BRUSSELS, Aug. 10. Great excitement

rage that has resulted in three persons
being fatally injured. Ostend Is the
favorite resort for the Belgian aristoc-

England. and much frequented by Eng

Germans. While number of people
were in the cafe dynamite cartridge

The force of the explosion was terrific.
The cafe was wrecked and the windows
shattered, the tables broken and
plates and glasses smashed and hurled
about the room. Several persons In the
cafe were wounded by the flying mis-
silss aud three were fatally injured.
The spectacle was the most horrible ever
seen in Ostend. People came running
out from the cafe their faces streaming
with blood, adding to the dismay and
terror OF the fashionable throng that
had gathered at the sound OF the explo-
sion.
The police rushed in and found sew
eral persons lying in the wreck with
serious wounds, one OF them uncon-
scious and another most dead, owing to
the copious flow of blood from cash on
his temple. The wounded were at once
conveyed to the hospital or their stop
ping places and efforts were made to
ascertain who was guilty of the crime.
There was very little left Of the dyna.
mite cartridge, but the police were able
to locate where it had been placed. So
far, however, they are without any reli-
able clue as to the criminal.
Two persons OF suspicious appearance
arrived In Ostend from Paris in the early
part Of the week and were Swallowed By
the police, who suspected them OF being
thieves or swindlers. They paid their
way and MS they did nothing TO justify

BRAINY WOMEN LIKE STYLE.

Mrs. Frank Leslie Wilde, who is a
capable as well as charming woman,
goes in for all feminine fads of newly
fledged belle and wears her Paris gowns
with as keen satisfaction as though she
had no other thought in her head than
how to adorn her beautiful person,
writes a New York correspondent.
Amelie Rives Chanler is always beauti-
fully gowned. Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
though just mite eccentric, never gets
so far over the line as to leave the really
beautiful. Blanche Roosevelt, who is a
wonderfully pretty woman, is always
correctly attlred in gowns just suiting
her blonde style to perfection. Mrs.

The Reauer scarnel at First.

During 1916 the Mccormick reaper
was patented, machine that afterwards
revolutionized the agricultural interests
of the world. 1t attracted little notice
at that time, and it was not until years
later that its full value was recognized.
During the same year some man taxed
his ingenuity by inventing and patenting
combination henroost and beehive.
The roost was made on top of the hive,
which had flap doors, held open during
the day by springs. The inventors
claim was that the bees would enter
the hive little before sunset, through
the then open doors. At sunset the
hens would take their places on the
roost, and their weight would automati.
cally close the flap doors to the hive,
and prevent the bees from coming out.
AT sunrise the fowls would fly off the
roost, releasing the flap doors, and thus
permit the best emerge for their daily
work at gathering honey.
This device seemed to make an i'm,
preston on the Commissioner of Pat.
ents, as to utility and value, which the
Mccormick reaper failed to do, as the
following extract from the commits

of any importance, is combination hem

HARpsH1ps OF PARIS sHoperRLs.

The shopgirls of Paris, says the Lon.
don News correspondent, have called a
meeting for tonight at the Bourse du
Travail. Its object will. be to protest
against the refusal of the Chamber of
Deputies to extend to them the law for
the regulation of the conditions of work
in workshops. The refusal was dis
guised under the form of an adjourn
ment on the score that their grievances
were not yet ripe for discussion.
The situation of shopgirls in Paris is
one of great hardship; their pay is not
handsome, they are obliged to dress well,
and they have to be in the shop from
thirteen to fourteen hours, meal times
included. One of the hardships of
which they complain is being forced to
stand for SO many hours. The air is
generally exhausted, as customers fear
draughts. Wor&girls, if skilled, are
much better off than shopgirls.
1t appears from statistics produced
yesterday at the Congress Feministe by
Nine. Vincent that out of the 10, 352,
900 artisans OF France there are 4, AIS,
900 women who receive in wages OF
dividends no less than 1892, 900, 900.
There are in Paris 5000 women, doing
business on an Independent footing, and
out of 1855 suits that the Council OF
Pfudhommes judged last year 1874 con-
cerned workwomen.

Enormous wealth of the Country.

When Mr.. Porter of the eleventh
census gets around to it he may be
able to show that the capital invested
in commercial enterprises in this
country is not far from $50, 0o0, 000,-
900. In 1880 it was something over
$40, 600, 900, 900. 1t has been esti-
mated that Mr. Porter's figures would

AN ELECTRICIANS LUCKY WIFE.

The wife of young electrician, we'll
known in New York, has just returned
home after protracted sojourn in Buf-
talo, where natural gas is almost as much
of household necessity and convenience
rs is running water. She has many stories
to tell about the labor saving uses to
which natural gas, combined with cleo
tricity, is put. The one that interests
her husband most is her description of
an arrangement which she saw in the
house of Buffalo friend whereby the
master or the mistress of the house can,
upon awakening on frosty morning,
touch an electric button in the headboard
of the bedstead and light the fires in the
dressing room, dining room, and kitchen.
Another electric signal arouses the cook,
and by the time that she reaches the
kitchen she finds hot fire awaiting her.

A Foil FOR BEAUTY,

One of the most embarrassing posi-
lions IN which woman can be placed at
the table is when she is pouring the tea
and coffee. These adjuncts to the meal
are usually given to the guests at time
when there is lull either in the eating
or conversation, and naturally the atten-
ton of the company is attracted to the
hostess, more especially so if she be a
pretty and graceful woman. The Eng
lish long ago recognized this fact, and
made very pretty provision for it. It
consists OF a neat woven wire or metal
framework about eighteen or twenty
inches high which is placed on the out
side of the tea tray, Enclosing it on either
side,,, thus partially hiding from view
the fair one who is doing the honors.
General speaking, the frame is orna-
mented with pretty little draperies of
light, Powered silk, or some other fiimsy
material, and thus she is shut off from
the curious gaze of the guests and can
pursue the even tenor of her pouring
without experiencing the slightest de-
gree of nervousness. These screens are
not, to our knowledge, very we'll known
in this country, but once their utility
was recognized would doubtless become
very popular. They could be trimmed
with bows of ribbon or draped with lace
or delicately painted designs on silk or
satin. Suggestive and appropriate mot
toes could also be woven in the centre
or in any other manner that might sug-
gest itself to the maker. This would
greatly enhance their beauty and make a
very ornamental addition to the furnish
ings of the table. New York Commer-
cial Advertiser.

FASHION NOTES.

For certain uses handsome silk plaid
Innings will be used.
Alpaca is recommended as most
serviceable material.
Very little fringe is worn now on the
other side of the water.
Delicately figured bengaline silks are
among the dainty novelties for the COM
ing season.
Russian colors promise to be the pop.
pular tints and they are emeralds, dull
blue, deep red and black.
Many modish white wool gowns dis
play sleeves of green velvet, that being
the only bit of color in the toilet.
For church, visiting, reception and
high teas bengaline is the favorite ma
terial, and it supplants cloth and even
crepon in popularity.
The Elton and other fancy short jack.
cts remain feature of new waists that
open over shirted or pleated vests, the
fronts very full and girdled.
A charming evening gown just com.
pleted is made of pink satin brocade,
with small white flowers, and long
graceful green stalks tied together in
punches.
The new shadow silks will be used for
gowns entire, or parts of handsome cos
tunes during the present season. Some
of the color effects are exceedingly
beautiful.
A pink crepon tea gown was cut en-
tirely in one, with cape-like trimming
of lace carried down the front en- cas-
cade. The sleeves were full to the elbow,
and were trimmed with lace.
A simple gown in black nuns yelling
had yoke trimming on the bodice of
narrow black ribbons ending in double
tab-loops. This also edged the skirt,
peeping from beneath wide founce.
Black silk velvet capes lined either
with black or changeable silk, brilliant
red or pale yellow surah, will be worn
during the early winter by the tall, slen-
der women whom they compliment.
The accordion. plated blouse is new
| and popular factor in the field. There
| is no lining except in the little round
yoke, from which the plated fulness
falls longer than the waist line, and is
| caught up beneath folded belt finished
with rosette on one side.
Some of the very new French dress
skirts show row of tiny frills alternat-
ing with very narrow bands of velvet or
galloon. This trimming, instead of be-
| ing confined to the extreme edge, is
carried from the hem to the depth of
from one-half to three-q quarters of yard
up the length of the skirt.
Among the colors adopted by the
Paris syndicate are "Coquelicot," q
bright brick red; "Angelique," pale
apple green; s'Paradis," bird of paridise,
| yellow; ''Diavolo," bright cinnamon
shade; "Pygmalion, a brownish vel.
low; "Trianon," a faded crushed rasp-
berry, and "Eminence," deep red
