman being appropriately ex-
hibited by nibbling the nlarshmailows off each
others sticks. Accordingly the idea is sure to
grow in favor and become fashionable

MINIATURE RACERS,
How Toy Boats Are Made for Youthful
Sailors.

How Toy Boats Are Made for Youthful
Sailors.
ss1NHE FINEST TOY BOATS IN THE
l. world are made in New York and Brook
lyn," said dealer in sporting goods to a SrAs
man yesterday. 'Those which are entered by
small but gilded youths in the races at Central
and Prospect parks on appointed DAYS when
prizes are offered are actual reproductions on g
diminutive scale of famous yachts Theymeas-
ure from three to six feet in length and cost
from $40 to S75 each, sloops and cutters being
the favorites just now. Here is one that il
copied after the original model of the celebrated
Wasp and over there is another from the design
of the Mayfower, which Is one Of the most pop.
ular and fastest patterns.
"You can see for yourself how beautifully
these boats are made, with sails and rigging a.
complete as any real yacht, decks inlaid with
narrow strips OF different woods and an auto
matte steering apparatus by which a straight
course Is maintained, the rudder being connected
with the boom of the mainsail. The hull OF
each little craft is cut out from one solid block
and the keel is Of lead. All Of these details APP
ply to the twelve-inch sloop, which can be
bought for $3.50. That is the cheapest style OF
racing flyer. with practicable sails that can be
lowered and hoisted and a brass rail all around.
However, if you want appurteuances appropri-
ately elegant and elaborate no end of them are
imported from England and France.
For example, here are real brass cannon
suitable for yachts, from two inches to five
inches long. They are meant to be firei And
here is q complete cabin with companion way
and skylights, which is intended to be fastened
to the deck Of little steamer. In this box are
miniature life prescrvers. steering wheels,
pumps for pumping water out Of small vessels,
red and green signal lights. ship bells for use in
fog, boat hooks, pulley blocks, and all sorts of
other things that are employed on shipboard,
from capstan for weighing anchor TO bin
nacle with an actual compass that points to the
north. On first-rate toy yacht there ought to
be sailors, and they are imported from Paris
For S3 you can buv q set Of twelve
able seamen in blue toys, every man of them
jointed 30 that he can be made to assume any
attitude that may be required. With the dozen
is thrown in q captain in full uniform.
These toy boats are made for the dealers In
sporting goods by sailors, who find profitable
employment in such work. Our ablsct hand L.
an old salty who has got the business down 10
such system that, with the aid Of one assist
ant, he turns out nix yachts every week Il
took him that long to produce one when he
first began. We purchase from other workmsn
