They Arc Easily Traced and Some Are
Remarkable.
There is n universal tendency to seek
and sometimes to see in the forms of OBJ
jects around us representations of the
human figure or of animals and plants.
Many interesting examples have been
recorded and pictured of rocks and
mountains presenting resemblances to
animated forms. We are quite ready to
discern in the clouds all sorts of per-
sonages, and at periods when supersti-
ton has been active apparitions have
been described, the whole existence of
which consisted of misinterpreted
simple resemblances. Stones have
usually been considered especially
worthy of attention in this category; in
tubercles of sandstone and nodules of
flint it is easy to find features analo-
gous with the most various objects. A
block of sandstone is exhibited in the
forest of Fontainebleau on which one
willing to see it may recognize petri-
fed knight on his horse, all of the nat
ura1 size. A nodule of sandstone was
once brought to geological laboratory
in O museum on which the owner saw
the portrait of our Lord on the cross.
Some persons are specially ingenious in
finding resemblances in flints, and

Tho Examination OF Clothing from the
Moravia-NO Cholera in New York.
NEW York, Sep. Sin the expert ex-
animation to determine the presence OF
cholera bacilli in the specimens of cloth
ing taken from the Moravia, made by DIR.
Byron, the result was negative. as ex-
pected, owing to the failure to obtain
fresh data to work from.
As to the present care of the Moravia' 8
passengers, rigid measures of disinfection
are being carried out daily on board the
ship, but passengers will not be taken to
Hoffman Island for their additions till
after all the ships at Quarantine without
sickness have been through the treat
ment.
Dr. Sanborn reports that no new cases
have been developed on board the Moravia.
Upward of twenty five suspicious vessels
are due from now on until the expiration
of the next ten days, and the Quarantine
Health doctors are preparing to meet
them. 1t seems almost certain that some
of them will bring cases of cholera on
board.
After the Health Inspector had
made a very careful examination OF
the suspected cholera patient at 95 Or
chard street, he made a report to Dr.
Roberts at Sanitary Headquarters that it
was neither cholera nor cholerine, but
simply cramps.

GILBERT ISLANDS SEIZED.
Great Britain Lays Claim to a Group in

Great Britain Lays Claim to a Group in
the South Seas.
SAN Francisco, Sep 3.-News comes
from the South Seas of coup by the
British Government in it's territory grab.
bling scheme in South Pacific waters This
time it is the seizure of the Gilbert Is
lands, a small but valuable group down
under the equator. The agent of her
British Majesty was the warship Royalist,
in command of Captain Edward H. NJ.
Davis, also significantly styled Deputy
Commissioner"
The Royalist put into the lagoon that
cipal island of the sgroup on Sunday,
June II. A boat landed Capt. Davis and
interpreter and several lieutenants. They
proceeded to the palace of King Nanterri-
ate Tebureimaa.
At an assemblage in the afternoon, at
which the American fruit firms doing
business in the Group were represented,
Capt. Davis made detailed explanation
to the King as to what Great Britain
would require of him.
Among other things he ordered the King
to pay forthwith his debt of $40 900 to
the white traders or to get out of the
place. Then came the pretext on which
England had seized the island.
At 4:4O p. IN. the Kings flag was pulled
down and instantly the British colors
fiuttered efrom the staff The war
ship off shore noted the change and fired
the usual salute. That evening the same
performance was repeated on another part
of the island. The few American resi-
dents were furious but helpless.

bordered materials I have seen hero
have gold in their bands, but even that
is Of a quiet, duller shade. The ma
terials thus far have been extremely
heavy. Do you know what burlaps is
like? Well, the new catiline is just like
refined burlaps, made into beautiful
soft shades. It's just as heavy and
thick, except of course, that it's all
wool Another kind is like the
monte cloth we embroider on, only
very much thicker, and has a
quaint design running through it.
The new striped velours are fine
serge with raised cord of two colors
added, making stripes about quarter
of an inch in width. These colors give
pretty effects, very much the same as
does shot silk. For instance, the ground
is dark blue and the raised cord dull
blue and deep orange-as I saw it re-

way it looks like brilliant orange, but
turn it and you get only the dull blue
effect. Another one of fine weave Of
darkest red and blue, as the ground
work, and pale green and orange for
the cord, is very striking.
Another material is woven in long ir-
regular line and uneven pattern and
colors, quite eastern in appearance.

HAMBURG, Sep. Sedan Day passed
without festivities of any kind. There
were no professions, no music or meet
ings. Not flag was displayed in the
city.
In all the churches services of prayer for
the abatement of the plague were held
They were attended by crowds which

of mourning on his arm, was to be seen,

Der of fresh cases.
According to the official statement
1855 persons have suffered from the chol-
era since the epidemic took foot hold in
this city. OF these 1,778 have died. Com
plants are coming in from all quarters
about the hardships which the quarantine
intlicts on almost everybody living here
at the present time by choice or other
wise.
The foreign travellers are, of course, the
greatest sufferers, though it must be
conceded that in many cases they have to
thank themselves for their discomforts.
Travelling in Germany, and especially in
this city, has been almost entirely sus-
pended. The government warns the pub
lie not to travel by way of Cherbourg, as
vessels from that port are infected and
subject to quaranNne. Some of the pub
lie buildings here will probably be turned
into temporary hospitals. Since yester-
day new system of disinfection has been
: established, which works apparently

are of subdued colors, and the dots melt

Although there seems to be more COM
mon sense than usual in these materials,
the cut of the Paris gowns seems more
fanciful than ever. One dressmaker
seems to vie with another in adding one
more eccentriclty, one more fanciful
touch here and there. And so things are
getting worse and worse, and dressmak-
ers- on this side of the water are driven
well nigh to despair. The only comfort
left is that human ingenuity will soon
como to the end of it's resources in the
particular line it is at present pursu-
ing, and must needs start afresh in a
new direction.

A pelerine with full yoke on stand

To be quite in the style you must
have Scotch plaid silk in your ward

plaid silk plays very prominent part.
They're not pretty, a great many Of
them, but that makes no difference.
The bigger your plaid and the gayer
your colors the more fashionable you
are. So resign yourself to the inev-
table, and procure your silk. If you
have rich brunette complexion, the
plaid may be becoming, and then, of
course, you won't mind it.
How are you going to trim the edge
of your new skirt? There are so many
styles now, it's hard to make up your
mind. They're trimming them with lit
tie under flounces, then a band of rib
bon all around, tied in straight fat
bows every three inches, and above an
other band of ribbon closely scalloped;
and some have fuled ribbon at the
edge, and a lace flounce above, caught
up with butterfly bows; and some have
lace bands, with band of ribbon laid
over in the middle, tied in bows all
around; and some have passementerie
and shells of ribbon above, with narrow
velvet bands between. And there are all
sorts and ways of trimming; and if you
can actually think out new and pretty
one for yourself you may use it and feel
sure it is the style.
